EGYPT: Nile Cruise & Ancient Monuments (Luxor, Aswan, Giza)
Impression of Egypt along the Nile. More videos of the 7-day Nile Cruise:
Egyptian civilization have depended on the river Nile since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along the Nile valley north of Aswan. Silt deposits from the Nile made the surrounding land fertile because the river overflowed its banks annually. The Ancient Egyptians cultivated and traded wheat, flax, papyrus and other crops around the Nile. The Nile was also a convenient and efficient means of transportation for people and goods. Nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along river banks.
The Nile was an important part of ancient Egyptian spiritual life and considered to be a causeway from life to death and the afterlife. The east was thought of as a place of birth and growth, and the west was considered the place of death. Thus, all tombs were west of the Nile, because the Egyptians believed that in order to enter the afterlife, they had to be buried on the side that symbolized death.

For more detailed information about each monument see the description of each individual video. Except for:
The Colossi of Memnon (51:16) are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Dynasty XVIII. For the past 3,400 years (since 1350 BC), they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. Two shorter figures are carved into the front throne alongside his legs: these are his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwiya. The side panels depict the Nile god Hapy.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (55:30), known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo-Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.
Part of the collection will be moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum set to open in 2020. It will house Tutankhamun's complete collection of between 4000 and 5000 artefacts, many of which are undergoing restoration and have never been displayed; the vast collection we have viewed at the old museum represents only about a third of the whole. The Grand Egyptian Museum is located on 50 hectares at Giza, two kilometres from the Grand Pyramids. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo will remain open.

Excerpt of Full Golden Matrix Piece
Narrated by Debra McCall
The Golden Matrix trip to Egypt and Turkey was the third in a series of Ross School Winter Intersession trips. The purpose of these trips was to explore and document the preservation and transfer of knowledge, goods and culture from ancient Greece and Rome to Byzantium, through the translation schools of the Middle Ages in Baghdad, Cordoba, Paris and Sicily and culminating in the Florentine Renaissance. Students are developing Ross Spiral Curriculum learning resources for Grades 5-9 and assisting in the creation of a high school elective on the Golden Matrix. The Golden Matrix project is sponsored by Ross School founder, Courtney Sale Ross.

The Secret of The Great Pyramid: Khufu Revealed Ancient Egypt History Documentary
The Secret of The Great Pyramid: Khufu Revealed (Ancient Egypt History Documentary)
4500 years ago, a civilization that knew nothing of iron tools, wheels or pulleys built the Great Pyramid of Khufu. For centuries, its construction remained an unsolved mystery. But recently, a French architect disclosed a revolutionary theory: the pyramid may have been built from the inside out. Using the most advanced scientific 3D technology, Jean Pierre Houdin tested and re-enacted the construction of Khufu's tomb. He believes that an internal spiral ramp is still there.... just waiting to be found.
Combining scientific investigation, magnificent CGI and re-enactments, this film will unveil the true genius of the ancient Egyptians. How Khufu's Horizon -- as Egyptians used to call the pharaoh's final resting place -- was rediscovered, opened, analysed and measured, etc. How all the previous research, theories and mistakes enabled Jean-Pierre Houdin to design this unique re-constitution of its construction.

MISSING PYRAMID CAPSTONES FOUND!? INSTANBUL! on old drawing!
It appears the pyramid capstones were last seen in Istanbul/Constantinople on this old photo. Don't think anyone has noticed this before.
BACKGROUND:
Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire (East Roman Empire centred on the city of Byzantium.) Though they would come to call themselves Romans (Romania), they spoke Greek and Western Europe would set up their own Roman Empire (Charlemagne/Germany). Constantine referred to this as NEW ROME, but it eventually took on his name. This city was the scene of many 'Triumphs'. A Triumph was a victory parade through a Byzantium, carrying spoils of war. It seems that ARCHITECTURAL WONDERS were placed in the centre of the Hippodrome, for the crowd to gaze at, marvelling at the strength and size of the EAST ROMAN EMPIRE.
Among them, we know there were:
* Statues of Porphyrios (a famous charioteer)
* The Tripod of Delphi.
* A Stella of Thuthmosis III
*Serpent Column, cast to commemorate victory of Greeks over Persian Empire in 5th century BC.
* The Walled_Obelisk, A column built by an unknown Romanian Emperor, it was covered in plaques commemorating the victories of Emperor Basil I. These were removed by Venetian crusaders after the sack of #Constantinople in 1204. This was a furious assault, everything being taken and melted down, possibly including whatever was left over from antiquity.
*And now... possibly, THE THREE #GIZA #CAPSTONES, to show off the power of the Empire, and their lordship over Egypt.
From Wikipedia, the description of the monuments is contained in an ancient text:
Parastaseis syntomoi chronikai (Greek: Παραστάσεις σύντομοι χρονικαί, brief historical notes) is an eighth- to ninth-century[1] Byzantine text[2] that concentrates on brief commentary connected to the topography of Constantinople and its monuments, notably its Classical Greek sculpture, for which it has been mined by art historians, in spite of its crabbed and elliptical Greek, full of solecisms, which has made interpretation ambiguous.[3] Though it is virtually the only secular text from the Byzantine age of eclipse that preceded the Macedonian Renaissance, surviving in a single manuscript, its modern commentators have not esteemed it highly: Alan Cameron[4] found it so stuffed with such staggering absurdities and confusions (especially where Constantine is concerned) that it is seldom worth even attempting to explain them, much less sift out the few grains of historical fact behind them. A reviewer of its modern edition even called it the Byzantinist's Historia Augusta.[5] Classicists have been frustrated in not being able securely to identify in Parastaseis the great sculptures of Antiquity that had been removed to Constantinople by Constantine the Great and his successors, and which continued to represent continuity with the classical tradition by their prominent presence in Constantinople's public spaces....
IF anyone has any further info or access to the text, would be much appreciated in solving this mystery!

7 Wonders of the Ancient World: The ORIGINAL List!
The original Seven Wonders of the World or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is a list of extraordinary constructions of classical antiquity given by various authors in guidebooks and poems popular among ancient Hellenic tourists. Although the list, in its current form, did not stabilize until the Renaissance, the first such lists of seven wonders dates back from the 1st-2nd century BC. The original list inspired innumerable versions throughout the ages, often listing seven entries. Of the original Seven Wonders, only one - the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest of the ancient wonders - remains relatively intact. The Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, the Temple of Artemis and the Statue of Zeus were all eventually destroyed. The location and ultimate fate of the Hanging Gardens are unknown, with speculation that they may not have existed at all.
The Greek conquest of much of the known western world in the 4th century BC gave Hellenistic travellers access to the civilizations of the Egyptians, Persians, and Babylonians. Impressed and captivated by the landmarks and marvels of the various lands, these travellers began to list what they saw to remember them.
Instead of wonders, the ancient Greeks spoke of theamata (θεάματα), which means sights, in other words things to be seen (Τὰ ἑπτὰ θεάματα τῆς οἰκουμένης [γῆς] Tà heptà theámata tēs oikoumenēs [gēs]). Later, the word for wonder (thaumata θαύματα, wonders) was used. Hence, the list was meant to be the Ancient World's counterpart of a travel guidebook.
The first reference to a list of seven such monuments was given by Diodorus Siculus. The epigrammist Antipater of Sidon, who lived around or before 100 BC, gave a list lists seven such monuments, including six of the present list (substituting the walls of Babylon for the lighthouse).

A statue is a sculpture representing one or more people or animals (including abstract concepts allegorically represented as people or animals), normally full-length, as opposed to a bust, and at least close to life-size, or larger. A small statue, usually small enough to be picked up, is called a statuette or figurine.
The definition of a statue is not always clear-cut; equestrian statues, of a person on a horse, are certainly included, and in many cases, such as a Madonna and Child or a Pietà, a sculpture of two people will also be.
Statues have been produced in many cultures from prehistory to the present; the oldest known statue dating to about 30,000 years ago. The world's tallest statue is over 500 feet.
Many statues are built on commission to commemorate a historical event, or the life of an influential person. Many statues are intended as public art, exhibited outdoors or in public buildings. Some statues gain fame in their own right, separate from the person or concept they represent, as with the Statue of Liberty.
Ancient statues often survive showing the bare surface of the material of which they are made. For example, many people associate Greek classical art with white marble sculpture, but there is evidence that many statues were painted in bright colours. Most of the colour was weathered off over time; small remnants were removed during cleaning; in some cases small traces remained which could be identified. A travelling exhibition of 20 coloured replicas of Greek and Roman works, alongside 35 original statues and reliefs, was held in Europe and the United States in 2008: Gods in Color: Painted Sculpture of Classical Antiquity. Details such as whether the paint was applied in one or two coats, how finely the pigments were ground, or exactly which binding medium would have been used in each case—all elements that would affect the appearance of a finished piece—are not known. Richter goes so far as to say of classical Greek sculpture, `All stone sculpture, whether limestone ir marble, was painted, either wholly or in part.
Medieval statues were also usually painted, with some still retaining their original pigments. The colouring of statues ceased during the Renaissance, as excavated classical sculptures, which had lost their colouring, became regarded as the best models.
The Lion man from the Swabian Alps in Germany is the oldest known statue in the world, and dates to 30,000-40,000 years ago. The Venus of Hohle Fels, from the same area, is somewhat later. Throughout history, statues have been associated with cult images in many religious traditions, from Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome to the present.
Egyptian statues showing kings as sphinxes have existed since the Old Kingdom, the oldest being for Djedefre (c. 2500 BC). The oldest statue of a striding pharaoh dates from the reign of Senwosret I (c. 1950 BC) and is the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. The Middle Kingdom of Egypt (starting around 2000 BC) witnessed the growth of block statues which then became the most popular form until the Ptolemaic period (c. 300 BC).
The oldest statue of a deity in Rome was the bronze statue of Ceres in 485 BC. The oldest statue in Rome is now the statue of Diana on the Aventine.
The wonders of the world include several statues from antiquity, with the Colossus of Rhodes and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Ancient Egyptian Obsession
Egyptologist Bob Brier discusses why Egyptian history and culture continue to fascinate so many people. His chronicle of Egyptomania covers a surprisingly wide swath, from Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, to Hollywood films, novels, and dime-store kitsch.
