The Entrance Vault to the Great Pyramid and ScanPyramids corridor explained

  • The enormous gabled chevron blocks above the entrance to the Great Pyramid have confounded explorers and researchers for centuries. The purpose for this Tura limestone saddle vault ceiling has seemed inexplicable, because the corridor below doesn't use them to relieve weight from above.
    In 2016 the ScanPyramids research mission shocked the world by announcing the detection of a hidden corridor-like space behind the chevron blocks that sit above the entrance. Egyptology has not yet fully investigated this phenomenon, nor given a realistic explanation for its existence.
    In this video we meticulously reconstruct the partially destroyed Entrance Vault to determine its original design and a likely purpose for its construction. We then connect the ScanPyramids corridor to the Entrance Vault for a complete analysis, and peer back into time to determine what the Old Kingdom Egyptians were really up to.

    It would be interesting to see an FEA model of the Pyramid, where every block is modeled as thousands of tiny blocks pressing against each other, slightly deforming under pressure and temperature.

    The outside chevrons are sloped inward, in case the 1st chevrons failed, the weight would push toward the area of least resistance, which would be toward the outside of the pyramid, so they are angled inward to stop the pyramid from bulging outward if the first set were to fail, because they are so close to the exterior. Having each set join at different angles would also help distribute better , instead of all the stones loading down on the same points, you would be directing the weight over a larger area. This is why they are not staggered like the queens chamber.
    An inspections shaft, makes a lot of sense, to be able to check the integrity of the highest/main load bearing casing stones.

    And I really really hope they "open" this door soon. Some experts believe you only need to push the weirdly shaped stone to get to the inside (including JP Houdin). It's understandable that egyptian authourities don't want destructive actions to discover, but that would be totally non-destructive if done right.

    • @mnomadvfx
      @mnomadvfx 2 года назад +3

      The "weirdly shaped stone" is probably only weirdly shaped because it was never intended to be visible.
      More likely this entire exposed section was the entrance to a shrine for offerings at a time when the GP was still a stepped pyramid before the exterior was filled in/leveld out to become the true pyramid it is today.
      Therefore the "weirdly shaped stone" likely just part of assorted quarry rubble backfill, and the 'void' behind this is more likely a density differential caused by uneven backfill rather than a true void or open space.
      Non intrusive doesn't mean what you think it means though.
      Intrusive = an intrusion, it doesn't imply destructive or non destructive means.
      A burglary is intrusive, that doesn't mean that a skilled burglar cannot get in without causing damage.

    Very insightful that the tunnels in these pyramids were built low in order to make it difficult for their items to be removed, and also to prevent a thief from gaining the necessary leverage to destroy blocked entrances, while the servicing tunnels were built at a normal height for the exact opposite reasons. That never would've occurred to me, but once you hear it you know it's true. It's insight like that that really gets me engrossed.

      Voids do not relieve weight at all.
      The chevron stones exist for that purpose, but they only divert weight, which is why they need to be thicker and larger.
      It's not even certain that it is a voide at all - the muon scan only reveals a density differential to the surrounding stone work.
      This could be explained by uneven back filled rubble, sand and mortar used to fill in a space as his been found in other 'voids' within the pyramid.

    Something I don't think I have seen anywhere is a good primer on the evolution of pyramid-building and monolithic architecture in Egypt. Most videos everywhere, as here, seem to focus mostly on the Giza complex, as if those are the only pyramid structures in existence, and ignore the foundations of understanding that start with mustaba, then Djoser & Imhotep, where the lessons learned there are forgotten until Sneferu picks back up to reinvent, and refine the basics with several pyramids, from where we get near continuous pyramid building until the practice fell out of favor.

    Hi Higgy, I think the 'notched timpanum' is actually an ancient (before records were made)remnant of exploratory works to determine whether or not there was a passage behind the saddle blocks.
    Only specific areas of stone were removed, revealing the untouched blocks behind, and the corners of the timpanum were left unmolested, presumably to prevent the above weight causing a catastrophic failure.
    I assume that it was the initial work to try and find the entrance passage, and that upon deciding to down tools, that efforts were made to reveal the true known 'entrance vault'.

    • @locryStudios
      @locryStudios Год назад +1

    I think the entrance stones lean inwards,because the shaft slants downwards toward those giant stones,and likely they are roof slabs fitted one against the next ,exerting weight down and outwards,which they worried about.the other possibility is that there was movement of the chevrons towards the final completion of the piramid,and the slabs behind had cracked and collapsed into the inspection space(unfixable with whole piramid built on top,and the finished 3rd 4th and 5th chevrons,were an attempt at bolstering inwards a failure (unfixable) within).just a hypothesis at this point,but logically it's a feasable internal repair attempt ( :

    • @spacemanmat
      @spacemanmat 2 года назад +1

      That was more or less the impression I had. If the shaft was built for access to get items easily into the pyramid during construction, once they have finished using the passage they would have blocked off the entrance. Then laid the slanted stones as a brace, that way when they build the structure of the pyramid over the top of the entrance, it would load up the sloped roof and they were worried this might cause a slip.

I found that the at less visited sites - e.g. at Dahshur, Meidum and middle kingdom pyramids, they are less interested at ripping you off and more about really showing you around. If only Egypt could deal with that, they would get even more tourists and money!

    The entrance vault seems quite similar to the hieroglyphic sign Aa5, according to Gardiner's list. By the way, group 'Aa' is called "Unclassified", although it is an "architectural element". Grammars of Middle Egyptian describe the sign as phonogram «Hp» or ideogram for «Hipt» "oar", but also it is found as determinative in words meaning “hide, concealed, etc.”. Anyway, thanks for this video.

    So Mr granite, how many views are you getting now after the endoscope reveal?
    I commented this on your post earlier and after rewatching this I have my own new observations.
    1. This 'passage' doesn't look like any other pyramid passage I've seen before.
    2. This doesn't look like it was decorated nor were the stones dressed so I assume it serves some kind of utility.
    3. It seems relatively undisturbed. I don't see any clear breaks or debris lying around that would indicate that vandals broke it.
    4. It looks like there is erosion happening in here, most notebly on the right where it appears to be a channel had formed.
    5. I'm starting to think the passage was much bigger during construction and was filled it once they no longer needed the big space to move large material inside. Then it was made smaller. The blocks were angled inwards to stop this 'plug' from pushing outward and downward toward the north. I would lean a block inward to stop something from pushing the other way. Perhaps it even provided access to move the granite plugs in place or get the people out.
    Either way, I'm still looking forward to your next video on the subject.

    I think the pyramid was built in multiple stages. Initially a smaller pyramid was built, this is where the "ventilation shafts" from the Queen's chamber end. It was then enlarged by adding an outer layer. The empty space behind chevrons spans the distance between the inner and the outer layer. So does the "notch" found high on the north-east edge. Adding an outer layer was a challenge. Existing parts of the structure had to be reinforced and that's why the arrangement of blocks looks odd.

It's a more primitive version of the true arch, something that one would expect to find in such case.

    I like your prototype theory. So far its the only explanation that fits all the facts even if its not my favorite thing should it be true. I like the chevrons being a nice entryway trim as they look like at first glance. I always wondered why they would be concealed, maybe it was open for a while then concealed or something like that which suggests some more public role for the structure during a heyday and i really like that idea.

      Todays egyptian council of antiquities is extremely conservative regarding any such archeological measures. There are historic reasons for this as over the decades, countless artifacts and ancient monuments have been damaged/destroyed by domestic tomb raiders and especially foreign "treasure hunters" from Europe and the USA calling themselves archeologists during the early 20th century. Money easily convinced the corrupt egyptian government and authorities back then to let them drill and blast their way into graves and pyramids whenever they had a hunch it may lead to a mummy or treasure. This sad chapter of Egypts history left painful marks and shall never repeat itself. So even today, especially when you're an non-egyptian archeologist, you have to come up with some real solid evidence to get the permission to drill a hole into something, especially at such publicly visible spot. Much more evidence for a truly meaningful scientific discovery is required here that justifies such an invasive measure. And a highly unrealiable and unprecise muon scan combined with some equally sketchy assumptions plus the high likeliness that its just tiny empty space filled with construction rubble.... just doesn't cut it.

    The scholarly book on the great pyramic by Peter Tompkins, makes a great deal from what is an agreed upon unit of measure that the pyrmaids builders used in it's construction, termed the "Pyramid inch," and it's application to dimensions of the pyramid with stupefying results. The First revelation in using that measure on the outer length of the base results in a number to several decimal places that corresponds to the time for a standard solar year. But more amazing still is the measure of the sides incorporating the indent found at the center of each side and resulting in a bigger number and that number, again taken out to several decimal names the time for a standard year including the extra time introduced by the wobble on the Earth's axis. and was only recently discovered with the help of telescopes and specific stars as reference points. When one really begins to study the Great Pyramid, it becomes clear that, to some extent, it was a statement by it's builders.

      ​@@harrywalker968 Actually, that's not what I'm saying at all. But first, if you go back and reread what I've written, you'll notice, nowhere in any of that do I suggest that the Cheops pyramid was built by humans. Given all the data provided in Tompkin's work, I'm led to believe that either a race of humans existed over ten thousand years ago that was far more advanced than we humans are today with the only remaining example (not counting the moon), of their having been here and has survived the ages is the Cheops pyramid, or, it was built by "someone" else. I'm betting on that last one. One of the facts that Tompkins brought to light was that, when looked at in terms of latitude and longitude, it becomes apparent that the Great pyramid was located on the one spot on Earth where those two lines traverse the largest amount of land. Think of that, the one place, on land, on the entire planet where the longitude and latitude lines cover more land than at any other point. The conclusion was that, the only way to have gotten that information was from looking at the Earth..... from above. But there is far more information from Tompkins book and if someone would really like to marvel at the immense confluence of unexplained facts surrounding the Great Pyramid, I don't know of any other work that provides more researched information. And while I'm no genius mathematically, I understand enough to understand the conclusions Tompkins and other mathematicians he cited have come to when addressing the many mathematical concepts incorporated into that structure. Personally, I believe that an alien race placed that huge monument where they did to make the statement, "Someone other than you was here," that would last long enough that even the slowly evolving race of humans on the planet would, at some point develop enough to recognize the puzzle presented to us and decode enough of it to appreciate that fact and perhaps grow a bit as well.
