Do you know why are the pyramids still in Egypt? because they were too heavy to carry to the British museum.

[raymondsmyth]

I have been fascinated by Ancient Egypt since my childhood now in my 70th. year these programmes condense the latest discoveries & new interpretations I am addicted.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day

Can't live without a bit of the history channel. Brilliant.

Just the fact that in 2021, we are closer to Cleopatra than she was to the building of the pyramids is mind blowing.

[michaelmaldonado]

Mind blowing the skills they held so long ago!!!

The dollar bill definitely isn’t boring to look at.

#1 was amazing! I Love the face & eyes. The fact that they used gemstones like Lapiz Lazul, obsidian etc. on his face & head piece was very interesting! 💕💕💕

The Egyptologists are stuck in a rut if they still believe when and how the pyramids were made. Yes, the Egyptians were amazing, however, let’s not ignore the strong possibility that they inherited many things from a much older civilization.

Each time I'm in Egypt I encounter more and more unsolved mysteries. I've recently started to travel with a camera. I hope that we can solve some mysteries together! 🕵️ 😁 Greetings Irena :)

The pyramid/tomb of King, TUT, is so big a drivethru tunnel runs THROUGH it!The sing atTthe Entrance says...TOOT AND COME IN !!!😮😏🙄🤔🤗🙂😗😂

The pyramid's geometry showcases both π and the golden ratio, φ, with the conjunction π − φ^2 ≈ π/6 ≈ φ^2/5 not only providing a natural basis for the cubit/metre ratio but also approximating the speed-of-light latitude in radians. Its scaling reflects the size of the Earth and its rotation rate. By relating cubits to metres and days to seconds, this mighty monument quite deliberately encodes the value of c, figuratively permitting the conversion of energy to mass. Parallels exist with a recent analysis of Avebury, which also demonstrates ancient knowledge of modern physics.

History is always changing as new discoverys are found. Technology improves and also changes history.

😇💜 In 1978 I got to see, the exhibit of King Tuts treasures in Los Angeles CA, and it was AMAZING to be able to see, all of the artifacts from King Tuts tomb. 🤗💜

My Ancient Ancestors were Fascinating !!!!

[tankeater]

Emperor kufu wrote in his diary that he uncovered the Sphinx from the sand. He was told in a dream where to dig it up. Yet egyptologist lie about this fact for some odd reason. They'd rather people believe myths then to find out the truth.

I hope I live to see the wonders my Ancestors built
