Great to see Dr. Brier still going strong. I have listened to his Great Courses lectures numerous times and still enjoy it. Thanks for having him on Dominic.
Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast!! ❤❤❤It’s such a great resource for students and history lovers alike. I actually came here from Egyptologist Chris Norton channel where I posted a link to this episode in regards to a comment that mentioned carters work as lacking integrity and my comment questioning carters reputation got deleted….. :(( It opened my eyes that people still want to learn only what fits their narrative and don’t want to see the painful truth. However, through that painful truth there’s growth. Thank you for your work on rightful transparency , truth, and knowledge! Much luck to you :)
Thank you, Dominic for inviting Dr. Bob Brier to your podcast.. Icon of the modern Egyptology world. Dominic.. I am very curious to know what happened to the pectoral necklace/amulet found glued to Tut’s mummy? Is it displayed in any museum, it’s in private possession or it's lost forever?!! I’m big fan of your work.. Thank you for an amazing job.. your podcasts are simply awesome!! 😊
Wasn't there an inordinate amount of canes and staffs in that tomb for a "normal teenager"? Also, I remember hearing that there was an unhealed break in his leg that would suggest he had an accident that led to his death.
The interviewer does very well in keeping away from yes/no questions here. While his demeanour is a little hostile at rirst, he's actually very liberal. Bob Brier knows exactly what he's talking about and stands up, scientifically, to any accusations. A great interview, indeed! We need more of this.
No hostility intended, I'm just awkward 😅 But Dr. Brier absolutely knows his stuff and is excellent with the give-and-take of reasoned inquiry / debate 👍
@@ancientegypthist Yeah, I think it’s more the stoic accent which misled me, which is my bad. I think I was just preparing myself for the usual angry, righteous POV we get nowadays. You certainly didn’t do that. Peace x
@@justjames1138 Perfectly understandable! There are too many commentators happy to take that hostile route. THIS channel is devoted to rational, scientific exploration and discovery. I may occasionally disagree or challenge scholars on certain points, but I can always promise to do so without malice, and with a focus on "polite enquiry" in the interests of greater understanding :)
47:35 the interviewer is right and my hero Bob is not. "it would have been a hell of a lot of work" - whilst talking about a structure with 2.5 million hand carved 2 tone blocks, transported 100s of miles and stacked to the sky almost 600 feet. Sorry Bob, he got you.
90% of the blocks are limestone from the quarry right next to the pyramids in Giza, So its only the granite and tura that were transported distances and we know how the tura was done due to the mereher paparus that discusses it.
Dr Brier is far more level headed when it comes to looking back at how the tomb was analysed and how the body was handled, the interviewer seems to be suffering from hind sight. It takes age and experience to produce details of the past relevant to the mindset of Men and their actions.

DR BRIER IS THE MAN!!
Bob Brier is my spirit animal . Actual fact. It will break my heart should we ever lose him.
I've been watching his series from 1999 so fascinating, his research rings true. I will have to get this book

Does Bob wish to be a mummy?
