This temple shows EVERYTHING that Egyptians knew | No Tourist walk | Egypt walk

The Edfu Temple has intrigued not only archaeologists but also enthusiasts of alternative history, particularly those fascinated by the myth of Atlantis and other ancient, advanced civilizations. Some fringe theories propose that the Edfu Temple was influenced by, or even constructed by, a civilization predating the known ancient Egyptian society, often linked to the legendary Atlantis. These theories stem from interpretations of the temple's texts and architecture that suggest advanced knowledge and skills.
One such interpretation revolves around the "Edfu Building Texts" inscribed on the temple walls. These texts narrate the creation of a primordial island by divine beings, which some theorists liken to the Atlantean myth described by Plato. Proponents of this view argue that these accounts might point to a memory of a lost, highly advanced civilization that influenced later cultures, including the Egyptians.
Critics, however, dismiss these claims as speculative and lacking concrete evidence. Mainstream scholars maintain that the Edfu Temple, like other Ptolemaic constructions, reflects the religious and cultural continuity of ancient Egypt, albeit with Greek influences from the ruling dynasty at the time. They emphasize that the temple's inscriptions are mythological and symbolic, intended to legitimize the pharaoh's divine authority rather than to record historical events.

[@Niff407]

Interesting details: They started the foundation from the center of the structure and worked their way out doing the block work. Every row is symetrical to it's row, but not the same to the next row and the pattern is random. The whole place is block bricks coated with some kind of mortar that they must have pressed hieroglyph dies in to it while it was drying. You can see that some of the mortar is broken off to show the block work. Which means, they didn't stamp the pillars or carve them, they were poured in to a form, then set up. The walls must've been plastered with mortar and sculpted while still drying, since it takes 24hrs for crete to harden, but, Roman concrete can take days.

[@EB-73-]

Does this count as wood block printing?? 🧐😅

[@lucysluckyday]

Those tall entrances certainly look to have been built for some very tall beings. Reminds me of the biblical phrase, that there were giants on the earth in the old days.

[@denimgenes5909]

This is amazing footage. It looks so much more enchanting and detailed with your camera for some reason. Actually I don't think I've ever seen alot of these specific locations or maybe it's the fact that the audience can actually examine it before a TV commercial cuts it off!! I can deal with occasional ads.

[@CoffeeFiend1]

If we had to create the field of archaeology today from the ground up I have little doubt it would resemble very little to the contemporary. It's got so much dogmatic baggage, we could be learning things about our past rather than hiding behind faith-based models.

[@youtubenomadwalks]

I wish we knew a little bit of what they knew. I think it's a misconception to think that ancient civilisations had poorer forms of knowledge

[@blacksnowflake8574]

the problem is that too many people think archeology is whatever it suits; archeology is a science and it is based on facts not conjectures! Conjectures can help but ultimately it has to be based on evidence otherwise is science fiction and sadly i see too many that confuse archeaology with sci-fi

It's incredible how all of that is still so visible and detailed 3000+ years later. Very glad you liked the video :)

[@picterpreterearth]

Thanks for your great work. We are decoding the glyphs b/c the Rosetta stone and Champollion's altered work are fraudulent. This is not a spoken language, purely pictographic ideograms. Just a pointer to help other researchers; when filming the glyphs it is important to capture clear, slow-panning imagery as much is often blurry and cannot be studied.

[@tehdreams6363]

those carvings on the outside of the big temple look off, looks like someone added them as an afterthought

[@dmslidecancel]

Exactly my thoughts

[@aqua_ninja]

I agree. For a civilization that can create such a enormous building, they must have mastered math, geometry and advanced engineering. Yet the art, the hieroglyph are pretty primitive comparing to the engineering marvel.

[@garychristopher5480]

i beviele the epyptions added the pictures later as this site is way loder that they where the real builders would never have written on a holy site

[@EB-73-]

Just a small detail I noticed that piques my curiousity. From around 13:45 or so you start to get these close ups of these figures, and having never noticed this before, it strikes me as somewhat odd that all of these 'Gods' feature belly buttons so prominently. Now of course there's so much that goes into that, but my thinking as a modern individual is it seems almost purposefully done to emphasize the humanity of these individuals. Without knowing much of anything about the mythology, I realize of course at face value that all these godly beings are sort of these animal charactures fused with the body of man, so perhaps there is some other purpose for the iconography I'm not really sure. Just that again, without knowing the 'why' behind it, it definitely feels purposefully done, presumably once more to emphasize the humanity of these 'divine' beings. If anyone has a more legitimate explanation I would of course love to hear it. Edit; 21:50 Ya you noticed it too. Seems like a curious detail, would be interested to know if anyone has any real explanation for that

[@youtubenomadwalks]

It was! We thought that back in the day, powerful people were so powerful and decisive that would "ascend" to god status, so to say, that gods where also humans first that somehow where elected/selected or that ascended to such status. Probably the answer is somewhat among these lines

All relatively small block work. Not a megalithic stone in sight. Very telling.

[@youtubenomadwalks]

Indeed, the feeling is that somehow they prepared the blocks beforehand (which is super impressive already), and then stacked them on top of each other. Just incredible!

[@1GoodWoman]

Glorious. Thank you very much. What could have destroyed the creators of the site? It seems as if the entire complex was built to tell the stories carved into the columns and walls for all time. Have they been completely translated and are they publicly available in many translations? I would love to see a full image capture of everything and then a data analysis of the features of the images…cat, bird, male, female, belly button or not, instruments being held and also number of same images, size and then unique images….and see if we can learn a bit more. Truly wonderful.

[@youtubenomadwalks]

I think there should be a detailed collection of the meaning of the images. From what I understand, their art wanted to depicture things more than write about them. Imagine the Christian paintings telling the stories contained in the Bible, I think the function was of that nature. Then they also had a system of symbols like an alphabet of some sort.

[@RANDALL_MARS]

Considering the insane efforts it would take to construct these buildings ( according to current academic explanations) why on earth would they build them to these dimensions? Especially the DOORWAYS. I get buildings being grandiose and all that, but the doorways being that large is absolutely unnecessary and odd. Amazing video. Thank you for sharing this insight into a place I cannot visit. ✌🏻

[@youtubenomadwalks]

Thank you very much for the comment :) It's all indeed very impressive! And the site is not the easiest to get to: it's 1.5 hours away from Aswan, and we visited when it was 48 C degrees (118 F), which is also the reason why no one else was around :D

there is no mystery about the chiselling out of faces and names of Gods. It was done by Christian Copts and Muslims, it is a very common thing. In other temples they also chopped up noses and breasts of Goddesses, the same was done by muslims in India.

@@anonymousbydefault yes the Greeks did leave "their mark" on several buildings; I'm talking about the heads not the hieroglyphs, Greeks never mastered the Hieroglyphs which they did not comprehend.
