but we just don't know where they are because they're under the ground.
We just found this one.
Well, Seti found it when he built his temple, and he's like, holy shit, we found this giant granite subterranean structure.
Let's turn the temple this way.
But, yeah, I think there's a strong possibility as well that there's a lot more of that stuff.
To their credit, archaeologists suggest the same thing.
The scope and scale of what is under the sand in Egypt, I mean, I think even most mainstream archaeologists will tell you like 70% of it's still as yet undiscovered, at least.
That's nothing quite like it.
I mean, Luxor, what do they say?
The stats around Luxor is like one third of the world's antiquities in this one area, just at Luxor.
And it's not even the Giza Plateau.
That's just, that's Upper Egypt down at Luxor with the West Bank and the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple.
It's astonishing, and they're still digging stuff up.
The Temple of Amenhotep II or III is near Colossi of Memnon.
These giant 600, 700-ton statues are like the front door to it, and they're slowly excavating this monstrous temple behind it, and they keep finding these remnants of these colossal statues.
I've heard rumors, just rumors.
I'm going to Egypt next week.
Hopefully we can, I want to get a look at this.
And I've heard rumors that they found like a hand from a statue that's even bigger than the biggest ones we've found so far.
