King Tut's Shocking Origins + Other Amazing Secrets of Ancient Egypt 😱 Smithsonian Channel

I can do ancient Egypt all day,everyday

I love ancient Egypt. I have been planning to become an archeologist or an Egyptologist since I was a fourth grader. I’m almost through high school, just one more year!

its been thought for many years that everything in tuts tomb were not actually his , this was his mothers tomb prepared for her for when she died , however due to how suddenly tut died he was placed inside his mothers tomb because there was no time to have a tomb built for him , tombs take years to build and fill , and since tut was a young man when he passed he had not started his tomb build yet .

Or maybe the stillborn children were placed in dads tomb to accompany him, simply because he was daddy. Why would that be shocking?

As a shut-in, disabled vet I want to say how much I appreciate your fine programs. I love studying history and it's channels like yours that help bring the classroom to my bedside. Thank you for producing these thought-provoking programs!

I'm now 75. I've been fascinated by ancient Egyptian documentaries and historical stories. There's been so many new discoveries in my lifetime, I wish that I could somehow see what will be found out after I'm gone! Maybe I will 🙄😏.

Since this show was made, it is now known that the tomb for Tut was orginally made for Ay, and that Ay comandeered the tomb originally intended for Tut. You need to see the tomb of Ay to see what Tut was supposed to have been interred in.

I use these documentaries as my lullabies

I LOVE Egyptian history

on a separate note, as far back as I can remember, as a little girl, I was always fascinated and anxious to see the mummies in the Field Museum in Chicago - I can still "smell" the distinct smell where the mummies were ! I was always amazed and inquisitive about them, ancient Egypt, and of course, Cleopatra !

I've just obsessed with this....🥰 The history of Egypt is amazing! I wanna be a egypthologist ❤️ Wish me luch👍👍

I love documentaries especially the ones about ancient Egypt

Wow, we love these type of shows. Very very good

Egypt is a fascinating country to explore. Just sitting on the bottom stone of a pyramid and really feeling it. That was placed there in the 26th century BC. Mind blowing

Hardly surprising that Tuts parents were brother and sister. It was extremely common for royal marriages to be between siblings thus protecting the royal blood line.

I was one of thousands who stood in line for six hours to see the King Tut exhibition at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC more than 4 decades ago. The mystique of Egyptian civilisation is a powerful force.

I have a love-hate relationship with this kind of things, The tombs were not meant to be opened nor touched ever again after they buried Mr Tut, or any of them, important characters. I believe nobody wants to have their tombs open, have their things being taken away and being disturbed while dead. We can see clearly that they tried to build walls and more wall for (stealers or this kind of people who wanted to take the pharaohs out of their tombs) to get tired or distracted and leave the mummies where they were and just go away. But they kept digging until they took everything out. And it kinda makes me mad. BUT on the other side, I enjoy learning all these details like, male pharaohs tombs have a left turn and females pharaohs tombs have a right turns, etc. That's my humble point of view... :)

This appears to be a collection of incomplete segments from films appearing on TV channels. Lots of questions, few answers.

If I never knew my daughters in life and I still knew I had a chance to know them in death, I’d definitely give it a shot. Don’t know how they could protect him on his journey? Maybe they were the first mini Cain Grasshoppers.

What mess me up is how the original discovery all the earlier findings they were extremely dark ,to now how they look white ?
