What Caused The End Of The Pyramid Age? | Immortal Egypt | Timeline

The professor explores one of Saqqara's last pyramid complexes to illustrate how Ancient Egypt's `Pyramid Age' came to an end. A worsening climate combined with political upheaval, famine and economic difficulties to plunge the state into a dark era of civil war, with the land dividing into smaller city-states headed by ambitious small-town leaders. In an obscure tomb in Thebes, she uncovers the stories of warriors who fought in the bloody battle that would eventually lead to Egypt's reunification, and reveals how settlers known as the `Hyksos' tried to infiltrate the fledgling nation's government to seize the throne.

​@VedoMikeSulli ...... the size is symbolic. The pharaohs are shown larger than usual to make him the center of attention, like we do in billboards. I really hope you were joking because, ... you're taking the wall drawings exactly literally? Found the problem. It's so very clearly art, symbolism and advertising, as it were. The pharaohs were everything, above everyone else. I saw a video about Cyrus the Great amd how his wall art was different. He had other people close to his size. He was more humble and wasn't overbearing like pharaohs were. All kinds of these wall paintings and stories in them were exaggerated, like egomaniac leaders often do. The size is symbolic.

Leo Sim so you’ll know for future reference and not to be mean. For your sentence the word is spelled Fazed Is it fazed or phased? Specifically, “faze” means: “to disturb, disconcert, or daunt; caused to show discomposure”. ... From this, we can see why it should be “phased out” instead of “fazed out”, with “phase” referring to stages and thus “phased out” signally the end of some stage. So just remember: “fazed” more or less = “disturbed”Jun 15, 2010Fazed

Mrs Nicholson was her name and she was scary when she needed to be but she was always patient with me and my dyslexia but she also gave me that push I needed to do it on my own. She taught me about Mary queen of Scots ( I’m from Scotland) and Mary Queen of Scots is something big in my life. I cannot explain it other than I feel like I was there?

[@raed1276]

@Zack Erskine correct! The Egyptians were all things in most things but they were less of the traditional West African and southern Sudan typical black Africans as people would call them.. The Nubians to the South and Ethiopians to the southeast of Egypt were known to the Egyptians and at many points or their bitter rivals and enemies! Of course as the world goes all peoples of all times are a mix of all races and when traced back far enough we all come from the same two humans! That is factually true whether you believe in evolution or whether you believe in creationism you're still going to at least share that belief in two original humans somewhere near North Africa or the Middle East areas... Whether it be Adam and Eve or the genetic Eve as evolutionists call her but when these people existed and how they came about is where all the contention lies in the theories... I'd say Egyptians were closer to a mix between white Greeks Brown Mediterranean and dark brown Arabs and semites from the Semitic tribes... And remember the Semitic tribes include Hebrews or Jews and often cases, Aramaic tribes, and all Arab tribes. So it is impossible for Arabs to be anti-Semitic because they are semites and cannot be anti themselves while believing in themselves at the same time. They can though be anti-jewish or anti Hebrew which is kind of dumb to want to be something like that seeing as how the Jewish people are made up of millions of people all around the world with all different types of lives and experiences and beliefs and morals so it's almost akin to being racist but Jew is not a race it's a religion very touchy subject for some people it's always been very clear to me anyway good comment very true peace...

@@callmeincarcerated2503 jup. Egyptology is a 'pseudo'science. They might have some things right coz of the French finding the Rosetta Stone and they can now translate the glyphs.... but most of it is utter garbage. Just take a look at the unfinished obelisk, you clearly see marks as if someone 'scooped' rock out of there, like it's softened first to remove it. Yet Egyptologists... pounding stones and coper chisels. The same goes for the marble statues where you can see drilling marks at the base and it's pretty clear that the glyphs are of inferior craftsmanship compared to the statue, like some later people started to claim these masterpieces as their own but lacked the sophistication and knowledge the original builders of the statues had. Also the 'unfinished pyramids' aren't unfinished, they just weren't pyramids, and in all of these we see some granite precise coffin that's always empty. Egyptologists say it's a sarcophagus for mummies despite there have never ever been found mummies inside the granite boxes. Personally I think it's more something of a practical use, to store food underground in a cold place to preserve it longer then the heat above. Or even used as houses, around the Mediterranean Sea we see all cultures at one point hid underground and in caves. So it might have something to do with that. I'm also of the believe that the pyramids weren't tombs and they weren't (all) constructed at the same time. It's far more likely that they build over older structures. Almost nobody knows that there is even a labyrinth of corridors going underneath the pyramids at Giza, leading to giant granite boxes and all of it doesn't look like you would do it for 'just a tomb'.

I realized pretty quickly that empires reach a peak in prosperity and then fall due to corruption, complacency, internal struggles for power, etc. It's always happening from the inside. In the 21st century there is a chance we might witness another one of these cases happen even though it is not an empire in this case. It's really sad that people never actually learn anything when it comes to politics. Edit: my last statement was poorly thought.

[@machiavellian1823]

"People never actually learn anything when it comes to politics." I'd like to disagree. We went from oppressive monarchs to democracies. And as for your first point, the reason why such empires fall is because it's run by humans. We make "mistakes" (sometimes for selfish reasons and sometimes they really are mistakes.) But the one thing that has kept us alive is our ability to adapt and learn from history.

"As Above, So Below" - precept of ancient sacred geometry All the ancients observed 7 moving objects in the heavens - the Sacred 7 Luminaries/7 Heavens/7 Classical Planets: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. 4 of these can't be seen during the day/4 don't cast shadows on Earth. There are 4 primary lunar phases of roughly 7 days (~7.4 days) each, thus 7-day weeks and 4 weeks in a 'moonth'. Lunar year 354 days + 7 day week + 4 days = solar year 365 days. The Roman Calendar The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, and Israelites measured with cubits. Common cubits = 6 palms x 4 fingers = 24 digits. All sacred buildings used royal cubits = 7 palms x 4 fingers = 28 digits. See Seal #2: GOD=GOOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 (on Planet Nestor) Theory at 7seals.blogspot.com . Only the returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. 7/4=July 4th or 7 April 30 AD: Good Friday(74) when Jesus(74=J10+E5+S19+U21+S19) was nailed on(74) the Cross(74=C3+R18+O15+S19+S19).

What I find interesting is that empires are a bit like people, and they go through different stages of life. All of the once great powers - Egypt, Rome, Persia, the Greeks, etc. - are shadows of their former selves, like old people going quietly into that good night. The United States is a young teenager, full of energy and happy to wield their big stick at the moment, but way off in the future they'll become a mellow old Sam. Britain, who are now in late middle age, are the ones who spawned the United States, gave us the most spoken language in the world, all the most popular sports, and started the Industrial Revolution, which led to modern society, but now they're not the power they once were, and are off on the long road into history. It's fascinating really...
