They're also SUPER close to Cairo, like. Not out in the middle of a random desert. They're also part of a larger necropolis, with other structures all around it.
I know, isn't it awesome?
+CJ May Technically they're in Cairo, within a circle of desert a few square miles in size that is completely surrounded by the city. There are a few other small ruins surrounding the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx showing that there was some kind of large temple structure covering most of the nearby area, but not much of it is left.
+CJ May
Yeah, pretty mysterious - I mean, what are the chances of a population settling next to a river, instead in the middle of a random desert.
+CJ May Went to a Pizza Hut
looked out the window
"oh look the Great Pyramids"
duuuuuh
So...they _were_ full of traps and tripwires that needed to be dodged by Indiana Jones wannabes...?
+BionicDance and by traps they mean that once the chamber door was closed it could not be opened by the tomb riders because there were massive logs that fell in holes on the ground and barricaded the tomb
+Hyper Fan Taim
Well, it's not trapdoor pits with spikes at the bottom, but I guess it'll do.
+BionicDance Just roll around like Sonic in Darksouls 2
+BionicDance what would the snakes eat for all those centuries?
+Shanee Bahera
The souls of unbaptized babies. Obviously.
7 misconceptions we assume you have about the pyramids
They were also used for storing stargates and recharge points for orbiting spaceships.
but...they're still giant space ships, like in Star-Gate.... right??
+thick MclargeHuge dont be ridiculous they are landing pad for the alien motherships
+Shanee Bahera Glad to know someone knows the history of SG-1.
im more of a fan of sg atlantis tho
Loel Star universe ftw. No I kid Im die hard SG-1
I liked all of em, but SG-1 was the best. Atlantis was awesome too, Universe was good, but had no conclusion. So sad for us.
9. The Egyptians learned from their mistakes. The earlier pyramids taught them about foundations, force loads and building materials.There are several failed pyramids.
@Charles Carpenter What utter nonsense
Besides what the actual content of the video is, i just gotta say that i like this format a lot more than that annoying typewriter shit, or just some random guy doing awkward hand gestures with occasional clipart.
Nice job guys!
Bill Cypher?
gravity falls theme
Also, the Great Pyramid is so old that Cleopatra was born closer to modern times than to when that pyramid was built.
Heck, nearly any event you've heard of in human history that occurred outside of the greater Middle East region (and possibly China), occurred closer to modern times than to the building of the largest pyramids.
I wasn't wrong about any of these things... Funny how that works out...
+Jenny Tokumei
Awesome Volto...
wow so special
the only one I didn't know was the first one, and I wasn't surprised by it
I feel like the "Pyramids stored grain" thing came from too many people taking the Civ games literally
I was expect Bill Cypher to show up
XD same
Awesome video. More of these please. No misleading title and fun and informative.
+killerpixel2k3 well misleading in some way assuming the majority didnt know. this is the first time i ever heard how wrong some people are.
+Ingo Nikot true. But I was referring to the titles of some cracked videos where the content is completely different from the title
This felt a lot like mentalfloss content. That's meant as a positive observation.
+killerpixel2k3 No, the title was misleading. I knew most of these facts long before clicking on the video.
Yeah at least it pretty much did what it said on the tin
There's also a wall painting that suggests they used a wet sand technique to skate along the sand.
"Everyone is wrong. Truth is an illusion." - Am I the only one that thought of Bill Cipher?
who is bill Cypher?
+Taylor Smith The main villain from Gravity Falls.
+Bill Cipher Don't worry. Villain or not you are still my hero
"Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold bye."
+Brickhouse333
Is this Word written for no reason? "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure. Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of Yahweh Tsvaoth. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you."
May all of you be blessed in the truth... those who have not chosen to make a covenant with death and believe that lies will conceal you. Truth is no illusion. It is worth living, suffering and dying for.
Cracked videos aren't that bad, but It's hilarious that Cracked hasn't realized yet how awful and condescending the titles of their videos are.
the title is designed to make you click on it, it's clever
+Bronte Temple I guess it makes some people click on it, but it does the opposite to me. Another awful title of theirs is: "How Batman vs. Superman failed on every level". Really cracked, it failed on EVERY level? If it literally failed on every level, then the movie wouldn't have even been in focus
Clickbait is effective.
+MatthewLedZepfan They REALLY don't like being told their titles are clickbait, though. Cody had a huge go at me on twitter for saying this despite the fact some of their video titles are more desperate than buzzfeed articles.
frankly, their titles are what they are. they never bugged me.
So we're all just gonna sit here and pretend like there wasn't an Eye on that Pyramid. DO I have to spell it. Pyramid has 7 letters, Cracked has Seven letters, 7 divided by 7 is 1, There is one eye on the pyramid, therefore cracked is Illuminati Confirmed.

"You're the worst, and the answer is man!"
Too good.
+Chandler Hull yeah, that really gave me a chuckle... it took a second or two for me to pick up on "the answer is man" as it'd been awhile since I'd heard that old riddle... but it was a nice slightly delayed reaction...
It's a shame this is the only comment referencing this because it was my favorite part of the video.
Sources would be nice
+fispaul lmgtfy.com/?q=How+were+the+pyramids+built%3F
+Chris Hinton Incorrect use. He wanted their citations, not to do research on it himself to confirm it.
+Trash Master9000 Incorrect assumption. I'm suggesting the person in question does their own research rather than look to Cracked as a reliable or meaningful source of information on any given topic.
fispaul Read the article that corresponds to this video and they supply all their sources this is just a video to get you interested in reading their articles.
Now imagine if all that was written on screen.
Do you now not realize how much better it is to have a person speak to the audience instead of covering the whole screen in texts?
"everybody is wrong, Truth is an illusion"... that is Bill Cypher intentionally or not...?
I.......think so
+David Duarte I waiting for him to say "buy gold"
It's Weirdmageddon!!!
How am I wrong? I never made any of these claims.
+Sheldon Jones You know what you did.
I wasn't wrong. You were wrong about me being wrong.
People think pyramids stored grains? ugh
***** I... I can't... [cringes]
+d00m92 I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be "brain surgeon", with actual quotation marks. Like when you're calling your dumb friend a "brain surgeon"
+Alexander Wahlgren if only that was true :D
+Alexander Wahlgren
Only, he *actually is* a brain surgeon-- though anyone with a basic understanding of neuroscience (literally go watch an hour of CrashCourse on YT) can tell you that, while he can perform surgery on the brain rather well, he doesn't seem to actually know jack shit about neuroscience (I mean, he believes in spirits/souls, which we have known for some time are not neuroscientifically justifiable, and are totally unnecessary for biology). Additionally, he's participated in the same research that he has himself called out as unethical (evidently thinking no one would notice; they did).
He's an imbecile and an asshole to boot-- and the current crop of Republican candidates all are worse people.
at least the monk from the 9th century had an excuse because we hadn't un sealed and explored any yet. so he gets a pass, Ben Carson on the other hand...someone give the man a history text book please.
+Digiquill I shook my head and said he better drop out of the race. The rest of the world would laugh us into oblivion if he got elected..granaries...what the hell ..
+AmaranteStryfe Still wasn't the worst person in the race. They'll be laughing anyway.
+dahelmang unless Hilary gets elected. someone will probably nuke us preemptively if that happens.
+Digiquill As a non-American, people outside America are more likely to respond adversely to Trump. People find him very scary, he represents the self-centrism, warmongering, and Xenophobia people dislike America for. Hilary isn't as different as some people like to pretend but a lot of people don't know about her policies at all and would probably just be glad it isn't toupee doomsday.
+KawaiiKoalaBear then you miss understand Trump greatly. he's acctually noninterventionalist. he's very unlikely to go to war exept against isis. and he's not xenophobic he just wants to keep people out who pose a potential threats to America which is the responsibility of a president.
Looks like Bill Cipher was an influence for the pyramids
This came a bit late for Ben carson
Sooo... Aliens?
+Powerpuff God Well... yes, an alien culture :) (I'll show myself out now XD)
+Powerpuff God Goa'uld
There are a couple of documentaries about that..
Just google Stargate!
+Powerpuff God no. Humans are smart, we don't need some void man with flying plates telling us how to put rocks on top of rocks.
+Powerpuff God Mole people actually.
You should see Sneferu's pyramids. When you build pretty much all the wrong pyramids, you'll eventually be able to build a really great one
Oh gosh even you should know that the events depicted in the book of exodus had nothing to do with the pyramids. The time periods are all off.
Oh gosh you should know that those events didn't take place at all.
MrFraknak
learn to archeology. The bible is supported by more historical evidence than any other document in antiquity by every single conceivable metric that archeologists use to judge the validity of ancient texts.
Look it up. It's kinda hilarious actually.
David Umstattd Actually no it's not. Almost all of the "archaeological evidence" is inferred to be what the bible meant. There is almost nothing that is directly linked to the bible. Sure there might be a lot of "we think this was" stuff out there but nothing that can actually be proven to have been an actual biblical event. An example would be the exodus out of egypt. There is no proof. We have scholars who theorize that it might have been the hyksos that may have been the ones the bible mentioned but again they don't really agree with that. "Ramses" is never mentioned in the Bible as the pharaoh who expelled them, that person is only ever mentioned as "Pharaoh". Yea so if you mean there is a lot of supposed and possible evidence then you're right, but no actual objective evidence that directly linked to any historical tales in the bible.
David Umstattd I'd actually love to see this "evidence" from someone who isn't a religous scholar. Seriously you must be one of the those Ken Ham followers.
***** Yea any "claimed evidence" is all conjecture lol But these people don't like to yield to the actual scientific method.
I'm Egyptian and I approve! It's so goddamn rare to see a video about the Pyramids of Giza on youtube that doesn't involve aliens or ice-age-civilizations bullshit.
Same here. I was about ready to blast these guys for spreading batshit misinformation. Pleasant surprise there.
+M Rawash
Do you know if pyramids actually helped with trade (as it said in the video)? Did they just impress people?
Or does the average Egyptian not actually know very much Egyptian history (I have no clue how First Nations tribes in my country Canada did trade thousands of years ago. Don't know why I think you'll be able to answer my question)?
some person The Pyramids prime purpose was indeed to impress, they are vanity projects just like most mega projects in the ancient world (and to a degree, the modern world too), but they did help build Egypt as a side-effect, and not exactly because of trade either...
Building the Pyramids unified Egypt, as people from allover Upper and Lower Egypt worked together towards a common goal, in a way they demonstrated the power of a united Egypt to itself and to the whole ancient world. We take the concept of "nation states" for granted now, but back then, Egypt was incredibly unique, the concept of a country with geographic borders and a centralized government was unprecedented. Egypt's Old Kingdom is the one that started it all, for Egypt and everyone else on Earth. That would also explain why Pyramids got smaller as time went by, as Egypt became more and more decentralized by the Middle and New Kingdoms, Pharaohs lost direct control on the people, as local governments grew more essential to the governing of Egypt.
As for you not knowing how "First Nations tribes in Canada" did trade, that actually makes perfect sense! Writing wasn't introduced to Canada until new world settlers got there, it's the same reason we also don't exactly know what England's Stonehenge was for. Without writing you don't have anything to go by, but modern scientific research, and, in some rare cases, folk tales, which absolutely get distorted by time passage, unlike the written word.
The Egyptians actually wrote their history in stone and on paper, and that is how we know so much about Egypt's history, and not nearly as much about the rest of the ancient world, save for Mesopotamia, and much later the Greeks and Chinese.
+Star-Spangled Awesome Uh. nope. My family pretty much stayed in Egypt until about 250 years ago.
***** Care to explain how that happened?
This is an excellent video... For any US citizen who did not learn shit in school about Egypt's history.
+fcknmrcls I know right?
Also I love how, in their "facts" video about pyramids, they couldn't be fucked to draw the RAMP that was constructed on the sides of the pyramid in a spiral shape to get the stone up there, and instead have the guys just haul it up one side like assholes.
hey did you know that Egyptians also don't learn shit about ancient Egyptian history in schools?
ironic right?
okay to be fair you learn for only two years and then start learning about the Islamic history
but also , if you ask any Egyptian in the street how many pyramids there are in egypt, most are gonna say 3.
while in reality there is more than a hundred :3
so yeah, I guess people outside of Egypt learn more about its ancient history than egyptians do :D
Gamix
...Just not Americans...
+Clever say Never yeah actually sixth primary and first secondary
at sixth you learn about the bronze age and whatnot
and then in first secondary you learn about the Romans and shit and then in the second term of first secondary you learn about Islamic history
hey I'm Egyptian I know what I'm talking about alright
So all U.S. citizens then? Got it.
Actually we have no reason to think that the Great Pyramid at Giza was Khufu's tomb. I'm not sure about the pyramids of Khafre or Menkaure either. Some of the later pyramids were tombs for sure though.
+candiduscorvus So glad to see so many people calling bullsh*t on that tomb misconception
Acually only the South american pyramids had burial remains. In the large Egyptian pyramids there has never been even a single mummy found by any arcehologist. Some rich people though in ancient egypt built smaller like few meter high pyramid shaped strtuctures and they used them for burials, but thats it. The fact is that in the 70s there were discoveries of several new pyramids, that were previously undisrupted (nothing stolen, probably never opened) and still no mummies anywhere. Weird right?š
Pyramid =/= Ziggurat.
Cholula isn't a Pyramid, in the purest sense.
+Oklevitch You're right: it's a hot sauce.
+Oklevitch Actually, History major here. Ziggurats were buildings constructed by the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians. The Pyramids in Mexico are classified as Step Pyramids, because there is a distinct difference in measurement and construction of a Step Pyramid versus a Ziggurat.
You are welcome, Oklevitch.
+AtomicSpatula Doesn't that still make them technically different types of structures? The Egyptian structures are geometric pyramids and the Mexican structures are step pyramids.
+Miister Cloud A step pyramid is still a pyramid. That's how adjectives work. Just like how a dwarf star is still a star, and a dwarf planet is still... actually, nevermind.
+AtomicSpatula
Is it a regional thing? Or does scale fit into it as well? Like, sheer size, or the overall area of the base vs. height, or the depth of the horizontal plateau between each incline?
When I wrote the comment I actually had structures like that in mind. I took a few art history classes and early architecture courses back in college, but my profs used "step pyramid" and "ziggurat" interchangeably--though we didn't talk about South American societies. It's been a while since, so I can't say my memory is infallible.
Is that you Bill Cipher?
The Stargate is in there! I am tellin' ya!
Earth's stargate was buried under a cap stone to keep it from being used.
+Lincoln Noronha Sorry no, it's a landing pad :)
entZEROspawn
Either way, we need to get ready against the Goa Uld!
+Lincoln Noronha
So, the unexplained thermal readings are dormant Goa'uld grubs?
+Radonatos they are from the sarcophagus
you didn't talk about the internal ramp theory. Which is how they were built.
+Taylor Smith Yeah, that one would have been a good point to throw in too. Though as I recall the internal ramp theory is still being actively debated. It is gaining traction and will likely be considered the right answer, but isn't there yet.
neeneko it is the only theory that makes sense.
+Taylor Smith Making sense and being right are related, but not the same thing.
There have also been competing ideas that people thought made sense too, the external ramp hypothesis is still the dominant one.
People have gotten really excited about the internal ramp theory after a series of pop documentaries, but there is a lot more going on than can be fit into a few 45 minute blocks designed for non-experts.
+Taylor Smith i mean we are still trying to disprove the alien hypothesis.
+neeneko so your upset that someone watching a 45 min video can suddenly be more Knowledgeable then the person who spent decades studying the pyramids and didn't come up with a working theory on how they were built?
Fail, fail, fail. When I learned about the gold thing on the top it was neat but I learned that years ago. Everything else seemed pretty basic and I also learned years ago. If anyone cared about this shit we would have researched it and learned it.
I hear there is a little bit of talk about almost no written in the pyramids or it may have just been in a movie I really do not give a flying fuck. But going by the movie or history it had one of the pyramids, I believe the oldest, had some writing. Thinking about it that sounds like StarGate, ya go watch StarGate.
So.... the pyramids are the earliest known example of a massive government boondoggle?
+Terrace Thornhill Not even close. People have been building monuments to alpha male assholes since the dawn of civilization. The only thing older is porn - look up "Venus of Hohle Fels."
+Terrace Thornhill I love the word boondoggle.
Thank you! I am going into archaeology and get so frustrated when people start on the "pyramids built by slaves" thing.
Not a single sarcophagus was found in any pyramid ever. sorry.
Not even the solid granite one in Cheops' pyramid, that was put there before the pyramid's completion because it's bigger than the doorway into the room.
You're right. Not a single sarcophagus. Especially not Cheops'.
Massimo O'Kissed
It's a granite box with no markings on it.
WTF u on about?
+Kancho "The only object in the King's Chamber is a rectangular granite sarcophagus, one corner of which is broken. The sarcophagus is slightly larger than the Ascending Passage, which indicates that it must have been placed in the Chamber before the roof was put in place. Unlike the fine masonry of the walls of the Chamber, the sarcophagus is roughly finished, with saw marks visible in several places. This is in contrast with the finely finished and decorated sarcophagi found in other pyramids of the same period. Petrie suggested that such a sarcophagus was intended but was lost in the river on the way north from Aswan and a hurriedly made replacement was used instead."
Does nobody appreciate sarcophasm any more ? :(
Have you guys heard about the "hill" that wasn't a hill, discovered in Bosnia? World's oldest pyramid, covered in concrete slabs (~12,000 years old)?
The Egyptian Sphinx has nothing to do with the riddle. That's a Greek legend about another Sphinx.
The pyramids were not tombs, they were power plants!
7 things I already knew about the pyramids, but then I'm really into egyptology so you gotta try harder if you wanna baffle me.
For them being "tombs" we sure never have found any bodies or sarcofogi in them
Wrong
+Lucene Olivera ok instead of insulting you like most would since your ignorance is showing like a pimple on prom night...I'm going to give you a simple errand. Google the phrase "have any mummies been found in the Egyptian pyramids" and go ahead read a bit, then come back and apologize for being so arrogantly stupid.
For kicks, I did just that. Oh, look. www.sciencealert.com/here-s-how-scientists-know-the-pyramids-were-built-to-store-pharaohs-not-grain
+miranatu lol well no one ever said anything about granaries, and you'll notice in that very flimsy "scientific" article that they never mention any mummies instead just a barrage of assumptions. Furthermore it does say they found sarcofogi which on serves to discredit the article even more as that is just blatantly false. Please look a little deeper than just an article intended for a Facebook audience
Jesus, are we gonna turn this into an actual debate? I was just googling shit like you told us to. Fine: the Pyramid of Menkaure held a surviving sarcophagus when explored in the 1800's, and was lost on a ship transporting it. If you're going to go all conspiracy on that and argue against Egyptologists as a whole, have at it, bro. Shout into the void.
I feel like a Bill Cypher joke would have been really at home at some point in this video
Similar to a regular history class here in Egypt 😛
+Samaa Mohamed Ali Actual history classes in the US also get the facts right, but the public perception is still shaped by old movies.
+neeneko Ikr people keep acting like we're taught nothing in America which is close to the truth but if you didn't learn this stuff early on in school you must have went to an abysmal district. Maybe it's just the fact that people are too dumb to retain this kind of basic info anymore?
My 10yr old daughter was appalled when Carson said they were grainaries. She already knows this stuff. :)
I'll trade you space facts for more videos like this. Deal?
And there are pyramids on every continent.
P a n g a e a
+Vegaspsycho It's just like dreadlocks. It just came naturally to many different cultures, yet is mostly associated with one.
+Vegaspsycho Yeah, but that's probably because when you're a pre-industrial culture that wants to have giant stone monuments without the benefit of modern-day building materials or techniques, a pyramid is the easiest and most stable structure you can build that won't collapse under its own weight.
+Simon Van Liew no. Pangaea split up long before humans ever existed.
+Vegaspsycho I don't see any pyramids in Australia, or in Europe. Not ancient ones, anyway.
Cracked is Illuminati confirmed.
This makes me wanna watch a documentary on the pyramids today!
+Ange FLOO (AngeFLO) one thing to keep in mind, if you watch it on youtube, don't scroll down to the comment section.
there's a LOT of crazy down there, more so than on normal videos.
+Ange FLOO (AngeFLO) Look for _The Pyramid Code_
+Richard Joyce English class taught you verry much
+Ange FLOO (AngeFLO) Be careful. Pyramid documentaries are a minefield of kooks and conspiracy theorists. If it's not aliens or reptilians, it's speculative biblical pseudoarchaeology.
This video title seems to underestimate how many Ancient Egypt documentaries I absorbed in my childhood. (Back when History and Discovery were good)
I miss the days when you could trust documentaries... :(
soo.. 0 ways i am completely wrong about Egypt's pyramids?! and 1 way you are kind of wrong. no slaves built the pyramids, but citizens for whom it was a way to work off their taxes.
+Matayas He mentioned that it was paid laborers
+Skjetch so Egypt didn't have Israeli slaves?
+TheShyRage Egypt had slaves, they just weren't the ones to build the pyramids.
+Skjetch ahh you're right, didn't get that, my bad. I just heard the "it also kills your slaves" part.
+Kendra Benoit any proof?
I learned everything about pyramid building as a kid reading the Asterix comic albums and they ship the stones by rafts. It also showed unionized pyramid workers going on strike. Though it did have some inaccuracies, like Obelix being responsible for the Sphinx's nose breaking off, so there's that.
Nofret and Papyrus is where I got my knowledge from.
Same.
you forgot the most major point which was there were no jews and no slaves. all the workers were paid and the religion of judism started 1000 years AFTER the most recent pyramid was built
+Shireef al-gucci ?? there were pyramids built during the middle kingdom - maybe not as grand as those at Giza but they were still pyramids??
+Shireef al-gucci
I'm not sure anyone knows exactly when Judaism started - there's a counting system for the years, but it could've started a bit into jewish history, and or they could've assumed the earth had been around for 500 years and started there, etc.
I'm not religious, but there is a possibility some things happened. (There was red mud along the Nile that could've made the water red and undrinkable, a volcano could've made it dark, etc.)
Do you have a source for when the last pyramid was built, and another for when Judaism started?
there was slaves in Egypt. Egypt did enslave the Jewish people. I'm assuming you have a little mix up bc ur not that familiar with the Truth written in the Bible.
I wish to help u bc it is a grand account.
Egypt did exist years and years before the Moses & the prophets.
the whole reason the Jews were even in egypt is bc Joseph- was sold as a slave to the Egyptians by slave traders. many years later Joseph is made second in command of all of Egypt because of his ability to interpret dreams and being wiser then the sorcerers. The Lord has a huge drought come in the land of Joseph's family & they all come to Egypt in order to live. Egypt had abundant food stored and the Jews (Joseph's family & kin) stayed there for many generations. the King of Egypt treated Joseph's kin well and then later died. Joseph also died and the Jews forgot to acknowledge the Lord. so the future generations of the Jews were put in bandage & oppressed. the King of Egypt who decreed oppression of the Jews bc their population was frighteningly growing. He didn't want the Jews to take advantage of the kingdom or ally with their enemies.
Hope u get the story. all that to say is, the 1000 yrs doesn't add any merit bc the Jewish nation wasn't even a people yet ANYWAY. so "Judaism" didn't exist. But the timeline still works bc the Jews didn't leave egypt yet. they were still Israelites- actually - Hebrews.
so yea. the fact remains, the Ancestors of the Jews were in egypt. we r in bondage & did build cities. I do if they built pyramids. But in know they built the city Ramses for sure as said in the Bible.
+Tori Ellise I don't believe in the bible or the stories within it because for me it is not logical. I do know that the people within the bible did exist they just had more complex names that they used back then I think... Anyway there is really no proof because the bible was written ages after the actual events. There is also contradictory statements within the bible
+Dark Angel www.christiancourier.com/articles/689-does-the-bible-contain-contradictions
I guess the Decepticons can't harvest the sun.
Why not explore the damn pyramid then?
We have robots!
Why not smash up that really nice urn with your grandpa's ashes in it?
We have baseball bats!
Papayaman1000 What could you possibly expect to find in the ashes of a dead man?
I want to find out what the inside of the urn looks like. I heard it's a particularly nice seafoam color. What about you?
Papayaman1000 I want to find any forgotten knowledge of human origins or the reality of existence, or any pointers in the right direction. I am constantly burdened by the futility of life as we, the average humans, know it.
You can ask any potter what the inside of an urn looks like.
I realize that in the real world everything takes money and one must play a political role to sway the flow of funds towards such exploration. But surely there is enough interest!
Millions upon millions of people, alive and dead, see that pyramid as a sort of urn for their (great-*) grandfather... and they have a government (which, albeit not terribly powerful compared to ours, would be... inconvenient, to say the least), general ethics, and please-don't-be-a-douchebag-you-damned-tosspot backing them when they tell us (and others in general) to maybe not smash it.
learned everything I needed t0 kn0w about Egypt from playing a children's card game
+The ass King i know this card game well, so many Monsters in Shadows
TheDementedManic duel me and I will give all the shad0ws y0u ever wanted...
alright, looks like its time... time to duel!
ha, i expected this. i activated remove trap as well as financial security. you wont get me that easy King
TheDementedManic Ha! F00l! I activate my Obama monster card special ability, Poor LEADERSHIP! Forcing you t0 pay f0r health care thus making your social security number exposed for a direct attack!
basic highschool history taught me all of that shit -- "7 ways you assume the population of the world is as ignorant as you"
+MaTtHeW00369 Actually, the assumption isn't that the population of the world is "as ignorant" as the title guy, but rather that the population is "more ignorant" than the title guy. To take it a notch further, they are assuming the audience of this particular video is more ignorant than them, not the entire population of the world. Considering the economic and politic conditions of 3rd world countries, the latter would not be an entirely unjustified claim to make. Also, this is merely a clickbait title. They don't mean anything by it, so they don't assume anything while saying it. That concludes our little thought exercise.
I just kind of felt like clarifying that. I'm not certain why. Send help.
Late night bong hits, watching weird shit on RUclips when the thought occurs:
"THEY" say Easter Island, Nazca, Ollantaytambo, Paratoari, Tassili n'Ajjer and Giza are all aligned on a single great circle. Additional ancient sites that are located within one tenth of one degree of this great circle include Petra; Perseopolis; Khajuraho; Pyay, Sukothai and Anatom Island. Machupicchu and Cuzco are within one quarter of a degree. The Oracle at Siwa in the western Egyptian desert is within one quarter of a degree. In the Indus Valley, Mohenjo Daro and Ganweriwala are within one quarter of a degree. The ancient Sumerian city of Ur and Angkor temples in Cambodia and Thailand are within one degree of the great circle. The Angkor temple at Preah Vihear is within one quarter of a degree. This circle crosses over the source and the mouth of the Amazon, the dividing line between upper and lower Egypt, the mouth of the Tigris-Euphrates, the Indus River and the Bay of Bengal near the mouth of the Ganges. The circle also crosses over a number of areas of the world that are largely unexplored, including the Sahara Desert, the Brazilian Rainforest, the highlands of New Guinea, and underwater areas of the North Atlantic Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
WHAT IF this "Great Circle" is the old equator?
The world is covered w/ hundreds of flood legends/myths and many cultures all over the world have strikingly similar "gods" described as winged/feathered or "flaming" serpents. The Egyptians had their god snake Kneph, the Phoenicians had Agathodaimonin, the cultures of Central America worshiped Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent, as Baholinkonga, the feathered serpent of the Hopi Indians. Even the bible has a serpent.
WHAT IF all these flood myths have a common source? What if all these serpent gods have a common source?
Suppose: A giant comet - the "feathered serpent" - smashed into the earth, setting off the Younger Dryas cold period and the last ice age. Mass extinctions, huge tsunamis and FLOODS - the whole plant knocked off it's axis. "THEY" also say a genetic "bottleneck" happened w/ humans around this period - possibly fewer than 20,000 people were left on the ENTIRE planet.
Something THAT fucked up happens - not too many people will remember how to keep the lights on. We end up having to learn EVERYTHING all over again - from fire to the wheel and so on - with no memory of our former selves. Nothing but a few scattered ruins...
damn bruh I need some of what your smoking.👽🌲💚🌲👽.LOL.
Mind blown! 😱
what if the bible is true
adam davis
Which part? OT or NT? Which book? Which version of the bible? Catholics have more books in theirs than Protestants, Orthodox Christians have even more books in their bible. Then there are the apocrypha books, the Septuagint...
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is where it's at. Baby Jesus was a straight OG.
Just to be clear, the Bible never says anything about pyramids so I don't know why people assume that slaves made pyramids.
Prince of Egypt
nice greek mythology reference at the end
Hey. Wowa. Hold on.
I can express my feelings about the video by clicking the hand with the extended thumb on it?? Thank goodness for Cracked providing this information.
I'm early let's make a joke......
Toby Turner's love life
lol
we see u with that illuminati
the answer is 42
the bible never mentioned anyone building pyramids. that too was a misconception. it talked of grain store houses and other such mundane and unimportant things. judging from findings in builders tombs, the pyramids were highly important. those who built them were highly honored and were not slaves
Damn, if the title of the video is true this video just confirmed 7 of my misconceptions about pyramids. And I hoped to get truth out of this...
The canals also make sense since Construction work only took place during the flood seasons when the farmers who built them couldn't work the land
So... not only is Cholula a great hot sauce, it's a great pyramid too? Mind = blown.
There is one thing thats wrong
There where no slaves involved building the pyramid
They did it for there king because he was like something for a god for them
Pyramids aren't histories greatest riddle, one of them but thanks for playing
Truth is an Illusion! Reality is a hologram! buy gold!!! XD
Life is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, BYE!
Can you guys please start listing your sources. kind of hard to trust your credibility without them
Pfffff....
Whatever you say, Cracked....
The universe is a hologram. Reality is an illusion. Buy gold! Bye!

TIL that there are seemingly people who don't know about this.
Really liked the animated vid. Better than just the typed out script.
They added water on sand to solidify the sand so they could drag those.. Boulders
The comment section upsets me, but I wanna leave my mark on history
Hypothetical question: I knew this.
I think I remember reading in college that Egypt used farm laborers during the off-season to build the pyramids. So basically their schedule was "farm, harvest, holiday, pyramids, holiday, farm" repeating. It was a way for farmers to earn wages and have something to do. Egypt was pretty rad.
+Craig Taylor Oh also, fun fact. people didn't starve in Egypt like they did in other early civilizations. Even the poorest of the poor could live off of the papyrus that grew along the banks of the Nile. idk... im a nerdy history major.
Didn't know about the 1st one; the rest just wasted my time, but I like this type of video and the animation.
Samuel Noa Greén nah, man. just basic stuff; mostly from documentaries.
Actually aliens
this is a cool bit that you guys should keep doing with the same host
I love this! I love history!
Weird, the bible got something wrong. What else is new?
+John McGuire Not the Bible, the religious historians trying to find connections to the Bible.
+John McGuire This is what happens when you get humans to do God's job. xD
+johngordonp I believe John is referring to the slaves dragging the stones stuff that was depicted in the bible.
The pyramids werent built by the Egyptians but by an ancient civilization prior to the ice age.
+ChiLL PePPer do you know where i can read more about that?
+Andy Dixon batshitinsaneconspiracytheories.com
+Andy Dixon Graham Hancock, Robert Bauvall, John Anthony West.
That's right, and the Egyptians merely took over and SAID they built them, as well as the Sphynx.
+theScytheofGod this also happened with the piramids in Mexico and Perú. but in these cases archeologists assigned the piramids to who they thought were the "first" civilization there, but there are records where the settles said the piramids were there when they arrived...
Thank you, Bill.
6. No one knows.
The rant at the end is love.
Yeah this video is so inaccurate. Just a few...they were not graves, they're older than the old kingdom and the Nile use to flow right past it. A quick research of Nicola Tesla and John Anthony West is enough to debunk this. Other than that I love most of your videos.
I haven't watched yet but is it that they were actually used for grain storage?
Just the opposite my friend
1st wrong fact : they were NOT burial sites.
+Ricardo Salvador Your the only person in the comments that has pointed this out. The pyramids were not tombs, they were power plants!
Do more like this.
I'd like my 2:43 back please, this was garbage...
Why? because he broke a lot of allusions that idiots around the world make constantly?
ACTUALLY, the pyramids were built as landing platforms for space ships from a parasitic alien race that used primitive humans as hosts and posed as their Gods.
If I wasn't so lazy I would have made a Daniel Jackson RUclips account just for this comment.... but I am.
"piramids didn't store grains" uhh yeah.. we know. To all the other stuff; did you go to middle school?
You do realize most school still use old facts, and a lot of school don't even teach stuff about the pyramids. Also do you have any idea how many movies, series, animated shows, that take place during the pyramids building process/end and still get it wrong. I don't think I have ever seen what a pyramid is supposed to look like new in any period movie. This video is for those people, I for one knew most of these facts already because I was into this stuff for awhile, but A LOT of people get this shit wrong all the time.
Mage Rabbit well I got thaught about this at school with our textbooks that were updated every year to not teach kids BullShit... because this is a very important time in world history
Some of these sound more like theories than fact
+Brian Mitchell someone doesn't know what the word theory means ...
Lol at people saying "Americans are stupid". You are basing your assumption on a Cracked video. When has Cracked ever had a video or article that wasn't already known? Just because they use a smug title like "7 ways you're stupid about something", does not mean we are stupid. It means Cracked writers will do anything for views. Even writing about shit that is common knowledge. I am American and learned all this shit in grade school. I think the real idiots are the ones who think Cracked represents the educational system...
