I am left dumb founded every time I see Egyptian structures like is not to mention the intricate detailed carvings through out on all the walls! Keep them coming Brein, thanks.
It almost seems like the hieroglyphics were cement panels that were adhered onto the megalithic blocks. Where it is removed it is so smooth and even, at least from the pictures it seems so.
Not only am I blown away by the columns and walls which were built, but I’m amazed at the acres of absolutely flat and even pavement which serves as the base for these monoliths and courtyards.
What a wonderful looking Tour, Brien. It seems like every inch of the place has a Story to tell, if you think about it in terms of being a Library/University instead of just a Temple you would see all the different sections...
It’s a place of teaching that’s for sure . Stories ,a history of times long gone in stone for eternity to remember . Such elegance and precise placement . Layers of time and knowledge to us it seems magical . Those who created it obviously it was to be in awe to those who viewed its Beauty .
It really looks like they put some sort of plaster or mud on the walls so they could carve in their glyphs. Seeing so much of it flaking off indicates that might be what we are seeing. Would be telling if someone would get some samples of that and have it tested. I know some of the flaking is clearly from high heat but it does appear telling in the craftsmanship there may be some sort of surface compound that was easy to carve into and looking close there is a color shift between the glyphs and the smooth surface stone that shows through.
Hi Brien, you must be recording your voice over the video (with audio) much later in editing, right? For example, at 11:25, you're speaking so loud, the tour guide would be upset, turn around and ask you to be quiet, but I just realized, this audio detail, or I want to ask about this audio detail. Is that what you do? Thanks! I watch often, love your work, and look forward to someday saving up (not anytime soon), and traveling in your groups someday. Thanks!
Brien thank you again for a great video. As I’ve said before, as a physically limited person we get to see these amazing creations through your lens and trained eye. I had never heard of Edfu before. The similarities between Egyptian and Incan societies is an amazing discovery. They had to be either in communication and influence each other or guided by a common entity yet to be confirmed.
Just trying to wrap my head around the amount of work it took to build, pillars look like they were turned on a lathe. No doubt in my mind they had massive machines to cut and turn stone.
dude, the woman lost something at 2:10 edit : i think that holies of holy were used for nuclear acoustic resonance of some sort. there are patents to generate electricity directly from palladium and heavy water dating 2009. to activate the low energy fusion they use binaurals, so there should be two main resonant frequencies in that type of building if they were using binaurals to generate an energy of some sort. the head dresses of the personnages in the stair case are amazing.
Because of the inner chambers leading to that most inner chamber, where you casually said "holy of holies", right before you made that statement, as I was watching, I thought to myself that this complex may have been built by an ancient civilization that worshipped and KNEW God, our creator, to honor Him.
Another great video, thank you. At 7:30, there is what seems to me to be a litter (a class of wheelless vehicle, a type of human-powered transport). The place where someone would sit to be carried is enclosed, and it seems too small for any regularly-sized adult to fit. Thoughts anyone? I'm thinking about the grays that were purportedly found at Giza.
I think the entire planet was at one time run by and from the Antarctic area....I came across exactly the same angle on buildings I have seen under the water as are in this video as well as Mayan and Aztec pyramids. Have a look at some of my videos relating to the Antarctic ( Antarctic Buildings video )and you will see what I mean. Found some flying saucers there as well.....ruclips.net/channel/UCyjVFyD32q4UKcRbOwQA6JQ
Crazy thing, it actually closely matches the dimensions/design of the Ark of the Covenant given in the old testament. A little smaller, but not much. Might have been a common design in early Dynastic days (same time as the Old Testament). When they say "Holy of Holies", it could really just mean "energy source".
Thank you for taking us inside. One thing I noticed was that inside while showing the tops of columns and the ceiling it was blackened, was that mold or soot deposits?
It’s so funny how she says experts but we know no one knows what actually went on in Egypt when this structures were built. We were taught ridiculous nonsense and assumptions based on ignorance and yet it’s still being taught now even though all their theories have been disproven. We appreciate everything you do so thank you very much
I've been a carpenter and a stone mason for many years ...I have absolutely no clue how they would of worked granite and harder stone ....i can't wrap my head around shaping with the tools egyptoloist's claim they used... its just not possible.. it would be the equivalent of cutting a steel beam with a butter knife
Are the pillars/ columns in one piece or stacked pieces ? if one piece that would suggest some kind of giant lathe was used to make them . Is their any clues on the carvings on how they constructed these places ?
Seriously, Brien did us a big favor pointing the camera up. Ceiling structure is often overlooked in travelogues. His whole video gave us brief, intriguing views from perspectives that are often missed.
greetings from north carolina was in egypt in late May and visited this temple among other places...this vkideo just like being there (except for the heat and people trying to sell you stuff)
Strange how the Greeks and Romans who occupied Egypt abandoned their architecture style and build in the Classic Egyptian style? I was at Edfu 3 years ago and was deeply impressed.
Brian if you could answer this i would be very grateful, some parts of the markings on the stones and buildings, columns etc seem to have crumbled of in a way that looks like it’s an outer layer of some type of plaster, my question to you is do you think there is a layer of plaster on some of the pillars or statues ?
This place is amazing. I can't even begin to imagine how long it took to build all this. At 8:10 the tops of the columns look burnt and damaged. I'm wondering how. There's lots of damage all over this place, like someone trying to erase the past.
What do you make of frame 12:51 on the right and left. On the left it looks like a layer of clay that broke off from the original stones? The right a dug out area?
4:50 Is that a child in front of Horus ? 15:58 The Golden Ratio Symbol right side of the ladys shoulder .... Im very impressed, that stuff is even more stunning then the pyramids
The floor thru out didn't seem up to par with the structure. Maybe the finished floor was stolen and repurposed? Like flush with the column's pedestals for instance.
Almost looks like the sun was shining thru that round hole in the ceiling at 8:19. Nice square skylights also. Sure, would like to look at the roof. Quadcopter Time
We were there in October of 2021. What day were you there? We were there on a Monday. I remember that, because it was the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed. Evidently, there was a cruise ship parked nearby, as there was a steady stream of horse drawn carriages, ferrying people to the Temple.
From approximately 9:32-9:35 The rectangle storey board midway up the wall on the right looks like a pictograph story of a battle with ships or missle shaped objects drawn out like a story board midway up the wall. I used to draw stick figure battles thus ay on paper as a kid with a piece of paper set up landscape style with another and another and another taped together end to end with a battle unfolding as you looked left to right. The more I play 9:30-9:35 back and forth that's all I can see on the right as he walks along the wall. Wish u could see this room in person. Even bigger pictogram underneath crazy
The casing stones were supposed to be covered in glyphs...but I'd agree that at least major parts of the temple are dynastic. The columns seem to be made out of drums e.g.
all of the ancient arabic sources claim that the casing stones of the pyramid were covered in hieroglyphics. then they were dismantled after. now whether thats true is totally up for debate
From what I've heard, most of the damage to Egypt was done by Napoleon and his army while visiting. Travel accounts tell of the outer casing of the pyramid being still mostly intact as recently as 300 years back.
Brian is the King of the megalithic!
His videos were the first to get me hooked and i’ve never been able to turn back!
beautiful temple, pearl of Ptolemaic architecture, I was there two years ago! Greetings to everyone from wonderful Egypt❤✌🇪🇬
Thanks for your work, lovely lady! We are grateful for the adventures you share with us and the knowledge of past glory and majesty.
Hello AS 😃
Look forward to your uploads too.
Stay safe.
Just copies of Ancient Egyptian architecture.
Fascinating show. And less than 15 minutes. Good work Brian Forester.
Such an amazing Virtual Tour, thank you so much Brien for taking us with you!
I went there in Aug 1989 and loved it. Like everything there, especially in summer, go in the early morning hours.
Thanks for taking us along with you, much appreciated.
I am left dumb founded every time I see Egyptian structures like is not to mention the intricate detailed carvings through out on all the walls! Keep them coming Brein, thanks.
Check out Praveen Mohan's channel about Ancient India. Some temples put Egypt to shame...
It almost seems like the hieroglyphics were cement panels that were adhered onto the megalithic blocks. Where it is removed it is so smooth and even, at least from the pictures it seems so.
indeed.. hieroglyphs were not chiseled on to the megalithic stone, they were plastered first, then used hieroglyph molds..
just recent repairs...
Genius! Wow! I also read that the sculptures were poured molten rock not chiseled!
@@txjellybean3772 or poured like cement
@@3Dimencia I never heard that before and this the first time I ever saw this "clearly". Is there a good source to learn more about this?
Not only am I blown away by the columns and walls which were built, but I’m amazed at the acres of absolutely flat and even pavement which serves as the base for these monoliths and courtyards.
Everything is massive here, very impressive!
Thanks for another great video!

Brien will makeup something about anything
Thank you sir for showing us all these beautiful monuments
Great work you are doing Brien !!
this corridor @12:36 is fantastic for thematic shots... great content as always Brien. thank you for it.
Hello Brien thank you nice trip to share with us.
Brian that was great calm film!! Keep the good days rolling .
💛
Totally fascinating…amazing place….why its not more known i do not understand…thanks for showing this wonderful place…cheeers
I feel like I was there thanks brien
At 2:06 that lady pulled out her phone and dropped something/This place is astonishing...
Hi Brian thank you
That box in the gated off area looks lot like the one thats turned over on its side that I think is on Elephantine island

It's a clay and limestone mix
Almost looks like an aging movie set…
@@petjobedet4650 this was no movie set but a reality with people passing through these epic pillars at one time
Good observation 👍 he's paying attention. Like inquisitive approach to matters. 👍👍Up for you!

Thank You Brien Much Respect From Tasmania.
That was fantastic . Than you BRIEN
Brien- didn't we see one of these 'granite phone booths' on it's side on Elephantine Island recently?
God Bless,
יוי

You are right ; We were in contact with Australia ; so why not any where else .
Thank you for sharing, Brian!
Seeing this when it was all new would be so cool.
Bro this was top of the line awesome ty.
Clearly the structures were constructed without decor and subsequent finders added the hieroglyphics.
Why exactly is this clear?
Lol 😂
Lovin it. Thank you!
Just trying to wrap my head around the amount of work it took to build, pillars look like they were turned on a lathe. No doubt in my mind they had massive machines to cut and turn stone.
The same as in the ancient temples in India
It was easy they used jackhammers and big cranes to move them.
rope and pulley action those neandrathals had it rough
Wow, Amazing architecture from the past!
Thank you,namaste.🌟
thanks for a view of the ceiling. these places are decorated top to bottom and sometimes underneath
Great videogaphy Brien
Huge respect to the dude wearing the Triforce T-Shirt
Excellent thanks. 😁👌
2:04Just adding to the litter! 😂
Thank you, Brien, this is very interesting. I wish we could decipher the hieroglyphs!
Incredible...I must visit someday
Thanks a lot!!❤️

the head dresses of the personnages in the stair case are amazing.
I saw it too. I watched it 4/5 times, it looks like she deliberately throws it away
Watch again. She takes out her phone and drops it. She is not littering, it was a mistake. Hopefully it wasn't important. @@gwab5834
Wow!!! besutiful💕💕💕
That looks amazing. How can it be rarely visited :)
There so much history there...
👍🤔 I appreciate your efforts.
Your 🇪🇬tours are Awesome Brien
Because of the inner chambers leading to that most inner chamber, where you casually said "holy of holies", right before you made that statement, as I was watching, I thought to myself that this complex may have been built by an ancient civilization that worshipped and KNEW God, our creator, to honor Him.
The massive stone thing in that hot of Holies looks almost identical to the single megalithic piece on elaphantine island.
Id be nervous trying to tour guide with Brien in my group! Thanks!
Another great video, thank you. At 7:30, there is what seems to me to be a litter (a class of wheelless vehicle, a type of human-powered transport). The place where someone would sit to be carried is enclosed, and it seems too small for any regularly-sized adult to fit. Thoughts anyone? I'm thinking about the grays that were purportedly found at Giza.

Please Brian! Next time you visit ancient Egypt, till us a little more about these buildnings. Very interestning..
Thank you for taking us inside. One thing I noticed was that inside while showing the tops of columns and the ceiling it was blackened, was that mold or soot deposits?
Apparently it was due to smoke damage, from an age when the temple was used by locals and fires were lit
I love your films .... and sorry for my bad English !
Went there back in 2007. Was amazing!
It’s so funny how she says experts but we know no one knows what actually went on in Egypt when this structures were built. We were taught ridiculous nonsense and assumptions based on ignorance and yet it’s still being taught now even though all their theories have been disproven. We appreciate everything you do so thank you very much
Thank you.
7:54 Is the soot on the ceiling a result of a massive fire or a result of controlled heating fires and lighting lamps?
8:10 - that looks exactly like soot from fires the dynastic peoples would have had going in these, much older structures
At the end I notice the floor level on the base of the pillars and how the nice floor was removed sometime in the past
Very very good...
I've been a carpenter and a stone mason for many years ...I have absolutely no clue how they would of worked granite and harder stone ....i can't wrap my head around shaping with the tools egyptoloist's claim they used... its just not possible.. it would be the equivalent of cutting a steel beam with a butter knife

♥️❤️♥️
Always great...One question....where are the bathrooms?
Thank you finally a ceiling shot
- One of those 360 degree cameras would be cool.
Seriously, Brien did us a big favor pointing the camera up. Ceiling structure is often overlooked in travelogues. His whole video gave us brief, intriguing views from perspectives that are often missed.
Loved this. When is it not 110degrees for future travel plans?
March
greetings from north carolina was in egypt in late May and visited this temple among other places...this vkideo just like being there (except for the heat and people trying to sell you stuff)
2:05 when the girl grabbed the phone from her pocket, something fell off.
Hope it wasn't her hotel room key; looked like folded paper.
@@marktwain368 true, hope not.
Strange how the Greeks and Romans who occupied Egypt abandoned their architecture style and build in the Classic Egyptian style? I was at Edfu 3 years ago and was deeply impressed.
I dreamed I met you the other night. We talked about the truth of humanity.

Thank you, for your work. Looks to me, like the Egyptian carvings are plaster on top of stone.
Very strange Brian, you show almost everything but not the image on the walls. Is that intentional???
What do you make of frame 12:51 on the right and left. On the left it looks like a layer of clay that broke off from the original stones? The right a dug out area?
Would these reliefs have been painted with bright colors as are some other reliefs and hieroglyphs?
4:50 Is that a child in front of Horus ?
15:58 The Golden Ratio Symbol right side of the ladys shoulder ....
Im very impressed, that stuff is even more stunning then the pyramids
did the truly ancient sites have as much soot on the ceilings as this temple does?
It could be there from the possibility of oil burning lamp stands that were placed throughout the structure, to have light at night.
,,,great.........looks like they had time to clean the garbage here.......!....😯😯.....this is a must see if in the area.
The floor thru out didn't seem up to par with the structure. Maybe the finished floor was stolen and repurposed? Like flush with the column's pedestals for instance.

At 2:07 the person in the salmon pants dropped something from their left pocket
At 7:30 I swear there’s one like that partially buried on its side
From approximately 9:32-9:35

Those layered triangular images wrapping around the bottom of the pillars look very similar to the images seen on Gobekli Tepe t-pillars.
Brien, these are covered with colorful temple texts everywhere (unlike the Great Pyramid which is bare of them). Just saying...
The casing stones were supposed to be covered in glyphs...but I'd agree that at least major parts of the temple are dynastic. The columns seem to be made out of drums e.g.
Pyramid text not invented until end of 5th dynasty. Public area of ptolomey period.
all of the ancient arabic sources claim that the casing stones of the pyramid were covered in hieroglyphics. then they were dismantled after. now whether thats true is totally up for debate

Absolutely false
False information: Dilligent research will afford you the facts 🤝
At 7:25 there's an awful lot of stargate type doorways in the ancient world. lol.
Any ideas when was it built?
It's still cold here in Tennessee
2:08 ups she drops a paper
ooooo 110. Thats a Phoenician Summer day!
height of the doorways adequate for humans of unusual stature?
What is his black thing on sealings And some walls? Fungus,mold?
