00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
many people learned in school that
2
00:00:01,719 --> 00:00:05,520
Christopher Columbus was the first
3
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,600
non-native American to step foot on
4
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,519
American
5
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,200
soil however a recent shocking finding
6
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,400
of a 5,000 years old Egyptian map that
7
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,160
accurately depicts America is telling a
8
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,640
very different story and might Force
9
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,600
changes to history textbooks how was
10
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,000
this ancient map discovered and how did
11
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,640
the maker get an accurate description of
12
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,720
America in this video we bring you the
13
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,039
egg that proves the pyramids are older
14
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,160
than we assumed and the 5,000-year-old
15
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:34,520
map of America discovered in
16
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:36,680
Egypt you have probably never heard of
17
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,559
the nagada culture and the Mysterious
18
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,320
Nubia egg however these two could change
19
00:00:39,559 --> 00:00:43,600
everything you have been taught about
20
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,120
history let's start with the Naga
21
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,719
culture this was a culture that thrived
22
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:53,480
in 4,000 3000 BCE in Egypt even before
23
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:55,640
the emergence of the Pharaohs this made
24
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:58,559
the culture a cradle of civilization for
25
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,359
ancient Egypt this time in history
26
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:02,359
brought about the emergence of early
27
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,920
settlement patterns and achievements in
28
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:07,240
crafts it was also the time that trade
29
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,320
networks started to get established
30
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,960
setting the foundational components that
31
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:15,000
evolved culturally and politically into
32
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:17,000
ancient Egypt according to Scholars one
33
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,119
of the most fascinating aspects of the
34
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,119
Nagata way of life was the rich artifact
35
00:01:20,119 --> 00:01:25,079
it yielded in fact these artifacts have
36
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:27,600
been very crucial to our understanding
37
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:30,799
of the Dynamics of Egyptian Society
38
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:34,520
religion and artistic works and then the
39
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,600
Nubia egg this was no ordinary egg apart
40
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,040
from being spectacular for the intricate
41
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,399
craftsmanship this singular egg has been
42
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,520
at the very center of a heated debate on
43
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:45,600
the origin and timeline of ancient
44
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,399
Egyptian civilization and also the
45
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,960
extent of the ancient Egyptians
46
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:54,360
knowledge of the Americas British
47
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,640
archaeologist malib cesil fth in 1907 it
48
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,600
now resides in the museum of Nubia in
49
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,200
South Egypt the Nubia egg dates back to
50
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,039
about 7,000 years ago and it is nothing
51
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,039
short of a miracle that it has survived
52
00:02:05,039 --> 00:02:08,959
it was Unearthed from a burial site that
53
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:11,039
has been associated with the period the
54
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:14,519
central Nile Valley was teeming with
55
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,920
early settlers or the very pioneers of
56
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:19,680
civilization the egg was originally an
57
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,080
ostrich eggshell coated in intricate
58
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,360
designs the patterns on the egg are
59
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,720
abstract and are what makes the egg so
60
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,400
controversial the egg has a depiction of
61
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,400
three triangles on opposite sides
62
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,920
these triangles have horizontal lines
63
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,480
stretching across them beside these
64
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:39,400
triangles is a thin snake and on the
65
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,239
other side of the triangles is a big
66
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,480
globule etching this is where it gets
67
00:02:42,239 --> 00:02:47,000
interesting many scholars have claimed
68
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:49,400
the triangles represent pyramids and
69
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,920
being three in number they resemble the
70
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,159
three major pyramids located on the Gaza
71
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:57,480
Plateau these are the Pyramid of Mena
72
00:02:55,159 --> 00:03:00,280
the Pyramid of kafra and the Great
73
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,959
Pyramid of kufu the snake is is said to
74
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,360
represent the Nile River with the Nubia
75
00:03:02,959 --> 00:03:07,120
egg being found in Lower Egypt there is
76
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,720
Little Wonder that some Scholars are
77
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,440
asking questions recall that the egg has
78
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,799
been dated to be about 7,000 years well
79
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:19,480
according to Modern belief the pyramids
80
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:21,640
are only 4,600 years old there is a
81
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,159
discrepancy of more than 2,000 years
82
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:26,159
between this egg and the pyramids so the
83
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:28,560
question is how did the egg come to
84
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:30,680
depict pyramids built thousands of years
85
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,560
after it was designed or could it be
86
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,439
that the pyramids are simply thousands
87
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,200
of years older than we have been told
88
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:39,040
some theorists have said the triangles
89
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,120
are nothing but rudimentary depictions
90
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,760
of mountains however it is clear from
91
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,040
the symmetry of the art and the
92
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,280
horizontal lines that the artist was not
93
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,920
trying to represent naturally occurring
94
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,920
mountain ranges mountains do not
95
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,959
naturally have clean lines moreover one
96
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,439
must remember the science behind dating
97
00:03:55,959 --> 00:04:02,400
the pyramids Carbon 14 dating is not the
98
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,360
best for dating Stone constructions they
99
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
are not even the most reliable when
100
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,959
dating
101
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,599
hieroglyphics in fact hieroglyphics
102
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:12,079
could have been added to the pyramids at
103
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:14,439
a later date perhaps when the pyramids
104
00:04:12,079 --> 00:04:16,400
were repurposed by the Egyptians there
105
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:18,440
have long been criticisms of the
106
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,160
conventional methods used to date the
107
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,919
Giza Pyramids there are even allegations
108
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,080
of evidence forgery one of these is the
109
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:29,120
controversy surrounding Colonel Howard
110
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,199
Vice it was this Colonel who claimed to
111
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,960
have discovered painted marks inside the
112
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:35,960
relieving chambers of the Great Pyramid
113
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,080
the name of kufu was found in these
114
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,600
painted marks and he was then credited
115
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,680
with constructing the pyramid this piece
116
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,080
of info was then used to date the
117
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,400
pyramid the problem however was that
118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,160
some researchers have speculated that it
119
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,840
was possible Vice made up these marks
120
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,199
perhaps to make a name for himself in
121
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,960
the field and secure his place in
122
00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,680
history this allegation has caused many
123
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,600
people to scrutinize the Colonel's
124
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,320
character and what it could mean if he
125
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,560
really forged the evidence on the other
126
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,759
hand are those that have provided proof
127
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,160
that the pyramids are about 8,000 years
128
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:12,440
old they also talk about the way the
129
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,960
pyramids align with some astronomical
130
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,520
phenomena that point to an older period
131
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,560
in history they also look for other
132
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:22,080
evidence that suggests that people of
133
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,360
ancient civilizations possessed the
134
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,919
tools and the skills required to build
135
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,919
such massive structures they point to
136
00:05:26,919 --> 00:05:30,280
geological evidence like weathering
137
00:05:28,919 --> 00:05:31,919
patterns
138
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:34,720
this line of thought has been explored
139
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:37,319
by Dr Robert shock a geologist and
140
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,479
professor at Boston University his work
141
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:42,000
on the Sphinx which has guarded the Giza
142
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:45,360
Pyramids for thousands of years centered
143
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,520
on weathering patterns shulk's curiosity
144
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,400
about the age of the Sphinx was sparked
145
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,479
when he observed distinct erosion
146
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,120
patterns that did not seem to align with
147
00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:56,240
what one would have expected from wind
148
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,160
and sand wind and sand are important
149
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,520
here because they are the main erosion
150
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,360
agents in Egypt's climate
151
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,400
the patterns instead tell a story of the
152
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,919
Sphinx being subjected to extended
153
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,599
periods of heavy rainfalls this would
154
00:06:06,919 --> 00:06:11,639
have caused deep weathering on the
155
00:06:08,599 --> 00:06:13,800
Bedrock made of limestone other sources
156
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,680
confirm that such climatic conditions
157
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,199
have not been experienced in the Giza
158
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,280
Plateau for thousands of years this
159
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:23,319
would mean the Sphinx probably was built
160
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:25,319
before the Sahara Desert again the
161
00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:27,440
erosion pattern shock identified on the
162
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:29,240
Sphinx's enclosure was vertical and
163
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,280
undulating which looked to have been
164
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,199
caused by running water other geologists
165
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:35,919
apart from shock have confirmed that
166
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,240
these features are proof of erosion
167
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:40,280
caused by rainfall this would have been
168
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,280
prevalent in the Neolithic subpial
169
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:46,599
period of 10,000 to 5,000 BC during this
170
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:48,919
period the Sahara Desert used to have a
171
00:06:46,599 --> 00:06:51,919
wet climate that supported rivers and
172
00:06:48,919 --> 00:06:53,919
lakes what this means is that the Sphinx
173
00:06:51,919 --> 00:06:57,080
and the Giza Pyramids could have
174
00:06:53,919 --> 00:06:59,039
predated the dynasty Egypt period there
175
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,000
are other writings that suggest older
176
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:03,759
dates for the construction of the
177
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,840
pyramids one such is the work of al-
178
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:08,680
mcrey al- mcrey was an ancient Egyptian
179
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:12,120
historian who contended that Pharaoh
180
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,319
kufu did not build the Great Pyramid
181
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,960
this historian ascribed it to a King
182
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:21,720
named Sid the twist is that al- mrey
183
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,039
linked Sid to the biblical Enoch Al mrey
184
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,759
claimed Sid was a ruler full of wisdom
185
00:07:24,039 --> 00:07:28,000
which enabled him to foresee that a
186
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,720
great flood would come he then ordered
187
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,680
the construction of the pyramid as a
188
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,759
repository of knowledge and as a
189
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,039
warehouse of the essence of
190
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:38,080
civilization this story is not strange
191
00:07:36,039 --> 00:07:40,400
to the pre-islamic North African
192
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,160
tradition that worshiped stars and other
193
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,879
objects in space they often embedded
194
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,680
these celestial bodies into their
195
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:49,560
religious and funerary practices what
196
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,479
this means is that the current method of
197
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,639
dating the pyramids could be a little
198
00:07:51,479 --> 00:07:55,680
more than guesswork there have been
199
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:58,800
questions as to why the pyramids appear
200
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,360
twice on the Nubia egg what if the
201
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,479
representation was a seasonal or Global
202
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,759
convention that represents the pyramids
203
00:08:03,479 --> 00:08:08,120
and the Nile River in the dry season and
204
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:10,159
the wet season this thinking is
205
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,879
supported by the fact that the Niles on
206
00:08:10,159 --> 00:08:14,520
the eggs are not of the same width which
207
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:17,319
would mean the changing volumes of the
208
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,080
river based on the season or Time of the
209
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:22,000
Year this could mean that while the
210
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Nubia egg depicts pyramids and a river
211
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,919
the inspiration for the design was
212
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,599
actually to depict The Changing Times of
213
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:30,960
the Year there is something else of note
214
00:08:28,599 --> 00:08:33,200
near the top of the egg and fans of the
215
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,719
lost city of Atlantis would love this
216
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,599
one the egg has several concentric
217
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:40,399
circles around a small opening at the
218
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:42,760
top these According to some Scholars
219
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:46,720
remind one of Plato's critias of around
220
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,480
360 BC in the literary work Plato
221
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,920
discussed the Atlantis with a brief
222
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,000
description that says making alternate
223
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,440
zones of sea and land larger and smaller
224
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,200
encircling one another there were two of
225
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,320
land and three of water which he turned
226
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,600
as with a lathe each having its
227
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,040
circumference equidistant every way from
228
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,600
the center could this have meant the
229
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Nubia egg was depicting the
230
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,320
civilizations of both Egypt and Atlantis
231
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,920
if it turns out there is any
232
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,839
geographical correlation then Atlantis
233
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,680
may not be so distant from Egypt perhaps
234
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:21,680
this decorated egg from thousands of
235
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:24,600
years ago can help in the search for the
236
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,959
ancient lost city of Atlantis if you
237
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,680
think that is shocking wait till we tell
238
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:31,200
you about paintings that could prove the
239
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:32,920
ancient Egyptian knew about the Americas
240
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,720
long before the Europeans started
241
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,360
sailing the Open Seas we are talking
242
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,360
about the paintings discovered in a
243
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,920
place that included the maps of both the
244
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,399
old world and the American continent the
245
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,839
place of the discovery was a site in
246
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:51,320
Honis referred to as nein in ancient
247
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:54,360
times to understand the background of
248
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,440
the existence of the map Honis was a
249
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,560
vibrant City that existed in pre-
250
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:02,360
Dynasty Egypt it was the religious and
251
00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:05,519
political capital of Upper Egypt and has
252
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,720
yielded many artifacts however none of
253
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:10,880
these artifacts are as significant as
254
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,760
the map bearing painting trained eyes
255
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,079
immediately saw that these paintings
256
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,959
were much more than decorative pieces
257
00:10:15,079 --> 00:10:19,680
because they include recognizable
258
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:22,200
continent outlines the degree of
259
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:25,399
accuracy of other geographic features is
260
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,279
also very high scanning the paintings
261
00:10:25,399 --> 00:10:29,760
for a few minutes will show you the
262
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:31,760
American continent how could the artists
263
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,959
have known to include the American
264
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,839
continent it simply has to be that the
265
00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:38,360
painters and the civilization they
266
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:41,079
belong to knew about the existence of
267
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,959
the continent or at most they must have
268
00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:45,120
had contact with the native people of
269
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:47,639
America what this implies is that there
270
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,880
were trans Oceanic voyages even at that
271
00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:52,519
time Millennia before explorers like
272
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,639
Christopher Columbus did the Egyptians
273
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:56,399
send explorers to cross the Atlantic
274
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:58,560
long before the time we have been told
275
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,920
that it happened did they have
276
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:02,800
substantial dealings with the
277
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:04,959
civilizations in America apart from the
278
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,040
map of America in these paintings there
279
00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:09,639
are maps of Europe that also amazed
280
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,959
observers with their level of accuracy
281
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:15,760
it shows the outlines of Europe Asia and
282
00:11:12,959 --> 00:11:18,000
Africa it even shows well-known features
283
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,360
like the Nile River the Mediterranean
284
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Sea and the mountain ranges of Europe
285
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,920
and Asia the map makers must have either
286
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,560
been explorers themselves or had access
287
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,040
to a database of geographical knowledge
288
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:32,839
which could have been accumulated over
289
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,360
the years through international trade or
290
00:11:32,839 --> 00:11:37,600
Explorations the map's artistic style
291
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,880
and techniques on the painting also
292
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,399
amazed researchers speaking to the
293
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,360
quality of their output they used
294
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:47,120
natural pigments and precise Line work
295
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,079
but perhaps their greatest achievement
296
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,240
is making us rethink what we thought we
297
00:11:49,079 --> 00:11:55,560
knew about the first non-native people
298
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,560
to set foot on American soil
