  1. I am surprised Egyptians are thanking him and not insulted at his pointing out extremism as if extremism doesn’t exist in the US among ‘white people.’ With gun control being so out of control in the US, he is probably safer visiting there than his own hometown!!

  2. Two years ago year, saying the same stuff they taught us in school. However, have there ever been any mummies found inside any of the pyramids? Are they really for burial Rick? I think you need to do more of your own homework as to what the pyramids are really for. Your pushing a colonialist agenda with your video.

  3. When they accepted Pharaoh as a god, they only accepted him as a law maker and ruler, not in the sense of a creator. We must understand this very well

  4. Interesting how he used the phrase 'very European' to highlight anything positive about the Egyptian cities, but for anything negative he says 'thorouoghly Egytian.' 😂

    For me the most interesting thing about Egypt is the people and culture. A country with 100 million people and a very long history of ancient civilisaiton and an endless series of conquest. The history lives on in the very people themselves. More so than old buildings or looted grave treasures. In fact, i think it is quite strange that it is acceptable to have your ancestros burial possessions and their dead bodies displayed in a museums for tourists. Especially the bodies, thats a big no for me.
