A history textbook in middle or high school (1980s/90s) had a brief blurb about the floral wreaths found on Tutankhamun. Reading that and realizing they had survived for thousands of years is one of the things that made me want to pursue archaeology as a profession.

This is really without a doubt surely the greatest Tutankhamun documentary & the story of Howard carter’s discovery I’ve ever seen & I’ve seen many of them! The level of quality & every detail that I’ve just watched has been truly special & unforgettable it’s just an honour✨ Thank you for sharing this amazing story once again in such an incredible mesmerising beautiful way truly thanks!

What I love about the photos from the antechamber, at a glance, it looks like they could be photos of someone's garage or basement. It's arranged in that sort of organized chaos putting stuff wherever it fits. It gives it a really human touch to it all.

I'm in Alberta Canada and am so incredibly jealous but grateful to be shown such beauty with such informed care and respect

An awe-inspiring moment frozen in time! This video takes us back to that historic instant when Howard Carter uncovered the steps leading into Tutankhamun's tomb. It's a testament to human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of discovery. Witnessing this pivotal moment is nothing short of mesmerizing, offering a glimpse into a world hidden for centuries beneath the sands of Egypt. Truly a treasure trove of history!

This was an amazing documentary. I’m a history buff & enjoy military history as well. WW2 is a favorite topic but I also love ancient Roman, Greek & Egyptian history. It’s mesmerizing & captivating. When I was a little kid I was absolutely transfixed by the Tutankhamen & Egyptian exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. One of the benefits of living in NY is having proximity to so much culture in the form of museums, exhibits, etc It’s a travesty that many native New Yorkers never even take advantage of these things. It’s like all the non-skiers I have met while living in Colorado😮🫤 Anyway all those pictures by Burton of Howard & company unearthing the tomb are incredible. He was able to record the entire process of all the work involved like investigating the tomb & cataloging all of the treasures. I was floored to learn it took 10 years to go through the 4 rooms & over 5,000 artifacts. Insane. At around @26:15 the Oxford curstor Daniella Rosenow says Burton took over 3,000 photos. This was using 1922 tech also. Photography back then was laborious & I’d assume expensive. We take so much for granted with our phones & digital cameras. It’s just hard to comprehend.

Anyone seen all the food they found in his tomb that still held up today onion/pitted dates/whole chickens. They were so advanced

Beautiful to see the tomb up close, I am intrigued always!

So absolutely mesmorizing, transcendent and spiritual. Imagine for a moment that you found this tomb all alone. No one in the world knew a thing. Lanern lit, just staring at the glorious artifacts around you.

A superb and rare opportunity to view documents and learn more of the amazing details on this archaeological record of a human life! Bravo!

I LOVE learning about anything on ancient Egypt! I have so many books about it. I love it so much I had a cat I named Bastet💜 Great episode!

how many times I read and watch from various sources king tut`s story cant remember but never get bored

I’m 35 and I’d cry if I get a chance to go to Tutankhamun tomb

Great presentation, even though it is obviously a 'retweet' of a 2022 documentary. Thanks. I never realised just how good an artist & photographer Howard Carter was. Those images of the coffins, in their discovered state were breath-taking. Imagine someone, of today's World, having the patience & integrity to hold back, the urge to open the various coffins, whilst the necessary work, of documenting the detail, was carried out.

Quality documentary! One of the best documentaries I have ever watched..

Love this video, very informative! Thank you for sharing! 😍🤗

History is so incredible. I try to close my eyes and imagine what it could have been like living during these times. Even just to be able to time travel and see what they all truly looked like.

Absolutely fantastic

THANK YOU DAN SNOW I've enjoyed this documentary on KING TUT....

Best documentary ever thankyou❤

great doccie! Really fascinating work

nicely presented. fascinating egypt. always been my obsession.

I so enjoyed this!

They should’ve taking it away . What a horrible thing to do . He should be resting where his family left him

This was fantastic.

*No, a worker found them* At least one Abu Simbel Temple gave credit to the boy that told an archeologist about it, but of course, some don't believe Abu even existed, because they want the praise. Shouldn't some praise go to the workers? They knew what to look for. Even today Zahi Hawass so many times "I discovered this" with the archeologist who did standing right there!

I was lucky enough to have stood within a meter or so of that overwhelmingly beautiful mask, when it was here in London at the history museum, part of a full display of artefacts from the tomb, many years ago. It made a huge impression on me! I cannot overstate how big. One that will stay with me all my days.

Carter had gorgeous handwriting.

So amazing

Fabulous, I went to Egypt in the 90 and the Tumb was close for maintenance , could not believe my luck, I am 56 yrs , not sure If will ever go back, rather discover other beautiful parts of the world.

THANK YOU DAN SNOW I've enjoyed this documentary on KING TUT

15:52 i dont see that at all. i see scribble. Looks worse than a doctors note. The funny thing is that Howard Carter didnt even discover the tomb. One of the worker's sons was playing in the area and just happen to dig a hole and found the first step. 20:42 its hard to fathom that those objects have been in the same exact spot for THOUSANDS of years. im curious to how the sarcophagus was put in there without scratching up the interior.

Enjoyed this

Just imagine what else is still to be uncovered 😮 all that Gold and items preserved for us to uncover

The inner coffin was solid gold? Was it one piece single cast? That would require so much heat in a controlled environment and huge molds.

Just been in his Grave two weeks ago. Small Tomb. I was unsatisfied because the other Graves like the one from Ramses IV was more impressiv.😢 They House from Mr. Carter ist now a Museum... By the way, his Mummy was also located in the Grave in a Glass cofin.

Some dirt poor Egyptian laborer was the guy who discovered that step leading to the tomb of Tut... Anyone know what his name was? Carter claimed the credit for discovering King Tuts burial tomb...I don't think Carter ever touched a shovel... No justice.. No accolades..nuttin,'...

nice

I ❤ the Egypt.

Already many years ago, when going into the heat,I was told NEVER go without a headgear. A hat, a baseball cap. Anything.But never bareheaded.

a poor worker found the steps for the tomb

I may be wrong here, but wasn't it a little boy who saw the corner of a step poking out of the sand?

Why is Dan holding that LED light stick in the tomb? It is already well lit with electric lights. We don’t need a prop to suggest to us you’ve crawled deep underground- the tomb on its own is spectacular enough!

Carter had in Been in thst tomb long before he announced it, hed taken many artifacts , out well before the grand opening

Imagine if the great pharaoh Ramses was discoverder her tomb in intact.. its more treasure and wonderful things that we can see today..

strange Tutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled c. 1332 - 1323 BC, alexander arrived in Egypt 332 BC. According to Greek historical sources, the Egyptians welcomed him. In the same year he was crowned as Pharaoh died 323

"The spirit of millions of years"

So proud to be Afrikan ✊🏽

An interesting documentary but had to ignore that it was hosted by Dan Snow

wow

Great episode. The host reminded me of Gordon Ramsay if he was a historian.

Have been there…it’s amazing ,.it’s was made with about 122lbs of gold …

How long after he died did the burial take place? It must have taken a long time to create the objects and masks/coffins he was buried with.

The death mask was actually for a female. It was evident that they weren't expecting the pharaoh's death and had to scramble to finish quickly.

How long did common Egyptian's tombs get worked on before they died?

He screamed I'm rich

Lots of historical inaccuracies

Best discovery ever,still uneducated people spreading rumours about his health.btw latest research showed his bloodline was not pure incest,his death was not of health issues.note:all kings heart were put in boxes with every organs seperate near his tomb.but king tut heart was never found,becoz he died on the battlefield,by the enemy chariot or was crushed when he felt from his coz when they researched on him properly his left side was crushed likely by impact of a chariot weel,his heart was crushed and could not be preserved.

I'M #422=8 ♾️ Imagine if ancient tomb robbers had gotten to this tomb first😳. We are the fortunate. Putting all on display is a Celebration of Tutankhamun! 🪲2024 May.

Good evidence all this stuff was made for Tut's sister, Meritaten. Her stuff was usurped for Tut's tomb. Not fair!

I've always wondered if the robbers that got into King Tut's tomb committed only minor thievery because they got caught.

Its funny really, the ancient Egyptians pharaohs didn´t want to be forgotten. They wanted to live forever in the minds of the people. Well King Tut certainly hasn´t been forgotten, he now lives forever in the minds of the people, and its all thanks to the man who broke into his tomb.

And yet, he was a relatively minor, or unimportant, Pharaoh, buried with odds and ends of his father's (probably) leftovers. As much as it is a treasure, it is also a pile of hastily assembled rubbish.

34:02 probably half a trillion dollars in gold right there alone. easily.

Fascinating!!

لو وضعت ترجمة باللغة العربية ، سيكون امر جيد من اجلي انا مصري ولا اتحدث الانجليزية 😂😂😂😂

HOWARD CARTER FOUND KING TARTARS TOMB IN 1922AND WHEN HE PUT AN OIL LAMP THROUGH A SMALL HOLE HE SAW GOLD EVERY WHERE AND WHEN HE LIFTED THE HEAVY GRANITE LID OFF THE COFFIN HIS DEATH MASK IS MADE FROM SOLID GOLD AND IT'S AMAZING HOW THE ANGENT EGYPTIANS WERE ABLE TO DO THIS THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO 😁

Who gives these people the right to desecrate the dead and raid thier tombs like theives that they are nothing is sacred when someone can make money off it ...makes me sick

I wonder how they molded the mask.

King a cou ta da

Well we know he’s eating good in the after life

No...he did not !!! A worker did !!!😊

I got confused when the woman expert used the word "cashet" instead of "cashe." 🙄

Who else came from a recommendation?

karas niekada nelaiko karo

I heard there was someone say they found some Brexit leaflets down there, or maybe just planted!

where are the stolen artifacts now?

First ❤

Lets not forget that this wasnt just for historic or archeological value purely. It was mainly so the UK could get their hands on invaluable ancient artefacts that could be taken by the government and presented in their museums. Nothing of it will go to Egypt back in the days as British empire was colonizing every continent possible. The proceeds or prizes dont go to indigenous people of Egypt Most of these historians and their documentaries omit to mention any of it or pay respect to the LIVING people of Egypt.

Those scam bags didn’t take all those Egyptians relics back to British!?

Government of British British Great Britain United States New York Identification must be recognised, paperwork must be completed, face must be equal, all rules by human-science, rules must be made with employees of Governments, Great Britain NY 🎉

...Worshipping ancient and brutal Egyptian dictators, beautiful.

Egyptian people now converted cheristan an muslim don't call tham Egyptian plz🙏

Ruined by Dan Snow as usual, always over the top presentation

the host is annoying, emphasizing every three words... very clunky presentation... it doesn't feel very scientific... more like a play about an archeologist... sort of weird, especially with the cloying music...

“Anubis the jackal god”…… Get a grip and stop tripping over your own ignorance. (Conspiracy)

Fraud story unfortunately like so many others
