Closest Look Ever at 'Giant Ramses' and Alabaster Sphinx of Memphis | Egypt 2024

What Remains Of The Capital Of The Pharaohs?
Let's see what remained of the first capital of unified Egypt: Memphis. Was the city founded by the first king of Egypt, Narmer/Menes, or was it Epaphus who named it after his wife?
Let's take a closer look at the breathtaking sculpture of Ramses II (Ramesses II) and the mysterious sphinx of Amenhotep II... or maybe Hatshepsut? We will learn more about the history of the city and find out why it was built in Mit Rahina.

this reminded me of the words of the arab historian "Abdullatif al-bagdadi" when he visited Memphis' ruins in Egypt in the medieval times. He admired the city and its artistry and abhorred the practice of quarrying its stones for building. He stated that the ruins covered vacious area that you would walk for half a day in any direction to reach the end of the ruins. I, myself, being from native fellahin population, cry everyday for this great city and mourn its previous glory as if I witnessed it. Thank you very much for remembering my poor city Memphis and honoring it with a visit though very little remains of it.

I like the thumb nail image of Ramses smiling. He's obviously looking at a cute, young, red head lady, and enjoys her beauty.💝

Amazing site, I had no idea quite how much was there, and all shown off by a brilliant, enthusiast, and amazing person who never dumbs things down but really elevates her audience.

Amazing. You always tell the story so well.❤

[colinleat]

Hi Irena 👋. Sorry it's been awhile, I've got a few of your recent video's to catch up on. That statue of Ramses the Great is UNBELIEVABLE!! Im blown away by the detail and excellent condition! I could watch a full hour just on that! I always get it mixed up, but Memphis was the first capital and then Thebes? It's again unfortunate that, the particular area you couldn't go into is closed to tourists: NO
EXCEPTIONS. Great as always! See you next episode! 🖖😎🤘🇨🇦❤️

Regardless of my You Tube name I live in the UK and i’m now retired. One of my new pleasures is to watch your excellent videos to learn about ancient Egypt accompanied by a cup of tea !!

[edgarsnake]

Thanks, ASG. Your commentary is as interesting as the wonders that you are showing. Once again, your vast knowledge and research brings fresh perspective to a subject I have studied since I was a boy--wonderful ancient Egypt.

[jesseleesamples]

Thank you for this one. I always enjoy your videos showing these places because I get to live through you for a few minutes seeing these treasures of the world that I’ve never seen myself. I’m especially fond of Ramses the Great though and have been obsessed with him and his history my whole life, so this video was especially enjoyable for me. Ive watched many of your videos, and I always enjoy the ones like this the most where you just simply show a wonderful place and discuss its history. I love the close-up shots you take of things, because most videos out there don’t show the details up close very well like that. That statue is breathtakingly large and beautiful, even on camera. I’m sure it’s absolutely amazing in person. I always read about its massive size, but no one ever showed and described its detail and beauty like you did here. If you were to rank the best statues ever made across the world, this one would probably have to be high on the list. One of my biggest life goals is to travel to Egypt and this is one of the “must-see” places for me. To walk or touch places/things that Ramses touched and see his mummy in the museum just sound absolutely magical to me. Someday I hope to experience it. When I watch your videos traveling there, it inspires me to reach my goal of visiting there even more, so thank you for that, and keep it up.

[claudiamanta]

Thank you for yet another beautiful and informative video! It brought back some nice memories from when I visited. I am more of a Upper Egypt myself but I love Saqqara.

[spencerdavis]

Gratitude beautiful for keeping the ancestors history alive... ASE..❤❤❤

[Maya-uuyu]

Another amazing video. You are very knowledgeable, and I feel your passion for ancient Egypt. It makes watching it even better.

[NullScar]

Keep up the great work.
May your channel blossom like the speed of light!

[maxwellulm]

Excellent episode as always. I never made to that Memphis open air museum. So, nice to see your tour for us!
