What an amazing documentary, thanks NatGeo. Maybe this gives some credit to the brilliant archaeologist, Dr. Ramadan Hussein, who sadly passed away last year.

Just wanted to share with everyone the sad news that Dr. Ramadan Hussein passed away in March 2022. "Ramadan B. Hussein, the archaeologist who associated his name with a series of exceptional discoveries in Saqqara, Egypt, has passed away after a short severe illness."

archaeologists finding the priests: and they were roomates

Practical, informed commentaries from both Egyptologis. Very much appreciated.

Love watching documentaries like this.

Dr Salema Ikram, It is so good to see and hear you again. The experience and expertise lend this documentary a great deal of scholarship weight. It is hard to know who to trust any more. Your participation here help me to know this is safe and I can trust it’s out come.

Their passion is what makes this so enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

Thank you for the excellent documentary..RIP Dr Ramadan Hussein..

Fascinating discovering another goddess unknown in typical Egyptian History and their priests who appear to be highly elevated males and females of possibly Libyan descent.

[n.k.s]

I'm two minded about such discoveries. I love the history and knowledge these discoveries give us. It's important to know where we came from and how we evolved as humans. However, the reason the bodies were so lovingly entombed was so their mortal remains could be undisturbed. It seems disrespectful to disturb their rest.

I love this!!! Ancient Egypt is such a fascinating topic to me so many mysteries that are still to be discovered

[joseHernandez-xcix]

I wish Disney never bought National Geographic 😢 .
This was so cool and I will be missing these types of videos

[misyelislaslife]

Hoping that I can go to Egypt someday. lots of Love to the Egyptian ancient culture and beliefs

The first mummy scanned looks to be the height of a child or adolescent.
It's a shame that the skeleton has crumbled so much. But, if teeth are still intact, maybe there's a chance of recovering DNA. It would be a way to verify if the two are related: mother/daughter for example.

It's breathtaking to see how far archaeology has progressed since king Tut was unearthed a hundred years ago.

Not just by embracing medical science technology, but the extent to which Egyptians themselves are involved as the scientists. They speak an English we can all understand; and some on that team can read THREE unrelated alphabets.

The level of education is quite an achievement. But apparently that's what it to arrive at this next level of discovery.

Also, highly appropriate that Egyptian experts are on top of these latest discoveries because of what the first DNA analyses revealed about 20 years ago. Many modern Egyptians are related to and descended from the very people who created these marvels thousands of years ago

A first-rate documentary. It hasn't been dumbed down, nor dramatized. Thank you, and bravo!

It is the 1st day if my summer vacay and I consume history documentations. I started with an older episode of Time Team which was about 11 skeketons found in a Victorian shed. Now I watch this. I love it. My vacay is great.

[kingjoerd]

This was such a great video. It felt like being a part of the archaeological discovery of an ancient Egyptian mummy.

[superiorbynature]

Imagine to be someone or something that has survived untouched unseen for 3000 years! Fascinating considering the hundreds of 1000s of cemeteries lost to time.

[lhmszoq]

Most valuable things they discovered.. Amazing Video!!! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing Video!!!.

[ITsMyWay]

Im somewhat fascinated that im willing to stay up all night just to watch it. Funny. It does give us an insight to how this generation of people lived survived and prepared for there loved ones.

Why digging up mummies when it has been preserved for thousand years. I believe in this lifetime we have destroyed so many things in this world. In its original location it has been preserved, until once we remove it we have destroyed it. So sad.
