I love how you always manage to give us great perspective of the sheer mass and size of these projects. Thank you for being our eyes and ears
I was getting burned out on so many videos of Egypt that are infused with so much bull_hit.
It is so refreshing to find your channel and presentation.
Acoustics, indeed. Thank you.
these videos are absolutely amazing. im not just blowing smoke. keep it up, they are an excellent learning tool. as a student, i feel blessed
Glad you like them!
Thanks for your important work.
You are most welcome
Wonderful. Thank you 🙏
Using that phone like a Pro, I am glad you are looking for Sound, I think it is more important than we have given it credit for thus far with building these these Megaliths and why they exists, (and the biological Body in general).
Vibrations are the why Everything exists.
I'm not seeing any birds or scavengers, is food prohibited on the site.
Actually we saw practically no birds other than vultures wherever we went.
Have you had a chance to investigate any ancient temples in India? Some of them have a very similar construction method as what you have described here, down to the block placements and iron "keys"( that do not rust ) etcetera.
5:55 Can you explain what we're seeing here on the columns? Are the smooth surfaces 'restoration work'? It looks for all the world (I'm sure it's not) like a smooth surface, with a covering of plaster that has weathered and fallen off in patches, exposing the smooth under-surface.
When large scale current era excavation work at Karnak began in the 19th century, most of the columns in the hypostyle hall were tumbled/in pieces. Restoration of them is still a work in progress. The smooth areas are sculpted concrete, filling in the areas where the original pieces have been forever lost, as the columns are painstakingly reassembled and erected on their plinths.
Sadly, this same technique has had to be practiced at most of Egypt's ancient temple sites, where columns and walls have been 'restored'.
@@AncientEgyptArchitecture Thank you. I had no idea there was so much wholesale reconstruction at the site. It makes one wonder what future archaeologists will make of what they find there in a few thousand years, and what made-up date they will ascribe to the concrete.
Much like the rebuilding of the Sphinx, there is a not-so-fine line between faithful restoration and gross disfigurement...
@@WahrheitMachtFrei. Sites like these have been excavated and "restored" by archaeologists for millennia. You can see for example the Roman tourist accommodations. It just adds to the story of the site!
I believe the mud ramp at the entrance is silt build up from thousands of years of the Nile flooding. As you walk in the ramp is on the right hand side. This wall is higher than the one on the left which appears to be unfinished. Therefor if it was a ramp to aid construction it would logically be on the left hand wall. 👍
the outlines of individual mud bricks can still be seen in the ramp.
Might the ceiling gap serve to adjust interior temperature?
possibly, but why would temperature regulation be important?
9:28 can someone explain how they would even know what a ram looks like? Like am I to understand that they are supposed to be rams like mountain sheep?
google Egyptian Aoudad
Bro.. the f*** was that diorite lizard humanoid statue, that sh** was not carved by lion cloth people with chisels. That's wack
