Fascinating. I love this sort of thing.

2:11 That someone though to give the goodest boy a blanket is so touching. You can still see the wrinkles in the fabric where the hand of the person who last touched it thousands of years ago pulled it tight around the neck.

Those Chests look like they were made in the early 1900s, not 3 thousand years ago. Amazing.

Totally agree, Craftmanship in antiquity was far more advanced than we would think …

Oh wow! So precious ♥️

Having recently seen the Rameses The Great exhibit, and what little was actually left behind by grave robbers, l'm glad that archeologists and historians beat the thieves to King Tut's tomb.

You raise an excellent point there. I was conflicted in making this video as my initial thought is that everything should be left alone. But, as you say, they still exist for all to see, whereas grave robbers who have decimated many tombs would have destroyed them from their original state forever. Many viewers have commented their dissaproval at this excavation, and others, but this is the first reasonable counter argument I have seen. Thank you for sharing !

thanks for showing precious historical pictures

If you have fame and fortune you will be called an excavator. If you’re poor and nobody knows you, you’re a grave robber!😂

They’re all grave robbers imo. I think it’s awful the way they dig up and steal from the dead. It’s just disgusting.

I tend to agree with you both. While making this video I certainly had feelings of distaste at the entire thing. But, these photos exist and we can learn something from them. That does not change my personal opinion that they should never have been uncovered.

@@penelopelopez8296 who gives a shit, everyone should be able to view this history, I mean obviously we should'nt smash walls and damage things, but if you are excavating it carefully and then putting it into proper care into a museum then I see nothing wrong with it, if we treated every archeological discovery as stealing we would never get anywhere

i love anything Egyptian, this was just awesome, thanking you

This wasn’t supposed to be his tomb. He died suddenly from wounds when his Chariot turned over and was given a tomb meant for a older high ranking official that was almost finished. I haven’t been there but I have studied Egypt’s history.

Definitely appearance over comfort during this era.

There is a word for these kind of actions: GRAVE ROBBERS. What do you expect to find in a burial site? Desecrating graves to find untold fortunes in the name of 'science' is still obscene.

Now that new forms of radar has exposed pyramids in Central America, I am hoping to see what lies beneath the sands in Egypt.

Anywhere else in the world ground water would have rotted the majority of treasure

They should have left it alone. Let the child Rest In Peace.

I get people say that these were grave robbers and thieves but maybe this being found in the 19th century was the afterlife it was originally left for ? Was it better for civilisation that this was found for us to see ?

Interesting take and quite plausible. I was against these excavations, until further study. In truth, all of these tombs would have eventually been found and raided by professional thieves. Many specialize in this type of find and they melt down and destroy countless works of art (They were already finding and looting them for decades). In short, I’d rather them be found by “authorities” representatives and end up in a museum … than being looted, melted down and lost to history forever. Leaving them alone was never an option.

I can't feel anything else then disgust and sadness, seeing these graverobbers destroy all this beautiful sacred stuff. I can't imagine how you can feel worthy of doing that when you witness all this sacred beauty. Humans are disgusting

My apologies, my wording should’ve been better. “Up to the gold mask on the mummy”. The three nesting sarcophagi are shown here. The Gold Mask is sitting on the mummy. I could not find either a non colorized or colorized version of the complete exposed mummy from 1925. There are many you can find of the detailed mummy on show in a museum. But they are modern photos and that was not the purpose of this video. Wanted to restrict to on-site 1922-25 historical photos. Thank you for your feedback though.

As opposed to the previous thieves without coats … lol. I was conflicted making this video as I think this should all be left alone. But, then it was rightly pointed out to me that these tombs have been robbed and looted countless times over the centuries… If Carter and his team hadn’t done it … someone else would have. Human nature I’m afraid. Where there’s treasure … there’s thieves…. Sometimes in coats !
