6 Secrets Hidden in Egypt's Most Famous Places

Egypt's most famous places are still hiding secrets in plain sight. Abu Simbel was cut into 1,036 blocks and moved 65 metres uphill to escape Lake Nasser, and twice a year the sun still lights its darkest room. Tutankhamun's tomb survived because it was buried under the rubble and huts of workers building another tomb. Hatshepsut ruled as pharaoh, was erased from history, and was identified in 2007 by a single tooth. A mosque hangs above Luxor Temple, Cleopatra's royal quarter lies under the sea in Alexandria, and a 30-metre void inside the Great Pyramid has never been entered. 0:00 Intro 0:35 Abu Simbel 2:00 Valley of the Kings 4:05 Hatshepsut's temple 5:50 Luxor Temple 7:18 Alexandria 9:08 The Great Pyramid Which secret should we explore next? 👇 #ancientegypt #egypt #history #abusimbel #tutankhamun #hatshepsut #luxor #alexandria #greatpyramid #documentary
