We do, we really do. As for her actual comment. Pyramids were build by an artisan class specialized in building them supported by seasonal workers. Given this was a religious duty slaves were at best sparingly used. It would be like forcing a servant to pray for you by proxy, it just doesn't work that way. We have payment records of the workers. We know they had their own healthcare system and with the time it took to build the monuments, their own towns at the edge. Here their families lived with the same doctors. When they died they were buried with great honor but with limited funds. They were probably well respected. As for how they did it, we don't know. Not because we have no idea but because we don't know which of the myriad methods they specifically used. Was it impressive? Certainly. Was it impossible? Not remotely. We've always been smart and it was just a lot of back breaking hard work. Water and levers are your friend.

6:30 Fun fact, Brendon Frasier was choked out and some stories say he was dead for 14 seconds from filming this scene, due to no protective gear. All the damage done to his body from this trilogy injured him to the point where he reconsidered his acting career. The wide shot was fully coordinated with stunt personnel, but the close ups were really him being strangled by the noose.

This is suuuch a comfort movie for me! When i was little i wanted to be an archeologist so bad. This movie and the sequel Mummy Returns (NOT THE THIRD ONE 😖) are sooo good. Solid action/adventure movies. And the entire cast is so attractive. 😩

The Sixth Sense is going to be another, "Oh, I've heard that phrase before!" movie. All these movies you are watching. How does it feel now to get so many of the references that pop up in other shows and movies? And Death becomes Her is right up your alley in terms of humor. And a little non-spoilerish trivia for the movie, Ingrid Bergman who was the love interest in Casablanca, her daughter is in Death becomes Her. And she looks EXACTLY like her except for darker hair. See if you can spot her.

Brendan Fraser in Blast From The Past is my absolute FAVORITE

Don’t stick your hand in unknown holes….one of my favorite lines EVERRRR!! 😂

Would love to see you do a reaction to the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn” that could fit into your Halloween-themed month plus has the added bonus of being a Quentin Tarrentino film, which he also acts in alongside George Clooney. I won’t say anymore about the film as it’s definitely one to watch with no spoilers and without knowing any more about it or even seeing the poster.

Sure, there are horror elements in this, but it's more of an action flick. The original with Boris Karloff is a horror flick.

Fun Fact: Beni (actor Kevin J. O'Connor) was also Sammy aka 'Bartender Man' in Steel Magnolias ☺

Your pre-movie prediction was spot on. The library in my hometown had some ladders. In America you might be able to get a camel for around $9000 (If you’re okay with a pre-owned camel), but if you want a champion racing camel (and who doesn’t) expect to pay millions.

"People are digging where they shouldn't be digging." You pretty much summed up the movie. Lol!

Please say you're going to watch the rest of the series. Now that you've watched the first one, you have to watch the others. " Did ya pack the cat?" Funniest line.

I think my favorite subtle detail in this movie is the museum curator guy - if you rewatch the movie (already knowing his associations) and pay attention, he very clearly is burning the map in exactly the right place just off-camera while they're not watching, then once the important part is gone, "Oh no, look what just happened, oops!"

The actor who plays Benny was also bartender man in Steel Magnolias

The "Of course you don't let him go!" part at the hanging always has me rolling. The way the guy asked the question in Arabic is so hilarious. Like he's not sure if a last request is legally binding. 🤣

You don't show it in this video, but I always loved the expression that Evie and Jonathan both have after the prison warden says that he's coming with them. They are very convincing as brother and sister.

When you said “Don’t stick your hand in unknown holes,” I immediately thought of Temple of Doom. LOL!

I miss Stephen Sommers. It was pretty rare to have a writer/director at the helm of your tentpole film. Because he had a clear vision of his project from the start, he was always able to give way more than his budget would allow. And I don't care if the CGI was not perfect. Also, Sommers' women are always beautiful, classy, smart and tough. His love of 30s/40s cinema also shines in that aspect.

Thanks for the Mummy movies Mr. Fraser. It's always a pleasure watching these films, or reactions of them.

My favorite Brendon Fraser movie is Blast from the Past. He usually does comedies but I think one of his most underrated films was School Ties which was not a comedy at all.

"Are library ladders real?" As someone who dang near grew up in a library and has a crippling fear of heights, *yes.* Though the ones I encountered were mounted on rollers at the tops of the shelves.

"The Mummy" (1999) is much more action/ comedy than horror--that's certainly true. I went to the theater expecting to see a horror movie in 1999 when I first saw "The Mummy," and the fact that my expectations were so confounded really put me off on this film for a long time. I had to rediscover it many years later before coming to fully appreciate it for what it is, as I do now.

It's a *monster* movie, not a *horror* movie. There's actually not that much crossover between the two genres, and that does tend to throw off some horror fans that expect horror in monster movies. Monster movies are usually just action movies featuring large, deadly creatures/groups of creatures, or dramas centered around an abomination. There's generally very little psychological terror involved. Monster movies just get lumped into the horror genre the way sci-fi and fantasy - two separate and unrelated genres - always are.

Brendon is amazing in Blast From The Past!
