So absolutely mesmorizing, transcendent and spiritual. Imagine for a moment that you found this tomb all alone. No one in the world knew a thing. Lanern lit, just staring at the glorious artifacts around you.

What I love about the photos from the antechamber, at a glance, it looks like they could be photos of someone's garage or basement. It's arranged in that sort of organized chaos putting stuff wherever it fits. It gives it a really human touch to it all.

​@@Dar1gaaz This is true, but I don't think the tomb robbers made off with too much. They found a few things here and there that looked rummaged through, but they assume that whoever tried looting the tomb was caught in the act and the break-in area was re-sealed.

Beautiful to see the tomb up close, I am intrigued always!

A history textbook in middle or high school (1980s/90s) had a brief blurb about the floral wreaths found on Tutankhamun. Reading that and realizing they had survived for thousands of years is one of the things that made me want to pursue archaeology as a profession.

And did you?

Great presentation, even though it is obviously a 'retweet' of a 2022 documentary. Thanks. I never realised just how good an artist & photographer Howard Carter was. Those images of the coffins, in their discovered state were breath-taking. Imagine someone, of today's World, having the patience & integrity to hold back, the urge to open the various coffins, whilst the necessary work, of documenting the detail, was carried out.

I’m 35 and I’d cry if I get a chance to go to Tutankhamun tomb

An awe-inspiring moment frozen in time! This video takes us back to that historic instant when Howard Carter uncovered the steps leading into Tutankhamun's tomb. It's a testament to human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of discovery. Witnessing this pivotal moment is nothing short of mesmerizing, offering a glimpse into a world hidden for centuries beneath the sands of Egypt. Truly a treasure trove of history!

THANK YOU DAN SNOW I've enjoyed this documentary on KING TUT....

Absolutely fantastic

Anyone seen all the food they found in his tomb that still held up today onion/pitted dates/whole chickens. They were so advanced

It just amazes me they preserved it so well that it hadn’t turned to complete dust. The chicken was encased in clay I believe in the shape of a rotisserie chicken lol.

I LOVE learning about anything on ancient Egypt! I have so many books about it. I love it so much I had a cat I named Bastet💜 Great episode!

Love this video, very informative! Thank you for sharing! 😍🤗

I so enjoyed this!

Just imagine what else is still to be uncovered 😮 all that Gold and items preserved for us to uncover

nicely presented. fascinating egypt. always been my obsession.

The inner coffin was solid gold? Was it one piece single cast? That would require so much heat in a controlled environment and huge molds.

I'm in Alberta Canada and am so incredibly jealous but grateful to be shown such beauty with such informed care and respect

So amazing

I ❤ the Egypt.

Great episode. The host reminded me of Gordon Ramsay if he was a historian.

Already many years ago, when going into the heat,I was told NEVER go without a headgear. A hat, a baseball cap. Anything.But never bareheaded.

wow

strange Tutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled c. 1332 - 1323 BC, alexander arrived in Egypt 332 BC. According to Greek historical sources, the Egyptians welcomed him. In the same year he was crowned as Pharaoh died 323

They should’ve taking it away . What a horrible thing to do . He should be resting where his family left him

I'M #422=8 ♾️ Imagine if ancient tomb robbers had gotten to this tomb first😳. We are the fortunate. Putting all on display is a Celebration of Tutankhamun! 🪲2024 May.

Good evidence all this stuff was made for Tut's sister, Meritaten. Her stuff was usurped for Tut's tomb. Not fair!

The death mask was actually for a female. It was evident that they weren't expecting the pharaoh's death and had to scramble to finish quickly.

First ❤

I got confused when the woman expert used the word "cashet" instead of "cashe." 🙄

Who gives these people the right to desecrate the dead and raid thier tombs like theives that they are nothing is sacred when someone can make money off it ...makes me sick

Lets not forget that this wasnt just for historic or archeological value purely. It was mainly so the UK could get their hands on invaluable ancient artefacts that could be taken by the government and presented in their museums. Nothing of it will go to Egypt back in the days as British empire was colonizing every continent possible. The proceeds or prizes dont go to indigenous people of Egypt Most of these historians and their documentaries omit to mention any of it or pay respect to the LIVING people of Egypt.

​@@emptythoughts3060you may be right, but it's also very possible that if foreign archeologists didn't find artifacts when they did, Egyptian grave robbers may have taken them to the black market. In fact it's local grave robbers having looted every tomb before King Tut's was found that made the discovery so profound, no intact tomb had been found like that before. King Tut wasn't even that important. Looting by locals is what made the famous pharaoh's tombs lost forever.
