Well done! However, it wouldn’t have been the the Romans or the Greeks who took the capstone down. They respected the history too much. It was the radical Islamics who spent years trying to bring down the great pyramids, but had to give up. As it is they left large gashes and removed most of the casing stones. If the Greeks and Romans never lost control of Egypt in the 6th/7th century, they would still be intact as well as the great lighthouse of Alexandria!
Long before us like before the last ice age. Modern man is too full of it to consider this fact. Forget about the fact we couldn't reproduce them is we tried
Capstone? Have they checked the basement at the British Museum of Art? A joke I read this week. Why are the Pyramids in Egypt? Because they were too big to move to the British Museum of Art
It has been argued that the Pyramids aren't depicted in hieroglyphs because the technology was akin to a national secret. But if there were tens of thousands of people involved in the construction, how big of a secret was it, really ? How is there not a single reference to the construction in any written or oral record anywhere else in the region or on earth?
This is something I’ve considered as well. The Pyramid’s construction methods could have been purposely hidden because they were monuments that elevated Egypt’s status beyond the rest of the known world-why would you ever make it known who you achieved those feats, just so other people could copy them? Hard to say for sure
There was a papyrus found that was deciphered to be Imhotep requesting workers bring granite from a quarry for the work being done on the pyramids or the plateau. Granted, I'm of the opinion that 'work on' doesn't necessarily mean, 'building of'. I still have questions.
@@lukecaverns so would they have to kill or imprison the many people who were involved to keep the methods and technology a secret? There are similarly ancient, inexplicable massive structures in s. America suggesting that the tech was well traveled and widely understood-- i.e. not so secret.
@@francischambless5919 Hm.. not sure if it was Imhotep.. I haven't found any papyrus referring to him ordering the transport of granite to the Giza plateau. Unless you have a link? I think you might be mistaking him with the Papyrus of Merer which supposedly is a ship master's journal, found in a cave in 2013 (kinda suspicious), logging tura limestone being sent to "Akhet-Khufu" (some take to be the name of the great pyramid. I agree, shipping does not equate building. Imhotep was assumed to be the architect of the Step-pyramid of Djoser (1st king, 3rd dynasty, old kingdom) at Saqqara, since he was his chancellor or vizier (overseer of the kings works). This was way before the time of the (assumed) building of the great pyramids. He definitely died before that. The line of succession goes: Djoser (c. 2630bce) , Sekhemkhet (2645), Sanakht (2640), Huni (2615), Sneferu (2613-2589, 1st Pharaoh of the 4th dynasty), then Khufu (2543-2436). Huni may have started the red pyramid (built of red limestone) and was finished by Sneferu. If Imhotep lived long enough, it is possible he could have been around to 'advise' on the building of the Red pyramid, but that Pyramid is at Dashur. Not Giza. He likely died during the reign of Huni. But yeah the step pyramid was made of sandstone quarried from the area surrounding and beneath it locally. White tura limestone encased it. There was no granite involved in the building of the step pyramid, or commissioned by Imhotep.
The majority of surviving hieroglyphs were engraved on stone monuments and temples. These naturally cover topics like affairs of state, proclamations, religious texts, etc. rather than the finer details of stonemasonry. They did keep records of TONS of other stuff, trade and management of workers and even the construction of other monuments. These were recorded on papyrus, however, and the vast majority of the papyrus record decayed naturally thousands of years ago. The stuff that survived had to stay dry and untouched for several thousand years, long before climate controlled exhibit cases were a thing. Its really hard to say if any records existed, and if so, who knew about them. It's likely your average egyptian was illiterate though, so I don't know if they would need a lot of effort to hide the pyramid's secrets in plain sight.
The capstones ended up in another empire, cannot remember the name but it had an oval track they raced around and the pyramidions and other artifacts were on display in the middle of the course. When i saw this it was quite well documented.
Definitely. Soon as someone could they would. I've read that there was a massive earthquake in 1303 that loosened the casing stones. Supposedly before that no one could find a way to break them free.
Good vid. Was wondering about this exact thing the other day, and what spurred that thought was learning the pyramid has 144,000 outer stones. That number’s famous from the Book of Revelation, which makes sense since Egypt and the area where Revelation was written are both in the same region of the world. But what’s wild is that the Mayans, far away across the Atlantic, used the same number in their calendar to mark the amount of days in a Baktun. Plus, there are 144,000 seconds in a day. So I’m guessing it’s all connected to time or calendars somehow.
I'm not sure that they would have been able to count the seconds in a day back then though lol. The days most likely were not broken down into individual hours but instead the simple sunrise, midday, the part of the day where the day turns into evening, and then of course the sunset or dusk. But we just do not know, so I guess people can happily create fantasies of those ancient times which themselves could be wrong or could be right. Whatever the ancient worlds (I say worlds because the world changed so many times in the ancient past and varied a lot during certain times) were really like, I guarantee that they were nothing like we think they were lol
@@bigbasil1908 The math embedded into the Great pyramid shows they were no slouches. Base 60 in time seems an odd thing, 144000/60 = 2400 not significant but is a round number and could have been done as knowledge of the segments of time. We may never know.
I have a theory this was done unconsciously. Reason being is that I'm currently perceiving a parallel in this day and age with everything from art to film to music to literature as well as structural architectural design. I believe this culture was so in tuned with the universe (God) that this natural set of mathematical constants we now find is no different than all nature and the universe. Just a theory tho.
But I'll also add the 144k stones has truth. I believe in Isaiah it says something about casting out living stones. I see this action of humans taking the stones to build new buildings as a symbolic parallel to us pulling away and losing our collective connection to the natural universe. Rev. Also speaks of the 14400 "being sealed" . Pretty ironic if you ask me. There are no coincidences in this reality. Only statistical probability and ignorance.
There are hieroglyphs in the Great Pyramid. The book "Journeys to the Mythical Past" has a photo of it, above the main/true entrance to the pyramid. It is 3 different glyphs, one looks like waves, another looks like a circle with an X inside, and the other I don't remember rightly. But it does have glyphs. Also, if we consider that Egypt had been conquered by invading armies, then it is very possible it was taken as a prize and then left out as a display of power to those who visited.
Archaeologists arent stone masons, structural engineers, engineers, scientists, astronomers, geologists and have little to no construction experience. They are story tellers. They should never have been given the power to write history and its so wrong. All of them professions should go in first. Then give the evidence to archaeologistd to work with. Men pulling 75ton granite beams, if you work in construction, is beyond absurb. Completely insane. Building site tower cranes lift 20tons. Cranes.
We are forgetting how massive the great pyramid is. People on ground level, looking up can barely see the summit of the pyramid. It would have been absolutely blinding to look at by the white limestone. I doubt any fancy capstone actually existed for the great pyramid. Even at a great distance, the pyramids would shine so bright from reflected sunlight, that no capstone would be really seen.
The pyramids and the Sphinx apparently predate the ancient Egpytians. The water erosion on the base of the Sphinx indicates a heavy reinfall in the area, which has been dry over the last 5000 years.

Having visited Egypt I agree, they still can't even knock up a two story house without it collapsing ..
Loved your last video, bravo, like the poise of your work, simple and easily understandable. Thanks for not necessarily pushing the scholar narrative of the great pyramid being a pharaoh final destination. To me the great pyramid is a functional structure, no doubt, and way more older than even believe.
One Capstone is in Mecca the tower they walk around. One of our Uncles was a high priest whatever you call it and said it's a black pyramid shape rock.
There’s two potential capstones in the museum in cairo/Giza. They’re about 6’/1830mm2 at their base. Other worldly material apparently. They look like two massive pyramids of slate with hieroglyphics etched along the lower sides
After reading the comments section, I see a lot of questions that can be found in Sumerian texts. I looked at the ( "A Great Hoax in the Great Pyramid of Egypt?) and it too was not researched well. All of the ideas that are listed are a good try for people who weren't there and were my thoughts before I found the source that tells the whole story. If we look at the religions of the Persians, Akkadians, Sumerians and Babylonians we see they all considered Zoroastrianism as true, true, true. One book stands out from the rest because it tells the history of earth for 445,000 years and answers all the questions I see here. The cap stone called the Ben Ben stone was moved to Mount Sinai, the location Moses got the 10 commandments because the Great Pyramid was destroyed in the Pyramid wars. The whole story of why, who and when the Pyramids were built can be found in The Lost Book of Enki tablet # 10, 11 and 12. The names of the people involved in this project are converted into Egyptian in tablet # 14. You can read the texts or have someone tell the story from the texts. Happy researching.
The great pyramid with its polished casing stones would have acted as a positive streamer. That's to say it would have behaved like a very large tip of a lightening rod plumbed directly in to the ground. It would have helped protect the pyramid from lightening strikes by neutralising the clouds directly above it. This would happen with or without a capstone, only the efficiency would be affected.
@@Greatpileofnonsense sci fact. research how lightening rods work. they all do this as their primary function but they're so useless at it that not many people are aware its a thing. The reason they're so useless at it is because of the relative size of a lightening rod tip compared to a storm cloud. When the lightening rod tip is the great pyramid with its 13 acre footprint then it works a lot better, when you've got three huge positive streamers next to each other like at Giza then it'll work even better still.
What’s crazy is our world stumbles on without truly understanding the depth of our past. The truth of the past seems suppressed. Libraries burned, cyphers destroyed and our truth quieted to a whisper. Thank you for bringing us some light 🤘🙏
No, no, no, with that kinda knowledge comes unspeakable power. That's why the keepers of that knowledge will never allow you to know anything about it. They will protect this knowledge until the next great deluge.
Very interesting! When I was a child I remember hearing or reading that they thought that the capstone was gold. That was over 60 years ago and we did get the magazines “National Geo”, Science and many others. My family traveled a lot and my extended family wer missionaries all over the world who often came and visited with slide shows and old movies. Fascinating question that I’ve always wondered about. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. From California.
The problem is the size and height of the great pyramid. Any single capstone would have to be absolutely enormous in order to be visible staring up at the pyramid from the desert floor. Whatever material it was made of, it would not be visible from afar.
From all the different takes I've seen the best so far is by TheLandofChem who says they were built to create and harness lightening and as such would not have had a cap stone.
The pyramids were likely meant as a means of trade navigation. They match Orion's belt to a T and can then be used to know where to navigate long distances because suddenly in the night sky you have Orion's belt as and as long as you follow the direction to Orion's belt, you should be able to make it to Egypt. They didn't account for continental drift or other methods. But the point of it was trade and being able to navigate back to Egypt.
The capstone is buried along with Apocalypse in the deep ground. The stone was being used to complete transfer ritual for mutant god En Sabah Nur aka Apocalypse.
You will need to dig deeper here Luke. There is zero chance that this was built by the Egyptians. In fact Thoth the Atlantean takes credit for building it in the Emerald Tablets. Check it out man!
I really believe that the composition of the stone material was more pertinent than the color of the stone used. I think physical properties were known and used. Beauty would be a happy accident.
To bring that cap stone all the way down smoothly without damaging both the pyramid and the cap stone is not an easy task to do ... very complicated 🤔 Great content ❤ J.
Most pyramid were coated by limestone deposits ,like those in Egypt , with a wide and massive structures as well as Thier heights which is enough to absorb atmospheric water to sustain within the torrid regions just like rocky mountains that are source of spring water as it absorb atmospheric water
It could’ve been washed off? If you look at Khafres pyramid, the casing stones are still in place. I know it is a wild speculation…🤷🏻♂️😂…It dates the pyramids of Giza to a much older date than is currently believed.
What if there was no capstone in the first place? Pyramids were made of dielectric materials that would have stored positive charges at the surface from the telluric currents of the earth. The larger, flat surface area at the top would have aided in attracting lightning strikes. The great pyramid of Giza was used to produce ammonia on an industrial scale. The inner chambers of the pyramid would function in the same way as modern ammonia production methods. Part of a theory by Land of Chem (check out his channel) on the pyramids. Each different pyramid had a specific purpose and they were all interconnected
They must have been blinding when new and the sun reflected directly off of them. I wonder if areas around the pyramid were extremely hot due to the reflection. The hotspot would have moved throughout the day. With their convex sides, the light might even have been focused to the center.
Great video!! I can't wait to hear about your next Indiana Jones adventure into the jungles of Mexico. Still lots to discover in those jungles. They couldn't have raided everything before they abandoned their ancient cities.
How did they get them down? It’s doesn’t make since to put a cap stone that high, because nobody could read, they were just white all the way up, no cap stone
Isn't the simplest answer that the GP ben ben cap stone was destroyed when the casing was stripped? This seems especially likely if it was covered in gold.
Lots of false assumptions. There are lots of pyramids, they know who most of them were for. The 4th Dynasty ones are plain and don't name the Pharos(graffiti does however), but that's not the same for everyone else. Also, what astrological things are they aligned with? We need a bearing, an astrological item that it supposedly aligns with, for each pyramid, for each feature claimed to be related to astronomy. People make shit up all the time about the pyramids. I say they were aligned with the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Imagine the trillion air guy sitting around sipping a million dollar bottle of 200 year old wine admiring his cap stones for the great pyramids just smiling 😊
Ok. Thank you for bringing this up it appears to me as no easy task. And I mean the task of bringing this up alone. Let me recap. First I discovered that long long ago there were war towns constructed. And the thing about these war towns one the entrances are marked with two figures a sphere and a cube you will find these shapes at the entrenched entrances of these towns which I'd say r so old that no longer exist. Oh and they were extremely bias. Instead of telling you how or they did they just say Olmec and don't explain. Other town. But the war town is so much more bias well they're all bias cause they do not do any war or things they do in their town when you enter so. If you are there 0:00 all, and I believe they are also controlled by something, all their activities of how and what simple cube sphere how and what all their cubes and spheres are halted and ceased and only start up when you are no longer present. Your not going to tell me just say Olmec okay. So all this motion is going on so I wonder what is that movement. But it all stops when u get there silent no movement as if it didn't exist so. My conclusion is this or that wat town is not to be shared with you.i had full intention of rendering and giving my take on the cap stone. Take your pick that one. I am not like the war towns. But I've said much and I have the scroll ready and all together. I'll send you it later. Also for me to. Scroll fragments are concepts you'd like to turn into a scroll of you can. But I say not all fragments of scrolls can become a scroll. So they are fragments. Idk maybe my take on the cap stone is just a fragment. Moon fragment siun scroll. I'll tell you later and you decipher it as a scroll or a fragment. Thanks for sharing. I really mean that.😊 P.s. I will sub later. I'd like to get in board with accordance with what you're doing when I sub. So please just let me board if I am boarding.
Given the once polished finish, I have to assume the 8 sides would have been extremely obviously, originally. 9:18 - They're already seeing it with there own eyes. It's not like it's on the JumboTron
Dude why are all these egypt tours so expensive, all around 8k and without flights or insurance. Dude im gonna be retired by the time i can vist. Its so strange to me that people dont make these affordable, i guess thats the tour agencies not the guys like luke or ben but wouldnt it be good to promot these types of tours for students and young people. Id love to attend but its just unreasonable for me and i assume many others
And for lighting on full moons. Well reflection anyways. Or how some Egyptian walls a made from alabaster so when a LED light is placed on top it illuminates looks pretty awesome to me.
Ancient Egypt was a high African civilisation and all these rulers went there to witness greatness, until one day some got jealous and decided to conquer Egypt for themselves. How do you conquer a nation of people, you take out the people at the top first then you can rule the land. The Vatican has Egypt's treasures.
You should have a chat with Geoffrey Drumm from The Land of Chem. He hypothesizes that the pyramids were created and used for chemical manufacturing. Very compelling i must say. He addresses and speculates why the pyramids dont have a capstone
The first thing I thought of was …. They probably saw one of those pyramids that has been seen hovering above the capital, Moscow and a bunch of other places (there are pretty solid videos, if you believe them) and anyways, they wanted to replicate that image with a white pyramid caped with a black pyramid hence having the effect of making the cap stone look as if it’s flying or hovering
The Persians removed all the casing stones to build Cairo. If there was a cap stop they would have taken it too. All the other pyramids are copies of the great pyramid because the copycats didn’t know about the ascending passage to the kings chamber until way later. So none of the other pyramids have these features.
I believe the pyramids are well made mine tailings. I learned about this idea from a You Tuber called Curious Being. She did a couple videos about this. To me it makes the most sense, that they are well crafted, well contained mine tailings.
I would be wrong if I said a year, I remember the show was on The History Channel or the discovery channel. One of the local shop keepers the production staff visited was the keeper of THE MICA that was on top of one of the pyramids. Read The Giza Power Plant by Christopher Dunn.!!!!!
Depends if they took down some of the stones around the edges making them no longer smooth, but stepped. Then I assumed they could have built a wooden structure that would be stable to go up and begin taking parts of the gold cap down piece by piece until nothing remained.
Why the Egyptian Governement don't reconstruct the damage stones of the Pyramid, and try to make it same as you visualize on the 3D, i'm sure there would be more people visiting
I've written off finding the cap stone.At least in the form that it was.Especially when others were found in pieces.For all we know,some long forgotten cult buried it somewhere.If it was found in my lifetime,I'd be amazed.
Probably on the desert floor in bits.! If these were used for sending micro or radio waves etc, that would have been a huge amount of vibrations. No bodies were or have ever been found in any Pyramids. 🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I’d like to know how the pyramidions levered off the top without anything to lever off from. Or am I missing how they would otherwise come off, with any great difficulty
The capstone would most likely have been scavenged along with the white covering. This was done by the descendants of Ham, Noah's youngest son who took over that area. Originally it was known as the Land of Ham (or cham with the ch pronounced as a soft k, like Loch in Scottish). After Ham died, his son Egypt took over and renamed everything after himself, and it's been known by his name ever since. The reason why all megalithic stone structures worldwide are such a mystery, is they were pre-flood structures, built by the advanced people of the pre-flood world. There's no writing or graphics on them because the people of the pre-flood world had photographic memory. They didn't need writing because once they saw or heard something, they never forgot it and remembered it in perfect detail. This was how Noah was able to build the ark. God showed him in detail exactly what it should be, and Noah remembered every single bit of it. The pre-flood people were from the original blueprint pair of Adam and Eve, and didn't have any genetic defects. They were healthier, bigger, stronger and lived much longer than we do today. And even today there are still some individuals who have photographic memory, and it comes from the ancients. I suspect most of these gigantic structures, especially in Egypt were used for war. The entire pre-flood world was in terrible shape by the time God decided to erase it. As he said to Moses, "every inclination of their heart was toward violence." This is with a people who lived for centuries, had photographic memory, and undoubtedly had their versions of geniuses too. Take the hatred, division and hostility we have in our present world, and amplify it by ten. Now consider how long these people lived, and imagine those hatreds building up over centuries and how that would shape their obsessions with "stopping the enemy". Like our world, there were advanced groups, ordinary 'common' groups, and not so advanced groups. The advanced groups apparently engaged in alchemy which is the practice of gaining advanced knowledge through contacting the spiritual realm. In their case, the angels were giving them advanced knowledge. They were also into sorcery, which is the english translation of the Greek word Pharmakeia, which is the root of the word pharmaceutical. They were the chemists. Imagine what they could have learned after living and experimenting for centuries, combined with advanced knowledge being given to them (similar to what Nikola Tesla claimed). Those are the kinds of people who not only knew how to build something like the pyramid of Giza, but had the experience and means to do so, and.... a reason to. These were created to support a war effort. Whether it was global or regional, the size and stark nature of these structures gives an indication of how serious these wars must have been. They may have been about to do something that would have wiped out the world, and rather than let that happen and lose everything, God decided to step in and give them what they were working towards, but on his terms. If you read the Book of Revelation in the Bible, written almost 2,000 years ago, it looks like we may be about to reach that point once again. Between pharmaceuticals and nuclear weapons, we certainly have the means to bring it about. Is it a coincidence that we were given a 2,000 year heads-up advance warning? Not likely, but it just goes to show that even God can't fix stupid.
@@Greatpileofnonsense All air breathing life was destroyed except Noah and everyone in the ark, but it's foolish to think absolutely nothing survived in any way. The stone ruins found all over the world are testimony that something global happened, and that something was the great flood. The way the great pyramid was constructed, it would have survived. The way the stones are cut and fit together, as well as the fact that the base stones are also cemented together with some kind of thin compound, means this structure would have been capable of surviving, and it did.
@@Greatpileofnonsense Air breathing animals yes, but some things survived; the massive stoneworks of which we mostly have ruins. The great pyramid of Giza was an exceptional structure.
I think they are not missing, but we're never there. rather, the tops of the pyramids were probably landing pads for pyrimad-like shaped ships of the annunaki.
I cannot trace the exact source right now despite trying, but I recall reading that an isolated capstone that matched none of the characteristics of the local pyramids in terms of slope, etc. was found in another pyramid field, and surprisingly it was a match to the Great Pyramid. In terms of recent history there was a trend to take a relic from one place to sanctify a newer site, so just maybe that's what happened to the capstone of the Great Pyramid...
That might be the pyramidion stones found near Sneferu"s Red Pyramid that does not match it but does match the Bent Pyramid"s starting angle and also Khufu"s pyramid.
@@danielkrause5560 Thanks, I'll look it up. The interesting thing is that the same rationale might be behind the strange sarcophagi found in Djoser's pyramid and his "South Tomb" in that they may be placeholders for something held to be so holy that it was moved elsewhere to sanctify a new site...
@@danielkrause5560 On reflection, that pyramidion might have been intended for the Bent Pyramid and become surplus to requirements if and when it became obvious that it could not be completed as per plan. I will continue to look for the article, perhaps it's another pyramidion found elsewhere. The question though is why move it to the site of the Red Pyramid....
Anyone that wanted to remove it when it was in new condition, would have to build some type of scaffolding, in order to have a foot hold area from which they could apply force. Do we know for sure that the top course we see today was the base for the cap, or is there an entire course that was chiseled to pieces to undercut the cap and make it tumble down the side to look damaged, as they do.

The black pyramid is not a megalithic structure. Like the mud pyramid, this was likely an imitation by later, less advanced cultures.
Well done! However, it wouldn’t have been the the Romans or the Greeks who took the capstone down. They respected the history too much. It was the radical Islamics who spent years trying to bring down the great pyramids, but had to give up. As it is they left large gashes and removed most of the casing stones. If the Greeks and Romans never lost control of Egypt in the 6th/7th century, they would still be intact as well as the great lighthouse of Alexandria!
After so many millennia there really is little left to see; go anyway to get at least a vague idea of the glory that was Egypt.

Definitely. Soon as someone could they would. I've read that there was a massive earthquake in 1303 that loosened the casing stones. Supposedly before that no one could find a way to break them free.
@@electrikjimmy608 if that earthquake occurred they probably would've seen it as a message from the gods and their devine right to remove them.
Good vid. Was wondering about this exact thing the other day, and what spurred that thought was learning the pyramid has 144,000 outer stones. That number’s famous from the Book of Revelation, which makes sense since Egypt and the area where Revelation was written are both in the same region of the world. But what’s wild is that the Mayans, far away across the Atlantic, used the same number in their calendar to mark the amount of days in a Baktun. Plus, there are 144,000 seconds in a day. So I’m guessing it’s all connected to time or calendars somehow.
I'm not sure that they would have been able to count the seconds in a day back then though lol. The days most likely were not broken down into individual hours but instead the simple sunrise, midday, the part of the day where the day turns into evening, and then of course the sunset or dusk. But we just do not know, so I guess people can happily create fantasies of those ancient times which themselves could be wrong or could be right. Whatever the ancient worlds (I say worlds because the world changed so many times in the ancient past and varied a lot during certain times) were really like, I guarantee that they were nothing like we think they were lol
@@bigbasil1908 The math embedded into the Great pyramid shows they were no slouches. Base 60 in time seems an odd thing, 144000/60 = 2400 not significant but is a round number and could have been done as knowledge of the segments of time. We may never know.
I have a theory this was done unconsciously.
Reason being is that I'm currently perceiving a parallel in this day and age with everything from art to film to music to literature as well as structural architectural design. I believe this culture was so in tuned with the universe (God) that this natural set of mathematical constants we now find is no different than all nature and the universe.
Just a theory tho.
But I'll also add the 144k stones has truth. I believe in Isaiah it says something about casting out living stones. I see this action of humans taking the stones to build new buildings as a symbolic parallel to us pulling away and losing our collective connection to the natural universe.
Rev. Also speaks of the 14400 "being sealed" . Pretty ironic if you ask me.
There are no coincidences in this reality. Only statistical probability and ignorance.
There are hieroglyphs in the Great Pyramid. The book "Journeys to the Mythical Past" has a photo of it, above the main/true entrance to the pyramid. It is 3 different glyphs, one looks like waves, another looks like a circle with an X inside, and the other I don't remember rightly. But it does have glyphs. Also, if we consider that Egypt had been conquered by invading armies, then it is very possible it was taken as a prize and then left out as a display of power to those who visited.
Archaeologists arent stone masons, structural engineers, engineers, scientists, astronomers, geologists and have little to no construction experience. They are story tellers. They should never have been given the power to write history and its so wrong. All of them professions should go in first. Then give the evidence to archaeologistd to work with. Men pulling 75ton granite beams, if you work in construction, is beyond absurb. Completely insane. Building site tower cranes lift 20tons. Cranes.
You have a tenuous grasp on how that stuff actually works.
How many friends do you call to move a fridge?
We are forgetting how massive the great pyramid is. People on ground level, looking up can barely see the summit of the pyramid. It would have been absolutely blinding to look at by the white limestone. I doubt any fancy capstone actually existed for the great pyramid. Even at a great distance, the pyramids would shine so bright from reflected sunlight, that no capstone would be really seen.
Maybe Egyptians did not build any of it, and that is the biggest mistake archeologists make.
The pyramids and the Sphinx apparently predate the ancient Egpytians. The water erosion on the base of the Sphinx indicates a heavy reinfall in the area, which has been dry over the last 5000 years.
Having visited Egypt I agree, they still can't even knock up a two story house without it collapsing ..

Loved your last video, bravo, like the poise of your work, simple and easily understandable. Thanks for not necessarily pushing the scholar narrative of the great pyramid being a pharaoh final destination. To me the great pyramid is a functional structure, no doubt, and way more older than even believe.
One Capstone is in Mecca the tower they walk around. One of our Uncles was a high priest whatever you call it and said it's a black pyramid shape rock.
There’s two potential capstones in the museum in cairo/Giza. They’re about 6’/1830mm2 at their base. Other worldly material apparently. They look like two massive pyramids of slate with hieroglyphics etched along the lower sides
That was a really cool use of the phrase contemporary theories... That's much more respectful of what the topic is thank you
After reading the comments section, I see a lot of questions that can be found in Sumerian texts. I looked at the ( "A Great Hoax in the Great Pyramid of Egypt?) and it too was not researched well. All of the ideas that are listed are a good try for people who weren't there and were my thoughts before I found the source that tells the whole story. If we look at the religions of the Persians, Akkadians, Sumerians and Babylonians we see they all considered Zoroastrianism as true, true, true. One book stands out from the rest because it tells the history of earth for 445,000 years and answers all the questions I see here. The cap stone called the Ben Ben stone was moved to Mount Sinai, the location Moses got the 10 commandments because the Great Pyramid was destroyed in the Pyramid wars. The whole story of why, who and when the Pyramids were built can be found in The Lost Book of Enki tablet # 10, 11 and 12. The names of the people involved in this project are converted into Egyptian in tablet # 14. You can read the texts or have someone tell the story from the texts. Happy researching.
The great pyramid with its polished casing stones would have acted as a positive streamer. That's to say it would have behaved like a very large tip of a lightening rod plumbed directly in to the ground. It would have helped protect the pyramid from lightening strikes by neutralising the clouds directly above it. This would happen with or without a capstone, only the efficiency would be affected.
@@Greatpileofnonsense sci fact. research how lightening rods work. they all do this as their primary function but they're so useless at it that not many people are aware its a thing.
The reason they're so useless at it is because of the relative size of a lightening rod tip compared to a storm cloud. When the lightening rod tip is the great pyramid with its 13 acre footprint then it works a lot better, when you've got three huge positive streamers next to each other like at Giza then it'll work even better still.

No, no, no, with that kinda knowledge comes unspeakable power. That's why the keepers of that knowledge will never allow you to know anything about it. They will protect this knowledge until the next great deluge.
Very interesting! When I was a child I remember hearing or reading that they thought that the capstone was gold. That was over 60 years ago and we did get the magazines “National Geo”, Science and many others. My family traveled a lot and my extended family wer missionaries all over the world who often came and visited with slide shows and old movies. Fascinating question that I’ve always wondered about. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. From California.
When I was 5 or 6 (1960) my grandad said it had a copper top. We were talking about something else and he said a copper top like the pyramids.
The problem is the size and height of the great pyramid. Any single capstone would have to be absolutely enormous in order to be visible staring up at the pyramid from the desert floor. Whatever material it was made of, it would not be visible from afar.
From all the different takes I've seen the best so far is by TheLandofChem who says they were built to create and harness lightening and as such would not have had a cap stone.
The pyramids were likely meant as a means of trade navigation. They match Orion's belt to a T and can then be used to know where to navigate long distances because suddenly in the night sky you have Orion's belt as and as long as you follow the direction to Orion's belt, you should be able to make it to Egypt. They didn't account for continental drift or other methods. But the point of it was trade and being able to navigate back to Egypt.
The capstone is buried along with Apocalypse in the deep ground. The stone was being used to complete transfer ritual for mutant god En Sabah Nur aka Apocalypse.
You will need to dig deeper here Luke. There is zero chance that this was built by the Egyptians.
In fact Thoth the Atlantean takes credit for building it in the Emerald Tablets. Check it out man!

Great content ❤ J.
The pyramids are not tombs
Correct! Spread the word.
Most pyramid were coated by limestone deposits ,like those in Egypt , with a wide and massive structures as well as Thier heights which is enough to absorb atmospheric water to sustain within the torrid regions just like rocky mountains that are source of spring water as it absorb atmospheric water
It could’ve been washed off? If you look at Khafres pyramid, the casing stones are still in place. I know it is a wild speculation…🤷🏻♂️😂…It dates the pyramids of Giza to a much older date than is currently believed.
I’m liking a gold capstone with a crystal quartz tip
What if there was no capstone in the first place?
Pyramids were made of dielectric materials that would have stored positive charges at the surface from the telluric currents of the earth. The larger, flat surface area at the top would have aided in attracting lightning strikes. The great pyramid of Giza was used to produce ammonia on an industrial scale. The inner chambers of the pyramid would function in the same way as modern ammonia production methods.
Part of a theory by Land of Chem (check out his channel) on the pyramids. Each different pyramid had a specific purpose and they were all interconnected
They must have been blinding when new and the sun reflected directly off of them. I wonder if areas around the pyramid were extremely hot due to the reflection. The hotspot would have moved throughout the day. With their convex sides, the light might even have been focused to the center.
Great episode. I had never heard that much about the capstones before.
I think they were built before Egypt was a kingdom most likely tens of thousands of years ago.
Here they are: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramidion
Fascinating stuff!
The Egyptians didn't build the pyramids, they didn't because they couldn't. We know what they had for tools.
Great video!! I can't wait to hear about your next Indiana Jones adventure into the jungles of Mexico. Still lots to discover in those jungles. They couldn't have raided everything before they abandoned their ancient cities.
How did they get them down? It’s doesn’t make since to put a cap stone that high, because nobody could read, they were just white all the way up, no cap stone
The cap stone is in a British museum
Isn't the simplest answer that the GP ben ben cap stone was destroyed when the casing was stripped? This seems especially likely if it was covered in gold.
Outsiders just won't understand 😂
Lots of false assumptions. There are lots of pyramids, they know who most of them were for. The 4th Dynasty ones are plain and don't name the Pharos(graffiti does however), but that's not the same for everyone else. Also, what astrological things are they aligned with? We need a bearing, an astrological item that it supposedly aligns with, for each pyramid, for each feature claimed to be related to astronomy.
People make shit up all the time about the pyramids. I say they were aligned with the Pirates of the Caribbean.
Imagine the trillion air guy sitting around sipping a million dollar bottle of 200 year old wine admiring his cap stones for the great pyramids just smiling 😊
How did they put that up there. Crazy to think about.
Ok. Thank you for bringing this up it appears to me as no easy task. And I mean the task of bringing this up alone. Let me recap. First I discovered that long long ago there were war towns constructed. And the thing about these war towns one the entrances are marked with two figures a sphere and a cube you will find these shapes at the entrenched entrances of these towns which I'd say r so old that no longer exist. Oh and they were extremely bias. Instead of telling you how or they did they just say Olmec and don't explain. Other town. But the war town is so much more bias well they're all bias cause they do not do any war or things they do in their town when you enter so. If you are there 0:00 all, and I believe they are also controlled by something, all their activities of how and what simple cube sphere how and what all their cubes and spheres are halted and ceased and only start up when you are no longer present. Your not going to tell me just say Olmec okay. So all this motion is going on so I wonder what is that movement. But it all stops when u get there silent no movement as if it didn't exist so. My conclusion is this or that wat town is not to be shared with you.i had full intention of rendering and giving my take on the cap stone. Take your pick that one. I am not like the war towns. But I've said much and I have the scroll ready and all together. I'll send you it later. Also for me to. Scroll fragments are concepts you'd like to turn into a scroll of you can. But I say not all fragments of scrolls can become a scroll. So they are fragments. Idk maybe my take on the cap stone is just a fragment. Moon fragment siun scroll. I'll tell you later and you decipher it as a scroll or a fragment. Thanks for sharing. I really mean that.😊 P.s. I will sub later. I'd like to get in board with accordance with what you're doing when I sub. So please just let me board if I am boarding.
Given the once polished finish, I have to assume the 8 sides would have been extremely obviously, originally.

I wonder if the light limestone might have been chosen for cooling effect.
And for lighting on full moons. Well reflection anyways. Or how some Egyptian walls a made from alabaster so when a LED light is placed on top it illuminates looks pretty awesome to me.
How did they bulid is what I wanna know

I had no idea any capstones still existed. Very cool. I’ll see them someday!
Ancient Egypt was a high African civilisation and all these rulers went there to witness greatness, until one day some got jealous and decided to conquer Egypt for themselves. How do you conquer a nation of people, you take out the people at the top first then you can rule the land.
The Vatican has Egypt's treasures.
Oh-yeah... they do have a mötley collection of stuffs.
You should have a chat with Geoffrey Drumm from The Land of Chem. He hypothesizes that the pyramids were created and used for chemical manufacturing. Very compelling i must say. He addresses and speculates why the pyramids dont have a capstone
The first thing I thought of was …. They probably saw one of those pyramids that has been seen hovering above the capital, Moscow and a bunch of other places (there are pretty solid videos, if you believe them) and anyways, they wanted to replicate that image with a white pyramid caped with a black pyramid hence having the effect of making the cap stone look as if it’s flying or hovering
The Persians removed all the casing stones to build Cairo. If there was a cap stop they would have taken it too. All the other pyramids are copies of the great pyramid because the copycats didn’t know about the ascending passage to the kings chamber until way later. So none of the other pyramids have these features.
Moses stole it, put it in a box, and that's where it is now... probably
It was made before the writing was invented
I believe the pyramids are well made mine tailings. I learned about this idea from a You Tuber called Curious Being. She did a couple videos about this. To me it makes the most sense, that they are well crafted, well contained mine tailings.
I would be wrong if I said a year, I remember the show was on The History Channel or the discovery channel. One of the local shop keepers the production staff visited was the keeper of THE MICA that was on top of one of the pyramids. Read The Giza Power Plant by Christopher Dunn.!!!!!
If the white finish of piramids reflect sun, could they reflect the light from the moon and be like a chandelier during the night?

There never was a capstone because the 'Great Work' of freemasonry wasn't completed.
It’d be awesome if you could cover something about South America again and maybe mention the fires happening almost daily
The capstone was crystal and would shine different symbols on the sides of the pyramid at different times of the day/year
Depends if they took down some of the stones around the edges making them no longer smooth, but stepped. Then I assumed they could have built a wooden structure that would be stable to go up and begin taking parts of the gold cap down piece by piece until nothing remained.
You assume it was a capstone. It could have been statues like the ones at lake Moeris.
Why the Egyptian Governement don't reconstruct the damage stones of the Pyramid, and try to make it same as you visualize on the 3D, i'm sure there would be more people visiting
Sounds like one purpose of the pyramids was to a be a light house

I've written off finding the cap stone.At least in the form that it was.Especially when others were found in pieces.For all we know,some long forgotten cult buried it somewhere.If it was found in my lifetime,I'd be amazed.

I’d like to know how the pyramidions levered off the top without anything to lever off from. Or am I missing how they would otherwise come off, with any great difficulty
The capstone would most likely have been scavenged along with the white covering. This was done by the descendants of Ham, Noah's youngest son who took over that area. Originally it was known as the Land of Ham (or cham with the ch pronounced as a soft k, like Loch in Scottish). After Ham died, his son Egypt took over and renamed everything after himself, and it's been known by his name ever since.
The reason why all megalithic stone structures worldwide are such a mystery, is they were pre-flood structures, built by the advanced people of the pre-flood world. There's no writing or graphics on them because the people of the pre-flood world had photographic memory. They didn't need writing because once they saw or heard something, they never forgot it and remembered it in perfect detail. This was how Noah was able to build the ark. God showed him in detail exactly what it should be, and Noah remembered every single bit of it. The pre-flood people were from the original blueprint pair of Adam and Eve, and didn't have any genetic defects. They were healthier, bigger, stronger and lived much longer than we do today. And even today there are still some individuals who have photographic memory, and it comes from the ancients.
I suspect most of these gigantic structures, especially in Egypt were used for war. The entire pre-flood world was in terrible shape by the time God decided to erase it. As he said to Moses, "every inclination of their heart was toward violence." This is with a people who lived for centuries, had photographic memory, and undoubtedly had their versions of geniuses too. Take the hatred, division and hostility we have in our present world, and amplify it by ten. Now consider how long these people lived, and imagine those hatreds building up over centuries and how that would shape their obsessions with "stopping the enemy".
Like our world, there were advanced groups, ordinary 'common' groups, and not so advanced groups. The advanced groups apparently engaged in alchemy which is the practice of gaining advanced knowledge through contacting the spiritual realm. In their case, the angels were giving them advanced knowledge. They were also into sorcery, which is the english translation of the Greek word Pharmakeia, which is the root of the word pharmaceutical. They were the chemists. Imagine what they could have learned after living and experimenting for centuries, combined with advanced knowledge being given to them (similar to what Nikola Tesla claimed). Those are the kinds of people who not only knew how to build something like the pyramid of Giza, but had the experience and means to do so, and.... a reason to. These were created to support a war effort. Whether it was global or regional, the size and stark nature of these structures gives an indication of how serious these wars must have been. They may have been about to do something that would have wiped out the world, and rather than let that happen and lose everything, God decided to step in and give them what they were working towards, but on his terms.
If you read the Book of Revelation in the Bible, written almost 2,000 years ago, it looks like we may be about to reach that point once again. Between pharmaceuticals and nuclear weapons, we certainly have the means to bring it about. Is it a coincidence that we were given a 2,000 year heads-up advance warning? Not likely, but it just goes to show that even God can't fix stupid.
@@Greatpileofnonsense All air breathing life was destroyed except Noah and everyone in the ark, but it's foolish to think absolutely nothing survived in any way. The stone ruins found all over the world are testimony that something global happened, and that something was the great flood.
The way the great pyramid was constructed, it would have survived. The way the stones are cut and fit together, as well as the fact that the base stones are also cemented together with some kind of thin compound, means this structure would have been capable of surviving, and it did.
@@Greatpileofnonsense Air breathing animals yes, but some things survived; the massive stoneworks of which we mostly have ruins. The great pyramid of Giza was an exceptional structure.
I think they are not missing, but we're never there. rather, the tops of the pyramids were probably landing pads for pyrimad-like shaped ships of the annunaki.
Someone said that capatone would not be visible to human eye at the base of great pyramid, so propaply anykind of capstone were not used
You are not looking my friend. nothing is hidden. you are just looking at it from the wrong perspective
I cannot trace the exact source right now despite trying, but I recall reading that an isolated capstone that matched none of the characteristics of the local pyramids in terms of slope, etc. was found in another pyramid field, and surprisingly it was a match to the Great Pyramid. In terms of recent history there was a trend to take a relic from one place to sanctify a newer site, so just maybe that's what happened to the capstone of the Great Pyramid...
That might be the pyramidion stones found near Sneferu"s Red Pyramid that does not match it but does match the Bent Pyramid"s starting angle and also Khufu"s pyramid.
@@danielkrause5560 Thanks, I'll look it up. The interesting thing is that the same rationale might be behind the strange sarcophagi found in Djoser's pyramid and his "South Tomb" in that they may be placeholders for something held to be so holy that it was moved elsewhere to sanctify a new site...
@@danielkrause5560 On reflection, that pyramidion might have been intended for the Bent Pyramid and become surplus to requirements if and when it became obvious that it could not be completed as per plan. I will continue to look for the article, perhaps it's another pyramidion found elsewhere. The question though is why move it to the site of the Red Pyramid....
You see the pyramid never did have a capstone and I know why, and so does Master Fulcanelli..?
AI told me that limestone can block radiation, and it can be used in concrete to provide some radiation shielding: These pyramids were nuclear 🤷🏾♂️
I believe it was repurposed as a little party hat for the Sphinx for a time ......
There is a YT video showing hieroglyphs on top of the pyramid where the capstone was
There was a video of capstones decorating a chariot track. Saying these came from the pyramids.
I believe someone, somewhere….. who is staying very very quiet, has one or more of those capstones. Maybe the Vatican. Who knows…..
The capstones were stolen by Hittites and brought in Turkey/Anatolia
Anyone that wanted to remove it when it was in new condition, would have to build some type of scaffolding, in order to have a foot hold area from which they could apply force. Do we know for sure that the top course we see today was the base for the cap, or is there an entire course that was chiseled to pieces to undercut the cap and make it tumble down the side to look damaged, as they do.
