Worth flagging: this video about Egypt's oldest surviving photographs from 1860-1900 has no spoken narration in its transcript — just music and a brief 'Heat. Heat.' at 03:02. The title alone suggests it's a visual journey through 19th-century archival imagery of ancient monuments, daily life, and landscapes, but no archaeological findings are articulated in the audio. If you check it out, you'll be relying on the visuals themselves! Credit to the creator for putting this archival collection together.
