You asked for it, so here’s the follow-up!
Just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Over the past centuries, archaeologists, historians, and engineers have reconstructed a great deal of the technology and science used to build the Egyptian pyramids. This week we look at ancient Egyptian mathematics, building techniques, tools, and culture to reconstruct the Great Pyramid’s construction.

You asked for it and here it is! How the pyramids were built, a follow-up to our video about who built the pyramids. Have a different idea about how they were built? Let us know in the comments… and bring your evidence!
It's Okay To Be Smart I'm early and hi
People are saying that the pyramids survived an ice age.
Its very recent research,is there anything true about it?
Im gonna look into it anyway hahaha
hi
It's Okay To Be Smart how are you doing with the budget cut?
It's Okay To Be Smart please make a video about time traveling
They were built in creative mode
🤦♂️
Correct.
ffs

The answer is so obvious and easy to figure out. Isaac Newton wasn’t born and gravity wasn’t invented yet, so people could float up and bricks weren’t as heavy.

U think aliens made the pyramid?

Most logical explanation I’ve ever heard
There is a great deal of "We really don't know" that got glossed over here.
It's damn near impossible to know anything for certain that happened 4500 years ago. Anyone watching this should already be aware of that. Wasn't aliens tho.
Evidence Aliens didn’t build it?
@@stannats2637 Not possible to prove a negative. On the other hand wehave plenty of evidence people built it. I.E. Tools, unfinished monuments, papyrus showing people transported the rocks, even paintings showing workers in action. And the absence of aliens of course.

@@jamesdwyer7752 My apologies, I should have clarified; we have zero evidence of interactions between ancient Egyptians and aliens who helped them stack rocks and then bailed without a trace. It's the absence of little grey men in tomb paintings, carvings, texts, relics and so forth. Personally I think it's sad that people detract from the incredible achievements of an ancient civilization by saying "aliens did it".
If you watch 45 videos on how the pyramids were built, you get 45 different methods of construction.
That's why I believe aliens made it
@@aniketvishwakarma8219 of all the methods I've seen this is the only one I know that is complete bs
Everything from giant buzz saws to water ways
And, None of them are correct.
There are a small handful of ideas and theories on how they were built. Most of the *_would_* work.
Fun fact: the pyramids are as ancient to cleopatra as cleopatra is to us.
MMA Warfare it's so amazing how long Egyptian society lasted, they were actually alive and doing their thing while some mammoths still walked the earth.
Okay.
Cleopatra era is closer to the moon landing than to the pyramids making.
MMA Warfare Cleo is actually closer to the making of the iPhone and space travel then she is to her own queendoms pyramids
You watch Joe Rogan.
I wish we could all band together and built something massive today. Something unifying and beautiful that we can all be proud of
A wall
Reminds me of the Tower of Babel... and we know what happened there...
I'm all for a wall, but preferably, something that keeps rising seas out instead of people.
@@iversonpaulalay5514 Amen to that! I was thinking more of like a giant monument to the Earth or something something that will last for thousands of years so people in the future will know that things were built after the pyramids should everything get buried again. But instead of honoring some ruler it would honor our planet. But you are right, we need to use resources to protect it first.
I agree! Something that each country can provide to make something that says this is built by Earth! :3
THAT's what an unified human race should work on? Not like ending hunger and things that matter?
Oh, wow! It was actually very easy to build them... This guy is so smart! I think I'll go and build a few of them with some of my friends now.
Have fun
@@mazyckl4065 I am. Thanks.
You have thousands of friends and hundreds of years to do it with?
The last thing he said about the pyramids was "It doesnt mean building them was easy, in fact, it was the opposite".
@@treeinafield5022 it’s claimed it was built in only 20 years

or to say " I wasn't there 4,000 years ago , or "we don't who built it or how long ago "
@@MrBashProductions Then it's also ok to say that God put them there for man to study.
Ah, the arrogance of humans. We think we own the universe.

@ezeeckiel 13 thousand years ago was the last reset. Some now believe the great pyramid predates that and the Egyptians found it and then built more.. But none as nice as the great pyramid because Thier skills were lacking for that particular model....

@@patriotparrot7226 Because he stole ancient artifacts and hid the truth from the government, do some research.
hawass is the biggest fraud and intellectual theft there is, steals others ideas takes others credits, takes artifacts for profit, he is one all round bas ass, and anyone with a genuine interest and knowledge of the design and workings of the pyramids he labels pyramidiots, well dr hawASS look who has egg on their face now, you egregious fool.

Stacked squares??? How about those giant triangular pieces? Chipped out by hand at perfectly congruent angles. This is embarrassing. Do yourself a favor and do research, no painting or hieroglyph of the pyramids exists anywhere in Egypt, and no mummy has been found in ANY pyramid.

This is the third video on how pyramids were made that I watched today. In which I must say this was the most informative in that regard. But still none of these videos give you a complete step by step on how it was done.
Ha! I knew it!! We taught the *Aliens* how to build a Pyramid!!!!
LOL!
T gg lol
But what's really difficult is teaching Pyramids to build Aliens, especially the shape shifting reptilian variety. Now that's a trick...
T Yea, how did we teach anyone to quarry, transport, cut with precision, and place in precision 2.3 MILLION blocks in 23yrs? Do the math, that's 1 block every 4 minutes working 24/7 - with no margin for error. But I'm sure loud-mouthed Americans can get it done in half the time..
And that's just one..
demigodlike, with a name like "demi god like", I would think you would be one of the last people to dispute the claims of this video and my OP comment? Oh wait...you're trolling. Never mind.
The right answer is: WE STILL DON"T KNOW. It's ignorance to think we know how.
@Nick Nack If we had a good idea, then we could've been able to demonstrate. But we couldn't.
@Nick Nack Ok Nick, what's your beliefs regarding the pyramids building? How was it done in your opinion?
Nick Nack *crickets*
@Nick Nack Ok
The best idea I've seen is the Geopolymer Cement / Concrete method, doesn't cover the granite blocks, but they can replicate all the limestone ones, and with technology available at the time. Also explains the perfect joins. Look it up.
Thank you for this channel opening up my perspective after I watched 'Chariots of the God' in 1997.
The very fact that they could build these awesome massave things with such precision 4000 odd years ago,and the fact that present day building experts are not exactly sure or agree with how they did it leaves me feeling like I feel about the big bang theory!
They are not sure simply because we can't take them apart to know exactly how it was done.
Given a billion dollars and 50 years to tease the structure apart with painstaking detail we would know absolutely how it was done.
Alas that is never going to happen primarily because the pyramids are priceless national monuments that they will no more take to pieces than the French would da Vinci's Mona Lisa painting.
The science absolutely exists to examine it using destructive methods, but given time and further scientific advancement we might one day be able to do it entirely without moving a single block away using non destructive scanning techniques.
They couldn't. It's nonsense. Likely that structure is more than 12000 years old and you can tell that because there is water erosion on the base of the pyramid. Egypt wasn't a rainforrest 4000 years ago.
Chuck Norris built the Pyramids

Oh your right it was the aliens huh
I just saw a documentary on RUclips titled “ The Movie Great Pyramid K 2019,” which I found to be very interesting. I would highly recommend people to watch it if they are interested in ancient civilizations, especially the Egyptian civilization.
That "Documentary" is wrong.
you should talk about the acropolis. one fun fact we learnt at school was that to build the gods statues they made them slimmer at the top on purpose because it was on a mountain so the people looking at it from below could see them in normal proportions.
you mean thicker at the top?
@@asurvivor6150 yeah...that...oops...now that I think about it, you are right
I would love to see someone actually craft granite into perfectly smooth edges & right angles using dolorite pounders. Has anyone ever seen that happen?
Dolerite was employed along with fire to obtain the basic shapes. After that a block could be smoothed via polishing using an abrasive. Also copper can in fact cut granite if you similarly use an abrasive such as sand or corundum. Yes it may be time consuming = but they had the time.
There are few granite blocks in the Great Pyramid while the Egyptian engineers would have known how many were required before the first foundation stone was laid. Accordingly the quarry - which like all quarries which would have partially quarried stone on hand as they were in continuous operation after all - would have had literally years to fashion and transport the required stone to Giza before it needed to be placed in the pyramid.
Finally they had tools like squares or levels etc. you know = we have examples of them found in tombs as well as depictions of the craftsmen employing them. Just look at the depictions on the tomb walls of Rekhmire as but one example. So it helps if you first learn the history before making assumptions. Just saying.
@@varyolla435 never worked with your hands in hard stone to say such nonsense ??
Vary Olla if you think 2.3 million 3 tonne blocks were hand balled on top of each other you’re literally a mindless idiot. Sorry but you really are. Accepting this as gospel is stupid. You’re trying to give an explanation that literally doesn’t fit with what you’re saying. What an idiot
@Joseph Liebgott Google Adel Kaleny who is an Egyptologist who specializes in Egyptian stone working and quarrying. He conducted experiments using fire etc. based upon what was found at the Aswan and other quarries.
Also look up Per Storemyr. He is a geo-archeologist who looks at ancient stone quarrying etc. and who has his own website. Have a nice day.
well soon we will go back to stoneage.... if you survive that you might actually get to see it :P
I would love to see a modern company with all technology available to build a pyramid from the same material and height as the pyramid of Giza. Just to see how long it takes with modern equipment think that would only make it way more impressive.
Google the Science Channel series: If We Built It Today. Among the projects they considered was to duplicate the Great Pyramid. Modern construction companies would be happy to build you a pyramid - an even better one for that matter. It would however be cost prohibitive.
To construct a duplicate Great Pyramid made of granite in 5 years would cost several billion dollars today given our economics. Skilled labor costs alone for a workforce of several hundred craftsmen - stonemasons, engineers, etc. - would run into the hundreds of millions of dollars at modern wage scale over the course of a 5 year project cost. Then you have the environmental impact studies etc. while the actual cost of the granite would not be as much as many might assume. Quarries could easily provide the requisite stone and ship it via sea transport to Egypt where the pyramid would be sited. Have a nice day.
@@varyolla435 As a Civil Engineer, I can assure you it is not that simple. Many factors come into play during the construction process. For example, the pyramid has 8 sides only visible on the solstices (this alone raises many challenges). In effect, thousands of blocks would have unique dimensions. The years of planning on modern software alone would take 5 years before mere excavation commences. There are about a 100 more obstacles to consider. With much respect, do some research. The topic deserves more investigation.
@@apricotscroll433 As a supposed engineer I must say you are not thinking very hard. Just saying.
Moral of the story: what you see = *WAS NOT* what was intended to be seen - doh!!!
So all this "8-sided....." nonsense typifies the facile confirmation bias logic employed by some apparently incapable of thinking very hard. The outer casing stones were stolen by stone robbers centuries ago. So what remains was never intended to be seen = meaning you *ASSUME* the finished pyramid also had these supposed 8 sides...........except what remains at the top of Khafre's pyramid does not reflect such an optical effect.
Enjoy your argumentum ad ignorantiam.........and your apparently fantasies.

Wow, genius man. You really are a genius and to think it was so simple. Millions of 2 ton rocks precisely cut by copper tools, transported and built into massive pyramids in just under 30 years. So simple the mind boggles.
Too confusing. They probably just used aliens.
Or the aliens used them...
Jaycee or aliens slaves
haha
just because it is too confusing for you doesnt mean they used aliens.
+Pritesh Solanki (priteshz) aliens did that because with todays technology we cant build the pyramids. is so simple
Why do people try to discredit humanity. Instead of thinking it's truly incredible that they accomplished that, we say they definitely couldn't have so we make up something about aliens?
No it's not like that. it's that fact that it is actually impossible the pyramids could have been built using the methods that are mentioned in our history books. It is literally not possible. Whether it is the aliens, the story we are being told does not stack up. Was it aliens? I don't know. Or were our ancestors a lot smarter than we ever thought possible? Another possibility.
thats what scientifically illiterate people like to do just because they are incapable enough to understand the facts based on science. no wonder why gods and aliens are more easy to speak about than possible theories based on calculations.
Conspiracy theories are tantalizing for some people. It makes them feel as if they are a part of an exclusive club; like an interest in indie media as opposed to mainstream entertainment. Studies have shown this including one published in the European Journal of Social Psychology titled: 𝘛𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘥: 𝘕𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧𝘴. The paper suggests that people cling to conspiracy theories in order to feel special. "I'm woke, not like those sheep!"
Not aliens, but rather an idea that every pyramid built after giza is of lesser tech and craftsmanship, technology usually improves over time. Plus the fact that there are no inscriptions about why it was built. Every other structure built after this has a beautiful interior, lavishly decorated with art and context
Tesseractor I mean yeah, it's nice to think outside the box. There are always extreme people who take conspiracies way to seriously, but I like to believe that there is a certain degree of uniqueness attached to people who don't blindly adhere to information they are fed. They ask questions that oppose tradition and put themselves out there. People used to believe the universe revolved around earth but then some conspirist thought maybe we revolved around the sun. We have to open our minds to ANY possibility so that we can gather maximum information and perhaps someone's conspiracy is reality
There was a time when you loved your king too much you build him a piramid.
And now most of the kings,I.e the governments are corrupt 😔👊
Excellent, a lot of info delivered in a short vid, all a good start for further research.
If = one knows how to do correct research. Surfing clickbait videos which make a lot of poor assumptive claims is not researching - yet that is what many do. One must look to credible sources from actual subject-matter experts and consider the totality of what is noted about a thing.
I would like to see this channel go into more detail about the granite working capabilities of ancient Egypt. This video skimmed over the topic.
I understand that the more impressive looking features of ancient Egyptian construction to most people are the pyramids, but stacking sandstone blocks is really nothing compared to the ultra-precise granite work acheived, especial in old kingdom sites.
The perfection of hard stone working we see in places like the serapeum of sacarra are simply not explainable by smashing a hard hand stone into granite.
Please consider an episode specifically talking about this. There's no solid theory yet, but an explanation of the theories and physics behind this would be very interesting.
BOOOO!
@@olivenicholl1710 lol
@@sidd6371 I wasn't speaking on the stone used for the structure itself if you reread my comment. I think the much more interesting topic is the granite working capabilities of ancient Egypt, not their ability to stack limestone blocks. I could cut limestone blocks and build pulleys in my backyard, but we as a species currently dont have processing facilities that can make the precision carved granite boxes found in many pyramids and temple sites using only one piece.
@@Vlad_TheSlickening What do you mean we can't cut granite? It is an entire industry. Google granite water fountain, granite urn, granite tombstone, hell just modern granite statue,
I agree. Check out the Chanel History for Granite. They go into better detail. We still don't have the technology to replicate the granite precision.

Yoooooooooo lolol
It would be incredibly interesting to witness the culture and society of that time. Nuances that would be forever lost to time because not everything is recorded. I imagine ancient Egyptians must have been more similar to modern humans than we probably think.
The very fact that they could build them with such precision
Gotta love how the title tries to place this information as FACT when it's all just a theory.
Hannamim the title of the video implies that he knows how the pyramids were built, which he doesn’t
Gravity is just a theory
It's a hypothesis.
If it was a scientific theory then it would be at least possible to recreate today using the method in the theory.
By the way at the end he says that we shouldn't take his word for it but do some research ourselves.
So I agree he presents it a bit dishonestly but to say he is purposefully presenting it as fact instead of just unconsciously doing it wrong is quite a stretch.
I mean, sure it's just theory. But that's all we will ever have. Even if we theorized methods and tested them and proved those specific methods worked, all it does is confirm the theory, not the actual facts. Unfortunately the Egyptians forgot to video tape or write down their construction process, so all we have are theories that allow us to arrive to what's called accepted fact.
Based on this video's theories that actually put found evidence together, putting 2 and 2 together so to speak, I'd say it's reasonable for the accepted fact to be "They got creative with sand, rocks, and water, and used a lot of animals to help them." Now as to why they'd even bother, and why they'd bother to dedicate to building entire cities for the crafting folk, who's to say. Zealotry is a hell of a drug.
Clickbait
Fun fact! Not only were the workers of the pyramids not slaves, part of their payment was in beer. I'm wishing they'd repeat the practice today with grad students since it would allow us to cut out the middle man.

And if I recall correctly, it was also discussed briefly in the book The Brewer's Tale.
Mr Ice Fox
fucking idiot
As he said, they didn’t cut the stone blocks with copper saws! - they chipped them bit by bit with a harder stone. The Incas shaped stone blocks very precisely in the same way.
Except that there is evidence to support the Egyptians as using both bronze tools along with gneiss stone ones. Perhaps next time you should not assume and instead = see the evidence out there. There are tomb depictions of Egyptian craftsmen using weighted copper saws as well as tubular saws along with a bow drill. Further there are artifacts unearthed in Egypt which were created in part using tubular drills and in the drill holes was copper residue along with corundum - Mohs scale 9. Finally in museums are actual Egyptian copper saws.
So there is iconography as well as physical evidence to support copper tool use as well as stone tools for the Egyptians. What we see with the Inca are the quarries themselves and partially quarried stone - but no actual tools per se or depictions of tools being employed. Based upon what we see you can deduct the Inca used stone to shape stone - but not metal alloy tools such as the Egyptians had.
Wasn't the most informative hecking video I've ever seen on the subject!
nice video. so how did they build them?
Ben Dover
Egyptians weren't black
Ben Dover no one knows
Egyptians were Nubians which means that they were darkskinned. Also, the very first people on this planet were black. Sorry girl
Harry A
Nope, Egyptians were Egyptians, and nubians were nubians.
Egyptians thought of black people as inferior and enslaved them. Facts💪
Actually, nubians migrated to Egypt circa 10,000 BC and settled there and became the original inhabitants of Egypt..Also, Egyptians actually never had slaves. The Pharao was their leader and fatherfigure who would rule and protect them and his people were his willing servants. The whole slave-thing has been conjured up to use as a possible narrative as to how the pyramids were built. So-called "historians" (who actually lied about the pyramids being tombs, which is ridiculous!) and "scientists" never figured out who built the pyramids and why.So they resorted to inventing the storyline about the pharao's people as slaves and constructing the pyramids without rhyme or reason. There is so much i could tell you about the pyramids (i'm half Egyptian by the way) but suffice it to say that there is a lot more going on than what people want us to believe. The energy from the pyramids can be measured.No tombs, but sources of antigravity and freeflowing energy. People have been assasinated trying to get to the bottom of this. The oil-industry, the energy industry as a whole have a vast interest in us not finding out that progress is absolutely not linear! The same configuration of pyramids can be found in Mexico, China (the Chinese authorities never mention this!) and even submerged underwater. Did those "slaves" work in scuba-gear as well? ;-)
Mankind has made incredible achievements throughout history that serve as the foundations of modern society. Every culture and people have contributed to the advancement of mankind in the common belief that we can be more than we are. We are fragile beings unable to survive on our own in a very hostile world but we have thrived instead. Never underestimate the power of human perserverance to overcome any challenge. Look how far we have come.
Yeah. Now the Earth is shitty and species are being extinguished. We are kinda selfish.
Yeah, and you got white people believing that aliens helped built whole languages and monuments like the pyramids to non European cultures. History is clearly dictated and told by pretentious white folks lol
I keep waiting for the common-sense construction solution: Most likely ramps were fitted to the sides and pulleys were used to counterweight and lift the blocks up the steep angle - 52 degrees. The steeper the angle, the less sliding friction... anyone or anything going down could help bring a block up.
The hieroglyphic representations, old as they are, are stylized depictions of times much earlier and don't necessarily demonstrate methods used at any time, yet people tend to take them seriously.
There’s a hidden room next to the kings chamber and above the grand gallery inside the pyramid full of information and books and scriptures and records left by ‘Thoth’ who is the bringer of knowledge and wisdom to man kind (not a god) and we are yet to find And the same under the great sphinx, also Thoth in scriptures and things people have found he talks about having a flying object/ spaceship underneath the paw of the sphinx and found a massive object exactly underneath the paw (they found the hidden room and the massive object under neath the paw using cosmic scans)
The most important pyramid is the oldest one.
Not the newer one.
Now move a 200 ton monolith up out of the ground with a ramp and pully. Il wait.
This guy can lift 4 pounds.
And set it into place I'll wait more
@@Noisemansoundinsect you're right I seen corn stock with more physique than this guy someone keep him away from strong winds
@Nick Nack they had wheels, egyptians didnt
@Nick Nack Not only that, but even larger granite Obelisks were shipped to Rome, like the one in front of St. Peters Basilica, which I believe was shipped by Caligula. They had to build a special boat to bring it there, and another large granite Obelisk was brought to Rome by Constantius II. Then there's the Egyptian granite columns, which were being taken all over the Mediterranean. King Herod even got in on the act.
"Coffee is the best thing humans have ever made" Has to be the best thing he's ever said...!!
Here's my rebuttal of this (and all) videos I've seen on the Giza pyramid construction:
Based on construction timelines I've read, it requires that one block be set in place every single minute.
Very quick math, assuming some approximate ‘facts’ about construction:
1) 10 hour work days, 4 months per year, over a 30 year period.
2) 2,300,000 blocks.
Approx. total man-minutes: 600min/day x 120days x 30years =
2,160,000 total man-minutes to build.
2,160,000min / 2,300,000 blocks =
0.94min per block, so let's call it one block, fully in place, every single minute.
Seems utterly impossible, especially given the presumably single-file bottleneck up the ramps at the pyramid site (assuming ramps of some description were indeed used).
Even working 24/7 for 30 years requires one block in place every 7 minutes…a staggering feat in and of itself. But one block per minute? No way, says I.
hammering dolerite stones to cut granite at perfection ... sure totally doable
Indeed. I'll believe the mainstream theory only when I see an unedited time lapse video of Egyptologists themselves carving 5-ton blocks of granite to perfection, using only the exact tools they said they used, and turning out at least half the number of blocks per day that the Egyptians allegedly carved out in a day.
I’d like them to explain how the dolerite pounders were made and then watch the steam pour out of their ears. They just dismiss it as if shaping dolerite into a ball is an easy task given the hardness of that particular rock. Dummies. They don’t think before they talk.
@@joemorley6157 The dolerite pounder is not primarily a ball, it becomes a ball after extensive use, since the Egyptians tried to used the corners. I assure you, egyptologists are not as stupid as you think.
Oh really? So you’ve made some dolerite pounders before? Or you saw the Egyptologists make them? Do you have any video or pics of them doing this? How do you explain the scoop marks around the broken unfinished obelisk and in Peru and other places around the world? Was that shared knowledge or they all just happened to invent the same technologies and techniques? Because there’s no way they were crossing oceans thousands of years ago right? That’s what the Egyptologists say anyway.
@@joemorley6157 1) you would try to use the corner or "corner like" part of the pounder, until it gets leveled, you do this over and over. Maybe some of them were rounded by grinding in order to obtain a round sourface on purpose, I don't know
2) the "scoop" marks are the marks left by the pounders. Take a stone and start pounding the bedrock (over an extended area), is exactly the pattern you will get.
3) people find the same solutions to the same problems. Breaking a stone with another, harder stone, is intuitive.

Just imagine how impressive they would be had they managed to follow the original blueprints properly, with the pointy end down.
Here’s a list of ways to move heavy blocks.
Nevermind that structural analysis suggests that more than 99% of the “blocks” were poured in place (limestone concrete). 🤷🏻♂️
"Structural analysis" = Pffft!! You might as well have claimed aliens as you would have just as much supposed "evidence" to support that as your nonsensical concrete claim. Oh well. Simple things for simple minds I guess.
@@varyolla435 I have a MS in geochemistry if you need help understanding
@@varyolla435 do you have access to Google scholar? Here’s a link to an article on one of the papers by Davidowitz. www.geopolymer.org/news/cutting-edge-analysis-proves-davidovits’-pyramid-theory/
@@TheLimestoneCowboy lol! Another one with no understanding of the evidence here. So sad really. So tell me then perchance = did you not learn scientific methodology of analysis in the pursuit of your background???? I did. Perhaps you never heard of Occam's Razor - you should have. Follow the white Rabbit Neo:
1 - Davidovits has absolutely no background in Egyptology nor did he work with Egyptologists to formulate his hypothesis. He simply made it up = and pushed it out. In this he is ironically similar to another (French) flawed pseudoscience artist = Houdin. He too crafted a fanciful hypothesis about the Great Pyramid - again with no real evidence to support it nor working with subject-matter experts - to simply push it out there so as to make a buck off of it. We call such nonsense = "clickbait" while pseudoscience is an online and book-driven enterprise these days. Anyways let's move on shall we.
2 - so when Sneferu built his Bent Pyramid it failed and subsidence occurred. His engineers tried various things to try to shore it up. They jammed among different substances = gypsum mortar into the cracks to try to reinforce the structure. They of course failed.
3 - now the Egyptians widely employed their gypsum mortar in their civilization. It can be seen all over to include on the pyramids. The Great Pyramid has it slathered all over between rows of blocks and even to create filler where globs of mortar were jammed in large crevices along with small chunks of quarry rubble. The ceiling lintels of the King's Chamber cracked during installation and were repaired using the mortar.
4 - thus Davidovits took a sample of gypsum mortar from the failed Bent Pyramid repair = and *EXTRAPOLATED* that as supposedly representing the Egyptians crafting blocks from it..................nope. lol!
5 - finally please then explain if they were making blocks from it:
a - why the quarries show them removing chunks of bedrock in a systematic manner???? I mean after all if they simply wanted raw material to pulverize - considerable more work by the way - should we not then see amorphous holes in the ground where small chunks of limestone bedrock were removed?????
b - instead we see cleanly delineated walls in the quarries along with trenches with holes where wooden levers were employed to fracture out chunks of stone. You can even see the remains of the bases of "blocks" which were cut and then split off from the bedrock to be levered onto sleds and carted away.
c - limestone of course forms in layers like all sedimentary stones - I should not have to tell you. So a block made from a mixture would of course reflect consistency of texture and color and composition. Yet many blocks of the Great Pyramid show the strata layers of the bedrock they were cut from.
d - further many blocks show chisel tracts on them. Again blocks cast from molds should not reflect this. Also the blocks of the pyramids are a hodgepodge of assorted shapes and sizes. Should not blocks from a mold represent uniformity of consistency in size, shape, and coloring = which we *DO NOT* see with the pyramid blocks??
Moral of the story: one of course could go on = but why bother right. lol!! Enjoy your Google Scholar and the "outlier" trash that sometimes crops up on professional paper repositories. By that "logic" the nonsense the anti-vaccine moppets claim is then supposedly true despite the reality that the only reason much of it is even found in these places is "pay to play" publishing. They get some journal to public their trash = to then point to it claiming it "peer-reviewed" followed by their monetizing off of it. When you *ONLY* see what you want to see at the expense of the totality of evidence relating to a thing = facile and ultimately incorrect assumption tends to follow. You get what you pay for.
How did they core perfect holes in granite?
Copper/bronze drills and sand.
@jmaedl027 jmaedl How do you know?
@jmaedl027 jmaedl There are drill holes and granite cores dating from the Old Kingdom. And experimental archaeology has proven that you can drill granite with Egyptian bronze age tools.
@jmaedl027 jmaedl You can get a drilling rate in granite of 5 cubic cm/hour (Denys Stocks, Experiments in Egyptian Archaeology, page 115), which is fine. The experiments were done long enough until the core was snapped out.
@jmaedl027 jmaedl What does this have to do with granite drilling? There are many possible explanations in the last 3000 years.
I am now inspired to make my own Pyramid.
Hahaha 😂😂
@@riennebinks7894 yes i can do it with a few towns
Uhmm, okay.
Make sure you have the exact same amounts of dolomite and granite, and limestone casings, alongside an extensive subterranean labyrinth fed by natural water currents, tied to granite boxes carved of the same piece of granite with the same exact geometry. good luck..
@@JemmC89 That was hard tho lol
It's amazing that they know how a pyramids was built. So, build one!
Too expense at the economics of today. Also = what would it prove??? Perhaps it is time to "think more broadly" here to recognize that as interesting as the pyramids are it was their creation which was actually of greater historical value. In order to build a large pyramid the Egyptians had to create a massive infrastructure network to supply the men and raw materials to accomplish the task.
So think railroads. A locomotive is certainly an interesting device. Yet the creation of railroads resulted in new communications lines being developed + the ability to move people and goods about more freely + and the creation of subsidiary towns and industries built around the creation of the railroads. That is of far more historical as well as sociological/economic value than a simple train and some tracks. Look beyond the actual structures to consider the totality of what went into creating them. By Egypt undergoing its "pyramid age" that resulted in a more unified and prosperous country - at least for a time. Something new to think about.
Its great to watch this videos!
At 1:00 you said that the sides were square within 11 cm. Well, I was under the impression that the sides were concave, giving the pyramid 8 sides technically. Meaning the sides aren’t supposed to be exactly 90 degrees, and making it EVEN MORE precise than you expressed here.
He doesn't know wtf he's talking about.
Pyramids and the Great Wall of China are the most brilliant structures ever made, will you do a video of the great wall?
Acer Carter have u read how they made Great Wall Of China? pretty dark for me
Check out Machu Picchu - this is something, what is far beyond any explanations...
Which one? It's not one single structure and there are a number of walls between the Chinese people and their neighbors. And it's also not the only great wall ever build to seperate nations. Of course, non of those walls really worked, so it might be a good lesson in stupidity to talk about the Great Wall of China.

“They had bakeries and breweries. They weren’t slaves.” .....
It's like saying that Qatar world cup stadiums weren't built by slaves if information didn't leak.
Having jewelry or gold would be a much better indicator of weather the builders were slaves or not.
No such findings, so we all know the truth.
They certainly did have slaves, and many of their bones are found crushed beneath pyramid stones. One small area where people lived who were probably work bosses and were treated well does nothing to disprove the writings of all the nations around them which said they slaves were used for the construction projects.

The problem can actually be reduced to a simple, scientifically viable, test. First, take a representative 50 ton block, the heaviest in the pyramid and have a group of laborers lift it off the ground. Prove that a group of men, using human strength alone, could life such a granite block off the ground. If a positive outcome is achieved then proceed to the ramp problem and prove that the team could drag a sled carrying the block up the required incline.
So what you are suggesting is that the Egyptians did not build them?
I mean if you're nuts, then just come out and say so.
Its already been proven, considering the pyramids, you know, exist and were built.
You have good thoughts
A guy on you tube did it with two small rocks. I can find the link if you like.
I think in times so back, slaves and strong hierarchies in societies could have been a common occurrence.
Today it may be tough to build and very expensive, but if you were a king and could exploit certain people perhaps it would be much more easier.
The engineering and logistics is an absolute, mystery.
How such societies died down with time, is also very scary.
The theory of concrete made on site sounds more plausible than saying that millions of tones of blocks had to be pulled, carried on site and placed at tens of meters high.
Pity then that the actual evidence on the ground does not support your theory, It rather shows conclusively that they were hewing "blocks" from the bedrock nearby while those blocks themselves reflect the bedrock from which they were obtained as well as things like chisel marks on them.
The rather silly if I may say claim about their using "concrete" had people actually thought about it and applied even a modicum of commonsense would be inordinately more labor intensive as well as resource consuming. Time was always a factor in constructing a tomb which needed to be completed in the lifetime of the Pharaoh. Thus they cut corners everywhere they could to save time. So it does not matter how "plausible" a claim is. All that really matters is what does the actual evidence on the ground support = and it supports their quarrying blocks from the bedrock.
We do not know how the pyramids were built. We don't know how anything back then really came about. We have theories and debates over it but we will never truly know cause none of us were there to witness it and no one actually recorded it in detail and if they did, we haven't found much. The Egyptians were extremely smart and had the knowledge to figure things out that today our society would have struggled to do. Egyptology is more than art and storytelling, it is also full of secrets as to how people one lived and how their inventions and discoveries, impact us today.

Right about the use of ramps but they weren't on the outside, they were on the inside. The corners were left open on each level to position a crane to lift the next layer up .

Mats K everyone knows your the turd on the sidewalk everyone steps on
Hydro-pneumatic. Water created vacuum to operate stone pistons with ropes. 2 exterior cranes and a lift in the grand gallery, with a counterweight above it. Sarcophagus was a sliding valve, not a sarcophagus. Sorry to all of the powerplant theorists, you're wrong. Other pyramids worked on similar principles but did different things. Giza was probably a stone processing complex, to send stones off to build other pyramids.

Any body has the answers why the stone was so big
Oh I’m glad someone can show me exactly how they were built cause I was wondering. I figured some other life built them since there was no art of them building it. Glad you know
They brought the stones on site. They started to stack at the third or forth row by building a small ramp. Then they created the ramp they needed to bring all the stones all the way to the top. Once they finished the top, they reused the stones from the ramp and used them to make the first and second and third bottom row. If you make the calculation, that should make up about enough stones to both make a ramp and complete the Pyramid bottom rows. It's an easy engineering mathematical equation.
Could they have used pulleys? Or were they invented later...
they did, but not for the weight of those blocks, they used water elevators
Zero point gravity
Pupsi, check out this video. I have no idea if this would work, but it is an interesting theory.
ruclips.net/video/TJcp13hAO3U/видео.html
The problem I have with the demonstration is that they are using very small stone. I am not sure this would work with large 2 ton stone. On the other hand, the Nile was a very important resource and all Egyptians would have been intimately familiar with the properties of water because of all the ways they used it in their everyday lives. This makes me believe that we, not being as intimately aware, have overlooked some possibilities. Enjoy the exploration and discovery.
Cranes and water elevators. Cranes made from wood, ropes, and water assistance
The true mystery of the pyramids is not how they were constructed, but how the simple technique was kept secret for millennia. Do you want answers?!?

I propose these are giant bricks and some rocks on exterior finish for durability.
Wait so you can cut a precision angle out of limestone and granite with a copper tool a sand slurry? I’ve heard this said before. Is there a single example in history of this being done? I bet you can eventually get through the harder stone with this method but you would have broken so many copper saws and it would take so long, then add in the fact that the end result is a smooth perfect slab, I have a very hard time believing any of this is replicable with out machines.
The stones don’t have to be cut perfectly. They could be worked before being placed in their final positions.
Watch the video. He states that copper tools were NOT used to cut the granite.
I've watched many documentaries about the erection of the:
Pyramids.
It's a known fact water tracings are found in the vicinity of the Pyramids build on earth.

But the pyramid is not just a pile of blocks and it does not stand alone. It is one of three pyramids that align with the constellation Orion's Belt. The The Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid contains a sarcophagus that is too big to have been moved through the pyramid's passages. The pyramid would have had to been built around it. And there are also dead straight shafts from the Queen's Chamber pointing towards Sirius. This video explains nothing!
Ian Cooper and why would that be impossible for humans to do?
It wouldn't be impossible for humans to build the pyramid, particularly those as advanced as the ancient Egyptians, and I never suggested that it was. I simply stated that the video doesn't come close to explaining how it was done.
chistine lane Cos it was supposedly a time when the wheel wasn't even invented yet!
Ian Cooper they were so religious though I imagine they probably did that on purpose. And this video appears to just be on the general shape and the movement of the stone, not the fine details like the tunnels and all that. It would be so interesting to learn about all that though :0c :)
Have you ever read about any kind of astronomy, not astrology? If you had you would know that the star allotment in ancient Egypt is completely different to present much like the video stated the North star isn't even in the same location now as it was then. So for people to say "well how do you explain the allotment to true North?" It isn't aligned to to North it is allignet to something the ancient Egyptians found significant, it just so happens to align with something WE find I interesting in present time
