Is Abu Simbel the only site to be moved and saved this way? Would be interesting to learn if there are others. We have lists of the lost. Maybe a list of the saved?

Many years ago I was taught that Asian tea cups have no handles for a reason. If the cup was too hot to hold then the tea was too hot to drink. Ancients are wise. 😊😊😊

@rhondadortch5321It's not necessary to say BCE as the term BC already implies it's a time frame based on the belief in Christ. Can we stop appeasing these whining liberals please

@mateuszgedas5235Your creativity is inspiring.
@khoi-h6pAbsolutely Excellent

@sageseedsIf your thoughts are loud, hand them to the universe for a while. It has endless pockets for heavy things and it always returns them lighter by morning.
@thesecretofgalaxyFalling asleep smarter than I woke up 😴
@Nerdokai didn't fall asleep
@KnapselAfter hundreds of nights of scrolling through podcasts, history books, and science channels, nothing stopped me in my tracks like this video. When I heard about a 3,000-year-old wooden prosthetic toe—I literally paused. It wasn't just a piece of wood; it was a life reclaimed, a story of human ingenuity and resilience, buried under the dust of time.
Each record in the video felt like a door opening to the past—small things, seemingly insignificant, that told me about our species' creativity and effort to survive. If history is a mirror, this video made me feel like I was seeing its soul: tiny, broken pieces that awakened something much larger—a sense of wonder, a stirring in my heart, and the feeling that I am part of a grander story unfolding.
If you're someone who lies awake at night, lost in thought about the past, this isn't just a video to help you sleep—it's one to wake you up.
You put in a lot of effort, respect.
@AbdulrhmanSaferGreat job.
@sanderffunking4657This deserves way more views.
@SanNgo-r7kSo true.
@tdefrAmazing that Indus Valley was so hygienic and today Pakistan/India is a smelly💩hole.
@nevmat1595The gladiator diet is no surprise, they wanted to stay alive as long as they could. And the grains like barley is what works best with horses. They are pure muscle.
@nevmat1595I’ve never clicked “like” so fast.
