- How did the Egyptians engineer the Great Pyramid of Giza so precisely, and who were the thousands of laborers who raised the stones? New archaeological evidence--including alogbook of a labor team leader--provides new insights into these age-old questions. NOVA delves into these construction secrets to trace how mobilizing labor and resources on such a massive scale transformed ancient Egypt.

Those pyramids were already old when the Ancient Egyptians were around.
No, they weren't. You're imagining things and posting average normal TH-cam horsefeathers. The dates of their construction are known to the nearest decade. No mysteries there.
Like the Great Wall of China, they're a normal ordinary government make-work project, designed to keep the agricultural workers busy in the off season so they wouldn't take it into their minds to march on the capital.
@@TheDavidlloydjones they were you pissbrain HAHA
@@TheDavidlloydjones Nobody knows how they were even built. We couldn’t build it now. So, dating it to the nearest decade is horseshit.
@@TheDavidlloydjonespyramids were not built as tombs for pharaohs, get real lol.
There is history that we don’t know about, how is that surprising? Egyptians didn’t have technology to drill 12” diameter holes through 13ft of solid granite at 1000rpm.
@@TheDavidlloydjones The Romans used bread and circuses to keep their people happy. Enormous building projects? not so much.
Mark and Zahi the Gilgamesh and Enkidu of Egyptology
we dont know kufu had it built. he may have just claimed responsebility for it. it was so far back we just dont know.
we do know that the 3 pyramids at giza are not tombs, there are no inscriptions found on or in any of them.
Thank you fascinating!!! Amazing discoveries from so many years ago. Thank you for posting ❤❤❤
Kufu they only found a tiny grafiti above the kings chambre saying kufu probably fake because paint analasys was bannen and prosecuted.
My main question is: How did they bring Kasey Kasem back to life to do the narration?
That’s a mystery only Casey himself can solve! Send for those meddling kids and let Shaggy and Scooby find the answer. Zoicks!
The pyrimad in India are so much older then these. I dunno why we always concentrate on Egypt. Kufu claimed he was the builder however with the water erosion it would be impossible. Some of us need to pick up a book and do the research ourselves.
haha come on, cowshiteaters cant do sheet HAHA
Books published in WhatsApp university ?
LMAO.
You guys just enjoy humiliating India while pretending to be patriots and nationalists and what not, don't you ?
What is in it to humiliate the country you were born in ? I mean what is the price for being a traitor ?
Wowwww!!!❤
If the bent pyramid was built wrong why line it with casing stones. Then build another one.
Mummy.. Egypt needs mummies for the pyramids. Never found but you need to connect the mummy period to the other period.
Superb. Thank you!
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TOUR GUIDE: Hey mates, here comes that annoying Greek dude with all the questions - quick let’s make up some BS story about how the Ancients built The Pyramids!
HERODOTUS: Hello there, Djehutmose, can I ask you something more?
There are many archaeologists and experts in other fields who disagree with many of the claims made here and some of the claims have already been proven wrong.
No matter how they explain that skilled men who were well looked after built these pyramids I still don't believe it! If they did they got help from somewhere else . Two million limestone slabs weighing two tonnes each were all stacked up so perfectly ? And those slabs of granite at the inner core weigh up to 70 tonnes ? Lifting it how? The whole thing doesn't make sense in our physical world!
THEY ALSO UNCOVERED A WATERWAY FROM NILE UP TO PYRAMIDS
It's here to stay .
Where were the lavatories? 😊
Everyones entitled to their guess.
A relieving chamber 😅 codswollop
they didnt let me take a leak in there either 😔
Agreed. Why didn't the queen's chamber have relieving chambers when that chamber had even more weight above?
Looks like the guy that drag races the farm truck
You're right! LLL
He and his little sidekick buddy.
That is one fast farm truck!
Magical machine my ass..
For the past, probably for more than 5000+ years, different civilisations are still doing the never ending business of decoding the Great Pyramids. In another 2000 years to the future, we would still be decoding the Pyramid😂
Not builders. They are tasked with learning the secrets of the Pyramids, how they were build, what tools, what technologies. One day in the future, people will claim the Pyramids were built by our historians, archeologists, researchers and scientists. And as usual, they will not find any tools, machinery, technologies at those sites except maybe some discarded food or water containers, some lost handphones ... Pens? Maybe ...
And the question of why and how the Pyramids was built will remain a mystery.
And behold, the future generations will marvel at plastics, found near the pyramids and across the world and called our era 'Plastic Age' and claim them to be Alien technology😂
You can read a book to learn how to make plastic. The how to build pyramids book is always out on loan at the library
The blocks do not divert weight they add weight.
The great pyramid was first smaller and then extended thats why the queens chamber exists with ventilation shafts wich do not reach the out side.
The cracks and lack of water indicate why they got abandoned. 12.000 year water cycle shara tells why.
It dates to five thousand years ago yet that's when the Egyptians stole the casing off the top .
Interesting to using the flood level to get the materials
Imagine that like the whole pyrimad was underwater
Putting the pyrimadian on top by boat
Drains through the gg doen the well shaft into the sub chamber down out the well
There are three son make
Be not who care you booming something that spirit make
Maybe it's not a good idea how his hands do
If I were the king and the richest man in the then known world I'd be pretty hacked off having such a plain tomb for my interment. Besides, to join the underworld the ancients had to be buried UNDERGROUND (i.e mustabas, valley of the kings) not hundreds of feet up in the air. The clue is in the name. Whatever the pyramids were built for they were not intended as tombs.
“I’m not saying it was the aliens but…”
But it can't be Africans 🤔
@@sindiso_ndlovu He means non whites...
No?? Arabs then by millions ( before Koran obviously ) 😂 after that mother was ever done
how long did it take to sail across the Red Sea when the wind was right ? with a multi-ton block on a boat stitched together by a bloke who saw a good contract. Piece of piss compared to the Aswan Granite job 500 miles away.
The only thing what khufu kufu could have done is try to repair it to gain its former believed powers.
lets carbon date everything officially and not in egypt and with potassium 40 / thorium led etc.
they have, there is morter between the blocks.. it is 3500 years old. dont belive the LAHT lies
Why do the narrators of US documentaries sound so over panicked and over dramatic?
The music is loud and awful making this fascinating documentary challenging to watch..
Just talk normally and intelligently, PLEASE!
Kufu built the great pyramid ?? This is not credible. The complexity of their construction needs much more in-depth and rigorously scientific explanation.
im not sayign it was aliens.. but it was Aliens
Everything is based on assumptions. Tomb.... ahum no writings were ever found. Who says it was after the step pyramid and not before they tried to replicate but never succeded.
yeah ! everything about history is 50/50 true because its just scientis prediction . unless its tell by GOD in books through prophet . because only ALLAH knows everything
I don't like that you didn't include Egyptian scientists, who you can find all over Egypt's universities. They would speak from an authentic point of view, not just about their findings but also about traditions and culture that are still practiced today. Even the language now shares many words with ancient Egypt.
So in other words we know nothing, we can only speculate
I love you PBS, I really do.
However, we all know these were not tombs and what justification with those two mouthpieces, seriously?
Well, this is just not credible and those claims invalidate your presentation.
True that

'cking music. Please put music on one stereo channel, voice on the other. it could then be silenced by user. Pyramid is interesting enough. If I wanted loads of crashing symphonic music....
Yes they were already old lmfao. During last era of pharohs the pyramids were already built for like 3000 or 4000 years. Were closer in time to last era of pharohs then they were to the pyramids.
God bless black people 🇳🇬
What has this with the pyramids?😂😂😂😂
Brilliant.
They didnt know, they dont know and they will never know how its build. Archeologists will come and go, spend lotz of money and still dont know.
They do know, it was snow hites seven dwarfs,she whipped the poor wee souls 😢
Bullshit
With Lehner we always get Bla Bla Bla! thumbs down here, where I respect only Ms.Ikram, but the Pyramids are not her expertise!
Same old presenters , same old authoritative speculation
Free Palestine ❤️🇵🇸
😝
No Kings or Queens have been found in any. Why and how, remains a mystery but get your facts straight. No mummies there... a different idea perhaps ?!!?
28:12 Gun power to blow it up?
Now......THAT is funny!LLL
They weren't that neglectful in building it, that they'd have backtrack and do something like that with something they probably never had! (Gunpowder)
I can't believe some of theories this guy comes up with.........but it IS entertaining. 🤭
It seems you misunderstood what he is talking about. He's talking about how Howard Vyse used gunpowder to investigate the inside of the pyramid. He blew up the ceiling and found those other chambers. That was in 1837, not in ancient times
@@ggurks my mistake! Thank you.😊
Build by Egyptians? If you have been in Egypt you would never claim they build Pyramids. In 2024 they still using donkeys to cary sugarcanes…
They still chew sugarcanes
@@user-vm9bt5mi1w cheapest food…
So who do you think built them mr. Einstein?
What a ridiculous and insulting comment - unworthy of an amazing documentary film and those who created it.

Educated do not support slavery. Ignorance does.
What/who brought the conspiracy theorists flooding into the comments?
To many BS LAHT channels on you tube unfortunatly
Great imaginations. Precision cut of some of the hardest stones, marble.... with chisels. Yeah right. 😂
Bs simple.
I have no doubt, the Giza pyramids, and the sphinx is at least 30.000 years old... So the builders are very ancient "Egyptians". probably the Atlantean people. No pyramide was ever used as a tomb...
Pyramide means "Fire in the middle" ... Pyramids were powerplants and a lot of other things...
nonsense. such a shallow research. there are way better documentaries
So many of us know this was not a tomb, nor was it built by Kufu based on the facts available. This clung-to assumption by architects is outdated and needs to be moved on from. So much evidence points to it being way more than a tomb, and that it was likely there in the time before the Egyptians. Misinformation to the maxxxx PBS.
Nope.....!
Son una bola de mentiroso los que realizaron este trabajo 40 años perdieron su tiempo con PURAS MENTIRAS, DEJEN DE MENTIR YA!!!!
When she credit the ancient Egyptians for building the great pyramid in the beginning of the video, I stopped watching it.
And all built by copper tools cutting marble 😂😂😂😂😂 ok
There’s no marble in the pyramid it’s limestone and even granite. This stuff is basic archaeology you dig a town. Harbors and port to the Red Sea its archaeology people.
Sand ( quartz/carundum) does the cutting just like sand paper. The sand is embeded in the copper just like it is glued to sand paper or a diamond tipped modern cutting tool. check out how they built water wheel powered saws to cut stone, crazy impresive for 3500 year old tech
Its 98% limestone and only 2% Granit!limestone is soft!
You keep mixing religion with faith and knowledge.
they didnt decode shit all
I believe they are Volcanoes and the inscription on the top is "please don't not 🚫 erupt." 🫡🫶🏼🤑😁
No chance they built this..thr incline snd size of rocks....didnt have the technology to do that.....a more intellignet being for me did this
I would have to agree because I just don't believe people could possibly have done this. We can't even do it today!
@@vincentlussier8264exactly 💯
Its easy doable with simple Handtools!You need around 15000 good skilled people for 20 years
Wrong title, they can't decode their math and purpose
recycled 5 year video....waste of bandwidth
They're still slinging this crap?
Believe this you're believing anything
You'll
sounds a bit like made up bollocks.
This "documentary" is nonsense. Full of baseless claims and arbitrary assumptions.
What upper garbage. All estimates and narrative,with no explanation for the evidence. This watches like a fairytale.
It isn't a f****** tomb
What is it then? Enlighten us.
This video is 🐮💩
they found the pyramids there.
Delusional Archeologists Kufuu built it, what a joke. History needs to change.
Another BS video about the pyramids
6 million ton of poured stone even the granite . That archeologist is gay as the day and should stop stating things he can't back up with facts
Can you back up your claims with facts, user-ql4qg1sc3d? I'm sure you have something very insightful to contribute :D
No I can't but these people are only guessing the Great pyramid k2 movie has alot of points thats ring true the ascending passages definitely were boxed and poured over and the kings chamber is more impressive than the other logistics .Granite and the precision and placement . Impossible unless it was poured like resin . Not even God is that perfect.
I'm sorry but does anyone believe this bollocks anymore?
yep the evidence cleary points to Aliens and that we had better tech 10,000 years ago. look at all the 100 foot long CNC machines that cant cut striaght and alien space ships we find in the archiological digs
Nope!
