In light of this comment, I chuckled a bit when you used both elevator and lift in the same sentence around 6:00. 😂 I can imagine the challenge of changing words when the one you’re most used to saying rolls off the tongue so easily.
Its never being a tombe or build by kufu who still believes that or that the great pyramid is only 4000 years old is really dumb it's way older and looks like a machine.
I really like this theory. It seems far fetched at first but honestly its very rational and possible especially compared to other pyramid theories. And it ticks all the boxes explaining all the weird anomalies as well! Almost like it’s what Sherlock Holmes would deduce if he walked into the King’s Chamber.
The idea reminds me of the finale of "Land of the Pharaohs"; the film with Jack Hawkins and Joan Collins. Lowering heavy blocks of stone via released sand and free running channels. Fascinating.
yeah but a lot of the huge blocks both underground and in the air are not in positions where such a process would be feasible its like the _megalithic blocks lifted by hundreds of people_ deal - often as in the precipitous cliffs of machu pichu or the huge thousand tonne blocks of baalbek themselves.. there physically is not enough room for that many people
Did you by any chance watch a video of some British archeologist who read the Enki book and made the ark in India? Well after seeing this video I came to the conclusion most of what we see about Vimanas are actually these boats but built a bit differently. This old British guy spoke at some conference in London and was featured in the news. Also I wanted to let you know you produce high quality content and if you have the time or means, please try and do interviews with some of these professors or people in the field to get as much information about their work and findings before they retire or pass away. Thanks man for what you do, it is greatly appreciated by us all!
In the 1955 movie, Land of the Pharaohs, the tomb is sealed using a mechanism which releases sand and lowers the blocks into place. This idea is not new.
I love going back and watching your old videos. None of them come with pre-made answers and are worth going over and over again. The "lift" theory is perhaps the most interesting idea I've come across about the Great Pyramid that none of the other channels seem to talk about.
Dear A2, Thank you for another interesting hypothesis about The Great Pyramid, Khufu, and now an elevator. Whatever anyone says we have to first let our eyes tell us what’s going on. There is no logical explanation of how granite could be cut and moved and positioned like it is in the pyramid. We know the tools they had and nothing in their toolbox could come close to what we see. Don’t forget, the sarcophagus was first put in place as a solid block of stone and then the chamber was built around it. It took a 2 ton pressure drill to hollow out the sarcophagus. They have found the tool marks. We are talking about drills that make anything in our day look like toys. Khufu might well have been put in the pyramid but odds are he is in a tomb that has yet to be discovered. But you keep bringing interesting information. Will we every know what The Great Pyramid is all about? Thanks to you and your tireless work we are getting some new insights into this old puzzle. Pyramid power! Lastly, Herodotus cannot be discounted. What I think he saw were workers either taking off the outer layer or patching the pyramid up. But he said things that make it impossible not to ponder on.
I see this misnomer all the time. We do have tools and the knowledge to build every part of the pyramid. It’s just we don’t because we don’t have free labor.
Oh my... nobody knows about the forgery written in red paint inside the kings chamber by British archeologist/ Egyptologist Howard Vyse , even Khufu/ cheops wrote himself " I paid homage to the great pyramids that were here before my time " this writing is on a stone Stella found in the Berlin museum... Thoth the Atlantian built the pyramids along side his father EN.KI aka osiris using a technology that cancelled out Earths net ( gravitational force ) we are programmed from such a young age with b.s. ... start by reading the Sumerian cuneiform texts... Enuma Elish ( in the beginning ) or even any of Zecharia Sitchen's book's is a great start... doors will open to the ones who seek.
Indeed, the pyramids, in my opinion, are impossible; and yet they are sat there in plain sight. There is something uniquely inexplicable about their presence. The fact that the human timeline seems to start from the time of Sumer with no record of anything before that is extremely frustrating ...
I love your focus on Ancient Egypt. One or more of your hypotheses will lead to an incredible discovery one day I am sure. I just hope we’re still around when it happens and that you are credited in some way for it. Never miss your vids, more please. Great work!
Mike Jones They are not interested, I suggest, it is fanciful to imagine something of importance exists there. Yes, interesting, but not more than that. My two cents.
This is very interesting. There's something else you touched on that's very interesting, and that is the modern propensity to believe things that have very little or no evidence supporting them, while dismissing outright things that actually have supporting evidence. This has been a trend that has been increasing over this decade, and a disturbing one at that.
I think what got me is that 90% of people believe in Atlantis but 10% of people believe Khufu built the pyramid. But there is barely any evidence for the first. Just some writing by an old philosopher, quoting someone else who quotes someone else. Therefore as a source on Atlantis, Plato is quite poor really. I dunno - I just found it an interesting observation.
Ancient Architects .....that’s correct.... I would love to believe in the ancient pre-flood super civilization idea but after watching and reading all the evidence so far, all of it has been circumstantial - it must have been, it can’t have been.....still waiting for some smoking gun evidence....open minds please....
@@panchopuskas1If Gobekli Tepi is 12500 years old then I think its obvious there was civilisation before the younger Dryas but at what level? No I don't believe there was a super civilisation.
@@panchopuskas1 Circumstantial? There are over 900 pyramids built around the globe plus many other sites/temples using blocks weighing up to 1000 tons quarried from 100's of miles away. The precision of these buildings alone should tell you high technology was used. The precision is better than we use today.
@@Good-Enuff-Garage That's actually a conservative number. world-pyramids.com/en/world-pyramids/s/how-many-pyramids.html 120 in Egypt, The total number of the pyramids of Guatemala is 300-400 pyramids. Together with the Mexico, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador we have around 1000 pyramids there. plus many other places around the globe.
You might have already addressed this.... this elevator idea has a interesting relationship with P. Houdon's concept of the location of antichambers at a level lower than the current location of the kings chamber (as currently understood). He has the hidden access between the kings chamber and his antichamber through the supported square block, in the corner adjacent to the sarcophagus, to enter the vaulted antichambers oddly high up in the gable (i guess it wouldn't matter much to the king's spirit). But the elevator concept would possibly bring the burial chamber down to the floor level of Houdon's antichambers making them contiguous.
@@AncientArchitects I agree. The next thing you should do is to get a solid pickaxe and strike that bloody floor till you get to the next level. It shouldn't be too hard. 😆
I just saw this. I don’t know how I missed it when first published. I try to never miss one of Matt’s videos. This one makes me imagine how the elevator buttons would be labeled, in hieroglyphics of course, King’s Chamber , Grand Gallery, etc ;)
Well that was far more plausible than what I was expecting! IMO salt blocks would melt in an uneven fashion risking partial collapse of the lift support and causing the lift to fall unevenly. A salt plug would work best. The airshafts might function like you have said but also they could potentially allow air into the shaft to avoid creating for example a partial vaccum that could also effect the decent of the lift/tomb. Covering them up would also help cover up the old bait and switch...
Another possibility is that walls, floor, tomb were paved with gold panels, and all was looted so no inscription left. Being a tomb or a temple like some psych says, make no sense no any sign left.
Great video and information. I agree with you that there is something hidden, but it is not Khufu. It must be something far, far, far older, and not necessarily a body, it could be a thing - like an artifact.
They know an earlier species of humanity erected that area and it was probably built as a library of our race.Later when proof is found,EGYPT will be the slime of our race for hindering us all for false ego.Ingenuity as that does NOT sleep for centuries.What has been done there since is enough proof.

I think I will build a model of the pyramid with a test elevator this theory is very interesting! And if I manage to do that and make it work I will share a video on Facebook!
RadioactiveMan strangely enough I was in a charity shop and managed to see a mint condition 1st issue comic of radioactive man not long ago! I’d never heard of such a thing! I live in Ireland and this was sold in USA, how it got here, who had it, bring mint condition in a sleeve I was very impressed! I don’t collect comics but I couldn’t resist! I framed it, looks good on the bathroom wall 😂
i fucking hate facebook man! What a statement to stick on youtube!ha plenty sticky tape for your model attempt id say. i genuinly hope to view your presentation video if ever ........
Great work man- I love that you are bringing us this research with the same unbiased style as all the other theories this channel explores. Is it right? Who knows- but it’s certainly another step however small to finally understanding the pyramids.
Many theories about the Great Pyramid are "too clever by half," but this one is intriguing. Certainly it helps to explain the puzzling crude floor of the King's Chamber, the space between the floor and the walls, and the diminutive stone box totally unworthy in terms of holding the remains of a pharaoh, along with the scratches on the walls and the salt in the Queen's chamber. (For those concerned about uneven melting of the salt, one could simply plug up the chamber's fluid exit until sufficient water had been introduced to the chamber to turn it all into a slurry.) Even if the elevator theory is incorrect, the floor and "sarcophagus" of the King's chamber seem out of place and hastily-constructed, and some voids have been detected beneath them. Someone should drill a hole and insert a light-conducting fiber. Time for a pyramid colonoscopy!
Very very interesting. I wonder when the idea of sand used to lower partitions, doors, fake hallways and this tomb elevator actually arose. I think it was featured in one of the earlier Mummy movies. I remember a worker hitting a stopper, causing sand to run from one place to another, causing Indiana Jones type traps to open, and doors and passages to close. As said, something to think about! Keep up the excellent thought provoking work!
There are so many theories. Elevator, water pump, encoded dimensions in the pyramid, star map, quartz electrical power, frequency generator, harmonics, casted "cement" stone blocks, ancient base structure of polygonal masonry. etc.... it would be great to bring all this evidence together in 1 video and try and decipher the pyramid based on all these findings. Thanks for the great videos. Always a pleasure to learn new theories about ancient Egypt and ancient civilisations.
I've never cared for the Khufu burial idea, but you have to admit that this would be one of the most clever ideas for hiding the king's burial. I'd like better if it was a library hidden there.
Really fascinating - Been there but never dreamed of this idea and our guide never mentioned it. Salt would be less likely to clog. Sand is virtually incompressible. Keep up the info stream - LOVE IT.
As an author of this idea, i say big thanks fot it's popularisation. Really, a half of facts, proofing it, were not known to me at that moment, when i found it. And this is a sign of good scientific theory. The lift - or elevator - was single-used, and moved only 1 time and only down, and without of participation of any man. It no needs for them. And this can explain, why, may be, Cheos was not found. - supervisor
The theory does not destroy the theory that Khufu did not make the pramid. It might be that Khufu used the old tech to his advatage to make this genius elevator. I would not be suprised at all since Khufu was seen as a important figure that you have to make sure no one can disturb it.
@@AncientArchitects Defiantly not, it might even be that it was built before Khufu but he finished it. But I am happy for the original too. Time will tell.
Some Pyramids were increased in size. The outer layers being raised at the same angle as the original. This suggests that the external outer layer used ledges (steps) holding cranes to lift stones and filling. I suggest it was a counter balanced system combined with sledges. I can design the system, but it does not prove that this is the method that the Egyptians used. A system using cables (Ropes) and weights to raise loads has been proposed and would work, especially for the heavier blocks of granite, with the grand gallery being a counterweight shaft.
Before adding to an already hefty priced thing such as a pyramid, if you were so worried about grave robbers station a garrison of troops to guard the structure, much much cheaper. Wasn't there a small city already there for the workers anyway, they move out troops move in zipzip.
Let's put it this way .... If there is an empty chamber underneath, then there's no doubt that the pyramid was constructed purely as a tomb. You can't claim the Egyptians inherited it, if that much planning and work went into it.
Oh wow - what’s his name? I was trying to find it but Google translate on the website was rubbish. I’d happily reference him in a later video and in the description on this video. Thank you.
Wow. This is a hypothesis that is well worth considering and if true would be mind-blowing. Too many ancient historians concur that Khufu built the Great Pyramid, but a lot of modern-day historians disagree, saying the Egyptians were not advanced enough to build such a structure. All I can say is IF there is an elevator in the Great Pyramid, we have sadly underestimated the notion that there have been past civilizations on this planet that perhaps were just as advanced or more so than we are at this moment in history.
I don't think I would have clicked on anyone else's video with that title. ...and even so, I was highly skeptical. But this does sound credible or at least possible. I certainly love the story and will keep it in the back of my mind.
It is a cool unique theory, and well thought out. However, a simple test with ground penetrating radar should be able to detect a void under the floor. If there is a room under the room, finding it would be quite simple.
After they lowered it they should have decorated it, but then they would have to kill the artists to protect the secret. If they painted it first then lowering the block would have defaced the painting and tipped off the thieves. The problem is that too many builders would have seen large blocks of salt going up the ramps, and bring put into place unless brought by secret in the night at enormous expense by priests sworn to secrecy?
They used a lost sand technique to raise massive obelisks into a vertical position, so this dropped box mechanism would be perfectly possible. Given that protection from robbers was of paramount importance to tomb builders, and in this instance they chose to advertise the location of the tomb, such a device might well have been used in the pyramid.
The whole idea of elevator means the tomb is lowered never to be seen again. No way to lift it up again and no access shafts. This is some clever engineering.
@@AncientArchitects i think it would be cool if one is cooper and one is iron, like in a battery. or electrifies the water to make hydrogen gas, for zeppelins!
As always congratulations on your obviously enormous breadth of research, to have come across this article - I can't find the authors either - which I got a Russian friend to translate like many other fascinating papers that have and still are coming out of Russian; many not making it to the Web. As a researcher, it's just an example of excellent diligence to put this well thought out hypothesis into the English,public consciousness . Your point about belief in Atlantic based on Plato, is well made; on that point are you aware that though not calling by name ,a lost civilization is mentioned by Plutarch, Pliny, Proclus,Diodorus, Strabo and Posidinus? All/many offering ideas not in Platonic thought,but, do seem to come from earlier sources? For instance Procolus mentions the same priests at Sais, showed the story of Atlantis on walls to Crantor - 300 years after Solon! Though the famous Aristotle actually doubted Plato saying "Plato alone made Atlantis rise out of the sea and then he submerged it again". There was a contemporary of Plato,now known as the pseudo-Aristotle who wrote about and described a very similar paradise island in his book "On Marvellous Things Heard". For your self and others interested in a summary and many other awesome thoughts on ancient esoteric history/thought and interpretation, might I suggest "The Secret History of the World",by Jonathan Black - a book I very much wish had been around 40 years ago,it would have saved me much searching! A theory is just a theory,but, why give more importance to one than the other? Kudos 💥👊 as always for not being scared to throw an interesting idea into the mix of many other with far less value. Have a good rest of the week and you & yours have great bank holiday weekend 👋🌟✌
@@AncientArchitects My pleasure, as always. To have BOTH sides of my suggestion above, one can either do a lot of reading and searching the websites. For speed ,I'd offer Alan Cameron a devout Atlantis sceptic - which means he's had to do a lot of research to debunk/confirm his argument against, so he offers a lot of references AND Tony O'Connell 's book "Joining the Dots" ,which contains some excellent arguments for what I am saying above . You can find an excellent summation at atlanipedia.ie under Classical Writers Supporting the Existence of Atlantis. Published June 6th 2010. OR Siriadic Columns (the ones Solon is supposed to have read) & Crantor. Happy hunting & keep up the GREAT work👋🌟✌
Super interesting theory. I love that it addresses the salt, sand, scratches and purpose of the shafts. I'd love to hear a more detailed presentation on this. Such good work. I love your perspective and always look forward to new info from you! Thank you so much!!
I was skeptical coming into this, but yeah, it sure looks plausible. 1) What is the Egyptian government's official position on digging into ruins, i.e. do they allow exploration or not at all? 2) I would think this theory could be demonstrated with a scale model of stone/salt/sand. Weight does not scale, so perhaps not a valid idea.
are any of the shafts water tight? thats a real question... from what ive seen it would be a bit leaky. This is a dagger to the heart of even my pet "they did it from the top down by raising and lowering the big 500ton stones with sand" as i have to answer how they moved the sand around.. ive always figured they used water but ofc run into the problem of flow..
Although it actually seems a bit imaginary,but the hypothesis is on a whole new creative level(makes me wonder whether AA team were part of original pyramid construction architectural team in their previous life ??).......GOLD STUFF....thank you for uploading .....
If the chambers floor is actually an elevators ceiling then what is holding up the slabs of stone that make it up? Surely there is a cavity beneath them that they would fall in to.
Khufu... Among the world’s best hide and seek players! But seriously, I love your presentations. Simple, realistic and plausible. No need for magic magic levitation or alien intervention. I like all plausible explanations until the truth is discovered.
As a native Russian speaker, I found the source of the theory. It was posted on a forum in 2007 forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=64:972 The author doesn't give any credit to who has sparked their theory . They only mentioned that the idea struck them overnight. The post has about 300 pages or people discussing the idea, the engineering behind and its feasibility. An interesting read if you have the time!
I was laughing when I first started watching this one...and then, not so much. That's an amazing theory! Can't believe how they could have come up with that! But totally plausible if you can find that much salt in ancient Egypt...?
Why build an elevator out of stone? Elevators are to lift weights! It seems to me that you are referring to a hidden chamber sunk in the pyramid, with a one time closing and locking mechanism.
Matt.. you should set up a fund so you can go out and film on location at Giza etc.. I’m sure your subscribers would happily donate as we’d love to see the end product. You have proved time and time again that your research is superb and you are very open to new ideas.
Counter weight shaft more block lift mechinism. Sand would be carried up to reset the counter weight after each lift. They had almost unlimited man power and fully understood leverage and counter weight priciples.
Very intriguing idea!! Wonder if it’ll be ever possible to prove it 🤔 All depends on the egyptian authorities ..... But it’s a real Indiana Jones spirit!!
Wouldn't a simple test using ground penetrating radar solve this in a few minutes? It would detect a large empty space under the floor. In fact, wouldn't they have done this test many time over the years?
For the most part, this theory makes a lot of sense to me! Most of all, I'm all for the "decoy tomb" hypotesis. This whole elevator concept could be very possible!
So what about the hydraulic ram pump hypothesis. Seems to me that the easiest way to drag something up a slope is to simply have something heavier sliding down a slope, attached to the first thing by rope. If the thing was originally designed to elevate water, they could just fill watertight sacks on a sled at the top and use them to pull heavy blocks up, untie the blocks at the top, and then just empty the water sacks allowing them to be pulled back up for the next go with little difficulty.
@@AncientArchitects Yeah, sorry to kind of hijack the topic of the day there. I just glanced at your video, saw the word elevator, and that schema appeared to me and seemed like it would be so simple and plausible if it really could pump water.
I love the broad creativity of the ideas you put forth! I love that you aren't too attached to any particular hypothesis. I think you might actually be bummed out if the mystery was solved! I know I was, when I first saw your vid about the khufu hypothesis. For some reason, I found myself attached to the ideas: that the pyramid is very very very old, built using tech we no longer have, and is a machine of some kind. Well, the tech part is legit, anyway. The indiana jones lift is a wild theory! Hard to even think of. One of the great mysteries of the pyramid is that salt on the walls in the queen's chamber. So far, the only theories I have heard explaining this is the pyramid machine theory- ie ram pumps, etc. Pretty cool to bring a fresh theory on that... It does indeed get the creative juices flowing! Thankyou so much for all you do!! Respect.
I’m open to any good theory and this one is intriguing but depends on Khufu being responsible for building it. I’m currently of the mind that they renovated an existing structure. Change my mind.
It need not be Khufu in any dropped cavity - some other object, treasure or personage may be sequestered or interred there - the idea and system still has merit.
Plot twist: the entire Giza complex is actually just a really elaborate game of Mousetrap that the Khemetians built to mess with the heads of anybody who survived the Younger Dryas impact. That would also explain the long ramps. There’s a big ass ball bearing under that sand somewhere...
Seems to me that this would be a very complex solution for no reason. Why not start with one big room and build a floor to cover the hidden room? I wouldn't cover a hole in my yard by building and elevator and dissolving the foundation to lower it. I'd put a piece of plywood over it and cover it up with sod. Same result without all the complexity.
My favorite theory is the pyramid was an electrolysis machine. Used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The location was selected to best harness the earths magnetic field for energy, and the oxygen was pumped out to increase the levels in our atmosphere, possibly as part of a terraforming effort, or to make up for a deficiency caused by a natural disaster. Or the hydrogen and oxygen could have been used as rocket fuel. I saw a video on this years ago and it still stands as the most plausible explanation to me. I would love you to do some research, and a video on it, especially if you could disprove it for me. Thanks.

I would love to believe in the ancient pre-flood super civilization idea but after watching and reading all the evidence so far, all of it has been circumstantial - it must have been, it can’t have been.....still waiting for some smoking gun evidence....open minds please....
@@panchopuskas1If Gobekli Tepi is 12500 years old then I think its obvious there was civilisation before the younger Dryas but at what level? No I don't believe there was a super civilisation.
@@panchopuskas1 Circumstantial? There are over 900 pyramids built around the globe plus many other sites/temples using blocks weighing up to 1000 tons quarried from 100's of miles away. The precision of these buildings alone should tell you high technology was used. The precision is better than we use today.
@@Good-Enuff-Garage That's actually a conservative number. world-pyramids.com/en/world-pyramids/s/how-many-pyramids.html 120 in Egypt, The total number of the pyramids of Guatemala is 300-400 pyramids. Together with the Mexico, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador we have around 1000 pyramids there. plus many other places around the globe.
You might have already addressed this.... this elevator idea has a interesting relationship with P. Houdon's concept of the location of antichambers at a level lower than the current location of the kings chamber (as currently understood). He has the hidden access between the kings chamber and his antichamber through the supported square block, in the corner adjacent to the sarcophagus, to enter the vaulted antichambers oddly high up in the gable (i guess it wouldn't matter much to the king's spirit). But the elevator concept would possibly bring the burial chamber down to the floor level of Houdon's antichambers making them contiguous.
What an exciting and interesting theory. Would love to explore it more.
It’s a wonderful theory.
@@AncientArchitects I agree. The next thing you should do is to get a solid pickaxe and strike that bloody floor till you get to the next level. It shouldn't be too hard. 😆

Read the book on the site www.thegreatpyramidofegypt.com in English (NO MONEY)and comment on the book. Thanks.
I just saw this. I don’t know how I missed it when first published. I try to never miss one of Matt’s videos.
This one makes me imagine how the elevator buttons would be labeled, in hieroglyphics of course, King’s Chamber , Grand Gallery, etc ;)
Well that was far more plausible than what I was expecting!
IMO salt blocks would melt in an uneven fashion risking partial collapse of the lift support and causing the lift to fall unevenly. A salt plug would work best. The airshafts might function like you have said but also they could potentially allow air into the shaft to avoid creating for example a partial vaccum that could also effect the decent of the lift/tomb. Covering them up would also help cover up the old bait and switch...
The air shafts were covered up. They were excavated by explorers
Another possibility is that walls, floor, tomb were paved with gold panels, and all was looted so no inscription left. Being a tomb or a temple like some psych says, make no sense no any sign left.
Hmmm. Nice idea too.
Would be some gold dust left atleast
Machine : Still looks like some kind of hydraulic pump to me with an underground man made reservoir right next door
I know. Most will agree with you too.
Great video and information. I agree with you that there is something hidden, but it is not Khufu. It must be something far, far, far older, and not necessarily a body, it could be a thing - like an artifact.
Sadly,we would never be told of it.The info would be manipulated to preserve a lie.(I fear).
Possibly an airship or something else of importance they believed belong to the gods
They know an earlier species of humanity erected that area and it was probably built as a library of our race.Later when proof is found,EGYPT will be the slime of our race for hindering us all for false ego.Ingenuity as that does NOT sleep for centuries.What has been done there since is enough proof.

I think I will build a model of the pyramid with a test elevator this theory is very interesting! And if I manage to do that and make it work I will share a video on Facebook!
Do that and I would loooove to see it! I’m just not very “handy” else I’d have a go!

Great work man- I love that you are bringing us this research with the same unbiased style as all the other theories this channel explores. Is it right? Who knows- but it’s certainly another step however small to finally understanding the pyramids.
Many theories about the Great Pyramid are "too clever by half," but this one is intriguing. Certainly it helps to explain the puzzling crude floor of the King's Chamber, the space between the floor and the walls, and the diminutive stone box totally unworthy in terms of holding the remains of a pharaoh, along with the scratches on the walls and the salt in the Queen's chamber. (For those concerned about uneven melting of the salt, one could simply plug up the chamber's fluid exit until sufficient water had been introduced to the chamber to turn it all into a slurry.) Even if the elevator theory is incorrect, the floor and "sarcophagus" of the King's chamber seem out of place and hastily-constructed, and some voids have been detected beneath them. Someone should drill a hole and insert a light-conducting fiber. Time for a pyramid colonoscopy!
Very very interesting. I wonder when the idea of sand used to lower partitions, doors, fake hallways and this tomb elevator actually arose. I think it was featured in one of the earlier Mummy movies. I remember a worker hitting a stopper, causing sand to run from one place to another, causing Indiana Jones type traps to open, and doors and passages to close. As said, something to think about! Keep up the excellent thought provoking work!
Don’t perpetuate the “tomb” falsehood.
We don’t find mummies in pyramids, that’s all.
There are so many theories. Elevator, water pump, encoded dimensions in the pyramid, star map, quartz electrical power, frequency generator, harmonics, casted "cement" stone blocks, ancient base structure of polygonal masonry. etc.... it would be great to bring all this evidence together in 1 video and try and decipher the pyramid based on all these findings.
Thanks for the great videos. Always a pleasure to learn new theories about ancient Egypt and ancient civilisations.
The absolute definitive way to end all this controversy is just to disassemble the entire Great Pyramid, block by block. Everything will be revealed
There’s something there!! Keep at it...
Thank you! I hope you’re well my friend!

Better than most theory’s. My imagination is running wild.
Mine has been all week 😂
I've never cared for the Khufu burial idea, but you have to admit that this would be one of the most clever ideas for hiding the king's burial. I'd like better if it was a library hidden there.
Really fascinating - Been there but never dreamed of this idea and our guide never mentioned it. Salt would be less likely to clog. Sand is virtually incompressible. Keep up the info stream - LOVE IT.
As an author of this idea, i say big thanks fot it's popularisation. Really, a half of facts, proofing it, were not known to me at that moment, when i found it. And this is a sign of good scientific theory. The lift - or elevator - was single-used, and moved only 1 time and only down, and without of participation of any man. It no needs for them. And this can explain, why, may be, Cheos was not found. - supervisor
You can ask some questions to me here: tropican@mail.ru
The theory does not destroy the theory that Khufu did not make the pramid.
It might be that Khufu used the old tech to his advatage to make this genius elevator.
I would not be suprised at all since Khufu was seen as a important figure that you have to make sure no one can disturb it.
Khufu was venerated through dynastic history. The cult of Khufu was huge way after his death. We should not discount the idea he built the pyramid.
@@AncientArchitects Defiantly not, it might even be that it was built before Khufu but he finished it. But I am happy for the original too. Time will tell.
Some Pyramids were increased in size. The outer layers being raised at the same angle as the original. This suggests that the external outer layer used ledges (steps) holding cranes to lift stones and filling. I suggest it was a counter balanced system combined with sledges. I can design the system, but it does not prove that this is the method that the Egyptians used. A system using cables (Ropes) and weights to raise loads has been proposed and would work, especially for the heavier blocks of granite, with the grand gallery being a counterweight shaft.
Most information is a well guarded secret....
Before adding to an already hefty priced thing such as a pyramid, if you were so worried about grave robbers station a garrison of troops to guard the structure, much much cheaper. Wasn't there a small city already there for the workers anyway, they move out troops move in zipzip.
how would the elevator theory coincide with your hydro pump theory
I’d have to piece it all together. I’m not that far ahead yet!
Bob Crielly’s book is worth the couple of dollars - linked in the description.
@@AncientArchitects ok cool ive got some ideas ill come back after i read that book
Let's put it this way ....
If there is an empty chamber underneath, then there's no doubt that the pyramid was constructed purely as a tomb.
You can't claim the Egyptians inherited it, if that much planning and work went into it.
Damn I think they have figured it out. This is the most compelling theory I have heard yet.
I've just sent a link to this video to the author of this theory. I had a lot of discussions with him on russian web forums)
Oh wow - what’s his name? I was trying to find it but Google translate on the website was rubbish. I’d happily reference him in a later video and in the description on this video. Thank you.
If you could ask him to email ancientarchitectschannel@gmail.com - that would be great. Thanks
I don't know his name, only nickname. As I can see - he was online recently. So I hope he will watch the video and get in touch with you.
Vladimir A would be great. I was trying to find it or a contact or email address would I could translate the website. Thank you
Have you seen this site? cheops.su/wiki2/index.php/Theory_of_lift
Wow. This is a hypothesis that is well worth considering and if true would be mind-blowing. Too many ancient historians concur that Khufu built the Great Pyramid, but a lot of modern-day historians disagree, saying the Egyptians were not advanced enough to build such a structure. All I can say is IF there is an elevator in the Great Pyramid, we have sadly underestimated the notion that there have been past civilizations on this planet that perhaps were just as advanced or more so than we are at this moment in history.
I don't think I would have clicked on anyone else's video with that title. ...and even so, I was highly skeptical. But this does sound credible or at least possible. I certainly love the story and will keep it in the back of my mind.
Thanks Adam
I totally agree...if for instance it was uploaded by ZSG channel, I would have probably thought "yeah right " and passed it by.
YOUR OWN WORDS. BEST QUALITY ENGINEERING... "BEYOND ANYTHING OF ANCIENT EGYPT. " ALREADY PROVEN, MAN NEVER BUILT THE PYRAMIDS
Curious. I've never heard this theory before. How cool!
Yep 👍
It is a cool unique theory, and well thought out.
However, a simple test with ground penetrating radar should be able to detect a void under the floor.
If there is a room under the room, finding it would be quite simple.
not an elevator. it's a piston. for a hydrogen combustion engine
I support this hypothesis.
It’s fun and exciting - as I said - it captured my imagination for sure!
Brilliant! I love the elevator idea and feel that the pyramid is many mysteries combined into one structure! Thank you :)
surely if it was meant to be a decoy they would have engraved hyroglyphs in the decoy chamber your first point makes no sense
After they lowered it they should have decorated it, but then they would have to kill the artists to protect the secret. If they painted it first then lowering the block would have defaced the painting and tipped off the thieves. The problem is that too many builders would have seen large blocks of salt going up the ramps, and bring put into place unless brought by secret in the night at enormous expense by priests sworn to secrecy?
They used a lost sand technique to raise massive obelisks into a vertical position, so this dropped box mechanism would be perfectly possible. Given that protection from robbers was of paramount importance to tomb builders, and in this instance they chose to advertise the location of the tomb, such a device might well have been used in the pyramid.
That fantastic.. it's not impossible.. exceptional, amazing... not impossible.
👍
The whole idea of elevator means the tomb is lowered never to be seen again. No way to lift it up again and no access shafts. This is some clever engineering.
The air shaft plugs had copper handles. But there is no way for a person to use those handles. A rope or pully just have been attached there.
Could have had a rope attached maybe, yes.
@@AncientArchitects i think it would be cool if one is cooper and one is iron, like in a battery. or electrifies the water to make hydrogen gas, for zeppelins!

As always congratulations on your obviously enormous breadth of research, to have come across this article - I can't find the authors either - which I got a Russian friend to translate like many other fascinating papers that have and still are coming out of Russian; many not making it to the Web. As a researcher, it's just an example of excellent diligence to put this well thought out hypothesis into the English,public consciousness . Your point about belief in Atlantic based on Plato, is well made; on that point are you aware that though not calling by name ,a lost civilization is mentioned by Plutarch, Pliny, Proclus,Diodorus, Strabo and Posidinus? All/many offering ideas not in Platonic thought,but, do seem to come from earlier sources? For instance Procolus mentions the same priests at Sais, showed the story of Atlantis on walls to Crantor - 300 years after Solon! Though the famous Aristotle actually doubted Plato saying "Plato alone made Atlantis rise out of the sea and then he submerged it again". There was a contemporary of Plato,now known as the pseudo-Aristotle who wrote about and described a very similar paradise island in his book "On Marvellous Things Heard". For your self and others interested in a summary and many other awesome thoughts on ancient esoteric history/thought and interpretation, might I suggest "The Secret History of the World",by Jonathan Black - a book I very much wish had been around 40 years ago,it would have saved me much searching! A theory is just a theory,but, why give more importance to one than the other? Kudos 💥👊 as always for not being scared to throw an interesting idea into the mix of many other with far less value. Have a good rest of the week and you & yours have great bank holiday weekend 👋🌟✌
Thank you! I’ve screenshotted your comment to read properly soon!
@@AncientArchitects My pleasure, as always. To have BOTH sides of my suggestion above, one can either do a lot of reading and searching the websites. For speed ,I'd offer Alan Cameron a devout Atlantis sceptic - which means he's had to do a lot of research to debunk/confirm his argument against, so he offers a lot of references AND Tony O'Connell 's book "Joining the Dots" ,which contains some excellent arguments for what I am saying above . You can find an excellent summation at atlanipedia.ie under Classical Writers Supporting the Existence of Atlantis. Published June 6th 2010. OR Siriadic Columns (the ones Solon is supposed to have read) & Crantor. Happy hunting & keep up the GREAT work👋🌟✌
Super interesting theory. I love that it addresses the salt, sand, scratches and purpose of the shafts. I'd love to hear a more detailed presentation on this. Such good work. I love your perspective and always look forward to new info from you! Thank you so much!!
I was skeptical coming into this, but yeah, it sure looks plausible. 1) What is the Egyptian government's official position on digging into ruins, i.e. do they allow exploration or not at all? 2) I would think this theory could be demonstrated with a scale model of stone/salt/sand. Weight does not scale, so perhaps not a valid idea.
Interesting. Could the lift be part of a water pump?
@Le Moment Curieux Any links to information to back up this "ram pump" theory?
Le Moment Curieux that sounds pretty great. :) did you record your findings by any chance? I would love to see it in action.
are any of the shafts water tight? thats a real question... from what ive seen it would be a bit leaky. This is a dagger to the heart of even my pet "they did it from the top down by raising and lowering the big 500ton stones with sand" as i have to answer how they moved the sand around.. ive always figured they used water but ofc run into the problem of flow..
Although it actually seems a bit imaginary,but the hypothesis is on a whole new creative level(makes me wonder whether AA team were part of original pyramid construction architectural team in their previous life ??).......GOLD STUFF....thank you for uploading .....
That's a theory I have not heard, thx Matt ❤⛰❤
Thanks Lynn
Let me come up with another theory. Great pyramid is a paper weight that keeps earth from flying off.
Top tip: Subtitles on, sound off.
I personally find the "water pump" theory to be the most logical. Great video, thanks!
If the chambers floor is actually an elevators ceiling then what is holding up the slabs of stone that make it up? Surely there is a cavity beneath them that they would fall in to.
boxes within boxes, constructed on one floor that drops- a similar roofing system to be used but smaller to hold up the 'floor' of the King's Chamber.
Khufu... Among the world’s best hide and seek players! But seriously, I love your presentations. Simple, realistic and plausible. No need for magic magic levitation or alien intervention. I like all plausible explanations until the truth is discovered.
Awesome. Keep up the great work!
Cheers
As a native Russian speaker, I found the source of the theory. It was posted on a forum in 2007 forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=64:972
The author doesn't give any credit to who has sparked their theory . They only mentioned that the idea struck them overnight.
The post has about 300 pages or people discussing the idea, the engineering behind and its feasibility. An interesting read if you have the time!
I was laughing when I first started watching this one...and then, not so much.
That's an amazing theory! Can't believe how they could have come up with that! But totally plausible if you can find that much salt in ancient Egypt...?
Someone has commented that they know the author - I’ll find him and get his name up in lights. Couldn’t see it on the website.
Why build an elevator out of stone? Elevators are to lift weights! It seems to me that you are referring to a hidden chamber sunk in the pyramid, with a one time closing and locking mechanism.
Wow, this really would explain a lot!!
I think the elevator hypothesis is fascinating and it has grabbed my attention, I'm blown away.
Thank you Matt x😀
The whole idea makes a lot of sense. But not for a thumb but maybe for something very precious... maybe the arc of the covenant...
This is a very interesting hypothesis, we do know that whomever built the pyramids were certainly very clever.
Alien remains inside. We will be able to all teleport to another dimension to the next game level. Prove me wrong 😜

Very interesting indeed. Wouldn't it be fantastic to have such a discovery made. It would be spoke of and studied for decades.
Matt.. you should set up a fund so you can go out and film on location at Giza etc.. I’m sure your subscribers would happily donate as we’d love to see the end product. You have proved time and time again that your research is superb and you are very open to new ideas.
And the grand gallery is an escalator 😍 (How do you say escalator in British?)
Escalator is also how the Queen would say it 😂 It was quite painful saying “elevator” in this video as we all call it a “lift”. Oh well 😂
Ancient Architects Hey fellow Midlander. :) in my family we call a lift, a lift but those with the rising staircases, an escalator.. :)
"Escalator, chap"
Auto steps.
Counter weight shaft more block lift mechinism. Sand would be carried up to reset the counter weight after each lift. They had almost unlimited man power and fully understood leverage and counter weight priciples.
I love this theory! It reeks with inventiveness of the builders that I have come to expect.
Very intriguing idea!! Wonder if it’ll be ever possible to prove it 🤔 All depends on the egyptian authorities ..... But it’s a real Indiana Jones spirit!!
Wouldn't a simple test using ground penetrating radar solve this in a few minutes?
It would detect a large empty space under the floor.
In fact, wouldn't they have done this test many time over the years?
@@Saugaverse
Egypt has curtailed a lot of foreign research in the past decade.
For the most part, this theory makes a lot of sense to me! Most of all, I'm all for the "decoy tomb" hypotesis. This whole elevator concept could be very possible!

Great video. The pyramids really are the ultimate ‘what’s in the box’ mystery
i just straight up think the pyramids were there before the dynastic egyptians just like the sphinx.
A lot of people do 👍
@@AncientArchitects
I firmly agree with you
This is certainly one of the most fascinating notions regarding the GP that I've heard about in some time, perhaps ever.
Basically the Egyptians were playing Minecraft and making water elevators.
Apparently so. They also found an ancient XBox in an air shaft.
Rigamonti someone should make a pyramid in Minecraft and run a simulation to see how it fairs
So what about the hydraulic ram pump hypothesis. Seems to me that the easiest way to drag something up a slope is to simply have something heavier sliding down a slope, attached to the first thing by rope. If the thing was originally designed to elevate water, they could just fill watertight sacks on a sled at the top and use them to pull heavy blocks up, untie the blocks at the top, and then just empty the water sacks allowing them to be pulled back up for the next go with little difficulty.
Hmm... I need to re-evaluate everything I’ve read. There’s a lot to think about!
@@AncientArchitects Yeah, sorry to kind of hijack the topic of the day there. I just glanced at your video, saw the word elevator, and that schema appeared to me and seemed like it would be so simple and plausible if it really could pump water.

I love the broad creativity of the ideas you put forth! I love that you aren't too attached to any particular hypothesis. I think you might actually be bummed out if the mystery was solved! I know I was, when I first saw your vid about the khufu hypothesis. For some reason, I found myself attached to the ideas: that the pyramid is very very very old, built using tech we no longer have, and is a machine of some kind. Well, the tech part is legit, anyway. The indiana jones lift is a wild theory! Hard to even think of. One of the great mysteries of the pyramid is that salt on the walls in the queen's chamber. So far, the only theories I have heard explaining this is the pyramid machine theory- ie ram pumps, etc. Pretty cool to bring a fresh theory on that... It does indeed get the creative juices flowing! Thankyou so much for all you do!! Respect.

I’m open to any good theory and this one is intriguing but depends on Khufu being responsible for building it. I’m currently of the mind that they renovated an existing structure. Change my mind.
Ok. I’m open minded too though 🤷♂️
Ancient Architects that’s why I really enjoy your videos. It shows.
It need not be Khufu in any dropped cavity - some other object, treasure or personage may be sequestered or interred there - the idea and system still has merit.
11:08, funny how that picture doesn't have the corner missing from the coffer.
A M A Z I N G ! Just Amazing theory! (Will buy that for a dollar !) 10/10 post AA !
Plot twist: the entire Giza complex is actually just a really elaborate game of Mousetrap that the Khemetians built to mess with the heads of anybody who survived the Younger Dryas impact. That would also explain the long ramps. There’s a big ass ball bearing under that sand somewhere...
Seems to me that this would be a very complex solution for no reason. Why not start with one big room and build a floor to cover the hidden room? I wouldn't cover a hole in my yard by building and elevator and dissolving the foundation to lower it. I'd put a piece of plywood over it and cover it up with sod. Same result without all the complexity.
Well, if (big if) it is true - it has worked!
You would have to wait until the pharaoh dies, place him in room, and continue building up and over him.
My favorite theory is the pyramid was an electrolysis machine. Used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. The location was selected to best harness the earths magnetic field for energy, and the oxygen was pumped out to increase the levels in our atmosphere, possibly as part of a terraforming effort, or to make up for a deficiency caused by a natural disaster. Or the hydrogen and oxygen could have been used as rocket fuel. I saw a video on this years ago and it still stands as the most plausible explanation to me. I would love you to do some research, and a video on it, especially if you could disprove it for me. Thanks.
