Fascinating. The more I learn about ancient civilizations, the more I realize just how sophisticated they were. People were just like us, living in a very different cultural and religious understanding and without our modern technology, but socially, artistically, culturally and technologically they lived in a far more advanced state than we have perhaps realized in the past. Human civilization clearly goes way back many thousands of years.

Actually it shows that they where more advanced than we are today in alot of ways. The Egyptian government has hidden so much information and facts of the ancient world from us., and its a life or death guarded secret of Ancient Egypt. Instead of saying: This is what we know this is how things where done ... Why this was done so perfectly and how this was done... etc.. No... the try to sell us they used dolomite balls to just slowly pound away at granite to eventually form this or that... Then spit shine it to a mirror like finish with a cloth made of Camel dung and bubblegum.. and also move things that weighed 15,000 ton ++ with sand . Lol.. I do get why they chose to back a few mins... or moons. But I feel today is sufficient time to say... Here's the truth. I'd hope nobody today would invade their country for anything that they might feel important to the world but who knows ..?? Anyways. We have not come far in fact we napped out for hundreds of years and ore recently have become (stupider) dumber. Anyways it is fascinating as is all around places like Gobekly Teckly

100%, we didn't just spring up out of nowhere with all of these traits. We developed them over many thousands of years. We hit a reset at the younger dryas impact theory, but luckily kept our awesome traits through our genetics even though we may have lost a lot of knowledge at that time.

You might want to start watching the Greg J Channel ... the one that talks about ancient cultures , astronomy , science , Velikovsky , and the Electric Universe . About 2 years ago on the channel , they were saying all those great ancient cultures were known to have flying machines but that King Solomon was renowned for having the BEST and most SOPHISTICATED FLYING MACHINES . It's a great channel and Greg has a wonderful sense of humor , is very entertaining , plays wonderful music and sometimes even his own music . You can talk on the chat during the live streaming ... sometimes even with him . Some of his shows have gone for marathon hours ! It's a FASCINATING and FRIENDLY PLACE . You can tell him I sent you as I have been very busy and have not been there much in the past year and a half but will start going there regularly again .

You are correct on all points. The pyramids were not tombs. There's a fair bit of guessing and misinformation on this one, beautifully shot though it is. As I pointed out earlier, the boats were not offerings, as the so-called Egyptologist states, they were there to be used in the afterlife.

Yes , especially that they lead pretty simple life without any day to day technology. The only skill they seem to poses is bulling craft . Unless , the fresh growing population came for already build amazing structures and claimed them as theirs . Since Giza pyramids, there seems to be no expansion of better structures , quite contrary ...

This is really scary. This fact frightened kings, baffled philosophers, and gods used it brilliantly 😈 (in the Qur'an, for example; this fact is mentioned again and again, not as an intellectual debate of course, but as a way to frighten humans of the power of the invincible God). In any case, I think one of the things that plays into the existence of this fact is that civilizations are built slowly and gradually over centuries, during which people record their achievements and write them down and remember them from generation to generation, but upon collapse, there will be no one to record, write down, or remember; Therefore, we understand very well how civilizations arise due to the large number of resources available to us for learning, but we do not have similar resources regarding the times of collapse. There are thousands of books, research, stories, inscriptions, and so on about the emergence of the Middle Kingdom or the beginnings of the Sixteenth Dynasty, or whatever; But you will find only a few lines and words about the fall of the Middle Kingdom and the extinction of the Sixteenth Dynasty, such as: it fell because of the invasion of the Hyksos... because of the attacks of the peoples of the sea... because of the drying up of the Nile... etc. So we really don't understand how that could happen. Thank you for opening the door to talk about this point.

@@sweatshirts623 How would you know that they didn't have what we think as modern technology? If we destroy ourselves in this age, in another 20 thousand years, when some archeologist started digging, how much would we have left behind to tell him that we were "modern" too? Would there be any trace of the digital world we are living now? Heck, we would not even leave any writing as we no longer carve anything in stone. We don't bury our dead in massive mausoleums for them to study. Maybe they would still be able to wonder at the stone structures that ancient eygpt left behind but of us, there might not be any trace.

@joshuapray
@joshuapray Рік тому
@@ashiinsane90 It wasn't. The Great Library continued well into the Roman era, with several notable Romans serving as head librarian there. The most likely theory is that as a.) the position of head librarian became more and more a political stepping stone, b.) the centre of learning moved around and away from Alexandria, and therefore c.) funding for the Great Library dried up, the library at Alexandria simply faded into history, with many of the texts either being removed to other locations or having crumbled to dust quite naturally by the early Roman era.

It was mentioned that there was no European fortresses at the ancient times of the Egyptian forts on the Nile. That's simply not true. Look into Albania and the Illyrian Empire. The Rozafa castle dates back to that same time period. Towers and walls are all around it.
