Seeing the Lamassu Statue Up Close at the British museum was incredible. Notice how it has 5 legs instead of just 4? that's interesting don't you think?

This is the kind of object that makes you stop and look twice. It’s an ancient Egyptian stone vessel, but look at the shape. Thin walls. Sweeping curves. Large open sections. A narrow central neck. And it all had to be worked from a single piece of stone without cracking it. Whatever tools they were using, the craftsmanship here was on another level. The question I keep coming back to is simple: How exactly were they making objects this complex thousands of years ago? (i filmed this at the Egyptian museum)

Isn’t it strange… If our civilization vanished tomorrow, almost everything we built would disappear within less than 20,000 years or so. But some of the things still standing will be monuments we didn’t even build. just think about that

Akhenaten was a weird-looking pharaoh. He's famous for abandoning Egypt's traditional gods in favour of a single deity, radically changing the religion, and for the unusual way he chose to portray himself. Unlike the idealised pharaohs before him, Akhenaten was depicted with an elongated skull, narrow chest, wide hips, and exaggerated facial features.

The Sumerian King List claims the first rulers reigned for impossibly long lifespans, before a great flood reset civilization. Tell me your thoughts on this magnificent artifact. Do you believe a ruler truly lived for 43,200 years, or has it been misinterpreted?

Did you know? Be honest? It's estimated that less than 10% of the general public knows the Sphinx has a tail. Because the monument is almost always photographed and viewed from the front.

I think this is a fair question to ask? If the mainstream explanation is correct, that these knobs were used to lift and position the stones, why don’t we find them on every block? Why are they on only a select few, while most stones show no trace of them at all?

Do you think the water erosion evidence proves the Sphinx is much older than we've been told?

Today, I stood before the most complete version of the Sumerian Kings List, which is in a museum in Oxford, England. It was fantastic to see it in person.
