Exploring the Great Site of Giza

Have you heard of Prince Hemiunu? The treasure of Queen Hetepheres? The fourth pyramid of Giza? Do you know what they have in common? If you said they are all buried in tombs on the Giza plateau, you would be correct. All three of these people, as well as 6000 others, are buried at the site of Giza, alongside the remains of a harbour, quarries, towns, and temples. We all know about the pyramids and the Sphinx, now take some time to explore the rest of the exciting history of Ancient Egypt’s most well known city of the dead. Watch this video to learn more about EVERYTHING ELSE that has been found at one of the world’s most extensively excavated sites.

So glad to see a community of real archaeologists not only for stepping up, but for really committing to communicating this!!

Awesome video, came from flints shout out and stayed for the real archaeology

Well done video, interesting well organized presentation, with plenty I or most laymen didn't know, and no question about your factually.

Very interesting and packed with lots of detail. I'm ashamed to say that what I know about Egyptian archaeology would fit on the back of a postcard. I did visit Giza and the sphinx years ago but was too young to appreciate it. The closest comparison to what we have here in Ireland is Neolithic passage tombs for example at Newgrange which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Sorry to miss the live premiere and just watching now. A lot of important history happening in the current time lol.

Great video! I will have to cover some of this next time I teach an Intro Archaeology class!

The picture is very good but there was never volume issues with your vids before, and now there is.

hello from germany!
great video, a lot of valuable information - immediatly subscribed to your channel 🤝

just one tiny thing .. as far as iam aware of, the khuf“boat“ was probably more a ritual solar barque than a boat. if used, probably only once for his funeral because you can not sail or row with it.

anyway… great video, keep up the hard work, happy that flint directed me to yo ur channel :)

I am always fascinated with ancient Egypt. I often keep asking myself why there is no mention about the building of the pyramid. The ancient people of Egypt always documented everything. This had to be by design. Why did they not want anyone knowing how they built the pyramids. What are they hiding or not wanting us to find?

I saw hemiununs statue in hildesheim 3 times this year

Haven’t finished the video yet, but, rhythm of war is two shelves above oathbringer. I’m going to make the assumption that the owner was doing a reread recently. Is this bookshelf archeology??

You need a plastic spoon attach a microphone or some other hi-fi magic. But subscribed for the nice red sweater👍. Christmasy

I admit it's conjecture but the missing mummy was probably stolen and eaten. Eating mummies used to be a thing

[bigjim]

Very disappointed, i waited for the guy with big hair & the aliens but all i got was a very educated woman talking sense in a well structured & interesting way. Bring back the history channel! 😉

Building pyramids for Dummies? Funny. One question: When were the Giza pyramids not in use anymore?
