😊😊😊😊
Thats because that's really Alexander the great and nobody has figured it out yet. Not joking. That's why there's an iron dagger and 9 layers of gold and also why the incision was on the side, something rhey did when mummifying mummies 600 years after tuts time. It's also why rhe death was sudden. And he isn't a child, alexander was 5'0 tall. And thats also why when they did a DNA test , it showed northern European ancestry. They say he walked with a limp? Alexander was stabbed in the thigh. Also was struck in the head during one of his battles.
Aapaa😊a0aq0😊😊
I think what surprises me the most is that there are reliefs of Tutankhamun portrayed as a warrior king when the reality is he was so physically crippled he couldn't have walked without a cane so it's highly unlikely he would have been able to stand in a chariot or go to battle the way other Pharaohs did.
My thoughts as well. He was so inbred and deformed, he could barely walk. I don't even know why they are entertaining this hypothesis.
Yeah. Could just be embellishments or propaganda. Edit: Or he can still be in the battle with numerous assistants and guards. This is the ancient time anyway, a leader not in the actual battle would mean they are weak and neighbors could just invade.
Think “bran the broken” iykyk… 😅
He actually loved racing his Chariots they think that is how he probably died from a chariot accident . He had a clubbed foot probably due to genetic mutations because his mother and father were full siblings. Back in those days it wasn’t unusual for siblings to marry they didn’t know the implications of that.
As someone who studied ancient Egypt in college and fell in love with it, I need to see these in person!!!
I'm not holding you back !!!!!
Google it and make a trip to Egypt to see the treasure. While you are young and healthy enough. For me, this will be the best I can do.
Did not study anything history in college, but I have always loved paleontology and archeology since I was a kid. But there is no money in this profession unless you become a big name. I would love to go to these ancient places.
Go down in history 😊
Ive had the privilege to see some of Tut's treasures in the old museum in Cairo. They were breathtaking.
I bet it will take a few hours/ days to see this whole collection.
No
There was a King Tut exhibition on tour in my hometown when I was a little kid. I remember it being the coolest thing I had ever seen, and it made me want to see all the great museums of the world.
same here but nowdays its expensive to travel so i may have doubts with traveling
@@jumbojumbo6866It has always been expensive to travel - what do you mean "nowadays"?
@@noma5050 nowdays is like a slang in my country similar to saying this days or current era
@@jumbojumbo6866that’s what nowadays means here as well. Travel is more affordable now than ever though. The expenses that accompany it have likely risen though.
@@Ethan.s.. since you said the expenses that account for it thats the reason for traveling to be expensive if those expenses increase the company has to spend more on maintenance
The Dagger talked about has been known as coming from meteoric Iron for at least 50 years. I remember reading about it when I was in college!
This is where I stopped watching. Iron from meteors was easier to obtain - why mine for it when it's sitting on the surface.
Their mastery of the craft was truly exceptional, transcending the boundaries of their time. Their skills were so advanced that they were able to create works of art that continue to inspire awe and admiration even today.
Ancient history of Egypt never ceases to stun and amaze us!
Harold Carter's greatest contribution archeology isn't the finding of the tomb of Tut. Rather it is his serious and meticulous attention to detail and respect for his craft. In the time before Carter, many so called archeologists were nothing more than grave robbers looking for treasure. The care the current generation of archeologists take to preserve and learn has a lot to do with Carter's example.
Archeologist ~ A grave robber with government permission, funding and a degree. Do not lie to yourself, a grave robber is a grave robber.
Imagine being king Tut, you live happily in the afterlife for 3246 and wake up one morning to see that all your stuff is gone.
Never thought of that. How heartbreaking for him. He must feel totally worthless.
"where did I leave my dagger", the old version of the "where did my keys and phone go" in the afterlife
Such splendid treasures for just a so-so pharaoh. Just imagine what had been laid with the great ones like Ramses II. Such a shame most tombs had been looted.
I vividly recall coming face to face with some of these treasures, when they were on tour in Western Canada in the early 60's. I remember, as a 10-year-old thinking that I should feel warm, being so close to that much glowing gold!
Maybe that is why GOLD is so popular to own, and wear.
I was there 6 wks ago. The huge museum is not open yet, King Tut is still at the wonderful old Cairo museum, which is a joy.
Is he moving to the GEM? If he moves,what will become of the Cairo museum ?

Thank you so much
i strongly doubt he was some warrior king. id bet he was just depicted this way because thats how he wanted his people to see him (or the objects didnt belong to him which is a pre-existing theory). theres stronger evidence that he had severe birth defects and that he was a fairly insignificant pharoah and died unexpectedly quite young
I believe he is a warrior king. He has his army and fought the bad guy. expessically if it's what he thought/ believed was the right thing to do. Wouldn't that make him a warrior ?
I love watching archeology watched it for years never gets old.
The thing that im also glad to see is that Howard Carter is getting more recognition for his brilliant discovery. Not to forget also that if it wasn't for Lord kanarvon nothing would have been found possibly,.
We feel honored to have seen the Tut exhibition twice in San Francisco when it was traveling. The second time we took our kids. I don't think it made much of an impression on them as they were pretty young. but I felt a duty to at least expose them to it. I bought the catalog which I still have. It is very exciting to see the new research and especially the dagger found on Tut's body. The new technolgy is enabling so much new research. Thank you.
When i saw a notification for this, i was so happy! Love the ancient egyptian episodes!
Visiting Egypt this monthand its amazing full of history. Visited three museums the best one was Egyptian Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Full of mummies of kings and queens…. Fascinating country….
Arguing that properly made armour and and scenes of battle in the tomb means he was a powerful battle hardened warrior is hugely flawed, indeed spurious. Of course the armour would be top knotch and the scenes would portray conquest. The priests would not send Tut into eternity with just ceremonial useless armour. Its all part of the spin of ritual burial, and not documenting actual events. This doco may as well have been made by Erich von Daniken and is saying "it is true because we think it is".
yeah. this documentary is flawed and nat geo should know better. this isn't accurate history
'the greatest archaeological discovery of all time' was absolutely hilarious thanks for that
Right, I'm willing to bet whatever has been discovered in Antarctica is probably way more significant. Probably why it's off limits to everyone
@@Night_Bandit yeah probably just some animals bone or something. I didn't expect an empire exist there in Antartica 😁
This kid probably watches Dinosaur lmao
Excellent NG analysis. Changes my whole perception of TuT. The new information proves to me, that he was leading his army into the fight, the original way , pharoes were appointed to leading the Egyptian people. Rameses is portrayed as the military leader, in the Cecil B DeMille movie, The Ten Commandments. Great job on this documentary.
With all these artifacts for a minor king, begs the question if the tombs of the greater kings were plundered, where are ANY of those treasures
Also, why are all these artifacts in the hands of English speaking countries and not in Egyptian museum's? Just sad that the vast majority of these treasures were stolen.
Melted down after the guards left They're posts for the last time..
@@brettwilson3142 What do you mean?
@@LordKroc Just where do you think the Cairo Museum is ?
@LordKroc the valley had guards protection all the tombs.. I believe most of the robberies were inside jobs.
Thank you NatGeo, that was captivating!! :) ❤ from 🇨🇦
And that dagger probably had super powers in it. Fit for a king, I believe it was a gift.
See yep they just said it 👍⭐️
Lump of iron from space... nothing mystical .
I wish he had lived much much longer. This is fascinating!
i am back
Saw a king tut exhibit in 1962 when I was 8 years old at the Museum Of Fine Arts in Boston, Ma. I never forgot it. It was that impressive.
I saw King Tut exhibit when I was young in San Francisco will never forget it ✨✨✨✨✨
I'm jealous
This was spectacular. Thank you for uploading!
Beds were so important in the ancient Egyptian times.. They carries a huge secret and appeal that gives life a complete different meaning that others know , they carried a huge load of passion and aggression that combination of pleasure that you cant get or find easily ... Full of secrets..
I am envious
14:25: Why does the X-ray technician say the three major peaks are iron, nickel, and cobalt, when the labels on the spectrograph clearly show iron, MANGANESE, and nickel? (BTW, an alloy of iron, nickel, and other elements is called "steel".)
I find all of this very intriguing. I see why the "roaring twenties" was hailing Egypt related items, like jewelry, art, and more. Since the Tutankhamun tomb was opened, it has mind-boggling things coming forth, even to this day!!
I love and appreciate anything to do with archaeological studies. This is fascinating even with Steve Martin's tune in my head ha ha.
King Tut has made a mark on the world millennia after his death in ways he could never have envisioned! Do you think he would be pleased and/or amazed at how many people across the world have been studying his life and death? Even though he was king and ruler of Egypt, it seems it would be pretty amazing to think that one would have such an impact on the world nearly four thousand years after one's death!
I watch the ancient Egyptian king tutan khaman and I very excited from his history.
A fascinating video about Tut. Thank you.
Thank you guys for presenting such knowledge and mystery to everyone, we really appreciate it 💜✌🏻🕊️☝🏻🌷😍
Salamat jimmy sa magandang gawain lagi ❤ pagpalain kapa nawa ng DIYOS❤😊
This is a masterpiece. I recently read a similar book, and it was a masterpiece in its own right. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
I remember that iconic Nat Geo cover of King Tut's golden mask as a kid growing up in 80s Alabama.
I saw Tuts stuff in MOMO in NYC. 1979 was when I lived in NYC. "The Metropolitan Museum of Art organized the U.S. exhibition, which ran from November 17, 1976, through September 30, 1979. More than eight million attended." "The Treasures of Tutankhamun (tour) (1972-1981)"
I think that pharao still have had a real battlefield leather armor, even if he never entered warzone. It is the similar with today's rulers of the world. No one have only fake or ceremonial armor....but nevertheless the document was cool. Thank you.
Ancient Egypt history is formidable
The pharaoh curse “Mario 64 desert starts”
The meteorite metal dagger has LONG been common knowledge.
I wonder how capable Tutankhamon was to be an actual warrior. He had a club foot and numerous canes. He had deformities from being extremely inbred.
Just imagine if king tut could see these people 3-D scanning his chariot with that shiny Blinky thing with all the information going to this square box with the screen that we call a computer it would just blow his mind
The ancient Egyptians were so developed it's insane!!
I saw the museum tour in 1978 in NYC when I was a kid.
Really? My parents couldn't get tickets! Our local Macy's had a section with Tut-related merchandise, and my mom bought the official book that The Met put out. This started my life-long fascination with and love for Ancient Egypt. (And I still have the book.) :)
Narration is always awesome at Nat Geo
4:06❤❤❤
Hey crazy thought but maybe give King Tut his favorite magic space dagger back?
16:00 - still doesn't answer where the dagger came from. It didn't fall from the sky in that form, and the Egyptions didn't make it.
Wow, what a fascinating episode!
Paul Mercier is one of the best narrator👏
Just finished assassins creed origins exploration mode and im in love with this, my next travel will definitely be to egypt
A expectativa de vida era baixa, então as pessoas, incluindo Reis, tinham que atuar como adultos desde cedo. Então não espanta o faraó em questão ter sido um guerreiro jovem. Por outro lado, o fato de ter sido encontrada uma armadura e armas, ainda que com sinais de uso, não significa que foram usadas por aquele faraó. Podem ter sido colocadas lá como parte de um costume. A verdade é que tudo são conjecturas.
All this mystery, all the suspense, all of this academic investment and expertise, and not a single person can tell me if he danced like an Egyptian.
We saw many GOLD items displayed in EXPO 67 in Montreal CANADA- great to have shared with visitors- to see what Howard Carter first saw, AMAZING to see before the 6 day war,
I can believe that no one saw this before.
lol you know that commercial 'dollop of Daisy....do a dollop doo doo a dollop' - I always sing 'Tutankhamen, Toot, Tutankhamen' - thought I'd share - I think I'm obsessed with him:)
That's too funny 😅
Maybe that's right, he has died in the battle, so he was buried with his dagger as the last weapon he used..
Anytime I see or hear anything about King Tutt I automatically hear the STEVE MARTIN SNL Version. Classic!😅😅😂
One of my favourite Pharos of Egypt.
I hope that all of the artifacts that were discovered and taken out of Egypt are now being returned to the country they belong.
I agree! (I'm presuming that you are referring to all the treasures stolen by various Pharaohs over the centuries of Egyptian military expeditions to steal from the other folks of the region? Surely they have to go back to Sudan, Libya, Palestine, Syria etc?) 🤔
Probably the earliest doctors. That's why they have so many medical treatments and someway they could be resurrected. They should have some resurrection principles though modern science is yet to compete and understand.
Allegedly he bled to death while on a conquest. Tut is not the romanticised boy king of gold. He was a teen warrior armoured with all kinds of weapons defending ancient Egypt.
his remains and bones tells a different story 😂
could be battle wounds and not born.that way
A Tut's chariot - ankh - Amun was dismantled and built of wood and gold receptacle with relief representation 😅
Everything about Tut points to the son of Pharo during the exodus, pass over and Moses.
These documentaries should explain the meaning of Tut's name. It means Image Of The Living God Amun (Amen). It's pronounced Tut-Ankh-Amun. The way they always pronounce it makes King Tut sound like a comedy duo: Toot & Common.✌️😎
Were all pharaohs or many of them at least called tutankhamun if yes is there any other pharaoh who were called like that?
They did not enter “his attic”, and remove these items. They removed from his grave.
King Tut was horribly deformed. There have been recent x-rays showing how deformed he was. But, like King Richard III, it is possible he overcame his limitations as King Richard III did.
King Richard's only deformation was that he had scoliosis while Tutankhamen's problem was his clubfoot and highly possible he had Kohler disease, causing bones.necrosis. He probably couldn't stand still without a cane or only with somebody supporting him. Definitely not a warrior king.
@@natasjadirken5633 "Definitely not a warrior king." Only if you look at "all" the facts.
@@natasjadirken5633 false... you are just westerners who try to downplay Egyptian history... He went to wars.. He coudlnt be deformed as you are describing
Considering the size of the storage locker and the space all of the objects came from, they must have been truly crammed into the time tomb.
As amazing as this alll is, it’s just a little sad that someone had what was supposed to be their final resting place disturbed.
18:29 삼년걸렸다는데 아마 지금이라면 몇개월 안에 맞출 수있겠죠? 조각들 스캔 뜬 다음에 가능한 문양 데이터 넣고 ai로 돌리면. 암튼 대단함
How did the Egyptians obtain horses and train them? Did they ever ride them as well as chariot teams? What did they feed them?
i genuinely believe a SINGLE piece of treasure here can sell for thousands of dollars even. possibly even the price of a CAR
His knife was made of meteorite 💫💥
Truly incredible
I consider myself a very lucky person to see the mask ..i thank my father bless his soul .
Referring to the Dagger: I’ve read that a meteor hit the area near the Dead Sea 3700 years ago. Because the distance is only 280 miles (or 450 kilometers) away, could this have been the source for the iron in the blade?
many scientist have postulated that they had a working knowledge of steel and iron ore which the egyptology community refutes.but to date, no-one has ever been succesful at recreating anything egyptian using only bronze.
How long did it take to say the dagger was made from a meteorite lol
37:51 interesting imagery here
anyone else seen that boy mixed in with all that stacked up metal @251 It just don't look normal.
I can't believe they just wrote with a marker on the dagger, and probably all of these artifacts.
Orasyon treasure boss idol
So, the wheels of the chariots...made of wood? Yes? What about the rims? Metal? What kind?
I don’t think Egypt wants to go to war with any body
I bet howard carter never had a shovel handle in his hands his whole life.
That's insane that the items still look so in tact..: how!? After 3k years.??
These things were handled with extreme care upon being first removed from the tomb. They were carefully noted, and lovingly crated. Then carefully stored away and mostly forgotten. Some items were chosen for exhibition and were STILL handled by people who cared. If the people in charge care about what they are doing and love the items involved, the items will survive.
Gold lasts
They weren't made in China 😂
Because they were intact? 🤷 Those artifacts were hidden in the tomb all those years, noone touched them.
@@SandraNelson063 lovingly, eh? His pee-pee fell off and they could barely find it. They looked all over. I think they did find it in the end, but they accidentally disattatched his head, ten stuck it back on. They emasculated and beheaded the mummy. Lovingly...
what genius literally etched an inventory number on the dagger???
If Tuts reappeared today, he'd be like - what is wrong with you people?
Grave robbing is just a different form of Storage Wars.
He was 19. They are getting a little out of hand. Most interesting thing is the blade.
I was so into this until they started the extraterrestrial talk. Was waiting for Giorgio Tsoukalos to show up. 😂
Truly fascinating information, but the deliverance - and especially the background music - is way too dramatic for my taste
The dagger was probably not supposed to be removed from his coffin
❤It was a maritime dominion of the Arabs up to Italy, Sicily, a trade in Gaeta together with the Greek-Turkish empire with Henry (VI) and Andrea d" Oria 😊

The reason why his tomb was undiscovered for so long, was because his father tried to change the system on many gods to one god. Therefore, when he died, they wanted to erase his existence. His son, was also deemed irrelevant and so, no one thought about his tomb. The most amazing irony here, was that due to the new kings wanting to forget about his father, they tore down his temples, and used the stone as backfill to other monuments. Thousands of years later, archaeologists found all these stone carvings, almost pristine showing his life. That’s why, now they understand that pharaoh. Because of this, we got to see what was buried in the tomb of an unremarkable King. The mind shudders to think of what we could have seen, if not for grave robbers.
You are wrong,his chamber would also be where his father was put in,but his sudden death made it that they placed him in a chamber that was not even meant 4 him,his chamber was build in a hurry that even the paint did not last long like the others,it was not even fully dried so it began to wither.
