      Hi Gabriel, that was fascinating the catacombs were outstanding much like the pyramids with so many cryptic messages there. many people don't know this, but Jesus and the Virgin Mary lived in Matareyah Egypt when he was a young boy for 2 to 4 years escaping King Herod's wrath.

      Whoa, I think I just had deja vu. Was there another video with that horse drawn cart at 1:12 or did I just remember dreaming it?? I enjoyed watching your walking tour. 👍 BTW-How much was the catacombs tour guide?

      Even the odd first day in Egypt was alright to see Gabriel. It left this viewer Craig the budget novice traveler, but not for long guy. UK. Wondering about what next? Alexandria has probably the best catacombs ever. In comparison to decorated Jian temples or Byzantine churches.
      Loving the prices of Egypt! Go Gabe. Alexandrian fortress reminded me of the place you went where the Muslims asked you about your faith. The place where they said Jesus is buried under the Muslims mosque. Good court yard!

      Sources say Ptolemy I captured the convoy that was supposed to take Alexander the Great to Macedon to take his remains to Alexandria. Latest sources about the subject say Caligula ( third emperor of the Roman Empire era) stole his armor and what happened to his tomb is still a mystery.. hope we can discover his tomb during our lifetime. Alexandria seems well worth to visit. Thanks for the video and safe travels, Gabe.

      Amazing job Gabriel! The music and video quality editing reminding of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Especially parts of the catacombs and Uber ride. Wishing you only the best.

      Very interesting city! You can actually use Uber to get between the cities in Egypt at decent rates if you don't want to take the buses, I would have thought you would spend more than just one day in Alexandria though

      There is an archaeologist from Alexandria who has been digging in the city, specifically in a park, for years, if not decades, believing that the tomb of Alexander the Great is located there. It would be a global sensation if her assumption is correct and she were to discover it one day. Ever since, I have been following everything related to the city with great interest. The part where you were in the catacombs with the guide was super interesting. I look forward to your next videos.

      thank you for correctly explaining the conditioning of the human animal to accept a new identity and defend erroneously what they have accepted becoming something out, example, from Yankee to American , from Azteca to American . saludos
