@NolanVoid-dr1chwell, his name,e is “simple” man… so🤷♂️ We shouldn’t expect much more than comments befitting a 7th grade boy who’s yet to hit puberty.
Exactly, these tombs were already almost 1500 years old during the reign of Ramses II (his reign started almost 3200 years ago measuring from present date) and they were a staggering almost 2700 years old during the reign of Cleopatra (her reign started almost 2080 years ago measuring from present date)
In 1974 I visited the pyramids. I have a photo of me with a 4000 + yrs old brick lying on the ground. Little did I know,that just a few yards away was a burial site. Goosebumps.
The writing is so clear, even I could read several of the symbols. I know it needs a lot of study, but it was fun to watch and try to read the inscriptions. Thank you.
We visited this tomb as part of a special add-on tour provided by Archaeological Paths tour, Royal Egypt in January 2020 (pre-Covid). The tour of this tomb, as well as the rest of trip was amazing. Dr. Waziri was our special tour guide when we visited the Karnak temple and a few other places. Our primary lecturer was Dr. Zahi Hawass, probably the most-famous Egyptologist. Our day-to-day tour guide, Yasser Kamel, also a well-educated Egyptologist, was fantastic.
Absolutely. One of the workers who helped discover the tomb was there when we were. You could tell he was extremely excited in telling us about the find. The tomb was discovered in a rocky and sandy hill under about 16 feet of sand. After discovery, they encased the entrance area with a steel framing structure and steel door with a lock on it to prevent unauthorized entry. Nothing was removable from inside the tomb, however. The restorers did a great job without destroying the authenticity of the 30 x 10-foot gallery. The only thing that was changed was to add some lighting. At the time, only guests of Archeological Paths were given permission to enter.
Yes, it was. This tomb of Wahtye (or Wahti - various spellings) was one of 15 tombs we were allowed to enter on our trip to Egypt. The most impressive were those in the Valley of the Kings. We entered many tombs there, including King Tut's which has his mummified remains in the tomb in a glass case. I'm planning a trip back to Egypt when the Grand Egyptian Museum opens in Cairo later this year of next. For the first time ever, they plan on exhibiting all of the 5,000 items that were discovered in King Tut's tomb.
I think it looks spooky with that little opening and the huge debris pile by it. Creepy to get trapped in there. Archaeology is a dangerous and risky business. But love the art and history they find for museums.
I’m only a few minutes into the video and I am amazed at the beauty of this tomb and intrigued at what else this tomb is protecting. It is a beautiful tomb. The care taken to protect the tombs is heartwarming, the art and inscriptions tell such fascinating stories and we can all learn so much from these ancient places. Good work is being done.
@@wozzy334 Don't be ridiculous. "The children of Israel" were incapable of building such monumental structures. I would encourage you to educate yourself on the building of the pyramids and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings before attempting to rewrite history according to you.

While the labor is indeed *par* *excellence* , they have discovered.... get it....wait... THE TOMB OF A 4,400 YEAR OLD KING! THEY ARE NOT CLEANING A CLOGGED DRAIN!
Just imagine... the last time someone was there was 3,000 years ago. And how different the world would have been then? and it gives us goosebumps just thinking about this experience. Today, the paint we use in our houses don't even last 10 years, but, their paint is still amazing 4,200 years later. And, where is the mummy? Is there a second part to opening the shafts?
Unbelievably ignorant comment. Environmental wear and tear are not an issue in such an absurdly dry protected environment. If Egypt were not such a dry, desert climate this would've never been possible
To take the time to call a comment unbelievably ignorant, feels unbelievably ignorant to me. And if that comment was so hard to read, then how do you make it through each day when there's so many worse things out there being said in comments. You must be busy 24/7 trying to "correct" people. Oh crap, now you have me doing it. ಠ_ಠ
I like how he thanked the workers too as their task is so crucial. I thought he might let that worker get the first view into the tomb and tell the rest what he is seeing and be allowed in the tomb with the scientists and other workers present maybe one at time have a chance to look and take photos etc. I wonder too about preservation and body humidity and what is on the floor like particles of paint to know the exact colors used and even find like hair or something that could be analyzed for DNA or maybe close the tomb to be fully explored in future times with technologies we don't have today. All is so fascinating and hope to go there some day as part of my Bucket List. Just came 2-15-24 back to add a thought to this and wondering what others think. With the dawn of Artificial Intelligence I wonder if they could micro-scan the frescoes on the walls where the original paint is still embedded and record the exact colors where they could digitally re-create what the frescoes originally looked like. Maybe before scanning the walls to first scan the particles of paint fallen as maybe those particles would contain the most accurate pigments to more exactly match the original artist's mixture and match the artist's exact colors with each area of a fresco and digitally recreate what the frescoes originally looked like. Years ago, about 1995 before AI, a friend imagined the wine in the big clay containers vibrated with the voices and sounds of the people while the wine was continually evaporating. His idea was as the people spoke and the surface of the wine micro-vibrated with the sounds. As the wine was evaporating the sound-waves would leave a stain-pattern or sonic record on the inner walls of the containers. AI could analyze the sound wave patterns and re-create what the people were saying. Maybe they had a whole ceremony with music etc, a kind of funeral and they would know the notes of the songs and how they pronounced their words as compared to each of the stages of the development of the Egyptian language all the way up to the most recent stage of the ancient language the "Coptic" phase.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, and I expect I am, but the guy in the blue shirt seems to do an awful lot of talking, and give an awful lot of orders, but do no work.
@@daveyr7454 Hi! He, the man in the blue shirt, is very knowledgeable of the very difficult hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptian language as early into this video he points to the hieroglyphs and amazingly translates it to his colleagues. I think your observation is right on, that he doesn't do any of the manual labor. He is probably a professor in Archaeology with of course a specialization. There are I imagine different roles each person has to make such a scientific exploration possible, including those who were physically involved with the excavation. Not being involved in manual labor but in intellectual observation I think is an important division, however excavation is also a very careful process involving a series of grids etc. The scientists need to focus all of their invaluable observations based on many years of education and direct field experience. It must be a carefully orchestrated effort to follow the Archaeological methodologies involved in the profession. The man in the blue shirt and his colleagues are scientists and assign and oversee the entirety of such an endeavor. That's just my amateur point of view.
@@daveyr7454 As he should, that gentlemen is; Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the "Supreme Council of Antiquities" from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, Antiquities and Preservation. He is the top boss in charge of everything related to Ancient Egyptian artifacts, pyramids, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and ancient Egyptian writings. He's no small potatoes, he's been doing this for decades, and he is well respected by his employees (archeologist, lab techs, excavation, laborers, shoring, preservation and restoration teams).
Thank you very much daveyr7454! I learned from your very cogent and lucid interpretation of how such a major exploration into time and origin happens. Each person finds their own pathway in choosing the excitement of excavation and the careful methodologies with that and the site overseers like this also amazing scientist in the blue shirt. You have a superior knowledge, more than you realize and I am grateful to you!
@@daveyr7454 This is very typical in Egypt. When ever there are guys doing any manual work there is usually someone standing watching them, often wearing a blue shirt.
Last time i checked tombs contained a body, also 3000yr old compacted dirt isn't moist. no way thats the first time they opened it i reckon the guy who pulled the layer down is the same guy that made it. still a cool discovery but certainly some deception here i imagine their homes just got a lot more ornate.

allow me to raise a doubt, if this is a new discovery, why is no one wearing a mask? why didn't the color preservation team intervene first? why do we light up and take photos with a cell phone?
@@Thomas-yy6rmI am just an average someone who find this interesting, and I know nobody should breath the air mixed with ancient mold spores and other particles that haven't seen the light of day in over 4 thousand years. 😬
The worker knew exactly where to start digging which happened to be where important hieroglyphics could be read. I suspect this was somehow staged too.
@@casiandsouza7031 The greed look in the main person’s eyes said volumes. His wide eyed anxious face and figuring out how to hide the main treasures from the camera to steal the treasures within shouts at you. It’s written all over his face. Hawass had been doing it for years. Will they take their treasurers to the afterlife? How much will they sell on the black market to convert to coin? I would be interested in that video more.
Who did they steal it from ? I mean European have been stealing treasures from all over the world and Egypt for the last 300 years so why not they steal some from their own😂 I was just reading an article about an Egyptian artifact that was found buried under a school in Scotland ! Can you imagine that ? How on earth was it moved from North Africa to the north of the British isles? some of you white people are difficult to understand, when your people were in charge they were thieves now that the natives in charge they are also thieves! I wonder what is the solution 😂
I doubt this tomb was unopened for over 4,400 years. How exactly did they know they would get lucky and coincidentally bring a camera crew along. More importantly, no one is wearing any type of masks or gloves to protect against harmful bacteria or molds that have been detected in other Egyptian tombs.
@@markleggett3944 You don't know how the Egyptians roll. Yeah, they would stick their heads in there without protection and dig it out with their bare hands to get in and take a look as quickly as possible. No organizing teams to go in and carefully excavate it. And they obviously dug it out for some time before they started filming when they saw they were getting to the good part, or maybe this is just a 5 minute youtube video and they cut all the boring poking around in the dirt part out and skipped to the opening.
I would love to have seen these tombs when they were just finished. They look great now but they must have been astounding then. To see how they really build these and the pyramids is something I have always wished to see.
You can see some of the colors still on the ceilings when you visit some of them and they were brilliant in their time, I’m sure - Peacock greens, blues and gold. It must have been amazing.
nice discovery but i'm more interested in the amount of sand that's near the entrance of what was a sealed entrance. Hmmm. maybe not so sealed all these yrs..
agreed. and the bricks at the entrance looked wet and soft. Also at 7:44 you can see the mud is flat. It looks like an object was pressed up against that statue when the mud was deposited.
I wonder what, if any, precautions were in place to: 1) protect those entering this space from any pathogens or airborne viruses, or 2) preserve the pigments used in this ancient site from the light sources or other tools used. To rediscover such antiquities only to have the rediscovery itself mar them would be heartbreaking.
This looks staged, found earlier and filmed to entertain Entered too easily, no breathing equipment, I didn’t see anything to test the air I was at the Valley of the Kings and they had found something and I was lucky enough to see it happening, lot’s of men in pith hats up and down an old ladder carrying stuff down. I was told it would be weeks if not months before they would get in or if there was anything worthwhile Speculation it might be a relative of Tuts
It’s interesting that no one has mentioned this is staged. As many have pointed out who were there, the mud they put back in place is still wet just below the surface. Lame.
Several have beaten you to the jump. But you get a consultation prize: one ounce of Liberian chocolate, covered by an angstrom of gold tinted hooey. You provide your SS#, we will do the rest.
Amazing discovery, very interesting, thank you for documenting the initial opening of such a well preserved tomb from the 5th dynasty, no doubt there is still much to do uncovering and documenting this important individual life, Peace ! 0:01
Amazing how the earth that Hamada is removing looks fresh and damp and the esteemed archaeologists barge into a 4500 year old tomb like a bunch of Chinese tourists. Something is not ringing right.
Paul, have another fermented ding dong and relax. Amazing thing can happen, like taking a smooth dump. Like breathing in and breathing out.. You can become acclimated to the way things are here in Realville as in Reo Linda.
it hurt my heart , when he said '' lets get the restoration team in here '' ... leave the tomb alone , dude , why would you restore a tomb and ruin it at the same time ??? just put some acrylic paint on it and leave it alone ... i would rather see a tomb like it's been found , then another ruined '' restored tomb '' why would i go to Egypt ... to see some 21st century dumbass paint on a 5000 year old wall painting ?
When my husband and I - in the late 1990s - walked around the Saqqara Pyramid, we said to others that we think that there must be lots of treasures hidden under/in there. The other people laughed at us and said "everything there is/was to be discovered, has been discovered". They were so wrong.
I don't see how most people can look at this stuff and shrug it off as "just people doing regular stuff a long time ago" like how is it not interesting to see how far we've come not just in millions of years of evolution, but as a species in the past 4000 years?
And I don't see how it's ok to dig up mummy's from another race of people and proudly display them as Egyptians living in Egypt today. So disrespectful, Lucky while these lies are being played out for all to see at the new so called Egyptian museum, next door Nubia has some originals Guess what? those pharaohs are of African descent. Funny how lies unravel right before our eyes. These two countries are sisters and some of Nubia artifacts and writings contradict the new so-called Egyptian museum hahaha 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@berneak1 I have never, not even once, seen someone say Ancient Egypt and/or it's citizens weren't in Africa and of African descent. Ancient Egypt is literally in Africa, and all humans originated from Africa anyways. I don't see anyone saying ancient Egyptians and modern Egyptians are the exact same, it's pretty clear cut that more people from more places live in Egypt now than in ancient times, and that the ancient people in an African Country were largely African. I don't see anyone at all disputing that. I do not know who you are mad at, because it seems like it is people who do not exist.
Have we though? They have left such beautiful proof of their culture, way of life & their declaration "we were here". They obviously were extremely talented stone workers, craftsman, engravers, painters. What great work of art has been produced in the last 20 years? What statue? Painting? Nothing is really produced now, not in the USA anyway. We leave fragile homes of drywall and electronic pics. Nothing about modern life says "we were here".
Please no nuclear. UK🇬🇧 HM King George VI, the father of HM Queen Elizabeth, also died of nuclear dust attached to his lower rib. Nuclear dust from 1945 August, two atom bomb dust blew from Japan🇯🇵 to China, killed more Chinese than Japanese, then blew to Spain🇪🇸 and the UK🇬🇧. Please don't use nuclear in space. The Gods who maintain this Universe (aliens) are removing nuclear material from this planet Earth and hanging them on the outside of the metal wall of this Universe. In 2019, 24 of the European Space Agency's Galileo satellites lost contact because these satellites provide services for nuclear power plants, nuclear facilities, nuclear military, and aliens shut down these satellites. Global oil and gas prices and electricity prices jack up because nuclear power plants worldwide are nearly all broken and unable to generate electricity. The nuclear matter is a true time-reversal machine and energy vampire. Because of the nuclear material, this Earth is so trash. Nuclear works by drawing energy from any being (human, animal, insect, soil, soul) attached to nuclear dust. The Gods who maintain this Universe (aliens) made oil, gas, coal and minerals. Please use these energies. Gods recycle the landfills, trash, plastics, waste, sewage, and the dead body of water creatures under the crust to make oil, gas, and minerals. Gods use flying saucers to compress dead trees and plants under the soil to make coals. So Gods can bring better asteroid soil and better seeds to Earth to upgrade Earth. Most asteroids are worth hundreds of millions or billions or trillions. guestbook.lingpai.org/d/30-move-the-himalayas-to-the-pacific-ocean-to-build-et-base-island
Weird how there's this thing called groundwater and rainwater and, ever since they damned the Nile, the water table has risen dramatically and is now flooding underground tombs and degrading stuff. Weird. I wonder how the dirt around the tomb could have gotten wet, in the same place where all 4000 rooms of the ancient labyrinth are now completely underwater.
When you consider a tomb being inactive for 3000 years and how great it held up, you have to also consider how great it looks for having been active for 1300 years prior to that.
Really like him by the documentaries ive watched with him in it around Saqarra the most recent being where they found a roll of papyrus that was named after him it was in such beautiful state of preservation from being in a coffin that was well sealed. Im fascinated by Egyptian archaeology. If I'm not mistaken isnt tjis Whatye tomb ?
Thank you Hamada. You put your hand behind the dirt you were removing so that your trowel wouldn't damage the inscription surface. Always such great skills.
Wonderful stuff! I just wish that the *Lighthouse of Alexandria* were still standing. What a sight that would be! Such a shame that it was damaged and destroyed by earthquakes around 1300 AD or so. At least the scattered remains of it - the huge stone blocks and columns - are still present in the harbour of Alexandria. I saw a great documentary about their discovery there. If I were granted a wish to be able to instantly restore two ancient buildings, one would be the Circus Maximus in Rome (now very ruined). The other would be the Lighthouse.
@@willywilkins7494 Yes, that would have been my pick too. The library, exactly as it was in its peak. Complete with all its contents, just as they were.
It looked robbed. Probably it was open for many years and then resealed. Did you notice the mud wasp nests on the ceiling .... they were from a time when it was open.
There were dirt dauber nests on the ceiling, so there must've been a way for them to get down there. A small crack or hole, maybe where the water came in.
There is a lot of debate in the Jewish community among Jewish scholars. The keeping of the Torah is only 3300 years, so I will give myself the benefit of the doubt and stand by my comment, "so much great human history to be explored that came before Judaism, Christianity and Islam brought such turmoil to our world." If I understand what the experts say, although modern man emerged much earlier, beginning around 10,000 BCE, the Neolithic Revolution marked the development of agriculture, which fundamentally changed the human lifestyle. Agriculture began independently in different parts of the globe, and included a diverse range of taxa, in at least 11 separate centers of origin. Cereal crop cultivation and animal domestication had occurred in Mesopotamia by at least 8500 BCE in the form of wheat, barley, sheep, and goats. The Yangtze River Valley in China domesticated rice around 8000 BCE; the Yellow River Valley may have cultivated millet by 7000 BCE. Going with this information and your 5000 years, and the date of the Neo Revolution, humanity was free of Judaism, Christianity and Islam for 5000 years, and in those 5000 years there was a lot of history. @@christinestone391
@@leehale5828 I agree and think human civilization is actually much older than scholars officially acknowledge as there is much lost history as Gobekli Tepe proves. Regardless, Judaism is much older than Islam and Christianity and as such a catalyst for the other offshoot religions you mention. Religion is turmoil and I'd speculate the religions that preceded them had interesting conflicts also.
evidence that the tomb was opened before, but he knows that was thousand of years ago. i would speculate egyptologists opened it to look whats inside and than closed it again for the fake show we see here in this video. just like they always do.
Amazing, simply stunning to Egyptians doing all the archaeology and those colours and plentiful carved imagery my mind seeking for details and comprehension. I look forward to the unveiling of all they learn as it develops under Egyptians expert hands and minds. I imagine the dreams of these men involved after this find and exploration must be something else too. Thank You to all involved.
Rosetta Stone was a chance discovery nearly discarded by workers as rubble. A key translation guide to Egyptian hieroglyphs. Their alphabet was pictographic in nature akin to modern sign language. With our knowledge we can understand the ancient language.
What a bizarre game of hierarchy and status these gentlemen are playing! The big boss has nothing to do with it and obviously no idea, so all he can do is repeat platitudes, the excavation manager and the archaeologists hunch reluctantly behind his back and Hamada, the worker, has only been chosen for the camera because he is so photogenic. How does it come that they are not just happy like children!
Does anyone know why the stone surfaces appear to have all those small holes? Does something specific cause those holes or is it simply the deteriorating sandstone? It reminds me of worm eaten wood carvings.
The holes are from air pockets of expanding and contracting air/water in the finish. We see these today in concrete finishing if the mix is not a correct ratio. I imagine overtime the expanding and contracting has created a hole.
They should recreate a life-size version of this from photo and video evidence and open it as a museum in the town or in Cairo for people to visit and experience
🤣🤣👏👏......So it’s been hidden behind a wall of mud that a bloke can remove with his bare hands in mintiest 🤔...thousands of years of wind rain and the elements could not uncover....
This is disturbing someone’s final resting place, what research you trying to accomplish by this , corrupt officials may be getting money for this, Most countries will not allow this. In Egypt always digging in old ruler’s tomb
This is done to give interested museum visitors an understanding of education and history. But stupid people don't have to watch it and are allowed to remain stupid.
No wonder archaeology gets nowhere. You can hear how they talk, they're so "certain" about everything after seeing it for only 5 mins. It's definitely 3,500 years old, it's definitely this person's tomb, etc. etc. They're stuck on their old findings and not open to considering anything else.
@@2nickles647exactly! The tomb's entrance has the name of the King (Pharoah) and the expert leading the excavation recognized that the name is from the 5th dynasty. More than one hundred years of translation of corroborating material has already created a pretty detailed timeline of the years and months during which each king reigned. Every now and then there is slight tweaking here and there but there is so much evidence from dating the materials from Egypt and from Iraq and other places that now we know a lot about the people and the trading and connections with other civilizations of that time.
Amazing that they are still finding tombs from the Old Kingdom at Saqqara! This was old during Ramses II, and ancient during Cleopatra.

why is the soil that closes the door a different color than the soil just inside the door?... They probably opened it long before televised.
Correct! The soil on the surface of the sealing door has dried, but the soil making up the inside of the door is still damp.......
Exactly what I saw as well.......the soil is still damp for heavens sake. They are just playing us all for fools with most of this stuff.
I think they found the entranced and then sealed it up until the proper authorities could get there to enter.

Oh crap, now you have me doing it. ಠ_ಠ
I like how he thanked the workers too as their task is so crucial. I thought he might let that worker get the first view into the tomb and tell the rest what he is seeing and be allowed in the tomb with the scientists and other workers present maybe one at time have a chance to look and take photos etc.
I wonder too about preservation and body humidity and what is on the floor like particles of paint to know the exact colors used and even find like hair or something that could be analyzed for DNA or maybe close the tomb to be fully explored in future times with technologies we don't have today. All is so fascinating and hope to go there some day as part of my Bucket List.
Just came 2-15-24 back to add a thought to this and wondering what others think. With the dawn of Artificial Intelligence I wonder if they could micro-scan the frescoes on the walls where the original paint is still embedded and record the exact colors where they could digitally re-create what the frescoes originally looked like. Maybe before scanning the walls to first scan the particles of paint fallen as maybe those particles would contain the most accurate pigments to more exactly match the original artist's mixture and match the artist's exact colors with each area of a fresco and digitally recreate what the frescoes originally looked like.
Years ago, about 1995 before AI, a friend imagined the wine in the big clay containers vibrated with the voices and sounds of the people while the wine was continually evaporating. His idea was as the people spoke and the surface of the wine micro-vibrated with the sounds. As the wine was evaporating the sound-waves would leave a stain-pattern or sonic record on the inner walls of the containers.
AI could analyze the sound wave patterns and re-create what the people were saying. Maybe they had a whole ceremony with music etc, a kind of funeral and they would know the notes of the songs and how they pronounced their words as compared to each of the stages of the development of the Egyptian language all the way up to the most recent stage of the ancient language the "Coptic" phase.
Forgive me if I’m wrong, and I expect I am, but the guy in the blue shirt seems to do an awful lot of talking, and give an awful lot of orders, but do no work.
@@daveyr7454 Hi! He, the man in the blue shirt, is very knowledgeable of the very difficult hieroglyphics of the ancient Egyptian language as early into this video he points to the hieroglyphs and amazingly translates it to his colleagues. I think your observation is right on, that he doesn't do any of the manual labor. He is probably a professor in Archaeology with of course a specialization. There are I imagine different roles each person has to make such a scientific exploration possible, including those who were physically involved with the excavation. Not being involved in manual labor but in intellectual observation I think is an important division, however excavation is also a very careful process involving a series of grids etc. The scientists need to focus all of their invaluable observations based on many years of education and direct field experience. It must be a carefully orchestrated effort to follow the Archaeological methodologies involved in the profession. The man in the blue shirt and his colleagues are scientists and assign and oversee the entirety of such an endeavor. That's just my amateur point of view.
@@daveyr7454 As he should, that gentlemen is; Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the "Supreme Council of Antiquities" from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, Antiquities and Preservation. He is the top boss in charge of everything related to Ancient Egyptian artifacts, pyramids, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and ancient Egyptian writings. He's no small potatoes, he's been doing this for decades, and he is well respected by his employees (archeologist, lab techs, excavation, laborers, shoring, preservation and restoration teams).
Thank you very much daveyr7454! I learned from your very cogent and lucid interpretation of how such a major exploration into time and origin happens. Each person finds their own pathway in choosing the excitement of excavation and the careful methodologies with that and the site overseers like this also amazing scientist in the blue shirt. You have a superior knowledge, more than you realize and I am grateful to you!
@@daveyr7454 This is very typical in Egypt. When ever there are guys doing any manual work there is usually someone standing watching them, often wearing a blue shirt.
Very cool stuff! Congratulations on the awesome find. :)
This is an amazing find. Congrats to everyone involved in this fascinating discovery.
don't just trust youtube
Last time i checked tombs contained a body, also 3000yr old compacted dirt isn't moist. no way thats the first time they opened it i reckon the guy who pulled the layer down is the same guy that made it. still a cool discovery but certainly some deception here i imagine their homes just got a lot more ornate.
In your dreams
You are so astute, Charles. If you can spare me a moment of lust for Hot Lips, please go to the second stall on the immediate right as you enter the ladies RR in the Cincinnati grand terminal and ask for Blanch.
@@jeannieheard1465 Whilst i appreciate the compliment I'm not sure i could make the 3953 mile journey to Cincinnati. Thanks for the invite though and good luck.
allow me to raise a doubt, if this is a new discovery, why is no one wearing a mask? why didn't the color preservation team intervene first? why do we light up and take photos with a cell phone?
Thank you for using logic
Yea - seems it’s all ego’s and zero respect (for their ancestors)
Are you an authority on this?
@@Thomas-yy6rmI am just an average someone who find this interesting, and I know nobody should breath the air mixed with ancient mold spores and other particles that haven't seen the light of day in over 4 thousand years. 😬
You are right... Strange!
You would think the dirt on the front door wouldn't be dark/damp like that... or did they just remake it like new for the show.
The dam I know us causing a lot of groundwater problems, causing a lot of damage. There is a video about it.
My exact thoughts no way that mud has been together for 2 years never mind 2000
The worker knew exactly where to start digging which happened to be where important hieroglyphics could be read. I suspect this was somehow staged too.
No considering it was buried, and they say in the video something about recent rain.
Rain
That is amazing!! Wish we could go in and scan the tombs so everyone could see what was built… then we don’t have idiots damaging it
Who are you 😂😂
@@ahmedelkhwaga2751 ...asked the hookah-smoking caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland".
Wow how exciting, I've never seen a tomb opened for the first time like that. Such a fascinating culture, I would love to see Egypt one day
They've already been inside, stole the treasures, then covered it back up and pretended to go back inside for the first time...again!
Thanks! The acting was fishy.
@@casiandsouza7031 The greed look in the main person’s eyes said volumes. His wide eyed anxious face and figuring out how to hide the main treasures from the camera to steal the treasures within shouts at you. It’s written all over his face. Hawass had been doing it for years. Will they take their treasurers to the afterlife? How much will they sell on the black market to convert to coin? I would be interested in that video more.
@@Linda-qd7me the English taught them well !
Who did they steal it from ? I mean European have been stealing treasures from all over the world and Egypt for the last 300 years so why not they steal some from their own😂 I was just reading an article about an Egyptian artifact that was found buried under a school in Scotland ! Can you imagine that ? How on earth was it moved from North Africa to the north of the British isles? some of you white people are difficult to understand, when your people were in charge they were thieves now that the natives in charge they are also thieves! I wonder what is the solution 😂
Vous voyez tous le monde à votre image ??
Wow! Hoping for another CZcams video about this tomb that will show all scenes in detail and identify all the niche statues.
I doubt this tomb was unopened for over 4,400 years. How exactly did they know they would get lucky and coincidentally bring a camera crew along. More importantly, no one is wearing any type of masks or gloves to protect against harmful bacteria or molds that have been detected in other Egyptian tombs.
Right. There is no way they would be sticking their heads inside a newly opened tomb with no protection.
@@markleggett3944i might remind you those are the shenanigans of the first world people. People in the third world don't care about such things.
@@markleggett3944 You don't know how the Egyptians roll. Yeah, they would stick their heads in there without protection and dig it out with their bare hands to get in and take a look as quickly as possible. No organizing teams to go in and carefully excavate it. And they obviously dug it out for some time before they started filming when they saw they were getting to the good part, or maybe this is just a 5 minute youtube video and they cut all the boring poking around in the dirt part out and skipped to the opening.
@@TylerChamb Better them than me!
Unbelievable, amazing discovery weldone
OH WOW! beautiful tomb, how exciting for all concerned. Congratulations to all, more please. Thankyou.
What a beautiful discovery 😍
I would love to have seen these tombs when they were just finished. They look great now but they must have been astounding then. To see how they really build these and the pyramids is something I have always wished to see.
Probably Hollywood could gin up a physical or CGI representation of this tomb as new. We hope they will.
You can see some of the colors still on the ceilings when you visit some of them and they were brilliant in their time, I’m sure - Peacock greens, blues and gold. It must have been amazing.
The age of that tomb blows me away considering the condition it is in. If the guy is right, the tomb was there before the time of Moses.
It's interesting to see popcorn ceilings going back thousands of years. I guess some things never go out of style.
Absolutely wild to be standing in a room built 3500 ago. So awesome.
Best Wishes to all for your Hard work 👍 and Unique World Heritage
this belongs to black people period
nice discovery but i'm more interested in the amount of sand that's near the entrance of what was a sealed entrance. Hmmm. maybe not so sealed all these yrs..
I’m calling bs on that as well. There’s no doubt that soil was stacked and dried to look as if they were uncovering it for the first time. FAKE!
agreed. and the bricks at the entrance looked wet and soft. Also at 7:44 you can see the mud is flat. It looks like an object was pressed up against that statue when the mud was deposited.
I wonder what, if any, precautions were in place to: 1) protect those entering this space from any pathogens or airborne viruses, or 2) preserve the pigments used in this ancient site from the light sources or other tools used.
To rediscover such antiquities only to have the rediscovery itself mar them would be heartbreaking.
No because it’s dumb
Exactly, plus they should have taken air samples to examine them.
I agree
You watch too many old movies. Viruses cannot live in dry climate for 4500 hears LOL
This looks staged, found earlier and filmed to entertain
Entered too easily, no breathing equipment, I didn’t see anything to test the air
I was at the Valley of the Kings and they had found something and I was lucky enough to see it happening, lot’s of men in pith hats up and down an old ladder carrying stuff down. I was told it would be weeks if not months before they would get in or if there was anything worthwhile
Speculation it might be a relative of Tuts
Wonderful. A snapshot of ancient history. The archeologists are so thrilled. Anxious for more!
It’s interesting that no one has mentioned this is staged. As many have pointed out who were there, the mud they put back in place is still wet just below the surface. Lame.
Do you think the whole find is staged, not real? Or just the tomb opening
@@TheCandiceWang nah just the opening. It was opened previously in private like they always do, and then put on a “opening” charade for publicity.
Rain
Several have beaten you to the jump. But you get a consultation prize: one ounce of Liberian chocolate, covered by an angstrom of gold tinted hooey. You provide your SS#, we will do the rest.
It would be truly amazing to be the first to explore a 3,000 year old archaeological Wonder such as this!
Amazing 😍
Finding of new excation sites seems to be never ending. Egypt is full of opportunities for archaelogic work.
over 8000 years of tombs, and these tombs are circa 4000yrs,,imagine the ones beneath it.
They have already been in there to be spewing out information so easily. It's a shame they have likely stolen the contents prior to this.
Who are you
@@ahmedelkhwaga2751 Why do you ask?
What did you see in the video that made you say that? I saw they made an opening to the tomb when it was covered...
Very interesting!
ويأتي جاهلي من الجزيرة العربية ويقول نحن من اخرجناكم من الضلمات الى النور
Congratulations and many more added discoveries in the months and years ahead! We've been to Giza and hope to get back to the Nile one day.
A tomb opening that is calm, measured, methodical and as organized and professional as Cairo traffic. . .
What a shambles!!!
You have no right on us
THESE DISCOVERIES ARE AS THRILLING AS CARTER'S WAS IN 1922!!
Amazing discovery, very interesting, thank you for documenting the initial opening of such a well preserved tomb from the 5th dynasty, no doubt there is still much to do uncovering and documenting this important individual life, Peace ! 0:01
I have such gratitude for the descendants of the ancients sharing their history. And not just in Egypt.
you mean not respecting sacred tombs and digging them for artifacts, seems a very arab thing to do.
aint no grave robbers like modern day grave robbers
Real Egyptians
Amazing how the earth that Hamada is removing looks fresh and damp and the esteemed archaeologists barge into a 4500 year old tomb like a bunch of Chinese tourists. Something is not ringing right.
Paul, have another fermented ding dong and relax. Amazing thing can happen, like taking a smooth dump. Like breathing in and breathing out.. You can become acclimated to the way things are here in Realville as in Reo Linda.
it hurt my heart , when he said '' lets get the restoration team in here '' ...
leave the tomb alone , dude , why would you restore a tomb and ruin it at the same time ???
just put some acrylic paint on it and leave it alone ...
i would rather see a tomb like it's been found , then another ruined '' restored tomb ''
why would i go to Egypt ... to see some 21st century dumbass paint on a 5000 year old wall painting ?
Don't come
Thank you for sharing this with me!!! Fascinating!!!😊😊😊
When my husband and I - in the late 1990s - walked around the Saqqara Pyramid, we said to others that we think that there must be lots of treasures
hidden under/in there. The other people laughed at us and said "everything there is/was to be discovered, has been discovered".
They were so wrong.
I was there in 1977...it's amazing what has been uncovered since then.
Вероятно, они говорили о людях, живших еще до новой эры.
I don't see how most people can look at this stuff and shrug it off as "just people doing regular stuff a long time ago" like how is it not interesting to see how far we've come not just in millions of years of evolution, but as a species in the past 4000 years?
where have we come?
And I don't see how it's ok to dig up mummy's from another race of people and proudly display them as Egyptians living in Egypt today. So disrespectful,
Lucky while these lies are being played out for all to see at the new so called Egyptian museum, next door Nubia has some originals
Guess what? those pharaohs
are of African descent. Funny how lies unravel right before our eyes.
These two countries are sisters and some of Nubia artifacts and writings contradict the new so-called Egyptian museum hahaha 🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@berneak1 I have never, not even once, seen someone say Ancient Egypt and/or it's citizens weren't in Africa and of African descent. Ancient Egypt is literally in Africa, and all humans originated from Africa anyways.
I don't see anyone saying ancient Egyptians and modern Egyptians are the exact same, it's pretty clear cut that more people from more places live in Egypt now than in ancient times, and that the ancient people in an African Country were largely African. I don't see anyone at all disputing that.
I do not know who you are mad at, because it seems like it is people who do not exist.
Have we though? They have left such beautiful proof of their culture, way of life & their declaration "we were here". They obviously were extremely talented stone workers, craftsman, engravers, painters. What great work of art has been produced in the last 20 years? What statue? Painting? Nothing is really produced now, not in the USA anyway. We leave fragile homes of drywall and electronic pics. Nothing about modern life says "we were here".
Please no nuclear. UK🇬🇧 HM King George VI, the father of HM Queen Elizabeth, also died of nuclear dust attached to his lower rib.
Nuclear dust from 1945 August, two atom bomb dust blew from Japan🇯🇵 to China, killed more Chinese than Japanese, then blew to Spain🇪🇸 and the UK🇬🇧.
Please don't use nuclear in space. The Gods who maintain this Universe (aliens) are removing nuclear material from this planet Earth and hanging them on the outside of the metal wall of this Universe.
In 2019, 24 of the European Space Agency's Galileo satellites lost contact because these satellites provide services for nuclear power plants, nuclear facilities, nuclear military, and aliens shut down these satellites.
Global oil and gas prices and electricity prices jack up because nuclear power plants worldwide are nearly all broken and unable to generate electricity.
The nuclear matter is a true time-reversal machine and energy vampire. Because of the nuclear material, this Earth is so trash. Nuclear works by drawing energy from any being (human, animal, insect, soil, soul) attached to nuclear dust.
The Gods who maintain this Universe (aliens) made oil, gas, coal and minerals.
Please use these energies. Gods recycle the landfills, trash, plastics, waste, sewage, and the dead body of water creatures under the crust to make oil, gas, and minerals.
Gods use flying saucers to compress dead trees and plants under the soil to make coals. So Gods can bring better asteroid soil and better seeds to Earth to upgrade Earth. Most asteroids are worth hundreds of millions or billions or trillions.

It looks amazing. Some of the paintings and sculptures are almost perfectly preserved!
What a amazing find such beautiful work the ancient Egyptians did
I'm so happy to see such careful work being done.
Wow 🤩 😮Thank you for this amazing experience! Beautiful!
🥱
Weird how that area he took away was darker, almost wetter than it's surroundings. Mad.
Weird how there's this thing called groundwater and rainwater and, ever since they damned the Nile, the water table has risen dramatically and is now flooding underground tombs and degrading stuff. Weird. I wonder how the dirt around the tomb could have gotten wet, in the same place where all 4000 rooms of the ancient labyrinth are now completely underwater.
When you consider a tomb being inactive for 3000 years and how great it held up, you have to also consider how great it looks for having been active for 1300 years prior to that.
So very true
Really like him by the documentaries ive watched with him in it around Saqarra the most recent being where they found a roll of papyrus that was named after him it was in such beautiful state of preservation from being in a coffin that was well sealed. Im fascinated by Egyptian archaeology. If I'm not mistaken isnt tjis Whatye tomb ?
Mind blowing that these people lived over 150 generations ago. 😳
Thanks for posting! Fascinating. This is what knowledgeable, caring people can do.
The people who built this tomb are the ancestors of the people who discovered the tomb. How cool is that!
No Arabs discovered the tomb
@@Davemmmasonand we all know that the real Egyptians where sub Saharan Africans.😂
THE PERSON READING THIS IS Descended FROM PEOPLE WHO COULD READ HOW COOL IS THAT? trivial. pointless.
Arabs invaded Egypt. They are not the ancient Egyptian. Nothing on that wall looks, like them Stop, already.
Egypt was invaded from the south and the north in that era. Later invasions from the sea. Egypt was Khemet.
Thank you Hamada. You put your hand behind the dirt you were removing so that your trowel wouldn't damage the inscription surface. Always such great skills.
That was my first thought too. He did a fantastic job, and appeared to take his responsibilty very seriously.
Wonderful stuff!
I just wish that the *Lighthouse of Alexandria* were still standing. What a sight that would be!
Such a shame that it was damaged and destroyed by earthquakes around 1300 AD or so.
At least the scattered remains of it - the huge stone blocks and columns - are still present in the harbour of Alexandria.
I saw a great documentary about their discovery there.
If I were granted a wish to be able to instantly restore two ancient buildings, one would be the Circus Maximus in Rome (now very ruined).
The other would be the Lighthouse.
I think it a greater shame is the fire that destroyed the Library of Alexandria. Think of all the knowledge those ancient scrolls contained!!
@@willywilkins7494 Yes, that would have been my pick too. The library, exactly as it was in its peak. Complete with all its contents, just as they were.
I'd settle for the rubble of the Library of Alexandria or a period painting of the Colossus of Rhodes .
Absolutely breathtaking! I had the privilege of visiting Egypt in September and this adds even more to my experience.
Amazing, wow! Great it was not discovered by tomb robbers!
They are tomb robbers.
@@Sle267 exactly
@@Sle267 yeah I guess if they took something, anyone would be lol
It looked robbed. Probably it was open for many years and then resealed. Did you notice the mud wasp nests on the ceiling .... they were from a time when it was open.
They say it was reopened during the "intermediate period" (no idea what that is), but I presume it was robbed then.
There were dirt dauber nests on the ceiling, so there must've been a way for them to get down there. A small crack or hole, maybe where the water came in.
The excitement of the professor is so telling. This has to be his first time in this tomb, contrary to other commentors.
Beautiful
So much great human history to be explored that came before Judaism, Christianity and Islam brought such turmoil to our world.
Judaism is over 5 thousands years old.
There is a lot of debate in the Jewish community among Jewish scholars. The keeping of the Torah is only 3300 years, so I will give myself the benefit of the doubt and stand by my comment, "so much great human history to be explored that came before Judaism, Christianity and Islam brought such turmoil to our world." If I understand what the experts say, although modern man emerged much earlier, beginning around 10,000 BCE, the Neolithic Revolution marked the development of agriculture, which fundamentally changed the human lifestyle. Agriculture began independently in different parts of the globe, and included a diverse range of taxa, in at least 11 separate centers of origin. Cereal crop cultivation and animal domestication had occurred in Mesopotamia by at least 8500 BCE in the form of wheat, barley, sheep, and goats. The Yangtze River Valley in China domesticated rice around 8000 BCE; the Yellow River Valley may have cultivated millet by 7000 BCE. Going with this information and your 5000 years, and the date of the Neo Revolution, humanity was free of Judaism, Christianity and Islam for 5000 years, and in those 5000 years there was a lot of history. @@christinestone391
@@leehale5828 I agree and think human civilization is actually much older than scholars officially acknowledge as there is much lost history as Gobekli Tepe proves. Regardless, Judaism is much older than Islam and Christianity and as such a catalyst for the other offshoot religions you mention. Religion is turmoil and I'd speculate the religions that preceded them had interesting conflicts also.
I agree with your statement.
Your world not ours
The official looters are the
archaeologist themself. 😂
evidence that the tomb was opened before, but he knows that was thousand of years ago. i would speculate egyptologists opened it to look whats inside and than closed it again for the fake show we see here in this video.
just like they always do.
The statues look less refined, older style…as if still learning their craft…
Amazing, simply stunning to Egyptians doing all the archaeology and those colours and plentiful carved imagery my mind seeking for details and comprehension. I look forward to the unveiling of all they learn as it develops under Egyptians expert hands and minds. I imagine the dreams of these men involved after this find and exploration must be something else too. Thank You to all involved.
Rosetta Stone was a chance discovery nearly discarded by workers as rubble.
A key translation guide to Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Their alphabet was pictographic in nature akin to modern sign language.
With our knowledge we can understand the ancient language.
The Rosetta Stone was used in the construction of a wall and stayed there between around 1470 and 1799...
Rosetta Stone was the first discovered. Since we found dozen of them, and we know they were common in several Egypthian cities.
It was the French 😂😂
Gosh-a-rudy, Mr. Science. Amazingly accurate, Captain Obvious.
Wonderful video - another fascinating look into the greatest civilisation of them all . . .
Nice
At about 6:47 he says the tomb was opened about 3,00 years ago. That figures.
What a bizarre game of hierarchy and status these gentlemen are playing! The big boss has nothing to do with it and obviously no idea, so all he can do is repeat platitudes, the excavation manager and the archaeologists hunch reluctantly behind his back and Hamada, the worker, has only been chosen for the camera because he is so photogenic. How does it come that they are not just happy like children!
Wtfff
Very nice
Disorganized, careless, chaotic. Typical Egypt.
the colors are incredible so delicate and vivid and many many statues and pictures of life scene
Does anyone know why the stone surfaces appear to have all those small holes? Does something specific cause those holes or is it simply the deteriorating sandstone? It reminds me of worm eaten wood carvings.
The holes are from air pockets of expanding and contracting air/water in the finish. We see these today in concrete finishing if the mix is not a correct ratio. I imagine overtime the expanding and contracting has created a hole.
Sand Termites are a plague in Egypt. Ask any Aardvark who lives there.
Very exciting, the petroglyphs are so interesting! Thank you for sharing this amazing discovery!!
Amazing. Wish we had subtitles for the whole video.
Браво! Уникална работа! Прекрасно откритие!
Nothing quite like a little state-sponsored tomb robbing....
From who
What’s down that shaft?
They should recreate a life-size version of this from photo and video evidence and open it as a museum in the town or in Cairo for people to visit and experience
Такое нужно сразу покрывать защитным лаком от атмосферных воздействий и от влажности!

Running down the wing
It looked like it was already open. Did you see the light coming in? 4:40
That's where they entered the tomb lol
It is just unbelievable to sit her and watch this process unfold. “Nobody has been in here for 3,000 years.” 😳. I mean …
🤣🤣👏👏......So it’s been hidden behind a wall of mud that a bloke can remove with his bare hands in mintiest 🤔...thousands of years of wind rain and the elements could not uncover....
doesn't the fresh air quickly damage the paint and make it fall off? they should be taking quality pictures of everything first!
He told someone in the crew to fetch the restauration team and take a lot of photos.
Nooo
An incredibly exciting discovery. I cannot imagine how those there contained themselves. Just think undisturbed for three thousand years, amazing.
Amazing. Lost for words really. Incredible to see colours still there after so long.
😊 I know right. We've been waiting on this for years.
Similar to the dreadlocks hair style 😎.
This is disturbing someone’s final resting place, what research you trying to accomplish by this , corrupt officials may be getting money for this, Most countries will not allow this. In Egypt always digging in old ruler’s tomb
This is done to give interested museum visitors an understanding of education and history. But stupid people don't have to watch it and are allowed to remain stupid.
Lol wtfff
No wonder archaeology gets nowhere. You can hear how they talk, they're so "certain" about everything after seeing it for only 5 mins. It's definitely 3,500 years old, it's definitely this person's tomb, etc. etc. They're stuck on their old findings and not open to considering anything else.
Once you know how to read the glips. You already understand how old objects are.
@@2nickles647exactly! The tomb's entrance has the name of the King (Pharoah) and the expert leading the excavation recognized that the name is from the 5th dynasty. More than one hundred years of translation of corroborating material has already created a pretty detailed timeline of the years and months during which each king reigned. Every now and then there is slight tweaking here and there but there is so much evidence from dating the materials from Egypt and from Iraq and other places that now we know a lot about the people and the trading and connections with other civilizations of that time.
They are Professional
