The Undiscovered Pharaoh Sahure still rests in his Pyramid?

The pyramid of Sahure at Abusir has suffered greatly from the ravages of greed and time. But perhaps a twist of fate has allowed the monument to preserve the king’s undiscovered remains.

The hazards of exploring and excavating this fallen structure have protected the chambers within for centuries or Millennia. John Perring in 1837 was the first and only explorer to reach an inner chamber since it catastrophically collapsed in the ancient past.

New research in the past few years has brought amazing discoveries that are already rewriting the history of Egyptian pyramids. Parts of the pyramid remain buried in rubble, waiting for their secrets to be unlocked. New excavations are underway that may be the best chance of finding the remains of a ruler from the Old Kingdom.

So pleased to see analysis of lesser known pyramids! Thank you for all your efforts in creating such clear and informative videos! Great work!

[mortalclown]

Your defense of often overlooked explorers and their findings is appreciated - especially because you did so it prior to vindication.

And, alhough you're much more advanced than this, a lot of us are getting 'Pyramid 101' under our belts by paying attention to the lessons in these videos. You make the trek enjoyable.

Respect.
Paz y luz, everyone. 💫🇪🇬

To get your head around how old the pyramids really are just think about the fact that when the whole Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Ceasar thing was going on the pyramids were already roughly 2500 years old. They were closer in time to leaving comments on youtube with their iphones than they were to the building of the pyramids - by 500 years.

Many thanks for this rare, unpretentious, non sensational, balanced, rigorous, and well produced documentary. I loved your clearly carefully selected visuals, the seamless continuity (indicating very professional visual editing and sequencing), your meticulous details squeezed into this time frame (good script editing). And the soft music! Tnank you.

[JonnoPlays]

I think this was one of your best productions to date!

What a great vid. On this one, I really liked the fact you didn't dumb things down. Most people who are into Egyptology want to learn stuff they don't know. There are Pharaohs I have never heard of before here. Not been very well lately so maybe I can add something of value later. Great stuff HfG.

[XtrovertedHermit]

good to see ancient architects mentioning History for granite. Another fine presentation by this channel and will look forward to the next one.

[Red_Rebel]

I love this channel! The thorough analysis of architectures and lesser known sites is what I’m here for! It’s good to see some photographs that are only accessible to professional egyptologists and not the public.

King Tut’s Tomb is not the only royal burial from Egypt to be found in tact. Another pharaoh from the 21st dynasty called Pseusenes I burial was found in Tanis. In terms of wealth found its 10x what Tut was buried with and is where the silver sarcophagus was found. But it was found on the eve of WW2, I believe within months or weeks of the outbreak of war, so now one was interested in the finds and it never got the attention that Tuts burial got. It also was not in the valley of the kings and not on the tourist route so that probably played a role in it being unknown.

Always happy when you upload a new video! Great work!

[melancholicmuse]

Amazing video! I could watch this all day

[KasumiRINA]

2:43 Ah yes, the guy who restored Egypt to polytheism and brought back power to priest class was somehow "too unimportant". If anything, Tut had surprisingly big impact for how short was his life.

It's so mind-blowing to me that there is still so much being discovered in Egyptology (sometimes despite obstruction by the field's established authorities, argh 🙄). Despite centuries of busy archaeology in the region, somehow there are still semi-unexcavated sites like this one - as well as new tombs being discovered at Saqqara & elsewhere. Always found the field fascinating from a child onwards, but the fact that it's such an ongoing area of live discovery just makes it exponentially more exciting!! Thank you HfG for bringing us these updates that we might otherwise not get 😊 💖

[thchenry]

Just wanted to say I love your videos. Thank you for making them!

[Raphael]

So much information! Keep your good work. Looking foward your next content video.

[TheWhoreculture]

The more of your extremely erudite videos, the more I can see you have a very different approach to Ancient- Egyptian History - than most. You make extrapolation, using facts& in no way try to glamourise an already fascinating subject.
I'm very blessed in that I've been visiting Egypt since the 60/70s - my father was a friend of Colonel Sadat. We, at my mother's instigation, were lucky to get to place far from the well worth tracks, even then. Often in Helicopters & from above, I have always had a feeling there is a greater plan, that we are missing out on, particularly with the possibility that there are still sights awaiting discovery.
Ea ch timevingo back I'm a combination of delighted that there is more comfortable access to many sights, but, mitigated by the ENORMOUS amount of "clues" that have simply disappeared, behind "safety stuctures" & supposed "restoration.
There is still much to find - my feeling being, that Hawass has a vast file of other people's work, which he robs & calls it his own work!?!
This neanderthal has fir to long, with his friend in crime Lhener, had too much influence in a country where, objectivity is more important than ego.
Keep up the awesome work👌💥👊👏👏👏❤💯👋⭐💯✌

The story of this just increased my admiration for my family ancestors even more because as miners who worked in treacherous conditions from the age of 12 until the retirement age of 60 is very much under appreciated and undervalued. Excavators get more praise for some reason

[tski]

I woke up this morning with the idea if learning more about Egypt. This was an excellent choice.
Thanks man. Really well done. Playlist on auto play

[StephiSensei]

Hooray for Sahure! Terrific video! Thank you.

[GermanGreetings]

It`s a beautiful imagination, that Sahure lies still there in his pyramid.
Thank you for all that delighting work, you are doing here, Sir !
