00:05What if I told you that the people who built Egypt's secret tombs were not slaves, but

00:12skilled workers who lived in a quiet village far from the world and carried secrets that

00:18were never meant to be shared?

00:20They painted the walls of kings' tombs.

00:23They wrote prayers for the afterlife.

00:25And some say they faced strange fates because of what they knew.

00:29This is the true story of the forgotten tomb builders of Egypt, the people of Deir el-Medina.

00:36Welcome to Vault of Centuries, where we bring the past back to life.

00:403000 years ago, a small village was built near the Valley of the Kings.

00:46Its name was Deir el-Medina.

00:48This was no ordinary village.

00:50It was home to the most trusted workers in Egypt.

00:53Their job?

00:54To build and decorate the secret tombs of pharaohs.

00:58They carved tunnels into the mountains, painted the walls with holy stories, and wrote magic

01:04spells to protect the king's soul after death.

01:08These men were not forced.

01:10They were paid workers, respected, and highly skilled.

01:15But they had to keep one big promise.

01:17Never share what they saw.

01:19The village was small.

01:20Two rows of stone houses.

01:23A temple.

01:24And only one guarded gate.

01:26Each day, the men walked across the desert.

01:29To reach the tombs they were building.

01:32Each night, they came back home to their families.

01:35They got food, clothes, oil, and beer from the government.

01:39Even doctors and priests were there to help them.

01:41But they followed strict rules.

01:43They couldn't talk about their work.

01:45They couldn't tell anyone where the tombs were.

01:48Keeping secrets was part of the job.

01:50Inside the tombs, these men made something special.

01:53They painted pictures.

01:55And wrote words.

01:57From a book called The Book of the Dead.

01:59This book helped the soul travel safely through the next world.

02:03They used brushes made of reeds.

02:06Colors made from crushed stones.

02:08And worked carefully in the dark with only oil lamps.

02:12Every symbol had a meaning.

02:14Every color told a story.

02:16These tombs were not just for looks.

02:18They were full of prayers, hopes, and protection.

02:21Most workers followed the rules.

02:24But a few made mistakes.

02:26Some people took small things from the tombs.

02:28A gold ring, a tool, a piece of treasure.

02:31Old papers found in the desert.

02:34Tell us about real court cases.

02:36People were caught, punished, and removed from the village.

02:39And then strange things began to happen.

02:42Some workers got sick.

02:44Others left and never came back.

02:46A few were never found.

02:48People whispered.

02:49Maybe it was a warning.

02:50Maybe they had broken a sacred promise.

02:53For more than 400 years, the people of Der El Medina built tombs, wrote prayers, and

03:00kept secrets.

03:01But over time, Egypt's power faded.

03:05And the village was slowly left behind.

03:08Sand covered the homes.

03:09The people were forgotten.

03:11Until the 1900s.

03:14Archaeologists found the lost village.

03:15They found homes with dishes still inside.

03:19Letters written by hand, still easy to read.

03:22Paintings in the tombs, still bright with color.

03:25One letter said, I am tired.

03:28I asked the gods for peace.

03:30Today we remember the kings of Egypt.

03:32But we should also remember the workers who made the kings final homes.

03:37They lived quietly.

03:39They worked with care.

03:40They left behind beautiful art.

03:43And deep mystery.

03:44Their village, Der El Medina, is now one of the best kept ancient places ever found.

03:50Because even though their names were forgotten, their work still speaks to us.

03:55What do you think?

03:56Can ordinary people doing important work in silence leave behind something that lasts forever?

04:03Let us know in the comments.

04:05And don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to Vault of Centuries, because the past still

04:10speaks if we're willing to listen.
