I would be really appreciative if you guys did an episode on maori stoneworking, the ONLY culture south of the americas to refine stone jewelry making into an art form prior to contact with the english and modern tools/technologies. They also made pendants from whale's teeth and shark's teeth which im supprised you didn't cover in your teeth episode, as their rei niho (whale tooth pendants) are famous throughout the world. No other polynesian came close to the ammount of decorative ornaments the maori made from some of the toughest stones around.

The 18th dynasty is my favorite. Tutankhamen's father really stirred things up in the pantheon of Egyptian gods.

i was kinda hoping they had found out how the polish was so smooth on his mask but this was interesting as well<3

What about the Blue Obsidian from Turkey, that's on king tuts death mask? What makes the Blue Obsidian so Blue, is the high amouts of sodium, and titanium?

Very disappointing that there was no solved mystery. All the things you said have been known for decades.

Hey what happened to the gold episode?

Someone - possibly the camera operator - has a serious breathing problem.

Did you ask if I've been lost to history for thousands of years? Almost feels like I should answer that.

It's not like I was an Egyptian dancer in a past life, only to seduce and be adopted by Ra, to become the goddess Bast, or something like that. Why be asking these weird questions?

Rather stupid no mystery solved nothing I didn’t learn at nine years old when king Tutts exploded in DC with a show at the Smithsonian
