Many of you have made it here after listening to my appearance on The Higherside Chats with Greg Carlwood. In that interview we went briefly into a discussion on how Egyptology is a controlled psyop created by Napoleon and his merry band of Maltese Jesuits. I reached this conclusion in no small part from the many threads contributed to this site, and I thought a megathread could benefit those who seek to know more, or to open the floor for questions on this topic. remember that searching through the archived replies is recommended.
Egypt unearths trove of artifacts, 250 mummies in ancient necropolis
This article I saw today was actually the inspiration to create this thread.
250 is an absurd amount of Sarcophagi - the numbers they find in these "discoveries" seems to increase every time they want to grab headlines.
Again, another perfect example of gatekeeping. They'll show you a few photos of some Sarcophagi, but where is a photo of the papyrus? Where are these bronze statues? Are we not worthy enough to see these discoveries? Do they even exist?
As an Egyptian, it deeply saddens me that my home country has resorted to cheap tactics in order to draw tourists and revenue.
Three massive and major discoveries all within a few months of each other, during a time when tourism was at an all time low. Is this just coincidence? It seems strange to me that if the Egyptology departments are having a hard time getting money to perform additional research that they just so happened to make all these discoveries during that time.

Egypt unearths trove of artifacts, 250 mummies in ancient necropolis
This article I saw today was actually the inspiration to create this thread.
Among the treasures were 250 sarcophagi — or painted coffins — with well-preserved mummies inside, unearthed during recent excavations at a burial ground outside Cairo, said Mostafa Waziri, the secretary general of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.
250 is an absurd amount of Sarcophagi - the numbers they find in these "discoveries" seems to increase every time they want to grab headlines.
“In one of the wooden sarcophagi, we found, for the first time, a complete and sealed papyrus,” he told reporters at a makeshift exhibit Monday. The document was immediately moved to a museum for further study. Waziri said he believed it was similar to those found 100 years ago that discuss the Book of the Gates and the Book of the Dead. Both are ancient Egyptian funerary texts.
The dig also uncovered 150 bronze statues of Egyptian deities and instruments used for rituals dating back to the Late Period of ancient Egypt, about 500 B.C., said Waziri, who led the archaeological mission.

The Egyptian government is hoping a spate of recent archaeological discoveries will help revive the country’s tourism industry, bringing much-needed foreign currency and creating new jobs.
Egypt’s tourism-dependent economy has suffered in the past decade from the political chaos that developed after the 2011 Arab Spring. Lately, it has been hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which curbed global travel, and the war in Ukraine; Russia and Ukraine are usually big sources of tourists for the country.
As an Egyptian, it deeply saddens me that my home country has resorted to cheap tactics in order to draw tourists and revenue.
In February last year, archaeologists found 16 human burial chambers at the site of an ancient temple on the outskirts of the northern city of Alexandria. Two of the mummies had golden tongues, which Egyptian Antiquities Ministry officials said were to allow them to “speak in the afterlife.”
That same month, a massive 5,000-year-old brewery — believed to be the world’s oldest — was discovered in the southern city of Sohag. The beer, researchers hypothesized, was used in burial rituals for Egypt’s earliest kings.
In April last year, archaeologists announced they had unearthed a 3,000-year-old “lost golden city” in the southern city of Luxor, a discovery they said could be the biggest since the tomb of the boy king Tutankhamen.
Three massive and major discoveries all within a few months of each other, during a time when tourism was at an all time low. Is this just coincidence?
