Summary

Hi, my name is Ben van Kerkwyk, welcome to UnchartedX. I'm a long-time student and fan of history. I've spent a lot of time throughout my life travelling to, photographing and filming ancient sites all around the world, and (more recently) interviewing and talking to many of the leading researchers and authors, many of whom are working to uncover the true origins of the mystery that is our past. I believe there is a need for high quality content that addresses the new science and new discoveries that should affect how we view the past, and to examine the contradictions that are clearly evident on ancient sites, and in our orthodox version of history. I hope you'll join me on this journey! Please consider the value-for-value model as outlined at https://unchartedx.com/support!LinksUnchartedX's website:unchartedx.com

What do you mean? It's April. What do you mean? It's April. What happened in March?

0:29.7

There we go. Time is ticking on. You know know I'm excited because this is the month for our

0:37.5

grand Egyptian tour number five and we're taking a nice group of listeners to the secrets of ancient Egypt.

0:46.5

And you know what makes this fun is that we start off in Cairo and we spend a day on the plateau looking at some of the

0:57.4

buildings there and there's some amazing megalithic buildings the Sphinx temple

1:07.6

and the pyramids themselves, and the surrounding area has all kinds of fascinating bits and pieces of history that we discover, we enjoy.

1:17.0

And so that is the kickoff, that's the 26th of this month.

1:22.0

God is coming up.

1:24.0

And, wow, exciting to go back.

1:27.0

You know, I have to mention this that I have been fortunate to run into some really great tour operators who aren't focused so much on

1:36.3

the Almighty Dollar.

1:37.7

They want to give back to the tourist, meaning that they find great locations.

1:45.0

For the most part, our tours are private,

1:47.5

meaning that we get to go to these locations.

1:50.0

Without the general public, you know, we go inside the pyramid when everyone's gone.

1:57.1

We go, I mean they shut it down at 5 p.m.

2:01.0

We go there around 7 when it's aired out. It's been somewhat refreshed and there's no line.

2:09.0

There's no line. I can't imagine going into the great pyramid, the Kufu Pyramid with the line of people.

2:15.0

That would be not only claustrophobic, but just, oh, a challenge because everything's staircases and down through the subterranean chamber, which is just a tube,

2:31.2

basically, a square tube. So yeah, it's great to do private visit and then we go to

2:38.8

Abidos and we see the OsySyrin unusual building.
