Simon has more channels than a cable package now.

[@TheNickPenney]

Yes! This! Yes!

[@LuisLopez2]

@John Barber There are more Lopez in this world than grains of sand in Arrakis. Not related, but I will give you a parting gift: Lopez comes from the Latin word Lubus.Lupus, which means "wolf". And all Spanish "ez" endings are patronymic of Germanic origin (Visigoth) which means "son of". Lopez means "Son of Wolf". The English equivalent of Lopez is "Wolfson"

[@sarahcapurro6459]

I am a fan of your work, Simon. Your videos are always great to get me interested in new topics. That being said, an understandable slip of the tongue didn't get edited. The Khufu ship was dated to have been built around 2500 BC, making it at least 4500 years old. As I said, obviously just a slip up and I don't mean this to be taken negatively. Keep up the great content, I will be sure to watch your next fascinating video.

It's been known for a long time that the ancients scavenged iron meteorites long before iron smelting was discovered. In fact meteorite iron was preferred because its iron nickel alloy was stronger than the metallurgy at the time allowed.

[@therestingrancor8259]

I'm torn. Of course to discover how our distant ancestors lived we need to excavate ancient sites. But then desecrating someone's tomb, moving them from their peaceful slumber, and their artefacts, to a glass cabinet somewhere, so people today can gawk at you..... I guess the burial was soo long ago, any moral implications have dissolved. I'm all for discovering and unearthing ancient sites-the older, the better for me, but these once great Pharaoh's, Kings etc, would have been horrified to know that they would be 'disturbed' in thousands of years time😔. Just think, in 2000-5000 yrs time, we might be dug up, poked & prodded, dragged around the world and put on display! Tho, we are not big on embalming, or burying our loved ones in a peatbog,..there will probably be nothing left to discover.✌️

[@ryanbabcock6348]

So if you break into a tomb with a large team and sell the artifacts your an archaeologist but if you break into a tomb with a small team and sell the artifacts your a grave robber im having trouble seeing the difference lol I can't wait till we start digging up recent famous people for personal gain
