Des archéologues explorant près de la tombe de Toutânkhamon viennent de faire une découverte stupéfiante ! Ils ont trouvé une immense cité perdue enfouie sous les sables d'Égypte, datant de plus de 3 000 ans. Cette ville antique, que l'on croit remonter à l'époque du pharaon Amenhotep III, est incroyablement bien préservée, avec ses rues, ses maisons et même sa poterie encore intactes. Les experts la qualifient de l'une des plus grandes découvertes depuis la tombe de Toutânkhamon, car elle offre un rare aperçu de la vie quotidienne dans l'Égypte ancienne. La ville aurait pu être soudainement abandonnée, laissant derrière elle des outils, des bijoux, et même du pain qui n'a jamais été mangé ! Cette découverte réécrit l'histoire, prouvant qu'il y a encore beaucoup à découvrir sous les sables du temps. 🏺🏜️✨ Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00Researchers have discovered old artefacts very close to Tutankhamun's grave.
00:06It turns out that this resting place, supposedly reserved for the elite,
00:10is more like a common necropolis,
00:12sheltering a dozen wooden coffins dating from around 3600 years ago.
00:16Okay, I may have exaggerated a bit.
00:19These 11 graves were not exactly next to those of Tutankhamun,
00:23but relatively close, on the outskirts of Luxor.
00:27Recent discoveries in Egyptian graves
00:30provide valuable indications of everyday life in Ancient Egypt.
00:34And contrary to all expectations,
00:36it appears that the Egyptians shared many similarities with our modern civilisations.
00:41Women have worn necklaces since the dawn of time,
00:44and archaeologists have found a necklace of remarkable finesse,
00:48made up of 30 amethyst pearls and 2 agate pearls,
00:52as well as a pendant in the shape of a hippopotamus head,
00:55probably very popular at the time.
00:57Researchers have also discovered two copper mirrors,
01:00one with a lotus-shaped neck,
01:03the other adorned with the goddess Hathor,
01:06associated with heaven, femininity, fertility and love.
01:10These recent excavations on the outskirts of Tutankhamun's grave
01:14have revealed a striking discovery.
01:16For the first time in millennia,
01:18remains of the funeral temple of Queen Hatshepsut have been discovered.
01:23So try to repeat it 10 times quickly.
01:26In the end, forget it.
01:28Considered the second woman to have reigned as a pharaoh,
01:31this sovereign exercised her power with courage and wisdom,
01:34leaving a legacy as durable as stone.
01:37Her temple, buried for centuries,
01:40is now a precious window on an era marked by intrigue and spiritual fervor.
01:45Archaeologists have excavated more than 1,000 blocks of stone
01:48richly decorated on the outskirts of Hatshepsut's funeral temple.
01:51Few women have succeeded in accessing the throne in ancient Egypt.
01:55Nearby, another tomb has been discovered.
01:58It belonged to Djehoutimes,
02:00attendant to the palace of Queen Tethysheri.
02:02Queen Hatshepsut seems to have many more tombs,
02:05or rather assets, hidden in her sleeve.
02:07Unlike the pyramids,
02:09these tombs were directly dug into the rock,
02:12illustrating a unique approach to preserving the soul in the afterlife.
02:15The excavations have allowed us to exhume several fascinating ancient objects,
02:19such as clay toys, mummy masks,
02:22winged scarabs and a few amulets.
02:25Unfortunately, it is likely that many other artefacts have disappeared over the centuries,
02:30because less scrupulous visitors than the archaeologists
02:33have explored the site before them.
02:36There is much to be bet on that
02:38pillars are handcrafted on certain pieces of great value.
02:41However, they have left behind them
02:43some interesting remains for researchers,
02:46including pottery intended for offerings of bread and meat,
02:49as well as arches,
02:51suggesting a link between the owners of these tombs
02:54and the Egyptian army.
02:56Speaking of soul protection,
02:58it is much more essential than one might think,
03:01especially when walking on the outskirts of Luxor
03:03in search of buried secrets.
03:05You are not the kind to fear the curse of Tutankhamun,
03:09are you?
03:10Let me tell you what happened to those who braved it,
03:13but were not going to take everything at the foot of the letter.
03:16For years, some Egyptologists,
03:18in particular those who claimed to have fled from the paranormal,
03:21were convinced that a curse
03:23weighed on the discoveries linked to Tutankhamun.
03:26This belief took root in the brutal and inexplicable death
03:29of several members of the team
03:31who exhumed his tomb in 1922.
03:33Since no obvious scientific explanation justified these deaths,
03:37it was easier to attribute them to a supernatural force
03:41and avoid asking more questions.
03:43Yet it seems that this famous curse is only a myth.
03:47In reality, these deaths could be linked to the exposure to deadly radiation.
03:51But where did it come from?
03:53After all, if radioactivity was discovered in the 19th century,
03:56it is difficult to imagine that the ancient Egyptians
03:59had access to radium
04:01to illuminate the tomb of Tutankhamun
04:03in a disturbing light.
04:05So, what is the real explanation?
04:07It could be that toxic waste
04:09is at the origin of these mysterious deaths.
04:11High levels of radiation
04:13from uranium and other dangerous substances
04:16would have been trapped in the tomb for more than 3,000 years.
04:19Moreover, it is rumored that the funeral chamber of Tutankhamun
04:22would still contain today
04:24radiation rates so high
04:26that anyone entering it
04:28would risk developing an incurable disease
04:30due to so much exposure.
04:32And if this seems exaggerated to you,
04:34tell yourself that you could touch
04:36a level of similar contamination
04:38if you let the remains of food
04:40rot in the bottom of your fridge for a month.
04:43However, this radioactivity
04:45is not limited to the tombs of Tutankhamun.
04:47The search for Egyptian artifacts
04:49is clearly fascinating but just as dangerous.
04:52Many tombs of the ancient empire
04:54display abnormally high levels of radiation.
04:57Geiger counters have detected radiation
04:59on two sites near the pyramids of Giza,
05:01and radon, a radioactive gas,
05:03has been detected in several underground tombs in Saqqara.
05:06It is likely that the builders of these graves
05:09were aware of these toxins.
05:11Warnings engraved on the walls
05:13warn of an inevitable death
05:15for anyone who dares to defile these sites.
05:17One of the inscriptions warns
05:19that anyone who violates this tomb
05:21will perish from an evil that no doctor will be able to understand.
05:24Other formulas evoking the forbidden
05:26caused by evil spirits
05:28have undoubtedly reinforced the fear of these ancient curses.
05:31Since always, these warnings intrigue archaeologists.
05:34But an event occurred a century ago
05:36to revive the fear of curses.
05:38In 1922, shortly after the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun,
05:42Lord Carnarvon, who had financed the expedition,
05:45died in mysterious circumstances,
05:47as did many people who had explored the tomb.
05:50Arthur Wagle, a British Egyptologist
05:52present at the opening of the tomb,
05:54is also considered as one of the craftsmen
05:56of the myth of the curse.
05:58Irony of fate,
06:00he died prematurely in 1934,
06:02when he was only fifty years old.
06:04Some advance that his death
06:06could be linked to an extended exposure to radiation.
06:09Of the 26 people present at the opening,
06:116 perished in the next ten years.
06:14However, these disappearances are not all imputable to X-rays.
06:18The causes varied.
06:19Asphyxia,
06:20stroke,
06:21cardiac failure,
06:22pneumonia,
06:23and even poisoning.
06:25Sinister, isn't it?
06:27However,
06:28a man seems to have escaped this alleged curse.
06:31Howard Carter,
06:32the archaeologist who led the excavations.
06:35For some,
06:36his survival proved that this legend was only a myth.
06:39After his discovery,
06:40Carter published several books,
06:42before gradually abandoning archaeology
06:44for antiquity trade intended for museums.
06:47However,
06:48some think that the curse struck him in another way.
06:51A persistent rumor links him to Evelyn,
06:53the daughter of Lord Carnarvon.
06:55It is said that he loved her very much,
06:57but that she married another man.
06:59Desperate,
07:00he would have chosen to remain single until the end of his life.
07:03Another form of curse,
07:05more subtle,
07:06but just as cruel.
07:08Others have claimed that they had a relationship during his stay in Egypt,
07:12but that it all ended with the death of his father
07:15and his final departure from the country.
07:17Nevertheless,
07:18these stories lack proof.
07:19Evelyn was only 6 years old when they met,
07:22and their relationship remained cordial until the end.
07:25Present at his funerals,
07:26she was one of the rare guests,
07:28but she denied any romance,
07:30claiming that they were not that intimate.
07:32A year after the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun,
07:35Evelyn married the politician Sir Brograve Beauchamp
07:39and had a daughter.
07:40That same year,
07:41Beauchamp visited the grave with his parents,
07:44under the leadership of Carter.
07:45The latter never got married
07:47and,
07:48apart from his posthumous speculations about Evelyn,
07:50no other romantic relationship was attributed to him.
07:53If the legend of the curse adds an intriguing touch to his story,
07:57his distant temperament towards relationships
08:00was already evident long before the opening of the tomb.
08:03Carter was simply not a sociable person.
08:06In 1939,
08:07after a long fight against the disease,
08:09he eventually succumbed.
08:11He was 64 years old,
08:13a life expectancy quite ordinary in the United Kingdom at that time,
08:17so that no one judged his suspicious death
08:19or associated it with any curse.
08:22At his death,
08:23it was discovered that several artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun
08:26were in his possession,
08:28in his London apartment.
08:29These were eventually returned to Egypt,
08:32an event that some interpreted
08:34as the conclusion of the curse.
08:36Perhaps if he had not kept his memories at home,
08:39he would have lived much longer.
08:41As for the other deaths,
08:42they retain a part of the mystery.
08:45The theory of the curse
08:46has undoubtedly been reinforced by disturbing events
08:48that occurred during the excavations.
08:50Carnarvon developed a serious infection
08:52after a simple mosquito bite.
08:54And at the time of the opening of the tomb,
08:56the quarry experienced an inexplicable power failure
08:59followed by a sandstorm.
09:01In England,
09:02Lord Carnarvon's dog, Suzy,
09:04escaped from the house
09:05and began to bark frenetically,
09:07for no apparent reason,
09:08at least if you believe the witnesses.
09:11Even stranger,
09:12at the exact moment
09:13when his master breathed his last,
09:15the animal screamed
09:17before collapsing,
09:18inert.
09:19Perhaps the radiations
09:20did not play any role,
09:22and that the ancient artifacts
09:24of Tutankhamun's tomb
09:25were really carriers of a curse.
09:28Disturbing, isn't it?
