This was a big one. Thanks to everyone who helped get us so far. If you become a channel member, you can watch the weekly livestreams I've been doing tracing the casing stones of the Bent Pyramid. Still chipping away at these mysteries, one block at a time.
Another great video. What do you think happened after Kufu for the abandonment of the chimney/niche? Did Djedefre's pyramid have a similar structure to Kufu or was it more like Khafre?
The best "deep diving" into some facts! Theories (and you stated some at the end) should be treated with facts and not assumptions. When I hear "It must" for me, it is an assumption.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really appreciate your dry delivery in all your videos. I miss old History Channel documentaries where it's some British guy regurgitating facts over black and white war footage. Very little editorializing or emotion to mix up facts. It means so much to me that people can still speak facts on what they're passionate about.
I had the opportunity to climb to the upper chamber of the Bent Pyramid a year ago. There were fewer than a dozen visitors, which made an awesome experience. Your observations and explanations make a lot of sense, and I wish we had this information before my visit. This would have clarified the confusing statements that the Red Pyramid was built as a replacement of a failed effort.
Guerrilla archaeology is such a good term. Just as effective, too. I appreciate the care that was put into it, especially. No destruction or complexity needed to find new things.
Wow! This has given me a fresh perspective about Egyptian archaeology and what they intended for the things they worked so hard to build. It’s time to look at everything they’ve built through a new lens.
Yes, we have to keep the possibility of things about the pyramids are probably a bit different than the common beliefs. Keeping an open mind and yeah revisit the research now we have a different view. So much yet unknown!
what you reveal for the FIRST TIME EVER @ 25:00 is JAW-DROPPING....... I cannot believe this observation has never been made before, and cannot wait to see how this changes history.... BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
Peer review is us .. We are all capable of reading and understanding information and filtering out the facts from the speculation. To start to understand what a pyramid is and how it functions you have to read the ancient texts and try to get inside the heads of the people building them. They are literally "immortality machines" .. it's there in the texts.. It seems in some ways they have worked as intended because we know the names of their builders.. and while the name of a person is known they aren't really dead.. That's how they seem to have seen it. Add in the preservation of the bodies and what we know now about DNA and things and suddenly it's not quite so weird. If you are interested have a read of the story of Isis and Osiris and the birth of Horus.. then use your modern eyes on it.
Yeah, dude. Posting your ideas on a RUclips channel, where people who know very little about the subject can pat you on the back for your “great ideas,” is certainly moving the discourse forward in a more scientific way. If his ideas can’t stand up to scrutiny from people who are actually experts, then they’re worthless, and frankly, almost certainly not new or unique. I’m sorry but no “stem field scientist” would think throwing the scientific method and peer review out the window was a good idea. Anybody can post a hypothesis about something like this on the internet and claim everyone else is wrong. I mean, I find his videos interesting, but there’s no real evidence here except his own take on some pictures someone else took. No citations. No insight from contemporary texts. No apparent knowledge of ancient Egyptian society or religion. There’s a reason current archaeologists focus on texts and other evidence more than just the art and architecture: it’s a lot more explicit and reliable. There are thousands of people working in this field, not just Zahi Hawass and “big Egyptology”. The ideas this guy makes these videos about are not new, groundbreaking work, they’re just being presented to people who fancy themselves as amateur sleuths, and resent people who are actually experts, in the same way they resent politicians or their boss at work. The people in charge are always idiots to a lot of people.
This was well worth the wait. Very interesting theory and observational evidence that presents a compelling counter to the traditional narrative. I know of your disdain for academic Egyptology and publishing your work through this route, but this is seriously worthy of being presented in a journal and being discussed in academic circles. Outstanding work.
There is so much cleverly disguised humor here 😂 especially in the beginning. Then you address several very serious questions and observations. Bravo, thorough and beautiful presentation 😊
It's mind boggling how the people "in charge" of these magnificent structures aren't foaming at the mouth daily at their unprecedented opportunity to examine it! It's like being the richest man on earth and not caring to leave your home town in your entire life.
Yes, even as a mere curiosity, [let alone to be a Explorer], that lives on in the Books of History, [or a Scientist]; that discovers truths that change, the lives of Mankind; would be nice; instead; (we here): no drones, no exploration, no Spectroscopy neutrino analysis, & no Billion dollar industry for Egypt? 🤷♂️
Absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on a truly wonderful achievement, and the logical, fact-based conclusions it has allowed you to draw. I really hope you and those who helped you get the credit you deserve for this brilliant discovery.
It's a load of nonsense. Guess he forgot to mention the huge penis standing in the door. Looks like part of the design until you look at the bottom step at the doors threshold. If you know the story, this "white rock" is Eve's body, and they were using it to create lifeforms Like us! Payback is coming 7 fold for them.
The big secret of the Bent Pyramid, is that the bent top is a copy of the Red Pyramid, on a 10 to 5.5 ratio. The Red pyramid is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in cubits (x10). The top of Bent is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in rods. (The Egyptian rod is 5.5 cubits - the same as the Imperial rod is 5.5 yards.) So the Bent Pyramid was designed and planned to have the bend on top. This was not a mistake, or subsidence. See ‘K2, Quest if the Gods’. R
Well done, sir. Well done. What you've done here is amazing. I wish to thank those that helped you get these photos and I simply could not stop smiling when you showed us such a destroyed stone still very much plastered to the wall. This may be odd, but I couldn't help but think of the scene in Monty Python's Grail where the old man says, "but I'm not dead yet". That stone was not intended to lie down, yet it's been assumed to be a portcullis for a very long time.
Finally....An Egyptian video I don't fall asleep to!!!!! Oh no, I feel a binge watch coming on....History for Granite Ima have to slap you a good one cause now I'm up all night watching your content!!! LOL. And YES, I did sub! LOVE IT!!!
I am a person who must be doing two things at once, such as reading a book while watching a video, or working a logic puzzle while listening to a podcast. Your videos make me put everything else aside while I focus all my attention on your presentations. Bravo!
How did Egyptologists miss the clear change in angle carved into the casing stones themselves? That kind of willful blindness seems so unbelievable to me, not to mention utterly inexcusable.
Many things seem obvious once they're pointed out. Not all Egyptilogists study architecture, and even History for Granite just now noticed it, so I'd argue it is excusable. That's all assuming it hasn't been documented somewhere. I trust this channel is diligent about it's research, but it's certainly possible someone mentioned it somewhere in some obscure text. Lastly, perhaps it was observed but wasn't deemed noteworthy. If you did want to change pitch halfway through your construction, no reason you can't carve the angle into the stone. I'm more curious about the need to...Was the pyramid not level? Why not? Did a portion of it sink slightly? Etc.
Just like all Historians and Archeleogists: They don't want their world view shaken, they can't handle being wrong, so they close their eyes, ignore the obvious and remain dumb. Haven't you learned anything from Gobekli Tepe and how the Smithsonian Insitute or most so called "Scholars" acted, to the point were some claimed hoax because they couldn't handle being wrong?
@@rogerbabson7221 It would be really helpful and support your argument if you included some links to the evidence you suggest exists. Thanks in advance for providing evidence, not random YT commentary.
The chimneys use seems obvious to me. The Structure was built in layers. As fine work needed to be done in the main chamber, while the rest of the structure was continuing up. The chimney was the access port from above during this time (as well as light and air). The main chamber was therefore completed at what ever level the roof of the chimney is. Simple!
It's a pressure chamber. Fill it with water and each step up increases pressure. The grand gallery is the same thing. Go to land of khem youtube channel. He explains how all the pyramids are used to manufacture chemicals.
It is a travesty how you have been treated. Your videos simply present information and make reasonable, conservative conclusions from them. Any expert in should be happy to have people like you interested in their subject and motivated to examine the evidence. History will recognize your achievement and contributions. It has been amazing to watch and I am psyched to see what else you uncover or deduce.
It's a travesty that someone is old and hard-headed as Zahi is captain of the ship right now. Anybody that speaks so confidently on something nobody has a Smoking Gun to should be treated like a clown. He has that 5'5 Egyptian man energy.
Heh. Your not so subtle dig at "some powerful individuals in Egypt" is pure gold. The man is not camera shy - there are thousands of pictures and loads of video you could choose from - but that seconds long clip was PERFECTION.
Man, its been a long time since I'd poked around the inner chambers of the pyramids. I really appreciate the dedication for photographing the top of the chimney. I don't recall what I read about it back in elementary school 2 decades ago, but this was a delightfully informative video.
This really deserves to be massively shared ! And maybe properly peer-reviewed one day or another ...when psychologiy-driven architecture will be more widely studied and applied to archaeology. Like spirituality-driven architecture is at least. Very interesting ideas, thanks for your work and passion !
There's another detail that links the chimney to the queen's chamber niche: The chimney continues downwards for several meters (beyond the lowest point in the pyramid?) although it's filled in and I'm not sure if it was ever fully explored. The queen's chamber niche also has an excavation into the floor in front of it. I don't know why the excavation was made there (did looters dig there as well?) but it seems suspicious, especially after watching ancient architects' video on seven mysteries of the great pyramid. He makes a good case for this excavation to be reopened, and if your hypothesis is correct then the lower chimney should be as well. There may be evidence confirming the connection to be found. Thank you for a wonderful video, keep up the great work :)
This reminds me of those fancy writing desks with hidden compartments. For an outsider it looks like a writing desk, but to the owner it's a vault / safe containing his or her personal belongings, like letters and jewellery. And yes, these desks also had dummy elements built in to it, to mislead looters. Great video, HFG!
This is excellent work! While we cannot be entirely certain of the minutiae, we can be certain that while “mainstream” refuses to properly examine evidence they will always miss the mark! Thank you for the time and energy that both you and your colleague on the ground have put into this discovery! This is the REAL work, and I salute your efforts to produce credible and verifiable information about a cryptic and mystery-shrouded aspect of the ancient world.
Very interesting points you make deserving of responses from Egyptologists. I was taught in my undergrad degree that the Bent pyramid was an engineering mistake. What you've showed here casts legitimate doubt on that theory. The fact that the change in angle can occur in the middle of a casing stone block is very interesting.
Since the casing stones were the last thing on, wouldn’t that be normal that the change in degree be applied at wherever it happened to align on the casing stone?
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and just wow...I am amazed. From the research, to the 'get to the point' feeling you deliver..I loved it all.
Great video. I don't understand how any modern person could call the Bent Pyramid a failure- it's obvious it wasn't thought of that way from the amount of resources put into it after the change in angle. Whether they changed the design while building, or not, doesn't matter. I work in construction, design changes that happen during building lead to a successful project, IMO. Dude could have been like "I want a mini pyramid too" "All our workers are on the big one" "Is there any way we could free up resources from the big one? It's plenty big already.." I see no 'failure' which ever option one may believe. edit: a word
Lots to say: 1. Love your channel. 2. Historically top notch. 3. ASMR! I listen almost every night. Thank you. 4. Find a general place for general discussions. 5. Who are you? Interested in your background. 6. Suggestions, the Nile has to be filled with countless stones and obelisks that capsized during delivery. A show about How they delivered so many million tons of rock sometimes 500 miles away. Sure building the pyramids was hard but moving the rock 500 miles is a story unto itself.
Interesting! Thank you, again, for all the hard work you do in bringing us real findings around Egypt. A great discovery documented, and free for all to enjoy. Remarkable find, HfG. Love your research! 💖
Quite possibly the most insightful research on Bent Pyramid one can find on the internet, by a long shot. This applies to all videos from this channel, they put mainstream interpretations to shame. Well done HfG and thank you for sharing this.
To someone else's point. I appreciate the lack of fanfare and outrageousness that is so thick in anything involving the Egyptians. Just well thought out and evidence-based theories that don't state themselves as facts. Thank you! You've earned my subscription and I've just gone down the rabbit hole that you dug and I look forward to spending my Saturday doing it❤
I am a large fan of your content. Over all of your videos you’ve convinced me that your observation based theories on the pyramids are the most plausible in comparison to just about everything else out there currently. That being said you never fail to mention your frustrations with academic egyptology. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the majority of what you have to say on the topic but I’m curious as to why you haven’t published yourself to help set an example in making a change in these common held views in egyptology (or atleast set a foundation which others may build off of). I’m really grateful you make this stiff for us because its genuinely cool, but more or less as you’ve said, the only way deeper studies can take place at these monuments, especially ones utilizing modern technology, is if the egyptologists evolve to want that. As I see it, as someone familiar with the field of archaeology, I suspect part of the reason they’re as dismissive of new players doing research on these monuments as they are has to do with decades of combatting pseudo science has taken a great toll on them (acknowledging the few outsiders who make great points is unfortunately viewed as acknowledgement of the entire pseudo science community by said community since they see themselves as coming from the same background). I’m curious to know your own thoughts on having your own work peer reviewed so it can have its legitimacy firmly established in academia?
Indeed. I think his study of the casing stones and implications from there about ramps for example very much deserves publication. As does really this chimney study.
Einstein, despite many criticizing his theories, still followed the scientific method and published his works. Theories that the science community couldn’t shoot down. Those scientists might not have come around to general relativity but the next generation's sure did. And the reasons those scientists got anywhere is because they had Einsteins work as a verifiable foundation. I take no comfort in the fact that archaeology and especially egyptology are being held back by gate keeping. But change will come as it always does, no one lives forever and their ideologies with them. The old guard can be replaced by near clones of themselves, or maybe their successors will be different because the works they built off of disagreed with each other.
That observation of the angle change not being confined to a single course is the real clincher, to me. That does not fit with a sudden change of plans half-way through a construction project. That point where the two faces meet was chosen deliberately.
One could still argue that if a change of plans was necessary, should the aesthetics have been important enough, then it still made sense to cut blocks like that to "smooth" the transition. A closer investigation would hopefully yield more clues. Honestly, it astounds me that such a basic observation is not already commonly documented, unless that is a failure of the OC to find such documentation (less likely imo but still). What other details could have been missed? Did the LIDAR scan fully document the exterior, and at what resolution? What about ground-penetrating radar and the such?
Actually, the "precision" of the coursework is cruder than most realize - it is likely the builders employed a level of sorts to sight the horizontal line across the coursework and adjust the angle to fit where ever it occurred or was necessary...
I have always been interested in the Bent Pyramid, since I read a book about it, when I was a kid. Later as an engineer, I have tried to understand why they "modified" it in progress, and am firmly in the camp that they had had previous collapses, and were trying to fix the problem. Part of the problem is the building materials themselves, and part of it is how they actually built them. It is clear that most of the earlier "earth-like overlayed" pyramids did collapse very quickly. Maybe during the first real rainstorm that hit the desert. After some of the ziggurat cores remained, maybe they got the idea that they were too steep. And later they realized that limestone, although easily carved, would crush much easier. Using harder rock for the constructions (including the internal corbelling), showed that they understood the materials better. Thus a common "angle-of-build", not the natural angle-of-repose was established. The original angles associated with the Sun God's solar rays were probably based on actually viewed sunlight passing through clouds. As such, they may have assumed that the God wanted a steeper approach to his chair. Later engineering decisions indicate that they abandoned this idea, in favor of durability.
YES!! I only found this channel a month or so ago but have watched all your videos already. I was always really interested in the pyramids as a kid who grew up in the 90s but all the quackery that has been shown on the History and Discovery Channels in the intervening 20ish years made me lose interest. Your channel has gotten me interested in them again and has given me great information without all the Woo-Woo of modern "scientific" communication (I'm looking at you Zahi Hawass and others of his ilk). I really appreciate it and you.
People always say Zahi is more concerned with tourist dollars than science. I don't think that's it, I think he's just got an IQ of 68. You see, in the arab world, inbreeding is encouraged and is actually the norm in society. As a result their IQ is so low the only industry they have is showing people piles of rocks.
Great video as always. And great to see high res photos of a previously unseen feature. It seems that most, if not all, of our knowledge of the Pyramids comes from the work of interested amateurs rather than professional archeologists. And that's really weird. The work that you've just done is a classic example of it. Sending a camera up that shaft is a trivial task, and yet none of the "official" people ever bothered to do it. Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next installment.
Great video. Has anyone ever measured the distance in % or in actual feet/meters/cubits of where the bent pyramid bends, and compared it to the point where the great pyramid goes from large stones to distinctly smaller stones. There appears to be a line across both pyramids at about the same level, defined by the bend (in the bent pyramid) and the stone change in the great pyramid. I have noticed that the % of area dedicated to below ground, from ground to~30% above, and then the top % above the bend/line, seem uniform. (Gods of the underworld, Gods of the earth and Gods of the sky) each getting a % of the pharaoh's monument dedicated to them, to link him to all the Gods. Many polytheistic, ancient religions take great care to pay homage in all offerings to all the gods and not risk upsetting any of them. Has anyone ever considered the constructions in this manner?
I will answer this, since it is quite easy to look up this information... The change in angle of the bent pyramid occurs ~47 metres above the ground. However, the "point where the great pyramid goes from large stones to distinctly smaller stones" that you mention does not exist. You can easily find images on Google which show the height of each course and there really isn't any one special place where it changes. Rather there are *several* places where the layers become slightly thicker than normal for a few courses before returning to normal. These thicker courses occur at heights of roughly 17m, 30m, 38m, 70m, 77m, and 90m. None of these match with the 47m from the bent pyramid. The horizontal lines you can see (when the light hits at the right angle) on the Great pyramid are basically these areas where the course thickness is different. It's hard to make out but there could be a pattern to it, reflecting some structural thing, though I don't have any explanation for that.
I didn't know I was interested in this stuff until I randomly watched one of your videos a few days ago. I like your straight forward presentation style.
I follow this channel quite a while and I’m amazed by your passion and enthusiasm on this hunt for answers. This new episode is a pinnacle, a masterpiece … thank you so much and keep on the good work. You’re a hero to me and others and as such you deserve much more acknowledgment for your hard work. Best regards from Germany
Thank you for making this fascinating video and sharing these new photos. One thing that none of the other commenters seems to have mentioned is that the stones in the so called chimney look like they are made from solid quartz. You can see the crystalline structure of the damaged stone clearly and it contrasts with the (presumably limestone) building blocks beside it at 22:10 in the video. Quartz has fascinating frequency and piezo-electric properties and I wonder if the purpose of the "chimney" was to calibrate and fine-tune the resonant frequency of the building. I don't think it is a coincidence that the bigger pyramids of Giza were all originally covered completely with tiles of quartz before they got looted emoved. Also Ancient Egyptians were very interested in the concept of "squaring the circle" and this "bent" pyramid to me looks like a blending of a pyramid with a dome, which are incidentally the two best shapes for amplifying and focussing frequency. Anyone standing in a building with a dome will be aware of the acoustics of the room being magnified by the dome shape for example.
I am once again amazed at the discoveries you present and the hard work and insights you provide! It does make me wonder what you (and presumably others) would accomplish if proper funding, access and cooperation were made available. Thank you!
One item in your presentation I found so interesting is that there are two separate internal room structures. Initially these two internal structures were completely isolated from each other. As you pointed out, one could be open to the public while the other remained sealed. I would say that this might be exactly what we have in the Great Pyramid today. Looking at a couple of points, it appears we have not yet found the sealed portion. Recalling ancient historians recounting that entrance into the Great Pyramid was through a hinged stone that could be pushed open allowing entrance. There are been many diagrams showing this type of entrance on the north wall, yet when I went to the Great Pyramid, access was through the chiseled tunnel. This would have been the entrance to the chambers we are so familiar with today and open to the public. So there are two points that hint that the sealed portion has not yet been explored. The first was when inside the Kings chamber, the wall adjacent to the stone box, you will find a stone in this wall that is about the same size as the stone box and that this stone is non load bearing. This would be the stone that is hiding the passage. The other point of interest is from the recent muon scan data, that shows there seems to be a large void above and perhaps slightly to the west of the the Grand Gallery. Therefore…..if you were to remove this non load bearing stone in the wall of the Kings Chamber it seems you would have access to the void that is present in the Muon Scan data. I find it interesting that no one has publicly proposed removing this stone, nor would I believe, that the Egyptians would entertain such a request. However….a small bore hole and as you eloquently pointed out, we could use extremely small cameras and LED lighting to get a look behind this stone. This would answer the question of what else there is to discover inside the Great Pyramid.
Woo-hoo! I was so happy to see a new video from you today! An early Christmas present to be sure. Awesome and informative as always. You never disappoint. Presuming you probably won't post another video until January, I want to wish you and your family a merry holiday season and Happy New Year.. Looking forward to another successful year from you in 2024!
Have no idea how you did it, and hope you can continue. It's not "standard tourist equipment" but one low tech method to get your high tech elevated would be a helium balloon. It could also work outside, depending on the weather. Since photographers can't use tripods there, and drones are forbidden, a balloon has zero chance of hurting anything it it fell or collided with stones.
A sizeable helium balloon, a very light camera and LED light, batteries and a fishing rod strung with very light conductive wire are all standard tourist equipment, aren't they? I know I take them whenever I'm on holiday.
To me a "false door slab" would not exist to give the appearance of another passage to the living, but to symbolize a passage to the afterlife. This would absolutely make sense in regard to the niche in the queen's chamber. The chimney false doors provide portals for the dead to ascend to.
I really appreciate your presentation of what you see in the granite ( stones). It’s such a pleasure to be presented with facts and not wild speculation, we don’t know many answers to the pyramids and may never will. I have designed and built machines over my working life, it’s been fun to see people study them on completion and come up with wild and incorrect speculation about what the purpose is. That was within weeks not thousands of years. We don’t fully understand the religious rites of the time so how can we understand the building.
@@emrysmcwryn7902 what are you talking about? we understand the technology of that time...unless you're one of those who believe in ancient lasers and alien builders nonesense...
@@emrysmcwryn7902 No it doesn't. You need evidence that positively supports an alternative use of the pyramids. Poking a few holes in any established conclusions and pointing out lack of evidence regarding some pyramids doesn't give you that. I'd also argue that not fully understanding the methods of the builders is not the same as not understanding the technology, which we do.
This is the biggest crock of bullshit I’ve ever heard. The Egyptians, a.k.a Kemetites were Black people that built every pyramid obelisk and Temple On this planet. Get over yourselves.
At Gisa, some of the stone floor have cracks between massive stones. You can just keep pouring sand in them... it never fills up. On the other hand, ground penetrating radar scans, taken in several areas of Egypt reveals symmetrical structures (yes, also pyramids) still buried under the sand. Zahi Hawas has notably put a lid on anything that is new, and not censured by himself. Ben (unchartedX youtube channel) has also uncovered the existence of a palace under their feet while in Egypt. Why are there so many smart, interested individuals like yourself, barred from a full and rapid scientific exploration of a civilization(s) that spanned across antediluvian builders to Cleopatra? Science is a body of knowledge that is acquired in the pursuit of truth. Some people in authority are acting against science. Thank you for the excellent research you did! Cheers!
*Hawas has an ego bigger than the great pyramid.* He has done more to hold history back from the truth than the people slowly moving it forward with an open mind. As Max Planck famously said: _”Science progresses one funeral at a time.”_ There are many wonderful things awaiting to be discovered once he passes. This channel is a blessing against his dogma, propaganda, and closed mind / insecurity.
@@MichaelPohoreski You are so right Kind Sir. After the advent of Islam in the 7th Century, every single government and society there, has simply tried to hide the truth or schemed to fool the Scientific Community and the people as a whole. Zahi Hawass can be no different, after all he comes from the same powers that rule Egypt today. He has been in control for quite a long time being a minister for Antiquities Affair. He is no different from that Frank Monnier who notwithstanding his abilities, at best is a simply an Armchair Archeologist. Sadly these are the very people that simply kill the curiosity and interest of the people in history and archeology .
@@MichaelPohoreski I wonder how many unknown objects Hawas have in his private collection. Everytime something "new" was find it took years for Hawas to "investigate". That guy have probably robbed Egypt and the world over and over for decades.
@@MichaelPohoreskiI wish you were right, but you are mistaken. Hawas's death will do nothing. All people in Egypt are religious most are Muslim some Christian. All fear the finding of something that could rock either faith. Hawas's replacement will take the same stance. Every bit of knowledge we get is in defiance of theologie. They are gatekeepers. Egyptians would all gladly sacrifice their heritage for their religion. I firmly believe they would rather tear down the pyramids than let humanity find out who built the great pyramid.
Finally! Awesome discoveries. Thank you for presenting real facts that are conveniently ignored by lazy archeologists and pseudo scholars. The ancients would not have continued with this pyramid if it had been an error. The amount of resource would not have been wasted. All of it was intentional.
Watch a couple of videos, congratulations on the excellent content, the quality really stands out. The information we can find out here is priceless. subscribed!
Great content. Accessible pyramids is something I theorized about too. The entrances were predictably placed and it was certainly not a secret. Even if we look at famous mausoleums from the modern era, they are built in such way that they can accommodate visitors though not all areas are accessible to the public.
So I'm 17 and plan on studying archeologie after highschool. Also IDK if I'm the only one who feels this way but it absolutely disgusts me when archeologists force an assumption they've made about a clue as actually being that way when their isn't any solid evidence. I mean like don't say it's actually that way when ya don't know and state that it's only a possibility and explain for what possibility you think it might be a possibility you know, which is why I like this channel so much, anyway I'd like to hear some of your opinions on this if you don't mind.
When an author has little to add to a topic (such as Monnier's paper) they are tempted to make stronger assertions to make it seem like new research has occurred. But it was really just the same story as before, 'without doubt'. A legit peer-review process would never have let such an assertion pass through.
I watch all your videos to the end good sir - I also want to thank you for literally raising the bar once again and in doing so, the onus is truly on Egyptology to follow suit or be recognized as a road block (pun absolutely intended) 😂 I love this channel, keep up the great and important work that you do for all us who can’t get out to see it ourselves!
The big secret of the Bent Pyramid, is that the bent top is a copy of the Red Pyramid, on a 10 to 5.5 ratio. The Red pyramid is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in cubits (x10). The top of Bent is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in rods. (The Egyptian rod is 5.5 cubits - the same as the Imperial rod is 5.5 yards.) So the Bent Pyramid was designed and planned to have the bend on top. This was not a mistake, or subsidence. R
I think the chimney was built as a diversion. Burial chamber robbers were common and a well-known factor, all along. The builders intentionally made a diversion (difficult to maneuver) - in order to take-up robbers' time and hopefully leave them tired and frustrated - and opt to leave the site. Also, they had to use burning torches, and carbon monoxide would likely build up and badly effect the robbers - perhaps they'd get dizzy and fall down - to their peril.
I’m now officially a fan of your channel. This information was so mind-blowing. So impressive the lengths and depths of your investigation and efforts! Appreciate your work and efforts! Thank you! 🙏 ❤
Great observations on the bent pyramid. It is a shame that Egyptian enthusiasts may be blindly dismissed by degreed subject matter experts with published papers that pass peer review. Large scale collaboration and a willingness to listen to evidence and consider it to help hone historical truth should be the goal of all archaeologists. Another great video and thanks for sharing
The passion for history and calm, measured analysis on this channel is educational and entertaining to be sure, but for me the best part is always the barely contained mockery of dogmatic idiocy. Never stop being you, sir.
This is one of the best pyramid videos I’ve seen - pictures, comparisons, theories, stuff we actually know…. That’s all we got. To go or say more is spreading untruths and ideas as facts. It’s ok that we don’t know-there’s a lot about a lot we don’t know. We could possibly be a young civilization compared to what might have already been here several times before. Patience and open mindedness will eventually be the key to understanding everything
If the Great Pyramid was built using an internal ramp, as some evidence supports, this internal ramp could be a separate access to whatever might lie within the Great Void. These would be two independent sets of chambers, with the one we have not yet accessed being the higher one. Maybe -- *just* maybe -- Khufu's mummy is as yet undisturbed.
>Implying there ever was a mummy. Yeah right. The great void is obviously just another pulley ramp construction like the "grand gallery" below it. This "tombs" narrative is really silly, you guys. Some of these things were just monuments.
Given that the old dynasties didn't decorate the chambers, perhaps through some form of spiritual modesty, imagine if the big void is just a granite box, and Khufu's skeleton.
I have to think about the effort that looters made to climb up and attack that upper block and only giving up having destroyed most of it. Of course it's impossible to know how many looting expeditions were made over time. The first robbery may have been easy and fruitful and the many other attempts later on destructively explored around finding nothing or could it be that the first looters didn't find what they wanted where it would be expected and explored every possibility?
I think for pyramids, the first looting pass made the overwhelming majority of damage. If it’s already been plundered, there’s not much incentive to try that much harder to find things.
@@HistoryforGRANITE I can't help but think that. The first looters always seemed to know where to go almost exactly. The connecting corridor by the builders or the looters?
@@HistoryforGRANITE I disagree. To me, the looter that just destroy the walls in search of treasure are latter thieves, drawn in by the myths and legends of the pyramids, when there was already nothing left. Even if you think there is still treasure left, if you already got some easy to get treasure, you will not spend days chiseling inside a cave in full darkness to get just a bit more, you will sell what you have and live the life of luxury. But if all the easy to get treasure is already gone, then you chisel to get the scraps.
I had the same thought. I would love to see a modern day movie or a series about ancient looters. WIth al of it risk vs reward. Or about the construction of a pyramid itself. I think those backdrops could provide for some really interesting stories.
I know how you did it. A hydrogen balloon with a small, lightweight camera, held by a rope. Helium is more likely, obtaining Hydrogen in Egypt without attracting attention could probably be only done by building an electrolysis chamber in your hotel room.😂 However, Helium for party balloons should be easily accessible. Twist the rope a little, let go, twist, let go until you get a decent quality video footage of the circumference of the "Chimney". There is a product out there that is meant to be used in places where drones are prohibited: it's an expandable pole with a rotating camera on top. The software edits the pole out of the video to give you drone-like feel. However it's still not long enough to reach all the way up. So, what other way is there except a balloon and a tiny camera?
I think it makes sense that the change in angle is evidence of a change in plans, possibly because they saw structural problems perhaps not in the bent pyramid under construction itself but maybe the collapse of the Meidum pyramid made them reconsider the steep angle. But I don't understand why that should be seen as a failure; after all they finished it and it still stands today which is pretty successful in my opinion. It still looks impressive even with a bend, it's nowhere near as awkward looking as the leaning tower of Pisa, which is even more successful as a tourist attraction because of this flaw. It would not surprise me at all if the ancient Egyptians found a way to "spin" the bend as something impressive rather than a failure. And after all we belive that the bent pyramid was the first pyramid at that scale so no matter how it had been shaped it would still be impressive, even after the bigger and straighter pyramids were built, the bent one was still probably known to be older which makes it impressive even though later ones were bigger and without a bend.
I don't believe the Egyptians built the pyramids or many other things in that region but i do find your work very very intersting. Respect and keep up your great work.
I find it interesting that both of the stone's alcoves have exactly the same architecture just mirrored. The same height blocks, the same number and size of steps etc. They weren't just built into the existing layers, they were planned and deliberately designed. I agree that they were probably fake passages. I'm not sure what conclusion you can actually draw from that but I suspect the spiritual aspect is the biggest thing. Perhaps incense was placed at the bottom and incense on the small ledge opposite to guide spirits. The chimney was functional and with fake passages it was spiritual.
I wonder how the room would react to incense being burned as there is a connecting tunnel... the heated smoke could maybe create an interesting effect within the chamber, like a updraft inside the chimney that would spit out the cooling incense smoke through which since now cold, would sink to the floor?
If the lower chamber was used for public ceremonies, with groups of people, a big danger might have been the buildup of carbon dioxide from lamps, torches, and other sources that could have made breathing extremely difficult. The chimney might have been a functional way to create a forced draft of hot air to help draw in a constant flow of fresh air down the entrance passage. Perhaps the Egyptians were aware of these issues from enclosed underground spaces and were trying to create solutions. A CO2 detector and a small smoke generator might reveal some interesting patterns.
I personally think it’s meant to be this way. Maybe, they just build it this way for it to look different than the rest. Make some sort of “statement”. just saying…🤷♂️ And no one should ever believe what that thieve, liar Hawass has to say about any pyramid. Your videos are as close as I’ll ever get on seeing these marvelous structures “up close”. Thank you for your outstanding work as always..👌👏👏
Would love to see you do an analysis of Matt's (Ancient Architects) theory of the King's Chamber, where he points out that there is a block in the wall which is not load bearing, and would allow the "sarcophagus" to be pushed through if it was removed. In fact, the box is perfectly aligned with the non-load bearing block in the adjacent wall. It would explain how the box got into the chamber, as it's too large to fit in the known entrances. What this would mean though, is that there are yet-unexplored passages within the Great Pyramid, and likely even a yet to be discovered entrance. I personally think that this theory makes a lot of sense, and deserves real investigation.
The capstone to inner chamber vent-tunnel could have contained a series of mirrors/polished silver that could reflect sunlight (or even light from a full moon) into being directed into the inner chambers. You have to remember that fire/torchlight burn up oxygen and give off exhaust with its various toxic gases and smoke. The engineers probably wanted to keep smoke from staining the mural art and they knew that they had to find an alternative to torchlight for the artists who had to work on the finishing touches and for a permanent light source for future reverance and showcasing or upkeep of the inner chambers. The mirrors/polished silver disks would have been dislodged from the vent and stolen by thieves over time.
Thank you for this. The Bent Pyramid is my favourite Pyramid of them all. I recently made a shorts video about my visit there too. It's nothing like your amazing, well-educated videos - but it's the tourist's view of the Bent Pyramid. If you are curious, here it is: ruclips.net/user/shortsZvCgrJN4V1s
What a great little video! It's amazing what a leg-workout getting in and out of the pyramid is. None of the other pyramids really prepare you for how much energy it takes.
Wonderful ideas as always ! But please refrain from this beef with other researchers! Intelligent people shouldn't throw shade at each other - let's just hear everyone's theories and good arguments about these wonderful structures! I can understand your frustration over obstacles in the way of examination, good job acquiring these images!
@@HistoryforGRANITE You've already made it that I'm afraid. Hawas for example doesn't have many fans amongst Egyptology enthusiasts, but there's far more dignity in setting aside any personal frustrations with him or his ilk and letting your work stand on its own merits.
We no longer live in the 1800's, it is RUclips and not an aristocratic chamber of knowledge. BS should always be called out in detail and not hidden behind a politicly correct "We are only here for knowledge not your opinion" mindset. Did I also mention that this is RUclips? Intelligent people should ignore critics on YT who bring nothing but exactly that to the table.

This was a big one. Thanks to everyone who helped get us so far. If you become a channel member, you can watch the weekly livestreams I've been doing tracing the casing stones of the Bent Pyramid. Still chipping away at these mysteries, one block at a time.
These videos are always a treat 👌
Was disappointed you at no point talk laconically about a feature and then go "IT'S FULL OF BATS AAAA!"
Another great video. What do you think happened after Kufu for the abandonment of the chimney/niche? Did Djedefre's pyramid have a similar structure to Kufu or was it more like Khafre?
The best "deep diving" into some facts! Theories (and you stated some at the end) should be treated with facts and not assumptions. When I hear "It must" for me, it is an assumption.
"as someone wise once said, the map is not the territory"
You're thinking Alfred Korzybski and his General Semantics, great stuff
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really appreciate your dry delivery in all your videos. I miss old History Channel documentaries where it's some British guy regurgitating facts over black and white war footage. Very little editorializing or emotion to mix up facts. It means so much to me that people can still speak facts on what they're passionate about.
SAME!!!
Lol such an insulting compliment. I totally get it though.
That’s not a British accent. Its an American accent.
@ItsOnlyNiall he didn't say the video creator had a British accent 😂
@@terpynews5458 so it’s irrelevant to mention “I miss old documentaries with an old guy with a British accent!” Lol.
Quite possibly your finest work! Outstanding! 👏👏👏👏
you blokes are brilliant
I had the opportunity to climb to the upper chamber of the Bent Pyramid a year ago. There were fewer than a dozen visitors, which made an awesome experience. Your observations and explanations make a lot of sense, and I wish we had this information before my visit. This would have clarified the confusing statements that the Red Pyramid was built as a replacement of a failed effort.
History for GRANITE's guerrilla archaeology is far more interesting than anything conventional I've seen in my lifetime
youre not wrong
Very true
Guerrilla archaeology is such a good term. Just as effective, too. I appreciate the care that was put into it, especially. No destruction or complexity needed to find new things.
Guerilla is incompatible with peer review.
@@HotelPapa100 how can it be incompatible with peer review, when it itself is peer review
Man the erosion on those pyramids makes me sad. Wish we could have seen them in their full glory days.
Wow! This has given me a fresh perspective about Egyptian archaeology and what they intended for the things they worked so hard to build. It’s time to look at everything they’ve built through a new lens.
Yes, we have to keep the possibility of things about the pyramids are probably a bit different than the common beliefs. Keeping an open mind and yeah revisit the research now we have a different view. So much yet unknown!
I agree. History For Granite is a level above the rest
Please read my comment above, there's possibly a simple explanation!
what you reveal for the FIRST TIME EVER @ 25:00 is JAW-DROPPING....... I cannot believe this observation has never been made before, and cannot wait to see how this changes history.... BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
This is simply mind-boggling. How has none of the self-proclaimed egyptologists ever bothered to closely look at the bend?
That’s why no drones are allowed.
amazing job Sir!
Terrific arguments! I too have always been nauseated by the "schlocky" docu-dramas. Well done!!
STEM field scientist here. Thanks for shedding some light on peer review for what it is. It's all just a club.
Peer review is us .. We are all capable of reading and understanding information and filtering out the facts from the speculation. To start to understand what a pyramid is and how it functions you have to read the ancient texts and try to get inside the heads of the people building them. They are literally "immortality machines" .. it's there in the texts.. It seems in some ways they have worked as intended because we know the names of their builders.. and while the name of a person is known they aren't really dead.. That's how they seem to have seen it. Add in the preservation of the bodies and what we know now about DNA and things and suddenly it's not quite so weird. If you are interested have a read of the story of Isis and Osiris and the birth of Horus.. then use your modern eyes on it.
circular assniffing
Like a Dutch rudder.
Yeah, dude. Posting your ideas on a RUclips channel, where people who know very little about the subject can pat you on the back for your “great ideas,” is certainly moving the discourse forward in a more scientific way. If his ideas can’t stand up to scrutiny from people who are actually experts, then they’re worthless, and frankly, almost certainly not new or unique. I’m sorry but no “stem field scientist” would think throwing the scientific method and peer review out the window was a good idea. Anybody can post a hypothesis about something like this on the internet and claim everyone else is wrong. I mean, I find his videos interesting, but there’s no real evidence here except his own take on some pictures someone else took. No citations. No insight from contemporary texts. No apparent knowledge of ancient Egyptian society or religion. There’s a reason current archaeologists focus on texts and other evidence more than just the art and architecture: it’s a lot more explicit and reliable. There are thousands of people working in this field, not just Zahi Hawass and “big Egyptology”. The ideas this guy makes these videos about are not new, groundbreaking work, they’re just being presented to people who fancy themselves as amateur sleuths, and resent people who are actually experts, in the same way they resent politicians or their boss at work. The people in charge are always idiots to a lot of people.
It's a big club ... And you and I aren't in it
This was well worth the wait. Very interesting theory and observational evidence that presents a compelling counter to the traditional narrative. I know of your disdain for academic Egyptology and publishing your work through this route, but this is seriously worthy of being presented in a journal and being discussed in academic circles. Outstanding work.
There is so much cleverly disguised humor here 😂 especially in the beginning. Then you address several very serious questions and observations. Bravo, thorough and beautiful presentation 😊
It's mind boggling how the people "in charge" of these magnificent structures aren't foaming at the mouth daily at their unprecedented opportunity to examine it! It's like being the richest man on earth and not caring to leave your home town in your entire life.
Yes, even as a mere curiosity, [let alone to be a Explorer], that lives on in the Books of History, [or a Scientist]; that discovers truths that change, the lives of Mankind; would be nice; instead; (we here): no drones, no exploration, no Spectroscopy neutrino analysis, & no Billion dollar industry for Egypt? 🤷♂️
they obviously arent allowed because of the unwelcomed answers it may give
Academic arrogance seems to be the main factor here. No Egyptologist wants their theories disproven.
The questions and their answers(truths), scratch the surface of a very deep lie... People are greedy, and exploitative.
How do you know they haven't already?
Absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on a truly wonderful achievement, and the logical, fact-based conclusions it has allowed you to draw. I really hope you and those who helped you get the credit you deserve for this brilliant discovery.
No dramatic music? No mellow dramatic script? Just a down to the bass tacks, informational video? This is incredible. Thank you so much.
This is an excellent example of historical architectural research, beautifully presented and very educational. Congratulations!
Sand blown dunes is an outlandish idea. Wind does not move rock and gravel.
It's a load of nonsense.
Guess he forgot to mention the huge penis standing in the door. Looks like part of the design until you look at the bottom step at the doors threshold.

Like us! Payback is coming 7 fold for them.
The big secret of the Bent Pyramid, is that the bent top is a copy of the Red Pyramid, on a 10 to 5.5 ratio.
The Red pyramid is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in cubits (x10).
The top of Bent is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in rods.
(The Egyptian rod is 5.5 cubits - the same as the Imperial rod is 5.5 yards.)
So the Bent Pyramid was designed and planned to have the bend on top.
This was not a mistake, or subsidence.
See ‘K2, Quest if the Gods’.

Well done, sir. Well done.
What you've done here is amazing. I wish to thank those that helped you get these photos and I simply could not stop smiling when you showed us such a destroyed stone still very much plastered to the wall.
This may be odd, but I couldn't help but think of the scene in Monty Python's Grail where the old man says, "but I'm not dead yet". That stone was not intended to lie down, yet it's been assumed to be a portcullis for a very long time.
Finally....An Egyptian video I don't fall asleep to!!!!! Oh no, I feel a binge watch coming on....History for Granite Ima have to slap you a good one cause now I'm up all night watching your content!!! LOL. And YES, I did sub! LOVE IT!!!
I am a person who must be doing two things at once, such as reading a book while watching a video, or working a logic puzzle while listening to a podcast.
Your videos make me put everything else aside while I focus all my attention on your presentations.
Bravo!
You can't read a book while watching a video. Unless you don't care about getting nothing out of either activity.
How did Egyptologists miss the clear change in angle carved into the casing stones themselves? That kind of willful blindness seems so unbelievable to me, not to mention utterly inexcusable.
Many things seem obvious once they're pointed out. Not all Egyptilogists study architecture, and even History for Granite just now noticed it, so I'd argue it is excusable.
That's all assuming it hasn't been documented somewhere. I trust this channel is diligent about it's research, but it's certainly possible someone mentioned it somewhere in some obscure text.
Lastly, perhaps it was observed but wasn't deemed noteworthy. If you did want to change pitch halfway through your construction, no reason you can't carve the angle into the stone. I'm more curious about the need to...Was the pyramid not level? Why not? Did a portion of it sink slightly? Etc.
@@rogerbabson7221please name some published articles or books that mention this carved angle. Thanks 🙏
Just like all Historians and Archeleogists: They don't want their world view shaken, they can't handle being wrong, so they close their eyes, ignore the obvious and remain dumb. Haven't you learned anything from Gobekli Tepe and how the Smithsonian Insitute or most so called "Scholars" acted, to the point were some claimed hoax because they couldn't handle being wrong?
@@rogerbabson7221 Could you link to a study that remarks on the uneven angle?
@@rogerbabson7221 It would be really helpful and support your argument if you included some links to the evidence you suggest exists. Thanks in advance for providing evidence, not random YT commentary.
The chimneys use seems obvious to me. The Structure was built in layers. As fine work needed to be done in the main chamber, while the rest of the structure was continuing up. The chimney was the access port from above during this time (as well as light and air). The main chamber was therefore completed at what ever level the roof of the chimney is. Simple!
It's a pressure chamber. Fill it with water and each step up increases pressure. The grand gallery is the same thing. Go to land of khem youtube channel. He explains how all the pyramids are used to manufacture chemicals.
@@Spectre-wd9dl LOOOL
It is a travesty how you have been treated. Your videos simply present information and make reasonable, conservative conclusions from them.
Any expert in should be happy to have people like you interested in their subject and motivated to examine the evidence.
History will recognize your achievement and contributions. It has been amazing to watch and I am psyched to see what else you uncover or deduce.
It's a travesty that someone is old and hard-headed as Zahi is captain of the ship right now. Anybody that speaks so confidently on something nobody has a Smoking Gun to should be treated like a clown. He has that 5'5 Egyptian man energy.
Heh. Your not so subtle dig at "some powerful individuals in Egypt" is pure gold. The man is not camera shy - there are thousands of pictures and loads of video you could choose from - but that seconds long clip was PERFECTION.
The bent pyramid is gorgeous, could you imagine how it must've looked after it was constructed? ❤
Yes, quite bent.
@@spazmonkey3815I don’t think it was bent at all, I think people came by later and added that on top of rubble
Man, its been a long time since I'd poked around the inner chambers of the pyramids. I really appreciate the dedication for photographing the top of the chimney. I don't recall what I read about it back in elementary school 2 decades ago, but this was a delightfully informative video.
This really deserves to be massively shared ! And maybe properly peer-reviewed one day or another
...when psychologiy-driven architecture will be more widely studied and applied to archaeology.
Like spirituality-driven architecture is at least.
Very interesting ideas, thanks for your work and passion !
There's another detail that links the chimney to the queen's chamber niche: The chimney continues downwards for several meters (beyond the lowest point in the pyramid?) although it's filled in and I'm not sure if it was ever fully explored. The queen's chamber niche also has an excavation into the floor in front of it. I don't know why the excavation was made there (did looters dig there as well?) but it seems suspicious, especially after watching ancient architects' video on seven mysteries of the great pyramid. He makes a good case for this excavation to be reopened, and if your hypothesis is correct then the lower chimney should be as well. There may be evidence confirming the connection to be found. Thank you for a wonderful video, keep up the great work :)
This reminds me of those fancy writing desks with hidden compartments. For an outsider it looks like a writing desk, but to the owner it's a vault / safe containing his or her personal belongings, like letters and jewellery. And yes, these desks also had dummy elements built in to it, to mislead looters. Great video, HFG!
This is excellent work! While we cannot be entirely certain of the minutiae, we can be certain that while “mainstream” refuses to properly examine evidence they will always miss the mark! Thank you for the time and energy that both you and your colleague on the ground have put into this discovery! This is the REAL work, and I salute your efforts to produce credible and verifiable information about a cryptic and mystery-shrouded aspect of the ancient world.
Best History channel ever! I love that you always back up your theories with relevant evidence! Thanks so much for all your hard work! Cheers!
Found your channel about a month ago. Cant get enough. Keep up the amazing work.
Very interesting points you make deserving of responses from Egyptologists. I was taught in my undergrad degree that the Bent pyramid was an engineering mistake. What you've showed here casts legitimate doubt on that theory. The fact that the change in angle can occur in the middle of a casing stone block is very interesting.
Since the casing stones were the last thing on, wouldn’t that be normal that the change in degree be applied at wherever it happened to align on the casing stone?
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and just wow...I am amazed. From the research, to the 'get to the point' feeling you deliver..I loved it all.
Great video. I don't understand how any modern person could call the Bent Pyramid a failure- it's obvious it wasn't thought of that way from the amount of resources put into it after the change in angle. Whether they changed the design while building, or not, doesn't matter. I work in construction, design changes that happen during building lead to a successful project, IMO. Dude could have been like "I want a mini pyramid too" "All our workers are on the big one" "Is there any way we could free up resources from the big one? It's plenty big already.." I see no 'failure' which ever option one may believe.
edit: a word
Kudos.
I thought hour videos examining the stone work “hiding” in plain site were excellent, but now you give us stonework that was actually hidden.
Lots to say:
1. Love your channel. 2. Historically top notch. 3. ASMR! I listen almost every night. Thank you. 4. Find a general place for general discussions. 5. Who are you? Interested in your background. 6. Suggestions, the Nile has to be filled with countless stones and obelisks that capsized during delivery. A show about How they delivered so many million tons of rock sometimes 500 miles away.
Sure building the pyramids was hard but moving the rock 500 miles is a story unto itself.
Interesting! Thank you, again, for all the hard work you do in bringing us real findings around Egypt. A great discovery documented, and free for all to enjoy. Remarkable find, HfG. Love your research! 💖
Quite possibly the most insightful research on Bent Pyramid one can find on the internet, by a long shot. This applies to all videos from this channel, they put mainstream interpretations to shame. Well done HfG and thank you for sharing this.
To someone else's point. I appreciate the lack of fanfare and outrageousness that is so thick in anything involving the Egyptians. Just well thought out and evidence-based theories that don't state themselves as facts. Thank you! You've earned my subscription and I've just gone down the rabbit hole that you dug and I look forward to spending my Saturday doing it❤
I am a large fan of your content. Over all of your videos you’ve convinced me that your observation based theories on the pyramids are the most plausible in comparison to just about everything else out there currently. That being said you never fail to mention your frustrations with academic egyptology. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the majority of what you have to say on the topic but I’m curious as to why you haven’t published yourself to help set an example in making a change in these common held views in egyptology (or atleast set a foundation which others may build off of). I’m really grateful you make this stiff for us because its genuinely cool, but more or less as you’ve said, the only way deeper studies can take place at these monuments, especially ones utilizing modern technology, is if the egyptologists evolve to want that. As I see it, as someone familiar with the field of archaeology, I suspect part of the reason they’re as dismissive of new players doing research on these monuments as they are has to do with decades of combatting pseudo science has taken a great toll on them (acknowledging the few outsiders who make great points is unfortunately viewed as acknowledgement of the entire pseudo science community by said community since they see themselves as coming from the same background). I’m curious to know your own thoughts on having your own work peer reviewed so it can have its legitimacy firmly established in academia?
Maybe he has published we don't know
Indeed. I think his study of the casing stones and implications from there about ramps for example very much deserves publication. As does really this chimney study.
Another video well done. Thanks for the extra effort to get those pictures.
Einstein, despite many criticizing his theories, still followed the scientific method and published his works. Theories that the science community couldn’t shoot down. Those scientists might not have come around to general relativity but the next generation's sure did. And the reasons those scientists got anywhere is because they had Einsteins work as a verifiable foundation. I take no comfort in the fact that archaeology and especially egyptology are being held back by gate keeping. But change will come as it always does, no one lives forever and their ideologies with them. The old guard can be replaced by near clones of themselves, or maybe their successors will be different because the works they built off of disagreed with each other.
Well said! @@prospero11
That observation of the angle change not being confined to a single course is the real clincher, to me. That does not fit with a sudden change of plans half-way through a construction project. That point where the two faces meet was chosen deliberately.
One could still argue that if a change of plans was necessary, should the aesthetics have been important enough, then it still made sense to cut blocks like that to "smooth" the transition. A closer investigation would hopefully yield more clues.
Honestly, it astounds me that such a basic observation is not already commonly documented, unless that is a failure of the OC to find such documentation (less likely imo but still). What other details could have been missed? Did the LIDAR scan fully document the exterior, and at what resolution? What about ground-penetrating radar and the such?
Actually, the "precision" of the coursework is cruder than most realize - it is likely the builders employed a level of sorts to sight the horizontal line across the coursework and adjust the angle to fit where ever it occurred or was necessary...
I have always been interested in the Bent Pyramid, since I read a book about it, when I was a kid. Later as an engineer, I have tried to understand why they "modified" it in progress, and am firmly in the camp that they had had previous collapses, and were trying to fix the problem. Part of the problem is the building materials themselves, and part of it is how they actually built them. It is clear that most of the earlier "earth-like overlayed" pyramids did collapse very quickly. Maybe during the first real rainstorm that hit the desert. After some of the ziggurat cores remained, maybe they got the idea that they were too steep. And later they realized that limestone, although easily carved, would crush much easier. Using harder rock for the constructions (including the internal corbelling), showed that they understood the materials better. Thus a common "angle-of-build", not the natural angle-of-repose was established. The original angles associated with the Sun God's solar rays were probably based on actually viewed sunlight passing through clouds. As such, they may have assumed that the God wanted a steeper approach to his chair. Later engineering decisions indicate that they abandoned this idea, in favor of durability.
YES!! I only found this channel a month or so ago but have watched all your videos already. I was always really interested in the pyramids as a kid who grew up in the 90s but all the quackery that has been shown on the History and Discovery Channels in the intervening 20ish years made me lose interest. Your channel has gotten me interested in them again and has given me great information without all the Woo-Woo of modern "scientific" communication (I'm looking at you Zahi Hawass and others of his ilk). I really appreciate it and you.
Hi 👋 I’m a 90s kid too 👍
@@sandman8920Hellz yeah! Made and born in the mid-80s; molded by the 90s!
God knows how much damage Hawarse has done to the field, the man is an arrogant criminal.
People always say Zahi is more concerned with tourist dollars than science. I don't think that's it, I think he's just got an IQ of 68. You see, in the arab world, inbreeding is encouraged and is actually the norm in society. As a result their IQ is so low the only industry they have is showing people piles of rocks.
@@charliecarpenter2840 I agree. Also, I see what you did there. ROFL
Great video as always. And great to see high res photos of a previously unseen feature. It seems that most, if not all, of our knowledge of the Pyramids comes from the work of interested amateurs rather than professional archeologists. And that's really weird. The work that you've just done is a classic example of it. Sending a camera up that shaft is a trivial task, and yet none of the "official" people ever bothered to do it. Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next installment.
Wonderful presentation...I could not stop watching. Short , full with infos .Thank you . I will look for more of your videos.
Some of the best work on the pyramids is being done right here on this channel! Well done sir
Great video. Has anyone ever measured the distance in % or in actual feet/meters/cubits of where the bent pyramid bends, and compared it to the point where the great pyramid goes from large stones to distinctly smaller stones. There appears to be a line across both pyramids at about the same level, defined by the bend (in the bent pyramid) and the stone change in the great pyramid. I have noticed that the % of area dedicated to below ground, from ground to~30% above, and then the top % above the bend/line, seem uniform. (Gods of the underworld, Gods of the earth and Gods of the sky) each getting a % of the pharaoh's monument dedicated to them, to link him to all the Gods. Many polytheistic, ancient religions take great care to pay homage in all offerings to all the gods and not risk upsetting any of them. Has anyone ever considered the constructions in this manner?
interesting take, i hope someone looks deeper into this.
I will answer this, since it is quite easy to look up this information... The change in angle of the bent pyramid occurs ~47 metres above the ground. However, the "point where the great pyramid goes from large stones to distinctly smaller stones" that you mention does not exist. You can easily find images on Google which show the height of each course and there really isn't any one special place where it changes. Rather there are *several* places where the layers become slightly thicker than normal for a few courses before returning to normal. These thicker courses occur at heights of roughly 17m, 30m, 38m, 70m, 77m, and 90m. None of these match with the 47m from the bent pyramid. The horizontal lines you can see (when the light hits at the right angle) on the Great pyramid are basically these areas where the course thickness is different. It's hard to make out but there could be a pattern to it, reflecting some structural thing, though I don't have any explanation for that.

I didn't know I was interested in this stuff until I randomly watched one of your videos a few days ago. I like your straight forward presentation style.
Incredible work, thank you for this presentation.
Thank you for all the support and being an awesome reference.
I follow this channel quite a while and I’m amazed by your passion and enthusiasm on this hunt for answers. This new episode is a pinnacle, a masterpiece … thank you so much and keep on the good work. You’re a hero to me and others and as such you deserve much more acknowledgment for your hard work. Best regards from Germany
Big hugs from bohemian forest
Thank you for making this fascinating video and sharing these new photos. One thing that none of the other commenters seems to have mentioned is that the stones in the so called chimney look like they are made from solid quartz. You can see the crystalline structure of the damaged stone clearly and it contrasts with the (presumably limestone) building blocks beside it at 22:10 in the video. Quartz has fascinating frequency and piezo-electric properties and I wonder if the purpose of the "chimney" was to calibrate and fine-tune the resonant frequency of the building. I don't think it is a coincidence that the bigger pyramids of Giza were all originally covered completely with tiles of quartz before they got looted
emoved. Also Ancient Egyptians were very interested in the concept of "squaring the circle" and this "bent" pyramid to me looks like a blending of a pyramid with a dome, which are incidentally the two best shapes for amplifying and focussing frequency. Anyone standing in a building with a dome will be aware of the acoustics of the room being magnified by the dome shape for example.
I am once again amazed at the discoveries you present and the hard work and insights you provide! It does make me wonder what you (and presumably others) would accomplish if proper funding, access and cooperation were made available. Thank you!
Always excited for a new video!
I'm no expert, but you come across as more credible than the well-known media types
Imagine the treasures Zahi has hidden in his basement? Lol 😉🤣. Cheers. Love your videos.
You and Richard Dean Anderson
are my favorite pyramid experts.
One item in your presentation I found so interesting is that there are two separate internal room structures. Initially these two internal structures were completely isolated from each other. As you pointed out, one could be open to the public while the other remained sealed. I would say that this might be exactly what we have in the Great Pyramid today. Looking at a couple of points, it appears we have not yet found the sealed portion. Recalling ancient historians recounting that entrance into the Great Pyramid was through a hinged stone that could be pushed open allowing entrance. There are been many diagrams showing this type of entrance on the north wall, yet when I went to the Great Pyramid, access was through the chiseled tunnel. This would have been the entrance to the chambers we are so familiar with today and open to the public. So there are two points that hint that the sealed portion has not yet been explored. The first was when inside the Kings chamber, the wall adjacent to the stone box, you will find a stone in this wall that is about the same size as the stone box and that this stone is non load bearing. This would be the stone that is hiding the passage. The other point of interest is from the recent muon scan data, that shows there seems to be a large void above and perhaps slightly to the west of the the Grand Gallery. Therefore…..if you were to remove this non load bearing stone in the wall of the Kings Chamber it seems you would have access to the void that is present in the Muon Scan data. I find it interesting that no one has publicly proposed removing this stone, nor would I believe, that the Egyptians would entertain such a request. However….a small bore hole and as you eloquently pointed out, we could use extremely small cameras and LED lighting to get a look behind this stone. This would answer the question of what else there is to discover inside the Great Pyramid.
so good to see you back
Woo-hoo! I was so happy to see a new video from you today! An early Christmas present to be sure. Awesome and informative as always. You never disappoint. Presuming you probably won't post another video until January, I want to wish you and your family a merry holiday season and Happy New Year.. Looking forward to another successful year from you in 2024!
This was amazing! Seeing actual pictures from within the pyramid and the explanations for it was thrilling. Keep up the great work
Have no idea how you did it, and hope you can continue. It's not "standard tourist equipment" but one low tech method to get your high tech elevated would be a helium balloon. It could also work outside, depending on the weather. Since photographers can't use tripods there, and drones are forbidden, a balloon has zero chance of hurting anything it it fell or collided with stones.
A sizeable helium balloon, a very light camera and LED light, batteries and a fishing rod strung with very light conductive wire are all standard tourist equipment, aren't they? I know I take them whenever I'm on holiday.
To me a "false door slab" would not exist to give the appearance of another passage to the living, but to symbolize a passage to the afterlife. This would absolutely make sense in regard to the niche in the queen's chamber. The chimney false doors provide portals for the dead to ascend to.
Yes this. There are lots of examples of false doors in other tombs. One even shows the deceased stepping through the false door.
Everything you come out with is worth viewing multiple times
I really appreciate your presentation of what you see in the granite ( stones). It’s such a pleasure to be presented with facts and not wild speculation, we don’t know many answers to the pyramids and may never will. I have designed and built machines over my working life, it’s been fun to see people study them on completion and come up with wild and incorrect speculation about what the purpose is. That was within weeks not thousands of years. We don’t fully understand the religious rites of the time so how can we understand the building.
Good point. We also don't understand the technology of the time, so your argument also supports the idea of a practical purpose.
@@emrysmcwryn7902 what are you talking about? we understand the technology of that time...unless you're one of those who believe in ancient lasers and alien builders nonesense...
@@emrysmcwryn7902 No it doesn't. You need evidence that positively supports an alternative use of the pyramids. Poking a few holes in any established conclusions and pointing out lack of evidence regarding some pyramids doesn't give you that.
I'd also argue that not fully understanding the methods of the builders is not the same as not understanding the technology, which we do.
Truly amazing work as always. Had to crack open a bottle of my finest bourbon for this video :)
Always a pleasure to see you’re enjoying the work.
Beer here! I'm on #2 in my Saturday off. Trying to get motivated to do some laundry but nope, I'll watch this instead. Lol
This is the biggest crock of bullshit I’ve ever heard. The Egyptians, a.k.a Kemetites were Black people that built every pyramid obelisk and Temple On this planet. Get over yourselves.
At Gisa, some of the stone floor have cracks between massive stones. You can just keep pouring sand in them... it never fills up. On the other hand, ground penetrating radar scans, taken in several areas of Egypt reveals symmetrical structures (yes, also pyramids) still buried under the sand. Zahi Hawas has notably put a lid on anything that is new, and not censured by himself. Ben (unchartedX youtube channel) has also uncovered the existence of a palace under their feet while in Egypt. Why are there so many smart, interested individuals like yourself, barred from a full and rapid scientific exploration of a civilization(s) that spanned across antediluvian builders to Cleopatra? Science is a body of knowledge that is acquired in the pursuit of truth. Some people in authority are acting against science. Thank you for the excellent research you did! Cheers!
*Hawas has an ego bigger than the great pyramid.* He has done more to hold history back from the truth than the people slowly moving it forward with an open mind. As Max Planck famously said: _”Science progresses one funeral at a time.”_
There are many wonderful things awaiting to be discovered once he passes. This channel is a blessing against his dogma, propaganda, and closed mind / insecurity.
There is an agenda! HIS-STORY would have to be rewriting if anyone asks logical questions. Critical thinking isn't a Mandela effect
@@MichaelPohoreski You are so right Kind Sir. After the advent of Islam in the 7th Century, every single government and society there, has simply tried to hide the truth or schemed to fool the Scientific Community and the people as a whole. Zahi Hawass can be no different, after all he comes from the same powers that rule Egypt today. He has been in control for quite a long time being a minister for Antiquities Affair. He is no different from that Frank Monnier who notwithstanding his abilities, at best is a simply an Armchair Archeologist. Sadly these are the very people that simply kill the curiosity and interest of the people in history and archeology .
@@MichaelPohoreski I wonder how many unknown objects Hawas have in his private collection. Everytime something "new" was find it took years for Hawas to "investigate". That guy have probably robbed Egypt and the world over and over for decades.
@@MichaelPohoreskiI wish you were right, but you are mistaken. Hawas's death will do nothing. All people in Egypt are religious most are Muslim some Christian. All fear the finding of something that could rock either faith. Hawas's replacement will take the same stance. Every bit of knowledge we get is in defiance of theologie. They are gatekeepers. Egyptians would all gladly sacrifice their heritage for their religion. I firmly believe they would rather tear down the pyramids than let humanity find out who built the great pyramid.
Well done, the experts have certainly been taking history for granted.
For granite?
Finally! Awesome discoveries. Thank you for presenting real facts that are conveniently ignored by lazy archeologists and pseudo scholars. The ancients would not have continued with this pyramid if it had been an error. The amount of resource would not have been wasted. All of it was intentional.
Watch a couple of videos, congratulations on the excellent content, the quality really stands out. The information we can find out here is priceless. subscribed!
Great content. Accessible pyramids is something I theorized about too. The entrances were predictably placed and it was certainly not a secret. Even if we look at famous mausoleums from the modern era, they are built in such way that they can accommodate visitors though not all areas are accessible to the public.
Clear, concise and logical. Everything that Egyptology is not. Great investigation as usual.
A breath of fresh air to an age-old problem, this presentation was enjoyable and riveting .
So I'm 17 and plan on studying archeologie after highschool. Also IDK if I'm the only one who feels this way but it absolutely disgusts me when archeologists force an assumption they've made about a clue as actually being that way when their isn't any solid evidence. I mean like don't say it's actually that way when ya don't know and state that it's only a possibility and explain for what possibility you think it might be a possibility you know, which is why I like this channel so much, anyway I'd like to hear some of your opinions on this if you don't mind.
When an author has little to add to a topic (such as Monnier's paper) they are tempted to make stronger assertions to make it seem like new research has occurred. But it was really just the same story as before, 'without doubt'. A legit peer-review process would never have let such an assertion pass through.
The pyramids are ancient blast furnaces. Nothing more.
I watch all your videos to the end good sir - I also want to thank you for literally raising the bar once again and in doing so, the onus is truly on Egyptology to follow suit or be recognized as a road block (pun absolutely intended)
😂
I love this channel, keep up the great and important work that you do for all us who can’t get out to see it ourselves!
The big secret of the Bent Pyramid, is that the bent top is a copy of the Red Pyramid, on a 10 to 5.5 ratio.
The Red pyramid is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in cubits (x10).
The top of Bent is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in rods.
(The Egyptian rod is 5.5 cubits - the same as the Imperial rod is 5.5 yards.)
So the Bent Pyramid was designed and planned to have the bend on top.
This was not a mistake, or subsidence.

I think the chimney was built as a diversion. Burial chamber robbers were common and a well-known factor, all along. The builders intentionally made a diversion (difficult to maneuver) - in order to take-up robbers' time and hopefully leave them tired and frustrated - and opt to leave the site. Also, they had to use burning torches, and carbon monoxide would likely build up and badly effect the robbers - perhaps they'd get dizzy and fall down - to their peril.
Given how the "portcullis stones" attracted so much attention, that is possible.
The chimney had a purpose, whatever it was, and wasn't a failure.
I’m now officially a fan of your channel. This information was so mind-blowing. So impressive the lengths and depths of your investigation and efforts! Appreciate your work and efforts! Thank you! 🙏 ❤
I just found it. And it is amazing. Do you have any other Chanels like this one.
Thanks for not mentioning UFO’s or Anunnaki’s at all . As soon as that stuff is brought up ,I tune out .
Excellent work .
Great observations on the bent pyramid. It is a shame that Egyptian enthusiasts may be blindly dismissed by degreed subject matter experts with published papers that pass peer review. Large scale collaboration and a willingness to listen to evidence and consider it to help hone historical truth should be the goal of all archaeologists. Another great video and thanks for sharing
The passion for history and calm, measured analysis on this channel is educational and entertaining to be sure, but for me the best part is always the barely contained mockery of dogmatic idiocy.
Never stop being you, sir.

This is one of the best pyramid videos I’ve seen - pictures, comparisons, theories, stuff we actually know…. That’s all we got. To go or say more is spreading untruths and ideas as facts. It’s ok that we don’t know-there’s a lot about a lot we don’t know. We could possibly be a young civilization compared to what might have already been here several times before. Patience and open mindedness will eventually be the key to understanding everything
If the Great Pyramid was built using an internal ramp, as some evidence supports, this internal ramp could be a separate access to whatever might lie within the Great Void. These would be two independent sets of chambers, with the one we have not yet accessed being the higher one. Maybe -- *just* maybe -- Khufu's mummy is as yet undisturbed.
Can’t wait for that comprehensive muon scan!
>Implying there ever was a mummy. Yeah right. The great void is obviously just another pulley ramp construction like the "grand gallery" below it. This "tombs" narrative is really silly, you guys. Some of these things were just monuments.
Given that the old dynasties didn't decorate the chambers, perhaps through some form of spiritual modesty, imagine if the big void is just a granite box, and Khufu's skeleton.
I have to think about the effort that looters made to climb up and attack that upper block and only giving up having destroyed most of it. Of course it's impossible to know how many looting expeditions were made over time. The first robbery may have been easy and fruitful and the many other attempts later on destructively explored around finding nothing or could it be that the first looters didn't find what they wanted where it would be expected and explored every possibility?
I think for pyramids, the first looting pass made the overwhelming majority of damage. If it’s already been plundered, there’s not much incentive to try that much harder to find things.
If the pyramids have been looted what things would have been in them to take? I can't imagine anyone going to all that effort to steal a skeleton
@@HistoryforGRANITE I can't help but think that. The first looters always seemed to know where to go almost exactly. The connecting corridor by the builders or the looters?
@@HistoryforGRANITE I disagree.
To me, the looter that just destroy the walls in search of treasure are latter thieves, drawn in by the myths and legends of the pyramids, when there was already nothing left. Even if you think there is still treasure left, if you already got some easy to get treasure, you will not spend days chiseling inside a cave in full darkness to get just a bit more, you will sell what you have and live the life of luxury.
But if all the easy to get treasure is already gone, then you chisel to get the scraps.
I had the same thought. I would love to see a modern day movie or a series about ancient looters. WIth al of it risk vs reward. Or about the construction of a pyramid itself. I think those backdrops could provide for some really interesting stories.
Thank you also for your articulate and precise narration, void of distracting and irrelevant soundtrack.
I know how you did it. A hydrogen balloon with a small, lightweight camera, held by a rope. Helium is more likely, obtaining Hydrogen in Egypt without attracting attention could probably be only done by building an electrolysis chamber in your hotel room.😂 However, Helium for party balloons should be easily accessible. Twist the rope a little, let go, twist, let go until you get a decent quality video footage of the circumference of the "Chimney". There is a product out there that is meant to be used in places where drones are prohibited: it's an expandable pole with a rotating camera on top. The software edits the pole out of the video to give you drone-like feel. However it's still not long enough to reach all the way up. So, what other way is there except a balloon and a tiny camera?
I think it makes sense that the change in angle is evidence of a change in plans, possibly because they saw structural problems perhaps not in the bent pyramid under construction itself but maybe the collapse of the Meidum pyramid made them reconsider the steep angle. But I don't understand why that should be seen as a failure; after all they finished it and it still stands today which is pretty successful in my opinion. It still looks impressive even with a bend, it's nowhere near as awkward looking as the leaning tower of Pisa, which is even more successful as a tourist attraction because of this flaw. It would not surprise me at all if the ancient Egyptians found a way to "spin" the bend as something impressive rather than a failure. And after all we belive that the bent pyramid was the first pyramid at that scale so no matter how it had been shaped it would still be impressive, even after the bigger and straighter pyramids were built, the bent one was still probably known to be older which makes it impressive even though later ones were bigger and without a bend.
I don't believe the Egyptians built the pyramids or many other things in that region but i do find your work very very intersting.
Respect and keep up your great work.
I find it interesting that both of the stone's alcoves have exactly the same architecture just mirrored. The same height blocks, the same number and size of steps etc. They weren't just built into the existing layers, they were planned and deliberately designed.
I agree that they were probably fake passages. I'm not sure what conclusion you can actually draw from that but I suspect the spiritual aspect is the biggest thing. Perhaps incense was placed at the bottom and incense on the small ledge opposite to guide spirits. The chimney was functional and with fake passages it was spiritual.
I wonder how the room would react to incense being burned as there is a connecting tunnel... the heated smoke could maybe create an interesting effect within the chamber, like a updraft inside the chimney that would spit out the cooling incense smoke through which since now cold, would sink to the floor?
If the lower chamber was used for public ceremonies, with groups of people, a big danger might have been the buildup of carbon dioxide from lamps, torches, and other sources that could have made breathing extremely difficult. The chimney might have been a functional way to create a forced draft of hot air to help draw in a constant flow of fresh air down the entrance passage. Perhaps the Egyptians were aware of these issues from enclosed underground spaces and were trying to create solutions. A CO2 detector and a small smoke generator might reveal some interesting patterns.
Why would you place a massive barrier to a spiritual passage?
@@gavinjenkins899 do you mean a massive 'physical' barrier?
@@Spedley_2142 yes just like the PHYSICAL actual passageways... if nothing need be physical, then just have nothing at all.
I personally think it’s meant to be this way. Maybe, they just build it this way for it to look different than the rest.
Make some sort of “statement”.
just saying…🤷♂️
And no one should ever believe what that thieve, liar Hawass has to say about any pyramid.
Your videos are as close as I’ll ever get on seeing these marvelous structures
“up close”.
Thank you for your outstanding work as always..👌👏👏
I’ve rewatched many of your videos ten times. Such great work. Thank you for your content.
Would love to see you do an analysis of Matt's (Ancient Architects) theory of the King's Chamber, where he points out that there is a block in the wall which is not load bearing, and would allow the "sarcophagus" to be pushed through if it was removed. In fact, the box is perfectly aligned with the non-load bearing block in the adjacent wall. It would explain how the box got into the chamber, as it's too large to fit in the known entrances. What this would mean though, is that there are yet-unexplored passages within the Great Pyramid, and likely even a yet to be discovered entrance. I personally think that this theory makes a lot of sense, and deserves real investigation.
old old news.
Second. But i saved to "watch later" so i can see right before bed lol
All of your content is amazing, and you've outdone yourself on this video. Thank you!
THE PYRAMID KING NEVER DISAPPOINTS
Thank you thank you thank you!
The capstone to inner chamber vent-tunnel could have contained a series of mirrors/polished silver that could reflect sunlight (or even light from a full moon) into being directed into the inner chambers. You have to remember that fire/torchlight burn up oxygen and give off exhaust with its various toxic gases and smoke. The engineers probably wanted to keep smoke from staining the mural art and they knew that they had to find an alternative to torchlight for the artists who had to work on the finishing touches and for a permanent light source for future reverance and showcasing or upkeep of the inner chambers. The mirrors/polished silver disks would have been dislodged from the vent and stolen by thieves over time.
well thought
polished copper reflects 75% of light. Egyptians had that in abundance.
@@fvckingtestyeah but if you didnt polish the copper once a while in a little time it will be oxidate
Dry humour, dry delivery, hot subject.
Thanks; really great work!
BTW: I'm pear reviewed, too! ;)
Thank you for this. The Bent Pyramid is my favourite Pyramid of them all. I recently made a shorts video about my visit there too. It's nothing like your amazing, well-educated videos - but it's the tourist's view of the Bent Pyramid. If you are curious, here it is: ruclips.net/user/shortsZvCgrJN4V1s
What a great little video! It's amazing what a leg-workout getting in and out of the pyramid is. None of the other pyramids really prepare you for how much energy it takes.
@@HistoryforGRANITE Indeed. In the Red Pyramid I scratched my back pretty bad on one of the lower hanging stones. 😀
Wonderful ideas as always ! But please refrain from this beef with other researchers! Intelligent people shouldn't throw shade at each other - let's just hear everyone's theories and good arguments about these wonderful structures! I can understand your frustration over obstacles in the way of examination, good job acquiring these images!
I promise this won't become a drama channel. He wanted his paper examined here and I granted that wish.
@@HistoryforGRANITE You've already made it that I'm afraid. Hawas for example doesn't have many fans amongst Egyptology enthusiasts, but there's far more dignity in setting aside any personal frustrations with him or his ilk and letting your work stand on its own merits.
We no longer live in the 1800's, it is RUclips and not an aristocratic chamber of knowledge. BS should always be called out in detail and not hidden behind a politicly correct "We are only here for knowledge not your opinion" mindset. Did I also mention that this is RUclips? Intelligent people should ignore critics on YT who bring nothing but exactly that to the table.
Well formulated and well delivered! Thank you for the hard work on moving real understanding forward.
Nobody was ever buried in a pyramid
