Yep they just take every other video of people with no clue and just say the same thing sorta, Brilliant. Building the pyramids a step by step video is brilliant
I love that these pyramids are too big to be destroyed. They can be weathered but no empire could take apart the pyramids. It would take considerably more effort to destroy it than building it. It’s a structure that I think the Egyptians knew would outlive their society and maybe humans as a whole. This was their legacy.
I agree with most of what you said except for the part about it taking more effort to destroy than it took to make it. Even without modern technology that statement wouldn’t be true. It would take an insane amount of work to destroy it but that only shows how much work and ingenuity was put into it in the first place
@@lapiztik8620 Well. Nuke wasn’t invented when pyramid was built. If they had the brain to creat such a magnificent structure 4000 years ago, I’m pretty sure they could easily build a structure which can even withstand nuke, if it was built today.
Actually new research has found the river used to come much closer, and canals were built. These rocks were carried in by barge and only moved across the desert a short distance. Ruins in the desert were originally built when the river flowed there as well before the river changed course.
@@yuvl32 that is probably exactly what he said, Quran mentions: “And Pharaoh said to his people: “I have not known a god for you other than myself; so Haman, light me a fire to bake clay so that I could build a rise high enough, maybe I see Moses’ god whom I think is a liar.”
What I found most interesting about pyramids is those projects are so costly that can easily ruin the kingdom budget, the wealth used could be used for agriculture or defence still they choose to do it but, then those projects thousands of year later brings a considerable amount of wealth to Egypt by tourism, a generation worked for a generation 5000 year later.
well if you didn't know they actually made pyramids to be tombs for the pharaohs that is why is worked really hard day and night on it and there are lots of pyramids scattered around Egypt and every one of them had the purpose to be a tomb and a place to protect the pharaoh's body from the tomb thieves as they wanted to enter the tombs to take the gold and resources left in them that is the reason they made pyramids.
Zyklon - Drake. I'm not sure exactly why you think that is implausible, considering the fact that it only takes 3 people to move an average sized limestone block (with respect to the Great Pyramid) with a sled and a bucket of water. Several people have demonstrated it on youtube. The larger blocks, weighing 6-10 tonnes, only require you to increase the number of workers. Again, we can do it today without any modern tools, contrary to the lie told in basically every "Pyramid Mystery" documentary, which always claim that our cranes can't lift the largest stone (which is only true because we don't make 20 tonne counter weights to keep the crane from tipping over, because we don't use massive stones for our modern buildings). Questioning the time it took to build the pyramid is perfectly reasonable, or the method by which they transported stones to the upper levels. There was actually an internal ramp found not long after this video was made that you might find interesting. But the idea that they couldn't possibly have lifted the stones is pure nonsense. We know for a fact that they could do it, because they drew pictures of themselves doing it in the tombs of the architects who designed them. We have the sleds they used, the tools they cut the stone with, and even a ramp now (albeit internal, as part of the pyramid's structure). Not to mention the massive work camps excavated around the pyramids, complete with the workers tools, chisels, sleds and so on.
George Mason thanks for the paragraph, altho I could also read a whole book instead of reading the paragraph of a comment u took probably 5 years to type :)
Yea if they put the 3 ton stone in the bed. Only F350 Diesel has enough power to haul it . If they used a trailer they could have used the tundra pretty easily. And cut down costs since Ford Diesels are very expensive.

The building of the pyramids, the forging and making of tools, the agricultural input, the building of towns to support the workers and everything else is simply incredible
"If you consider a ten hour work day". Nope. Not when slavery is at play. Lol 🤣 It's not a myth....funny how "skilled workers" makes them not slaves....in the USA the short time we had slaves (relative to Egypt...) we can say they became very skilled...if were not previously. Most slaves in Egypt didn't have Egyptain burial. Perhaps the ones that they considered worthy yes... They know how they got the stones from that specific quarry how...? If we don't have documents about this? Did I miss something? What says there weren't closer quarries back then? Ramps found....so concrete evidence. Or STONE evidence .. 😅 I remember learning how the pyramids eere made in Middle school in the 90s. I think it was one of the first times I learned what I was taught as fact was only theory, not "proven without a reasonable doubt." But now everything is so muddled that could be it was well known as fact and people are too hungry for other explanations.Though like many ancient cultures, especially ones with pyramid structures...the Egyptians seemed to worship what could've been fallen angels or even Nephalim. Perhaps after being given certain knowledge and/or technology etc. Don't forget...in anthropological terms a ramp IS technology. And if we don't know plans of the pyramids I'd like to know more about their theory that no wheels were invented yet, considering wheels could've been made of materials that might weather away faster...what about their chariots etc ..when were those made vs the pyramids? Seems pretty inconsistent to me. Carbon dating isn't super accurate either most times in ancient history...the further back we go so makes one wonder. 🤔
Yet they are revealing a civilization in the Amazon whos government was more complex, and not being able to store grains and such, there wasn't constant measurable excess that needed to be managed then used to subjugate those that don't fall in line.
Imagine the look on the faces of the Egyptians if someone would have rolled up in a cart or wagon with wheels on it right after the last block was placed on the pyramid. "Hey guys! Whatcha doin?"
I went to the Pyramids to finish some quests in Assassination Creed, I must admit I must appreciate the level of detailing they have done and it was a sight to behold after climbing up the pyramid, you can see the entire city from there.
@@banielha hahaha.. any proof? XD this pyramids are so accurate that we could not even build it with this accuracy today ;) besides the fact that some stones are so heavy that we cant lift them up either ;)
To be fair, sleds through sand probably works much better than wheels through sand. To use wheels, they would need to build roads, which would be a significant additional bit of work.
Yeah, they work so well that experimental archeaologists try every year to replicate it and come away with super clumsy attempts that in no way prove it could have been done with the speed required to lay 2,5 million stones, each one of them every 3 minutes whilst weighing 2 tonnes on average, [EDIT: 12 hours] a day for 20-30 years in order to build it in time they claim it was build in and with the initial unparalelled precision. And that is only the Great Pyramid, let alone the other 2.
@@penguinpog6674 do people still not know that the majority of the pyramids stones were formed and poured like concrete? I didn't think that people still believed that these were solid stones weighing multiple tons and they were moved by hand up ramps......
Wheels are utterly useless in sand and in mud. That's 95% of Egypt normally, and in the flood: 100%. Egyptians used the wheel for things later on, just like everyone else - but not to travel across the desert on!
So they can mathematically get every alignment down to the perfect degree to markings that wrap the planet and to a star constellation but can't think of a wheel?
It's so awesome how much content accumulated over the years in this channel. I am a relatively recent subscriber and it always blows me away when I get some video-recommendation from this channel. I hope you revisit this topic some day and collect some experts and kind of give an overview about the current theories on how such big project had been realized back in the days
"If these workers had been slaves, they would not have received such honorable burials." Or maybe the Pharaoh believed it was important to bring his slaves to the afterlife too...
I wonder how many they used, because it would have gotten pretty laggy with all those people on at the same time along with those mods, not to mention the giant structure they're constructing. But who knows maybe they had a beast of a server.
Well, now you should add the fact that there are multiple tunnels inside and under each pyramid (and not only the giza ones), so they certainly followed some type of engineering project to make it perfect. Those guys were crazy intelligent.
@@barnagainhousefellowship2450 Haven't even seen this comment but egyptians did have wheels. It is well known they used animals attached to wagons to carry materials.
Mighty architecture is the signature of a mighty civilization. The fact they were wiped out so badly we cant even understand what they were doing just stands as a deep reminder to mankind that no matter how great you think you've become, you will cone to an end
The Egyptians were mighty but because they were so spoiled by protection of the natural environment like desert, mountains, and canyons they never developed a great defense. That's why they kept getting conquered over and over. Makes you wonder just how strong the usa's D really is since it's never truly been tested because of the pacific and atlantic........
I don't think people realize how old these pyramids are By the time the last Wooly Mammoth died, the pyramids were 1000 years old Cleopatra was born closer to the moon landing than the building of the pyramids. No, by this time they didn't have the wheel or pulley.
DauntingDays Completely untrue. The pyramids are about 3000 yrs. old. The woolly mammoth died out about 4000 yrs. ago. They died 1000 years BEFORE the pyramids.
One thing that always upsets me when people try to figure out how the pyramids were built is that assertion that they carved out these _huge_ blocks by smashing little rocks repeatedly into them. The time involved in that kind of a technique would absolutely preclude that possibility, as they would have required a gigantic army of people (far too many to fit in all the quarries in Aswan) to produce blocks fast enough to have built the pyramids in 20 years time. I know it _seems_ like a conspiracy theory to believe that they had technology more advanced than rocks and copper chisels, but the evidence seems quite clear. The Ancient Egyptians were _way_ more advanced than we give them credit for. Consider how much weight these people placed on geometry, precision, craftsmanship. Their language is a lot more advanced than any other language at the time which we know of, and that hints at a _vastly_ greater intelligence than we give them credit for. The harsh conditions would also have destroyed most "soft" technology, like papyrus records or even string. There is a lot of advanced mathematics that one can do with nothing more than a straight edge and a string, actually, and their later obsession with measuring and dividing up lands into sections is well documented, and used no more advanced materials than chains and poles. They may have even had other "soft" technologies like this. Anything from glass blowing and electroplating of metals, to iron tools or basic wooden furniture, would _not_ have survived to even the Middle Kingdom period unless it was hidden in a Tomb. We forget, the Ancient Egyptians were as distant from the Middle Kingdom as those people were to the Late Kingdom, who were just as ancient to the Ancient Greeks, who were again as ancient to the Ancient Romans, who in turn just as ancient to the Medieval period, who are just as distant in time from us. This is _remarkably_ ancient stuff, here. Basically, I'm not saying aliens did it. What I'm saying is that modern Egyptology has the Egyptians pegged all wrong.
The problem is that we can only really do assumptions here. So even though it seems a bit unlikely that they used only the "smack stone on stone" technic to do these blocks, we don't have any evidence to back up anything else.
The Wheel was already invented in India (including Pakistan). The Epic of Mahabharat aka the Kurukshetra War (3,102 B.C.E) mentions about the Wheel, which was called "Kaal Chakra". They also had Aircraft at that time. Those aircraft in the Mahabharat were called "Vimana". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurukshetra_War According to the Mahabharat, 1.7 Billion people (including civilians) perished in the War. Central to the epic is the Bhagvad Gita that was revealed from Krishna to warrior Arjun during the war. The Mahabharat contains 200,000 verses, 2 Million words, and broken down into 18 books, originally written in Sanskrit language.
A technique to easily cut stones, especially ones of such incredible sizes was to wedge large pieces of wood between rocks and soak the wood with water. As the wood absorbs the water, it obviously expands and this exerts huge amounts of force on the rock as it cannot be compressed, causing the rock to be cut. This technique was used by many ancient civilizations. One other example of an ancient society that used this was Carthage. This process is faster and more efficient than just simply using chisels although I image that chisels were also involved, maybe for small touch ups and adjustments for the rocks to fit easier together.
There are many pieces of evidence coming up on the fact that we got ancient people all wrong, Gobekli tepe being one of many other, it wouldn't be that strange that people were more advanced as we thought and some kind of natural disaster (like a comet) sent us back in the stone age. Check out the Joe Rogan Experience #1124 - Robert Schoch
Mi Stein Yeah it is. It used to not be illegal but a lot of tourist died climbing back down. Climbing up is the easy part. Coming down , some of the stones are over 6ft high. To jump down that far is a risk as you might slip or the stone breaks off.
@@zzzarkka I tried in 89, it's relatively easy (at least forf me, I'm 6'4"), stones are 80-120 cm tall sometimes more... usually people climb a few of steps and get tired pretty fast. Even in april past 9-10 am it's already too hot there.
Yeah this is the most common modern theory. You'd need an ENORMOUS amount of laborers, there just wouldn't be enough skilled laborers for the whole thing, and slaves were abundant in ancient Egypt.
I totally agree, slaves probably did the hardest work of moving the rocks. Skilled workers stepped in to do the final placement and touching up as needed. Basically skilled workers would have been there acting as supervisors to the slaves. That's usually how things work, slaves do the hardest part of a job while everyone else above them does the easiest parts, if they do anything at all.
That appears to be the unfinished obelisk at the Aswan Quarry. Not sure why anyone is allowed into the ruins to smash a rock destroying over time the little evidence that we have to trace back our origins.
That actually makes me think of Easter Island. They cut down a ton of trees to make rollers to move the stone faces, and though there may have been a blight that destroyed many trees as well, it looks like they kind of hastened their downfall. On a low lying island, with no trees to anchor the topsoil, they weren’t able to grow crops as well, then at all. Then they hunted the game to extinction, then they kept using the tallest beat trees for rollers for that, and eventually... they were destroyed by their actions. Their zeal to appease and praise the high powers they felt loyalty to resumed in an avoidable death of a culture, or at least sped it up really well. If the gods help those who help themselves, well, they came unprepared, went to a measured battle of logic armed only with prayers and very skilled but starving carvers.
I never thought of that theory... Nice one. I was thinking they move the stones with sound. That how UFOs fly around too I believe.. good ol vibrations
Would be awesome to build a modern pyramid to represent how far we've come in our understanding of the universe, using advanced materials so it could potentially last quite a bit longer than the ones of Giza
I thought the rock in the pyramids were made out of carved stone, not concrete slabs? That said, wouldn't it depend on the materials used and the actual construction. Before I continue, I don't exactly mean we build another mountain of stone, but a structure, that's pyramid shaped and capable of withstanding a fair amount of time being battered by nature. Something that shows how we build things using the advances in metallurgy and material science in general. I mean, I wonder how a 2 inch sheet of carbon fibre around the whole thing would last. Eventually I can see that getting replaced with some kind of woven sheet of carbon nano tubes.
Ah, I picked it up as a rhetorical question, my bad. You seem to have missed the point in my original comment, the point wasn't to build it the same way as the Egyptians did with modern technology, I couldn't care less about how they did it. So I don't care for any points you make on the subject of building the same way they did. The point was, to build a completely unique structure, using our knowledge that we have now and design it so that it may last longer than the Pyramids of Giza. Something that represents how far we've come We wouldn't even need to have a completely solid structure, we could build it fairly light, using things like multi-layered graphene sheets (several inches thick should be good for some time) to cover the outside whilst having the inside climate controlled to help prevent things like the oxidation of any steel that may be used. You know, something like that.
Wouldn't you say that stone is the perfect material to use, if you wanted a structure to last for a long time? Do you think that by using our modern technology, we could build a replica of the Great Pyramid, but to an even greater standard?
Oh Yes AB! It's a great material sure, but there is better if you compare it's properties (though it does depend on the type of stone) to some materials (I don't necessarily mean concrete and steel, heck we could technically build one out of diamond assuming the foundation is sound enough to support such a structure) and why would we even build a replica?
What I found most interesting about pyramids is those projects are so costly that can easily ruin the kingdom budget, the wealth used could be used for agriculture or defence still they choose to do it but, then those projects thousands of year later brings a considerable amount of wealth to Egypt by tourism, a generation worked for a generation 5000 year later.
You could have also talked about the math and precision built into the pyramids. It's as hard to swallow as it is them mining granite by smashing rocks.
umirayet it may have repurposed as a tomb by the Egyptians when they found it, but plenty of info points to it not being the original intention of these structures.
Brolly D oh I’m not saying that’s not true, what I mean is aside from any additional functions, them being the original ones or not, pyramids were tombs.
You just got scammed by that bald man who said do you want to climb the pyramid...pyramid climbing Is actually illegal in Egypt😂..your lucky you got away
@@laserpoint3741 Yep, they were white and most likely had a gold top. The last polished white limestone have been taken off as late as 200 years ago, by an Egyptian king, to build a mosque for himself
I thought the copper saw theory had been debunked via Denys Stock's experiments. He used a 22lb copper saw with the method you described on granite. The max stone material he was able to remove was 2.7 mm of stone per hr and his saw lost 1lb of metal (5% of the saw) over 14 hours. Based on the numbers from real testing it would take 6,200 hours of cutting simply to make one sarcophagus. Not to mention all the other stones used in the pyramids...
Note, that is only for the exterior cuts of a sarcophagus, not the interior.. Using our most modern technology with diamond tipped drag saws we can currently achieve cutting rates of 42 mm/minute. 933x faster than a copper saw. This means it would take modern humans just under 7 hours to cut the exterior of one sarcophagus. That's a pretty far cry from 24 hrs/day for 233 days of the ancient Egyptians... For ONE 9x5x6' block.
Very good info, thank you. I find it odd that the video author referenced "lost technology" as a "conspiracy theory". Obviously it's lost technology if we still can't figure it out! It doesn't mean it has to be some sci-fi anti-gravitation device or whatever BS one can find on the internet. My guess, based on nothing really, is that they had some kind of technique that utilized water and possibly chemicals in cutting or casting the stones. Quarrying the stone might have taken a lot longer than the construction itself.
Wooden wedges and water would be my tool of choice. If you chisel out a bunch of notches, drive wood wedges into them and then saturate the wood, as it expands it forces the stone apart. You can also use a cylindrical drill and wooden pegs.
02:00 - "The Egyptian's didn't know about wheels..." Except the pieces of Old Kingdom chariots that they have found dating to the same dynasty as the very first pyramid built in Egypt, the Pyramid of Djoser.
Yea I find it hard to believe the didnt know about wheels when they had such advanced trigonomics and crafty water pumps and levelling systems. Pretty sure even apes can understand the concept of a wheel. Perhaps the problem is that wheels dont work so well in sand.
Those tour guides are absolute scammers. They have no right to charge you anything to climab it because it’s illegal to climb the pyramids, and their rates for foreigners are 10 times what they are for locals
Personally I think people underestimate the power of the assembly line. Although one stone would have to placed every three minutes, that would be reduced by having more than one group placing at a time. For instance, for cutting the stone, 3 minutes per stone seems impossible however, if you have 20 people cutting stones, they would only have to cut one per hour and that would equal 1 stone per 3 minutes. The only problem then is the number of people required to achieve it is absolutely enormous, but definitely possible. This is why the pyramid represented the greatness of the pharoh who built it. It would take a very successful rule to be able to afford to keep the immense force paid for the the amount of time it took.
TheLeftLibertarianAtheist They definitely had techniques and technologies lost to time, but I don't think alien technology is required. Humans are clever animals.
bassisku Of course, I was just saying how fast the '3 minutes' inflates once you start having people work together :) Crazy or dedicated, I guess ones point of view would decide which one is accurate.
Richard Smith Assuming that the block weighed about 2 metric tonnes, about 20 men is required to lift it into its place, based on the "dragging and lifting them into place"-hypothesis. Even with half of the work force, 1,000 block would be putted into position simultaneously.

What if they didn’t need to BUILD any separate ramps at all? What if they started from the bottom, and build it up with a ledge in a spiral shape, and slowly filled it out until it was a complete pyramid
the pyramids are WAY too steep to be able to carry a limestone rock weighing hundreds of kilos on it. You would struggle just walking up the stairs let alone the straight ramp it was before. You'd literally just slip down even without the giant rock you're lugging around behind you.
@@Caaro99 I don’t think you understood what I meant. I don’t mean dragging them straight up the side. But if they were to build it up in a spiral shape with a very shallow slope, you can build up they pyramid by using that built in ramp as you built it. Even as you filled in that ramp, you can at the same time built outward and maintain it until you’re finished. I’m not really explaining what I see very well, it’s really hard to put into words. In simpler words, you can built the pyramid in a certain shape and chronological order that creates an internal ramp that would require 0 extra resources, in contrast to an external one
@@vinnycontini10 Nice, but how do you do the outside without leaving a shallow spiral? I think you're probably right, but for the last few layers they used some extra resources to make a temporary shallow spiral which was removed on completion. And possibly, in the interior they may have used a little extra resources to build up the ramp a little so they wouldn't damage existing blocks by hauling new blocks straight over them.

@@thecure4470 the pyramids at Giza specifically were built for pharaoh khufu, and if you wanna know why there’s so little writing from the older days of Egypt it’s bc Egypt is one of the most ancient civilizations it lasted for nearly 3000 years and it was first unified back in 3100 BCE, nearly 5000 years ago!

It blows my mind that some of the people who live in Egypt today are direct descendants of the people who built them. Yet the knowledge of how they were built has been lost while the pyramids themselves have stood for all that time. Wouldn’t somebody, somewhere have thought “I’m proud of that achievement so I’m going to write down how we did it.” It’s as astonishing as the pyramids themselves.
After that many generations, chances are very good, that you yourself are a direct descendant of someone that built the pyramids. I would even say it's absolutely certain you are. Thinking about it that way the pyramids truly became a testimony of humankind.

The guys at ubisoft really took the time to detail the interiors and everything, it is quite incredible how much it matches the real deal. Except the height, they got it bloody wrong
I think height of the pyramid is true in the game,due to angle of the pyramid game says like around 190-200m from ground to top of the structure but actual height is less than 150m.
The Great Pyramids latitude is 29.9792458°N, the same as the speed of light. Take the radius of the earth, divide by 10 000 000 multiply by 360 and we have the width of The Great Pyramid. The diameter of the circle round the outside of the footprint of the pyramid minus the one on the inner gives a result also very close to the speed of light. The number of arc seconds in the slope, is ~186 624, same as the speed of light in miles per second, which is also 432^2 (sun radius = ~432 000 miles). width to height is a 4/sqrt(phi) proportion, which also shows phi and pi and interconnects them. Somehow the pyramids interconnect the dimensions of earth moon and sun. The builders of the pyramids knew lots more than we dare to admit.
***** the height is 1/11 a mile, too. Whaddaya know, 360 000 x 365.25 (days in a year) = the nr of feet in earths circumference. 2520*pi is nr of miles in earths diameter. if 1 cubit is 1/10 000 000 earths radius, a mile is 2520 cubits. The diameter of moon+earth is 10080, which is 2520*4 The proportions of moon to earth are 3 to 11. Now, the difference in proportion between the pyramid width to 2x the height is 11 to 14, which resonates with those proportions. The same proportions cause phi and pi to arise in the great pyramid its geometry. What'd ya know, whoever made the mids, the earth, the moon and the sun must be super-intelligent by the extreme unlikeliness of these figures being a coincidence.
we don't control the units quite much, they are based on natural dimensions. A meter is 1/40 000 000 the earths circumference. A mile is the speed of light is 432^2 per second (the second is also not arbitrary, set at 24*60^2) or alternatively earths diameter as 2520*pi. The major metric systems are based on the (nearly) absolute dimensions of the earth moon and sun. The center of Babylons temple is on 32 Degrees, 32 Arc Mins and 32 Arc seconds.

The arm of the resistant force "F2 = Gt ( tangential component of the weight of the stone block) + Ff (friction force given by the weight of the stone block on the sled") is b2 = 1 m, can pull closer and closer on the "main inner mobile ramp" inclined at 26.5° [~ 1,24 m.

First, I love this channel and your videos, but in this case… I think you’re missing some obvious questions, like: how would pounding dolorite on granite produce such fine and thin cuts and/or the perfect angles that are evident all over (like the granite lids underground in bedrock chambers)… One of the thin cuts was shown behind you in a frame or two when you did the dolorite demonstration. Dolorite and / or copper tools with sand as grit just doesn’t add up.
First is they are less "perfect" than you assume. Look at pictures of the Great Pyramid from a distance = it appears "clean". Now look at ones of it close up = note the obvious imperfections. Thus your brain plays tricks with your eyes all the time via "filling in the blanks" when you observe something from a distance. Next is dolerite and fire was used to obtain workable shapes from the bedrock = blocks or obelisks. Those in turn were then finished using other tools - copper/gneiss stone tools and polishing using abrasives such as corundum or sand. You must also take in account "dating" as well. Egyptian sites were destroyed + cannibalized for raw materials to build other things. Thus if you see a picture of say a block with saw marks in it you can not assume they date to when the temple or whatever was built as they could just as easily reflect work centuries later - using iron tools - where someone was cutting up a destroyed temple for stone to make something else. Last point. Granite sarcophagi as but one example date back to at least Djoser's time. Also not just Pharaohs had stone sarcophagi. There was a huge economy in ancient Egypt around burial items. Egyptologists have unearthed underground caches at Saqqara which contained mummified animals for burial or offerings - literally millions of them. There was a huge industry built around fabricating things which spanned millennia. So stone quarries might have partially completed or entirely completed sarcophagi on hand having started work on them previously awaiting some customer. Do not assume they began to make these things only on demand.
@@varyolla435 That is popular theory since there are no tools found on sites. Many precise cuts cant be explained by that theory, and it would take hundred years for one polished sarcophagus to be made. And there are objects (granite sarcophagi, vases, cups) with visible machining marks and so precisely made that only recently in our history did we have tools to measure them accurately. Maybe some vases would be possible to be made with hands but it would take 50-100 years and still wouldn't explain machining marks, since pounding and polishing stones with abrasive doesn't produce those.
Hammering would be a bulk material removal process. You remove most of the material by pounding because it's relatively fast. Then you do fine finishing with abrasives. That is easily enough to get the precision of the sarcophagi, which are not nearly as precise as you think they are. This method of imprecise bulk material removal followed by precise finishing is common in virtually all subtractive manufacturing processes, from those done today, all the way back for thousands of years.

I love that these pyramids are too big to be destroyed. They can be weathered but no empire could take apart the pyramids. It would take considerably more effort to destroy it than building it.

What I found most interesting about pyramids is those projects are so costly that can easily ruin the kingdom budget, the wealth used could be used for agriculture or defence still they choose to do it but, then those projects thousands of year later brings a considerable amount of wealth to Egypt by tourism, a generation worked for a generation 5000 year later.
hmm.
well if you didn't know they actually made pyramids to be tombs for the pharaohs that is why is worked really hard day and night on it and there are lots of pyramids scattered around Egypt and every one of them had the purpose to be a tomb and a place to protect the pharaoh's body from the tomb thieves as they wanted to enter the tombs to take the gold and resources left in them that is the reason they made pyramids.

@@VykingVale so in other words blacks built the pyramid so the brows people can benefit thousand of years after??
The Egyptians used an analog 3D printer to build the pyramids.
+zerospin As valid a theory as lifting blocks weighing tons by hand :)
Zyklon - Drake. I'm not sure exactly why you think that is implausible, considering the fact that it only takes 3 people to move an average sized limestone block (with respect to the Great Pyramid) with a sled and a bucket of water. Several people have demonstrated it on youtube. The larger blocks, weighing 6-10 tonnes, only require you to increase the number of workers. Again, we can do it today without any modern tools, contrary to the lie told in basically every "Pyramid Mystery" documentary, which always claim that our cranes can't lift the largest stone (which is only true because we don't make 20 tonne counter weights to keep the crane from tipping over, because we don't use massive stones for our modern buildings). Questioning the time it took to build the pyramid is perfectly reasonable, or the method by which they transported stones to the upper levels. There was actually an internal ramp found not long after this video was made that you might find interesting. But the idea that they couldn't possibly have lifted the stones is pure nonsense. We know for a fact that they could do it, because they drew pictures of themselves doing it in the tombs of the architects who designed them. We have the sleds they used, the tools they cut the stone with, and even a ramp now (albeit internal, as part of the pyramid's structure). Not to mention the massive work camps excavated around the pyramids, complete with the workers tools, chisels, sleds and so on.

Most slaves in Egypt didn't have Egyptain burial. Perhaps the ones that they considered worthy yes...
They know how they got the stones from that specific quarry how...? If we don't have documents about this? Did I miss something? What says there weren't closer quarries back then?
Ramps found....so concrete evidence. Or STONE evidence .. 😅 I remember learning how the pyramids eere made in Middle school in the 90s. I think it was one of the first times I learned what I was taught as fact was only theory, not "proven without a reasonable doubt." But now everything is so muddled that could be it was well known as fact and people are too hungry for other explanations.Though like many ancient cultures, especially ones with pyramid structures...the Egyptians seemed to worship what could've been fallen angels or even Nephalim. Perhaps after being given certain knowledge and/or technology etc.
Don't forget...in anthropological terms a ramp IS technology. And if we don't know plans of the pyramids I'd like to know more about their theory that no wheels were invented yet, considering wheels could've been made of materials that might weather away faster...what about their chariots etc ..when were those made vs the pyramids? Seems pretty inconsistent to me. Carbon dating isn't super accurate either most times in ancient history...the further back we go so makes one wonder. 🤔

DauntingDays Completely untrue. The pyramids are about 3000 yrs. old. The woolly mammoth died out about 4000 yrs. ago. They died 1000 years BEFORE the pyramids.
***** 2500bc roughly actually which is 4500 years ago
***** Pyramids are much older than 3000 years.
The wheel WAS invented long before the pyramids.
Axel Bengtsson Yeah, but what about the wheel and axle?
One thing that always upsets me when people try to figure out how the pyramids were built is that assertion that they carved out these _huge_ blocks by smashing little rocks repeatedly into them. The time involved in that kind of a technique would absolutely preclude that possibility, as they would have required a gigantic army of people (far too many to fit in all the quarries in Aswan) to produce blocks fast enough to have built the pyramids in 20 years time.
I know it _seems_ like a conspiracy theory to believe that they had technology more advanced than rocks and copper chisels, but the evidence seems quite clear. The Ancient Egyptians were _way_ more advanced than we give them credit for. Consider how much weight these people placed on geometry, precision, craftsmanship. Their language is a lot more advanced than any other language at the time which we know of, and that hints at a _vastly_ greater intelligence than we give them credit for.
The harsh conditions would also have destroyed most "soft" technology, like papyrus records or even string. There is a lot of advanced mathematics that one can do with nothing more than a straight edge and a string, actually, and their later obsession with measuring and dividing up lands into sections is well documented, and used no more advanced materials than chains and poles. They may have even had other "soft" technologies like this. Anything from glass blowing and electroplating of metals, to iron tools or basic wooden furniture, would _not_ have survived to even the Middle Kingdom period unless it was hidden in a Tomb. We forget, the Ancient Egyptians were as distant from the Middle Kingdom as those people were to the Late Kingdom, who were just as ancient to the Ancient Greeks, who were again as ancient to the Ancient Romans, who in turn just as ancient to the Medieval period, who are just as distant in time from us. This is _remarkably_ ancient stuff, here.
Basically, I'm not saying aliens did it. What I'm saying is that modern Egyptology has the Egyptians pegged all wrong.
The problem is that we can only really do assumptions here. So even though it seems a bit unlikely that they used only the "smack stone on stone" technic to do these blocks, we don't have any evidence to back up anything else.
We don't have much evidence to back up any statement at all.
The Wheel was already invented in India (including Pakistan). The Epic of Mahabharat aka the Kurukshetra War (3,102 B.C.E) mentions about the Wheel, which was called "Kaal Chakra". They also had Aircraft at that time. Those aircraft in the Mahabharat were called "Vimana". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurukshetra_War According to the Mahabharat, 1.7 Billion people (including civilians) perished in the War. Central to the epic is the Bhagvad Gita that was revealed from Krishna to warrior Arjun during the war. The Mahabharat contains 200,000 verses, 2 Million words, and broken down into 18 books, originally written in Sanskrit language.
A technique to easily cut stones, especially ones of such incredible sizes was to wedge large pieces of wood between rocks and soak the wood with water. As the wood absorbs the water, it obviously expands and this exerts huge amounts of force on the rock as it cannot be compressed, causing the rock to be cut. This technique was used by many ancient civilizations. One other example of an ancient society that used this was Carthage. This process is faster and more efficient than just simply using chisels although I image that chisels were also involved, maybe for small touch ups and adjustments for the rocks to fit easier together.
There are many pieces of evidence coming up on the fact that we got ancient people all wrong, Gobekli tepe being one of many other, it wouldn't be that strange that people were more advanced as we thought and some kind of natural disaster (like a comet) sent us back in the stone age.

Pyramids werent built with slaves
I totally agree, slaves probably did the hardest work of moving the rocks. Skilled workers stepped in to do the final placement and touching up as needed. Basically skilled workers would have been there acting as supervisors to the slaves. That's usually how things work, slaves do the hardest part of a job while everyone else above them does the easiest parts, if they do anything at all.

That actually makes me think of Easter Island. They cut down a ton of trees to make rollers to move the stone faces, and though there may have been a blight that destroyed many trees as well, it looks like they kind of hastened their downfall. On a low lying island, with no trees to anchor the topsoil, they weren’t able to grow crops as well, then at all. Then they hunted the game to extinction, then they kept using the tallest beat trees for rollers for that, and eventually... they were destroyed by their actions. Their zeal to appease and praise the high powers they felt loyalty to resumed in an avoidable death of a culture, or at least sped it up really well.
If the gods help those who help themselves, well, they came unprepared, went to a measured battle of logic armed only with prayers and very skilled but starving carvers.

Pov: You went here just to see that comment from a meme.
Ohh yes😂
Would be awesome to build a modern pyramid to represent how far we've come in our understanding of the universe, using advanced materials so it could potentially last quite a bit longer than the ones of Giza
lol all of our modern pyramids went nowhere close to be as good as the ones made in the past,they will always be the best
I thought the rock in the pyramids were made out of carved stone, not concrete slabs?
That said, wouldn't it depend on the materials used and the actual construction. Before I continue, I don't exactly mean we build another mountain of stone, but a structure, that's pyramid shaped and capable of withstanding a fair amount of time being battered by nature.
Something that shows how we build things using the advances in metallurgy and material science in general.
I mean, I wonder how a 2 inch sheet of carbon fibre around the whole thing would last. Eventually I can see that getting replaced with some kind of woven sheet of carbon nano tubes.
Ah, I picked it up as a rhetorical question, my bad.
You seem to have missed the point in my original comment, the point wasn't to build it the same way as the Egyptians did with modern technology, I couldn't care less about how they did it. So I don't care for any points you make on the subject of building the same way they did.
The point was, to build a completely unique structure, using our knowledge that we have now and design it so that it may last longer than the Pyramids of Giza. Something that represents how far we've come
We wouldn't even need to have a completely solid structure, we could build it fairly light, using things like multi-layered graphene sheets (several inches thick should be good for some time) to cover the outside whilst having the inside climate controlled to help prevent things like the oxidation of any steel that may be used. You know, something like that.
Wouldn't you say that stone is the perfect material to use, if you wanted a structure to last for a long time? Do you think that by using our modern technology, we could build a replica of the Great Pyramid, but to an even greater standard?
Oh Yes AB! It's a great material sure, but there is better if you compare it's properties (though it does depend on the type of stone) to some materials (I don't necessarily mean concrete and steel, heck we could technically build one out of diamond assuming the foundation is sound enough to support such a structure) and why would we even build a replica?

You could have also talked about the math and precision built into the pyramids. It's as hard to swallow as it is them mining granite by smashing rocks.

Also the pyramid isn’t even a tomb. It’s function is still unknown.
Phil1608 i think its more like isn’t only a tomb and that it could have more unknown functions
umirayet it may have repurposed as a tomb by the Egyptians when they found it, but plenty of info points to it not being the original intention of these structures.

I thought the copper saw theory had been debunked via Denys Stock's experiments. He used a 22lb copper saw with the method you described on granite. The max stone material he was able to remove was 2.7 mm of stone per hr and his saw lost 1lb of metal (5% of the saw) over 14 hours. Based on the numbers from real testing it would take 6,200 hours of cutting simply to make one sarcophagus. Not to mention all the other stones used in the pyramids...
Note, that is only for the exterior cuts of a sarcophagus, not the interior.. Using our most modern technology with diamond tipped drag saws we can currently achieve cutting rates of 42 mm/minute. 933x faster than a copper saw. This means it would take modern humans just under 7 hours to cut the exterior of one sarcophagus. That's a pretty far cry from 24 hrs/day for 233 days of the ancient Egyptians... For ONE 9x5x6' block.
Very good info, thank you. I find it odd that the video author referenced "lost technology" as a "conspiracy theory". Obviously it's lost technology if we still can't figure it out! It doesn't mean it has to be some sci-fi anti-gravitation device or whatever BS one can find on the internet. My guess, based on nothing really, is that they had some kind of technique that utilized water and possibly chemicals in cutting or casting the stones. Quarrying the stone might have taken a lot longer than the construction itself.
Wooden wedges and water would be my tool of choice. If you chisel out a bunch of notches, drive wood wedges into them and then saturate the wood, as it expands it forces the stone apart. You can also use a cylindrical drill and wooden pegs.
An abrasive may help cut the rock but it also wears away the copper, which must have been scarce and expensive.
It would have been a copper alloy probably using bronze, tin, potentially silver and other metals available at the time
Thank you for the motion sickness 20 seconds into the video. Will watch some other video to find out.

Personally I think people underestimate the power of the assembly line. Although one stone would have to placed every three minutes, that would be reduced by having more than one group placing at a time.
For instance, for cutting the stone, 3 minutes per stone seems impossible however, if you have 20 people cutting stones, they would only have to cut one per hour and that would equal 1 stone per 3 minutes.
The only problem then is the number of people required to achieve it is absolutely enormous, but definitely possible. This is why the pyramid represented the greatness of the pharoh who built it. It would take a very successful rule to be able to afford to keep the immense force paid for the the amount of time it took.
Consider then that the Egyptians had a work force of 40,000 slaves.
TheLeftLibertarianAtheist They definitely had techniques and technologies lost to time, but I don't think alien technology is required. Humans are clever animals.
It was the whole nation doing work for them... not 20 people.
Anything is possible if you're crazy enough.
bassisku Of course, I was just saying how fast the '3 minutes' inflates once you start having people work together :)
Crazy or dedicated, I guess ones point of view would decide which one is accurate.
Richard Smith Assuming that the block weighed about 2 metric tonnes, about 20 men is required to lift it into its place, based on the "dragging and lifting them into place"-hypothesis. Even with half of the work force, 1,000 block would be putted into position simultaneously.

What if they didn’t need to BUILD any separate ramps at all? What if they started from the bottom, and build it up with a ledge in a spiral shape, and slowly filled it out until it was a complete pyramid
Or what if they started from the top 🤔
@@omnacky
Lol
the pyramids are WAY too steep to be able to carry a limestone rock weighing hundreds of kilos on it. You would struggle just walking up the stairs let alone the straight ramp it was before. You'd literally just slip down even without the giant rock you're lugging around behind you.
@@Caaro99 I don’t think you understood what I meant. I don’t mean dragging them straight up the side. But if they were to build it up in a spiral shape with a very shallow slope, you can build up they pyramid by using that built in ramp as you built it. Even as you filled in that ramp, you can at the same time built outward and maintain it until you’re finished. I’m not really explaining what I see very well, it’s really hard to put into words. In simpler words, you can built the pyramid in a certain shape and chronological order that creates an internal ramp that would require 0 extra resources, in contrast to an external one
@@vinnycontini10 Nice, but how do you do the outside without leaving a shallow spiral? I think you're probably right, but for the last few layers they used some extra resources to make a temporary shallow spiral which was removed on completion. And possibly, in the interior they may have used a little extra resources to build up the ramp a little so they wouldn't damage existing blocks by hauling new blocks straight over them.
Imagine how beautiful it would be if the marble flat exterior was still there...

The Great Pyramids latitude is 29.9792458°N, the same as the speed of light. Take the radius of the earth, divide by 10 000 000 multiply by 360 and we have the width of The Great Pyramid. The diameter of the circle round the outside of the footprint of the pyramid minus the one on the inner gives a result also very close to the speed of light. The number of arc seconds in the slope, is ~186 624, same as the speed of light in miles per second, which is also 432^2 (sun radius = ~432 000 miles).
width to height is a 4/sqrt(phi) proportion, which also shows phi and pi and interconnects them. Somehow the pyramids interconnect the dimensions of earth moon and sun. The builders of the pyramids knew lots more than we dare to admit.
It would make sense that super intelligent egyptians knew of the metric system , but the "mile" seriously ?!
But we control the latitude and longitude and the units we measure speed in so your thing collapses
As stated in vsauce's video
***** the height is 1/11 a mile, too.
Whaddaya know, 360 000 x 365.25 (days in a year) = the nr of feet in earths circumference.
2520*pi is nr of miles in earths diameter. if 1 cubit is 1/10 000 000 earths radius, a mile is 2520 cubits. The diameter of moon+earth is 10080, which is 2520*4
The proportions of moon to earth are 3 to 11. Now, the difference in proportion between the pyramid width to 2x the height is 11 to 14, which resonates with those proportions. The same proportions cause phi and pi to arise in the great pyramid its geometry.
What'd ya know, whoever made the mids, the earth, the moon and the sun must be super-intelligent by the extreme unlikeliness of these figures being a coincidence.
we don't control the units quite much, they are based on natural dimensions. A meter is 1/40 000 000 the earths circumference. A mile is the speed of light is 432^2 per second (the second is also not arbitrary, set at 24*60^2) or alternatively earths diameter as 2520*pi. The major metric systems are based on the (nearly) absolute dimensions of the earth moon and sun. The center of Babylons temple is on 32 Degrees, 32 Arc Mins and 32 Arc seconds. Latitude is by definition not controlled.
Naturally there are small discrepancies, but the accuracy of the alignments are far beyond coincidence and thus indicate very high intelligence, especially for what we have credited to ancient civilizations.

Read the book ” The secrets of building the Great Pyramid of Egypt ” , on the website www.thegreatpyramidofegypt.com On a 26.5° inclined "main inner mobile ramp" located in the "central channel" of the Great Gallery, about 150 workers with the help of a system of traction levers of order 2 with a height of 5 m in which the active force arm "F1 of workers" is b1 = 5 m . The arm of the resistant force "F2 = Gt ( tangential component of the weight of the stone block) + Ff (friction force given by the weight of the stone block on the sled") is b2 = 1 m, can pull closer and closer on the "main inner mobile ramp" inclined at 26.5° [~ 1,24 m. (distance traveled by b2) X 70 elevations = 87 m. (40 m. length of ascending passage + 47 m. length the "central channel" of the Great Gallery)] a stone block of 60 tons in an "elementary" simple and easy way up to a height of 43 m. for the construction of the King's Chamber. In this case on the " main inner mobile ramp " the lever of order 2 serves to multiply by 5 times the workers traction active force of F1.

First, I love this channel and your videos, but in this case… I think you’re missing some obvious questions, like: how would pounding dolorite on granite produce such fine and thin cuts and/or the perfect angles that are evident all over (like the granite lids underground in bedrock chambers)… One of the thin cuts was shown behind you in a frame or two when you did the dolorite demonstration. Dolorite and / or copper tools with sand as grit just doesn’t add up.
First is they are less "perfect" than you assume. Look at pictures of the Great Pyramid from a distance = it appears "clean". Now look at ones of it close up = note the obvious imperfections. Thus your brain plays tricks with your eyes all the time via "filling in the blanks" when you observe something from a distance.
Next is dolerite and fire was used to obtain workable shapes from the bedrock = blocks or obelisks. Those in turn were then finished using other tools - copper/gneiss stone tools and polishing using abrasives such as corundum or sand. You must also take in account "dating" as well. Egyptian sites were destroyed + cannibalized for raw materials to build other things. Thus if you see a picture of say a block with saw marks in it you can not assume they date to when the temple or whatever was built as they could just as easily reflect work centuries later - using iron tools - where someone was cutting up a destroyed temple for stone to make something else.
Last point. Granite sarcophagi as but one example date back to at least Djoser's time. Also not just Pharaohs had stone sarcophagi. There was a huge economy in ancient Egypt around burial items. Egyptologists have unearthed underground caches at Saqqara which contained mummified animals for burial or offerings - literally millions of them. There was a huge industry built around fabricating things which spanned millennia. So stone quarries might have partially completed or entirely completed sarcophagi on hand having started work on them previously awaiting some customer. Do not assume they began to make these things only on demand.
@@varyolla435 That is popular theory since there are no tools found on sites. Many precise cuts cant be explained by that theory, and it would take hundred years for one polished sarcophagus to be made. And there are objects (granite sarcophagi, vases, cups) with visible machining marks and so precisely made that only recently in our history did we have tools to measure them accurately. Maybe some vases would be possible to be made with hands but it would take 50-100 years and still wouldn't explain machining marks, since pounding and polishing stones with abrasive doesn't produce those.
@@Pukovnik141 Wrong on all accounts. So much for "internet claims". Dig deeper.
Hammering would be a bulk material removal process. You remove most of the material by pounding because it's relatively fast. Then you do fine finishing with abrasives. That is easily enough to get the precision of the sarcophagi, which are not nearly as precise as you think they are.
This method of imprecise bulk material removal followed by precise finishing is common in virtually all subtractive manufacturing processes, from those done today, all the way back for thousands of years.
@@Pukovnik141 You are pulling numbers completely out of thin air. Usually the advanced ancient technology theorists don't quantify their claims, so at least you've made a bit of progress.
We are not giving Egyptians the credit they deserve. Not only did they have the wheel. They had steam boats, electric stone cutters and delicious burgers. Absolute fact
Egyptians didn't built the pyramids tho
Surely it was aliens..
+Illuminati yup m9, like why r the rocks in the top older than the bottom
i agree, i believe in aliens and god
Sam Zeynoun aight m8. You see right, aliens built the pyramids right, with da halp of the illuminati masters. They r so well built dat we cant build them today right. And the pyramids r aligned with da stars that the illuminati masters live in.
+Sam Zeynoun Do you know where I can get an application
from what people tell me the Illuminate sound like the organisation to belong to .
+Illuminati IT WAS A GIANTS THEY FOUND ALREADY A GIANTS BONES !!!! BEFORE A HUMANS many pyramides was in MOON, MARS , etc etc becouse PYRAMIDES IS DEFENCE SYSTEM vs ASTEROIDS, METEORITS, METEORS !!!! remember what i say !!! ATLEAST WE ARE NOT ALONE ON PLANET
See guys? I told you they were made of limestone.
BruceWillakers Omg, hai!
BruceWillakers Scarlet Blade (Played it for the Plot) is more educational than this .
BruceWillakers limestone on the insides he said. The outer stones are still Granite. So the pyramids are built with granites is more correct.
LotusEater Built with limestone is more correct, considering the majority of the pyramid was made with limestone, was coated with white limestone, and the most material used was limestone. Granite was only used to cover the outside.
*****
thats what he said in the video but after reading... limestone was used more than granite so yes.
They were made small, then they used doremon's big light.
