This is the real ancient Egypt right here.
We have just been presented with a mummified child's foot, a baby's foot.
One of the guys here have found it in one of these homes.
It is, you know, you can see the temples, you can see the homes, Lamy.
But when you come and you come in contact with an ancient Egyptian, a piece of the real person.
Different feelings, I thought.
Yeah.
And the baby has like only four months or six months.
It's very, very small.
It's amazing.
Exactly.
This is the real ancient Egypt, right?
It's very touching.
It's very, very touching.
Very.
Elephantine is a strange mix of habitation, temples and tombs.
Around 2250 BC, Hekaib, a nomarch around the reign of Pharaoh Pepi,
had fought against the Nubians and became the pharaoh's chief trading officer.
Hekaib was revered by many, including his very distant successor, Sarinput.
Going back to that mummified baby's foot, it made me think about the people that lived here,
not the pharaohs, the ordinary people.
What was life like for them?
