Finding Ancient Egypt's Great Lost Labyrinth!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2020
- The Great Labyrinth of Egypt is one of the most famous lost monuments from our ancient past - a mythical structure, far larger than anything else built in Egypt, with thousands of chambers - it was visited and written about by several of history's most famous authors, the likes of Herodotus, Strabo, and Pliny the Elder. Flinders Petrie suspected he had hit on the remains of the labyrinth in the late 19th century, and only some 12 years ago in 2008, his work was confirmed when large parts of the labyrinth were rediscovered, next to the Hawara pyramid of Amenemhet III. This discovery was met with resounding silence, and today, whatever remains are of the labyrinth are being eroded by inaction, and the rising water table in the area. This is the story of the Egypt's great 'lost' labyrinth, it's history, modern re-discovery by the Mataha expedition, and possible future...

#labyrinth #ancient #egypt - บันเทิง
Man this dude is getting better and better I have watched his evolution in the game. This work isn't easy... it is simple to watch these subjects in the comfort of our homes and before bed and on autoplay while we sleep but taking it out into the world and spreading it takes solid determination. Thank you for your continuous labors man 💯
Agree. Just discover this chanel thanks to another guy that is in egypt and recommended thisl in his chanel. This is getting to the level of Ancient Architects
I was going to spend time to write an acknowledgement worthy of the effort given here with this documentary. However I will just echo what you have here. From professional academics to amateur interested Egyptian historians this is a must watch. Well done Aussie a great work highlighting the importance of continuing to unveil or hidden history.
Totally agree, voice of reason
To sit down with him & chop if up would be amazing 👏!!!
@@francisdexaviermaurinus4695 Thus is easily on a par with Ancient Architects chanel. I found this one first and thought Ben had 2 channels when I started with Anc. Arch. 😁 ... LOL .. To my ear their voices and accents are so alike
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this. I’m blown away. Herodotus’s description gave me goosebumps. I hope we get to see this place in our lifetime. Makes me sick that there’s someone making the call to let something so amazing erode away
Same old same old... Even after Harwass has gone, he keeps control so he can get first dibs on any treasure for his private collectors.
I also can't believe I'm hearing about this for the first time. It sounds awe-inspiring. Where would we be without Herodotus? The guy was everywhere and making copious notes along the way.
Me neither! Watching this post by Ben was the first I'd heard the GL was discovered.
it sure is a shame these ancient structures are being deliberately destroyed by a religion i shall not mention, cough cough starts with an I
@Paul Schmick Thoth is real. He is also Hermes Trimegestis.
Read the 7 principles of Heremtisim.
Then read the Emerald Tablet.
It feels like a crime against humanity, that this labyrinth is not being properly explored...and the damage resulting from the water table rise not being averted.
@P Ariza: It seems not....
It is. But Egypt nowadays doesn't care. This is why I'm against repatriation of artifacts. A lot of these countries don't actually care and "returning" the artifacts only put them in danger.
All you need is the psychedelics, the secret of the pyramid is that the universe isn’t material like we thought.
You gonna fight the minator?
@@smileyface768 I think that was the experience for the psychonaughts
This is my favorite ancient history channel. There is simply nothing better than this.
U know, it is!
Altought it's good 🙃
Brien Forester is good too.
what’s the awesome beat at the beginning would be lovely to have a reference.
yessirrrr
@@ukeedge2761fiftydollardynasty is the artist I think
Once Hawass is gone there might actually be progress made in archaeology in Egypt.
Man I sure hope so. I hold faith that in our lifetime history will be rewritten
He’s the guy stopping any real progress from being made?
I have watched that Man obstruct and obfuscate for over 30 years. When will it end.
Billy Wardlaw if he’s the guy stopping that ballon drone thing from happening, then he’s got to go.
Sadly, no. Corruption reigns. Still, with that devil harwass and his sticky fingers in crooked friends.
Hawass is probably busy stealing all that gold. Like he robbed the Sphinx, who will one day wreak revenge.
Yes that was what I was thinking king , who will wreck revenge ...WHO .?
I don't know why Hawass tries so hard to suppress this stuff, according to him its because 'no one else knows what they are talking about'.
My theory is he is on someones payroll , someone who wants modern Egypt to be known as the descendants of the pyramid builders--when it is more likely modern Egyptians moved in after as nomads, and this info hurts someones feeling or wallet. Pride and greed often ruin things for everyone. Egypt is already an incredible tourist destination, and the people are so friendly that adding a more advanced tourism circuit and allowing truth to guide the narrative of modern Egypt could change things dramatically, and maybe Hawass' handlers don't want that.
It’s probably only partially that. Imagine how much gold and valuables he’s been able to keep for himself and his handlers. There are many reasons why this information is being withheld.
@@Ben-pz7wo ...i know people with egyptian gold they got from their grandparents when they would go to egypt in the 60's and grave robbers would sell stuff to tourists...:( maybe if the economy were a little better managed the people wouldn't feel the need to sell off their heritage...mind you im pretty ignorant on the matter so i dont know 100% of the story
Yes, but I don't at all understand why whoever would make *less* money if a new narrative became accepted..? Why is it less "cool" if we find out an ancient civlization built parts, the pyramids were something else -- isn't anything more interesting than a tomb? -- etc? I don't get it. The story we've been told excites noone anymore, and clearly basically no experts oif any field beleive in it either.
@@SimonHaestoe Yea. I mean they could just lie and say the Egyptians built it even if they didnt.
Major deliberate cover up of history by Hawass and his cronies.
Finally! I had heard about this right after it happened in a news article and thought "man, I can't wait to see what kind of amazing things they discover here in the next few years". Fast forward a few years later and there's no new discoveries, nothing to report, and I couldn't even find any news articles about it. Fast forward another few years and I forgot what exactly they discovered, just that they discovered something so significant that it would rival the Pyramids themselves. Been driving me crazy for years, even more so since I started watching this channel, and now that unanswered mystery has been solved. You may not be solving the ancient world's mysteries with every video, but you sure solved the one that had me doubting my own memory and sanity LOL
Just imagine the frustration of the archaeologists who know what lies beneath and are prevented from making discoveries which could re-write the history of man...all because of petty politics and jealousies.
Thank you for including the complete accounts of the old historians.
look at the image that appears @ 11:47. In the middle of it is a strange square that I have seen before.... in Southern California (where I live). I seen an almost identical pattern on a rock called "The Hemet Maze Stone". Nobody can explain where it came from, who made it and for what purpose but (if memory serves me correctly) it is part of some 200 other stones that are found threw out the whole southern part of the state and on down into mexico. The Hemet Maze Stone is found in/near the city of Hemet, California if you wanna do a google search it comes right up. I even think that I posted pics of my trip to it on my google profile. I think that its worth checking it out at the least. let me know what you find out or if you want to see my pics of it. Good luck.
Ya spot on good work glad to see someone bring this to light these a lot of work ahead
There is a storm of thoughts in my mind now. The knowledge that there is that INSANE structure waiting for us to find underneath the sand, is just mindblowing.
And everything inside is likely to be completely submerged in salt water that's corroding it down to nothing, while the world has plenty of time, resources, money, and interest to completely excavate and salvage the entire complex. All because of some dude that is actively opposing any work to be done on it.
It is surely a crime against humanity that the Egyptian Antiquities Department actively decline to share our collective history transparently and freely. The twin scourges of corruption and political Islam are anathema to the genuine pursuit of rediscovery and preservation.
Change who controls the narrative of world history and here's a hint it isn't Egypt only than will some truth finally come out. Otherwise it's just another megalithic structure that nobody can explain or dare too try.
@@1800imawake they are just easier to see in Egypt as there hasn't been 12500 years of soil layered over the remains.
A lot is already found but kept from public knowledge. This isn't just Egypt's history, this is humankind's history.
I wish I had a time machine.
I'd love to see how this labyrinth would have looked as it was intended. It sounds extraordinary
We got a Time Masheen
I'd rather see how it was built.
All you want waits for you in death unless u go to hell then u screw
@@sockdip69it's like... far
One name always pop ups as a person who impedes discovery --- Hawass.
Don't worry he has been deposed from all his official positions in the past. New game, new chances!
'I'm a scientist'
'Shame on you! !'
@@mephistofaustus8280 that may be so, but what of his far reaching tentacles (not testicles) that may influence others?
Zahi is just puppet for the dictatorship ruling now in egypt, he is most like replaced by someone like him.
He's just the scrape goat guys
I remember when the ground penetrating radar found it but the government wouldn't allow any exploration.
if they tell the public about this, more people will start questioning the true age of humanity
I'm nearly 60 !
Also its origins?
@@brikfiend don't be crazy there's no evidence you are 60! You are 25 tops
The scale of your work, is what “Loose Change” did for 9/11. Epically Important. Your researching and presentation has the same depth as the Ground Penetrating Radar used to reveal the Labrynth itself. Thank you so very much !! Please keep it going. If there is anything I could humbly assist with,, legwork and paperwork.... I’d be delighted. Again. Thank you so very much. !!!!
I just noticed something about the picture of the Labyrinth at 11:53.
The square maze in the center is actually an aerial view of an 8-sided pyramid - the only 8-sided pyramid that has been discovered is the Great Pyramid of Giza.
I wonder if each one of these square sections surrounding the pyramid in the center correspond to a different ancient megalithic site. Maybe they are clues? This is complete speculation, but I’m going to do some research on it.
I agree, did you find out anything, I have more questions than answers
Woah!
people need to be speculative and be able to get together and talk about what the possibilities are. If we allow the government to control what we eat, see, and hear then we are not free at all.
Map isn’t historically accurate. There has been radar mapping of the area and it’s not as grandeur as the artists imagined.
This was, by far, the most comprehensive video of the Egyptian labyrinth that I have ever seen. Awesome job as usual!
Cool subject. Egypt should drop what they are doing collectively and start digging. There is so much still to be discovered.....would be a huge tourism benefit not to mention what we would all find. Inspiring.
Just like in the past, current survival is all that matters to humans. Even in the ancient past, they stripped great relics for their own survival and civilization. Today is no different.
If our real history comes to the hive mind then the ruling families will be done for
How much tourism dollars are going to be brought in because of that site? How much cost to dig that site? How much cost to make it safe and maintain? They are way in debt to begin with.
then we would learn that money is worthless and that would piss off the handlers.
;)
They dont want to be proven liars. Plus Bosnia is a tourism threat, so, they will hold the good stuff until its time to steal their thunder......ridiculous.
It’s amazing how much of this you can seen even on google earth! There’s got to be something left of this structure underground, specially if it was as massive as it’s been recorded throughout history. Great video! Hope somebody gets in there to save this site.
Too late, it’s flooded, and has been for a long time, no chance of any genuine, open archaeology on this site in the near future, so the water and the earth shall reclaim it, just what they (Egyptian government) want. So sad.
@@elliotwalwyn5036 I don't think it's what they want, I think they just totally screwed the pooch on the flooding of it inadvertently, (since they had no proof it existed still) and saved face by silencing archaelogical reports of it. Since they frequently need western technology and expertise to explore for them, yet consistently control and hoard whatever is found inside, this may become an impasse due to greed and hubris.
@@elliotwalwyn5036 Assuming the excuse of the water table is true and not an exaggeration, the granite doesn't rot. It's probably all still there.
@@uptoolate2793 Granite doesn't rot but it weathers. A little water in the San Gabriels helps make the sand of SoCal beaches for example.
@old man strength zahi hawass
I get so excited when I find a notification from you about a new video. This one is amazing! I had no idea that something like this even existed! What a find and what a disappointment that it hasn't been able to go further. I loved your quotes from ancient historians, as well as Petrie's writings. What a conscientious and thorough explorer he was. Don't you just wish you could have had a conversation with him or accompanied him on his explorations? I'd like to recommend to you and your viewers a video I saw recently by a pair of historians in the U.K. who call their channel, "The Prehistory Guys". They remind me so much of your open minded questioning of antiquity and your thoroughness to detail. They spent 8 years making their documentary of "Standing With the Stones" about all of the thousands of megalithic structures in the British Isles. Though over two hours long, it is well worth watching. The photography is stunning and they actually visited almost every site in the UK which extends well beyond what I even knew about the variety and abundance of megalithic sites. One of the comments they make often in the film is the problem of being able to accurately date a site. Because so many megalithic sites have existed for thousands of years more than we can even imagine, they have been re-occupied, built over, altered and incorporated in later sites so often that even when organic material is found, it may only be from one of the re-occupations and not the original builders. Also, they state that though archeologists want so much to give a purpose or reason for the structure, there is no way from our modern perspective that we can even guess the purpose and how it was built. (as you have said, many times!). Here is the URL for this fascinating video and another intriguing channel for open minded people who love prehistory. th-cam.com/video/Iq4xM8TLWc0/w-d-xo.html
Greeting's, I had heard about this expedition and research but then. . . crickets!
Hawass of course! one wonders how much has been plundered by that pirate. Space based
ground penetrating radar is producing amazing results! Thank you and be well.
Hey mate all the best. Phil. 👍😊
@@mikedrop4421🤣😂👌
What has Hawass plundered?.
@Howard Black Thank you for your support, be well.
Fascinating. Your presentation style makes the subject matter come alive like no other. Nice pace and not sensationalized. I’m hooked!
I had no idea the Great Labyrinth was so vast or detailed, so this was fascinating to learn more and to know they've actually found it's location! Love learning about these ancient mysteries.
I think the reason Haw ass refused further investigation is his well founded knowledge that none of these great works were done by Egyptians. But of an earlier profoundly more advanced civilization.
Either Hawass rules with an iron fist, or his associates are even more short sited than him. Opening up Egypt to excavate and unearth this, obvious, lost ancient advanced early "Egyptian" civilization (be they the survivors of Atlantis, or whatever) could bring tourism and wealth to this country at a never before seen level. Why is he so enamored with the Dynasties? He knows they didn't build any of this...but earlier Egyptians did. It really make no practical sense.
If it is not Egyptian.. He has no right over it :D
and Humanity has a right to explore it and preserve it!
@powder no,that's the mind set that has Palestine been wiped from the map.
@@byronwheeler4210 Could potentially be a race, or religion, thing..
I've crawled thru every single video of yours, and I want more. You're an incredible presenter of ideas, thank you so much for these.
Fascinating! It is frustrating/sad such a site could be devastated by erosion/neglect/political incompetence.
Well, it sounds like the real damage was done long ago, as people scavenged the materials for other uses. I don't know that I'd call that "incompetence" - it was really just people trying to get by in the world, and it happened long before anyone recognized the cultural importance of the site. It really is a shame, though - I do wish it was all still there for us to explore. :-)
@@xl000 we aren't talking about the sands through the hourglass, O Deep Thinker.
We're talking about one guy holding up any research or release of information while actual sites deteriorate further.
@KipIngram Sure, many sites were looted throughout history. The sites that weren't looted have been kept off-limits even to thermal photography for decades now.
Why?
We may not be able to do anything about the damage done in the past one or two thousand years, but I don't understand why you've chosen to ignore the obfuscation and fuckery of the last 50.
I find your comment (and your apparent dismissal of all these truth-seeking efforts as "Oh well, too bad there's nothing there in the whole entire world, ha ha I typed a smiley face") kind of silly, frankly.
Oh, and it's 2020, you can add an emoji keyboard to your browser so your smiley faces can look better in the future. 🤟😂🤞
@@devodavis6454 You took my comment entirely the wrong way. I'm in NO WAY dismissing the damage that's been done in the last 50 years - at least I didn't mean to be. I was just noting that it might be the case that there would be nothing much to find even if the last 50 years hadn't occurred. No way to know for sure.
I'm completely and TOTALLY against these guys that are blocking further knowledge about these things.
Sorry I phrased that so badly as to produce your reaction. Stay safe.
DEVO DAVIS Some of is are old school and prefer old school smilies :) I started on the internet in the early 90s before there was any graphics, when it was text only and I guess I still prefer the old smilies. KipIngram is perhaps the same.
What a marvelous work you do! yours is by FAR my favorite new channel...I appreciate your thorough research, amazing footage, and your narration is second-to-none...
Thank you!
You’re doing a great job. I love your channel. I bought Christopher Dunne’s book The Giza Power Plant after listening to your interview. And this vid is extremely fascinating. I’ve been reading and listening, watching docs etc about ancient civilizations but had never heard the labyrinth even mentioned. Thank you for telling me about it
This is the best music/content combination ever. This is exactly what I need now. I love you bro!
Wow, this is so incredibly fascinating! A superb video, really insightful and teasing, too. I want to know more! Awesome upload. Thank you for your sterling work. 👍
Those historical descriptions of the Labyrinth are, as you say Ben, mind blowing. The idea something that awe inspiring was mined and deconstructed is equally mind blowing. Thanks for the well investigated information on this site.
Man, can’t thank you enough. This is exactly the information I’ve been searching for. Much appreciation citing all the old tales of these classic historians accounts of one of the worlds greatest mysteries 🙏
He's back - YES!
Yessss! 💪
Hawass?
Please consider supporting UnchartedX via the value-for-value model at unchartedx.com/support ! Here's hoping public awareness grows and that the great labyrinth of Egypt has a future... Also, I have a discord server, you can find it here: discord.gg/BQRQMMR
I shared this on a few history pages I hope it blows up for you
Great work, thank you
1500 rooms to a level? 90 steps from one level to the next? Do you think that only the top level was deconstructed in the past? 2 levels? The entire structure down to the foundation?
New tech has been developed in the last ten years that can map the underground. They might have it clearly mapped already. I mean DARPA.
You provide great quality content man for us common folks. Much love and respect from india. Cant afford to support you financially.. But i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work.
I used to watch Mrbmbb333 until I realized that he was connecting things that were unrelated. He is a discredit to valid alternative research in my experience. Want an example or five? If you watch him, I am sure you know what I mean. Lets see...Faded license plates are not proof that the sun has gotten brighter in Arizona. It was an actual run of new style plates that was the problem. I watched that vid of his and researched the subject for myself. Took 5 minutes. He makes supposed "evidence" fit his current topic. He is NOT a researcher. He is willfully dishonest, or else he believes everything he proposes. That takes away any credit from any valid statement or finding he makes. Not good. His approach is not one of open question, but of already having it all figured out and making the pieces fit.
@@hyperluminalreality1 yes exactly...i saw one or two clips..it was not convincing science...and inferences are already made, logic is acting backward...
Excellent as always Ben!...Your work,all of it.Expanding on the works of the great men to whom you always pay homage,past and present is so important.Thanks.
You know I took a old map the earliest of its kind and realized the coast of Libya coast was different then the old map so I decided to see where the difference's were and used google earth to look at the land submerged in water and there's all kinds of structures under the water close to the shore that are easily visible. Take a look very interesting times we live in.
Can you provide some Google Earth coordinates so we can share in your findings? That or the map in question. I love finding these old structures and I know how much our coast line has changed over the years. I bet there's tons of discoveries hiding just off shore in many places
@@joshuakuehn It was a while ago man I don't remember. I watched a documentary on a show called TIMELINE about a early map and noticed the water was different in the pictures of current maps thus taking into the equation of where the shore was and all along the coast there are buildings and structures under water. All I remember is that it was a old Libyan town that is in the west and doesn't exist now a days. I put it all together myself lol. good hunting on google earth! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
Hell to the yizzeh!
( Cheers ben, pumped for this despite needing to be up for work in a few hours :D )
It seems once again obvious that history with quite awesome ancient “builders & skilled people” is much, much, much (3x) older than is usually accepted by the main-stream cohorts ! This humbles me and ignites awe and amazement that deeply inspires
Remember sitting in my car at 2 am in 2010 listening to someone from the expedition talk all about it on coast to coast and it seemed then like the world was about to hear about somethin major. Glad you're revivifying these discoveries! Thanks for your efforts and service!!
Amazing, thank you for the fascinating video; loved the inclusion of the accounts of the ancient historians.
I hope they can excavate, explore, document, & preserve this grand underground site! It must by spectacular according to the accounts of the ancient historians; please don't let history go to waste!
This video blew my mind. I have read the Herodotus book on Egypt, and I always thought it was all bs. It is incredible how accurate the things he describes actually exist.
Was literally rewatching older UX videos when this one came up, THANKS BEN! Hope you're doing well.
LOL- I thought I was the only person who did this.
@@j.sarnak1391 You're never alone comrade
Ben, I am *loving* your stuff. FINALLY, someone who's staying focused on hard objective information, and not going off into the weeds and talking about aliens whose home world collided with Earth in the distant past. This is the kind of arguing we NEED - I can't tell you the number of Egypt videos I've watched and nodded in agreement with at the beginning only to quit in disgust before the end. Some people arguing in this field are just too far out in left field to be taken seriously. But you are getting it right, my friend. Really hoping you're able to continue beating this drum.
Stay safe and well out there!
Best video yet. Production, editing, voice and speach patterns, volume level, subject matter, actual newish information . Good job
I really enjoyed this episode, lots of work I'm sure putting together all these elements of discovery.
I'd sub to this channel for the music choice alone; love your work brother. Thank you for your efforts in re-discovering our wonderous past.
Just discovered your channel today and I love it. This is my third video in a row. Not sure how I didn’t find this sooner, all of these topics are of intense interest to me as an engineer and amateur historian. Especially Egyptian history. I can’t get enough. And a wonderful distraction from toxic American politics. I love stretching the boundaries of established, orthodox thought like this, considering all the possibilities. The mystery is wonderful. Can _not_ get enough.
Will be signing up with one of the sponsorship methods soon. Thanks again for all your hard work!
Check out his serapeum series, amazing info
My friend, I worked on the Olympic Dam expansion project in South Australia. We were going to dig out the biggest open pit mine on earth. The site would have been the size of an entire city. To do this we had to lower the water table. How you do this is place a circular ring of boreholes. These then pump the water out. Not cheap, but could definitely be done to protect the labyrinth AND maintain agricultural water supply to Egypt farmers. The pumped out water can be channelled overground to ensure agricultural water is provided to farmers.
Great episode with plenty of info. I must do follow up video on some of the info in this episode. Thanks for the inspiration.
Me: I'm so glad I'm finally getting this insomnia under control.
UnchartedX: Hahahahahaha, good one. So have you heard about this HUGE DISCOVERY!?!?
just wow! 😯 another amazing video thanx Ben & I’m not sure how I missed this one before, but cool to discover new content 😊 I’m here after u mentioned the labyrinth on the Amish podcast.
I have never heard of this site & it sounds bloody spectacular. It’s just heartbreaking it has not been excavated & may be lost forever 🙁 what wonders could we find down there? what knowledge could we gain about our past? the size and multiple levels of all that stone. WOW. these original builders were just masters, it blows my mind. every time! it also makes me think what is under the great pyramid and the causeway? hearing yourself & the snake bros talk about Yusef kicking sand down the cracks most of his life…not to mention the thousands of years of sand blowing down there. ahh man it’s just sooo fascinating & I so can’t wait to join you on tour someday!
hiii & love from aussie 🐨 xo
Very good documentary, which I will share with my family this week... Keep up the good work Ben!!
Gest start on a Sunday morning. Thanks Ben.
Fantastic presentation as usual Ben, thank you! But oooohhhhh the frustration that builds up each time I hear that fascist Egyptian gatekeeper's name mentioned!!
I have been following the work of Graham Hancock, Mr. West etc for years and I just found your videos- they are fantastic, thank you for doing them! In this video, as you talk about the fayun and the water/irrigation of peoples in the distant past. I recall my travels into Cambodia, Angkor Was and the bayun-system of irrigation that seems to have a striking resemblance not only in the name but the connecting channels between the larger pools....
Hi Ben. Wonderful commentary on a very important remnant of our history. Hope to dig on this in my lifetime.
I hope I live to see this site properly excavated. It sounds absolutely stunning.
Well, I just learned a ton of stuff I didnt know. That was a great vid Ben :)
Ever since Dr Carmen Bulture came forward with her findings I found it odd so much time had passed without further reactions from around the world considering the importance of such a finding. This my friend is the best documentary I have ever watched on the continuous journey to uncover deliberate coverup of the truth behind human history in the region of Egypt. I could not stop watching. Thank you so much for the level of detail to include many past historians and their written accounts next level!
Fantastic video
I will have to look at it again and again as there is so much within it
Phil
Hey Ben! I just stumbled across this new project of yours on LinkedIn. I didn't realize my old coworker was this cool? Amazing stuff!
Always a good watch when learning.
Great video as always Ben! Always glad to see an upload from you!
This video is great, thanks for covering this topic..previously unknown to me.
Bravo Ben!
Dude, drop me a line. I like to play in Fayoum doing stuff i shouldnt. Normally i do what i do in the Red Sea, but my love of caves, air tanks, and water have led me to Fayoum of all places. We dive, and what we found...is beyond any words man has come up with. The entrance is quite far from the Pyramid itself, the intention was not originally archaeological, but the more we dove the more canisters we realized we needed next time. The more canisters we brought the more we realized we needed to bring, and on and on.
interesting....
take some pics
Just cause I don't see a comment about this yet...freakin' love the intro music to pretty much all your videos! Content is unmatched! Much Love, hope everyone is well!
Great video, a ton of research ..as always. Your videos have become a source of knowledge as far as I'm concerned because of the research you do. 👏👏 I'm so happy you are such a curious guy👍.. Thank you so much
Excellent presentation and great editing/writing. Thank you.
Fascinating stuff, thanks Ben.
Hell yeah! Been waiting for a deep dive into this subject and so glad it’s you Ben that’s covering it.
I remember when I was going deep into this field research a couple years back I spent a multiple full late nights awake toiling away trying to find this documentary that was supposedly shown to a group of researchers, writers, Egyptologists, anthropologists, etc. at a conference in 2000 and then never to be shown again. I believe the doc was called “Chambers of the Deep,” and was planned to be released to the public but never was. Zahi Hawashedup Greasy Theory Alert, Possibly? Hide that info from the public? 🧐 I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. Shame on you, if so, sir
I'm so grateful for these videos, they are just amazing. I don't have much to give except my gratitude for your great work, so thank you! I've been trying to pay it forward by telling all my friends and family about your channel, I hope others do the same.... hopefully to the point where there is enough gravity around the subject to catalyze more excavation.
So glad I found this channel! Finally all evidence consolidated in one place. Would love to see something on Petra-- I know it's older than they tell us.
Was watching previous vids earlier today. Here is a new one. YEAH. Thanks Ben.
Damm- I now know that there are others like me who watch old Ben videos
@@j.sarnak1391 I have watched the precision videos over and over. The Improbable Timeline vid is good. The Maps of the Sea Kings is a real good one. The Core drill vid. The South America vids. I went and tipped him 10 bucks today. Thanks again Ben.
What perfect timing! Thanks man!
Hes back!! Anxiously waiting for a new upload. Tremendous as always.
Autor, you are a very good, punctual researcher, investigator. Also, the way your brain works, where you can analyze, organize and compartmentalize the data you work with is impressive. You are a very talented filmmaker as well. You should be proud of your achievements. Thank you
This breaks my heart, to just let something like this erode because of Ego and greed is a real tragedy.
Loved this episode so much - watched it twice. I can't really afford being a patrion yet mate, but I shared this as much as I could to get you viewers.
Best of luck! Excited for the next episode. I look forward to these above other channels!
Excellent work, Ben!! Would love a video on what we know, or think we know, about population levels in dynamistic times. I think the reason we are in ah of megalithic sites is intuitively we know how much work and how many people would be needed to quarry, shape and move millions of huge stones. How many men were needed, who supported them (food, shelter, etc.). It just seems logistically impossible to organize a culture with these capabilities, yet it happened.
Absolutely amazing research done here my man. Bravo. Would recommend this channel to anyone who's AWAKE! My mind is blown as always.
A great notification to see, cheers Ben!
Incredible. Egypt shouldn't have so much control over discoveries of a world heritage site such as this.
hey ben thank you for putting so much effort into this i really enjoy your videos :)
It was really irritating me when certain people we're not talking about the underground tunnels and Labyrinth and all that, I'm really glad to see people talking about them now! Channel is awesome and talks about all sides of the story and so on and so forth, awesome stuff!
Right as I was going to bed! I'll certainly watch in the morning
Edit: It took me a few hours to get to it this morning, but it was interesting, and very much worth the watch. Thank you for the amazing work all around Ben. You are quickly becoming a staple in this line of research and information
Most certainly. Can’t enjoy good content half-asleep.
I second that. Sweet dreams.
I can’t wait till morning it’s gonna be a late one😂
These are so well done, I am always filled with questions and ideas about future discoveries. I also learn a lot.
I am a former producer and can say these are well narrated, well written and well illustrated. I share Ben’s skepticism and his eager search for truth and answers. I look forward to new technology that allows us to non-destructively figure answers to so,e of these damn questions. I’m getting old fast and need an answer before My lifetime comes to an end,
Keep up with the good work.
You have no idea how much I love this channel my friend. What the hell is wrong with Hawass?? He’s one single man yet he stands in the way of so much of our history. He breaks my heart that man.
Thank you for sharing, I've been waiting to hear more about this.
Thank you Ben. This is very important work. I suspect that a reason for suppressing such information is that it would require a complete revamping of the current understanding of human history. Academia is not interested in learning new things, especially new things that disprove their current theories. A very unfortunate state of affairs. Your efforts to introduce the world to some of these bothersome objections to accepted views, will hopefully inspire others to take up the torch of real scientific inquiry, regardless of toes stepped on, or favorite theses overturned.
If the whole of the construction has districts “nomes”.
The scale of it is, as a city, not a building.
Or a building the size of a city, which is clearly implied by the ancient descriptions.
@@salamanca1954 Dont know if 60 000 square meters would count as a city. But, yeah, huge f'n building nonetheless!
good job..great info..loved this one...always straight forward..keep em comin..thank you!
WOW! Thank you for this excellent presentation, top-quality. I had been wondering about this lost labyrinth, you've answered many questions. Hopefully will be researched by archeological experts, eventually.
29:20 Just a small point, the agricultural irrigation is most unlikely to affect the level of the water table ... maybe a 1/1000 of 1% if that. Best to blame the Dam and leave it at that :-) A bigger question is: Why is the water salty?
My guess is that there is a lot of salt in the ground, making the water salty in those locations. But definitely a good point, and something I want to research now; thanks!
The building of the Aswan High Dam has caused multiple damaging effects: the SALT CONTENT now evident in the permanently elevated water table is sourced from the Delta area: a subsurface interplay of water movement in both directions due to the Aswan High Dam is causing percolation of the elevated table over all major sites of the remaining temples & structures, causing irremediable erosion from below.
This subsurface - upward deterioration is not isolated: in my home Moscow, a similar fate awaited the famous Bolshoi Theatre - the foundations of which were totally structurally compromised. ..the building somehow JUST hanging together.
In Egypt, the salt content makes a worse scenario than Moscow - what is being done by the Supreme Council of Antiquities & Egyptian Government ??
This requires international expertise.
Great points
Thank you,that was - as always - fascinating💥👊💯. Having spent much time in Egypt during the time of Sadat (my father being a friend)and more recently over the last 30 year,one quickly realises that THE ONLY THING that counts/matters ,as far as the present occupiers/owners of what we now call Egypt,is MONEY. Be it from tourism,generated by licenses for media production and most beneficial, blackmarket sales of antiques. The current occupiers of the country have created a narrative that gives them omnipotent control over everything. The spurious enforcement that they are guardians of their "ancecstors" achievements. Hawass, whose meretricious ego,can not be underestimated, simply keeps a file of projects - funded & carried out by others - ,which,he oversees & prioritises - exclusively - to his own advantage. Hence his current involvement in a project to "discover" the tombs of Cleopatra & Anthony. A woman who though world famous was simply the last of a Greek dynasty,at the end of 3/5 thousand years of the countries history & her Roman paramour, of course it's interesting,but,it's NOT ANCIENT EGYPT!?!
I understand why it's imperative that excellent researchers,like your good self do NOT,under any circumstances comment on the Hawass/Department of Antiquities; it's politics, if you do you'll loose ALL access to the country and ANY chance of further investigation. As for us,the hobbiests & interested amateurs, it's obvious from any average comment section,under any video attempting to quantify any narrative other than the one being pushed by the Egyptian authorities, that we've decided who to blame for lack of progress - Hawass - and yes,a vast amount of blame can be fairly laid at his feet,but, why don't we attack Mark Lehner, amongst others AND THE ENTIRE CORRUPT SYSTEM? Both men,though they adamantly deny it ,now,had/have connections to a strange foundation based on the ideas of Edgar Case! It was through this that Lehner managed to gain total control,along with his mate Hawass,over the Sphinx project,not bad for a man who first went to Egypt, as a 'student' - of nothing at that time,just with connections to the Case foundation! Today,he's the Head of The Giza Mapping Project & holds ENORMOUS power over pretty much anything to do with Egypt, it's his insistence that the ENTIRE Giza Necropolis was built in a span of 85 years and he is still the ONLY person who has had access to The Sphinx & produced the ONLY known scale map! Check out their involvement in Hawass's US degree,which he of course denies.
The Government is about to open the BIGGEST museum in the World,dedicated to its own agenda AND YET ONLY One to Five percent of the estimated sites of interest in the whole country have ever been actually explored. It has been estimated that over 70 million mummies were created (a VERY conservative figure),at one point they were ground up as an ingredient for paint,amongst other desecrations. The reality being that the government simply has ZERO interest in wastng money digging up more evidence that the people responsible for the WONDERS OF ANCIENT KEMET/KMT (which means people of the black land,the rich soil created by the annual flood of the River Ar/Aur,which we now know as the Nile),were NOT the people who inhabit the country today AND CERTAINLY DO NOT FOLLOW THE IDEOLOGY OF THE CURRENT STATE RELIGION! This amazing Labyrinth is just one of MANY THOUSANDS of wonders still to be discovered. www.dw.com/en/ancient-egypt-holds-priceless-treasures-yet-to-be-discovered/a-46849762. Your channel is superb and your videos & erudite narration among the very best out there. I can understand yours & others frustration at the lack of progress - particularly when there is good science backing up the reason to explore further - the sad reality,is that ,with no thanks to the like of Hawass,Lehner and the so called Department of Antiquities, nothing further is going to get done,that might pop their collective bubble of belligerence, particularly if it might prove or certainly question their fatuous narrative! Very best wishes to you,yours & anyone who's kindly read this far;apologies for any mistakes in my dyslexic rant😀👋🌟✌
Excellent information, great visuals, and, as always, kick ass background music!
Wow. What a good analysis. Thank you! Thank you for the work that you do!
A petition should be started to get this Labyrinth out in the open...
I would definitely sign :)
Unless Hawass "discovers" it or can put his name on it, it will be restricted. Suggest you investigate Brooks Agnew re ground penetrating tech, and their military uses and other.
If there's a scanner that can go that deep, it's new news to me. You are right, Ben, this would revolutionize so many fields. Great video, fascinating from beginning to end sir. Thank you.
Great video! Loving the new music. It makes me so sad that the authorities do not want to investigate or save this place. The rising water table is destroying so much.
