1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

2
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

3
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,000

The name of the tribe is Amarna.

7
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000
The name of the tribe is Amarna.

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
That's why they have the title Amarna.

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
That's why they have the title Amarna.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
So Amarna is not ancient from Akhenaton time.

24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
So Amarna is not ancient from Akhenaton time.

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So what was the name during Akhenaton time?

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
No one asked me this question.

27
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
What was the name of the city during
Akhenaton time?

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Akhet Ahton.

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Akhet Ahton.

30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Akhet Ahton.

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Or Akhet Ahton.

32
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
The horizon of Ahton.

33
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So you know the ancient name?

34
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Akhet Ahton.

35
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
The modern name Amarna.

36
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Okay?

37
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
The modern name of the city.

38
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,000
The modern name of the city.

39
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The modern name of the city.

40
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The modern name of the city.

41
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
The modern name of the city.

42
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,000
The modern name of the city.

43
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The modern name of the city.

44
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
The modern name of the city.

45
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
The modern name of the city.

46
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
The modern name of the city.

47
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
The modern name of the city.

48
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000

49
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
The modern name of the city.

50
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
The modern name of the city.

51
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000

52
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000

The modern name of the city.

54
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
The modern name of the city.

55
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
The modern name of the city.

56
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
The modern name of the city.

57
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
The modern name of the city.

58
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
The modern name of the city.

59
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
The modern name of the city.

60
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
The modern name of the city.

61
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
If they dismantled every stone in the area,

62
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
why they kept the tombs?

63
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Why they defaced Akhenaten only?

64
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
They must deface all of it.

65
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
So the whole story of Akhenaten is still
under research,

66
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and I believe will be for many years.

67
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
I've been going to be a little bit like
Youssef in Papa.

68
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Where's Youssef?

69
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Hello.

70
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
How you doing?

71
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
We're drawing the sand, huh?

72
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Okay.

73
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Okay, I said we got the machine done.

74
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
That's the Akhen.

75
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Okay, now look, look, look.

76
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Akhenaten was told to come here.

77
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
And no matter what you've heard,

78
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
this was an ancient site that was known.

79
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
It was really, Amarna was the capital of
ancient Yemen.

80
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000
But the reason why he came here is it had not
been dedicated to any netter during dynast...

81
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
That's why he said he'd come into virgin
soil.

82
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
He just didn't want to come to any place that
had been dedicated to any netter.

83
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000
But it was known because he came here as a
child

84
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and was sent to the southern caves to
meditate with the masters.

85
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He knew this was an ancient site of ancient
Yemen.

86
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Anyway, you could even draw it better than
me.

87
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So, he came here to see the sun come up at
sunrise.

88
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And if you look right there, that area there,

89
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
that is what I drew in the ground.

90
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Just a mound going down like this.

91
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
When he saw the sun came up, it is the sign
Akhet, the horizon.

92
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
And he stood here and said, this is where I
make my stand, Akhetaten.

93
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
The horizon of Akhen came right up over
there.

94
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
And that's where the sun does come up at a
certain time of the year.

95
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
And he was led here to be at that time when
the sun came up.

96
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And he saw it as I drew it, Akhet.

97
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Akhetaten, the horizon of Akhen.

98
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
And that's where he got the idea.

99
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
That's all.

100
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
One night, one day, one day, one day.

101
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
That would freak them out.

102
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
That would absolutely freak them out.

103
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I think how worse would it be if it didn't
happen?

104
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
I mean, it's not that bad.

105
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
There is one person, she's not that bad.

106
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
No, I'm not.

107
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
I'm not.

108
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:45,000
One more time, Yusuf.

109
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Does any decoration sound?

110
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Has a great sound.

111
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Does anything sound?

112
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Does anything sound?

113
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
I don't know.

114
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Hi.

115
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:16,000
That's a whole different subject.

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
No, you're welcome.

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Yeah, my second wife is an antique.

118
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Keep going.

119
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Oh, no?

120
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:05,000
No, no, no.

121
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Although it's an antique, right?

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:32,000
It's cut out of the bedrock.

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
So what you're looking at is the nuked site

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
that was once the capital city of Akhenaten,

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
the city itself called Akhetaten.

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Akhetaten or Akhentaten?

127
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Akhetaten.

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
And this was the center of Egypt during his
rule.

129
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000
He built the city, supposedly from virgin
territory

130
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
or in virgin territory where nobody had been
before.

131
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
But what we've seen from these entryways and
rooms

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000
inside the solid bedrock is quite suggestive
evidence

133
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
that someone had been here before

134
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
and had done these rooms and hallways.

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000
So Akhenaten, being the clever man that he
was

136
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
and wanting to return the civilization to the
time of Aten,

137
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
which was the time of high consciousness and
high capability

138
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
because he was more or less at war with the
ruling people

139
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
who were called the Amun priesthood who
controlled everything.

140
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
So he wanted to return back to that time.

141
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
And so in keeping with that, he didn't choose
a virgin site.

142
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
He chose a super ancient site in which to
build his city.

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
But the Amun priesthood hated him

144
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
because he returned the belief system of a
single central deity.

145
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
He didn't invent the idea.

146
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
He brought the Aten time back, the time of
wholeness.

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
The Amun priesthood hated him because now
they had no jobs

148
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
and had no money, and they decided to erase
him from the history books.

149
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000
But luckily, we're here to witness his
existence,

150
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
his grandeur, and his enduring legacy.

151
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
You can get a job at the ministry of the
silly noises.

152
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Yeah.

153
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Oh, yeah.

154
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Want to get out there?

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
No, no.

156
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Yeah.

157
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And all this happened.

158
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
That's all going on.

159
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Oh, is it?

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Yeah.

161
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
As you can see here, the depictions,

162
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
they were continuing down, and then they got
split.

163
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Oh, yeah.

164
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Not much.

165
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
No.

166
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Ooh.

167
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
It's going, going, going.

168
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Anything to report?

169
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I'll find out.

170
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
I think I got that folder in me.

171
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I don't know.

172
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Might as well just roll down.

173
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Just see what else they keep.

174
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Don't want to.

175
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Okay, can you just come back from us?

176
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
I don't know.

177
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
I don't know this.

178
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
No one knows.

179
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
So our final stop at Ahataten,

180
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000
which means the dawn of Aten,

181
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
which means the dawn of the sun,

182
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:48,000
which was symbolic, a symbolic naming by
Ahanaten,

183
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
whose name in turn meant the shadow of Aten,

184
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
because there's a cleft in that mountain
there,

185
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,000
and that's where the sun rises at certain
times of the year.

186
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000
So as a young man, he came to this site,

187
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
and he saw the sunrise,

188
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
and knew also from the influence of the local
wisdom keepers

189
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
that this is where he should build his
capital city,

190
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
move it from the area of Thebes,

191
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
and set up a new city,

192
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
whose population in the course of six years

193
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,000
rose from basically zero to a hundred
thousand people.

194
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,000
And then the Amarna priesthood,

195
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
who were zealots and wanted their power back,

196
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
sent a massive force here,

197
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
destroyed Ahanaten and his family,

198
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
most likely including murdering Nefertiti and
their daughters,

199
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
killed Ahanaten, cut him to pieces,

200
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000
and spread the parts to the wind so that he
could never come back to life,

201
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000
and mow the ancient city down to nothing.

202
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
All we have is that left

203
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,000
of a once proud and powerful capital city of
ancient Egypt.

204
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Smile!

205
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Smile!
