The first video is all about pyramids, and how they are made and all the passages they have inside. they don't know why there are so many passages. the vertical passage is called the grado which is the least visited area of the pyramid. The plates on these pyramids are shiny and make it look new. There was supposed to be a big stone that led into the pyramid. But there was a leader and he did not want to find the stone so he just made his own tunnel. When the leader got in there was no treasure that he found. In the pyramid there was a queens chamber. To this day the original entrance remains sealed.
The second video talks about a man that is mummified and to this day his body I still intact. He died when he was 20 in first century Egypt. This man was specially mummified and his heart was removed and not his lungs. His body was put in salt until all the moisture in his body was taken out. There were oils rubbed on the body and there were thick layers of resin that was spread all over the body. The resin helped to keep all the pieces stuck together. A mysterious pouch and bird also got mummified with this man which is unusual. They then wrap the body in a linen cloth and paint it and writ his name at the feet.
The ancient Egyptian civilization lasted from 3000 BCE to 332 BCE. The Nile river was a big reason for their success as a civilization. It provided them with soil that helped a lot with making a big amount of food with little amount of effort. The little amount of effort spent on food mean that they could spend more time trying to invent new things. There were a lot of pharaohs in Egypt and they all were thought of as gods an were treated like gods. That is why pyramids were so important for them to be buried in. At one point they started to make up gods that could not be seen and worshipped them. They still kept their pharaohs however and that helped their civilization as well.
