It is the government that curtails the exploration by limiting the amount and when it can be done. They also require that the excavation be done by at least some Egyptians. Not only were many of the tombs raised shortly after the interment, they continued through the early 1920"s when Howard Carter makes the discovery of Tutankhaman and all sorts of explorers flocked to the area. As in the grave robbers, they could care a fig about these precious artifacts. Their only interest was in the monetary value of the gold, for instance. There was also looting during the Howard Cartier dig. By this time, the looters realized the value of the items the found was over and beyond their precious metals and jewels. The reason so many mummies have not been found in tact, was that the early grave robbers didn't see any value in the mummies, they just rifled through the sarcophagus without giving a thought to the historical value. Even though the Egyptians generally identified the sarcophagus by inscribed their name and a biography of the person, but the grave robbers had no interest in the identity of the mummy. Bones were scattered around. Some were put in another's coffin. Modern DNA capabilities have been used recently to put names to some of the "unknowns." But unfortunately, the Egyptian government has and continues to be unwelcoming to those who have come to steal "their" country's treasures.

I have a love-hate relationship with this kind of things, The tombs were not meant to be opened nor touched ever again after they buried Mr Tut, or any of them, important characters. I believe nobody wants to have their tombs open, have their things being taken away and being disturbed while dead. We can see clearly that they tried to build walls and more wall for (stealers or this kind of people who wanted to take the pharaohs out of their tombs) to get tired or distracted and leave the mummies where they were and just go away. But they kept digging until they took everything out. And it kinda makes me mad. BUT on the other side, I enjoy learning all these details like, male pharaohs tombs have a left turn and females pharaohs tombs have a right turns, etc. That's my humble point of view... :)

All you have to do is study Egyptology long enough to find out they WANTED to be remembered. Its kind of like with Hispanic people (Mexico as well as Central and South America) and their Ofrenda tradition. They just use photos rather than a Cartouche. To keep the name going and the memory of the person eternal you have to know that person's name and speak it. You can't do that if they stay hidden and buried from the world. And like the removal of a photograph from the Ofrenda, the spirit is no longer eternal. They have a time limit (basically when anyone who knew them personally is gone as well).

In college one of my professors said that there was no need for a second eye: The piece, he said, was made as a model for sculptors and others who would make copies of the image of Nefertiti. They wouldn't have been allowed to see her in person, but were allowed to look at the sample. There would have been no need to spend the money and time on a second eye, when the original carving was not intended to be displayed, but only to be used as a model for others.

What's funny is everyone looks at the color plates of the bust that are only twenty years old or so but not the older black and white plates from just after it was found and taken to Berlin. In the older plates, the left eye socket looks damaged, almost as if the eye was gorged out by someone trying to keep the eye and bust intact. This to me says that the eye in the bust might be a replacement from when the bust was originally made with the original eyes appropriated by someone. Also, the bust most likely was made during Nefertiti's lifetime: after her death, at least two pharoah's made a practice of obliterating the names and images of the Heretic King and his blasphemous Queen.

Let me explain something to all of you about Ancient Egypt : The Biggest Pyramid was built in about 20 years and it's built of 2 million stones, some of them are 60 tons of weight and the smallest are 2 tones. With simple calculation we get this result: 2000000/20= 100000 stones per year 100000/365= 273.9 stones per day 273.9/24= 11.4 stones per hour That means that in order to achieve such a Pyramid we need to work 24 hours a day non stop, using thousands of manpower, special construction devices and cranes, working under the very hot weather of Egyptian Desert, moving huge stones out of hundreds of miles away & bring it to the construction site and the most important is the organisation of the work & the brilliant mathematicians who should calculate each stone where to put & how to put, don't forget that the top hight of the Pyramid is 146.7 meters above the ground and the ground should resist the huge weight & pressure of the Pyramid's stones all together, so who are those people who could achieve such an incredible work 5000 years ago!? 💪🧠

@@NeptunesLagoon A scientific fact is that the first humans were blacks in Africa specifically in Kenya or so, before spreading through the African continent. The different races were born due to evolution of the blacks who migrated to other parts of the world. So the human race can be traced back to the black man and woman. Mind you, if current Egyptians are middle Eastern and European , then you are not descendants of Ancient Egyptians because invasions and interactions of Ancient Egyptians with Middle East and Europeans started many centuries after upper and lower Egypt was united into one Egypt by the first Pharaoh, Nemes. The most common statements by current Egyptians though are, Egyptians are uniquely Egyptians, they are not blacks or white. Not African or Middle Eastern or European. It is also claimed that their admixture is just a bit of Middle Eastern and European and had insignificant changes to their DNA and features. However, when technology is used to recreate the looks of some Pharoahs and Queens, their features are rather similar to Africans in Horn of Africa like Somalia, Sudan, etc than modern day Egyptians. What exactly is the origin story of Ancient Egyptians then? How did they come to be ? Can they be traced back to the first humans (blacks) of Africa like all human races.? Were they part of the blacks who migrated from Kenya and settled in Egypt and later evolved to white and olived skinned looking ones? Were the black Egyptians bred out? did they migrate back into Sub Sahara Africa especially countries in the horn of Africa? Or did you come from the Middle East and Europe ? Like it or not, there are different school of thoughts and questions with regards to who Ancient Egyptians really were and looked like and until the answers add up, History, Science and technology will bring more controversies.

The point is no one is sure whose tomb Tut was actually interred in. Part of an unused tomb for a female of unknown origin? A never finished tomb for a noble? We don't know who this tomb was intended for--or even if it was a tomb originally. It is almost certain that Ay, Tut's successor, appropriated Tut's unfinished tomb for his own use. One thing that is certain is that Tut died so suddenly nothing was ready for his tomb so most of what was packed into his final resting place (and probably at least one of his coffins) belonged to someone else. A lot of the grave goods look like they were used in the palace, furniture that was made for the everyday use of his ancestors.

There is supposed to be a hidden door in one of the walls of his burial chamber that actually leads to the rest of the tomb complex, which was apparently made for His Mother, Nefertiti & no one has ever been given permission to even drill a tiny hole in the wall for one of those tiny cameras to be poked through...

No, I don't think this is why Tut's tomb was so stuffed with all those different objects and hastily sealed. I say that they unloaded the tombs of the treasures over near Armana and stuck them all in with King Tut. They abandoned Armana including the tombs.

Why were all the stories cut short and mashed up together with no link to the next story? Did anyone else notice that the stories weren't consistent with one another and only jumped from one subject to the next? I'm disappointed, I wanted to see the rest of the last subject but sadly it ended up just being a teaser trailer.

In 2020 I would say they handle bodies and gravesites with much more respect than a 100 years ago. But when it comes to a tomb such as Tuts I personally believe it's a wonderful thing that his remains are in the hands of a museum and reason being it was only a matter of time before his gravegooods were found like every other pharaoh in the valley and had they been found by tomb raiders all would be lost, gold melted down and body desecrated. At least this way they're in a safe place and preserved at least for the foreseeable future.

@Jack Stefan well there is one archaeologist, that has the deciding power over everything: Zahi Hawass. Nothing goes around him. He is in close ties with the government and he denies most research coming from places he doesn't have control over. So what we know is what he wants to be out there, simple as that. There have been a lot of initiatives to dig next to the sphynx because everything points that there is a huge chamber there. Also the hole on the head of the sphynx was covered up with a metal hatch later on, and the hole next to the sphynx too. It has been scaffolded away. He denied research, he research it himself with his team said they found nothing, yet he doesn't let any other researcher near it. He is a crook.
