I'm really interested in the Ancient Egyptians, does anybody know any good documentaries about them.
About the pharoahs and the pyramids?


Thanks

Have you never seen the documentary, 'Stargate'?

I know an extremely good documentary on ancient egypt. The problem is that my link is in french. I'm sure you can fing the translation on you tube. (look at "revelations on the pyramids" or something like that)

It says that they knew the science of metrology and mechanical engineering in a day when they were supposed to live in caverns. Me and my friends speak about this documentary since we saw it. Egyptology is lying to us and there is something more important going on there.

By the way, they knew the meter, PI and PHI. I designed the Kheops pyramid on autocad and made all the mathematics, this documentary is insane.

edit: This is the link in english. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG2ZmG7bAAQ
You need to see it if you are interested in the science beind the pyramids.

I think the documentary Ancient Aliens is a pretty decent and accurate portrayal of some aspects of the ancient Egyptians.

No i havent. but i will look for it thanks

If i remember correctly. Ancient Egyptians fell with the rise of Jews with Moses as their prophet.

Actually from what I heard there was no actual archaeological evidence of the exodus taking place (no sign of the kind of trouble that would arise when your entire workforce up and leaves), although there were references to the twelve plagues.

You should all see the documentary I linked in post #4.

Hurry up, new links are deleted at least once a week.

Damn you beat me to it :<


OP there's an enormous amount written and produced on Ancient Egypt. Honestly just start searching around and see where it takes you in terms of interests.

It did happen, they wrote a book and made a film about it. There was even a song...let my people go!.

People don't lie.

What ?! There are things ppl still don't know about the ancient egyptians ?! With the knowledge being thrown at you from everywhere, I feel like I could lecture an actual professor about them.

[Kuniku]

the egyptian mythology was something i always found facinating as a kid. we have such boring religions now -_-

Post 5, that took a while!

There's no real point. Sadly, history is written by the victor. None of us will ever know real history.

History is not something based on immaculate neutrality. Never has been and people striving for that are usually not neutral themselves. So history is not about approximating absolute neutrality. History is mostly about collecting puzzle pieces even those coloured by ideologies, propaganda and lies. Because if there is a source then there is a piece of collective memory. The more pieces you have the more easily you can detect revisionism. It is however important to pursue history not as pointer for a morale compass for humanity but to keep track of human development, culture, language, religion, ideologies, philosophies, technologies, discoveries, inventions and human character itself. It also helps to remember and admire the works and deeds of people who have long passed.

Interesting, you're in Germany. Still paying reparations for inflated numbers and baseless claims (lampshades)?

Holocaust denial...classy.

[Tesclo]

Holocaust denial...classy.

Believes in lampshade theory, typical.

This is the EXACT reason why I said victors write the history books. The act of even questioning something is looked down on. And yet generation after generation of Germans are cursed by the action of a single man. To pay reparations FOREVER! And if I bring this up? Oh then I deny the entire holocaust, right?

That lampshades exist? Huh?

[Wildtree]

If i remember correctly. Ancient Egyptians fell with the rise of Jews with Moses as their prophet. They were stories in the Qur'an that referred to the ancient egyptians as the greatest doctors in the world. They have had a cure for Diabetes. but to me i consider them legends which we will never know. everything you will read won't assure you. perhaps you could go to a public library and ask about them.

hmmmmm....
My knowledge is a different one...
As far as I know the ancient Egypt empire collapsed due to natural disaster. Geological evidence points to an at least 10 years drought which basically destroyed all food resources, and resulted in a total collapse of the Empire.

The LIE was that Jews were turned into lampshades during ww2 that people still to this day believe. But it's for another thread.
