I could have actually enjoyed this , but so often there are those screwed up producers that think they must slam a lot of load noise & sounds & music over top of the narrator . You can barely hear the narrator & the whole effect is displeasure .

This is lovely! Thank you for such a great doc, with a very good narrator. It's so clear that he loves his subject and knows so much about it. Excellent! A pleasure to watch, and thank you for not using flashy quick editing to seem cool. This is the way I love looking at antiquities, with slow pans and long shots of everything! Thank you !

Its astonishing to see in person. Incredible art and grandeur.

Wow! I learned so much here about Egypt more than any documentary ever. Thank you, and such beautiful presentation.

Beautiful to see it again, great job, thank you! ❤️

One note: The audio really needs to be much louder. When commercials interrupt the video, they are much, much louder than the documentary. And when I play the doc on my tv, I have to turn the volume up about 7 times the normal levels.

Finally! A new documentary on the subject of Ancient Egypt. My favorite😁😁

I was there, a beautiful exposition. I saw so many granite statues of Sekhmet only in the temple of Mut in Luxor! 💗

Perhaps these should be returned to Egypt and the other countries they came from.

I look at the WONDERFUL things, artwork from THOUSANDS of years ago and it never ceases to amaze me the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL works of art that humans turned out...and yet, here we are today murdering each other off like a bunch of crazed animals. What is wrong with "humans"? Of course, God did give us "Free Will"...and you'd think we would use it for keeping ourselves ALIVE, instead of ever inventing newer, deadlier, more disgusting and horrific ways of bringing about death.... It would help a lot for certain countries still embracing a sick, barbaric mindset to step fully into THIS century, leaving the futility of ignorance and war behind once and for all. Sorry, my soapbox was gathering dust, so I just had to dust it off for a moment or two and toss a few words into the fray of today's sadness. Beauty from the PAST into the glaring, snarling horrors of humanity TODAY...so damned sad.

Fascinating topic but the sound mix makes it impossible for me to watch. The music and "sounds" twice to three times louder than the narrator. Turn it up to hear what is being said, blasted out of chair by some "music?".

Why didn’t you guys record anything about the Assyrian rooms? Weird how there’s little to no info on these rooms online. Wish I woulda known before I visited so I could video and photo the entire exhibit. Very strange rooms depicting ancient gods of Mesopotamia that relate to so called “anunnaki”. Makes you think about how much more there is down below in the archives that they are hiding

Audio is so low can't hear it

The mummy of the singer I found interesting to say the least. If only we could hear her songs...

Soft-spoken delicate quiet speakers should not be narrators if you're going to play loud music instead of background music. Very imbalanced audio and the visuals were not worth trying to put up with the bad audio.

Stone work and recordings makes me realize how invisible our present day civilizations on Earth will become if we were to become extinct or almost extinct. New human civilizations will never be able to understand the way we lived and will eventually come to the conclusion most of our way of life will never be understood making up theories and assumptions on the very little left of our trace. Everything made is disposable including our buildings. Nothing compares to boulder and rock massive constructions to everyday necessary objects they used and even written recordings left embedded on rocks.

Give the history back to the people it belongs with

The music is too loud against the commentary. The filming is frustrating the way it keeps going in and out of focus and rarely shows the object in its entirety. The chronology, context and relevance of objects is insufficiently explained and just jumps from one thing to another without explanation of its exact origin, when found or why it is in the Vatican. In conclusion this video is too superficial and neither properly educates or describes what it should.

It actually read Aleksendres

The Pope “Thou shall not steal”. Seems a wee bit hypocritical to put ancient artifacts on display that CLEARLY belong to another nation. However, when you have a person like Zahi Hawass heading the Minister of State for Antiquities for so long with a reputation that’s less than impeccable…it’s probably best those artifacts stay at the Vatican.

Narrator confuses "the Virgin Mary's Immaculate Conception" with her "becoming pregnant with the Son of God." The former actually refers to Mary being conceived in her mother's womb, without stain of Original Sin. The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated on December 8th. The Feast of the Nativity of Mary (ie her birthday) follows nine months later (the length of a human gestation) on September 8th. The Catholic Church commemorates the Incarnation of the Son of God in Mary's womb as "the Annunciation" (because of the Angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that the Holy Spirit will overshadow her and she shall conceive a Son). The Feast of the Annunciation is celebrated on March 25th, nine months before Christmas Day. That's as far a I got in the video; maybe the narrator knows more about ancient Egyptian stuff than about Christianity but wanted to include some jargon that sounded Catholic.
