Tombs of Egypt : Looking for Imhotep’s Tomb | SLICE SCIENCE

[@68Red]

As all the tombs with the exception of Tutankamun, imhoteps, tomb would have been robbed in antiquity. I see a lot of comments negative to Dr. Hawas, he was a key player in bringing the world so much information and is no more of a tomb robber than every person carrying out excavations. I have visited many pyramids along with sites in luxor, the valley of the kings and queens, karnak ect. At every site 90% of tourists pick up bits of the monuments to take home. Every explorer has brought more understanding and many wonders to people who would not be able to see them for themselves. I applaud them all

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

It should be illegal for tourists to take anything at all like that.

[@faragraf9380]

@@wizzardofpaws2420when you see the sand around mastaba overcast with peaces of excellent vases, which Hawass let bulldozers into sand, you wonder. I saw it self.

[@hectorpascal]

Hawas is no better nor no worse than most other Egyptologists, he just has a less endearing and more autocratic attitude to the work. Despite that, I believe his care for Egypt's ancient history is genuine.

I have to disagree with you that 90% of tourists take “bits of monuments”. What monuments are you taking about if you mean the small chipping from the surrounding rocks that are lying everywhere you walk, that doesn’t mean they were from ANY monument. Before you tell me you know because of your visit/s to the sites, then I can say I have visited all of them you mention and more, on many occasions for at least 15 years, including Kalabsha, El Mo’alla , the valley of the colours, Western Valley where very few tourists ever go, and have my own home in Luxor.

1:53 its incredible that there were humans that lived thousands and thousands of years ago and are buried right under the earth, sleeping for eternity right under us among with secret writing, sculptors, blocks, the whole planet and entire universe is one big mystery that we will never understad, hell humans could live forever (not likely) and still will not understand what the universe is hiding

[@randylplampin1326]

9:21 Observe that some workers are wearing rubber gloves and some are not. This raises a potential DNA contamination of the mummy.

[@MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS]

its Zahi Hawass...hes there for the money and to help enforce the narrative, nothing more.

[@Kelticfury]

So amazing all the discoveries Zahi Hawass is making now that he is no longer employed by the government! Such wonderful luck he has now that he can profit from it all!

[@rida-18]

My thoughts exactly. Idk why he wasn't put in jail by our government for the rest of his life. This man is going to sell out our heritage to scammers and cheats with money and power. So much of history that is potentially at risk because of this piece of shit.

He's a crook , well said Kelticfury ❤

[@robbywade9652]

I love him

[@stephenjohnson9560]

OOOh Hawass discovered a mummy with gold instead of an old stick. Wonder which will end up in his stash :)

[@jasonbailey1951]

Agreed. Bet most of this history is gonna end up in his back pocket. He hasn't changed, he just lost a title.

Not sure if this was originally a TV production, but why do productions need to have nonstop music throughout? So irritating.... And I'm a musician! It's like somebody thinks it's a good idea to try to make it more exciting. If the material is not exciting, the music will not help. In this case, just detracts from the experience. I'm bailing.

I absolutely love these types of archaeologist discovery’s I love trying to solve why they were mummified in a certain way I love piecing together and trying to solve the mystery I love figuring out why they are buried with what they are buried with

Welcome to the channel ! 😊

[@jamesjaudon8247]

The entrance was narrow. I was the first to go in. I saw the mummy with a lapis and gold scarab on its forehead. I slid back out and said amazing! He has a stick! As my partner went in. I put the scarab in my pocket. Another amazing find. The stick must be important.

[@bethparker1500]

It's not a stick it's a staff which is larger.

[@faragraf9380]

from an archeologist i expect serious kind of statement. Hawass: „ looks like mummys in movie, that scare people“ a primitive stick isn’t a powertool for a Pharao. This Hawass believes on his showing off. What they do with all that burials? The bearproofs have the right to stay where they were.

[@johannjohann6523]

At first I was excitied to see this video available. Then the angry and ignorant face of Zahi Hawass (the most incompetent man in archaeology) came across the screen. And I had to turn it off.

[@johannesnicolaas]

Hawass is an attention addict.... When I hear him saying the word Gold......I trow up.

[@matthewcampbell7153]

There are many, many indicators of tombs, all around the pyramids... the whole area should be scanned... I truly wish I could have a look at this area and talk with historians connected with it. 🙏🏻

What value did Hawass bring to this excavation apart from shining his torch at the moment it became clear that the remains were intact. Some people might call him a show pony.

[@stephenhickman304]

He usually is

[@OvertheGarage-wv1wn]

Hard to know what contribution he makes by just watching a brief video.

[@donnywolf9250]

Wild.....the narrator calls the other guys " Robbers" for taking out the artifacts these guys wanted to loot from the tomb😂 Maybe the 1st robbers had a museum and were doing the same thing as these " Egyptologists" aka " Robbers" 😂

[@DulceN]

This is so scripted, it’s unwatchable. It’s known that Zahi Hawass decides when to announce new discoveries just to keep the interest going. What a creep he is…

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

That's crazy good condition of that mummy. Maybe her husband died a long way away and she was buried with his stick. Maybe she actually used that stick herself.

Mientras el señor Hawass este al frente de este ministerio, no mucho se podra lograr en el campo de la Egiptlogia, con su animadversion hacia los exploradores extranjeros, su complejo de dividismo, su complejo de que todos los grandes descubrimientos lo lograron los extranjeros, sumado a su edad, nada grande se podra lograr en Egipto, donde muchos ven grandeza, yo veo desidia, mugre, piedras por doquier....

[@QUEUK-j8i]

His tomb has all ready been found under the step pyramid in the catacombs they was a chamber with his name written in it, he was put on the kings statues so it stands to reason the king would let him be buried under the pyramid with him

[@yum9inety4our]

What have we done

[@AshleyMartin-f3x]

Its horrible grave robbers dont even realize how important mummies are to history

[@josi4251]

A large percentage of the robberies happened in ancient times. They witnessed burials and went in very soon after mummies were buried. The primary goal was finding grave goods. Mummies were generally only taken if there wasn't sufficient time to dig around on the body to get all the valuables from it. However, Victorian/Georgian-era people did remove mummies for weird purposes, but it's questionable whether they were royalty or just conveniently found ones.

[@eboyle7367]

The vast majority of tombs were robbed in ancient times by those who knew where the tombs were! They ripped the mummies open to find any treasure. Thankfully mummies found now are preserved, no invasion of the body carried out.

[@AshleyMartin-f3x]

@@eboyle7367 ok I see

[@greentombdive]

Why English/Britain, French and Germanian people think that they know everything about Egipt and Pharaos? Hello to the Mr Hawass, he's the biggest autoritet, and for me too, I have big respect for him.

[@eboyle7367]

If you’re referring to those who took part in the programme, they will tell you if you ask them, Egyptology, is constantly changing with every discovery something new is learned about the ancients, and therefore no one knows everything. Those who took part would also tell you they were invited by the producers for their input.

[@JaredDocEstesMusic]

[@MoncœrCoyoteSmith]

dIt doesn't appear he preserves the integrity of the site. He just goes in looking for treasures. This isn't archeology. This is grave robbing. This man knows this archeology is not from his peoples so he shows it no respect. It is all about notariety and profit. Imagine someone from Jerusalem finding the tumb of Jesus and throwing dirt around and damaging writings and precious artifacts. It wouldn't happen. People respect their own history.

I knew it, somebody had to say something totally wrong! Imhotep and Joseph were NOT the same person! Try doing some actual research before you spew your...fairy tales. Imhotep's father's name was Ka-Neferu and his mother's name was Khredu-Ankh, for starters. His wife's name was Runpe-Neferu, not Asenath,or whatever...sheesh!

[@machrogers]

@deedeskin2439 You are right. I don’t know why this claim pops up from time to time but Imhotep worshipped Ptah. Joseph, not so much. Even the idiot Ben Carson thinks Joseph built the pyramids. Then again, people will believe anything in spite of the evidence.

[@BeeMcDee]
