this was so interesting! it makes it 100% better that shes so passionate about it.
No way we can recreate pyramids now with technology we have now.
Give this lady her own Netflix show. She can be the next Joann Fletcher
Queen Hatshepsut – when I took a class in collage History of Ancient Architecture, someone asked our professor if spelling counted on the final exam. He replied – "if I can tell what you mean you will get credit, I once accepted Queen Hot-Chicken-Soup for Queen Hatshepsut."
Stoped after her explanation on how the pyramids were made.
people on twitter are so ignorant and dumb… (as expected)
It's hard to hear so many lies in such a short time. Reminds me of djt SAD.
I kind of wouldn't mind being paid in some amazing quality bread. Like a good baguette or bread bowls so i can have soup on my days off…. yummy!
She was genuinely fun to listen to.
The best ones are the ones who clearly love their job, and she most certainly loves hers.
I love her so much. She is so kind and knowledgeable. I thought for a long time I was going to be an Egyptologist. Turns out I have ADHD, I found the course to be very demanding, especially learning to live on my own for the first time. Its wonderful to see people who have made a career of it. I can hear the passion she has when she speaks, and she has obviously developed a gift for teaching. Respect.
I think she meant why do the pyramids match the astrological placement in Mexico.
Can we give her her own show??
"what's the point in preserving the dead" we literally put carcinogenic chemicals in our own ground water to preserve bodies because various think they're coming back to life with their bodies
So the Netflix show that J Jada Pickett Smith wrote and directed saying that Cleopatra was an African person was incorrect??? She was Greek and not African?
Wow who knew she was off her rocker??
That was quite interesting ๐
One of the best parts of these series is the chance to see, to "meet" these amazing people. She has such an inpiring mind!
Awesome one ๐ฏ (but — not a single word about CAT in Egypt๐ค๐ป)
I'm an egyption , I really like this video
Thank you
Dr Laurel is amazing, I had lots of fun watching this!
It's funny to see how people still believe that it's impossible to bulid pyramids with modern technology.
Weing of the feather be feeling like trying get your train ticket to let you through the gate xD
