    I planned on visiting the pyramids one day before I die. As a history teacher, I taught my 11-year-old students about ancient Egypt. Every year a new class. Then, when I retired I fell ill and now I am bedridden in Spain with any possibility of visiting Egypt out of the question. What a privilege it was to teach what we think we know about the pyramids even though I could never see them for myself. My comment here is like the graffiti left behind by those who got to Egypt and have passed on having left behind a few scratches while the pyramids remain forever.

    This is the second time Ive had the extreme pleasure of watching (and studying) this video and its contents. It's a terrific piece of vital information for the continuing effort to pursue the completion our knowledge of Egyptology.
    Now, I can really appreciate why Zahi Hawass is so pissed off. To paraphrase: " Some French guy comes here knowing nothing, and makes a theory of the Pyramid. And the "Scan" programs were there simply to support his (amateur) theory." Well Dr. Hawass, J.P. Houdin isn't exactly an idiot. He's an architect, working closely with highly qualified engineers. These people are not fools. Of course he's pissed off, because it's been staring him in the face all his life and, "someone" comes along with fresh eyes and sees what he'd missed all this time. The recent "follow up" video from the "History for Granite" channel is superb. It has also some points of contention with Houdin's theory of the internal ramp but, it is firmly in Houdin's s corner. The bureaucracy of the Egyptian Antiquities Dept. is a real nightmare as long as Zahi Hawass sits on the board. And, the "hoops" Hawass has put up, for all to jump thru, for any further investigation of the internal structural configuration of the monument, are deliberately designed to fail. Houdin is clearly Sherlock Holms to Zahi Hawass' Dr. Moriarity! And , Hawass doesn't like being told, "It's elementary old boy!".

      Have you looked into the tomb of the birds? There's possibly a huge system of caves under the giza plateau that's not been explored. Andrew Collins rediscovered this cave system and returned at one point for a another visit to find hawass and Co had gated the entrance. As you say, he doesn't want others to make these discoveries. It's potentially the biggest unexplored system in that area and seems to extend under the pyramids according to one scan they have done. Even the new corridor they found under the chevron area is dumb. After all these years, no drilling or anything invasive, turns out you just had to push an endoscope inside.

    When you realize that Bob Brier is a super star Egyptologist while Houdin was nobody in the field and you see how considerate and helpful Bob Brier is with Houdin, it's very heartwarmimg and gives a lot of hope for the future of this research! We need more people like Bob. Besides, Houdin has brought a lot of great ideas. We still don't know for sure how the pyramid but at least Houdin's ideas are realistic.
    On my end, my main question is Why did they build the King's chamber so high? Khafre's pyramid's chamber was built underground and that makes sense because this way you don't have to move those massive granite stones 43 meters high, you simply place them on ground level. Khufu's pyramid has an underground chamber like this, but it's unfinished. Why? Did the project get rescoped?
    Did the king want to be buried INSIDE the pyramid? Seems like that one project constraint that gives you 20% quality but requires 80% of the budget.

      It was calculated to be as high as the top of the pyramid would end up being so that when they pulled the outer blocks up through the gallery they would be able to reach the top. As the outside progressed the interior would as well. When they were done at the top, they took all material they used to build out with them on the way down n out. It was there to go up would be the only way back down to the underground where it all started from. There is One main tunnel going underground to access all corridors of the pyramid upward. Again they built up and deconstructed on the way down and out.

      maybe because it was never a part of their culture? They were there at the beginning of their culture and at the end. And all the really old paintings and carvings are destroyed, changed or erroted. It is fact, that the cultures after them changed the history in stone for their benefits and glory. Just look at the bumbling carvings of hyroglyphs on perfect sarcophagus made out of very hard stone. The really old carvings are already destroyed like the pillar with the myth about Atlantis or the old capital city memphis with its tablets of wisdom teaching. Just a minimal amount of the old tradition has survived, but massively changed in greek mythologie and within some cultures of africa, especially in ethopia.

    The grand gallery was so obviously built as the ramp to raise the largest blocks since they are all stacked at its apex. And it has features within that can only be explained as accommodating the equipment and wooden rails the blocks would have been ratcheted up by. They would have built the pyramid up to the level of the king’s chamber floor, then used the grand gallery to winch the large granite stones up to that level… and from there they would have been able to build shorter ramps to lift the massive gable stones up to the top of the chamber as they built the walls of the king’s chamber after all the big stones had been raised to that level. There is almost certainly a second grand gallery above the known one for that lift, although not being needed for the burial, it was likely filled in. When Brier expresses amazement that they would have built this huge and impressive space “just to lift the stones” he reveals his ignorance. Moving the 60 ton stones was the single biggest challenge for the entire structure. The vast bulk of the pyramid is made of stones around 2 tons which are simply not that hard to move. But those massive stones took some serious planning and even more impressive work. The features in the gallery are all mechanical in nature. The notches in the two rails I don’t think were to affix wooden rails. I think they served the purpose of ratcheting brakes. They would rig to lift and pull the stone up just to the next pair of notches, and the wooden pawl would drop into the notch and prevent the load from backsliding. Then they would re-rig for the next pull. Moreover, I think the grand gallery would have been used as the primary ramp for much of the construction up to the kings chamber floor. If their winch could haul 60 tons up a 50% grade, then it could haul 30 two ton stones up at a time. Or 10 at a time at a faster clip.

      They weren't working to a budget, or only there for the pay. If modern humans ever really wanted a bit stone pyramid, we'd build one that put the ancient ones to shame in every way. But in reality, if some random rich guy tried to have one built in the modern world, there would be red tape, health and safety issues, pay disputes, and every worker questioning why anyone would even want a big stone triangle.

      The angle of each block doesn't have to be precise. As long as each one is cut to the same reference, it doesn't matter. One can be out a few mm one way, the next one a few mm another way, but when you have thousands, the errors all average out. Plus, the final finishing was almost certainly done with the blocks already in place. Very little math is needed. All you need is a way to place each block, in reference to a single known point, and the accuracy happens all by itself.

    This is not mine. I saw this in a documentary, but it is a point worth repeating. According to Wikipedia, the Great Pyramid contains an estimated 2,400,000 stones. For the supposed ancient texts to be correct for the Great Pyramid to be built in 20 Years, that means each stone, of an average of 2.5 to 15 tons each (including and especially the 60 ton blocks as well), had to be placed at a rate of: 2,400,000 divided by 20 years = 120,000 stones per year, OR 120,000 stones divided by 365 days = 329 stones per day OR 329 stones divided by 24 hours in a day = 14 stones per hour, OR 1 stone needs to be perfectly cut and fitted in place every 5 minutes - all day, every day, for 20 years straight. That's NOT possible.

    • @spatrk6634
      @spatrk6634 Год назад

      The estimate of 20 years for the construction of the Great Pyramid is based on certain assumptions, and it is possible that the actual construction time may have been longer or shorter than that. It is also important to note that the pyramid was not built continuously for 20 years, but rather at certain periods during the year when the Nile floodwaters receded and agricultural work was not possible.
      Therefore, while it may seem unlikely that the Great Pyramid was constructed at the rate of 1 stone every 5 minutes, it is important to keep in mind that the actual methods and timeline of its construction are still shrouded in mystery, and new discoveries and research may shed light on this topic in the future.

      Wood was scarce in Egypt so they reused it over and over, so an old carbon date doesn't prove age of the pyramids. It just means they used old wood for stuff. The charcoal found in the mortar has carbon dates much more recent, especially the second survey that Lehner did. A little older than conventional dates for the Giza pyramids, but only by a couple centuries for the oldest pieces, not a thousand years like you suggest and probably well within measurement error.

However that may be the highest parts of it were finished first, and afterwards they proceeded to finish that which came next to them, and lastly they finished the parts of it near the ground and the lowest ranges. …”

Surely one would have to put as much energy in it, as pulling it down, but of course minus the energy that gravity pulls the counterweight down. So just having the counterweight pulling something down, gives one another problem: the weight is then stuck at the lowest point in the grand gallery….
      And also: as I understand the corbelled walls of the grand gallery can withstand massive weights from above, but not weights from “along its axis”, is that right? So would it not be a huuuge risk to have the counterweight-rope(s) being ripped and sending the whole counterweight rushing down the grand gallery?

      In fact, the best thing for an archeologist is to find anomalies. That's how they get famous, and how science progresses.
      You really know nothing about archeology or how science, or scientists work, do you?
      Why are you here spouting such nonsense? You are implying archeologists are religious in some way. And that there is some secret ancient archeological doctrine they must adhere to, which is decided by some mysterious "they" somewhere?
      Look, science does not work the way you think it does. Theories are very specific things, which must explain all the evidence, and various theories compete with each other over time. But a theory is not an idea. It's not a concept, or even a hypothesis; it is a fully documented, thoroughly researched and reviewed explanation of the simplest possible nature.
      If you are not an trained and employed archeologist then it's literally impossible for you to have a theory on the subject. For a theory must get by peer review to even get published, let alone accepted. The people you listen to are nothing but conmen who use debunked garbage to convince gullible people like you to accept pseudoscientific nonsense.
      You are merely parroting the garbage sold by crooked and greedy peddlers of books, DVDs and $6,000 tours of Giza.
      Next time you see information about something ancient, ask yourself this, "What government institution, university, technical institute, research corporation, or national body is sponsoring this research?" If the answer is "none" then what you are watching is garbage, plain and simple.
      If the answer is "several" then what you are looking at is highly likely to be true.

      If you believe your statement to be true, that those with status and wealth are hiding the truth, how do you know a truthful statement without being wealthy yourself? How can you be sure you know the truth if the wealthy are hiding it? if you say the wealthy are hiding the truth and this is true, then you must be wealthy yourself, otherwise the truth would've been concealed from you by the wealthy. But if you're wealthy, you must be hiding the truth, so your claim that the wealthy are hiding the truth is in fact a falsehood.
      But similarly, If you aren't wealthy, you couldn't possibly know the truth, since the wealthy have naturally hidden it from you, You are not capable of perceiving the difference between truth and falsehood at all, so your claim is again false.
      Conclusion: Some people are under the delusion that the wealthy elites are the only ones with access to the truth, which they have the power to hide from everyone else including those who claim this situations exists. The logic of their claims proves they are suffering from a neurotic delusion concerning reality which they indirectly admit renders their assertions to be patently absurd and irrelevant, yet which they continue to assert..

    Very interesting video. However, if you do the calculations, they had to move over 3,000 blocks per day. Even if they worked around the clock, with different worker shifts, that would be 125 per hour. To me, that means that they likely had multiple methods. We now know that even a single person can lift a block that weights 20 tons using simple leverage tools like simply a few weights that a single person could carry from one end of the block to the other and a central set of wooden beams, where they insert additional beams as the block teeter totters from side to side. With this method, they could have many small crews, perhaps only three or four people each, all around the pyramid lifting blocks from one level to the next. This method would require the casing blocks to be installed last, but if they could carefully place the casing stones to be perfectly aligned, then they could have placed the stones directly underneath them perfectly aligned as well. In fact, even in this video they describe that the stones directly behind the casing stones were perfectly aligned and cut with greater precision that the stones in the inner layers. This gives evidence that the layer just inside the casing stones was of great significance.

      Sitchin was wrong. Even Graham Hancock had to admit that.
      "Cracks in some of the joints reveal hieroglyphs set far back into the masonry. No 'forger' could possibly have reached in there after the blocks had been set in place - blocks, I should add, that weigh tens of tons each and that are immovably interlinked with one another. The only reasonable conclusion is the one which orthodox Egyptologists have already long held - namely that the hieroglyphs are genuine Old Kingdom graffiti and that they were daubed on the blocks before construction began."
      Sitchin was pushing his own Annunaki nonsense and the evidence the pyramid was built for Khufu contradicts that.

      Look here. ruclips.net/video/Fe2c-xbXmi4/видео.html, new finding amongs experts. The scientific test on the rocks seems to show that rocks from the first Pyramid (saqarra) were the result of casting of geo materials, they call it geopolymer process. X-ray test showing the rocks contains bubble and the lower density at the upper part of the rock compared to that of the bottom, seem to be valid evidence that rock were casted from materials as commonly found in rock, such as silica. Thats why , as expert said, that man-made rock' seem like and indeed as strong as natural rock.If that theory is accepted amongst expert with further experiment/test,, then you are very reasonable to say the solution must have been different, that what the worker brought up were not rocks, instead it was geopolymer-dough (transported using basket) , look similiar when we see builder pouring concrete to make pillar when building a house. In addition, please notify that up-until now, expert found no gap among stacked stones, no abundant chip of rocks as waste from carving the rocks, no machine and tools (relating to cutting big rock and carving the block) found around the site ,these also indicate that the block of stones were not resulted from cutting and carving stone block.. With the theory of geopolymer, no more question about how and how many labor to brought-up a solid rock weighing tens of tons, and how they smoothly carved 'stones'. However the question about the geometric structure and how to arrange those 'man-made' rock still remain.
      Now how about other pyramids like Kufu, were they allegedly built through the same process as explained by theory above? I have no idea

This rock is a sandy limestone, or if, you like, a limy sandstone. If this rock had been processed as claimed, the fossils would have been destroyed.​ The other casing stone which has mostly been robbed, was a finer grade limestone from the Tura or Tora quarry just across the river and a little to the south.
