What was life really like for the men who built the tombs of the pharaohs? 🏺
Travel back to 1150 BC and step inside Set Maat, the hidden village of Deir el-Medina on the west bank of Thebes. Spend one full day with Amenemope, a tomb draftsman, his wife Merit and their children, from the first light of dawn to the silence of night.
In this video you'll discover:
✅ What an ancient Egyptian home looked like, room by room
✅ What they ate, how they washed and how they slept (yes, on stone headrests)
✅ The first documented strike in human history
✅ The surprising rights and power of Egyptian women
✅ Cats, amulets, board games, protective gods and everyday life
✅ A world in crisis: the collapse of the Bronze Age
An immersive historical reconstruction created with artificial intelligence, based on papyri, ostraca, archaeological plans and the real remains of the village.
