Did you know that the video would also be skipped by those of us at work, where the filters do not allow us to view ridiculous claims on videos at that Gold Standard of evidentiary retention - youtube?
The Egyptians did know some stuff we did not. I am not arguing for astrology existence but it is based on egyptian/sumerian cultures.
These people knew how many planets we had and that the world was round a long time before we figured it out, and accurately describe planets that we didnt know existed until this century.
See, now you've blown it.
In the above quote you expose the extent of your own ignorance. Now anyone that knows anything at all about ancient history will consider you to be merely a goofy knothead.
See, it's painfully and embarassingly obvious that you know absolutely nothing about Sumer. If you did, you'd know that your hero Zechariah Sitchin has lied to you about the extent of the astronomical knowledge possessed by the Sumerians and the Akkadians.
The Sumerians claimed to be more advanced than us in that they claimed to have "gods" among them who were from space.
I suggest you read what they wrote about their gods. They made no such claim.
The english word "Thought" comes from Egypts "Thoth".
You should have stopped after the previous quote. This shows that you are even more ignorant than I had supposed. That is, you make this etymological claim as an aside, casually, without even checking to see how obscenely incorrect you are:

thought (n.)
O.E. þoht, geþoht, from stem of þencan "to conceive of in the mind, consider" (see think).
If you can't understand the above, it's trying to tell you that the word "thought" comes from the Old English word "þoht," which sounds like "bought" and doesn't come from Thoth, which is an English attempt at sounding out the name of a God in a language that nobody has heard in more than a thousand years.
Even Isaac Newton spent most of his time studying alchemy.
As opposed to?
I mean, Chemistry wasn't known then. And if you want to get technical, Newton spent most of his time studying the Bible, not alchemy.
The english word "gibberish" can be traced back to the cryptic notes left by the alchemist Geber.
Use the link I gave you before you post the root of anymore words, I beg you.
