most pyramids from old kingdom look so badly today because of stone robbery during late antiquity and arabian times. the middle- and new kingdom pyramids were cheap copies made of mudbricks, making it even easier to mine them down for building materials. the rest was, of course, erosion by elements. I always wonder how many pyramids were destroyed down to their cores and are now lost for good.
I wonder how many pyramids were built with the blocks from another one. I think its known the great pyramid has weird blocks in its foundation that could have been another pyramid.
@@BartJBols I know, right? it's an intriguing thought, since there is indeed archaeological evidence that old kingdom pyramid and temple sites re-used materials from early dynastic sites.
I just wonder how the pharaoh's court explained the slumping during his lifetime. The religious leaders would have had an impossible challenge to come up with a story explaining how their perfect god-king's pyramid cracked apart and had to be replaced. I'd *love* to know how that went and whether people had to suffer for it. Other than the military defeat of your capital city, there's probably not much worse that could happen to a pharaoh than for their holy pyramid to destroy itself. The pyramids were real manifestations of their namesake's divinity and without a better story, I wonder how many "unrighteous" architects and builders had to be fired or executed to purge the darkness from their midst. Do we know enough about the culture during Amenemhat III's rule to estimate any of this? Humans' first choice is always to blame someone we deem less righteous than us. In fact, as some politicians show us today, even if the pharaoh had selected that exact location himself, he could simply lie and say someone else had done it; no one can fact-check a god-king... successfully ;). If something bad happens, it's the obviously the result of evil-doers, for the same humans that are capable of building tremendous pyramids without engines and sending people to the Moon with only primitive computers are also unbelievably dumb and gullible. Many brands depend on it.
Could the casing stones have been put in place during the entire construction and not at the end, explaining why we can find casing stones in the rubble even if the pyramid collapsed during construction, and never fully finished?
Okay...after 8 years you have finally caught up to my BS degree in Earth Science from 1984. Now you have my attention because of the speed of the computer processor. Broad band internet is faster than the speed of sound but not as fast as the constant speed of light. Mud brick is not the same as rose granite. The upper Nile and lower Nile are not the same in terms of history. May I sugest doing more resurch on plant/vegitation so that you can find a better carbon dating time reference that will beter establish a linear time line from BC (bce) to AD (ce) . It's because of your channel that I want to do more research on the Egyptian Calander and the U.S. Calander with leap year.
What happened to it? Death rays from Alpha Centaurians. No, nuclear bombs from Atlantis--Atlantians were pissed at the ancient Egyptians over a trade war... no, it was a curse from Moses.
I was wondering what the etymology of pyramid was. Im kinda intrigued. Fire vessel? As in a furnace of sorts? Hmm The word "pyramid" comes from the ancient Greek word pyramis, which had multiple meanings: Pyramid-shaped structure The word pyramis referred to a pyramid-shaped structure, with the visible surfaces converging toward the top. Wheat cake The word pyramis also referred to a type of wheat cake, possibly made of wheat flour and honey. The Greeks may have used the word to describe the ancient Egyptian pyramids because they reminded them of pointy-topped wheat cakes. Fire-shovel The word pyramis may be linked to the Greek word pyrame, which means "fire-shovel". The word pyramis comes from the Greek words pyr ("fire") and amis ("vessel"), which may highlight the shape's pointed, flame-like appearance. The word pyramis was borrowed into Latin as pyramis, and the Byzantine Greek term pyramída influenced the evolution of the word into "pyramid" in English and other languages.

0:39 The oldest carrier names are the fanciest ones. The crappiest ones are more recent. They were trying to duplicate the old ones
Pov:you bought a pyramid from Temu😂😂. Great video as usual! Been watching for a while😁
Haha
They probably built a moat around it. 😂
Why didn't anyone think to take a picture of it when it was new? 😛🤓
They didn't have enough Dendera lights and Baghdad batteries to support the cameras of the time.

The good news is some still have cool underground chambers that remain.
Hello everybody
And welcome to Ancient Architects
Built sandcastle too close to the tide… I’ve seen those effects before 😂

Now that looks like the result of something that I attempted to build.
yup! me too!
6:25 I am shocked they let everyone rub their oils, acids, lotions, and perfume into the artifact! It won't be shiny for long!!
Love history of Egypt podcast!!

They needed to watch the Ancient geologists and Ancient civil Engineer channels before construction....
The same channels who claim ancient egyptians couldn't carve and polish Basalt go and stand beside the cap stone in the museum and wonder what it says
Howdy from Temple, Texas, USA! Great content, always interesting, thank you!
Howdy!
Cutting corners and sloppy work is the way of production TODAY. :D
😂👀

It looks more like a butte or a messa, similar to those at Monument Valley UT 🤔
It was once upon a time.
Maybe pharaoh Snafu wanted a pyramid in the shape of a butte 😂
I'll see myself out.
I want to explore those subterranean tunnels. It does look like a maze. Thanks Matt!
Thanks for watching Barry!
FINALLY someone covering this pyramid
Cheers

The internal structure looks incredible. Truly the closest to alien looking architecture. Just made some human errors. Mudbrick baby.
"But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand." Matthew 7:26
I love that you give us sources or good places to find further details 💖💖
Thanks. And thanks for watching
OOPS!!! and some folks want us to believe pyramids were built by gods! or aliens! yeah, right😂
Lived in arid desert Southwest in U.S., lots of adobe used. Worked great, lasted forever... until rain could get at it.
Floodwater.
was it the first pyramid of it's size and kind? maybe it was proof of concept!
funny how you expect folks to believe in your theories yet you still preach that they were used as tombs?
Thank you for another great video❤❤
Thanks for watching
👋
👋
This plan at 7:37 is so interesting!
“Wool”come to New Zealand
Like the Romans, at the end.. 🤔
✌️💚
✌️
Inflation.
I destroyed it, Matt.
I knew it!
Wasted life’s piling up stones ? No spiritual way to Heaven
In this case, Mudbricks!
The Egyptians spent a lot of time thinking about death. I wouldn't discount all the time they put into it.

The word pyramis was borrowed into Latin as pyramis, and the Byzantine Greek term pyramída influenced the evolution of the word into "pyramid" in English and other languages.
Looks like the knowledge of pyramid building was lost during that era.
7:22 Were there chambers or passages within body of pyramid?
No, below ground. But the ground is clay rich and subsidence is a huge problem
Wow! What a rubbish pyramid. Was it built by Disney?

Hi Merlin
Merlin is the best @@AncientArchitects
The work of OG pyramidiots.
Ancient nuclear holocaust.
Why is it that perfection across cultures was reached so early and then forgotten?
Maybe because that "perfection" is non-vital show off? 🙂
Also, rises and downfalls of civilisations were often just results of shifts in climate.
This is about all the Egyptian people could do, I believe. They did not build the pyramids, they inherited them.
Sad true
