Magical Egypt
There is another side of Egypt that is not so widely known. Egypt is also the land of secrets. Another history, a secret history, tells of Egypt as the inheritor of deep wisdom and magical ability from an even earlier culture. It is the account of the Egyptians themselves. This alternate history is echoed by parallel accounts from the myth and history of other ancient cultures, as well as myriad secret societies and occult sources. The remarkable number of parallels in these stories provides a unique window into this other Egypt.
A new kind of counterculture is emerging around the unexpected discoveries of a small but growing circle of scientists, authors and researchers. The focal point of this counterculture centers on an alternative interpretation of ancient Egypt - not as mankind's earliest attempts at primitive civilization, but as a fully developed, and inexplicably advanced culture, who's scientific and metaphysical achievements we are only beginning to fully appreciate.
yup, third rate writing, slow and stupid, heavy organ score, hardly worthy of history channel even ...
RIP John Anthony West. The world lost a true legend and scholar
I would rather watch Magical Egypt than any one of the reality shows or talent competition or sports for that matter. The series is educational. It makes you think. Fascinating to me.
I am avGreek Mystic, I find thus authentic and beneficial I was led here by my Egyptian Scholar.
today's Egypt is nothing remotely like Ancient Egypt ..ancient Egypt was glorious and beautiful with nothing less than perfection with their much respected Kings and Queens ..i love learning about them
This is for the people that think this documentary is bull:
It is like this:
if we were borne like 500 years earlier, and i told you there will be a device that with the pres of a button you could talk to a person on the other side of the PLANET! would you believe it?
NO because your mind is closed, we do NOT know everything we will never ever know everything becouse we cannot even be everywhere.
I am not saying i will believe everything everybody says, but i do use my own mind to calculate and to think through in a logical sense.
Use your own mind! try to think positive and try to believe in other people then yourself or your family.
We are all devine creatures, dont take that for granted!
i believe in the people! i believe that human kind is very generous, loving and kind. some people just forgot it seems.
much love Esmazing
What made me love TopDocumentaryFilms is that it wasn't just a documentary site.. It actually taught me to refuse racism, refuse religion, refuse wars and despise killing for whatever reason. And, most importantly, It made me LOVE science! Thanks for educating people, you're doing a huge favor to us and you don't even know it.
Greetings from Egypt to the whole world.. No one excluded.
Thanks Truth, What is happening with the female Arab spring? Is it ok for men to cheat but not the women?
90% of women in Egypt have undergone female circumcision. Another example of religion driving people insane.
really, an amazing discovery with intuition and insight. Not everything in history is boring, and this brings life to the lost past of our history
Just a quick comment. When it mentions the people who learned the secrets of the egyptians... issac newton? lenardo? napoleon? correct me if im wrong...
But were the majority of these initiates left handed???
Shows us a glimpse of human possibilities... Maybe one day we will once again understand.
Wonderful documentary, would love to travel to Egypt some day.
Let me start by saying that I should have known by the title that most of this doc was going to be a bunch of crap. But I thought that maybe this "magic" was going to refer to advanced knowledge of the sciences.
And that's as far as we should have gone with the discussion on "magic." As others have already mentioned, it's evident that the Egyptians (or their predecessors) had a good if not amazing understanding of mathematics and astronomy. The first part of this doc, therefore, was somewhat interesting. Then, as if the doc wasn't already long enough, West made it seem longer by his endless conjecturing. On top of that, his stretching of the "facts" to make them fit his esoteric world view got more painful by the minute.
This should have been two different docs: one, on the subject of older civilizations. Two, on hermeticism, symbolism and esotericism in ancient Egypt. But then, West wouldn't have any "facts" to mix in with the garbage.
this is all mostly common knowledge in most of Africa. Long before the Europeans arrived there were Arab invaders. And Nilotic tribes keep the history of the real Egypt in their culture and traditions PRE-Islam.
did anyone else here the fart noises? lol
You see whats going on here is the earliest forms of the African and native peoples prime of their Life and art that was far more superior then the people who concurred them in the near future,there were no aliens,No magic,just the direction of the one and only GOD who made us all (but them first) directions for showing their Knowledge, and existence of math, architecture, science, astrology, Art, and superior human communication through super highly advance architectural feats that stood the test of time, during their last of times while our feats are only just beginning like the cray supercomputer, the Hubble Space telescope, Computer graphics, the Hadron Collider all that's been going on is they've been trying to show us that they knew this all alone too seeing things in our earth's history as they stand is why they've done so.
I think the modern Egyptians are not the actual descendants, and are definitely not the cultural or spiritual children of, those who actually built what remains of that ancient, wonderful civilization. I think the people we know as Egyptians found the pyramids and other artifacts of what we think of as Egypt. I think the same is true for the Inca/Maya remains in the Americas. It is obvious to me that we misunderstand the whole business, and those amazing carved stones are all the evidence we need to safely at leasst entertain the question. Modern Egyptologists tell us the Cheops pyramid was built in 20 years. It is a ridiculous claim on its face, but it remains the official dogma. I am saddened by the loss of our true history as humans. I can only hope it is not intentional deception. Sad as hell.
For many years I have studied early people, early cultures, early languages, and early civilizations. Without any exceptions, all of them made unexplained transitions from what would be a basic nomadic existence to an artisan existence, a transition which normally would take centuries as the skills of an artisan take an incredible amount of time to develop. When I looked at the earliest Egyptian culture as expounded by ‘Westerners’ I saw the earliest monoliths and I asked myself where is the evidence of the gradual build up over the centuries of the skills required to construct the monoliths, there was no evidence. All of a sudden these people acquired the incredible skills necessary to construct the monoliths.
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe that instant skill acquisition is possible! So I asked myself, from where did these skills come from? Many disconcerting answers arose and I to travelled the path as described in this series of videos.
Eruditus
similar to my quantum quranic essoteric priniple of universal harmonics very interesting
Unless you are a spiritual person who has a BASIC understanding of the occult, or at the least an OPEN MIND, this video will seem preposterous(like it did to our skeptical friend Lumixian among others). The fact is; the ancient egyptians were more advanced than we are today and they had a spiritual outlook on just about everything. They believed in 'MAGIC'. Guess what- Magic is nothing but high science; a spirit science that sadly this "humanity" has not understood yet and will not understand. It is a mgic that taps into the 4th dimension.. That is where all the power is. Look at the new quantum physics. It's nothing new to the ancients. just different wording.. It is going to take a rude awakening to wake up the sleeping sheeple-
Amazing how many people will sit and watch a 7 hour documentary just so they can comment about how stupid it is. Why did you even click on it in the first place then?
Ok, am I the only one who noticed that one of the researchers and producers was a person named "Chance Gardner?" Does anyone remember the movie, "Being There", with Peter Sellers. His name in the movie was Chance Gardner. What are the odds............?
One of the most disingenuous and horrendous documentaries on the topic. Why do people eat this stuff up? Is it because Joe Rogan recommended it? I think Joe Rogan was on shrooms when he saw this because there is no scientific credibility whatsoever.
He doesn't adhere to any scientific principles and he event attempts to associate ancient Egyptian "magic" to the success of various historical figures without explaining why...or even better, how? It's a low blow and it's absolutely shameful that he tries so hard to associate this ancient Egyptian "magic" or "sacred knowledge" to real things in order to make it seem that much more authentic. Adam West,is just another kook, and the documentary overall is tantamount to a 'UFOlogist' making a documentary about the existence of UFOs and their role throughout history. The credibility is just about the same...
On the upside, this is good for entertainment purposes if you're scientifically literate.
Sorry, I kept falling asleep.
