    Egyptologist Chris Naunton travels to investigate what triggered over 1,000 years of pyramid building. What intrigues you most about these pyramids?
  • Do you ever wish that you could time travel? I mean it would be pretty cool to see the pyramids when they were first built and see the way that people actually lived back then. I know you can read about it and watch documentaries and stuff, but I feel like it would be a whole other thing to actually see it in person.
  • Wow! I love watching stuff like this! I can't believe the first pyramid is still standing!
  • @itsmenotyou9886
    When you dedicated your whole life for building a pyramid but you see alien get credit.
  • You may be good at your job but you’ll never be Imhotep levels of good that you end up being worshipped as a god
  • @nevealbarn2672
