Time-Traveled to Ancient Egypt in 1300 BC — And Nothing Was What I Expected

What was life ACTUALLY like in Ancient Egypt 1300 BC? I traveled to the New Kingdom — Ramesses II is on the throne, the pyramids are already 1,000 years old, and somehow I showed up in a denim jacket at 45°C. In this episode I explore the Nile floods, the markets of ancient Thebes, life inside a mudbrick home, pyramid construction (spoiler: NOT slaves), temple rituals, mummification, and the science that was centuries ahead of its time. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 — Arrival: 1300 BC, Ramesses II, and a very bad wardrobe choice 1:20 — The Nile: why Egypt is just sand without it 2:40 — Ancient Egyptian market: bread, beer, and garlic as currency 4:10 — Interview: a pyramid worker tells me why he loves the job 5:30 — Inside a mudbrick home (wooden pillow included) 6:50 — The pyramids were already ancient history here 8:00 — 2,000 gods, mummification, and the crocodile temples 10:10 — Medicine, math, and the calendar you still use today 11:20 — The hardest part about leaving 🗺 TIME SLIP VLOG — one historical era per episode.
