Great video, but the camera shake nonsense at the cuts is super annoying!
I think you miss spoke the assumption was not that the construction would go into the valley floor, but they encountered a construction area they assumed that they would not allow construction to occur on the burial site so they assumed the site was not at that location and looked other places when Carter was told this was his final year Carter out of desperation returned to that site and found the stairs and the sealed door. Carter then stopped the dig until his benefactor could arrive in Egypt
Why can't you use BC and ad a very good and smart man may the calendar that we have today and you can honour him by using BC and ad or you can just s*** on his name
Is Simon getting jacked or is it my imagination….

I've already found this in my studies years ago. However I like the accent and I have nothing better to do right now but listen. Who knows it might help in old age.
An interesting report would be if Nefertiti's taltak blocks probably spell that wrong who cares you'll figure it out. She and her king "can't spell it don't laugh you'll get old." Tried to Fundamentally change Egyptian society to a one God system. It's interesting. Her priest kings later became the levit priest kings.

The French translation of that book title *should* be "Egyptian Description" 😂 if only for how it rolls off the tongue.
When we say things like he "ruled over the greatest transformative era" and base that off inscriptions he himself or government establishment had carved, how do we know that those aren't the ancient equivalent of Biden or Trump tweets? That the last guy was ruin incarnate but I'm the great savior, meanwhile the rank and file notice little actual difference just like today.
