we've been watching all these feluccas
coming in so we're actually gonna be
spending the next two nights living on
board of one of these feluccas and
they're the traditional Egyptian boats
and they have no Morita
you neither now who could be so chubby I
wasn't expecting it they were either you
caper set the alarm for 5:00 I'm sure
the Sun will be waking us up at 4:00
[Music]
good morning buzz how'd you sleep last
night I actually fell fine yeah thing is
the best sleep I've had in a while like
we had like them like the perfect
temperature last night we fell asleep
9 o'clock and woke up at 7 that's a long
sleep that's a long sleep for us and now
having coffee just waking up as with
Egypt the Sun is super high for seven
o'clock and then I think they're just
preparing breakfast in that little room
for us oh yeah coffee on the Nile is
pretty good
[Music]
we're finally sailing along the river
it's kind of interesting they have to
zigzag with the wind so they go one way
zigzag back so kind of just working our
way through not to see the other
feluccas just over there
[Music]
years go by
[Music]
man it is parked it's windy we found
ourselves a little beach and this is
like a safe spot for us to go swim in
the Nile so we're gonna go take a dip I
feel is gonna be very cold
you're in was it like it's cold you're
swimming in the Nile
[Applause]
[Music]
the lunch we have like a tuna kind of
dish with some like capsicum and onions
which looks good we have some mashed
potato with some green peppers as well
baba ghanoush the local Egyptian bread
[Music]
Rebecca our hotel so we had the most
amazing morning sailing and swimming in
the Nile and then we docked up had lunch
and then while we're having lunch a
Egyptian I'm gonna call it an Egyptian
sand storm hit us so Santa started
bellowing it was insane you guys you
know it's crazy like didn't take the
cover out because we were scared that
there's gonna be sand like ultra hammer
it was that crazy it's kind of like hard
to explain when you see all these sand
coming in but they say that usually
lasts half an hour so we're kind of
waiting for it to go and then an hour
pass and then two hours and three hours
and then the sandstorm just the only way
you could hide from the sandstorm was he
was to me in the Nile so it was so nice
to only go to as they decided to
organize a bus and take us back to our
hotel that we actually started at they
covered all the costs which is super
nice so the hotel were meant to be
sleeping on the felucca tonight but
we're back at our hotel and they're
giving us buffet dinner tonight all it
because of what happened and we're like
that's so nice but we literally couldn't
have slept there there was sand
everywhere and I didn't stop like three
hours later we had to go back and it's
now six o'clock back in our hotel we're
gonna have dinner together
the felucca was amazing like I would
totally recommend it I don't think this
happens often yeah we need a shower we
business been in the Nile all day and um
yeah let's say let's good luck so
morning guys it is now the next day and
we're currently on our way to Luxor and
of course we have to stop off at a
couple of temples now we've come to the
first one which is called Colombo and
there's something really cool about this
one it's actually made to worship to
gods not just one one is Horus and one
is the crocodile god I can't remember
his name but there's some really cool
things about this temple this is the
first temple we've come to where there's
still paint on the walls so back in the
day these temples were colorful they
weren't just these plain kind of brown
walls
[Music]
so if you have a look at these are the
two different entrances for the two
different gods and you have your walkway
right to the offering table a lot of
this temple is under sand which means
the hieroglyphics are really preserved
here actually love the style of the
carvings instead of it being engraved
into the stone it actually is like
protruding out this is crazy to think
like 2,000 years ago someone carved all
this also there is the crocodile
gorgeous there and this is our first
look at Cleopatra she's here with her
husband
[Music]
it's another really interesting point to
check out at this temple is they had the
first ever recorded calendar here now
calendar a semi based on the ancient
Egyptian calendar so their months were
made up of thirty days and within those
months it was three weeks made up of ten
day allotment and then of course they
realized the Sun would go around in 24
hours and that's how they figured out
that each day was 24 hours long so if
you have a look here the circle in the
calendars to represent a day these
window looking carvings is to represent
the weeks there's a lot of crocodiles in
the Niles the ancient Egyptians thought
that they would start worshipping the
crocodile God so they could have mercy
with all the crocodiles that were in the
Nile and seen as worth the crocodile god
temple actually have some mummified
crocodiles so we're gonna go check that
out
yes
[Music]
just come to our final temple for the
day and this is the temple of edfu or
its kind of dedicated to the god of
horus if it's the God that looks like a
bit of a hawk represented by a hawk but
while this one is the most preserved
facade like the front bit of the temple
in all of Egypt they said that the whole
thing was completely covered in sand and
that's why it was preserved like this
one has like quite a bit of painter
still left
but the sad thing is is that people have
come and have like defaced a lot of the
can kind of tell in here
they've defaced all the gods and all the
ferrars and it was because I think they
said that the Christians came and
because it was like representing another
God they came in like do you face the
whole thing so it's like so well
reserved but every all faces that has
been chiseled away yeah there is a lot
of spots that still haven't been but the
majority of it is defaced our guy was
also trying to teach us how to read
hieroglyphics
it's so cool like on their shares like
the king who built it and how they built
it I wish I could read it
[Music]
