00:00:13,310 --> 00:00:18,690
images today we're going to talk about pyramids mummies and Pharaoh's today

3
00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:28,629
we're going to travel to ancient Egypt Egypt is a country that still exists

4
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:34,310
today situated in northeast in Africa but what we call ancient Egypt is a

5
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:39,890
civilization that started more than 5,000 years ago and lasted for

6
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:49,820
approximately 3,000 years its origins commences with Pharaoh Nama also known

7
00:00:49,820 --> 00:00:59,820
as a scorpion king who in 3200 BC funded this country at the Nile's Bank the

8
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:04,439
River Nile is the largest river in Africa and was the most important

9
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:11,459
existing thing for Egyptians since they depended on its water to survive their

10
00:01:11,459 --> 00:01:18,299
whole civilization and cities raised from the rivers bank the Nile was so

11
00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:23,000
important because Egypt is a country surrounded by desert and the

12
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,120
cultivations could only take place at its shores but it wasn't only used for

13
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:38,439
agriculture the river was also used to fish and hunt they also used it as a great road to transport

14
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:46,680
goods or large stone blocks used for their constructions all of this was why the nile

15
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:54,359
was considered to be a god actually ancient egyptians had hundreds of gods some had a

16
00:01:54,359 --> 00:02:02,519
human's body and an animal's head like goddess bastet who had a lion's head or god anubis

17
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:10,439
and his jackal head but the most important of all was ra god of sun who had a falcon's head

18
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,080
the pharaohs were ancient egypt's kings there were many pharaohs over 3 000 years

19
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,840
But the most famous one was Tutankhamun.

20
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:28,800
Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death,

21
00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,659
and therefore they were buried with their belongings,

22
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,000
furniture, vases, clothes, and even food.

23
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,500
They believed that this way these things could be used in the next life.

24
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:43,800
As pharaohs had the greatest power,

25
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,520
they wanted to have the best tombs, and they got them.

26
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:52,360
These tremendous pyramids were built for pharaohs' tombs.

27
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Inside them there are many tunnels, chambers and secret passageways.

28
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:05,520
When they died, pharaohs and some noblemen's bodies were mummified to preserve their bodies after death.

29
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520
These are the famous mummies.

30
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:17,520
Mummies were placed in a sarcophagus, luxurious coffins that were covered in beautiful drawings and hieroglyphics.

31
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:25,099
hieroglyphics were the mysterious egyptian writings their meaning was a mystery for

32
00:03:25,099 --> 00:03:32,020
thousands of years but thanks to archaeologists we can translate them and partly understand what

33
00:03:32,020 --> 00:03:40,639
they want to say the truth is everything in ancient egypt's circle fascinates me

34
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:47,840
you already know that discovering the past makes us understand the present and improve the future
