Ancient Egypt Alive
Канада
Добавлен 4 ноя 2010
Welcome to Ancient Egypt Alive, history lovers: we are a Canadian organization devoted to raising interest, knowledge, and excitement around the study and preservation of ancient Egyptian history and culture. Here are some videos we have made -and ones we like! (We created Conversations with Egyptologists - the first interview series of its kind)
Pyramids in Rome? Gaius Cestius Pyramid Revealed
Ancient Egypt in Rome part 3. The Romans were total Egyptophiles. Here is the pyramid of Gaius Cestius built in 12 BCE - in Rome, not Egypt. The Aurelian wall dating to a few hundred years later was built right around it. Back in the early 1800s, the romantic poets flocked here to admire it and the non-Catholic and the fields of wildflowers- of which they wrote poetically! Watch the video to learn about Gaius Cestius and his pyramid.

Piazza della sopra Minerva Obelisk
Просмотров 115Месяц назад
Egypt in Rome part four: the obelisk of Apries in the Piazza della Minerva. This wonderful pink granite obelisk was discovered during the 17th century buried in the nearby ruins of an ancient Roman Temple to Isis and Serapis! The Romans sure did love their Egyptian antiquities - and the Egyptian gods too! This is the only obelisk i know on the back of a pachyderm! #ancientegyptalive #egyptinrom...

Просмотров 494Месяц назад
He is one of the greatest archaeologists and scholars to work in Egypt over the last century. Barry Kemp, who recently passed on May 15, 2024, sent us this wonderful video about COVID to share on the archaeological work that he continued to lead at the Great Aten Temple. We was a great archaeologist and someone we loved dearly as a friend. #BarryKemp #Amarna #GreatAtenTemple
Barry Kemp speaks about Amarna - from 2010
Просмотров 208Месяц назад
In August 2010 in the heat of Cairo, Barry Kemp agreed to an interview with me - an Egyptophile but not yet an Egyptologist. He met me in Tahrir square and we filmed with a simple Sony camera in his office. This little interview (one of the few captured with this great man) in its small way inspired me on my path to future studies. He is indeed a scholar, a great archaeologist and a generous me...

Are Jordan and Egypt Safe? Our travelers say yes - from Mount Nebo!
Просмотров 666 месяцев назад
We just returned from an amazing Egypt and Jordan trip. Here our travelers speak about how they felt traveling during these uncertain times as we rested on historic Mount Nebo overlooking the promised land (where it is said Moses died) (I did mean in the video to say where he died - not where he was born - which may have been in Egypt :-)
Inside the burial chamber of the Bent Pyramid
Просмотров 1686 месяцев назад
A Not-to-be-missed, off-the-beaten-path experience is to come to Dashur, west of Cairo and visit the Bent and Red pyramids of King Snefru. It is a challenging climb - but our travellers - all of a certain age - managed it masterfully - and enjoyed the spookiness of the burial chamber. This pyramid pre-dates the Great Pyramid by 25-50 years (built by Khufu's dad!)
KV9: A quick view of the spendid tomb of Ramses V-VI
Просмотров 6426 месяцев назад
Our recent tour visited the beautiful tomb of Ramses V-VI in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt. An extra ticket required but so worth it for the gorgeous reliefs - including a splendid ceiling depicting books of the Day and Night - with Sky goddess Nut swallowing the sun and giving birth to the new day!

Many of them had been hesitant to come on our Pyramids temples alive tour. Still a couple more spots for this coming Feb - and possibly for November 2024. L...

Greek Temples in Egypt: The Ptolemies and their "Houses of Gods"
Просмотров 35510 месяцев назад
After the arrival of Alexander the Great in 332 BCE, Egypt underwent another exciting transformation - which survives to us today in great Temples. For 300 years, the Great Ptolemaic kings kickstarted a building program that included erecting or reconstructing many great houses of the gods: Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae and Denderah to name but a few. These divine temples followed Egyptian religious p...

Is your background music Egyptian or from India???
Seems like these sculptures are assembled together a bit like curios, but out of context to one another, though they represent cultures hundreds of years apart....am I wrong.
Interesting
Egypt y'all can have ugly Cleopatra let's be clear Ancient Egypt was pure African people not Egyptian and Mediterranean dark 🌑 skin bs 💯 true
Mr Hawass is a lier and fraud 🤥 he's been lie'ing and white washing Egypt for many years he's a clown 🤡 he's done 👍 finish the whole world 🌎 knows it 💯 true facts 💯 facts truth
The lighting on these sculptures is truly unfortunate. This is not a Las Vegas production.
The photo clicking is incredibly annoying, why not a smooth transition from one topic to another, and the yellow flashes 🫣
What’s with the Indian background music?
that is the. music they use in the museum
Would be a interesting video but for the poor sound quality 😊
yes, I did have an issue with audio. My mic stopped working properly after I entered. So I did my best with ensuring there were subtitles. Certainly, the video could’ve been better with better audio a fair comment
I would recommend people avoid Egypt. It’s corrupt and a nightmare for a foriegner, seriously - some very sinister things have happened to friends. From corrupt police officers, to blackmail, to theft… to physical harrassment. I love Ancient Egypt but this ugly museum and it’s repressive and corrupt society are not worth taking a risk on.
having been to Egypt close to 20 times now - And every year since 2010 - I heartily dis agree with you. It is a wonderful country with welcoming people and going through a very exciting Renaissance right now. The museum is going to be fantastic Once fully open!
Nice! I am coming in November and I hope that it is open by then.
Should be fully open now...still is not.
You can hear the excitement in his voice!
Thank you Laura and Ancient Egypt Alive! You’ve managed to capture on camera for future generations the gentle voice and humble demeanour of this great scholar and kind man!
This is so very moving-thank you Laura for sharing
Indian music ? Come on
The music is very distracting. It is not Egyptian and detracts from what you’re saying. Please remove
its 10 years they are about to open LOL
1:52 Really? I've played Halo 2 and I've never seen that statue anywhere in the Cairo Station levels. Was it an easter egg maybe?
It sure did. I am not a gamer so I cannot speak for Halo too - but just google it. Here is one link: english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/50/1207/365917/AlAhram-Weekly/Heritage/Ramses-the-Great-welcomes-visitors-.aspx
Looks amazing!
Thank you for showing some parts of the new GEM. Also I'm so amazed at your knowledge. Hope I meet you one day when I visit Egypt. Probably in the Spring 2025
thanks so much Anne. Hopefully you may go with us in Spring 2025! Everyone should see Egypt - especially now!
Anything to do with Ancient Egypt at Egypt's Museums are naturally suspect because the time line they use does not reflect the true timeline of history. Remember Ancient Egyptian contributed the pyramids and associated structures to an older people who had left them as a legacy of their own civilization.
Interesting comment Ian... Are you questioning the dates museums use in their displays? Yes, it is true that especially in the old Kingdom timelines may be out as much as 100- 150 years. 50 years in the New Kingdom. Some scholars reference low and high chronologies for dating. Still there is no disputing that the legacy of Ancient Egypt is magnificent when it comes to art, architecture, great works - even writings!
AFTER technology has advanced so much, nothing REALLY interesting has been located in Egypt
good ....
The kid WAS NOT BLACK! He had skin that looked like a tan!
All depends on what material the statue was carved from. If you want, or need, to know what colour skin he had maybe DNA could settle your mind.
Pretty sure you top pick was filmed and is streaming on Hulu. Thanks cutie
Love it😊
The best yet : ohh! I can se a door from the outside! After thinking for 320 years maybe we can drill a hole to take a look inside the void of the pyramid? 😵💫😵💫😵💫😑😑 omg! Iddiots!
Lol, she was fair skinned.
What a wonderful update! I love hearing about what's going on in Egypt. Can't wait to go back with you on another time. You always share the most interesting insights and stories.
Our whole family love tuning into Ancient Egypt Alive to listen to Laura -thank you for sharing your brilliance in this way!
thanks so much Kyla!, Alee, Alex and Eliot!
😮 Totally amazing discoveries
Thanks David!
ELES DEIXARÃO UMA HISTÓRIA EXTRAORDINÁRIA ....
ISSO É MESMO MUITO EXTRAORDINÁRIO ......
Looks like a fun group !
fascinating but nothing compared to ancient Indian temples
So no information beyond the obvious?
what'd you expect?
Weather must be nice right now!
It is indeed!
Went in there in 2008 ( I think, as I lost track of all the Ramses). Egypt is such an amazing place. I'll probably never have the money to go back, but I'm so glad I got to see it at least once.
If you can find the money to return - do it! Great you got there at least once!
Cool guy🤠
Is this Jordon? I fed some apples to camels in Wadi Rum and they absolutely loved it.
Pure black people Egyptian kemet
Totally Beautiful

A great talk about the legacies of some ancient Egyptians. Laura is very a very engaging speaker - I've had her at a private event and everyone was so uplifted and energized!
thanks so much Samantha
Laura Ranieri-Roy is an engaging speaker, indeed raconteur! A truly splendid TedTalk (and I watch many every week)!
so kind of you to say Kyla, appreciate it!
Very interesting Laura!
thank you
Really brings their stories to life!
