I'm leaning towards ever, too. Because, look, can we think of any other civilization that has survived for 3,000 years? Right.

That you can go visit right now. But ancient Egypt, as a culture, survived for 3,000 years. It survived the Greek occupation. It survived the previous Persian occupation. It was only the Romans that brought it low. The Roman occupation of Egypt was the beginning of the end.

They certainly were. And I think they had mastery of techniques that we don't know about yet. And perhaps equipment. And perhaps equipment. The Great Pyramid remains to me an abiding mystery, which despite probably 100 or more visits to the Great Pyramid and being inside it and spending the night in it and exploring every passage and every chamber...

including the relieving – so-called relieving chambers above the king's chamber. I still can't figure it out. I don't understand how it was possible to do this. And then the time span which Egyptology gives us because Egyptology is fixed on the idea that the Great Pyramid is a tomb and only a tomb. And then it was built in about 20 years. 23 years.

Because if it's the tomb of Khufu, then it had to be built in 23 years because that was his reign. He would start, in theory, building it at the beginning of his reign and it's finished by the end of his reign. That's 23 years.

And in the broader span, if you look at the fourth dynasty pyramids and even go back to the end of the third dynasty, the pyramid of Xhosa, the step pyramid, you find that this is a sudden... emergence of incredible skills, which lasts for about a hundred years, and then it goes away. It stops.

The pyramids that follow the Great Pyramid of Giza, the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau, the pyramids that follow them, the fifth dynasty pyramids, are really poor. They're very, very poor quality workmanship. They're falling to pieces. You can hardly recognize from the outside that they're a pyramid at all. When you get inside,
