Exactly, these tombs were already almost 1500 years old during the reign of Ramses II (his reign started almost 3200 years ago measuring from present date) and they were a staggering almost 2700 years old during the reign of Cleopatra (her reign started almost 2080 years ago measuring from present date)

We visited this tomb as part of a special add-on tour provided by Archaeological Paths tour, Royal Egypt in January 2020 (pre-Covid). The tour of this tomb, as well as the rest of trip was amazing. Dr. Waziri was our special tour guide when we visited the Karnak temple and a few other places. Our primary lecturer was Dr. Zahi Hawass, probably the most-famous Egyptologist. Our day-to-day tour guide, Yasser Kamel, also a well-educated Egyptologist, was fantastic.

Absolutely. One of the workers who helped discover the tomb was there when we were. You could tell he was extremely excited in telling us about the find. The tomb was discovered in a rocky and sandy hill under about 16 feet of sand. After discovery, they encased the entrance area with a steel framing structure and steel door with a lock on it to prevent unauthorized entry. Nothing was removable from inside the tomb, however. The restorers did a great job without destroying the authenticity of the 30 x 10-foot gallery. The only thing that was changed was to add some lighting. At the time, only guests of Archeological Paths were given permission to enter.

Yes, it was. This tomb of Wahtye (or Wahti - various spellings) was one of 15 tombs we were allowed to enter on our trip to Egypt. The most impressive were those in the Valley of the Kings. We entered many tombs there, including King Tut's which has his mummified remains in the tomb in a glass case. I'm planning a trip back to Egypt when the Grand Egyptian Museum opens in Cairo later this year of next. For the first time ever, they plan on exhibiting all of the 5,000 items that were discovered in King Tut's tomb.

I like how he thanked the workers too as their task is so crucial. I thought he might let that worker get the first view into the tomb and tell the rest what he is seeing and be allowed in the tomb with the scientists and other workers present maybe one at time have a chance to look and take photos etc. I wonder too about preservation and body humidity and what is on the floor like particles of paint to know the exact colors used and even find like hair or something that could be analyzed for DNA or maybe close the tomb to be fully explored in future times with technologies we don't have today. All is so fascinating and hope to go there some day as part of my Bucket List. Just came 2-15-24 back to add a thought to this and wondering what others think. With the dawn of Artificial Intelligence I wonder if they could micro-scan the frescoes on the walls where the original paint is still embedded and record the exact colors where they could digitally re-create what the frescoes originally looked like. Maybe before scanning the walls to first scan the particles of paint fallen as maybe those particles would contain the most accurate pigments to more exactly match the original artist's mixture and match the artist's exact colors with each area of a fresco and digitally recreate what the frescoes originally looked like. Years ago, about 1995 before AI, a friend imagined the wine in the big clay containers vibrated with the voices and sounds of the people while the wine was continually evaporating. His idea was as the people spoke and the surface of the wine micro-vibrated with the sounds. As the wine was evaporating the sound-waves would leave a stain-pattern or sonic record on the inner walls of the containers. AI could analyze the sound wave patterns and re-create what the people were saying. Maybe they had a whole ceremony with music etc, a kind of funeral and they would know the notes of the songs and how they pronounced their words as compared to each of the stages of the development of the Egyptian language all the way up to the most recent stage of the ancient language the "Coptic" phase.

@@daveyr7454 Hi! He, the man in the blue shirt, is very knowledgeable of the very difficult hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptian language as early into this video he points to the hieroglyphs and amazingly translates it to his colleagues. I think your observation is right on, that he doesn't do any of the manual labor. He is probably a professor in Archaeology with of course a specialization. There are I imagine different roles each person has to make such a scientific exploration possible, including those who were physically involved with the excavation. Not being involved in manual labor but in intellectual observation I think is an important division, however excavation is also a very careful process involving a series of grids etc. The scientists need to focus all of their invaluable observations based on many years of education and direct field experience. It must be a carefully orchestrated effort to follow the Archaeological methodologies involved in the profession. The man in the blue shirt and his colleagues are scientists and assign and oversee the entirety of such an endeavor. That's just my amateur point of view.

The Gods who maintain this Universe (aliens) are removing nuclear material from this planet Earth and hanging them on the outside of the metal wall of this Universe. In 2019, 24 of the European Space Agency's Galileo satellites lost contact because these satellites provide services for nuclear power plants, nuclear facilities, nuclear military, and aliens shut down these satellites. Global oil and gas prices and electricity prices jack up because nuclear power plants worldwide are nearly all broken and unable to generate electricity. The nuclear matter is a true time-reversal machine and energy vampire. Because of the nuclear material, this Earth is so trash. Nuclear works by drawing energy from any being (human, animal, insect, soil, soul) attached to nuclear dust. The Gods who maintain this Universe (aliens) made oil, gas, coal and minerals. Please use these energies. Gods recycle the landfills, trash, plastics, waste, sewage, and the dead body of water creatures under the crust to make oil, gas, and minerals. Gods use flying saucers to compress dead trees and plants under the soil to make coals. So Gods can bring better asteroid soil and better seeds to Earth to upgrade Earth.

There is a lot of debate in the Jewish community among Jewish scholars. The keeping of the Torah is only 3300 years, so I will give myself the benefit of the doubt and stand by my comment, "so much great human history to be explored that came before Judaism, Christianity and Islam brought such turmoil to our world." If I understand what the experts say, although modern man emerged much earlier, beginning around 10,000 BCE, the Neolithic Revolution marked the development of agriculture, which fundamentally changed the human lifestyle. Agriculture began independently in different parts of the globe, and included a diverse range of taxa, in at least 11 separate centers of origin. Cereal crop cultivation and animal domestication had occurred in Mesopotamia by at least 8500 BCE in the form of wheat, barley, sheep, and goats. The Yangtze River Valley in China domesticated rice around 8000 BCE; the Yellow River Valley may have cultivated millet by 7000 BCE. Going with this information and your 5000 years, and the date of the Neo Revolution, humanity was free of Judaism, Christianity and Islam for 5000 years, and in those 5000 years there was a lot of history. @@christinestone391

@@leehale5828 I agree and think human civilization is actually much older than scholars officially acknowledge as there is much lost history as Gobekli Tepe proves. Regardless, Judaism is much older than Islam and Christianity and as such a catalyst for the other offshoot religions you mention. Religion is turmoil and I'd speculate the religions that preceded them had interesting conflicts also.

What a bizarre game of hierarchy and status these gentlemen are playing! The big boss has nothing to do with it and obviously no idea, so all he can do is repeat platitudes, the excavation manager and the archaeologists hunch reluctantly behind his back and Hamada, the worker, has only been chosen for the camera because he is so photogenic. How does it come that they are not just happy like children!

@@charlesincharge3404 I didn’t get the sense there was anyone there to “dig up”. As for my “personal experience”, and I extend this to no one else, everyone in my immediate family has been cremated and their ashes spread, ergo there is no one to dig up, no niche to invade. I will be cremated in a cardboard box and also spread to the wind and water. As to my more distant relatives being exhumed? Well, if doing that can contribute to the base of scientific knowledge we have about any number of subjects, I’m fine with it. From MY and only my perspective, there is no person there, no essence of the former person, nothing but a few pounds of chemicals. Ergo, I don’t have any sentimentality about this stuff; death is inevitable and dead is dead. Others feel differently and I respect their needs and wants regarding ritual surrounding death.

@@2nickles647exactly! The tomb's entrance has the name of the King (Pharoah) and the expert leading the excavation recognized that the name is from the 5th dynasty. More than one hundred years of translation of corroborating material has already created a pretty detailed timeline of the years and months during which each king reigned. Every now and then there is slight tweaking here and there but there is so much evidence from dating the materials from Egypt and from Iraq and other places that now we know a lot about the people and the trading and connections with other civilizations of that time.

Det var da en utrolig overaskende spennende video. En gang, 1972-73 da jeg et år var med mann og barn i Xeros på Cypros, vandret jeg ofte alene på markene. Da kom jeg til et gammelt amfi, med "sitteplasser " som trapper formet i en oval ovenfor en scene. Der fikk jeg øye på en arkeolog som gravde og plukket i jordmasser. Jeg svinser over til han og kikket på. "Har du en liten bit av noe til meg"? Han gav meg en lys blå liten glassbit . Derfor vet jeg hvordan glass såg ut i gamle dager : litt "frostet", lett buet og veldig eventyrlig 😻 Det lignet på glassbiter man finner på stranden. Nå er det forsvunnet, eller ligger i et hjørne i en skuff, eske, slik er livet...Men denne opplevelsen glemmer jeg aldri. I sommer fikke jeg øye på en høg flott mørk blå egyptisk? vase med elegant sving med hvite tegninger av rytter og mann osv. Dette var på Fretex, bruktbutikk. Jeg var så glad, satte den i vinduet i solen sammen med Ferdinand Finnes store blå vase. Når jeg ser ut på sjøen, solen , det blå glasset, føler jeg sterkt minne om Cypros. Glasset i denne vasen er akkurat, soft, frostet, ikke gjennomsiktig som den gamle glassbiter fra Xeros Amfiet. Slik kan en leke og undres, Men vasen fra Fretex kan da umulig være antikk? Kanskje gammelt gresk glass fra gamle dager? Så morsom å undres...
