Treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb (4K HDR)
2022 marks the centenary of one of the biggest discoveries in archeology.
In November 1922, English archaeologist Howard Carter and amateur archaeologist and philanthropist George Carnarvon
discovered the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (KV62) in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor.
Work began on November 1, 1922, and this was the seventh season of excavations in the Valley of the Kings.
On November 2, they began to demolish the shacks in front of the tomb of Ramses VI, and on the morning of November 3, a step was found under one of them.
By the afternoon of November 24, all 16 steps were cleared, behind them was a sealed door to the tomb.
On the door, Carter saw prints of a seal with the name of Tutankhamen and at the same time what researchers often encountered - traces of robbers ...
Excavations in the tomb of Tutankhamen continued until 1933.
Tutankhamen was an 18th dynasty pharaoh of the New Kingdom who ruled Egypt from about 1332-1323 BC.
The father of Tutankhamun is supposedly the reformer pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), the mother is the younger lady, the daughter of Pharaoh Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye.
Tutankhamun was married to Ankhesenpaamun, the third daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.
The exposition of this exhibition presents exact copies of items found in the tomb.

Climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza #egypt #travelvlog #ancientegypt #cairo #pyramids
In this travel vlog, we travel to Egypt to explore the seven wonders of the ancient world, The Great Pyramid of Giza, Al Giza Desert.
The Great Pyramid is located in Giza, Egypt and it was built over 4,500 years ago by the ancient Egyptians. It's the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and it's also the only one that still exists today.
The Great Pyramid is made up of over two million blocks of stone and it stands 147 feet tall. That's about the same height as a modern day skyscraper! It's also the largest pyramid in the world and it's the most accurately aligned structure in the world.
But the Great Pyramid wasn't just built to be tall and impressive. It was also built to be a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu. The Pharaohs were the rulers of ancient Egypt and they believed in the afterlife. They thought that if they were buried in a special place like the Great Pyramid, they would be able to take all of their belongings with them into the next life.
The Great Pyramid is made up of three main chambers: the King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber, and the Grand Gallery. The King's Chamber is where the Pharaoh's body was placed. It's also where you can find the Pharaoh's sarcophagus, which is a special coffin that was made to hold the Pharaoh's body.
The Queen's Chamber was probably used for storage, but no one is really sure. Some people think it might have been used for the Pharaoh's wife or mother, but no one knows for sure.
The Grand Gallery is a long, narrow room with a high ceiling. It leads to the King's Chamber and it's believed to have been used for ceremonies and rituals.

But how did the ancient Egyptians build such a massive and impressive structure? That's a mystery that scientists and historians are still trying to solve. Some people believe that the ancient Egyptians used a system of pulleys and levers to lift the heavy blocks of stone into place. Others think that they used ramps made of mud and brick to roll the blocks up to the top of the pyramid.
No one knows for sure how the Great Pyramid was built, but what we do know is that it's an incredible feat of engineering and a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the ancient Egyptians.
So if you ever get the chance to visit Egypt, be sure to check out the Great Pyramid of Giza. It's a truly amazing and mysterious structure that's sure to spark your curiosity and imagination. #greatpyramidofgiza

Empire Builders - Egypt Trailer
Rising to prominence in North Africa along the fertile valley of the river Nile, ancient Egypt prospered and grew to become one of the world’s earliest and greatest civilisations.
In this episode of Empire Builders we travel through time to appreciate 3000 years of ancient Egyptian history through the amazing stories of ten of its most famous and spectacular buildings. It’s a journey of discovery that will take us to ancient Egypt’s greatest pyramids and obelisks, and its most magnificent temples and tombs.
Our story starts 100 years or so before the building of the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Nearly 5000 years old, and over 200 feet high, the Step Pyramid beneath which the Pharaoh Djoser was buried, is undoubtedly one of ancient Egypt’s most significant and magnificent monuments.
Taking perhaps 20 years to build, Imhotep’s Step Pyramid was a remarkable achievement, of both imagination and construction, but within less than a hundred years the ancient Egyptian architects went much further.
Over 4500 years old, the Great Pyramid of Giza is almost certainly the world’s most famous and recognisable ancient monument.
One of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, it’s the only one still standing .Originally nearly 500 feet high, well over twice the height of the Step Pyramid, remarkably it was the world’s tallest building for over 3500 years until the building of medieval cathedrals.
But then a thousand years later, at the height of ancient Egyptian civilisation’s power and magnificence, the pharaohs came up with a different idea to protect their tombs and the fabulous treasures buried within them.
In a hidden gorge, today known as the Valley of the Kings more than 20 pharaohs over a period of 500 years were buried in secretive rock-cut tombs, whose entrances were covered up to prevent tomb-robbers from finding them. But as it turned out, all of the pharaohs’ tombs here were found and robbed of their treasures – all that is, except one.
After remaining successfully hidden for thousands of years, the entrance to the pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb was finally discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in November 1922.
During his lifetime, Ramesses the Great constructed more spectacular monumental buildings than any other pharaoh. Perhaps the most famous of all the temples he built is located in the remote far south of Egypt, close to the border with Sudan.
A dramatic rock-cut temple carved out of a cliff face on Egypt’s southern border, Abu Simbel was in principle dedicated to the ancient Egyptian sun god Re-Herakhte, but the most dominating aspect of the temple by far are its four gigantic statues of Ramesses the Great, which are each over 60 feet tall.
Apart from at Abu Simbel, Ramesses the Great constructed many other magnificent temples throughout Egypt, but he built probably the greatest of them all in ancient Egypt’s capital city of Waset, today known as Luxor.
Luxor today is just a medium-sized provincial town, but back in its ancient heyday from around 1500 to 1000 BC, it was one of the biggest, wealthiest, and most powerful cities in the world.
At the centre of the great city, Luxor Temple was reached along a grand avenue of sphinxes nearly two miles long.
Located in ancient Egypt’s capital, near Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple was built over a period of more than 1000 years.
Constructed on a massive scale, it was at the centre of a vast religious complex covering more than a square mile.
Although Edfu Temple was built over 1000 years later than Luxor Temple, and most of Karnak Temple, for example, it still has very recognisably the same traditional ancient Egyptian architectural design.
What makes Edfu Temple unique is how well its interior, in particular, has been preserved.
Still covered by its original roof, it provides the best idea we can get of how a temple would have looked in ancient Egyptian times.
By the 6th Century AD, all of ancient Egypt’s pagan temples and cult centres had been destroyed or closed down – all that is, except one temple, which was the very last place in Egypt where the ancient gods were worshipped.
Beautifully located on a small island in the middle of the Nile near Aswan, close to ancient Egypt’s southern border, Philae Temple was dedicated to one of the country’s most important deities - the goddess Isis.
The last major temple in Egypt where the ancient gods were worshipped, Philae was transformed into a church in around 536 AD.
Christian crosses were carved instead of reliefs of the ancient gods, and the Christian Eucharist was celebrated at this altar set up in the ancient temple’s entrance hall.
With worship of the ancient Egyptian gods now forbidden throughout the land, Egypt’s historic hieroglyphic language was also now shunned and forgotten.

To the tomb of Meryre ii
I had wanted to visit the tomb of Meryre ii at Amarna for a long time as it was decorated with a scene of the tomb owner being rewarded by pharaoh Smenkhkare. Getting there proved to be a more interesting experience than I had expected. For more about my visit, the tomb and Smenkhkare please see

PHARAOHS TOMB
STORY: PHARAOH'S TOMB
DATELINE: NOV. 25, 2012
LOCATION: Luxor
CATEGORY: CULTURE
HEADLINE
ANNIVERSARY OF DISCOVERING PHARAOH'S TOMB
Events were held in Egypt to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun, the boy-king's tomb.
INTRO
Events were held in Luxor, Egypt on Thursday to celebrate the discovery of the tomb of boy-king Tutankhamun 90 years ago.
The Egyptian authorities hope such events will help boost the country's tourism in what was once a thriving tourist destination and shine a spotlight on what Egypt still has to offer holidaymakers.
PKG
Egypt's vital tourism industry has suffered from the country's internal unrest in the wake of the 2011 uprising. November is peak season in Luxor yet hotels in what was once a tourist hub are only at 27 percent capacity.
SOUNDBITE: HISHAM ZAAZOU, Tourism Minister
We will continue to have an agenda, a tourism agenda, a touristic agenda, throughout the coming weeks and months for these parts to help boost the interest and the demand once again to Egypt.
In November 1922, archaeologists Howard Carter and the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, George Herber, together opened the tomb of Tutankhamun, revealing the Pharaoh's sarcophagus and a treasure trove of fabulous items in gold and precious stones. Herbert had sponsored the excavations that led up to the discovery.
On Thursday, the Earl's great-grandson, the 8th Earl of Carnarvon, also named George Herbert, held a celebratory reception at Howard Carter's house, now a museum a few miles from the Valley of the Kings.
SOUNDBITE: GEORGE HERBERT, 8th Earl of Carnarvon
My great-grandfather says to Howard Carter 'what do you see?' And Carter famously replies, 'just wonderful things'. And he's looking back at this, in a way perhaps, theatre set of ancient civilization 3,100 years ago, everywhere the glint of gold off those beautiful wooden objects and that's just the start.
The life of Tutankhamun has fascinated people since his tomb was discovered. He lived 3,000 years ago and is believed to have been the 12th ruler of ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty.
Tutankhamun is believed to have ascended to the throne around the age of eight. He was a relatively minor king who probably died under mysterious circumstances before he was 20 but became famous because of the splendour of his tomb.
