You know what? Compared to the vapid, condescending and outright dangerous shit he's done for videos, this is kind of ok? Exposing all of these children who would be very unlikely to be interested in egyptology otherwise to ancient Egypt, the same way many of us got exposed to it through weird Egypt documentaries in the 90s and 2000s, is not that evil.

I hate that this guy has been given what seems like infinity money, and that he uses that money to gain abusive access to archeological sites, but at its core I think it's not that terrible?

Inb4 some article or expose about how his crew destroyed some 5000 year old artifact trying to get a good angle or some shit like that, and I'll have to eat my words.

I guess he could be blinding greek children for history content. So I agree this is rather low on the list of evil deeds the great beast has commited.

Yeah, he's not making working class people grovel on camera for Healthcare, shitty houses or life-changing amounts of money, so that's a marked improvement from his usual stuff.
