Schools canceled and look at all these snap to play. Hey, where did all that come from? Ow. From the king in his castle. You had better build your Santa castle if you're not a sitting king, then you're just a sitting duck, quack, quack. I say we crown king dongle. No way mom. As long as he's in that fortress, he can blast us all day long. Let's go home. Giving up so easily, why not just build your own fortress? We flop. Don't go on electric generator snow flowers and a snow cannon. And we got mittens. And an extra stick of gum. Wow, this is a start. The word's most impressive structures were created with the most rudimentary things. All it took was a little ingenuity and organization. And let me guess. We've got to get sucked through time right about now. And you'll be better off because of it. Man, I'm not just like a man. What's up with this? Where are we? Good old armana. Egypt 1335 BCE. When the Egyptians told time with sundials and the first harp was made and played. Yeah, but they haven't gotten around to making pants. Oh, no, no. But they're highness. I see nothing wrong with my plans. Almond ramen, the idea is to enjoy these party. If I use those plans, it would be boring. And you. Why are you too not borrowing before me? Easy. You're just a kid. I am Tutankhamun . The king. Right, and I'm Cena, queen of the Nile. Forget that. Just kidding. I am not kidding. State. This is the king Tut. Yeah, the kid who had the tomb with all the great stuff in it. Write your stitch. Tutankhamun was the ten year old ruler over all of Egypt. Better bob. Sorry for the misunderstanding your highness. We're just here to find out how you guys do things without advanced technology. Uh, I mean, big tools and stuff. Why would slaves need to know such things? Hey, easy with that talk. We're not slaves. Of course you are. Oh, you'd be wearing wings. Take mine for instance. This is the wig of my father. The great akhenaten, the king of upper and lower Egypt. Good hands. I know what it's like to have a bad hair day. Let me fix that for you. But it's not of death not. You slaves are quick footed and clever. How would you like to earn your freedom? Would we get lunch too? Pee my chief advisers and plan a party. The celebration of the arrival of flood season. You party for flood? Wouldn't there be a lot of death and destruction with that? No, no, denial rivers, annual flood makes our fields fertile and helps feed my empire. It's the most important event of the year. If it's a theme party, we could all wear life preservers. Thanks, but no thanks. Why don't you go for it? You'll get to see the sights and besides it's the least you can do for Tutankhamun. This poor kid isn't going to be around in another 8 years. So what? Never mind. Okay, we'll do it. Great. If I left it to my cheap adviser, amen ramen, this party would be as much fun as I lost infestation. I want the party that's fun for kids like us. Replace me with slaves with the I must dispose of them. Take this cartouche, my seal. It will allow you to buy anything you need to make my party a success. Awesome. An ancient credit card. I will give you until the jackals come down from the hills tomorrow evening. Don't disappoint me. How can you tell attendees up with all this chicken scratch? Here, those are hieroglyphics. The Egyptians use pictures instead of letters in their alphabet. I think that one's the ankh in tooth and almond. Right, you are stitched. 5000 years ago, the Egyptians wrote with over 600 pictures signs are hieroglyphs. Nobody could figure out what the picture characters meant until the discovery of the Rosetta stone in 1799. This stone told the same story in three different alphabets. Official Egyptian and everyday Egyptian hieroglyphics, I comparing the three, the mystery of the pictures was solved and the language decoded. This vulture stood for the letter a and this viper represented the letter F achmed how many times have I told you I before eagle except after Siegel. Everyone says our best bet for a party location is upriver. But how are we supposed to get there? Rough is now called reasonable prices at the surface. What look? This is gonna be easy. Take us somewhere we can throw a big party. Cost is no option. I know the perfect place. This is hatshepsut's temple. Isn't it magnificent? So how many bulldozers do you think it took to build this place? Not one bird dosed on this jet. They were too busy hauling this huge stones. If they brought the party here, the key will put their heads in olive oil jars just to create and see. Well, I'm so. I don't know. Something about this place gives me the creeps. Oh, it's just the lousy music those guys are playing. Say paleo, that tune is a tad grim. How about playing something loud and upbeat? Both ears say or Cyrus would curse you for a hundred generations. Sounds cranky. But what if we just talk to the so sorry sky? You impossible is the God of the underworld. This place is sacred. It is a mortuary. From again? Oh yeah. Osiris was the Egyptian God who rose over the dead. You mean this is a graveyard? Oh yes, hatshepsut the first woman to be made pharaoh is buried within. Ew. We can't fell apart in a graveyard. Come on, stitch we were out of here. Any other ideas Rafi? Well, that is always the temple of karnak. No one is buried there and it is just a cross. It's still hot. Oh, why don't you dangle your feet in the river? It's just a thing for beating the heat. Hey, yeah. Great idea. Today is blue plate special. Prato child Allah people. Sweet. Oh. Switch. No, no, no. Look foolish children. You deep for a long time, not short lived. My Swiss is fool. Who can help? I've seen worse. Good thing you brought him in when you did. We wouldn't want that to fester. We'll check in to see how you're doing once you found a spot for the party. And we've still got to find out how to build a fortress better than dongle. Right mo, well, I hope you did the right thing for Rafi. What kind of treatment do you think you'll get? Come on, mall. It's 1335 BCE. He'll be lucky to get a few spells and a dash of mumbo jumbo. Wrongs that Egypt has already been a thriving civilization for 2000 years, and in that time they've developed an impressive body of medical knowledge. If an Egyptian doctor fried a catfish head in oil and applied the hot greasy gunk to the affected area on your body, what would you be suffering from? A chronic constipation, B, my grand headache, or C, chapped lips. If you guys be migraine headache, congratulations, you're on your way to practicing medicine in ancient Egypt. Some of their cures might sound weird, but doctors and ancient Egypt really knew their stuff. They used sutures for wounds, splints for broken bones, and even mapped the human circulatory system. Okay, I feel much better. Check it out. The temple of carnac. With its grand hall and a 134 pillars, this temple is the largest building with pillars and hallways ever constructed. Looks like plenty of room for party, guests. You got that right. See those pillars? Each one weighs more than an Indian elephant. They stand 7 elephants high and two elephants across and a hundred people could stand on top of each one. Yeah, but there won't be enough room for all of them to dance. The point is this massive structure was built without cranes, molders, hydraulics, electricity, or even iron tools. Okay, this we need to know without fancy equipment, how do we build this place? See for yourself. Wow, look at all the workers. Check it out, mall. They're using a lever and fulcrum. What the Egyptians lacked in technology, they made up for with manpower and ingenuity. Person power and ingenuity. So if you don't have the tools, get just get more help. So where'd they get all these workers? They're actually slaves. They were housed by the government and were paid for their labor in food. We can't start the party here. It's not finished yet. But maybe that guy feeding a workers could cater it. Rafi, what are you doing here? You should be in bed. You don't say. Let's go. What can you do for us now party hit king? Please not so loud. I have a headache decides of this being. Hakeem serves nothing but the best for flawed celebrations. Everybody eats this stuff and no one can seek. I tried preparing something asked for aman Roman. The king's weaker the Pfizer, but his feet on my shoes and left in my face. Sounds like a creep. Okay, so we've got lettuce onions, leeks and cucumbers. And figs for dessert. And you must not forget the local favorite. Yummy fried Burma. Gross. What about real meat? Meat. Beef and mutton is only far royalty. Good. Add enough steaks to feed over 6000. Had the year slave children expect to pay for all this. Cottage flourish. For the king himself? I'll write you up a beetle right away. And one more thing. Are there any good party locations around here? Everyone is talking about the temple of Luxor. Thanks a king. We will let you know where to deliver the food. Becoming Ralphie. That is better. I think we found our party sports stitch. Good choice. The temple of Luxor here in themes is the religious center of the empire. This should be enough room for me to show off my dance moves. Enjoy it while you can my saint Friends. Soon the party will be over. For you. Yep. This is the perfect place to spread out the dinner. And then it's your dinner night. Sorry, mom, we can't put the food here. Why not? See that carving there on the wall? I'm pretty sure that's the God of regurgitation. Date. Just be grateful that much on the fried door mouse. So. It makes me so cute and the veggie dip over there. Finds them. Rafi. You're saved us. What the hell? That's got a really hurt. Your friend is lucky it was a very old cobra, not much poison. Poor wrap he's got so many bandages he looks like a mummy. With one very important distinction, he's still alive. The ancient Egyptians believed that when someone died, their soul survived. And in order to pass into the afterlife, the body needed to be kept in good shape to make the journey. So the internal organs were removed and placed in special containers called canopic jars to lock in freshness. His brain was removed too, but it was cast away or fed to the animals. The brain, after all, wasn't thought to be a very useful organ. The body was then dried, coated with resins and later wrapped in hundreds of yards of Lenin. She used some extra gauze in case your clumsy friend has any more accidents. Ralphie, we're all set for the big party. Thanks to you. We're gonna look like a big success to the king. No, it isn't possible. I mean, it isn't possible without games. Games. What about games? In Tutankhamun's day, kids in Egypt played marbles using pieces of stone or marble from construction sites. If they couldn't find anything else, they used fruit pips. It just would not be a real party without games. We're out of time. What do we do? Allow me to help you. No, no, no, Rafi. You've already done too much. Nonsense. I'll take you to a place where there are lots of games. The biggest selection of games for the afterlife is right? In there. The pyramid of kofu. That's the Great Pyramid. We're going inside. Heavy. Yep, about 6 million tons heavy. Positioned behind the Sphinx at 756 feet square and 481 feet high, the Great Pyramid of khufu is the largest solid stone structure in the world. There is so much stone here. It's been estimated that if you cut it all into two and a half inch rods, you'd have enough to reach the moon. Assuming it stayed balanced. According to Greek historian herodotus, it took 400,000 men 20 years to build this colossal tomb, a tomb laced with secret passageways, dead ends and deadly traps. But after all, that time and energy it didn't take nearly as long for tomb thieves to find passages to crawl inside and remove all the treasures. Are we sort of doing the same thing? What do you mean? We raised in a tomb to remove its treasures. So very absurd. And like many tomb raiders, you have just walked into a trap. What's the matter? We were going to give you a big tip. I am in ramen. King Tut's wicked adviser. Oh yeah. I gotta tell you. Your advice really stinks, buddy. When I take credit for all your work on this part. I'll return to that stage or while you spend all eternity in a tube. Date. What are we gonna do? We can stop in here. Maybe not. I think there's some kind of jammer jelly in here. Actually, that's a canopic jar containing a dead pharaoh's internal organs. Let's start looking for an escape tunnel, okay? I think we found one. Come on. We've got a party to throw. Yeah, arm and ramen isn't gonna get credit for our work. Look, it's him. The weasel. What's the plan? No. Man, wrong. You're dead. What do you want of me? The two. Well, I guess that's all wrapped up. Slave stitch. Sleep mode. I am so pleased with the party that I will grant you your freedom. Thanks your highness. Oh, and you must meet my wife. Life. Yep. Young marriages were quite common in 1335 BCE. On kiss and bumming, these are my glorious party planners. Oh, I just love the new game pin the brain and the mommy. It is the best. Yes. Silly, but cerebral. In the ultimate land of monuments, I think we just pulled off a monumental task. And now we know how these people built these monuments using only the most basic tools and a little ingenuity. Here we come dongles. Lonely kingdoms. Come on, we can not do dongle. Yeah. Just take a little ingenuity. And a lot of manpower. Correction, person power. Ready? I'm. Fire. How dare you? This really stinks, you know. Correction, it really. Don't say it Maul.
