What Ancient Wonders Are Hidden In The Sahara | Eternal Egypt | Timeline

The last episode of the series ventures into the desert that the Egyptians of the Nile have never really managed to control. To this day it remains a place of danger and rebellion.
Three centuries after the first discoveries, Egypt still reveals new buried treasures, and its inexhaustible myths continue to exist.
In this modern context, what has become of the river, the source of the Egyptians' livelihood for thousands of years? What does death mean today? What strength does eternity still have in the minds of its inhabitants? And what can be found in the arid desert?
Combining geography, civilization and archaeology, this series unveils the most spectacular places in Egypt, and takes us to meet those who continue to maintain the legends. A dreamlike journey through four powerful and mysterious symbols around which the identity of Egyptian civilization was built: Death, Eternity, the Desert and the Nile.

Antarctica was not always a frozen continent as the Sahara was not always desert.

[@lawerancelanham]

That is correct. These whale bones and such, I believe weren't swimming there as he states. They were displaced to that area. Meaning....something hit the Atlantic and literally washed all those sea craetures up and onto Mauritania along with all the sediment. That's what the aerial view speaks to me as..but I'm no geologist or anything 😅

[@DrYalexIsOnline]

Antarctica will eventually not be a frozen continent, as the Sahara will again become green.

[@DrYalexIsOnline]

@@lawerancelanham comets, meteors, meteriorites and such ...do hit our planet often. In addition - there was an inland sea which closed and dried out. Whales in the Sahara were not "displaced".

[@linz8291]

Sahara was similar to persian countries, and Antarctica was similar to Brazil or Australia when they are during the golden age.

[@yanina.korolko]

LOL. Been there, done that! then... had a revelation; 1. it's a natural rock outcrop, originally carved to representing a female ruler Meritites I, as the lioness Ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲥⲧⲉ, (Oubaste) worshipped as early as the Second Dynasty (2890 BC). Her name also is rendered as B'sst, Baast, Ubaste, and Baset. In ancient Greek religion, she was known as Ailuros (Koinē Greek: αἴλουρος, lit. 'cat') facing the sunrise, tail to the south.

[@danimotherofchickens479]

Why tho. The Bible as well of every society around the world, knows it was there before the flood. Which is why it has water erosion.

42:20 The "oracle" priest had no bloody idea who had killed Alexander's father (Philip of Macedon), so instead, he kept repeating the usual for a king/pharaoh/ruler/general "your father is not dead, he is a new star in the sky with other stars/gods (dead kings/queens, who are now also concidered as stars/gods), Alexander, you're the son of a god...." followed by heavy mechanical breathing. 🤣😂 BTW, Darth Vader never says, “Luke, I am your father.” In actuality, he says, “No, I am your father.”

There is no context to place living whales here. Erosional events discovered its final resting place; we have no attempt made to circumstantially account for this location, just the tired repetitions of whole-cloth fables and "deep time". We are more confident a whale was buried here than lived here; expired forms of sea life are routinely transported beachward (and beyond) by swelling waters.
