Ancient Egypt

Currently Playing: Under the Pyramids: Inside the Giza Cave Network | Ancient Architects

In this video, I'm taking a look at the Tomb of the Birds, Tomb NC2 on the western margins of the Giza Plateau, which from the outside looks like a somewhat regular Ancient Egyptian rock-cut tomb structure, but inside it hides a secret – the entrance into Giza’s underground labyrinth of tunnels. I’ll be giving you the historical background regarding this subterranean world, and then, thanks to some exclusive footage from Geoffrey Drumm of the 'Land of Chem' YouTube channel, you’ll get to take a look inside. A special thank you to Geoffrey for providing me with footage.
