I can't get past the blemishes on this lady's cheek.
It almost looks like teena bumps.
Interesting!
Imagine being one of the best architects in human history and becoming the the standard villain of any Egyptian mummy movie thousands of years in the future.
Much newb, many wrong, infinite incorrect.
Wtf with her face
You should depend on a movie. It would be nice if you, or someone else there would speaks it.
Yeah but heiroglyphics ain't speech yo
Germans sound close
Note to all Greeks: I know this comes as a surprise, but your letters can "still" be read by people.
Apparently there are still small ethnic groups living in Egypt today who speak a language closest to the ancient Egyptian language. One of these is an old Nubian dialect still spoken and the “Suuf”language according to Hakim Awyan who was an Egyptian citizen who grew up around the Giza Necropolis. He was also an Egyptologist.
A little makeup and neat hair, she may not look that bad.
her head doesnt match her body. this person COMES WITH A NATURAL CGI LOLOLOLOLOL
Is the accent accurate in the movie, I wonder.
Great microphone, Wired. You've certainly lived up to your name… (sarcasm)
Sounds way better than arabic. And i love arabic
Would be funny if they really had like a New York accent lol
Walk like an Egyptian. Lol.
Anack sun amun!

See the movie “Bubba Ho-tep “ it’s hilarious.
Amazing how people lie about who built the pyramids
There are different channels used to reconstruct lost speech. One of them is through poetry – rhymes tell you how the vowels are pronounced.
Thank Greeks once again.
Stop eating processed food u fool, ur skin its tellin u to stop, fool. Follow dr bobby price, soft bunny
I don't know how they knlw who the architect name was like who told them

Common Mummy W
What you don't get to hear about a lot is how Imhotep went to the best architectural school they had in the world at the time.
Wh.ite people and lies😂😂
Imhotep was an early Freemason C2750bce
possibly the Atlanteans were the earliest “brothers of the Craft”.
EGYPTOLOGIST
We wuz kangs
I'm Egyptian and sad that we don't speak our language😞 it's important that the world knows that we were forced to speak Arabic// language due to occupation😓 shame shame …
This is insane. I know this woman. She’s the mom of a girl I grew up being friends with😭😭😭
You are European.
There is absolutely no definitive evidence that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids at Giza. There are NO designs so it is wrong to state as fact that Imhotep ‘designed’ the first pyramid, in my opinion, based on the factual evidence and also lack of evidence, he most likely didn’t!! 😮🇬🇧🙏
…. I love how she glazes over conquest with a fuc*ing smile 😁🤮
So they just sound like general run of the mill Arabs then…🤔
She’s alllowed to have a zit okay
What is wrong with her face
Why she have herpes way over there?
White people man your in for a ride trust and believe
God. That is so cool.
This is really interesting I always wondered how accurate the mummy movies were. Great movies 1st and 2nd
They walked like The Bangles.
So you're saying to believe a movie that cared enough to be verbally accurate, but wasn't concerned at all about portraying an actual person accurately. Ooooookay. I guess then it would have been a documentary if it was completely accurate and not a movie.
Sounds like a mix of Japanese Arabic and mandarin
Wait, the mummy movies are linguistically correct?? That's so cool! 😭❤️ I LOVE these movies, always did
Not true,the ancient Egyptians were long gone before the Coptics existed, the Coptics language has nothing to do with the ancient Egyptians. 🤔
