How is it possible that the entire cave network has not been completely mapped out at this point? The Giza plateau must be the most studied archaeological site in history and yet there's an entire underworld that no one has thought might hold some secrets? Baffling
My best hypothesis after thinking about all of the evidence, and I know this sounds crazy, is that they HAVE been explored and there HAS been discovered evidence of lost ancient high technology. The evidence for such is still IN the stone. In my opinion Zahi Hawass is/was employed as the chief disinformation agent, in charge of stagnating the research. Free energy is at stake. There’s still no good explanation for how they shaped and moved such massive megaliths. The recent metrology of ancient, precise granite vases PROVES that such high technology existed.
There have been numerous stories in the past about explorations/discoveries, some fantastic. Latest stories are Egyption military has extensivly mapped the tunnels.
I’ve thought about this very conundrum for years, and the only conclusion I’ve come to is, it relates to the Egyptian economy. There’s direct correlations between large archeological discoveries and bumps in Egyptian tourism. On a meager year, 7-8% of Egyptians GDP is tourism. But after a major discovery, like finding a new space in the great Pyramid, tourism made up almost 16% of Egypts GDP. I think a good comparison would be Saudi Arabia and their oil. Why don’t they just drill as much as possible, make as much money as possible? Once that oil is gone, it’s gone for good. Also, they want that sweet spot between supply and demand, to make the most possible money. I believe Egypt and their sanctioned archeological digs have a similar mentality. If they discover “everything” over the next 10 years, sure things would be prosperous during that time, but then what?
I like your thinking. I believe that what has been found in Egypt (and in other places) upsets the current understanding of the history of the Earth, its cataclysms, its civilizations and even things as fundamental as our understanding of field theory and physics. It’s paradigm changing.
Just imagine being back in the heyday of Egypt sitting back in your backyard having a beer and looking at the stars or even better taking a walk down the main boardwalk of any of these beautiful cosways .

Many years ago, the 1960's, when there was a metaphysical bookstore on every other corner and the power of the pyramids was all the rage in the flower power community (which I was a part of, lol.) We knew the Nile passed in front of the pyramids and many parts were hauled in that way as you have said in other vids. We knew there was a labyrinth of caves. Now here's how that all added up to us (the fun part). The Nile would flood the caves and the water under the pyramids is what actually gave them their mystical powers. The pyramids gathered the power with their perfect geometry and the water would focus the power up through the golden capstone. From there it radiated out and did varying things depending on who you talked to, so Lord knows what. Many people believed all this. I was one to just take things at face value and say okay fine. When all the metaphysical bookstores finally closed up we kind stopped thinking about. Now here I am, 70 years old and someone is finally talking sense about all those same things again without all the "woo woo." Thanks!

Didn’t Pliny the Elder write about his travels to Egypt and talked about the underground construction including the Labyrinth. I read that there is supposed to a pure white pyramid as tall as the great pyramid. And upon seeing thousands of rooms filled with marvelous things he talked of artificial light. I understand that the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities is hiding secrets regarding the history of Egyptology and what’s actually being hidden in areas mostly controlled by the Military. I’m particularly interested in the site called Zawlet El Aryan. I believe this to be one of the most important architectural elements of the whole Giza Plateau Machine. This now absolutely forbidden area to access and they turned the place into trash dump after burying every bit of evidence about what the structure was for. I don’t know why anybody would do this but we have to accept that history is written by whomever and it can be changed, altered and secreted away because if the truth were told Egypt would probably lose their Tourist industry. Egyptology is a made up science that needs to maintain the myths kept by the Egyptian Government about who built the Pyramids and why.

Those water channels cut inside the NC-2 roughly worked natural cave area are worth a much closer look, as they look deliberately cut. Would be interesting to know if the ancient Egyptians perhaps used the cave as some sort of natural drain.
Given the geology and climate/paleo climate conditions, the cave systems could be quite extensive: More discoveries ahead. The footage was amazing, thanks for your presentation.

I wonder if there is a giant snake up in that tunnel system?! I remember the explorers mentioning hearing something big sliding on the dirt when they were crawling deep into the system.
@@360ODYSY wow, thank you for enlightening me on that. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏾 crazy, i really hope its down in there somewhere, still keeping guard on the truth! 😃
considering airflow may be very poor, oxygen may rarify with dangerous levels of ammonia, I'd rather have at least one oxygen tank, and considering structural instability, I'd rather have a friend with me, and a friend outside who knows we went in still, not a lot of gear necessary, just minimal preps
Thanks Matt! Never heard of these 3 complexes before. Since the cave system existed before the pyramid of Khafre, isn't it reasonable to think the pyramid was built over the cave entrance? In other words, the cave complex ended at the naturally enclosed cavern. It was only exposed by excavators centuries later and is now called an 'entrance'. The cavern would have been a shrine or holy place devoted to Osiris. So researchers should be searching the large cavern!
I understand about the smell. I've been Carlsbad caverns. And with my daughters 5 grade to any area where Mexican brown bats holdup in water culverts during the Summer. We waited until they flew out for the night. Needless to say the smell was unmistakable. I would say you should wear a breather
awesome update on the Collins tunnel, thank you! I wish someone would show up with more gear (oxygen, helmet, etc) and a GPS locator so we can see on the surface where these tunnels lead.
Those radar images were taken back when the space shuttle was lauching satilites. The imagery is from 50° N. To 50° S with I think 10 meter resolution, could be wrong though. The images are availible on NASA's Earth Imaging Site. I sure the are higher resolutions that belong to mill/intel.
Also GPS requires clear line of site to acquire satelites. However lidar equiped devices do very nice 3-D mapping. Some Apple phones have that capability. Can be loaded into computer.
I think it is fair to say that the cave systems even though naturally formed are affiliated with the human architecture as they are the channels of the underworld amd the vens that carry lifes water from the depths. The Aztecs and Mayans before them displayed a similar reverence and consequent architectural response. I see many humans share their fascination to caves, periodic water flows and myths of underworld journeys and creatures and metaphors of human fluid mystery.
real question about the places that are sealed shut with a steel bar door, why hasn't anyone taken an RC car or drone and put it through the openings of the door and explored?
Since prehistoric times caves have given humans shelter, and were sources of awe. Both protection and danger, caves evoked strong feelings. The obvious similarity to birth canal adds another layer of awe. How widely the Giza cave system was known and used in antiquity is unclear, but if known, that sense of wonder and fear make it ripe for civilized humans to bury their dead there as in fact took place in dynastic Egypt.
Hi Matt😍hope you are well. Enjoy this type of video on Egypt. There is mystery, a trip with Giovanni Cavilglia (sp?)Pictures! And, Henry Salt and much more. Thank you for another mystery history at Giza Matt. ❤✌
Seeing as the cave was worked in someway, it's possible it was abandoned after a natural phenomenon, like an earthquake, that damaged the room or made it unsuitable and so the room was sealed with the bricks. Or whatever purpose a room connected to natural fissures had went out of fashion and the fissures lost their significance.
@@efdangotu Good point, imagine all the possible undiscovered underground networks/cities like that one in Turkey. I'd imagine with no accessible entrances any longer.. Just under the ground somewhere.
@efdangotu The prehistoric paintings on the walls of the cave in Lascaux were preserved because the entrance collapsed close to the time it was being used. It was only tens of thousands of years later that some boys accidentally discovered another, vertical entrance to the caves and the preserved paintings.
Can you plz do an in depth study video about the 3 granit blocks above the entrance to the kings chamber 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 when we went on a tour with Yosef! He specifically stoped us between the blocks to listen to the sound, when u hum barely it created a huge sound 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
After all this... nobody noticed the perfect carving of Mike Tyson done by aliens on the whole left part of the screen at 12:06 ? Science people! You have to pay attention! Matt, thank you for the video. I sent the link to Mike Tyson to show him that he is special and should do good.
Looks like a natural cave with a rough cut step entrance. It’s confirmation of the amazing world we live in… can’t help but wonder how much more is fissured under the plateau (that could have maybe even been connected once upon a time?) There is so much we know yet don’t know too.
I remember when there were underground areas near the sphinx and Egyptian government buried it with sand.. I'm sure it was on this channel years and years ago.. or channel similar
@@LadyBits2023 They are animals who find a natural habitat that suits them. It may not suit you. But you are not the center of the universe. Luckily...
Wow ! I've never heard of these. Itis interesting that a tomb was made to cover an entrance. ( if I understand it correctly.) Matt , I wish you as a geologist , would look at the colossal statues that lay in parts but were huge single blocks before being carved. Carving them is a mystery in its self , but their size is dumbfounding... how on earth could they be moved ? It would be at least an almost impossible undertaking today. It is easy to look at drawings and say they just pulled sledges.... but if you look at how hard it is to move huge stones today.,... it is almost impossible and had to be impossible then ! But the remains of these huge statues are there in Egypt for anyone to see. . !
“Ready to work.” “What is it?” “Job’s done.” (Sorry, I can’t help but think of that every time I watch your videos 😅) *In all seriousness, this is amazing content though, thank you!
I want to climb into that hole at the end in the Bird Tomb so bad it actually hurts. I am not a spelunker but I have crawled around in so many mines and caves in California that seeing that dark hole disappear into the Giza Plateau made me just want to cry. And yes I’m stupid enough to do it to and I’m really old now but I’d still do it and what do I have to lose? The “natural” cave as you enter the tomb did not show hardly any Bat Guano that I could see but its dark, dirty and unmaintained so a farmer might be collecting the guano for fertilizer. But I don’t think so. And it looks very dry so the water table hasn’t risen much or at all for a thousand or three years. I’ve climbed into what the old timers out in the Mojave desert used to call the Immigrant Mines. These mine shafts were high on a mountain in the El Paso Mountain Range. They were horizontally dug into the rocky soil originally very round because they couldn’t afford the wood required for supports. They were large tunnels as they removed a lot of burden which they sluiced for Gold. The first thing is dress appropriately. Today I wouldn’t go back in without a Tyvek suit with gloves and boots all taped up and a respirator and hard hat. But I was young and stupid so blue jeans, tennis shoes and my stupid skull as protection. Flashlight in hand and I did have a friend down at the bottom of the gorge where he sat in the shade and drank beer. But I was so far up that mountain he wouldn’t even know which one I went in. I am six foot six inches tall, thin and was able to walk upright into the mines but soon realized that the floor of the mine was rising and falling more and more the deeper I went. It got to the point that there was only about two to three feet of clearance after going in for a conservative estimate of 500 yards or 1500 feet. The reason I started to rethink my endeavor, and I must say that after working in the Wastewater industry for 30 years and having smelt things that would make a maggot puke, the smell was getting pretty overwhelming as I was crawling on top of 120 to 130 year old (and forty + years ago now) piles of Bat Guano. Must have been a zillion tons in that deepest cave I went in. Finally the mine shaft got so narrow that I was grinding through the guano with now only about a foot of clearance. I was expecting a chamber where they would have found what they were looking for but I guess I didn’t get far enough in. But I finally came to the conclusion that if there were any artifacts in that mine and I’m sure there were, that they were buried under five to six feet of Bat S&*t. So after being Bat S&*t crazy stupid I managed to crawl back out of one of the grossest places of my life. I’m just glad I didn’t die from some dumb novel virus and restart a Pandemic. You never know you know. Thank you for listening.
Have we heard much more about that bit of causeway someone found under their house? I recall that tunnel being significant in length but can't find much of it aside from the news stories and a few pictures of tunnel that may or may not be the one we're talking about.
The tomb of the birds is located exactly 90° west of the GP at about 864 meter (2835 ft) of the GP's center. It's 123° from Khafre's pyramid at a distance of 646 meter (2120 ft). Probably means nothing.
Just a random idea, but i wonder if the cave system originally opened up into one of these tombs, and the were later modified and turned into temples. Either way, I could imagine a scenario where this cave system, if accessible, could have been associated with an "underworld" or "land of the dead" by ancient Egyptians, and considering how far into cave systems we have found paleolithic art, it is not inconceivable that the ancient Egyptians knew the path of this cave as it travelled below the Giza plateau. This also makes me wonder if they were perhaps tryin to connect with this cave system when they dug the descending passage in the great pyramid... not a far cry given that it is over 300 feet long.. quite the undertaking... this is all speculation mind you, but it seems at least plausible.
Given the cliff setting, when go back c 8,000+ years and Egypt and Sudan were wet savannah climates, the water would probably appeared as a spring at the base of the cliff.
Reminds me of the older mine tunnels in the town in Southern Arizona where I grew up. Some of the shorter tunnels had: Flies, Bats and Javelinas, the last 2 would leave quickly as you went in. Near the center of the mine complex the tunnels were more connected with vertical shafts for dumping ore to a collection level. There were places where aqua colored flowstone covered large areas of floor and sinkholes leading down to collapsed rubble.
Your the first channel th@t i paid to join i only subscribe i seen your video live finding the block at the tunnel that was amazing i was holding my breath 😊😊
Looks like the chamber behind the wall had its wall collapse and revealing the natural cave behind it. After the collapse the broken chamber was sealed off.
When I went to temple of Hatshepsut my tour guide said their are caves on the side of the temple that big business scientology people pay big money to go and see the particular paintings and hieroglyphics, never saw or heard anything about it on the internet though
Nice that Collings managed to name a cave to his liking..would be nice to discover a neatly dressed room with granite walls and the advanced tools we are missing in the archeological archive .
The problem is that Hawass is not to be trusted. He has an extremely strong vested interest in maintaining the historical status quo as it would directly impact his paycheck for someone else to come along and show us something dramatically new. There is also some potential evidence that he is involved in ensuring new discoveries have had their artifacts sold on the black market before what is left gets released to the public. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Hancock fan either, but the combination of ancient reports about the labyrinth and questionable things we continue to find to the modern day do still point to a very early civilisation living in a huge cave network in the Giza area before it was built on top of and the aquifer flooded everything.
History for Granite (who collaborates with Ancient Architects on occasion) has criticized Hawass on more than a few occasions. But they’re reasonable criticisms rather than the conspiracy theories propagated by so many others.
I don't understand how it'd be against Hawass's interest for things to be discovered in Egypt. Seems far more the opposite, because then he'd be the arbiter of how it's displayed and found and such. Seems more to me he's residing over maintaining what is and the money that's filtered through bribes for that access. I don't know. Discovery just moves way too slow in the most obvious areas where historical things could be found, or it's not even bothered with at all (such as the Osirion or the Great Pyramid's voids).
Hawas had been caught dealing in antiquties long before he was "placed" in his current position.....very odd. Somebody important/wealthy put him in charge. He covers up any new discoveries/leads, while maintaining quiet digs. Then later takes credit for someone else's discoveries....only to find nothing. Kind of leaves you wondering doesn't it?
Lovely Matt: Is it G. Hancock who writes about the 'Duat' Mythology/Hypothesis ie. 'As Above, so Below?' where we imagine the Egyptians 'Questing Out' the Giza Plateau, due to it's proximity to the Nile (with its Duat similarity to the Milky Way?)... - I've a feeling you've said you don't Subscribe to this notion - but it's interesting to imagine this natural cave system *also* forming part of this Quest, again with its Duat similarity to the River (Styx?) of mythology... Fascinating stuff mate, and thanks as ever for putting this together... Bobby 🙏🏻 Ps. Did Andrew Collins do 300+ metres on his own? Either way, those ANcient Aliens boys really are L👀ns aren't they?... 🤪😂🤣
It's not a coincidence that there are voids under the pyramids, obviously they were sacred places the Pharaohs want to themselves. Maybe water wells symbolic of life.
Very odd texture on the surface of the limestone within the caves. My guess is it's efflorescence mineralization and not precipitated. Cave sediments are often scientifically useful for many reasons. They should be studied by geologists with an archeologist tagging along rather than the other way around.
I don’t want to state the obvious but i don’t think having permission to be in there is gunna change anything if there’s an earthquake.i think the outcome is very likely to be the same but interesting video.thanks my man.
@@alexsetterington3142 I’m saying that having permission to go in won’t change anything.you can still have people knowing where you are without permission.
One question is: where are the bats getting out? Are they sen blowing out through the main entrance shown, or somewhere else. It would be fairly easy to spot with a number of observers at nightfall.
Perhaps you could collaborate with the @ActionAdventureTwins and visit Giza and the Tomb of the Birds. It would be an epic adventure. 👍Stay Awesome! Best…
Could be that those tunnels where way more accessable tousands of years ago and become history/tales/religion to the later generations. So they started to build them by them self, to achieve something similar. Big Caverns with underground rivers, or those one full of mega crystals found in southamerica. We are still today fascinated by all those buildings and stories that could be more... why not the same 3000-4000 years ago.
I remember reading when I was younger that the halls of amenti under the plateau were regarded a greater wonder than the pyramids above by some ancient people.
You all may laugh when I tell you that I made a significant archeological discovery in June of 2020 that has not been made public yet, but will occur very soon. Keep a lookout for a newly discovered Native American art found in Orange County, Virginia. It's a far bigger deal than it may sound.
We'll never know. Hawass isn't going to spend time there. The initial csve has had plenty of collapses, and exhibits tool marks on its walls, who is to say the collapses don't cover entrances and artifacts.
It almost reminds me of the cave system beneath the Pyramid of The Sun at Teotihuacan...almost. Caves are holy to people throughout time and all over the world, so no surprise, honestly. Thanks for posting!
I doubt these were used by humans at some point. They look really unpleasant to explore and I would expect to see more work to adapt the cave (stairs, clearing passage) if this was the case. However, there is the possibility that people from the past also explored this for fun and might have left really random artefacts. Old cave can also be goldmines for paleontolgy as bones from extinct animals can sometimes be found there. If we want to speculate, we can also suppose that the cave system might be connected accidentally to other tombs, but chances are slim.
Except. Some of those tunnels like a little too perfect. They could have tunnel through parts and because it's been so long it doesn't look like it now, with all the rain, water and other things coming through.
I've enjoyed your channel til now even if it has pushed certain views which I disagree with. But I would love to know why Giza Labyrinth pops up in text at the beginning of this video and then you proceed to show and talk about natural cave systems. I really encourage people to do a quick search on the enigma that the Labyrinth actually is written by ancient historians who actually saw it. There was nothing natural about it and it's grandeur rivaled even that of the great pyramids.
Would the cave entrances have been under water when the Nile ran closer to where the pyramids were built? That might limit how old the caves are. I'm surprised that the entrances and easily accessible portions of the cave system have not been excavated properly. Like other religions, the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians would have slowly developed over time from primitive beginnings. The natural cave system may have influenced the first stories of Afterlife and the Underworld, and the tunnels became shrines to this mythology. 'Priests' or 'shamans' may have ventured further in to conduct rituals or leave paintings on the cave walls, like those of France and Spain. Any serious caver would follow the tunnels as far as they lead. There could be evidence of humans from a time much older than the pyramids. I don't understand how Hawas can ignore these possibilities, leaving the caves to fill with trash and rubble.
It's strange to think that some of my ancient ancestors would have seen this place in its heyday, be they as Persian invaders and or natives of the land.
The tunnels look like they are natural once past the initial interior that looks to be worked. Also Looks like a person need a hazmat suit when entering the area.

In classic academic style, Hawass refuted Collins' discovery at first. Then claimed it as his own.
I would refer to Hawass as an Asshole opportunist and thief before even considering the word "academic ".
That having been said, you aren't wrong.

I wonder if there is a giant snake up in that tunnel system?! I remember the explorers mentioning hearing something big sliding on the dirt when they were crawling deep into the system.
You have the entrance that is the tomb but the cave itself is known as kahf el ghanash meaning cave of the snake
@@360ODYSY wow, thank you for enlightening me on that. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏾 crazy, i really hope its down in there somewhere, still keeping guard on the truth! 😃
gear needed for exploration, two feet and a heartbeat ✌️💚
😂
Mtn Bike Helmet & some gloves .. plus many batteries.
considering airflow may be very poor, oxygen may rarify with dangerous levels of ammonia, I'd rather have at least one oxygen tank, and considering structural instability, I'd rather have a friend with me, and a friend outside who knows we went in
still, not a lot of gear necessary, just minimal preps
Considering the cave complex is inhabited with bats, the guano must be inches thick on the floor...so I'll have a new pair of Wellies on my two feet.
Add camera drones and bat repellent to the growing list
Yet again you manage to make a fascinating video on a topic previously unknown to me! Terrific stuff!
Thanks Matt! Never heard of these 3 complexes before. Since the cave system existed before the pyramid of Khafre, isn't it reasonable to think the pyramid was built over the cave entrance? In other words, the cave complex ended at the naturally enclosed cavern. It was only exposed by excavators centuries later and is now called an 'entrance'. The cavern would have been a shrine or holy place devoted to Osiris. So researchers should be searching the large cavern!
This looks a lot like the tomb of king Rootentooten.
I understand about the smell. I've been
Carlsbad caverns. And with my daughters
5 grade to any area where Mexican brown bats holdup in water culverts during the
Summer. We waited until they flew out for the night. Needless to say the smell was
unmistakable. I would say you should wear a breather
Bat droppings contain potassium-phosphate-ammonia-calcium compounds (a form of guano).
Highly toxic in a Confined space and fill of bat virus’
awesome update on the Collins tunnel, thank you! I wish someone would show up with more gear (oxygen, helmet, etc) and a GPS locator so we can see on the surface where these tunnels lead.
Those radar images were taken back when the space shuttle was lauching satilites. The imagery is from 50° N. To 50° S with I think 10 meter resolution, could be wrong though. The images are availible on NASA's Earth Imaging Site.
I sure the are higher resolutions that belong to mill/intel.
Also GPS requires clear line of site to acquire satelites.
However lidar equiped devices do very nice 3-D mapping. Some Apple phones have that capability. Can be loaded into computer.
I think it is fair to say that the cave systems even though naturally formed are affiliated with the human architecture as they are the channels of the underworld amd the vens that carry lifes water from the depths. The Aztecs and Mayans before them displayed a similar reverence and consequent architectural response. I see many humans share their fascination to caves, periodic water flows and myths of underworld journeys and creatures and metaphors of human fluid mystery.
real question about the places that are sealed shut with a steel bar door, why hasn't anyone taken an RC car or drone and put it through the openings of the door and explored?
So are you and History for Granite coordinating drops or something?
Ha. No, but it’s worked out pretty well 😂
Since prehistoric times caves have given humans shelter, and were sources of awe. Both protection and danger, caves evoked strong feelings. The obvious similarity to birth canal adds another layer of awe. How widely the Giza cave system was known and used in antiquity is unclear, but if known, that sense of wonder and fear make it ripe for civilized humans to bury their dead there as in fact took place in dynastic Egypt.
Hi Matt😍hope you are well.
Enjoy this type of video on Egypt. There is mystery, a trip with Giovanni Cavilglia (sp?)Pictures! And, Henry Salt and much more. Thank you for another mystery history at Giza Matt.
❤✌
Seeing as the cave was worked in someway, it's possible it was abandoned after a natural phenomenon, like an earthquake, that damaged the room or made it unsuitable and so the room was sealed with the bricks. Or whatever purpose a room connected to natural fissures had went out of fashion and the fissures lost their significance.
The entire planet is riddled with ancient tunnels. 💯
How many must have collapsed over time! Sealed forever, or randomly discovered.
@@efdangotu Good point, imagine all the possible undiscovered underground networks/cities like that one in Turkey.
I'd imagine with no accessible entrances any longer.. Just under the ground somewhere.
Several in Turkey more than one
@efdangotu The prehistoric paintings on the walls of the cave in Lascaux were preserved because the entrance collapsed close to the time it was being used.
It was only tens of thousands of years later that some boys accidentally discovered another, vertical entrance to the caves and the preserved paintings.
The ridges look like the lower chamber. They way they have excavated the floor and it is raised also.
The phrase 'Khufu's restaurant' conjures up strange ideas that are probably very far from reality, but might make for a fun comedy piece.
Can you plz do an in depth study video about the 3 granit blocks above the entrance to the kings chamber 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 when we went on a tour with Yosef! He specifically stoped us between the blocks to listen to the sound, when u hum barely it created a huge sound 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
After all this... nobody noticed the perfect carving of Mike Tyson done by aliens on the whole left part of the screen at 12:06 ?
Science people! You have to pay attention!
Matt, thank you for the video. I sent the link to Mike Tyson to show him that he is special and should do good.
Looks like a natural cave with a rough cut step entrance. It’s confirmation of the amazing world we live in… can’t help but wonder how much more is fissured under the plateau (that could have maybe even been connected once upon a time?) There is so much we know yet don’t know too.
21:00 A kind of rough but formed shape/s reminiscent of the subterranean chamber of the Great Pyramid.
Good catch. It looks almost identical...
Check out the awesome footage. So great to shoot your own! Just what we need are your eyeballs there in petson directing the camera. Superb. Thanks!
I remember when there were underground areas near the sphinx and Egyptian government buried it with sand.. I'm sure it was on this channel years and years ago.. or channel similar
Bats don't "infest" caves, bats inhabit them.
Maybe bat experts made some kind of research down there? That would be intersting
@@LadyBits2023 They are animals who find a natural habitat that suits them. It may not suit you. But you are not the center of the universe. Luckily...
Wow ! I've never heard of these. Itis interesting that a tomb was made to cover an entrance. ( if I understand it correctly.)
Matt , I wish you as a geologist , would look at the colossal statues that lay in parts but were huge single blocks before being carved. Carving them is a mystery in its self , but their size is dumbfounding... how on earth could they be moved ? It would be at least an almost impossible undertaking today. It is easy to look at drawings and say they just pulled sledges.... but if you look at how hard it is to move huge stones today.,... it is almost impossible and had to be impossible then ! But the remains of these huge statues are there in Egypt for anyone to see. . !
Another great explore. Thanks for bringing this to us Matt!
If it's looking natural, it's probably is.
Yeah, def natural
Salt and Caviglia entering those hyaena infested caves with nothing but candlelight...amazing courage!
Mining shafts, dry-stack tailing pyramid, and surrounding treatment pond.
20:56 wow ! remember me to the subterranean chamber structures of Khufu pyramid
“Ready to work.”
“What is it?”
“Job’s done.”
(Sorry, I can’t help but think of that every time I watch your videos 😅)
*In all seriousness, this is amazing content though, thank you!
How probable is it that the cave had water running through it when the monuments were built?
I want to climb into that hole at the end in the Bird Tomb so bad it actually hurts. I am not a spelunker but I have crawled around in so many mines and caves in California that seeing that dark hole disappear into the Giza Plateau made me just want to cry. And yes I’m stupid enough to do it to and I’m really old now but I’d still do it and what do I have to lose? The “natural” cave as you enter the tomb did not show hardly any Bat Guano that I could see but its dark, dirty and unmaintained so a farmer might be collecting the guano for fertilizer. But I don’t think so. And it looks very dry so the water table hasn’t risen much or at all for a thousand or three years. I’ve climbed into what the old timers out in the Mojave desert used to call the Immigrant Mines. These mine shafts were high on a mountain in the El Paso Mountain Range. They were horizontally dug into the rocky soil originally very round because they couldn’t afford the wood required for supports. They were large tunnels as they removed a lot of burden which they sluiced for Gold. The first thing is dress appropriately. Today I wouldn’t go back in without a Tyvek suit with gloves and boots all taped up and a respirator and hard hat. But I was young and stupid so blue jeans, tennis shoes and my stupid skull as protection. Flashlight in hand and I did have a friend down at the bottom of the gorge where he sat in the shade and drank beer. But I was so far up that mountain he wouldn’t even know which one I went in. I am six foot six inches tall, thin and was able to walk upright into the mines but soon realized that the floor of the mine was rising and falling more and more the deeper I went. It got to the point that there was only about two to three feet of clearance after going in for a conservative estimate of 500 yards or 1500 feet. The reason I started to rethink my endeavor, and I must say that after working in the Wastewater industry for 30 years and having smelt things that would make a maggot puke, the smell was getting pretty overwhelming as I was crawling on top of 120 to 130 year old (and forty + years ago now) piles of Bat Guano. Must have been a zillion tons in that deepest cave I went in. Finally the mine shaft got so narrow that I was grinding through the guano with now only about a foot of clearance. I was expecting a chamber where they would have found what they were looking for but I guess I didn’t get far enough in. But I finally came to the conclusion that if there were any artifacts in that mine and I’m sure there were, that they were buried under five to six feet of Bat S&*t. So after being Bat S&*t crazy stupid I managed to crawl back out of one of the grossest places of my life. I’m just glad I didn’t die from some dumb novel virus and restart a Pandemic. You never know you know. Thank you for listening.
20:56, those ridges reminded me of the subterranean chamber of the great pyramid!
Have we heard much more about that bit of causeway someone found under their house? I recall that tunnel being significant in length but can't find much of it aside from the news stories and a few pictures of tunnel that may or may not be the one we're talking about.
I've instantly subscribed to Geoffrey's chann! Thanks for the recommendation!
Start at the beginning, and he releases videos on Sundays. They're a fun series.
The tomb of the birds is located exactly 90° west of the GP at about 864 meter (2835 ft) of the GP's center. It's 123° from Khafre's pyramid at a distance of 646 meter (2120 ft). Probably means nothing.
Just a random idea, but i wonder if the cave system originally opened up into one of these tombs, and the were later modified and turned into temples.
Either way, I could imagine a scenario where this cave system, if accessible, could have been associated with an "underworld" or "land of the dead" by ancient Egyptians, and considering how far into cave systems we have found paleolithic art, it is not inconceivable that the ancient Egyptians knew the path of this cave as it travelled below the Giza plateau.
This also makes me wonder if they were perhaps tryin to connect with this cave system when they dug the descending passage in the great pyramid... not a far cry given that it is over 300 feet long.. quite the undertaking... this is all speculation mind you, but it seems at least plausible.
Given the cliff setting, when go back c 8,000+ years and Egypt and Sudan were wet savannah climates, the water would probably appeared as a spring at the base of the cliff.
Reminds me of the older mine tunnels in the town in Southern Arizona where I grew up. Some of the shorter tunnels had: Flies, Bats and Javelinas, the last 2 would leave quickly as you went in.
Near the center of the mine complex the tunnels were more connected with vertical shafts for dumping ore to a collection level. There were places where aqua colored flowstone covered large areas of floor and sinkholes leading down to collapsed rubble.
Thanks for posting, enjoyed this.
Y'all dropping hits today 🎉
👍👍👍
Your the first channel th@t i paid to join i only subscribe i seen your video live finding the block at the tunnel that was amazing i was holding my breath 😊😊
Looks like the chamber behind the wall had its wall collapse and revealing the natural cave behind it. After the collapse the broken chamber was sealed off.
When I went to temple of Hatshepsut my tour guide said their are caves on the side of the temple that big business scientology people pay big money to go and see the particular paintings and hieroglyphics, never saw or heard anything about it on the internet though
Nice that Collings managed to name a cave to his liking..would be nice to discover a neatly dressed room with granite walls and the advanced tools we are missing in the archeological archive .
This was awesome! Great work! 💥🤠
That doorway looks awfully rough for a deliberate entrance.
I said on history of granites video
They need to drill a hole throughout the whole pyrimad similar to finding at quartz sand thon time
The problem is that Hawass is not to be trusted. He has an extremely strong vested interest in maintaining the historical status quo as it would directly impact his paycheck for someone else to come along and show us something dramatically new. There is also some potential evidence that he is involved in ensuring new discoveries have had their artifacts sold on the black market before what is left gets released to the public.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Hancock fan either, but the combination of ancient reports about the labyrinth and questionable things we continue to find to the modern day do still point to a very early civilisation living in a huge cave network in the Giza area before it was built on top of and the aquifer flooded everything.
History for Granite (who collaborates with Ancient Architects on occasion) has criticized Hawass on more than a few occasions. But they’re reasonable criticisms rather than the conspiracy theories propagated by so many others.
I don't understand how it'd be against Hawass's interest for things to be discovered in Egypt. Seems far more the opposite, because then he'd be the arbiter of how it's displayed and found and such. Seems more to me he's residing over maintaining what is and the money that's filtered through bribes for that access. I don't know. Discovery just moves way too slow in the most obvious areas where historical things could be found, or it's not even bothered with at all (such as the Osirion or the Great Pyramid's voids).
Hawas had been caught dealing in antiquties long before he was "placed" in his current position.....very odd.
Somebody important/wealthy put him in charge. He covers up any new discoveries/leads, while maintaining quiet digs. Then later takes credit for someone else's discoveries....only to find nothing. Kind of leaves you wondering doesn't it?
He was minister for antiquities 2011. So he not in charge for long time. He in charge of scan pyramids project and some other archaeology stuff
Send the Action Adventure Twins they will find its deepest reaches
Land of Khem is a fave channel along with your research
You would think that they would have at least taken a photo! The Egyptians had the first camera. Pinhole camera.
Lovely Matt: Is it G. Hancock who writes about the 'Duat' Mythology/Hypothesis ie. 'As Above, so Below?' where we imagine the Egyptians 'Questing Out' the Giza Plateau, due to it's proximity to the Nile (with its Duat similarity to the Milky Way?)... - I've a feeling you've said you don't Subscribe to this notion - but it's interesting to imagine this natural cave system *also* forming part of this Quest, again with its Duat similarity to the River (Styx?) of mythology... Fascinating stuff mate, and thanks as ever for putting this together... Bobby 🙏🏻 Ps. Did Andrew Collins do 300+ metres on his own? Either way, those ANcient Aliens boys really are L👀ns aren't they?... 🤪😂🤣
It's not a coincidence that there are voids under the pyramids, obviously they were sacred places the Pharaohs want to themselves. Maybe water wells symbolic of life.
Very odd texture on the surface of the limestone within the caves. My guess is it's efflorescence mineralization and not precipitated.
Cave sediments are often scientifically useful for many reasons. They should be studied by geologists with an archeologist tagging along rather than the other way around.
I don’t want to state the obvious but i don’t think having permission to be in there is gunna change anything if there’s an earthquake.i think the outcome is very likely to be the same but interesting video.thanks my man.
If someone is trapped by cave in they might appreciate someone knowing where they are
@@alexsetterington3142 I’m saying that having permission to go in won’t change anything.you can still have people knowing where you are without permission.
They sure look like natural caves to me, but who's to say they weren't used as escape tunnels for pyramid workers after sealing them up?
deeply appreciate your investigations
Which water can be "mineral rich"? Salt water or fresh water or both? Does this mean it was flooded at one point?
What is all the blue rocks or is it from your leds and there seems a lot of clear deposits on the ceilings and walls
fascinating. Thanks, Matt.
Love you for this, I was in the tomb earlier this week but you really need equipment
Drones with cameras would do the trick. Not sure about the flight range underground though.
One question is: where are the bats getting out? Are they sen blowing out through the main entrance shown, or somewhere else. It would be fairly easy to spot with a number of observers at nightfall.
Perhaps you could collaborate with the @ActionAdventureTwins and visit Giza and the Tomb of the Birds. It would be an epic adventure. 👍Stay Awesome! Best…
Speculation is fun but exploration is better.
It confuses me that there's so many iron seams that kind of looked like they've been worked, but they didn't use iron way back then.
Could be that those tunnels where way more accessable tousands of years ago and become history/tales/religion to the later generations. So they started to build them by them self, to achieve something similar. Big Caverns with underground rivers, or those one full of mega crystals found in southamerica.
We are still today fascinated by all those buildings and stories that could be more... why not the same 3000-4000 years ago.
I remember reading when I was younger that the halls of amenti under the plateau were regarded a greater wonder than the pyramids above by some ancient people.
Here from ancient architects. I'll check out what you've got.
This is Ancient Architects
I’m in need of your prayers and healing vibes. Please keep me in your thoughts as I work towards better health.
Kufu had a restaurant. 😍.
If was run by his mummy! (I'll get my coat)
You all may laugh when I tell you that I made a significant archeological discovery in June of 2020 that has not been made public yet, but will occur very soon. Keep a lookout for a newly discovered Native American art found in Orange County, Virginia. It's a far bigger deal than it may sound.
We'll never know. Hawass isn't going to spend time there. The initial csve has had plenty of collapses, and exhibits tool marks on its walls, who is to say the collapses don't cover entrances and artifacts.
Great video man!
It almost reminds me of the cave system beneath the Pyramid of The Sun at Teotihuacan...almost.
Caves are holy to people throughout time and all over the world, so no surprise, honestly.
Thanks for posting!
I doubt these were used by humans at some point. They look really unpleasant to explore and I would expect to see more work to adapt the cave (stairs, clearing passage) if this was the case. However, there is the possibility that people from the past also explored this for fun and might have left really random artefacts. Old cave can also be goldmines for paleontolgy as bones from extinct animals can sometimes be found there. If we want to speculate, we can also suppose that the cave system might be connected accidentally to other tombs, but chances are slim.
Except. Some of those tunnels like a little too perfect. They could have tunnel through parts and because it's been so long it doesn't look like it now, with all the rain, water and other things coming through.
I've enjoyed your channel til now even if it has pushed certain views which I disagree with. But I would love to know why Giza Labyrinth pops up in text at the beginning of this video and then you proceed to show and talk about natural cave systems. I really encourage people to do a quick search on the enigma that the Labyrinth actually is written by ancient historians who actually saw it. There was nothing natural about it and it's grandeur rivaled even that of the great pyramids.
Super fascinating.
Would the cave entrances have been under water when the Nile ran closer to where the pyramids were built? That might limit how old the caves are.
I'm surprised that the entrances and easily accessible portions of the cave system have not been excavated properly. Like other religions, the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians would have slowly developed over time from primitive beginnings.
The natural cave system may have influenced the first stories of Afterlife and the Underworld, and the tunnels became shrines to this mythology. 'Priests' or 'shamans' may have ventured further in to conduct rituals or leave paintings on the cave walls, like those of France and Spain.
Any serious caver would follow the tunnels as far as they lead. There could be evidence of humans from a time much older than the pyramids. I don't understand how Hawas can ignore these possibilities, leaving the caves to fill with trash and rubble.
It's strange to think that some of my ancient ancestors would have seen this place in its heyday, be they as Persian invaders and or natives of the land.
The tunnels look like they are natural once past the initial interior that looks to be worked.
Also Looks like a person need a hazmat suit when entering the area.
