  1. We actually know how Egyptians wrote the names down, and can compare and contrast them with Greek ones, i.e. Iset is 𓊨𓏏𓆇𓁐, ꜣst; Coptic: Ⲏⲥⲉ/Ēse; Greek: Ἶσις, and the Coptic pronounciations (last version of Egyptian language) is known, but that's Classical era, and languages change a lot (compare modern English with Shakespeare), so while we known how they were named in Egyptian, as there's no diactric marks, we don't know vowels (they had something similar to abjad, like Hebrew or Arabic, so consonants only, not a full alphabet), and it's mostly guess-work and cross-referencing names to know the ANCIENT pronounciations. So Osiris would be ⲟⲩⲥⲓⲣⲉ/ousire in Coptic, but it's not how they would pronounce the name millenia before.

  2. Many of those statues are in museums, both Egyptian and abroad, some in private collections. Others lost.

  3. The mortar and gaps in stones too... When they talk about unrealistic precision and stones you can't put paper between, that's only for the outside parts, the insides have such wide gaps you have people put cameras inside to film the builders graffiti on inside of some stones.

  5. I am sure they absolutely hated wasting so much money on vanity projects and that's why in the later dynasties, they didn't build pyramids anymore, these covered to tourism revenue just fine and there was better use for taxes. I bet in the future we will also wonder how people allowed wastes like Burj Khalifa being built or launching Tesla into space.

  6. There's some research in towns around pyramids working as cult hubs during the Old Kingdom era, so they would have ceremonies venerating the ruler until it collapsed, it's believed most pyramids were looted in First Intermediary Period between Old and Middle Kingdom, as there was nobody left to guard them.

  8. Such a great documentary, I keep rewatching, I hope you can return to Egypt at some point and explore things you couldn't here (not just in Giza, but the rest of it too, like Luxor, Siwa, Heliopolis and Faiyum).

  9.  @WorldofAntiquity  Super! I think you had a teaser but I can't find it now.

  10. Unfortunately, everything points out that using slaves was more convenient than inventing mechanisms.

  11. ​ @truthdrifter  you know that Jesus often spoke in parables, right? Like the sower story isn't about agriculture, for example. Also, Bible is religious, not archeological book, it doesn't TRY to tell you history, that's not the point.
