  • Egypt is a beautiful place to go - I've been twice and visited the pyramids and the Museum in Cairo. We also went start-gazing and camel riding in the desert and scuba diving in the sea. It was really strange to see people walking on motorways and a Mcdonalds right near to one of the pyramids! I am going to try to go to Luxor to see the Valley of the Kings and maybe a few other places. I absolutely fell in love with Egypt and definitely suggest people go there on holiday.

  • Great video! Many thanks for sharing.

  • im 12 and i have been studying egypt ever scince i was 3

  • when he says symbolist hes refering to schwaller de lubicz who influenced west

  • buying a ticket today!!

  • The Egyptians cultivated the arts and sciences, and their kings busied themselves in erecting those wonderful monuments in the form of tombs, which still remain to a considerable extent. After the conquests of Alexander the Great, the port of Alexandria became the great commercial metropolis of the world, and Greek merchants settled there in large numbers.The economy of pharaonic Egypt has been called an ancient command economy.

  • Ever since I was little I wanted to go here. I just sure hope I'd capture the amazement in the whole thing rather than be too overwhelmed to appreciate it. I am sure I would have to sit there and stair to let such a thing sink into my brain.

  • if any one need to see egypt and all History oh egyption ask egyption come to us in marhba toures and take a treb with us to see the most woundarfull things that cant see it in any ather place in the hole world bec. eygption how form the sevlization and get it in the hole world and the time of america say that its the years of dark its the years of civlisation in egypt ..... thank you

    Great film making, you are very lucky to have been there and experience all this.

  • You know what i liek about egypt ?

    Although the pyramids are perfect, and have straight lines... everything else seems nicely and enjoyable ROUNDED.

    The art, the houses, everything... lovelly rounded, basic shapes... no need for straight lines and sharp images - just lovelly rounded shapes.

  • Egypt is a sacred place for me.The history of this country,its culture,architecture.I was there twice.I still have a feeling that i lived in ancient Egypt in my past live.May be it sounds strange,but thats true.

  • thanks every one i am Egyptian and i am telling u every city has it's bad stuff and good stuff we have lots of bad things but we have every thing els.........

  • Thank you, I found all 3 videos very enlightening.

  • In 10,500 AD we were in the age of Leo which interestingly is when the sphinx was most likely built. It is also when Orion's belt/Osiris would have alignment from the Queen's chamber at Giza.

  • Someday I wanna ride a camel while watching the sun go down and the sky is red, blue, purple and you can see the shadows on the other side of the sand hills miles ahead,........some day.

  • One day I hope to be riding on a camel with plenty of water watching th sun go down in the east on the sand hills, I'vee been thinking about it for some time, I'm just 19 but someday I will make it happen.

    Yup, I wanna Ride a camel watching the sunset go down, to you that might not meen much but it sounds so great to me, I should start saving now, sort've a University grad pat on the back, Probibly need atleast 5-7'000 thousand for a trip there........But someday.

  • Egypt has fascinated me since i was in

    3rd grade.

  • I LOVE THIS KIND OF VIDEO'S youtube rules haha no tv for me

  • Amazing!!!!

  • Egypt! my beloved country.... i miss you...

  • proud to be Egyptian

  • The Pyramids are probably 10,500 years old. Egyptians merely stumbled across them. At that point, the body of the Sphinx was buried in sand and earth. They recarved the lions head to honor a Pharaoh. The Egyptians also tried to recreate the pyramids, but failed considerably. See the "bent pyramid" for example. Advanced civilizations existed long before us, and were perhaps wiped out by floods, and famine due to natural disasters. Instead of this being secret, we need to learn from it.

  • Yep - you get it.

  • @tisdue

    I've always been fascinated by people who refuse to credit the Egyptians, but have no problems crediting much, much, older invisible people.

  • is this a home made video? and I take it you don't have pro training? what editing system did you use?

  • Avid

  • i want to go to egypt!! my fav!!!

  • In the summer,I would leave my computer and go see real EGYPT!!...I can't wait peapole!It's such a beautiful country!!!!All my love from Romania!!

  • Thank you for sharing this with us viewers! Your documentary was really well done and put together

  • ~I am obsessed with ancient Egypt

  • It has been my dream to go to Egypt since I was a child...sooner or later I'll go there for SURE!

  • Many fascinating feats of engineering, but the whole of the Egyptian Empire was an obsession with the afterlife, the underworld, and Pharaohs leaving monuments of self-importance.

  • I love Egypt grettings from México

  • u have to be there 2 believe it..

  • my country :)

  • I have been in Egypt and it really is beautiful....a unique place ...that is what Egypt is..

  • Thanks for this great vid, enjoyed very much as we are studying Egypt very deeply at the moment.

  • i love Egypt, the first dam was built here...

    Raziel --> twitter

  • i love egypt..

  • great documentary! i feel like i was there with you in person :-)

  • thnx guys coz u love my lovely country i hope u visit it soon and i hope u like it

  • A warm welcome from an Egyptian to everyone....

  • Egypt is beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I really wish I could go. Even dressed up as an ancient Egyptian woman for halloween. Really beautiful ancient culture.

    I just wish they could have left the mummies untouched. I understand it was all in the name of science, but it's best to let the dead lie as they are. Or they could have at least put them nicely back in their place when they were done studying them.

  • Actually -Ancient Egyptians are just humans, who had brains and they used it well.

    No need to think of them as stupid.

  • is there a part 2

  • Yes, a part 2 and 3

  • Egypt i like egypt !

  • im egyptian ;)

  • ive been to egypt :-D

  • I call REAL engineering

  • Egypt is clearly the remnants of an advanced civilization.

  • I saw a documentary where an Egyptologist or archaeologist or someone of that caliber showed us how the egyptians were able to build, transport, erect their magnificent statues, pyramids and obelisks. They used sleds, animal fat, sand, manpower. They were clearly sensational architects thinkers and engineers. You can see their trial and error perfected in the pyramids. Their texts and heiroglyphs are no less facinating. What accomplishments what facinating people!

  • Thank you, for sharing. Have traveled around in Egypt, and I will be back, sooner or later.

    There is so much, which I have not seen, experienced, reflected on, if ever, possible.

    Best from Munich,

    Lisa

  • even though i'm not an egyptian but i'm pretty interested in Egypt.

    i want to go there badly. :]

  • How I wish! I could go to Egypt...

  • going to see all this in APRIL <3 so excited!!

  • I think the most beautiful women of the ancient world were the egyptian women..their dresses..the make up..the hair styles....majestic and sensually beautiful for that time of civilization.

  • i love egypt

  • something about egypt always has everyone going crazy. i myself always find myself reading or searching more about old monuments and ancient times, no matter what it's all started from people just like us. and it makes us somehow all connected to one another. I think that's why we're all so driven in to learning more about this.

  • Yes and live that way of life. I am reading their texts knowing their Gods. I've only just started but I already see the mystery, beauty simplicity love of Egypt. They were obsessed with life not death. They believed in living a good decent life they believed in helped each other. Called on their g/Gods for help Gods who weren't solely intent on punishing. In fact we find the Egyptians knew secrets that we don't know even today.Amun-Ra accept our adulation our appreciation for your great people.

  • When I saw an egyptian woman as a little girl, I was hooked. I loved her dark skin, cat eye makeup and her gold jewelry. Wanted to look just like her. <3

  • wow amazing and wonderful place!

  • how did they get that top brick up there without using a heli or building another structure around it?believe

  • Every one wishes to visit Egypt coz Egypt is the mother of the world & I heard some Islamic schoolers said Egypt is the heaven of Adam & Eve on the earth !

  • Very cool. I've always had a fascination with ancient Egypt. I am going to go there someday. Beautiful! :-)

  • man i'm so proud to have come from such a magnificent lineage. hurry up and make time travel possible so i can totally go chill with them back in the day.

  • I'm bulgarian and I like Egypt very much.I was there almost 2 years ago and I want to go there one more time .The pyramids and the Sphinx are the most impressing things in Egypt.That's one of the reason I like this country =)

  • i am egyptian and i love going every year for vacation!

  • EGYPT IS THE GREATEST

  • My frends.....Egypt was one of the greatest in ancient time........but modern egypt is different......its famous now coz of ancient history which still is there in the form of pyraminds etc.......

    I am sorry to say but........in the last thousands of years......Egypt lost very much of its greatness......its culture.......its greatness.......

    whtvr.........I hope I will visit this country of my dreams one day !!!

  • i love egypt since i studied it now theres nothing i dont know about them

  • Pyramid is triangle shape: it's the most strongest structure and most aerodynamic to.

  • wow!..i really love Egypt. since the day i saw the pyramids and the statue of the Peru in some movie i watched..i really got amaze. and then i started searching how the Egyptians build it.=D

    i would really love to go and take some pictures too.=D

    and i wish that when that day comes i hope i can still see the pyramid standing in front of me.=)

    i know that i still have a long way to go, for me to go to Egypt cuz' i'm still kido.=D

  • Egypt is my country.... i am proud to be

    coptic (christian egyptian)

  • Egypt is my country ... I am proud to be Moslim ( Egyptian Moslim)

    I love my country and love Egyptian people.

  • i've dreamed of traveling to egypt since i was a little kid. why? i dont know. whenever i see something or hear something that reminds me of egypt, it brings me back.

  • i agree, when i saw the pyramids when i was 8, i was interested, i bought books about it, and i memorized them, but i am still reading over, over, over. i just cant stop reading about them i dont know y?

  • I think the reason we are so drawn to Egypt is that many of us have had a past life there !

  • That is really interesting. Anything is possible. It would have been really cool if I was apart of ancient egypt so long ago.. in my past life... now im wondering why im so interested in it.. very good point!

  • I'm a 18year old guy from Norway, and I have been to Egypt once, for about 8 years ago, when I was 10. And even though I was just a child back then - I can still remember how extremely fascinated I was, you know - by the pyramides and all the history, of course! This is definitely one of my best childhood memories! I hope I can go back someday, I bet it'll be more fun now that I'm older. Man, I love Egypt!!

  • you know more and more people are going to Egypt i cant wait until i get my chance to go. Good Luck to all who are going

  • This is good for modern Egypt's economy. I just really wish they could restore some of the monuments to their former grandeur but that would take a lot of money!!

  • Egypt is the best , I love EGYPT

  • I want to go some day. As for the weathering on the Sphinx, I've heard some speculate that there are water channels from rain and that Egypt may have been more like Savannah in ancient times, so it's not that it's older, but the climate weathered it faster in the past.

  • Egypt is really a beautiful place and a mysterious place you need to discovered...

    Egypt Rule!!

  • Egypt is the most beautiful place u can visit

  • The most mystical as well.

  • im Egyptiannn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..ancie­nt Egyptians or Coptic people(which are now known as the Coptic orthodox church) have a great history..they were the first people to know that there is only one God..they also made a hole in the ceiling in one of their king's palace to get the sun to shine on the kings face twice a year in his birthday and in the day that he became a king..they also built the pyramids with really no tools!..Egyptians have a great history!

  • Great video, congratulations, beautiful photos and beautiful places, I know one day, a pity I live so far away I am from Brazil, which by the way did a great video if you want to look at the address that is below,

    also see my channel Up More ... /watch?v=42JhgBotuYs

    Thanks

  • thanks Fred for sharing this outstanding video clip.

  • I enjoyed listening to these videos. Well done FredL777.

  • I feel way more of a spiritual connection here than I ever felt in any church

  • I wanna go so badly, I'd choose going to Egypt over a million dollars.

  • I need to see it before I hit the bucket. I have seen Greece and Europe and I believe Egypt would outshine these two places. I am still looking for a cheaper price for the trip.

  • On Cleopatra's facial reconstruction Archaeologist Dr Hilke Thuer from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, who led the discovery, says: "It is unique in the life of an archaeologist to find the tomb &the skeleton of a member of Ptolemaic dynasty. The results of the forensic examination and the fact that the facial reconstruction shows that Arsinoe had an African mother is a real sensation which leads to a new insight on Cleopatra's family & the relationship of the sisters Cleopatra & Arsinoe."

  • i love egypt 

    my country

  • Thanks for posting these excellent videos!!

    Bro Ken

  • I wish I can travel there someday!

  • There is no history that competes with Egypt's, it's incredible...

    The first Egyptian farmers, the Egyptian Pharoahs, the Ptolomics, the reign of christianity (coptics), the reign of Islam, the Ottomans, The Mamluks, the Kings of Egypt, the Arabs, Modern Egypt...

  • OMG this is an amazing documentary

    proud to be egyptian <3

  • I would love to go on a tour with John Anthony West. Thanks for the video!

  • I love stuff like this!

  • I'm in grade 5 and I am learning about egypt it's so cool(can you belive king tut was 9 when he became king) awesome video

  • yube, i belive when i was in 10 i wish that i become a king of egypt too :D

  • What a wonderfull documentary :) You lucky guy!

  • Great video, yes I don't think anybody could call that ancient civilisation 'stupid' considering some of the blocks are the size and weight of freight trains that take the largest heaviest cranes to move in the modern day.

  • You know what be funny if the egyptian build the pyramides just to mess with us.

  • isnt there a room under the shpinx, unopened yet

  • After spending time in Egypt especially after standing at the feet of the Sphinx, my life has never been the same. I am very sensitive to the environment, when I visited the area I had to leave very quickly has I could not cope with the physical experience of standing near this edifice. There is something quite strange about this place, quite unexplainable in our language to tell the story of what I felt there.

  • Very true, religion science everything came from the nile valley.

  • "Very true, religion science everything came from the nile valley"

    you forgot at least Sumer, China and India, not to mention south american cultures..., so no, not everything came from the nile valley

  • Sumer was a great civilization but china and India's influence was more limited. but Egypt is mother of human civilization. It is cradle of human origin

  • Wow! I have to go an experience it myself. I feel a connection that I can't explain.

  • Geeze those pictures are sliding by like subliminal messages

  • Great video. Apparently the Nile used to swell up to the Pyramids. This could also cause the weathering of the Sphinx.

  • The top of the Sphinx is more weathered than the bottom, so it's impossible

  • A lot of the Sphinx used to be covered in sand (half buried), only the top may have been exposed, I am still skeptical

  • most folks are comming around the west discovery. the skeptism you battle with in rooted more in educational and phycological isseus than any historical understanding. LOL.

  • actually the Bottom is a lot more weathered

  • And as someone who lives on a river flood plain I can assure one and all that the erosion patterns of flood waters are quite markedly different from those left by rain.

    Flood waters flow along the ground sheet creating horizontal scoring; rain water rivulets from above creating, well, river beds.

    Make note of the difference between a flood plain and a river gorge.

  • Egypt is such an awesome place! I really enjoy learning as much as I can about Ancient Egypt!

    Thanks for posting!

  • awesome i wanna go there

  • Thank you Sir, you are right, we dont see these things on the television.

  • i love egypt :)

    God bless my country

    thank you for this amazing vid

  • the mother of the whole world's civilization,,hope will be restored again so soon...i loveeeee egypt

  • "mother of the whole world's civilization"

    You got your cotton from India and your silk from China.

  • Depending on locality, 'Mother of all Greco-Hebraic civilisation' would be more accurate. I'm sure some current Islamic Egyptians are all fired up about my reference to Hebrews but then the Pyramids weren't built by Islamists or even Hebrews.

    India also gave us zero and several sanskrit words such as brother.

  • I love Egypt :)

    God bless my contry, thank you very much for this vid.

  • Great video for learners, and I needed to learn!

  • I learn about egypt! and I have to go and see it,cause everything I've been reading from the books about the pyramid,culture,hieroglyphics and the pharaonic tombs just sounds so amazing and it's fun to learn about it(whell to me it is)

    5 stars

  • I have always been dreaming to see Pyramid. Hope my dream comes earlier

  • you should go . i went there in 2001 , it was the ost 3 weeks in my life.really great,

  • welcome any time, we egyptions love you foreigners..

  • what a nice thing to say.

  • thank you so much sir!

  • U go yr mind on religion will change.

  • Hey i justed wanted to ask you!!

    what video camera did you use to film?

    And also do you think the ancient egyptians were black? does it matter what race they were?

    great video by the way

  • five stars

  • amazing Egypt,i love the place,i will go to the Pyrimids before i die,i was facinated as a kid and i am even more facinated now.

  • same here

  • I have studied this amazing civilization for years. However, I have never been there. It's a shame, I would really like to go! Great video.

  • wow - what you say must mirror what many people feel when in Egypt - I find it magical - and will examine in more detail next time I go.

  • Thank you for sharing your travels with us! I have always had a deep burning passion for ancient Egypt and that passion is what made me decide to study Anthropology/Archaeology in college right now. I hope to one day have the chance to visit this wonderful country and many others. For now, your videos help to satisfy the hunger for knowledge and travel. Thanks again!

  • SWEET.

  • I'm learning about egypt and this has really helped. Thank-you so much for posting this Fred777!

  • theire is so much more keep learning i have been studying for a long time and i still do not know anything
