Tut and Simon have one thing in common They will be famous. Tut for historical purposes and Simon for having 1,000 channels under his belt, daily uploads for all of them, and ruling all of Earth based off of classic British parliamentary rule where Tories and Whigs constantly fight
Well yes and no. Remember that he was a very distinguished professor but only when he got bopped on the head did he flip into the King Tut persona. Victor Brouno played that part perfectly.
I remember seeing the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition when it came to Seattle in the 1970s... the gold didn't really impress me so much as the toy boat made of wood. Dunno why, but the idea that something wooden could survive that long seemed more amazing than all the gold and other metal items on display.
Most interesting objects in Tutankhamen’s tomb: 1) iron dagger made from a meteorite 2) scarab beetle made of 22 million year old yellow glass (thought to have formed from meteorite impact or some other cosmic event in the desert sand) 3) a box of boomerangs
dafttool I thought his mummified babies were interesting as all get out. Not to mention chariots and 100+ canes. But you’re absolutely correct the dagger & scarab are extremely intriguing. I think the dagger is an inherited object from an extra ancient civilization.
@@EMurph42 Extra ancient civilization?? It may sound impressive but finding metals like iron from meteorites is actually not that difficult. Indeed Earth is bombarded almost constantly by them. Heck, try dig around in your garden after a meteor shower and you may be able to find a meteorite or two 😊. Terry Pratchett had a sword forged when he was knighted using iron he had dug up from a nearby field. And yes; he chugged in some iron from meteorites too.

19:20 His body was actually cut into sections by Carter in order to remove it from the sarcophagus. At the time of mummification he would have been drenched in oils and resins, which solidified into a solid matrix under and around his body. He should have been left alone until the right technology could be used, but they went for hot spatulas, knives and saws.
It's kinda of poetic in a way that Tutankhamun's most important phase in history starts after he died, given how obsessed egyptians were about afterlife. "Death is only the beginning" indeed.
The letter to the Hittites also stated that she did not wish to wed one of her subjects, so she apparently didn't have any living male siblings to marry.
Steel is much older than most people think. The oldest steel object was found in Jordan and dates back to the 18th century BC and the first iron objects even date back to the 5th millenium BC. Only in the late Bronze Age iron became more common, but still far behind bronze, and steel was still very rare and it was probably made by accident.
Thanks so much for continuing to post new videos. It really gives something to look forward to while stuck at home during this crisis. Much appreciated!

Francisco Buenrostro i commend teachers! Thank you for your hard work. I don’t have the patience 🤣🤣🤣 i would yoke some smart ass kid up! From a nurse to a teacher, great job lady 😘
You make the most detailed and most interesting historical videos ive seen, i have learned more from you than i have from any other source. Your videos are extremely captivating and you are educating a entire generation, and for that we thank you.
I went to Egypt earlier this year to tick one off the bucket list. I went to the Egyptian Museum twice over a week. Sadly, I am one of those people who want to photograph everything when I travel. In the King Tut section, there are lots of fantastic things from the outer chamber which I could shoot to my heart's content. However, there is a separate room which has all the really good stuff, and photography is strictly forbidden there and it is enforced. So, both times I went there I just stood in front of the death mask and stared at it until it was burned into my brain. It will never leave me. By a considerable measure, it is the greatest piece of art that I have ever seen or am ever likely to see. Move over Leonardo, your portrait of a minor Tuscan noble's wife pales into insignificance, and I've seen it, too. Move over Michelangelo & your fabulous statues the Pieta & David (I've seen those, too, and they are truly moving).Extraordinary doesn't even begin to describe it. Anyone with the wherewithal to see the death mask MUST do so before they die. Go. You will never regret it.
Considering the circumstances surrounding his death, with his wife writing a letter to their long time enemies, the advisor who had been actually running the show becoming pharaoh, the possible assassination of a Hittite prince who was intended to marry the newly-widowed queen, and the fact that in the letter Ankhesenamun mentions "being afraid" and references the fact that she would "never marry a servant" (which if Ay did marry her later could imply that it was a forced marriage) I still believe the murder theory could be a valid one. I suppose in the end we may never know the truth.
We can't know for sure, no. But modern studies of his mummy show he likely died from malaria or some other infection. And even if he hadn't, he likely wouldn't have lived for very long due to the slew of genetic conditions he appears to have suffered from (generations of sibling and father-daughter marriages will do that to you). It's even very possible these conditions acted as underlying factors for his death; like his leg injury being unable to heal properly resulting in it developing an infection. Personally I doubt he was murdered. He was most likely already a puppet and thus too useful to get rid of. I find it more likely his death left a dangerous power vacuum for his waning dynasty and Ankhesenamun probably wanted to secure its position by forming an alliance with the Hittites.

Around the same time that Howard Carter was excavatingTutankhamun's tomb in Egypt, Leonard Woolley made an amazing series of discoveries in Mesopotamia. The Royal Cemetery of Ur yielded fantastic treasures that enormously expanded our knowledge of the Sumerian civilization. Ancient Egypt has always overshadowed The Fertile Crescent in the popular imagination. Most people know next to nothing about the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians et al. It's a shame really because these ancient peoples had a cultural impact on the western civilization in every way as profound as that of Egypt and Woolley certainly deserves more recognition for his achievements in uncovering their legacy.
Honestly, I wouldnt be surprised by the clubbed foot thing. I know little of the ancient age but I do know the royals usually married siblings. Just like Carlos II of the Spanish Hapsburg line.
why do i love your programs i never did like listening to teachers and professors but i really enjoy listening to you tell all these stories a cracking good show my lad !
I love anything Egyptian and this was an illuminating video describing the events so concisely. I am not sure why so many horror movie involve Egyptians and curses.
Could you do some more on Irish historical figures maybe? Someone like Pádraig mac Piarais, W. B. Yeats, Brian Ború, Constance Markiewicz or Grace O'Malley maybe? Fascinating Biographies, keep up the amazing work!
Great as usual - I had read a theory the tomb had not been further looted in antiquity due to nearby construction activity of another tomb which covered it long enough for the location to be forgotten. Would be curious to hear more on this.
Learned things I hadn’t heard before. I’ve studied this topic in high school and college, and have also seen plenty of videos and documentaries about king tut, so I’m impressed. (Not claiming to be an expert at all) Nice video!
I've always heard the theory that his tomb was created for his sister, as his death was so unexpected they didn't have time to build one for him. His mask is actually that if a woman, so that in itself is a large piece of evidence
There's something unsettling about them preparing your tomb as soon as you take the throne...like you're sitting there on your first day discussing kingdom matters and someone's moving around you with a tape measure getting your coffin size.
Simon I love your videos and learning about the history of the world through its great individuals. Can you please do a video on Dr. Ferdinand Porsche because of how important he was to modern automobiles, along with the fact he created the heaviest running tank in history for the nazi war machine.
Interesting bloke, though note that a lot of what he did was intellectual property theft from his time at Tatra, and his close work with Nazi monsters cannot be denied. Plus "his" way of building a car, namely rear-engined and air-cooled didn't really catch on, even though there have been many such designs.
March 19th 2020. King Tut’s tomb is moved. Same as release date of this video.... Currently in a Corona Virus Pandemic is hitting hard. Coincidence????
Hey Simon i'm not sure if you have cause i've not seen it, but you need to do a episode about P T Barnum. but you have to make it a longer show cause it would be hard to put him in a 20 minute episode. i saw a doc about him the other day and wow did he ever live a life and got around alot for the mid-late 1800's. however i don't agree with alot of what he did exploiting people and animals, but still amazed at everything he did.. Let me know what you think.. Thanks Simon for all your great work and different types of video's.. Cheers
To tell you how famous Tutankhamen & his parents (the brother & sister) Akhenaten & Nefertiti are, my spellcheck already knows how to spell all of their names
Thank you Simon. Frankly, you're my goto person during the day. I hit one of your channels and tend to find a playlist and just let it run for a few hours.
And it survived because he wasn't that big a Pharaoh and his tomb was hurried so was in an unusual place and when a massive rock slide hid it no one bothered to clear it and then it was thankfully forgotten about.
For an alternate interpretation see Steve Martin's "King Tut" from an old SNL skit. Truly a funnier and much more entertaining version of the late Tut. "Don't want no fancy funeral, just one like ol King Tut's"
I've seen the Curiosity Stream special on King Tutankhamun's tomb and it's a full dramatization, almost a miniseries, but also full of information, more on the archeologists and the dig. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I remember a time when I watched the History Channel for this kind of content and RUclips for alien conspiracy theories......
😂 same
The only conspiracy about aliens is the government covering it up.
Now, it's the opposite.
Funny that all the conspiracy theories depict only the US government covering them up. Why would aliens be so interested in the US?

I remember seeing the Treasures of Tutankhamun exhibition when it came to Seattle in the 1970s... the gold didn't really impress me so much as the toy boat made of wood.

Only seen Images etc but it's the kids toys that got me.
I've seen what is in Cairo, and was most impressed by the chariot, an object of ultimate beauty.

You had a good eye.

19:20 His body was actually cut into sections by Carter in order to remove it from the sarcophagus. At the time of mummification he would have been drenched in oils and resins, which solidified into a solid matrix under and around his body. He should have been left alone until the right technology could be used, but they went for hot spatulas, knives and saws.
alucientes Nice!
When I saw the artifacts from the tomb at a museum, they had the sarcophagus but they couldn't bring the mummy due to its condition.
More devastating is thr fact that some mummies will never be seen because some were used as firewood. 😔
