Man. Egypt is a creme de la creme, man. It's the most monumental, beautiful, like, you know, when you try to imagine what it would have looked like. You know, if you've seen visual recreations of the Giza Plateau, you know, the Valley Temple must have been absolutely stunning. Okay, so one day when you go to Egypt, hopefully you go this year.

When you go to the Valley Temple, for me, it's the best thing in all of Egypt. I think it's more stunning what it must have looked like than even the pyramids themselves. The blocks are absolutely gigantic. Like one block is bigger than this whole wall. And brought from 500 miles south in Aswan, these are the ones with the cyclopean strangely angled stones like you see in Peru.

And when you walk in, most people ignore it, but that floor is a calcite white crystal floor. And so imagine when it was polished and when it was finished off, it must have been gleaming. And at some point in time, there were these diorite kofra statues. Maybe you've seen them before. They're like impossibly well-made out of the hardest stone in Egypt.

the hardest stone in Egypt and it's this busy black diorite gleaming polished statues and the lintels that go above would have allowed when the Sun you know reaches its like zenith in the sky in the day in the middle of the day it would have shot through these holes in the ceiling and so it would have illuminated the white floor and you would have had the solid black statues that are that are shining in this in the Sun's light and so you're walking in and it's like glowing inside of the temple and

And and when you walk outside the front door of the temple, there's a dock in it and you can see the dock like slopes into the ground. So the water isn't there anymore. The Nile is much further to the east now. But it would have. But the Nile came straight up to the front step of the of the valley temple.

And it's this huge temple. It's the largest building on the planet at the time, probably, other than the pyramids themselves. And then you step into it and it is the most sacred, most impressive thing that exists on the earth at that time. no matter if it was made in 2500 B.C. or if it was made in 10,000 B.C., is the most impressive building that exists in the world at that time.
