There is an Ancient Aliens game. It's chock full of kooky conspiracies for us to fact check and debunk, plus we get to be hypnotised by Giorgio and turned into an alien. Who could say no to that?

Emma, Ancient Egypt (before the Phoenicians and Greek/Roman invasions) DIDN'T have slaves nor were the Pyramids built by 'tons' of unpaid workers! There even was something loosely similar to 'Universal Basic Income' in the form of a bag of grains per person to ensure Egyptians wouldn't experience starvation.

The funniest thing is that if aliens really did have the technology to come in our star system in ancient times looking for gold, they wouldn't even care about the Earth. They would just mine asteroids. There's no point landing on a planet, having to deal with gravity, potentially toxic atmosphere and dangerous pathogens and who knows what else when you can just capture or land on an asteroid and get tons of gold out of it much easier when having that type of technological advancement.

[@ftumschk]

Indeed, and why bother going to another star-system anyway, when gold surely existed closer to their home, quite possibly in more plentiful quantities.

[@franck3279]

Absolutely, earth contains a LOT of gold, but 99% of it has sunk into the core and most of the rest is in the magma. In fact, gold mines are all linked to either a volcano or a meteroite impact.

[@danilooliveira6580]

that is why every show or game that needs a reason for aliens to land on a planet needs to come up with an excuse, like some mcguffin that can only be found on planets for some reason, earth's biomass, or the planet itself because they need land.

[@TheNugettinage]

The pyramids were not built by slaves, but most likely by rural farm workers who needed work during the off season. A major reason for some of the bigger pyramids existing is then as a kind of state unemployment mitigation strategy. The main indication of this is the treatment of many of the workers in their death, which was in an honorable manner rather than as slaves were usually buried. Still wasn't fun, mind you, it is likely that stuff like hitting workers with canes and the like was normal for all workers, not just slaves, and it is possible that while the workers were more than likely compensated, a lot of them weren't given the choice to refuse, in a kind of indentured servitude.

[@thenutella8846]

The ancient Egyptians (and probably many other cultures of the time) figured out how to alleviate unemployment by funneling their labor to public works and beautification something our current societies don't bother with.

[@CaelanAegana]

More recently archaeologists have discovered records that indicate that at least some of the workmen who built the pyramids were paid. They weren't paid in gold probably, but they did build entire work camps with the services of farmers, blacksmiths, cooks, etc. The climate of ancient egypt during that time resulted in less desert conditions, particularly close to the river and within its flood zones. Farming took place near to the river so there was access to water and silty soil.

[@DamnedSilly]

Let's face it. They had food, reasonable housing and beer. All they needed was a TV and they'd match modern working class life.

[@BrianS1981]

Egyptian civilisation is generally considered to have fewer slaves than most civilisations of the time period.

[@Black_Knight767]

Yeah, they were actually well paid workers, and had enough rights to have large scale labor disputes. Like, there's records of them pausing construction for a time because they needed more alcohol and bread. The "slaves built the pyramids" was just an extrapolation based on the Bible, with no real-world influence. I learned that recently. It was either in an anthropology class or history class a few years ago.

[@lordjustinian2913]

@@Black_Knight767 Yeah the bible is the thing that says "slaves built the pyramids." I'm pretty sure some slaves were involved in the building of the pyramids since every ancient society did have some sort of slavery present, but it also does seem likely that paid workers were involved in the building process as well.

[@fepeerreview3150]

17:58 Interesting factoid. People like the Ancient Aliens folks often denigrate the idea that the Egyptians could have used copper tools to do what they did. In fact, the naturally occurring copper in Egypt contained high levels of arsenic, which made the copper much harder than untainted copper, and also much harder than the copper found in other parts of the eastern Mediterranean. Not only did this give the Egyptians a more powerful toolset, it enabled them to become the dominant power in the region. The technologies and techniques that emerged from Egyptian civilization probably would have been delayed many centuries, maybe a thousand years or more, if that naturally tainted copper-arsenic had not been available.

I was taught that a major reason that gold has been so commonly valued is its specific rarity. It’s not common, but it is more plentiful than other metals that are non-reactive, exist primarily in their native state, and are soft enough to be worked. Silver is the other common metal that we historically based currency on, and it has all the same properties as gold, except that it tarnishes. Platinum group metals are also primarily extracted as native metal and are chemically inert, but they are super rare and harder to work with than either gold or silver.

This allowed them to, with enormous effort and usage of gemstones, create holes in granite which they could use to weaken and then split it.

The bit about the wooden bird is interesting. It was carved with a vertical tail. In a "documentary" I watched they made one with a flat tail, like a bird's. It flew terribly. So they built another (Holy Grail vibes, anyone?), with a vertical tail. It flew beautifully. Ergo, the Ancient Egyptians had seen AEROplanes :P Or, the Egyptian responsible had watched birds and how they moved their tails to help direct them. He might even have tried one with the tail at a 45-degree angle. Probably sank into the swamp. As the model couldn't adjust its tail, he carved it vertically. The others went into the cooking fire.

Aye, taurian as in Taurus as in bull, and also the '-taur' part of minotaur. The 'mino-' part coming from King Minos who owned the Labyrinth the OG Minotaur was in. The Minotaur was the child of King Mino's wife, Pasiphae, and a sacred bull gifted to Minos by Poseidon with the intention that the King sacrifice it. Minos decided to keep the bull and sacrifice a lesser one instead, so Poseidon punished him by cursing Pasiphae to lust after the sacred bull. She commissioned Daedalus to build her a cow-mecha in which to seduce the bull and after their child, the Minotaur, was born they needed somewhere to house him so Daedalus, again, was hired to be the architect of the Labyrinth along with his son Icarus, who later became infamous for flying too high and melting the wax that held together his artificial wings. I can see why Ancient Aliens didn't use that back story and instead went with alien gene-smithing, but I don't know why they felt the need to include a minotaur in the first place.

Oh, I'm so excited. Emma and Ancient Aliens? This is the combination I've been needing that I didn't previously know I needed. I was such a believer in Ancient Astronaut theories, and I was on board with Chariots of the Gods and In Search of Ancient Astronauts when I was a kid in the '70s up until the time Ancient Aliens started getting popular. Somehow, the mysteriousness of it all, during the pre-internet drought of information, made it all the more believable. But, like many things, the internet made accessing information and verifying facts easier. It also provides a good "debate platform" for debunking these same theories. ("Theories" in the vernacular usage, not the scientific usage.)

The A-Aliens want gold. You pay gold to the Egyptians. Maybe you’ll go on to found a bank later, let them deposit their gold, and then you skedaddle?

[@marcvanbets2370]

What a laugh!!!! You handled this hilariously, Emma!!!!!!😅🤣

[@Sapphykins]

Love ancient aliens being like 'ah yes, the plot of Live and Let Die, the most authentic of Egyptian mythology'

Now the phrase "biggerized my brain hole or whatever" has taken up space in my mental real estate.

Video doesn't start until Akasha shows up and Emma gets stunlocked. Peak!

[@daydays12]

You are so good - a big smile on my face 🙂 even when you are magically spooning!

[@ElectroCurmudgeon]

Gorgio looks like that meme from drunk history

Far easier to harvest space rocks than to content with earth’s gravity and then having to dig gold out of the ground.

[@repeatdefender6032]

What a very, very weird game! Some very disturbing ideas, indeed, I found it pretty horrifying. You made me laugh my arse off though. 😂

[@twt2718]

I've wondered many times why we think gold is worth anything.

[@paint1956]

I almost choked to death on my dinner. Who's gonna clean my walls. A really giant fish named Stan.

[@ivangelinem.9479]

love your videos!

Fun fact but they weren't slaves, recent studies show they were actually volunteer 'subject' serving a set time for the building efforts as a great privilege.

[@LuvtheJEm]

I'm a slow reader, so the pauses in dialogue are kind of nice for me. Nothing else about this game is worth a damn, but I did appreciate the chance to keep up.

[@riccardoleone4265]

Gold is valuable also for a couple more things: it's heavy, so you can carry around a large amount of money without it taking much space, and it's very malleable, which makes it pretty apt for coins and jewelry instead of tools.

[@liamodonovan6610]

Love you're open minded and open thinking channel emm youvare always interesting

[@OxyMauron]

"Vomited the fist speck of gold." "Hey, you feeling snacky?" Excellent transition, Emma.
