Lotuses rise from the mud without stains, so they are often viewed as a symbol of purity. Since they return to the murky water each evening, and open their blooms at the break of day, lotus flowers are also symbols of strength, resilience, and rebirth..

Scientist: Let's analyze the components to see what the drug does.

The blue Lotus is something I know very little about, and for sure it's importance to the Egyptians is something to hopefully understand more. However I want to chime-in about another plant, that was DEFINITELY essential and important to the Egyptians, and humanity at large, and perhaps even more incorporated as a regular food/medicine than is generally recognized. That plant is the famous Opium Poppy. Has far greater application than the simple "narcotic pain relief" it is so famous for today. In fact, association with sleep (thus the label of Narcotic, like narcolepsy, and the botanical nomer Somniferum) is a grave mis-association in many ways. It is a substantial systemic physiological food/medicine substance, that actually supports higher-level development and waking functionality in human beings when properly used. It could certainly be a major factor in humans being able to build something like the pyramids (whether the Egyptians built them or not). I harp about this all the time, the proper RE-examination and exploration into some of these famous forbidden plants, because my experience tells me we've been lied to, and even that these plants are NECESSARY for our well-being and future.

There is a lily called a Spider Lily here in Australia. I planted some at the foot of my stairs from the deck to the garden below so that as I walked up or down the stairs I could smell their soft, subtle nighttime scent. One night I was down at the bottom of the stairs and started to breathe their scientific in. I went from one flower to another breathing in deeply their individual scent. One of the flowers sent an incredible experience into my nostrils and into the cavities where the breath goes in the head. It was as if all the cells inside my nose and the insides of the inner places where that breath goes we’re electrified with an experience that was indescribable. It was an absolute highly transportive experience that seemed to explode somewhere in the inside of my head/brain. It was one of the most amazing and awe inspiring and like an explosion of pure pleasure on a very physical and also enlightening experience. When I sold my house and went back later on to see it, the woman who was 8n the garden had pulled all those glorious flowering plants out of the garden. I was very sad. But now, whenever I see these flowers growing I will stop and smell each one to remind me and also just in case one of them grants me that experience again 🌸🌹🌷🪷

[@SilverPhoenix-PlazmaMoon]

Please don't tell me the only reason we don't know of the Lotus flowers hallucinatory properties is because noone has extracted the alkaloids and tested a lil' toot in 6k years.

[@stacyMighty]

May God bless you always! I needed this documentary

[@johnnicholas1488]

Excellent. My gratitude.

[@hollylynnoverin6126]

I really enjoyed this movie and I like the ending very much. I could imagine a sequel. Interesting idea.

[@Trapaholicsanonymous]

Has anyone else notice small glitches throughout the documentary?

[@stacyMighty]

Thank you so much for these facts

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

THank you.

[@user-py1vl1tx7n]

Great show

[@beatlessteve1010]

Someone in the audience here mentioned that it didn't get past him that the Mormons studying the DNA were kind of pleased with themselves that they found brother marrying sister.

It's a shame. Even the babies can't rest in peace 🕊️🕊️ they are someone's ancestors. Do your research & when you're done, return them to their rest. I'm sure that won't happen. Those babies will just go on display in some museum or maybe someone's home. Oh yeah back in the day the rich would hold party's & the mummies would be a conversation piece. I'm just saying, if it were their ppl, like Alexander the destroyer, what do you think they would do w/the remains. They would probably put him on display as well. It's nothing but a shame, we have no respect, at all for the dead 🖤🖤

[@lovely-mk4rt]

Absolutely love the new information and explanations of many mysteries. Excellent video 🌺

[@danwestwood9663]

Thank you for this wonderful piece which must again be heeded as we approach a repeat of 1933 in the USA.
