Karnak, El Templo Más Grande de Egipto | EGIPTO #2

God, it's Min, who has the pen. It's a new day and we're starting to visit everything. It's seven o'clock in the morning. We woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning. So we slept about four hours. It's been pretty rough, really. But good, it's much better. How lucky you are to have a pet. The one with the fly. We are making our first visit to Luxor. That is the temple of Karnak. We're here in the patio. I've got access to the temple. And we're going to visit a few things here. Basically, all the visits during the whole week Se basan en templos y tumbas. This is the first time I've seen you. And this is because here in Egypt It's very important. What is beyond, More than what life is on earth. For them, for what the Egyptians were, All the life on earth It was like a step before eternal life. Entonces, all my life was preparation for that later life. This would mean that all their houses, Palacios y tal where vivían They were all made of adobe, the material is very weak, That was, therefore, basically functional to be able to live and then There's no trace of that. And what do you care? That was a Los Templos, That's where they worshiped the gods. to have a good life later, You and the tombs, Thank you for the tombs. Because it was like keeping, right? That is eternal life. Entonces, all these monuments, Both tombs and temples, Because they were made of stone, Very good materials for resistance. And then now, please, One of these examples is the temple of Karnak, He was the greatest in the world. It took 3,000 years to build. More than 80 pharaohs had to live to see that it's completed. You're 80% not there. The sea, has been destroyed by erosion Crecidas del Nilo and these things. Then what we'll see That's the 20% that's left. But as you've seen on the maquette, Because it was a huge temple. O sea, porque basicamente, you know, Luxor was the ancient capital of Egypt. It's impressive all this, o sea, a ver. Everything that are the hieroglyphics in the stone. All these pieces, columns. I'm going to get a color, Mira. This is a color. Yeah, there are some that look like red paintadas and stuff. Then, in this high part, The capital was this, Luxor, the ancient Thebes, What does it mean literally? The city of 100 entries, The 100 doors, They were the entrances to the city. This temple was built by the Pharaohs And every time there was a Pharaoh, I was adding different things, right? Since columns in different temples, inside the compound. Then that's why it's so huge. Because for 3,000 years it didn't stop building. And adding things. If you see the walls, You see it's full of hieroglyphics, right? The typical movie stars, It's impressive to see them in person. See, there's some that are super deep. And only the Pharaohs had the right to be grabbed In the wall, right? The common people. And, in fact, a this zone They couldn't access what's in a pie. O sea, only could come here the reality, The Ancient Pharaohs. And it's funny because you see here in the wall There is a Pharaoh, a god, What is it, Min? What's the matter? The sea, which is engraved with the pen-rectum. Well, there was no god. It was a normal man. But what happened is that when I was going to go to war against another civilization, Stay here, He was alone. Because it was so bad. Well, when the people won the war, They came back afterwards. They found that Min had left her pregnant. To all the women in the area. And then they condemned him to be killed publicly in the plaza When I was going to kill him A priest appeared and said no, I didn't kill him because what I had done was I was very sick, I was very ill. That while the people were away He had managed to get all the women pregnant, I really had a merit for what I had achieved. So instead of killing him, What they did was worship him and make him a god. And as punishment for what they did is They'll take away an arm and a leg, That's why the image that's on sale here, Both limbs are missing. The figures that appear at the entrance, These sculptures are the typical sphinxes, They have a head of ram Because in every region of Egypt there were different gods. In total in Egypt, in the ancient Egypt, There were over 600 gods depending on the area. And in this case here in Luxor, the ancient Thebes, As the capital, these were the most important. Here the local god was Amon And Amon was represented with the head of a ram, That's why all the sphinxes are at the entrance. They have a ram's head. Originally there were more than 120, But now there are only 40. In this room only they had access a dos personas en el antiguo Egipto faraónico, a two people in the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs, Who was the Pharaoh himself and the high priest, They came here to pray to their gods. And ask them things for themselves and for the pueblo. This lake is here that is inside The temple of Karnak is the only lake It's preserved from all of the Egyptian pharaohs. It was a sacred place where they used to come The priest and the Pharaoh before you go A place he taught before. Come here and bathe in the waters. They were sacred and then they went where... They're purified. They purify themselves and then they go wherever they go. I'm going to ask Amon for things. They're here, giving the scarab a whirl. Because it's supposed to be seven turns. In the clockwise direction How that helps you in your love life is. Here you see, there are several obelisks. That's the principal, right? Yes, the most important of all. The most impressive. They were unique pieces, they were monoliths, O sea, they were unique pieces. El más alto did it to the daughter, What the other did. But I can't remember the number right now. And that, were monolithic pieces, Other, including glass And in fact they found papyri In those who pretended to make two columns These are of gold macizo. No, they haven't found each other, I don't know if they were... O sea, that was the richest civilization The whole world, the ancient Egypt. In fact, I haven't seen it now because Everything was looted, but There were doors with gold plates, Maderas de oro, where rezaban también They had a lot of gold. If you're from the entrance, of the entrance, median 19 metres, It was also gold. And these monoliths would want to do Two of gold, then I don't know. Los Saquearon or what was an idea They died before they could realize it. But, oh sea, they had the gold to be able to do them, porque imaginaros Do that with 20 meters of gold. The Pharaohs, who see here the sculptures, I knew if they were alive or dead. on the basis of certain characteristics The statue. Then, the differences were that To know if they were... When did the statue. Then, to know if they were alive or dead The main characteristics were First, the arms. If they had them like this, as you see here The image, because that means something. They were dead. If they were right, towards the bottom, It meant they were alive. Afterwards, the pies. If I had one more ahead of the other It also meant that I was alive. And if they were at par, Also, because they were dead. And the last time... And the last one was la barbilla, The Barbilla apostisa. If it was straight, too. The beard is apostate. The barbilla. Then, if I was straight If you were curved, a tiny curve towards the inside, Because I was dead too. You also did... The family put them... Never got over the knees. It's that nobody has. In the entrance, yes, in the entrance yes there is one. And even if I left with the pie adelantado, Because he was alive. I suppose I can explain. More in detail when we go to the pyramids. But here you see a ramp What was the adobe, of the same adobe They used to make their houses and stuff. And with this adobe what they were doing were the ramps to build All these buildings. How the pyramids were built, How all those temples were built. It was a base for making adobe ramps. Until the height of a worker, One of the media, one of the seventy, because they were making the ramp. And I was placing the stones until then. When they did all that part They'd make another ramp to the next level. And so I was going up and up. In the case of the pyramids, as they had four sides, Because I was doing all four sides at once. And so they could build faster. But that's the feeling. Being here is incredible. In a movie. O sea, it's the typical thing Everything in the movies, the hieroglyphs and so on. But here it is... Encima you are so close to everything. O sea, it is all so well preserved. And see that only 20% is saved What remains of this temple. Because before I would have to be this spectacular. I'll tell you what... Everything is at its peak. It has to be bestial. As you can see, there were some workers who were there. As if I was rebuilding one of them. The statues, the sea, are little by little. Because I can do whatever I want. What's left of the temple. But it's impressive. What you see, what you see, It's so original. O sea, sin touches you.
