God bless you, guys.
This is Atab, the one we talked about when we announced the discovery.
Yes, Mohamed.
And this was the dam.
Until now, the dam was here.
We went down here a bit, and we'll go down again.
But this dam, and this view,
tell us that it's an old country, until we see what it looks like.
Where's the artist?
Let's go, Hamed.
Let's say, in the name of God.
His name is Zahar.
Wait, Hamed, like this.
Look, Mohamed.
His name is Wahdi.
This is his last name, Wahdi.
Perfect.
Let's see.
The painting is beautiful, by the way.
It looks like an old country.
Yes, it looks like an old country.
It looks like a rocky area, but it's good.
There's a lot of sculpture on the rocks outside.
A bit of air.
Here you go.
There's nothing visible yet.
In the name of God.
Wait a minute, Mr. Hamed.
Here you go, Mohamed.
This is a cartouche of Neferkara.
Cartouche.
Nefer-eer-kara.
Where's the brush?
The brush is in the cartouche.
Here's the cartouche, Mohamed Youssef.
Here you go, Mr. Hamed.
Nefer-eer-kara.
This is a cartouche of Nefer-eer-kara.
It's a picture of the temple of Nefer-eer-kara.
It's beautiful.
In the name of God.
We're looking for the temple.
We're looking for the temple of Nefer-eer-kara.
There's also a cartouche of Nefer-eer-kara.
This is a cartouche of Nefer-eer-kara.
It's the cartouche of the temple.
The cartouche of the temple.
In the name of God.
It's beautiful.
In the name of God.
This is a cartouche of Nefer-eer-kara.
Yes, exactly.
There's another level of walking here.
This is the Nefer-eer-kara.
Nefer-eer-kara.
Yes, yes.
So now we're talking about an old country without a discussion,
a family without a discussion.
Yes, a family without a discussion.
Look at this view.
Yes, I see.
Look at this view.
Look at the garden.
Look at the way the arms are rounded.
The arms are supposed to be on the back.
This is the opposite.
This is his wife.
But this is not a view of a woman.
This is not a view of a woman.
There are long hairs and brows.
There are no details.
Let us see.
And you're right when you say that the man there,
the other guy, has a mustache.
Yes, this is it.
Mohammad is right.
What he said is right.
Yes.
But it's nice.
The view of the beautiful hug.
This is a nice view.
The hand should come from behind.
What is he doing?
To make the two hug each other?
Yes.
I mean, this is a hug.
It shouldn't be like this.
This is a hug.
The hand is from behind.
And this is from behind.
So the hand should be exactly like this.
Yes.
In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful.
But by the way, the cemetery is not ...
It's not ...
In the first century, someone entered.
Yes.
No, this is the second entrance.
The second entrance.
But it doesn't mean that the second entrance is close.
No, no.
The first century.
Not less than 3,000 years, for example.
Something like that.
Because if it entered in the last century, it would have entered here.
Of course.
There is no last century.
And there is a house here.
It goes to the north.
There is something inside.
Yes.
Yes, still.
Still.
It will still be visible.
How does the world look like?
When we lower the ...
No, wait.
There is something wrong with the view here.
Do you see this mud?
Yes.
This mud is flowing from above.
Yes.
It is flowing from above.
It comes from this hole.
From this hole.
God bless you.
So this hole here.
It is connected.
It flows.
Yes, exactly like this.
Yes.
We continue with the last view.
No, no.
What I will say.
Thank God.
A nice discovery.
We are talking about an old country without discussion.
We are talking about a family of five.
We are talking about the cemetery.
We are talking about 4,200 years.
But it entered again.
It may be the first century.
It may be a period of periods.
The important thing is that the cemetery has not been opened for more than 3,000 years.
3,000 and maybe 500 years.
Maybe 3,500 years.
Yes.
The beautiful thing about these secret openings is that they remind us of the story of Zoser.
Anyway, we will continue and see how the world is.
But the advantage is that there are not many tombs.
No, no.
There are only a few tombs at the entrance.
But here it looks like a cemetery.
This is a beautiful work.
In the name of God.
Look at the colors.
The details are amazing.
Yes.
The details are amazing.
Okay.
Mohamed, will we film everything one by one?
Before we start?
We will make a documentation of everything.
And then we will make a documentary.
Of course.
We will make a documentary.
Lift your leg.
There are a lot of statues that I recognize.
The one in the middle.
I feel that this is a childhood scene.
Why is it a childhood scene?
Because this bald man has a mole.
And there is a light smile on his face.
And you can see his neck.
May God bless you.
His face is swollen.
Is there another level below?
Yes.
Outside the entrance.
Yes.
It is different from the other positions.
Yes.
There is a ladder here.
The baroqa ladder is on the floor, not on the ceiling.
Yes.
Do you want to film all this?
Then we will start with a tall redeem.
We will put layers on top of each other.
And a light one.
And thank God, there are not many redeems.
There will be no redeem.
So the architect comes in, makes the consolidation, the color correction, and the confirmation of it?
No, no, no. This is a beautiful, beautiful cemetery.
And it was not expected that it would be in the Holy of Holies.
Exactly.
Here he confirms that this cemetery was built on the way up to the King and his family.
So he is talking about a family of five?
Yes.
What?
His name is Wahdi.
So there is no doubt that the owner of the cemetery is called Wahdi.
A searcher or a searcher.
An architect or an architect.
Until we see the rest of his titles and study them.
Study his titles.
It's different.
What?
They say that he was not a normal person.
No, I don't think he was a normal person.
He built a cemetery in this shape, in this size, in this beauty, with all these titles.
Here he put himself in a beautiful place, and people offer him caravans.
He took a respectable job.
There are more than 25 cemeteries in Algeria.
No, this is only the second row, the one below.
The second row, the one below. God knows how the world looks like.
But this is the level of the ground.
The ground.
Yes.
And there is another level here, below the cemetery.
No, it is on both sides.
It is on both sides.
And from there too, on the top, next to the cemetery.
This is considered a unique cemetery in Saqqara, one of the unique rock cemeteries.
Do you know what this cemetery reminds me of?
The one with the statues in the wall and all that.
Like the one in Mersa.
Mersa.
And in Marouka.
Marouka.
The statues of the…
And the caravans.
Yes.
But here, on the top.
Here, the caravans are better.
What I like here is the colors.
The colors are amazing.
What are you talking about?
You are talking about 4,200 years, 4,300 years, and the colors are still amazing.
The details of the carvings are very beautiful.
The artist is very good.
I feel that…
This statue?
Yes.
But it is not all like that.
Not all of it.
You can see it here.
I feel that this is a painting.
No, not this level.
This is what I like about it.
It is a strange level.
It is a good level.
Come here, Mohammad.
Look at this.
Give it to me.
Take a shot of the camera, Mohammad.
Take a shot of the camera before the work.
Yes, yes, yes.
Everything is fine.
No, nothing is left.
Here, on the right.
It is a bit off.
Take a shot of…
It is a good level.
Yes, yes.
It is a good level.
We have recovered the old color.
The color is a bit different.
We have removed the old color and now it is a good level.
The colors are more beautiful.
This is from the source of beauty.
In the name of Allah.
Mashallah.
OK.
We will work only with two sources, Mohammad.
Yes.
We will work with two sources.
The work is light.
Look at the wall.
The statues below.
Did you see the column of the grandfather?
Did you see the column of the grandfather and the beauty of the colors?
Haseb, Haseb, come here.
A miracle.
In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful.
We live, we live.
Allah, Allah, Allah.
This is the city flag of the grandfather.
The geogeological separation in the mountain
is what caused the rain in the ancient times.
I saw it.
There are teachers on the right and in front.
Was the ceiling colored?
There is no color left on the ceiling.
If I tell you something else, there was no color.
Look up here.
This is the chiseling.
The chiseling is in this shape.
The ceiling was not colored.
The ceiling was not finished.
Do I have to show the whole group?
Yes, we do the cuttings and the reinforcement.
This is the painting floor.
It is supposed to be done here.
There was a plaster, but there is no water.
Look here.
The upper level looks very good.
When the rainwater leaked here,
it affected the lower level.
It affected the lower level.
It is not like the upper level.
Because of the rainwater.
Okay.
Look at the other side.
There are beautiful daily life scenes here.
This is the owner of the cemetery.
He receives the relatives here.
That's it.
Look at the slaughter of the victims here.
Look at the size of his leg.
Yes.
He is the supervisor of the temple.
Look at the statue in front of him.
It's like he is the director of the temple.
He made the scenes smaller.
I think he is a singer.
Yes, he is a singer.
And the singer next to him is the butcher.
Yes.
This is after the slaughter.
Look at his leg.
That's it.
God bless you.
Congratulations, uncle.
God bless you.
