Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd1lXPNbhwY

A selection of scenes from my desert journey to Cairo in may 2006. The age of the pyramids shows off in the rugged edges of the stones and the observer is initially stunt and confused by the mixture of ancient and contemporary atmospheres that fill this magical-tales place

  • They capped the top with gold plating apparently, and white marble all the way down covered them. That didn't last very long though, did it?

  • Yes, that's just the way I envision them! The gold tops probably were taken apart shortly after the pharaoh dynasty ended or maybe arab invaders destroyed these places ... tomb robbers is not a new profession you know, today's tomb robbers are just scavenging the remains, lol

  • Can you imagine what those things looked like when finished, in all their glory... those years ago, amazing! thanks for the video very cool.

  • ah, yes, having asked this question in fact I can! :]] I imagine them covered in marble and shining hundreds of miles away, like desert beacons! And the whole complex... pretty massive, ritualistic behavior and engineering in ancient times - an amazing fusion! ..

  • The stone near the end of the vid was inscribed with tens of names that different people who came to visit this same spot carved in it for the future tourists to marvel at! It is a hidden spot and you have to climb a bit to reach it. I found it by chance, despite the label "No climbing" lol

    Unfortunately, this is the best quality I could achieve, just Youtube is messing it up too much. And I had to convert from PAL to NTSC

see all

  • @ firthparkkk

    u no wat im egyptian and i totally agree with u yea its the bitter truth that we didnt follow the trails of our brilliant ancestors

    we didnt work hard enuf to maintain their high level of intelligence and progress

  • Because all we ever see is the pyramids and all they talk about is the way they may have been built.

    I would suggest you watch a video that was made by

    WILLIAM PATRICK PATTERSON

    The Origin of Esoteric Knowledge

    It has the best look at egyptian cities and culture.
