Love this channel. I went to the King Tut exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto in 2008. Egyptian art and artifacts are absolutely breathtaking to behold with your own eyes. A television screen or photo does them no justice. I highly recommend anyone go to their local museum or exhibition center to see them for themselves when such travelling displays are in their area.

Tywin Lannister did an excellent job with the narration.

When Tut died at such an early age, I can only suppose it was unexpected. There being a good reason why his burial posessions were more than likely inherited.

I recently visited Tut in his tomb. Is his mummy already in Giza or still in his tomb??? Greetings to all egyptomaniacs!❤

I read many many years ago that one sarcophagus of King Tut, was actually built for a woman, possibly Queen Tiye who I believe was King Tut's Grandmother.

I loved this series. Watched it a few years back

I was blessed to see the King Tut and ancient Egyptian exhibit at the Met in NYC and also the Tut Emersion in NYC. I have great pics of the emersion of Tut and his family tree. I stood next to it and I actually looked like I belonged in the family tree.

King tut was very very special, his energy and being was highly loved by all his presence could heal

This is old! At some point early on Zahi took over the original findings of these archaeologicals - Zahi LOVED Akhenaten! He said: "I LOVE this man! He is my hero! He believes in one God!" Disregarding the evidence how Akhenaten terrorized his subjects. Part of the original documentary is missing -

There is a bit about carvings in the blocks of Armarna show Akhenaten's guards hidden around corners listening to the people. They are holding their clubs high ready to beat them if the say anything negative about Akhenaten. This was carved into the walls for the subjects to read so they'd be kept terrified of making the Pharaoh angry. Also, depictions of - Never before seen in Ancient Egypt of anyone before Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and their family had to crouch on the ground putting their lips in the dirt before them.

No one was allowed to pray or invoke Aten but Akhenaten and his family. Zahi and many Egyptologists, say he believed in one god - removing pantheism - He didn't! Akhenaten removed the family of gods which Aten or Atum, gave birth to. The hogs and goddesses of Ancient Egypt were all children of the Aten. Akhenaten removed them, throwing them away - AND replacing them with himself, Nefertiti, and his family. They were gods and goddesses on earth.

It was horrible what he did.

Ankanaton didn't left out of free will he got exiled. Nice to see this old footage and nice to see if anything changed about the narrative in these years.

Interesting theories. More investigation is needed. Never assume, with ancient civilizations, that all the answers have been discovered.

[garryderish]

Charles dance, is a amazing talent, as a narrator he is in unparalleled

I wonder if the problem of sand and the encroaching desert had anything to do with moving the sites and the layers of a mastaba. A mastaba could probably be hidden by the desert sands more easily while a larger structure had a better chance of remaining visible for centuries.

Joanne Fletcher (red haired woman) isn't in it. Just so you know. You're welcome.

[brandonstojanovic]

Is that Tywin Lannister doing the voice over

[ivicastojanovic]

the best part of the video is the one where the archaeologist explains how the Egyptians shaped the rock with a slightly harder stone and thus made a statue of the pharaoh, Miserable

[suspirodelmoro]

I wish Odyssey would focus on Egyptologists and archaeologists who are Egyptian, not folks from the same countries who robbed and looted the graves of the pharaohs.

[scottyfox]

Sounds like Tywin Lannister to me.🏹⚔️🧟‍♀️🧙‍♂️

[mariahammarstrom]

I thought everyone knew that Kiya was Tut´s mother, not Nefertiti.

[peggylindenthaler]

Tutankhamun died very young, or murdered, and he didn't have time to accrue enough possessions for his tomb. either that, or he WAS murdered, and all his possessions were stolen, and perhaps many items were donated by the faithful that loved him.
