The Pyramids as you've never seen them before!

The Pyramids as you've never seen them before!



Nicolas Aubert, from Malaga in Spain, glides above the ancient Pyramids of Giza attached to a paramotor. The professional paramotorist then passes just inches from the top of the 448-foot Pyramid of Khafre. Mr Aubert, 21, circles around two further pyramids, built between 2550 and 2490 B.C, and films a sunse.




This is the breathtaking moment a man paramotors over the Pyramids of Giza – giving an incredible bird's-eye view of the ancient structures.  
The clip, filmed over the Egyptian city, captures Nicolas Aubert as he glides above the stunning set of pyramids in a thin layer of fog.

The Northern Coast Of Egypt!


The northern coast of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: الساحل الشمالى‎ El Sāḥel El Šamāli, north coast, commonly shortened to الساحل El Sāḥel, "the coast") extends for about 1,050 km (650 mi) along the Mediterranean Sea from the eastern side of the Sinai Peninsula at the Egypt-Gaza border to the western village of Sallum at Egypt's border with Libya. It is one of the longest Mediterranean coastlines in North Africa.

Nefertiti and the lost dynasty!



Nefertiti and the lost dynasty!

For the first time, National Geographic Channel and Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, use a CT scan machine that can go inside these two mummies to get scientific evidence that will establish whether either could be Nefertiti — and if not, who they may be. In this one-hour special, Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty documents the high-tech forensic investigation conducted by an international team dedicated to resolving the fate of the famed queen. In the city of Amarna, there lived Egypt’s most famous royal spouse, Nefertiti, and her beloved husband, Akhenaten, the pharaoh. They were revolutionary leaders, reinventing Egyptian religion and building a new capital city to honour the sun god. Also present at this time were Akhenaten’s secondary wife, Kiya, who many scholars believe was the mother of King Tut, as well as Akhenaten’s mother, the powerful Queen Tiye. It was a tangled set of relationships that would result in the birth of the legendary King Tut and the eventual disappearance of all the other key players. What happened to members of Tut’s royal family, the lost dynasty of Amarna?

Blue Hole Divers




The number of diver deaths in the Blue Hole is not  known, one source suggests 130 in the last fifteen years.[4] [3][5] The majority of those killed were experienced, including highly trained technical divers and diving instructors. There have also been snorkelling deaths at the surface unrelated to the depth of the hole.[7]
A notable death was that of Yuri Lipski, a 22-year-old Russian-Israeli diving instructor on 28 April 2000 at a depth of 115 metres after an uncontrolled descent. [3] [8] Yuri carried a video camera, which filmed his death. This has made it the best known death at the site and one of the best known diving deaths in the world.[4] The video shows Yuri in an involuntary and uncontrolled descent, eventually landing on the sea floor at 115 metres where he panics, removes his regulator and tries to fill his buoyancy compensator but is unable to rise. At that depth he would be subject to severe nitrogen narcosis, which may have impaired his judgement, induced hallucinations and caused panic and confusion. Lipski had a single tank of heliox (a mix of oxygen and helium), technical divers at the planned dive depth more commonly use multiple stage tanks filled with trimix (oxygen, nitrogen, and helium) to reduce narcosis and decompression times.
Lipski's body was recovered the following day by Tarek Omar, one of the world's foremost deep-water divers, at the request of Lipski's mother.[8][9] Omar had earlier twice warned Lipski against attempting the dive. On the bottom, Omar found Lipski's helmet camera, still intact.
