what happened is - how ancients built pyramids was common as far as technique & know-how. the issue that we refuse to address nowadays is we current humans have been so dumbed down and tricked that we honestly believe we are the most civilized and innovative people that ever existed. when i watch awe inspiring videos like this one i am always amazed by ancient structures sure, but at the same time it makes me feel lame; as i comment from my overly comfortable lifestyle.
no we surely are not the most advanced the most intelligent of civilizations. there were people so much longer back in antiquity that were far more advanced in achievement. we may never reach that point or at least 100 years or more from that time.
@an0therdimensi0n I used to believe that we in the 21st century have the advanced technology in the world but then this year I realized that I was wrong about that which the ancient times have the advanced technology than we thought we know of the ancient world of technology and etc.
What we really should focus on is not how "arrogant" we are as we look back at the accomplishments of ancient cultures because we are amazed by our own tech, though we do associate intelligence with technology, a Western fallacy, but how much humans can accomplish with relatively simple tech coupled with the drive to achieve these things motivated by their faith in their gods. Remember, all the cathedrals of Europe were accomplished by relatively simple tech coupled with desire and sweat equity. We also shouldnt insult the ancients, or ourselves, by saying, oh, well, there were aliens or some ancient 10,000 year old mysterious culture like Atlantis for which there is little convincing proof because that is the same technology loving belief which holds that accomplishment requires advanced technology. it doesnt. We should be amazed at the desire, drive and above all faith that allows humans of any age to achieve without trying to find alien tech to explain it away. Intelligence does not require computers.
Where did they get the idea? Try the (just) earlier civilisation of Sumer.The Ziggurats we’re of a similar construction technique.Ok using brick but that’s why they started with brick stones. We know they were in contact with Sumer as their emblems appear on the Narmer palette the pharaonic dynasty that came just prior to the step pyramids construction.
Hard to say for sure, He's a massive dick, but given the local political scene, I think he's done a decent job by not totally destroying everything, the Aswan Dam project was not his thing and it damaged wayyyyy more than anything else.

"The archaeologist who first explored the site" ... No comment ... From wikipedia: English archaeologist Cecil Mallaby Firth (1878-1931 CE) arrived at the site. It was Firth who, in 1924 CE, discovered the Serdab and Djoser's statue. In 1926 CE, Firth was joined on site by the French architect and Egyptologist Jean-Philippe Lauer (1902-2001 CE) who would make the major discoveries at the complex and contribute the most to modern-day understanding of pyramid construction generally and the Step Pyramid specifically.
Actually, Hawass kind of is a "bad guy." I used to be in awe of him but as time goes on you see too many reports of corruption in his office and his so called proffessional behavior. It doesnt take much time to look him up on line and see all the controversies he has been involved in and the less than excellent ways he has run his office and duties and his past actions have earned him dismissal from his positions by his own government. I went to Egypt a few years back on a bucket list 2 week trip, and the guides for my group despised him one and all. You should have heard all that the Egytians themselves had to say about how he manipulated finds and squelshed others people's discoveries for his own professional and monetary benefit. There's no doubt he is charismatic, but Hawass seems to be well known as a show-boating and corrupt kind of guy by many other Egyptians in the field. Just do some research and you will at least see why many do just wish he would go away.
So all this was built in 19 years, tunnels and superstructure. As a builder I don't think it was possible,level the ground, dig out those tunnels without proper ventilation, iron tools and lighting. Source the stone and transport it. Then build the superstructure. That doesn't include all sculptures, decoration etc. This is a fairytale!
@@lasonya22000 I think you might be on the wrong subject here, we are talking about engineering, not supposed old testament prophets. Faith may well move mountains but it sure don't build pyramids!
@@realistJB what I’m saying is that God gave them the knowledge…HE walks on water, turn water into wine, raised people from the dead, HE could have built these through miracles. Isn’t it said that the apostle Paul constructed these things, lately? Open your mind
42:43 Everybody can poke and prod as much as they want, but as long as you don’t understand the ‘what for’ you will not understand. The important things are revealed only to those with pure intentions. Maybe the pyramid was a recreation of the world in an attempt at making it endure- the banben surrounded by waters. It was a labour of love, not forced labour and not even civic duty (which was a thing), but that is incomprehensible with the current mindset. The ‘human sacrifices’ were not sacrifices at all, people would have rather died than being separated from their king. They knew about life and death- that’s why they were unafraid of death and were smitten with the sheer beauty of living.
I worked heavy construction steel and concrete for 34 years with the modern equipment that we have it would be a challenge to build a pyramid ancient Egyptian builders has always amazed me
@@UnitedfruitcoYour belief is logical & the most accurate theory. Anyone claiming that the bronze age Khemet civilization built the 3 largest pyramids in Giza or the subterranean tunnels of Saqqara are either hiding the truth or incredibly ignorant.
@@AbuBawa-sw1ut still not buying that wetting sand helps to move the sled of 30 plus ton stones. Did that help them stack them 400 feet high in perfection?
Using a dolerite mallet on granite surfaces in the quarry at Aswan, I was able to make a 2 inch impression within 5 minutes. Using sleds they were able to move blocks quite easily from the quarry surrounding the complex. The so-called mystique associated with the construction of the pyramids is a result of our underestimation of the skills of the ancients.
CarsCarsAliens. Actually the guards were amused that anyone would actually try and emulate the ancient workers and demonstrate that it was they who quarried the huge monoliths and demonstrably NOT aliens
Yet, there is no trace, in the labyrinth images, of the Siatic Passage (dug by grave robbers 3,000 years ago), or the gorgeous Seb Court beneath the burial chamber. It is as though they've been erased. Why? The Huge Seb court's walls are covered with unusual paintings (not the usual pictoglyphs), and the floors with faience tile. Something valuable had been originally stored there.
We will never know for sure as to "who" actually built many of the ancient Egyptian Pyramids. Some were built by Egyptians, but you can tell two different types of building techniques. More important, we haven't found any documentation or hieroglyphics depicting the Egyptians building pyramids. Very curious, and important.
I think the notion that Egyptians were using "copper" tools for stonework is beyond silly. Copper is a terrible compound for tools. Herodotus is the earliest writing about ancient Egypt that survived and in it he states: "Imagine the amount of Iron needed to make the tools necessary for all the workers to build pyramids". The reason archaeologists "find" copper tools because that they were the originals tools tried, but discarded and left because they simply did not work. Steel tools would have been re-smelted into something else at a later date as steel is easily "recycled" into other objects. Most likely swords. But engineers need answer this question not archaeologists. Copper simply cannot cut stone. And has not been shown to do so. And today we use special diamond tipped steel blades. Because little else works. Should we think the Egyptians less capable to do the same? The Pyramids say otherwise.
@@realistJB In fact they did use copper tools for some of the stone work, and no, they didnt last long. I understand there are records of the vast amounts of copper they needed to do the refining work on stone because it didnt last long. But remember, most of the pyramids and temples were made of limestone, and in fact many of the tools used to shape the limestone was much harder stone, usually diorite, that was used as hammers to do the work. If you go to the huge broken unfinished obelisk in the quarry at Aswan those diorite hammers are still sitting all round it. When are people going to understand that you dont need advanced tech to do what the Egyptians did? Intelligence does not require computers. And before anyone brings up Herodotus to support any argument they should look up why he is called the "father of lies." He basically just regurgitates stuff that he heard second and third hand. His importance lies in the fact that his writings survived and earlier writings did not.
Pause @5:33 and we see a close-up of the step-pyramid's casing stones. You can clearly differentiate between the two different coloured stones, one being much lighter than the other and appearing less weathered. I am not convinced that the structure is the accumulation of men moving thousands of tonnes of incredibly heavy materials across a terrain made of sand. The practical limitations of lifting and transporting in this kind of environment can't be ignored. I personally interpret this site as a natural structure which since discovery has undergone extensive reconstruction work to present itself like 'this'.
So sorry Samthe Irishexan, if you read extensively, you will discover that the Egyptians used sand and copper and in some instances additional strengthening chemicals to cut through anything they wanted. Contrary to your belief, iron was available through exchange throughout the late Bronze Age and may in fact have lead to its decline as weaponry development by cultures coming from the area around the Caspian Sea-left the key civilisations eg Mycenaean, Hitites etc copper using civilisation ( do the reading) behind and thus their demise. End of information and communication stream.
@@OVTraveller Maybe you should do a bit more research as well. Iron was not really available as a resource until after the Hyksos invasion and period of rule before the rise of the New Kingdom, except for the occasional use of meteoritic iron such as the dagger blade for a knife found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Love how people like you think a comment like "Nuff said" and the like will magically cut off other people's replies to your know it all attitude. The fact is, they DIDNT have iron as a common resource. Like it or not.
The Djoser pyramid was called sherab, cold water. This shows that water from 1 of the7 Nile branches connected this pyramid with a channel .Why were all the pyramids connected with water? Only for construction?
Probably mainly for construction, as it enabled them to get the vast amounts of stone as close to the building site as possible. I would imagine there was also religious implications as well, seeing how important water is in a desert kingdom and the Nile in particular was to their culture and religion as well.
It's a shame that Zahi Howass is a part of this documentary. His appearance is an inherently omen that tells you that it is the mainstream narrative And nothing more. There will only be one perspective provided And Zahi Has a tendency to speak as though he is the ultimate authority. Which He may be when it comes to the academically. Accepted narrative Of Egyptian history. But we've come to find out that there is so much more. This man discredits anything he is in.
He's worked in the field and with the material culture his entire life, and with the top researchers from around the world. These years of intense research I would say trumps the opinion of some overweight Australian guy sitting in his bedroom broadcasting on u tube.
@@PRH123 good comment its funny how these uneducated numbties who blindly follow the herd know absolutely nothing about Hawass or ancient egypt and as you say another corpulent dumbass spouting pure BS as fact
that is his "real" name. Pharaohs had more than one name. Djoser is the name that most people know him by, so its not "wrong" to use it. Calm down, get a grip and find something more significant to break into a sweat about lol.
Whether they knew about iron or not in ancient construction using iron for worships was forbidden Man always wanted to be Godlike so no iron And in ancient construction till 20th century, building materials was always sourced locally nearby to site Why constructed? Along with the opinion of afterlife one needs to big tombstone so that people would know this is the graveyard of a King Civilization ended in Egypt, we cannot find graveyards of ordinary people except the king Man's psychology hasn't changed since time build big for a bigger name. It's just a thought that the higher your death place the easier you would reach heavens
Let me solve the mystery for you, this is not a tomb but is the place that Joseph built in Genesis for the 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine. Thats why their are shafts with grain in them and all the shafts kead to the center shaft. These documentaries make these people seem so stupid, the people who built this place knew what they were doing, do not mistake their intent.
It’s too bad the local people had zero respect for their own history and instead of mining their own stones from quarries they robbed them from the pyramids. Think of what an awesome sight this pyramid and the great pyramid of Giza would be if they still had their casing stones.
Very impresive findings. Much more complexe that and it makes you wonder why so many tunel. Now, let's go to the sphinx and lazer the h*ll out of the entire thing🤭
when zahi speaks i truly know he is one of those aggressive people with a small authority feeling he is GOD RULER EMPEROR - despite the fact many new discoveries that reveals the pyramids and othrr artifacts are older and needs more study and research -
To think that Djoser predates Cheops is incredibly insane & laughable. To believe a bronze age civilization was capable of building Cheops is equally insane.
Bronze and even stone age peoples DID in fact construct fantastic buildings all over the world, without the wheel and with nothing else than sweat and determination. The only thing insane and laughable is your statement, since you make no attempt to attach expert opinion to it to support it.
@@garydixon-ug6dk you don't need to be an expert to understand the tools available to Dynastic Egyptians aren't sufficient to construct Cheops. Not to mention Khufu recorded the restoration of these monuments. Yet Egyptologists are clinging to their theory that Khufu's son ordered them to be built without any proof to back that up.
This video smoke and mirrors in the form of yakity yak and suggestive images. They should show us the exact images from their fancy testing and not suggestive computer images .
How do you not get thousands of people out there to removes the sand? they have to be making bank on all the tourist crap. I do not understand why the sites are all still covered in sand and not turned into a world humanity park of some kind. this is so fascinating .
Very smart devious people convinced those to build something that was useless just how politicians do today. How many died during this construction we can only imagine.
I think you have watched too many 1950s Hollywood "Eqyptian movies". Recent discoveries have shown that the pyramids were not built by slaves and that they were well fed and well paid, with goods since there was no coinage, for their time. Im sure many people did die, but their remains show that they were also granted the best medical treatment available at the time. The pyramids were no more "useless" than any other church or religious building that we build today. Leaving atheists aside from the moment, as they would probably find any faith-based activity foolish, these people seemed to be hired during the months of the annual floods when their farms would be under water. Why dont people ask these same questions about the European cathedrals, huge monuments to the current faith in God that those people had? How many people died building those? And they were okay with that because they were building something for their god, like the Egyptians were. We need to stop judging ancient peoples with our modern agnosticism, they had different priorities than modern Western people do.
These Ancient engineers had machines and tools not yet found to cut move and polish stone needed to construct such works Modern Archiologist wont addmit would have been needed to accomplish such buildings Their gods were alien beings ruling over humans bred to serve such creatures that ruled man,s destiny and kept us for construction projects and resource deveopment for harvesting societies needs
Hello 👋 Where does it say - in the hieroglyphs - that the pyramids were built by the Egyptians? Also, all graves have been found in the Valley of the Kings - not one in the pyramids.
41:40 Some say, ‘As above, so below’. Maybe it was the other way around. A then faint memory of a system of underground caves where some things had happened. What do you think inspired those who stole from Ancient Egypt to make Jesus descend to the Underworld and rise like the soul of the Egyptian king?

@@garydixon-ug6dk you don't need to be an expert to understand the tools available to Dynastic Egyptians aren't sufficient to construct Cheops. Not to mention Khufu recorded the restoration of these monuments. Yet Egyptologists are clinging to their theory that Khufu's son ordered them to be built without any proof to back that up.
@@user-ue5yw6zb9k good grief you have no idea
Kemet built the most impressive monuments the Egyptians later claimed them for themselves.
This video smoke and mirrors in the form of yakity yak and suggestive images. They should show us the exact images from their fancy testing and not suggestive computer images .
How do you not get thousands of people out there to removes the sand? they have to be making bank on all the tourist crap. I do not understand why the sites are all still covered in sand and not turned into a world humanity park of some kind. this is so fascinating .
Had some potential till Hawass showed up.
clueless much?
Cut stone...
Very smart devious people convinced those to build something that was useless just how politicians do today.
How many died during this construction we can only imagine.
I think you have watched too many 1950s Hollywood "Eqyptian movies". Recent discoveries have shown that the pyramids were not built by slaves and that they were well fed and well paid, with goods since there was no coinage, for their time. Im sure many people did die, but their remains show that they were also granted the best medical treatment available at the time. The pyramids were no more "useless" than any other church or religious building that we build today. Leaving atheists aside from the moment, as they would probably find any faith-based activity foolish, these people seemed to be hired during the months of the annual floods when their farms would be under water. Why dont people ask these same questions about the European cathedrals, huge monuments to the current faith in God that those people had? How many people died building those? And they were okay with that because they were building something for their god, like the Egyptians were. We need to stop judging ancient peoples with our modern agnosticism, they had different priorities than modern Western people do.
These Ancient engineers had machines and tools not yet found to cut move and polish stone needed to construct such works
Modern Archiologist wont addmit would have been needed to accomplish such buildings
Their gods were alien beings ruling over humans bred to serve such creatures that ruled man,s destiny and kept us for construction projects and resource deveopment for harvesting societies needs
Hello 👋
Where does it say - in the hieroglyphs - that the pyramids were built by the Egyptians? Also, all graves have been found in the Valley of the Kings - not one in the pyramids.
I know why they cannot solve this, if they read the Bible, they would know that God spiritually helped them during this time with physical things….
41:40 Some say, ‘As above, so below’. Maybe it was the other way around.
A then faint memory of a system of underground caves where some things had happened. What do you think inspired those who stole from Ancient Egypt to make Jesus descend to the Underworld and rise like the soul of the Egyptian king?
36:35 Why do you want to know? What for?
37:34 Djoser’s wife’s?
