[@kateapple1]

Well, seeing how it’s your first day on KZbin …. 😂😂 let me explain. it’s KZbin…. Content gets posted and re-posted it all over the place with no permissions or cares. Think of it like this someone makes a movie and for the next hundred years all you’ll see is remix of the same movie. It’s common hustle to repost videos that have done well in KZbin and copy and re upload as your own. There isn’t a RULE against it.. it’s just a cheap lazy and totally not creative thing most content creators do. As Bernie Sanders says…don’t hate the player hate the game 😉🫡

It keeps getting posted because a lot of it is BS. - Google every dynasty Pharaoh statue, 1-30... and you learn a pretty heartbreaking truth, quite quickly. It's pretty wild. Since all the statues are spread all over world, you could never really see them all in one place, until Google... But the result of seeing all the statues is quite sad.

[@TalentedTenth]

Nubia and Egypt are sister civilizations that emerge from Naqada civilization. Egypt blended with the levantine cultures due to proximity and Nubia maintained something closer to the original culture over time. That whole area is fascinating. I think we need to take Nubia more seriously and explore the language and culture to get clues into predynastic and early Pharaohnic Egypt.

The pyramids date from about 8,500 BC. They are from an earlier culture. The fact that she calls the great pyramid the "final resting place of King Khufu" when there is not now and never has been a single bit of evidence that the pyramids were intended as tombs, tells me this is not to be taken seriously. It is still shocking to continue to encounter this strangely contrived history of Egypt that academics and the government of Egypt continue to promote with such ferocity. I get it. Even in ancient times the Dynastic Egyptians were trying to lay claim to glories of a people that were long gone by the time of the Pharaohs. One dynastic family laid claim to all of the megalithic structures in Egypt that were supposedly built by them over a roughly 100 year period. A young Pharaoh went around and had his father's name and his grandfather's name and his name scratched into all kinds of megaliths and statures and even the great pyramid itself in an attempt to make the people believe that those structures were built by his family. And here were are 4 thousand years later and we're falling for his BS propaganda.

[@WorldWokeApeCult]

Every piece of evidence shows that the pyramids were tomb complexes. Instead of wasting your time on silliness, why not study the real story? It’s more interesting.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

@@WorldWokeApeCult Im not the source of the debate. The debate exists. Evidence is ignored because it defies established beliefs. What "evidence" are you referencing? The fact that the pyramids contain ZERO evidence of being tombs is pretty much an established caveat. I dont know what planet you're living on. More interesting? What could be more interesting than discovering an advanced culture that existed more than 10,00 years ago? Such a culture was likely wiped out by probably catastrophic flooding caused by some kind of impact, which is likely where our flood myths come from that can be found all over the world. Many of these megalithic sites show damage caused by unimaginable forces. You can not date granite carvings. These megalithic structures found all over the world defy explanation if one only considers the primitive cultures from which they supposedly sprang. You are locked in a set of beliefs that do not follow logic or probability. At least I keep an open mind to other possibilities and theories. You are a true believer whereas I engage merely in speculation because I would never be so bold as to claim I KNOW what happened thousands of years ago. You do realize that in 10,000 years there would be literally nothing left of our own existence here for future archeologists to discover. Nothing but a layer of strange polymers in the geologic layer would be the only thing to survive that we have created. None or our steel or concrete or plastic will last the test of time. Only whatever granite carvings we may leave behind will remain. And the people of the future will argue over who carved them. And Im not talking about aliens. So dont even go there.

I hate to see mummies and skeletons put on display. Museums should respect the ancient deceased as most of us respect those more recently dead. For the museum exhibit, they should be returned to their graves after archeologists, forensic medicine experts, etc. have done detailed studies, taken photos, and made models of them for the display.

How about a new spirit for Egypt where camels are not used for the tourist industry and instead kept in a sanctuary away from their super abusive handlers. Same for NYC carriage horses.
