Discoveries in Egypt That SCARE Scientists

Here's the thing: we don't know that these mathematic principles didn't exist back then due to the dark ages and the Alexandria Library being burned down. The amount of knowledge we lost is staggering. Societies were very advanced back then. We're probably still relearning things that we once knew.

I have loved learning about Ancient Egypt starting in elementary school. It is such an amazing topic for me. I am so glad nobody managed to destroy it all. If you are Egyptian, I think you should be proud of your ancient heritage, because it's beautiful.

Ancient egypt is so mysterious it amazes me every time

Fun fact: there are actually 8 faces of the pyramids, each side is slightly angled inward and is bisected down the middle. Like a paper fortune teller.

There needs to be a horror game made based solely on ancient Egypt and its mythology, beliefs, and practices

One thing about cat mummies. I studied archaeology much of my life and there were so many hundreds of thousands, then millions of cat mummies, that, in the 19th and 20th centuries, farmers would grind them up in mills and use the material as fertilizer.

Ancient Egyptians: build precise pyramids. Me, assembling IKEA furniture: close enough, it'll hold the TV.

As to the last one, the ancient Egyptians believed that a properly mummified corpse was essential to the soul having an eternal life. So to deny mummification to someone was to prevent them from ever enjoying an eternal afterlife- the ultimate punishment. The "screaming" skull is just a common and natural result of rigor mortis because of the way the jaw is attached to the skull. The person may have died calmly or violently as that wouldn't affect the process that opens the mouth after death.

around 3::53 "average life expectancy 25 to 35 years of age" infant mortality pulled the average down drastically.

This channel needs to talk about Egypt a lot more that stuff is a rabbit hole of fascination

Clickbait title, at no point is fear expressed by the scientists ever mentioned.

Wouldn't be surprised if the 'no boiling heads' sign was to ban fish-head soup. Someone cooked that in the galley of a ship I worked on, and it stunk so horribly that the galley had to be fumigated, and the pot it was cooked in was thrown overboard by the chief cook, who also banned it from ever being made in his galley again. The stink was so bad that most of the crew couldn't go inside, and if they tried they'd end up vomiting. The people who cooked it, however, said it was delicious... so I guess it's something you have to grow up with.

At 10:01 "How was building this Great Pyramid possible?" I would LOVE to see a reproducible method of using wedges soaked in water to neatly crack blocks of granite. In order for this to work, the method needs to be scale-able such that 2.3 million blocks can be made in such a way that they fit together perfectly without room for a piece of paper. And that's just the Great Pyramid. Then there's the ancillary questions: How many times can you re-use a wedge before it needs to be replaced? How many wedges are necessary for each block? How accurate do the wedges need to be in order to create smooth edges? What forest would have provided the necessary wood? And, finally, how did they get the wood into the granite in the first place, such that it would create smooth edges when the granite cracked? I mean, most sources claim that this is how it was done, but I have yet to see any real-world examples that even come close to the precision necessary for the blocks used in the Great Pyramid. Additionally, I'm skeptical that this method would be swift enough to provide the 315 blocks per day necessary to build it in 20 years time (per Herodotus). My point is that there are problems with our hypothetical model of how the pyramids were built. The evidence of the pyramids themselves, and the precision with which they were built, insists that the builders had access to better tools than we are giving them credit for. (EDIT: At 10:50 the narrator states that the blocks were smoothed down into shape after being placed on the pyramid. This is possible, but not with the copper and bronze chisels the Egyptologists claim were the tools of the time. 315 stones per day for a 12-hour day is 26 per hour. That's two and a half blocks every minute. So either the stones were already shaped for placing, or they had a much faster method of smoothing. )

I love the way this guy has something new for us every day. He never disappoints😁👍

Egypt is at the top of my bucket list of countries I want to visit. After watching exploring with josh and his Egypt blogs it makes me want to go even more

Why are these scientists always scared of discoveries? They should be thrilled.

What a cute explanation of how the stones were transported. Some of the chamber stones from quarries as far away as 500 miles way!

Plot twist the animal mummies were just mummy students taking their finals before being allowed to mummify humans.

If aliens helped Egypt, that means ancient Egypt are so smart that they could communicate with aliens
