The devs did such a good job at making an immersive world that doesn't feel like a digital museum but is at the same time. If anything, it made many people think about history a lot more than they did before.

An example - a religious text like Bible written by people who knew next to nothing about the universe and its laws tries to tell us that the world was created in seven days. Today, we know that it is false, because we have methods to date the age of materials (carbon decay), and we have archeological findings documenting the history of the evolution of the species and the evolution of human societies. You can construct a computer or a space ship, but you can never pray out or conjure up a space ship or a computer precisely because science is based on factual knowledge of the world and the laws that govern it, while religion is based on fantasies, delusions and wishful thinking.

​@@MostafaGamalwhiteys can't handle the truth. They wanna believe that the ancient egyptians were anglos so bad, lol

I like the pop culture shout outs, The Mummy was def one of my favorite movies and its awesome that Assassin's Creed is so focused on accurate historic details.

This was such a good video with an even better guest! Great job to the team that coordinated this and Professor Bestock herself.

This was incredible to watch. Thank you.

This is def one of the more hard hitting Tech Supports. I love this lady!

She's so knowledgeable and charming! Loved her explanations! I'm so glad she debunked so many common misconceptions ("Did you know we can't recreate the Pyramids with modern technology?" or "Why do the Pyramids of Egypt match those in Mexico?"). I love this series!

The best thing about this is how much she enjoys her craft and how this shows to those who may be potential researchers. The single best way to open up science as something accessible and awesome.

please more videos on ancient civilizations. any of them. i could watch videos like this for hours

Love hearing experts share their knowledge

One of the best guests I've seen on WIRED in a long time! Please bring her back some day, really enjoyed this!

I could easily watch a few more hours of her explaining Ancient Egypt. Super interesting!

This Professor has produced a fantastic video, with multiple fascinating and exciting remarks about ancient Egypt. Awesome! 😊

A 20-minute video about ancient Egypt? SIGN ME IN!

"Didn't ancient Egyptians know how to paint people face-on?" They did, and did use face-on depictions for a very few usages. The goddess Qetesh was commonly depicted face-on, for example. But as I understand it the reason the vast majority of depictions are a mix of side- and face-on elements is as Professor Bestock explained.

I loved this! Her passion was evident and she was interesting to listen to! I’d love a part 2!!!

What a great content! SO interesting! Keep doing this with many other ancients history!

Love this series but this video was particularly good and this lady is very captivating!

I've always been fascinated by Egypt. I absolutely loved this.

your commitment to quality content never goes unnoticed! ️

That was a really good video. Thanks for making and sharing it!
