History for Granite is an interesting channel. Basically Douglas Rennie is a self-educated enthusiast for the history of the great #pyramids and their construction. As another amateur, I want to take issue with an assertion he makes in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Qe7xDf_ksBasically he sees hoarder-level accumulations of jars of food and provisions in mastabas as evidence of "fear" -- that wealthy Egyptians feared they wouldn't have enough in the afterlife. I don't know if I agree.
