FunTranscript
00:00You were traveling through Egypt, got lost from your group, and ended up in an ancient pyramid.
00:06Three passageways lie before you.
00:08The first leads to a room filled with gold.
00:11The second is hidden behind a stone slab with an image of the sun.
00:15And the third one leads you to a dark tunnel with a chilling breeze.
00:20Which pathway leads you to safety?
00:23Here's a tip. You should follow the beliefs of ancient Egyptians.
00:30You should pick the second path.
00:37The Egyptians believed in the power of the sun.
00:39So perhaps that's your safest choice.
00:44It's your first date with an archaeologist.
00:46He takes you to an ancient site and shows you the inscriptions marked on the wall of an old sacred site.
00:52You notice there are several numbers on the wall that form a sequence.
00:561, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
01:00But the other numbers are blurred.
01:02He asks you if you can figure out which numbers come next.
01:06Can you?
01:16The numbers that follow would be 13, 17, 19.
01:20This is a sequence of prime numbers, which can only be divided by one and themselves.
01:28A team of archaeologists discover two statues in an ancient city.
01:32But after a few studies, they uncover that one is a fake.
01:36One of the statues is made of marble and the other is made of bronze.
01:40Both look flawless and untouched by time.
01:44Can you tell which one is fake?
01:50It's the bronze one.
01:52Real ancient bronze statues end up a bit greenish due to oxidation.
01:56So if this statue looks brand new, it means it's fake.
02:02It's quiz night and the theme is Ancient Egypt.
02:06To win $100, you need to answer correctly.
02:10How many husbands did Cleopatra have during her life?
02:141, 3 or 4?
02:16How many husbands did Cleopatra have during her life?
02:201, 3 or 4?
02:30It's believed she was married three times.
02:32Her first two husbands were her brothers.
02:34And the last was the famous Mark Antony.
02:40You're walking deep within the desert in Egypt
02:42when you come across an ancient building with three sand pits in front of it.
02:46Each pit contains a half-buried object.
02:48The inscriptions on the wall warn you that only the pharaoh's gift will open the door to the temple.
02:54You see a golden scarab on the first pit,
02:58an ancient staff with the sun emblem on the second,
03:00and a stone ankh tablet on the last one.
03:04Which sacred object should you pick?
03:12The ancient staff.
03:16That's because the golden scarab is a symbol of wealth,
03:20but it was often placed in tombs as an offering to the ones who passed away.
03:24The ankh represents life, but sacred stone symbols in tombs were often part of protective magic.
03:32Touching them could trigger a curse.
03:34The sun plus the staff were symbols of power and authority of the great pharaohs.
03:42A time machine takes you back to ancient Rome.
03:46When you arrive at the door of an old temple,
03:48the guardian of the temple gives you a vase with the equation Ix plus Xi equals what written on it.
03:56It's your task to figure out the result.
03:58What's the answer, genius?
04:00The answer is XX, or 20 in our language.
04:14Ix in Roman numerals stands for 9, while Xi is 11, so the total sum is 20.
04:22You're at your best friend's house.
04:26She's a mystic and believes in the power of symbols.
04:28She asks for your help to choose the logo of her new company, based on ancient Egyptian beliefs.
04:34She asks you if she should pick a star, the moon, or the sun.
04:40What do you think she should pick?
04:50To have a prosperous business, she should pick the sun.
04:54In ancient Egypt, the sun represented the deity Ra.
04:58The sun represents vitality, warmth, light, and prosperity.
05:04You're doing your master's in ancient Greece,
05:08so you take a semester to go abroad and study the culture closely.
05:12One night, during a fancy dinner party, a professor challenges you.
05:16She makes you choose one out of three cups.
05:20The first cup is labeled with the symbol, Psi, and it's a drink used in sacred rituals.
05:26The second is O, and it's the drink of rulers and kings.
05:30The last is L, and contains river water that leads to oblivion.
05:36Which cup should you choose to gain more wisdom for your master's?
05:48The first one. The Greek letter, Psi, is a symbol often associated to the psyche,
05:54which can probably reveal great things about one's inner world.
06:00Your archaeology group decides to explore a long-sealed resting place.
06:04When you enter the main chamber, you discover an inscription that says
06:08that whoever touches the serpent's sign shall know eternal sleep.
06:12What must you avoid touching in this place, explorer?
06:24Well, you should never touch the cobra symbol!
06:28In ancient Egypt, the cobra was a protector of the pharaoh,
06:32but was also associated with some pretty hardcore curses.
06:36This term's history test is filled with questions on ancient civilizations.
06:42To get an A+, you need to answer this one correctly.
06:46Which of the following monuments was built first?
06:50The ancient Sphinx, the Tower of Babel, or Machu Picchu?
06:54The Great Sphinx of Giza. It dates back to around 2500 BCE.
07:08The Tower of Babel is mentioned in ancient texts, but has no confirmed historical date,
07:14and Machu Picchu was built much later, around the 15th century CE by the Inca civilization.
07:20Your crazy scientist friend let you use his time machine,
07:24but it was led by an AI that made you answer a question before using it.
07:28It told you that to travel to ancient Egypt, you needed to know
07:32which of these things the Egyptians weren't masters of.
07:36Architecture, mathematics, astronomy, or golf?
07:40Can you guess?
07:50It's golf, of course! Ancient Egyptians were master builders and mathematicians.
07:56They were also readers of the sky, but they hadn't figured out golf yet.
08:00You find yourself in Crete for a family vacation.
08:04You decide to explore an ancient labyrinth, and you come to an intersection.
08:08The first path is marked by a bull's head, the second is carved with a spiraling seashell,
08:14and the third leads to an open doorway, but there's smoke coming out of it.
08:19Which path should you choose?
08:29The second one! In ancient Greece, the civilization of the Minoans revered the sea.
08:35The spiral pattern represents life, eternity, and spiritual energy.
08:40So I bet that's the way you should go!
08:44You were watching a movie with your friends about the great Sphinx of Giza
08:49when you spotted some serious factual mistakes.
08:52The movie said that the Sphinx lost its nose after a heavy thunderstorm,
08:57but you know that it's not sure.
08:59You ask your friends to pick one of the most popular myths regarding the Sphinx's ripped nose,
09:04asking them if it was either Napoleon's doing or an angry man's fault.
09:09Which of these is the correct answer?
09:14One of the biggest myths says it was Napoleon who destroyed the Sphinx's nose.
09:20Your favorite barista is feeling funny today and asks you to answer a history buff question.
09:26If you had to travel back in time and choose the civilization that built their cities first,
09:31who would you choose?
09:32The Mayas in Mexico, the Mesopotamians in the Middle East, or the Romans in Europe?
09:39Since you're a genius, you said the Mesopotamians.
09:42The first city they built was called Iridu, and it was built around 5,500 BCE.
09:49Your archaeology teacher asks you to go to the public library to find a rare document.
09:55You ended up going to the library to find a rare document,
09:58but you ended up going to the library to find a rare document,
10:01but you ended up going to the library to find a rare document,
10:04Go to the public library to find a rare document.
10:07You ended up finding an old inscription talking about a ruler named Augustus.
10:12Based on his name, do you think he belonged to the Mayan civilization, the Minoans, or the Romans?
10:26He belonged to the Romans. Augustus was the first emperor of Rome, genius!
10:34Your friend accidentally time-travels to an ancient city where people are speaking Latin.
10:39To find them and bring them back, you need to figure out where they are.
10:43On the top of your mind, you think it can be Athens, Rome, or ancient Babylon.
10:48Which city do you look at first?
10:59Rome! Latin was the language of the Romans.
11:04That's it for today! So hey, if you pacified your curiosity,
