In this live‑stream, travel host Joni Patry guides viewers on a boat ride across the Nile to the Philae Temple island in southern Egypt, accompanied by local tour guide Hussein and fellow travelers Daniel, Carrie, and others. The conversation weaves together on‑the‑spot observations of the Aswan Dam, the transformation of Nubian villages into tourist‑focused Airbnbs, and the economic impact of a decade‑old viral video that spurred rapid development. Hussein provides a detailed historical narrative of the Philae Temple, covering its Ptolemaic foundations, the worship of Isis, Osiris, Horus, and the Nubian god Mandulis, the defacement of statues by the Egyptian church, the presence of French graffiti from the Napoleonic expedition, and the significance of the last known Demotic inscription (c. 395 AD). The group also explores the temple’s art, noting the first depictions of human emotion on statues, and identifies five musical instruments carved on the walls. Throughout, Joni interjects with informal, enthusiastic commentary, answers live chat questions, and shares personal reflections on climate, food, souvenirs, and the logistics of streaming from a remote site. The stream ends with a recap, audience interaction, and promotion of Joni’s Patreon and related content.
Chapters
It's not that big, but we're getting ready
to go
to the island. It is the link between the town, the small English town, and the high ground. All of those small boats we have, and now this— they are using them for 2 purposes: to transfer tourists from the mainland into the island for a single price, or fishing them off. Even this one though, very low, very low. Tourist season, they take boats into the main lake, massive lake for fishing. Do we have crocodiles? No, we don't. All the crocodiles are now located, relocated behind the hideout. More than 45,000 wild Look how they are all behind the line. We have here lots of Nubian villages all around us. Ladies and gentlemen, this part of Egypt was totally ignored for centuries. About 10 years ago, a YouTuber, a naturalist, came here. I don't know the region, but he made nothing. We did nothing but spending 10 minutes in those houses around us for the views from over. So the 10 minutes it took you, they have changed this place economically forever. Yeah. Tens of thousands of locals, they start to consider this place as the weather visit. This is the weather destination where they come to spend winter. They've encouraged lots of locals To add extra rooms to their own houses as RVs. This place was one little room ten years ago. I remember very well. This was one second room, and the entire level was parents, wife, and children. Look now how big it is. Well, so they invest the money they make every year to enlarge their own houses to make it to add more more. Comfort ways of life to have air conditioning, this and that, refrigerators, and so on. This is Aswan Dam. You see this wall over there? This wall over there is Aswan Dam. That's my view. This is the whole dam, Aswan Dam. Whatever yours. So
everybody, I'm on the Nile right now and we're going over to an island to a temple. I thought you would be interested as we take our boat ride across the Nile, and I'm going to show you what we're about to see. And sorry about the motor back there on this boat, but once we get across the Water. I'll show you the temple, but we're on our way right now. Say hi to Doc. We've met so many fun people on this trip. And here, here's Doc's wife Carrie. Say hi.
Hi.
You've already met Dale.
Here it is. As you see, and it works as a lock and sometimes in the past, but no longer now.
And she left
it for years. And the problem, we used to have it in a convoy concept, like those in the, in the east wait till those in the west cross and then we go. So tomorrow we're going to Upper Sylt. If it's the old days, we consider half an hour to cross the bridge from one side to the other. Less than a year ago, we have opened the bridge, connects the east with the west here in Aswan. 2 minutes, we cross from one side to the other. But yet, this is a very old building with historical value and even economical value. We still have 1.4 billion cubic meters of water behind. Preserved behind that dam, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Alrighty, the small islands we have all of that, all of around us, they became Nubian villages. Since we had to evacuate 300,000 Nubians from the area behind the high dam, we've moved them to the area in front of the dam. Many of them, they've chosen to settle very close into their own old home. It's now underwater. They have built their own houses over there. You will notice Lots of white buildings on those tiny islands. Those white buildings are nothing but very small local houses somehow transformed to be Airbnbs. All of this thanks to the 10-minute video posted 10 years ago on YouTube. In wintertime, this is a super busy place. Believe it or not, not tourists, not Americans, not Russian, not English. Egyptians, they come to do this. So if it's me, if it's my choice, I'll take you to dine in this wonderful little restaurant over there after an hour or hour and a half.
Wow.
Good. Going to have lunch over there.
We are?
Yes.
All right.
Good. For Aziz, I can do anything. Okay, we have these 2 gentlemen. They are Nubians, ladies and gentlemen. They have some local products in here. They are with decent prices. Two dollars.
Yeah.
How much?
How much? This is five dollars. We have stone and camel bones for ten dollars in here. Yes, those are camel bones.
Okay.
So five dollars. This is Christmas. Camel bones, five dollars. Those are Nubians. I don't know the doesn't know the material. Those are Nubians for five dollars. If anybody interested, they are going to be around you. يلا باشا. لا أرمك ركب يلا بيركب. متأخرين ساعة نص عنا.
Here's Daniel. We're, we're almost to the island. Right across the way. Sorry. 2 American dollars. Right now, where am I? I'm in Egypt and we're close to Sudan. We're in southern Egypt. And yeah, it's, it's safe. We're, we're with a group. That I know we're safe, so I'm not worried. I hope you're— are you guys seeing 2 of me? I can't tell, um, how to get this where it looks right, but yeah. So Yeah, it is a magical place. It's not of this world. Yeah, we're taking a boat ride. So, uh, so you're saying no, there's not 2 of me? Does everything look okay? Am I filming properly? Say yes or no. Does it look good? Masterful healing and change. Does it look good, or is there too much? Do you see me twice or just once? I can't tell. I see two images of myself, and I hope I'm not filming two as double picture. Yes, it's good, right? No, no double pictures. Okay, okay, then I'll keep it the way it is. Thank you. All right, good. You know, if you're on vacation and, uh, Everyone probably thinks I'm crazy because I'm getting my phone out and I'm telling them I'm doing live YouTubes, and they're being so polite and putting up with me. Everyone. But I wanted everyone around the world to see where I am and to get a feel of Egypt and the places we're going, the temples. Okay, thanks very much. Okay. Thank you guys for letting me know that. Well, thank you, Esther. All right, so look at this. Look at the rocks. This is where water can get off the ice. I can't believe they actually have something growing here, but I guess it's because it's by the Nile River. Yeah. And, and these are all the lovely people we're sitting with on our tour. They are so much fun and so nice putting up with me.
If I know someone has a YouTube channel, could help me, I will really appreciate that.
What's that?
We have anybody has a YouTube channel?
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
Famous as soon as possible.
Yeah. Okay, Hussein, we're gonna, we're gonna make sure of it.
All
right,
you're the best.
Thank you, you are. Yeah, did y'all get that? That was Hussein, our tour guide. Yeah, he's gonna give us a tour, so We're about to get off the boat and we're going to the temple. I'm going to show you everything and we'll let Hussein teach us about what we're seeing. Isn't this great that we have this wonderful tour guide that knows everything and he's happy that I'm doing this and you're happy because you get to, you get to come with me on my travels. So. All right, we've got a day here. I'm gonna show you around with Hussein's help. Yeah, it is dark, the Nile. It's not very blue. Yeah, he's funny. They're talking about Hussein.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. See, see, look, I can see out there.
Yeah, yeah. When I did the livestream with you, Yeah.
All right, guys, I have to get off the boat now. I'm going to be doing this holding my phone, so I hope it's not too difficult. No, it looks easy. No problem. I'll make it across there. All right. Here we go. I spent all money just for maintenance.
I'm maintaining it.
Yeah. Then we're not using it. I could rent a boat.
Okay.
Okay.
This is gonna be—
there we go. All right.
Now I'll show you. Everywhere you go, everywhere you go, there's salesmen. There's Daniel looking at the—
where is it?
There's all the wares that they're trying to sell.
Actually,
the earrings are pretty. Look at all that. Very pretty. You guys know how I like jewelry. Yes, yes, and I've been wearing a lot of Satya's jewelry as well. Here we go.
Egyptian bowing? No, not Egyptian. American man. Yeah. How much? How much? How much? How much? How much? Excuse me. How much?
Very aggressive.
Hello.
Wait, what do you take out and pay for those?
I don't know. How much does he want? I was thinking about getting those for my sons, those, uh, mummy cases. I thought it'd be great for them to be able to put their keys when they come home. But you gotta buy all the trinkets, you gotta get the souvenirs. We're tourists, right?
Right.
That's how they make their living, off off us tourists, right?
So, all right.
Hi. Yeah. All good.
Yeah, 2, 3 decent size. When they reach to a certain size, they could be out of control and dangerous. They ship them back behind the lake and get smaller sizes. The Nile crocodile is a problem. The Nile crocodile sometimes for fun— so any other alligator or a crocodile, they attack the feet. Sometimes here they attack for fun. They kill between 15,000 to 20,000 males a year. I don't believe it. Every precaution we have on all of this, but yet They hunt. Yeah, very good.
Money.
Okay, there we go.
Okay, we have no money.
Yeah, we'll go. Yes. Okay.
Yes. Did I say leapfrog?
They can't tell where your hand valve is and your—
Notice Daniel's shirt.
What?
He's bought those in the United States. He's been wearing them the whole trip.
Those people are dumb. I want to bring them close so they can take a picture of them.
All right, here's the temple. It's amazing. Here we go. I'm we're about to get Hussein to tell us all about it. Sound and light show, aren't I? Good guys, stay in the shade. Whenever it's possible. Uh huh. What tree is this? Palm tree.
Same thing.
Apple. I'm just kidding. All right, I gotta tell you now. All righty, guys. We are in Noba. This is the Nubian land. This is the closest to Africa. From the southern of Egypt, so we have some tropical plants that grow in here. One of them is a tree. It is part of the palm dates family, but it is not palm dates. This is another kind of palm grows. Another palm. Are you okay? Another palm grows here in this part of Egypt, and they give. A kind of a fruit looks like apple, but it is not an apple. It comes as green, then yellow, then brownish. They leave it like over a year on the tree. Then they harvest it, grind it, crush it into powder, have it in water for overnight, and then drink the juice called dom. Dom juice. The dom. is very good for the blood pressure. This is the tree I'm talking about, and this is the fruit I'm talking about. Can you see it?
Yeah.
Later, when I give you the free time, you're gonna sit there in the coffee shop. They are serving this drink in here, the dome drink. If you'd love to order a drink for yourself, you can ask for dome.
Is it tasty?
Uh, somehow yes. I mean, it is cold, fresh. It will refresh you, and it is really good for the blood pressure. And tomorrow when we go to the market, if you'd love to buy some spices, this is part of the deal. Alrighty. So unusually, the tree splits have two final fidella. Can you see? Two and the two gets two, and that's why it gives lots of fruits. At night, guys, we have the sound and light show in here. This is the cafeteria I'm talking about. We are meeting here 12:40 to leave from the cafeteria at 12:40. Well, you can sit there in the shade. You can order a drink if you wish. We have the bathroom over there for later. The washroom is over there. So this area where we have the cafeteria, we have also the bathroom, and we are meeting here 20 minutes to one to have the motorboat back to the island where our restaurant is. Okay, for now, follow me to the tent.
Is it hot here? Yes, I think, I think yesterday midday it was 97 degrees. So they always say Celsius, I don't know what they're talking about, so I have to get somebody to convert it into degrees. Sorry, that's what, um, yeah, Americans do. Degrees. So here we are walking in the temple. They're all kind of built the same way. Interesting. Here's where we're at.
Delay.
Oh, oh yeah.
I'll be all cocky. I know this direction. It is like half a mile in. Yeah, I mean, you can see it from the—
Can you imagine being a kid?
Isis, or Isis, the greatest mother, the greatest wife. This temple, back to Ptolemy number 4, he built the foundation of the temple, and then it's cleaved. Ptolemy 5, 6, 7, and so on. This is the open court, the maximum for ordinary people like ourselves to be. This is what lifts from the Nilometer down here. But ladies and gentlemen, this is the last active— that used to be the last active temple in Egypt ever. The Romans, the Christian Romans, they shut down every temple back to the paganism time. Done a part of this. The temple stands up till like 510 AD. Well, army after army the Romans sent, they could not shut the temple down. There's huge strong resistance from both the Egyptians and Nubians together to protect the temple of their own great goddess Isis. But the last army the Romans sent, 50,000 soldiers, they've managed to kill more than 40,000 Many of Isis' followers. And to prove they made it to this temple, they have removed the plaster wall out. Can you see? Nothing on the columns. Huh. Columns are naked totally. Plus they have carved their own swords all over. See? Very good. Look at the other side. We still have The carving on this spot. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first slide. Before the pylon, there were 2 obelisks. Back in the early 19th century, an English traveler came to this area. Well, no one to stop him. He said, oh my God, I love this medium-sized obelisk. That would look fantastic in my backyard. hired people, a boat, put it down, ship it to Alexandria, from Alexandria to London, and now it's in Dorset in London. The problem with this opus, not because a local guy from England took it, no, what's carved on it. It's similar to what we have in Rosetta Stone. Ah. Hieroglyphics, Demotic, Hieratic. So it had a great, uh, it helped us And deciphering the ancient Egyptian scripts that they had. Well, it was the last active tomb in Egypt. That means The Egyptian church became stronger and stronger and stronger. So by the time they managed to stop this cult in here and to slaughter the followers of Isis, the Egyptian church became very, very strong. And they have hired people to scratch the figures. No longer the feet and the face. We have the full figures scratched. Can you see that? This is not a volunteer work done by Uh, as a hobby for some people. No, those were professionals hired by the Egyptian church to deface the important figures. Up in the top from the left, we have the king offering sacrifice to Osiris-Isis, and then the king offering sacrifice to Isis-Horus. This is the divine triad. We've been talking about them since yesterday— Isis, Osiris, and their own son Horus.
Can you see the temple? Isis and Horus, and we're getting a tour. We're here in southern Egypt, and. Just listen to our tour guide. He's telling us all about it as we go.
Break into the temple. This is what they did. The place was transformed into a church.
Here we go. Is it across? Is it across? Very good, guys. Who is this lady we have here?
Are we looking at Hathor or we're looking at Isis?
Prices.
Why do you say that?
Uh,
good point, but yet I cannot confirm this. You're very close, but I need to read the hieroglyphics. Sorry, Egyptologist now. What the other group would tell us? Look at this side of the column we have here. We had it lifted all the way down.
Oh,
you see the rectangular shape with the bird inside? Yeah, this is Hafel. Confirmed. Okay, come on down. Anybody knows French here? Once we have no one speaks French, I do speak French.
Daniel, though, has.
You do?
Daniel speaks.
Daniel? Oh my God.
I know, I know.
My French is not that good, but
he's
fluent.
He is French.
Really?
Yes.
We might need his help. Here it is.
Okay.
This is a text written by the French when they have arrived to this area. The French conquered Egypt at 1798, and they have made their way down here. To this temple, and they have got this text in here. It's all about their own mission. It's all about the great leader Napoleon who ordered this expedition, and they have conquered Egypt, and they have discovered lots of things in here. Alrighty guys, so this is one of the graffiti we have inside the temple. As I told you, we have almost 2,000 graffiti anywhere, and everywhere you go, you will see some scratches here and there.
In, please. Well, we are here in the second living court, ladies and gentlemen.
My second living court is here. And this is one of the pylons, as I have mentioned earlier. Sorry guys, I wish I could show you some colors, but zero in this temple. Water washed it totally. The temple was 100% underwater. Look at the winged sun disk here. See the sun disk and the wings? Zero colors, nothing in there. Look at the defaced figures here, here, here. One more time, this was not work done by locals voluntarily. This was professional work done by people hired by the church itself. Ladies and gentlemen, when this temple first built, it was very poor. But a prophecy or a story made by the priestess inside this temple, like our goddess Isis, she found her own husband. Yes, dear. Thank you.
What do you mean they don't hear me? Back to your bed.
How dare you say that?
Because it just went off. There you go. Yeah, yeah, battery. Wow, why is only one side plugged? Maybe they should get that plugged. It looks like they were intended on doing the whole job.
Using another batteries now. Those are mine. Stronger and last longer.
Batteries okay?
I don't know. That's
good.
Well, so no colors as I said, and this work, the damage happened at this part of the temple did not happen by volunteers. Those were professionals hired by the Church of Egypt. One more time, when this built first built, when this temple first built, it was poor. But the priests of the temple came up with the story like, uh, excuse us, uh, the goddess of the temple used to stand there by the terrace overlooking her own husband's tomb, cries every morning, and out of her own tears the Nile starts, the flood starts. Don't we have the right to make some money out of the land around us? I said, no, sorry, we cannot help you because the flood starts when the god of the Nile starts to have the 2 jars and pour water down there. And now you come up with another theory that your goddess— no, it's the old god, it's a new goddess. Wait a minute, let's go to the court. They went to the court with the 2 theories, tears or water jars. 3 rounds there in the court ended by giving the favor of the flood to the goddess in here. And this decision came with 12,000 acres of land. We call it dudo cachinari in Latin. Where did that record it? On this 200-pound piece of stone we have there. You see this? Mm-hmm. This is the court decision to give 1,200,000 acres to the temple, made it the richest ever. Ladies and gentlemen, this structure we have over there is called Ma-mizi. Ma-mizi, or Divine Birth House. Long story, but it is where Horus was born, and then the new king would be born. What I'd love to show you here is a revolutionary moment in art. Since we started this experience up till now, we have not seen a smiling face or a sad face. They were all pale faces. Haven't we seen anything like this? No. I don't think so. Now for the first time, they have started to represent the human emotions on the faces. We have half Horus, now Horus is delivering Horus. This is a kind of religion, later we're going to discuss it, but look at the faces. Look at the very front page over there. Can you see?
Where are you showing? Over there.
The capital.
Oh, gotcha.
Yes. Can you see how sad she is?
Look at the pain we have here. The second face. The agony and the pain. Can you see the lasers?
Now it gets released a little bit. There is a smile in here, very clear smile. She almost laughs here, you know. So this is actually the delivery levels: pain, agony, exhausted, and then now I'm released, I'm happy, they gave me my baby in my hands, I'm feeling relaxed. So for the first time in our history, they have started to represent the human emotions and feelings on the faces. Well, we will see it. Very good. Classically, I have to lead you upstairs going into the temple, which I cannot do this. My conscience wouldn't. I will show you what is hidden inside this temple. And part of the hidden parts here is actually the last Demotic text ever written in our history. The public text written by one of the visitors, one of the pilgrims. They come for pilgrimage. They have recorded something about the symbol.
They're saying, why is it that only one half of this is damaged? The other half is not.
We believe this part of the symbol was actually destroyed somehow. They nuked it down. So the blocks in the top covered the blocks on the bottom. Once it's covered, no one's going to see it. We're not wasting money and time and resources. Let's damage whatsoever obvious and locals could see it. Listen, the last Demotic text. What do you mean by Demotic? There were 3 ways to write the ancient language: hieroglyphics, the divine; hieratics, the official; Demotic, the public, that locals learned the script. This is the last one ever written, back to 395 AD. So 395 AD, there was somebody walking inside this temple able to read every word written and to decipher everything around us and to interpret the religion that they had in ancient Egypt. Here it is, and let's go outside.
Could you see the description of what we're looking at? This is, um, I was just showing you the Gate of Eldrin, and now Hussein's going to tell us more about what it all means.
It's crazy. It's crazy. You can spend a night for $50 in one of the Airbnbs in here with gorgeous Nubian food. Yes, yes.
Why, why, why, why?
Look at the small islands. Look at the vegetation around them.
Yeah.
Well, the 99% of what they eat here is just vegetarian. Well, they have almost a wedding, a wedding ceremony every day in here. They have motorboats and palookas all over and the dance music around you. This would be your life if you moved in here. With $100,000, I can manage your move from the States down to here. This is my new business after retirement. Yeah. Amanda, not for kids here. I'm sorry for that. I don't mind making illegal ways, but Ideas that we
have in here.
Number one, there's a gentleman in here. We have the last— sorry, are
you pushing
me? No one is pushing you, but just we need to explore the place, if you don't mind, please.
Okay. Thank you so much.
Come on, guys, closer, please.
Sorry. Well,
this is the last hieroglyphic text ever written in here. And I believe you can see the name of the goddess which is here. This is Isis. Can you see it? The throne. This is Isis, or Isis is in here. So again, we've seen the last demonic text written We have here the last hieroglyphic text ever written. When Nubians came to this area and they converted to the new religion of Isis, they have noticed the similarity between Isis' son and their own gods. They have a god in Nubia very similar to the falcons. Here it is. This is not falcon, this is not Horus, this is another Nubian god called Mandulis, and he is up there. Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember when I told you there was another god earlier before Isis who is actually holding 2 jars and just starting the flood? This god always settled underneath of an island, a rocky island, holding the 2 jars, and he lives in a cave, and this cave shaped by a snake. So the cave underneath the island just shared Like a circle surrounded by a snake to protect the god while he is providing the flood. I'm talking about this.
Okay, guys, ladies, we're
done. My God, you're okay. It's the last
one,
I believe. Yes, out of 50, you said. All right, so here we go. Can you see the rocks here?
Can
you see the snake here?
Yes.
Can you see the god sitting with the jars in his own hands? So this is the god who'd been here before the arrival of Isis. This is the god they used to collect taxes from the 12,000 hectares, the 12,000
acres.
But Isis, by going to the court— Thank you, closer please. Well, But Isis, by going to the court, that's exactly what happened. She got the land from the gentleman here. Can you see the snake?
No.
There's a box all over. Very good. Do you remember when I told you in the morning that Osiris decided to leave his own cult and center in the middle of Egypt and come here? Do you think— how do you think he made it here from the middle of Egypt all the way down to this part? Egypt Air? Of course not. Here it is. On a crocodile.
Oh!
On the back of a crocodile. Can you see the chair? Osiris is sitting in here. Exactly. Something else, guys. When you refer to the American president, don't you say the White House sometimes?
Yeah.
That's exactly what ancient Egyptians used to do when they used to refer to the Egyptian king. They used to say the Great House. And the great house means Per Ah, which became Fer Ah, which became Pharaoh and Pharaoh and Pharaohs. So that's where the title came from. So the Pharaoh is a title given to whoever sits on the Egyptian throne one day. Sometimes when they were not sure about the name of the king, they would write Pharaoh. They will carve it inside the cartouche like this.
Can
you see this hammer and a semi-rectangular shape? That's Bir Ah, the Great House. So we don't know which king. That's why one of the— a pharaoh did it. So we have the Nubian god identical to Osiris here. We have the beginning of the flood in here. We have the pharaoh here, the last hieroglyphic text over there, and we have here Osiris on the back of Akhenaten. in here. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a very, very rich spot that we have here. Look at this, Anita, that we have here. This is the hieroglyphic sign called, uh, uh, menat, which is a tool used for weaving in ancient Egypt at home. Menat. So the king is offering all fabrics available to the god. Take those photos and let's go.
Okay, everybody wants to take a photo out here, don't they?
You want to take a picture of me, Daniel, while I'm holding this?
Okay, so Daniel's going to take a picture of me while I'm holding this so you all will be able to see the photo. Here's, here's where I'm going to stand for a photo.
All right,
so— Everyone go take a photo. That's a good, good backdrop. All right. This is at least in the shade. And this is Vicky, and this is Jeannie. You're on my YouTube right now. Oh wow!
Demonics. We have two basics to be socialized and transformed. We've had three professors around the world. One of them was Egyptian, but he died. Come on, guys. This is the this is the highest stand hall we have, ladies and gentlemen. Look up to the ceiling. Look up to the capital. Can you see any colors? Wow! I don't think so.
He's allergic to cats too.
Look at the capital.
Yes. What
is it? What's the name?
Sonia.
Sonia.
This part of the temple as well, transformed into a church.
Nobody's even paying attention to our tour guide when the kitty came around. Anyway. And Daniel's always held back. Let me just give you an idea of what's going on. He meets everyone and starts talking to Yeah. So I'm on you live on YouTube right now, but I'm showing them how you talk to everyone everywhere we go.
Where are you from?
London. Nice. Beautiful. We love it. Everywhere we go, it makes traveling fun. Wow, I love these little, like, chambers that nobody's in, and they're lit up. They're so fantastic. Look at that.
This one, this one, and the one behind me. I need you to find for me two nicest and two hardest. What's that? I'm all yours, sir. Which one here? This one? Why do you say that? Oh, excuse me.
You're thrown.
Even this.
But the bird in the box.
Where? Ah, bird in the box. We have one hot bird. We found one hot bird.
Isis?
Where?
The hot bird is over there. Here? Potato?
That's one? Why do you say that?
There's no bird. Oh, there's no cartoon. Well, no, she wouldn't have a bird.
Look for the name of Isis then.
Right.
This is Isis and this is the throne and the egg. Up there. Can you see the throne? Yes. You see the egg?
Yes.
Name of Isis. So we have one Hathor, we have one Isis. We're looking for one more Isis, one more Hathor.
Sorry, over here.
Where? This one?
This one? Yes.
Why do you say that?
That's like a part of—
Oh, the bird in the box. Here it is. 1, 2, 2 Hathors. We need one Isis. One more Isis, guys.
It's this one that's right ahead.
Where? Here's one. Okay, this one. Why do you say that?
Do we have to put the bird in the egg?
No, the bird is holding us here.
No, no, no, the chair in the egg.
Chair in the egg, here it is. Chair in the egg, this is Isis. Bird in the box, this is Hathor. Up there, we have chair in the box, this is Hathor. And chair in the egg is Isis. A piece of cake, I believe, now. You got rehearsal behind you in this wall.
So why does Isis help the phoenix?
She loved this crown.
The hunter,
yes. This is the original crown founder, but Isis to honor what she did by taking care of her own son, she got the same crown. That's Isis. She was honoring him.
Yeah.
Oh no, no, we need to read the hieroglyphic for this. So rehearsal, guys. Whenever you see a lady with the two horns, look. To the front, to the in front of her face, and look for the name. This one, for example.
Yeah.
Oh, the throne egg. This is actually Isis. This one here. Oh, the throne egg. This is Isis. This one here. Oh, bird in a box. It's Hathor. Here. No no no no no no no. None of them. Can you see? With the different throne. This one here. Oh, throne egg. This Isis. So now you can tell who's Isis, who is Hathor. Easily. This way we go. We move up. Yes, Wendy.
Why are these reversed paintings from the other one?
Let me walk into this little nook and cranny. These are where I like to go to see things that— oh, this is a good one. Good one to take pictures in, right? Look at how intact all this is. It's just remarkable.
Exactly.
And it's perfect the way they shine the light on it, where you can see it all so well.
No. Well, maybe it's for the hunters.
It's hot in here. I wonder how people do this in the summer or June, July, August. I don't know how people can go through here. It's bearable right now, but it would be unbearable, uh, in the summer, but Probably the best, the best time to come here is in the winter, the winter months. It never rains here, so you don't have to worry about that, just the temperature. Okay, we're walking out. There's the columns. So I see your comments right now. Mary White, amazing. Maria, perfect time to visit Egypt, I guess it's not as hot. Yes. Let's see. Here I go. Oh my goodness, look at these beautiful columns out here. You can't see this. Yeah, remember, we're on an island. We took the boat over to get here, for those of you that might have just tuned in. We are in southern Egypt and visiting the temple.
Here we go.
I don't think
that's my
Excuse me, what do you mean I'm making things up? Baseball.
Yeah, yeah.
Can you see it?
Yeah, yeah.
This is actually one, one of the rituals the king must perform before spring. A mud brick ball full with seeds, and he would hit it away with the stick to spread all the seeds away. That means the beginning of winter. Beginning of spring. I'm sorry. So, but you guys turn it to peaceful and doesn't matter. It's okay. It's okay. We I have to forgive you as well. We go downstairs, guys. Downstairs we go.
Shoot it down in the air and spread seeds.
Okay, guys, I gotta watch my steps, so if you want, it's going to be a little bit, yeah, more uneven in my filming. All right, made it. And here we have Daniel taking pictures of all the kittens everywhere.
The heck? I think he's—
I think we're just getting Sally. He never takes pictures of me, but he always takes pictures of the animals everywhere we go. I know. Change, change, change.
Goddess of music in ancient Egypt. That's why, please, I need you to find 5 musical instruments on the walls of this very little temple. He
said
musical instruments are needed.
He said find 5 musical instruments on the wall.
Well carved, lots of musical Oh no, this is actually a harp. And the one who holds the harp and plays the harp is the goofy cat-faced dwarf. We call it Biss. Here he is. Biss is here. This is the god of fun. Look at the face. This is the cat face with a dwarf body, and this is a harp. He's playing harp. This is the instrument number 1.
This one?
Oh, this is a baboon is playing with a lute. Second, a low tier. This is the second. What else?
This one over here.
Oh, this one over here. Trampoline. 3, 2. Yes, sir.
It looks like a violin.
What do you want, this?
Yeah. No, this is— I admit it, this is some— this kind of wings.
Wings. Yeah, I'll take wings.
Oh yeah, wings for $400. Wings for Red Bull. Well, those are— huh? This is the harp. Yes, we found it before. 2 more, I need it.
Is this the lotus flower?
I know what I'm looking for.
You mean this one? Thank you.
Winners and vendors have to be voted.
Um, we have number 4. Where's number 5? Thank you. Yes, this is a flute.
Oh yeah,
flute. Here it is.
What are the, the ones?
Good eye.
The harp you mean?
No, no, no, no. It's like a rattle but it has metal pieces.
Oh, this is the sistrum.
Yes.
This is harp or sistrum?
Yes.
Yes. So those are 5 musical instruments we have found. Look at the face.
Yeah, yeah.
Looks at the cow, a flat face with the cow ears. This is one of the ways that it presents Hakaret. Okay, few steps forward to show you where the original location of the temple used to be. Minor step, minor step. You see the black steel bars? Yeah. All that, this used to be the original location of the temple. So the island now is totally underwater. The black steel bars, those are the remains of the cofferdam they built around the temple to dry it up and to dismantle 40,000 blocks, move them to this place, reassemble them again. This is a new island called Egelica, the island of at Philae where the temple used to be underwater right now. Ready, guys?
Used to be right there.
Or there. Yeah, the black steel bars over there, that remains of the COVID down. Now it is 10 minutes after 12. We are meeting at 12:40 by the cafeteria to walk together into the boat for lunch. Alrighty guys, you almost have half an hour to wander back in the timber. Meet up there, we'll go back to the cafeteria. Cafeteria outside, 2 minutes behind this building, you're gonna have a cafeteria for drinks.
Okay guys. I am walking over to the cafeteria right now, and I will be looking at some of your questions as I go. But I hope you enjoyed today and the tour that we got of the Pile Temple. It's on an island, and you have to understand that most of these temples were underwater for I don't know how long. Yeah, more than centuries. And I think maybe that's why they're so well preserved, but they are amazing how well they're preserved. So let me get over here where I'm not in the direct sunlight and I can read my screen and see what, um, what some of you are asking. So Oh, maybe— Get over here. All right, I hope you're enjoying your tour in Egypt in the Philae Temple. I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong, but at least I was able to film our tour guide, Hussein, who does this all the time. He's an Egyptologist, and this tour we're on originated from— gosh, it's the Archaeological Pathways. So here we go. I'm going over here. Well, this is interesting. This is pretty massive. I entered this before. Here we have the Asian supermodels over here. They're not real friendly if you get in their way.
Incredible.
You got it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, amazing. What a, what a beautiful scene here. Incredible. Okay, let's go to the coffee shop, Daniel. I told everybody that I'd be able to take questions, but probably I don't know the answers to your questions because This is my first time to Egypt. I'm, I'm a newbie. I'm learning everything as I go. So, but it's just amazing to be here on site, and it's amazing I can do all this filming because I need internet everywhere, and somehow it's working. It's a shame I couldn't show you the Valley of the Kings. There was no internet there, but If you're part of my Patreon group, guys, then you will know that I did a lot of filming there, just with my camera. Not any lives. Couldn't do any lives without the internet. But watch when you go through these bazaars. Ah,
okay.
I love the sesame seed. Thank you. I gotta try date. Remember my son Austin? That was good. My son Austin, his company is called Realzy.
Here's the bizarre.
But oh good, here's the coffee shop. Oh, I didn't get to tell you his company, Realzy Austin. They sell dates that are stuffed with nut butters, and they're all over the United States. Look at the ceiling here. Nice. They even have music. I'm turning the phone away while I spit out the date seed, but it was a delicious date. We're being filmed. But what? You saw these? What? Anyway, I want to sit down for just a minute and go over some of the questions. Daniel, where can we sit?
Right here.
Sure.
Okay, guys, I'm about to end. But I want to see some of your comments before I close for the day. And who knows, maybe I'll turn it back on today if there's anything spectacular I'm seeing. I'm going to turn it back on. So,
yeah, no, thank you. I just couldn't hear it.
Kevin Bannas, what are you talking about? My Nana would stuff dates with almonds and cover them with dark chocolate. Yes, I won't tell you. My mom used to stick them in. What were they? Marshmallows ruined the date. My mother was not the best cook.
Where were you?
Okay. I'm going to the US. I want to know the name of your son's products. It's called Realcy, R-E-A-L-C-Y, and you can get it on Amazon. Okay, thank
you.
Fantastic tour today. I'd love to see the slides. Thank you from England. Let's see. Thank you for your tour and bring back memories. Of course, always. And Maria's greetings from Texas. And let's see who else is here today. What's the name again? Let me, let me show you the card because I, I'm scared I'm not going to say it right. This is it. Phile Temple. P-H-I-L-A-E. That's where we are today.
Yes.
The internet. Welcome to Dukkha Yuga. Yeah, Yukteswar said, I know what you mean.
You know where I live?
Temples are bigger in real life. It's truly wonderful. Thank you, Rock. Um, HR Man. Okay, okay. This is your first time in Egypt as well. Thanks for the tour. Okay, enjoying the view. Thanks for the tour. You're welcome. Melinda? Yeah, I didn't get what he said about the heather from Isis, something about the fruit. I guess we're going to have to revisit this video because it will be recorded. It's wonderful and Hussein is awesome. That's what my audience is saying.
Yeah.
He is. He's great, and he's got—he's—he's so clear and easy to understand. He speaks well, and he speaks loud enough where it can actually come across on this YouTube real well. Is it cool at night?
It cools off.
It—it did in Cairo, but we're in southern Egypt right now, and I didn't notice it getting too cool last night. So. Yeah, so I think this further south it doesn't cut off.
I bought these little—
watching from the UK. We just ran into a family from the UK. Lovely. Okay, anything else you want me to read? The protector of the place of cats. Yes, you're right. Thank you all for Me sharing all of this. I'm so happy to do this. I'm happy I'm able to have this opportunity to go to these amazing, incredible places on planet Earth. You like my hair in the desert? I don't know.
Awkward.
I tried, but it's not working. But thank you.
We bought one yet.
Uh, so, Leanne Jones, you're so welcome. I, I'm so happy I can do this for everyone. And hello from South Australia, Irene.
Bring an extra suitcase. You just bring what we, you know.

I will be back because I don't get back to the United States till October 31st. So check in regularly on my lives. I don't have a scheduled time that I'll be doing them, but I'm so happy to be able to do this and show you around Egypt on our beautiful Egyptian
