Fun fact, some specialists believe that isn't the original "head" on the sphinx, but that a later ruler came in and carved it down to his own liking. That's why it's so small in comparison to the body.
Im finally reaching the age, where im starting to appreciate how incredible these are. Also its incredible that regular people are able to take a tour inside them. I cant imagine that to be allowed in the distant future.
I don't think access is going away anytime soon. They are decently protected and you have to pay to go inside. The tunnel to the "kings chamber" is solid. Even with all the humans that crawl through it each day I don't see it eroding anytime soon.
I live in NC and literally a few feet from my yard is land that is off limits because it is where a civil war battle took place and a cemetery is there aswell I just think that's really cool that I live where people hundreds of years ago were
Great video. I just got back from Egypt on 10/14/2023. I went to Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Karnak, Aswan, Edfu, Kom Ombu and Abu Simbel. Egypt is an awesome country, rich in history, wonderful welcoming people and good food. Put this country on the top of your bucket list and GO!!!. This grandma is already planning to go back. 😊

As a 24 years old Egyptian I had the chance to see these legendary structures in person for the first time in my life a month ago and I must say the actual sight of the Pyramids gives a shivering and goosebumps to the whole body. I may as well go far as to claim it as a horrifying sight, to gaze upon this massive beast of a structure and wonder for moments how they did it 4500 years ago. Although this video is the best documentary I've ever seen about the Pyramids but I assure all of you reading my comment that the actual experience is far better and breathtaking. I only regret that I hadn't visited the Pyramids sooner, taking in consideration that I spent my life living about 30 km next to the sight 😅
@@CelinaAllik I simply didn't care and never thought about it. At first I had thought that these are useless boring piles of rocks, nothing more nothing less, that is until I saw them!
It wasn’t man made. Also the Sphinx and pyramids were actually made in 10,500 BC….not 2500 BC. The aliens who created these structures made them to point directly overhead the 3 stars of Orion’s belt (one apex per star) as that’s how they lined up back in 10,500 BC under the night sky.
@@mohammadshahade8753 there's going to be a total solar eclipse in luxor on august 2. 2027 that will last for over 6 minutes! somehow, one way or another, i need to be there to witness that.
Watched from beginning to end and enjoyed every minute of it. Very detailed in explanation. The graphics, visual effects and diagrams of the interior and exterior of the pyramids were nicely done. I can almost visualize how breathtaking it must’ve looked-still today one of the great wonders of the world. I hope someday to see it in person.
If you have to “almost visualize” then I don’t think they did as good of a job as you claim they did. Actually pretty wack. These ppl have no idea what’s going on with ancient Giza. Get real people!!
I keep thinking why we are not restoring these buildings back to their former glory? Would be amazing to see the pyramids, the parthenon and many other like the people at that time saw them
I think my favorite thing about the modern pyramid complex is that, despite all the camera angles showing desert in the background, it's right in the middle of the modern city of Giza, in the Cairo greater metropolitan area. Like, there's 20 hotels and a Pizza Hut across the street, it's wild.
That’s funny because I once had a dream where I went to see the pyramids, and then went to a small restaurant close by and had an egg salad sandwich. I have such strange dreams! 😆
Similar to the Alamo in San Antonio Texas. Shown in the movies as all by itself out in the middle of nowhere. In reality its surrounded and dwarfed by a modern city!
Honestly, Assassin's Creed Origins did a great job of recreating ancient egypt. It wasn't quite 4500 years ago, it was set in classical times from 60-45 BCE, but it really did make you feel like you went back in time.
That's interesting. I didn't know that's when that video game was set, but I did see the graphics of them built up in the game. Would that mean they still had their limestone covers during Julius Caesar's time?... 🤔
@@bentonrp most of the history on the pyramids is inaccurate, the pyramids were built well before the 4500 years that we believe and the sphinx is even OLDER. The water erosion on the sphinx points as far back as 11,500 years ago! No one really knows so take my claims with a grain of salt, as you should with any information regarding the pyramids. We’re not able to carbon date the pyramids so any “factual” time stamped on the pyramids is very inaccurate.
@@AvoidAlex That is riveting! ...I had to look up the geological studies that led to the theories that Sphinx was built 11,000 years ago.

But who knows. I am glad you told me about them not being able to radio carbon date the pyramids and sphinx. I always wondered why they didn't ever do that and now I know. ...Do you know why they can't radio carbon date these structures...?
I got a feeling theyre older than that... But I cant imagine seeing them in their time, covered with gleaming white linestone in the sun, with gold top caps, and the river nearby with palm trees...must have been quite impressive! I also love how from above they are at the exact angles of the 3 stars in Orion's Belt. Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.
So many documentaries and videos about these great structures and still I get mesmerized and mind blowing about it’s size and technology used !!! Thank you for uploading greetings from California
@@Saif-gt9id Maybe you should just keep following your 7th century bloodthirsty, false prophet, Arab warlord who had a thing for a prepubescent 9 year old child bride named Aisha. This is your example of the best human ever.
This is the reason why I liked Assassin's Creed Origins so much !! It was an incredible feeling when I discovered pyramid for the first time in the game, it felt like being going back 4000 years ago
it was a great game. my favorite AC game. I enjoyed it for similar reasons. there is an egypt history video here on youtube somewhere that actually uses footage from AC origins. *Edit: here is the video I mentioned* th-cam.com/video/_CeDOpCFwOY/w-d-xo.html
My man!I love also the Assassins Creed series for the same reason.With every game i feel like i live in a different era.BUT....AC origins is the game which i attached like no one before.Sensational atmosphere,pure magic!
The evidence for dating the pyramid is circumstantial at best there’s no evidence that the Egyptian actually built the pyramid looking at the evidence and erosion the pyramid was ancient even during the time of the Egyptians and keeping this lie of 4500 years old is proof how intelligent we say we are we have no way of re creating this pyramid in our technology is too precise the tomb is 1 10000 from perfect flat edge tools like lazers and diamond saws had to be used in the construction of the pyramid and the evidence there just look at the precision
This is easily the best use of Bolero as supporting music to a non-music topic I've ever seen. Bolero parallels the pyramids in many ways: the sheer length/size, its additive nature gradually increasing in dynamics and in instrumentation, the way in which the piece and the pyramids take a long time to build, the relentless repetition of the musical figures and phrases evoking the millions of stone blocks. And then there's the character of the piece - ceremonial, stately and full of pomp, the melodies and harmonies familiar sounding but somehow also foreign and exotic. What an outstanding idea.
Glad that someone mentioned this. Bolero was the perfect choice, it made me feel like a 19th century explorer wandering around the ruins of ancient Egypt
I agree with the sentiments written here about the choice of Bolero. I would like to share a similar vision about how it might be heard. Many years ago, I expressed to others that Bolero seemed to me to be the music that might accompany a Roman legion as it marched toward Rome after a victorious battle, with children and citizens lining the dusty roads in awe of the procession as it approached, passed, and faded into the distance ahead. As the music reaches its peak, the Centurions pass through a huge stone gate and perhaps an arch and onward toward Rome and their rewards. Of course, it’s not the same as the pyramids, but still very grand.
Wow, I remember seeing documentaries about the pyramids as a kid but I don't think I ever saw a view of the grand gallery. And the renderings you did were really interesting. Subbed.
I was on a job in Cairo many years ago. The company director took me to those piramides for a visit. I just stood there and watched, baffled, couldn't say anything for 15 minutes, just stared, incredible!
Wow! It felt like I was lost in time for 16 minutes and 4 seconds. I've always fascinated ancient Egypt and their culture and the mysterious pyramids. Great video Manuel, I hope to go to Egypt one day ❤️😌
My 4th grade )ages 9-10) introduced me to ancient Egypt. It immediately grabbed my attention and has never let go over many years. My dream is to visit Egypt to see the pyramids, the new Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor/Karnak/Thebes, the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel. Obviously you aren’t claustrophobic Manuel. When I saw you climbing in the tiny gallery I had to look away for a moment! Thanks for going where I never could for that reason. I love your videos!
Hi Manuel - I was always hoping to see the Pyramids in person, but that day has come and gone. So it was great riding along with you as my guide and enjoying Their beauty and story. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
Absolutely amazing video, probably your best so far. I'm a huge fan of your channel and I'm so glad you decided to tackle the Pyramids. They have always fascinated me and I learned a lot about their insides I didn't yet know. I'd love to see more about other temples and monuments in Egypt, like Abu Simbel or the Mortuary of Hatshepsut. Thanks for the quality content!
Love Egyptian History I’m from Mexico and it amazes me how these pyramids where made two different parts of the world one with the tallest pyramid 🇪🇬 and another with largest structure 🇲🇽
I have been a fan of Egypt for the longest time. Eversince my father showed me a picture of their trip to the Valley of the Kings. Thank you for this awesome video, Sir! It's very educational.
This is the best video I've ever seen about the pyramids. The clear explanation, excellent graphics and commentary have made it so much easier to view the structures in context and fully understand their purpose etc. Thanks!
If you push the stone block off the edge of the pyramid, especially the top ones, you can extract some potential energy from the fall. Just tight the rope to it, and the other end can do some work, like pull a donkey cart without a donkey.
@@knockshinnoch1950 any basic engineer could tell you the inside is set up like a basic boiler system. The question is was it nuclear, and did it produce piezo electricity? I think ots quite possible. There are many videos on this.
Isn't amazing that finally we get to know that we are all connected to that civilization without even knowing it before?! Isn't amazing that we finally find our Roots together after all the years of confusion, we finally gather from all over the world to where we belong ?! Can you feel that ancient rythme that sends us its Vibes to get us together again after thousands of years of confusion .. It's a miracle my friend it is a miracle.. 💜✌🏻🕊️☝🏻🌷😍
Thanks to Assassin's creed origins game, I became interested in these pyramids, your video was very clear and informative, thanks a ton ! That is also the proof that video game can rise curiosity regarding culture and knowledge
I would love to know how they carved these blocks and stacked them perfectly without cranes. There are chambers and tunnels inside so these blocks had to be perfectly fit. Just amazing the did this 4500 years ago. Great video.
@@BigJonStudda It’s not nonsense, and there’s been theories with evidence behind them. Still, most researchers are against the assumption for various reasons and other evidence.
Thank you so much Manuel ,I am sixty five I live in the US .I have been fascinated my whole life about Egypt,Spent my life in Construction,A builder Myself and wanted To go and see and then family and life took over then it became a dream ,to old now . I think your video just about made my dream come true.Thank you kind sir, Awesome Video.
Setting Ravel's Bolero to support the narration while exploring the pyramids of Giza really helps set an otherworldly mood. Perfect for the setting. I like the switches between the modern day ruins and their digital reconstructions. Class.
My introduction to pyramid is when I was a small kid and I read apocalypse Marvel Comics & later Mummy movies... So everytime I see pyramid, the first thing I remember is apocalypse mutant
I find it very hard to believe that these massive structures were completed in one human beings lifetime, let alone on the command of one Pharaoh for his own death tomb.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on the history of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. This young man can be very proud of the videos he's creating because very few go into the depth of detail in the story and also the graphics and also the fact that he actually went on location to give us real first person videos of the Pyramids. This TH-cam channel will grow very quickly.
Just stumbled across this video. Well done! Loved the graphics showing what it originally looked like. I need more of this in my life. Thanks for your hard work!
Nice video. However, I am tired of idealizing ancient Egypt and other civilizations of antiquity. The pyramids were a waste of human life based on a huge lie that still ruins human happiness to this day. There is no god, no afterlife, and tens of thousands of people were worked to death - research proves that pyramid workers had major back issues and arthritis - to promote a delusion. Find an ancient society of atheists and that will be a true inspiration.
Thanks Manuel! You always manage to bring your special talent of story telling, graphics and educational expertise to your videos. These structures were and still are marvels of human ingenuity and determination. The facts are staggering. I, also, enjoyed your choice of Ravel’s “Boléro” for the background music. It worked quite well and added to the overall experience of this great video! Thanks, again.
Completely agree, my compliments to the chef for this gourmet video - content, editing, music, storytelling, etc. Finger licking good. Pero ya no te pares en los camellos, pensé que te ibas a dar el la cabeza.
There is so much History that people know so little about. Egypt is so fascinating with such history. I was in Greece and there was so much history. I was in Portugal and there was so much history as well. Learning every day. Thank-you 🇨🇦🎇
its a shame the guy narrating doesnt know what he is talking about tho, lol. he and the mainstream egyptologists claim the pharaohs were buried there, but all mummies been found elsewhere than the pyramids, like in Valley of the Kings. The pyramid was more likely a power plant of some sort
Wow! I didn't know they were covered in white limestone. I bet they looked very beautiful to look at. Wish I could go back in a time machine and see them! 😃
13:28 i've read that the pyramids were covered in limestone to give him a perfectly flat appearance. But I read that they were stolen by thieves over time after the Egyptian civilization weighed? If so, then there must be tons and heaps of these limestone uncovering stored some place in caves, and old fortresses, but I don't recall reading anything about finding limestone Coverings to the Pyramid's being found or uncovered. So the question is, where did the limestone coatings go?
I'm fascinated by the showing of what Egypt looked like when it was new, awesome spectacle even today. I would imagine it will still be here long after humans are gone, maybe ancestors or part humans will inhabit earth in the future, personally I don't think we're going to be here very long, in geological time anyway.
From what I have seen they must have been almost blindingly bright. I used to work in a 5-floor office building that was finished with some sort of bright, but not white, stone and it was too bright for me to even walk next to it during lunchtime on the sunny summer day. I had to cover my eyes or wear sunglasses. From distance, they must have been impressive, though.
Thanks for posting. What a great job you did. I've seen many documentaries that I'm sure cost a fortune to make. But with this video I got the feeling that I was really there and you were my tour guild. Thanks again.
Very nice - thank you. As an older disabled person there is no way for me to see these wonders in real life. Your tour & information showed me them perfectly. :)
This vid brought back a lot of memories. 15yrs ago I went on a Nile river cruise that started at Aswan and went up to Giza. It also included a mini trip to Memphis. It was an amazing experience to see all the different temples, the valley of the kings and queens, a rock quarry were they build the obelisk, and eventually to Giza to see the pyramids. I definitely recommend visiting Egypt if you get the opportunity. You just need to find a good tour guide/group.
I envy you. My own trip to Egypt has been quite disappointing. The sites are definitely incredible but out tour guide prevented us from fully enjoying it. I do hope I can go there again
@@patrizioorru772 I've been to Egypt 3 times and never had a tour guide. I always felt safe, even with my young children with me. It's so much better to have the freedom to go where you want, when you want. Cheaper too!
Wow! This was an amazing video. TH-cam algorithm working wonders for me. I consider myself an Egyptology aficionado and I have watched so many documentaries on ancient Egypt by Discovery Channel, NatGeo, PBS America etc , but I must confess this has given me a better appreciation of the Pyramid complex than the rest combined. Awesome job
Very few of those sources will give you the actual truth. Most of the official narrative is a lie. Current Egyptian dept of antiquities will not let any more digging commence.
I've been fascinated by ancient Egypt since the 3rd grade. I remember the spark. My 3rd grade teacher had us build a tomb in a shoebox lol. It was so interesting to me looking up everything. Even as a 3rd grader
Great job making this video, I have studied the pyramids for many years and I am glad to see how you condensed a lot of good information with your own onsite experience, gracias!
Great video and architectural recreation. For better climatic and topographical context perhaps, you might want to look back more than 10000 years ago to re-create the potential paleo climate, vegetation and Nile River’s shore and span extent that surrounded these structures that are looking more and more like they significantly pre-date Dynastic Egyptian history.
I had the extraordinary fortune to see first hand the many beautiful ancient sites including these pyramids. That was 1994 and it will always be fascinating to me.
Dude, I really admire your passion and knowledge for the history of ancient Egypt, such as the pyramids. I subscribed ,and will probably watch and like very single video.
Glad I found your channel. Unique combination of reality with a rendition of what the Giza Pyramids might have looked like. Very informative. Bolero was a good choice. Of course I subscribed.
Hi Manuel, I discovered you today, and I have to say your videos are really fantastic. I am Irish, with an interest into the celtic roots that connect Ireland, Scotland and Norway. We have alot of many interesting structures, I would be lovely to watch and listen to your take and explaination of them.
This was a wonderful, educating, video expedition for me. I've always been fascinated by the pyramids of Egypt and your well produced, well researched video was an absolute delight for me. Thank you so much.
My friend...thank you VERY MUCH for this wonderful journey, (in 4K)! I just HAD to stop this video every 20 seconds, just to watch the whole scene...for few minutes!!! :) It was/is just.... phantastic!!! WHAT A GREAT JOB!!!
there actually should have been. The Nile's basin is huge and the river flowed closer to the pyramids around the time they were built. While the monuments were still constructed on the desert sand they wouldn't have been too far from palms and other shrubbery found along the river.
I also heard that the white outside limestone could have been quartzite and which also make sense why it had a white look. Either way, I'm learning new things and asking questions for my understanding and growth on the subject. Thanks for your time!
Manuel you are truly a Great Man! Thanks for giving us a tour and time lapse images of the Pyramids. I would love to see your presentation of Palmyra in Lebanon. Also I think showing Jerusalem during the time of Rome would be interesting. I have never seen an image of the Temple of Jupiter on the Temple Platform. THANKS AGAIN
I definitely have to visit the Great Pyramids someday. It's mostly in rubbles, but I always found it fascinating to imagine how things looked like in the past.
Yeah. I see the chap in this vid is good at memorizing the official narrative. A narrative that doesn't stand scrutiny, but that's what we have. Egyptology is a profession less so based on science, but more about prestige of the people in them that are way too proud to accept even the slightest error in their judgement (or rather daydream) of the ancient ruins.
@@stijnvdv2 Yes, thats why they do not allow any more excavation as even without more and more evidence keeps emerging that shatters the official narrative
I visited the pyramids several years ago and this video does the best job of recreating the experience. You really get a feel for what it's like to be there. And you really don't understand the size until you are there. You intellectually understand they're going to be big, but when you stand at the base and look up, it is simply awe-inspiring. Even though they are on a different scale, I had the exact same feeling of awe when I stood at the base of the World Trade Center and looked straight up. When I visited the pyramids, we were allowed to go inside the middle pyramid. Only a few people did it as you must walk a long way up then descend through a long, tiny, smooth (no steps) corridor. It was about 5'x4', and it had a pretty steep angle to the descent. You arrive at a normal-sized room containing a burial vault. But you know you are completely surrounded and enclosed by this massive pyramid. If you have any amount of claustrophobia, I do not recommend it.
Thanks for a lot of info not usually compiled together. I learned some things 👵 Belzoni! Naughty boy for tagging ancient treasures! But he was a typical 'antiquarian' of his day ... even a cut above in comparison! Didn't know Belzoni even got into that pyramid.
Wow though ... meaning I haven't heard it called Cheops hardly at all, not in decades ... But that is what we were taught in the 60s public schools I went to.
Great work, but I believe there would have been manicured grass and trees and flowers. Also some of the surrounding temples and buildings would have included brightly coloured buildings. That would look even more amazing.
Your Channel can compete with National Geographic documentaries! You are so didactic, yet so funny in explaining, so addictive and you explain everything in a very fascinating way! ❤
I can't recall the last time I saw such a well-paced, relaxing and beautiful video... I wasn't even gonna watch it but it was so enjoyable that I couldn't stop, specially when Ravel's Bolero started playing in the background. Well done, man. And, btw, having your name stamped on the bottom right corner of the screen is nasty brilliant😝 to make us know and remember your name. Will steal it, if I may.😬 I'm impressed with the quality of the channel. 😁👏👏😎
Me and my family visited Egypt many years ago. it was great to see the pyramids. My parents nowadays are pretty bitter about our guide who insisted that the pyramids were too boring inside so we didn't go there. My parents regret listening the guide's wishes who was more interested of us visiting giftshops and giving her than nice commission from the stuff we possibly bought.🙄

I always wondered why they didn't ever do that and now I know. ...Do you know why they can't radio carbon date these structures...?
I got a feeling theyre older than that...
But I cant imagine seeing them in their time, covered with gleaming white linestone in the sun, with gold top caps, and the river nearby with palm trees...must have been quite impressive!
I also love how from above they are at the exact angles of the 3 stars in Orion's Belt. Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.
So many documentaries and videos about these great structures and still I get mesmerized and mind blowing about it’s size and technology used !!! Thank you for uploading greetings from California
Me too.never get board. I wish theres a time travel machine so i can went back and see the real egypt during these time.

Maybe you should just keep following your 7th century bloodthirsty, false prophet, Arab warlord who had a thing for a prepubescent 9 year old child bride named Aisha. This is your example of the best human ever.
This is the reason why I liked Assassin's Creed Origins so much !! It was an incredible feeling when I discovered pyramid for the first time in the game, it felt like being going back 4000 years ago
Totally agree, i felt the same, and scaling with bayek all the way to the top just to see the landscape felt great!
it was a great game. my favorite AC game. I enjoyed it for similar reasons. there is an egypt history video here on youtube somewhere that actually uses footage from AC origins. *Edit: here is the video I mentioned* th-cam.com/video/_CeDOpCFwOY/w-d-xo.html
@@brunos7995 yeah, and I liked exploring inside the pyramids, there were so many hidden tunnels ! Loved the side quests !
My man!I love also the Assassins Creed series for the same reason.With every game i feel like i live in a different era.BUT....AC origins is the game which i attached like no one before.Sensational atmosphere,pure magic!
The evidence for dating the pyramid is circumstantial at best there’s no evidence that the Egyptian actually built the pyramid looking at the evidence and erosion the pyramid was ancient even during the time of the Egyptians and keeping this lie of 4500 years old is proof how intelligent we say we are we have no way of re creating this pyramid in our technology is too precise the tomb is 1 10000 from perfect flat edge tools like lazers and diamond saws had to be used in the construction of the pyramid and the evidence there just look at the precision
This is easily the best use of Bolero as supporting music to a non-music topic I've ever seen. Bolero parallels the pyramids in many ways: the sheer length/size, its additive nature gradually increasing in dynamics and in instrumentation, the way in which the piece and the pyramids take a long time to build, the relentless repetition of the musical figures and phrases evoking the millions of stone blocks. And then there's the character of the piece - ceremonial, stately and full of pomp, the melodies and harmonies familiar sounding but somehow also foreign and exotic. What an outstanding idea.
Bolero...... ah yes....I played the snare drum intro in 7th grade, in a high school concert band contest....nerves held tho..
Glad that someone mentioned this. Bolero was the perfect choice, it made me feel like a 19th century explorer wandering around the ruins of ancient Egypt
10 will never be topped
you described the music perfectly
I agree with the sentiments written here about the choice of Bolero. I would like to share a similar vision about how it might be heard. Many years ago, I expressed to others that Bolero seemed to me to be the music that might accompany a Roman legion as it marched toward Rome after a victorious battle, with children and citizens lining the dusty roads in awe of the procession as it approached, passed, and faded into the distance ahead. As the music reaches its peak, the Centurions pass through a huge stone gate and perhaps an arch and onward toward Rome and their rewards.
Of course, it’s not the same as the pyramids, but still very grand.
Those pyramids plated with white stone and gold tops would look like something out of this world. Seems like a lot of work for a crypt !
Ha , and of course they started building it before the pharaoh came to power, with copper chisels , LOL Like your thinking.
Yes such BS it’s crazy
"Vanity of vanities..." it is now a tourist attraction. And I don't think pharaoh is enjoying any of it in the afterworld.
Wow, I remember seeing documentaries about the pyramids as a kid but I don't think I ever saw a view of the grand gallery. And the renderings you did were really interesting. Subbed.
th-cam.com/video/JiIKXGOGg64/w-d-xo.html
No one knows why he has put penguins in those renderings. Silly idea of his!
I was on a job in Cairo many years ago. The company director took me to those piramides for a visit. I just stood there and watched, baffled, couldn't say anything for 15 minutes, just stared, incredible!
Wow! It felt like I was lost in time for 16 minutes and 4 seconds. I've always fascinated ancient Egypt and their culture and the mysterious pyramids. Great video Manuel, I hope to go to Egypt one day ❤️😌
My 4th grade )ages 9-10) introduced me to ancient Egypt. It immediately grabbed my attention and has never let go over many years. My dream is to visit Egypt to see the pyramids, the new Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor/Karnak/Thebes, the Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel.
Obviously you aren’t claustrophobic Manuel. When I saw you climbing in the tiny gallery I had to look away for a moment! Thanks for going where I never could for that reason. I love your videos!
Hi Manuel - I was always hoping to see the Pyramids in person, but that day has come and gone. So it was great riding along with you as my guide and enjoying Their beauty and story. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg

Absolutely amazing video, probably your best so far. I'm a huge fan of your channel and I'm so glad you decided to tackle the Pyramids. They have always fascinated me and I learned a lot about their insides I didn't yet know. I'd love to see more about other temples and monuments in Egypt, like Abu Simbel or the Mortuary of Hatshepsut. Thanks for the quality content!
Love Egyptian History I’m from Mexico and it amazes me how these pyramids where made two different parts of the world one with the tallest pyramid 🇪🇬 and another with largest structure 🇲🇽
The biggest pyramid in the world is actually in Mexico my friend ;)...
Love Mexico from Egypt, I would love to see you pyramids one day, Vamos Mexico 🇲🇽
Indonesia has pyramid too
because survivors of the same mother civilization built them on both sides of the atlantic
@@dazwraps8213 I didn't know that until Graham Hancock mentioned it on JRE and on his Netflix series.
I have been a fan of Egypt for the longest time. Eversince my father showed me a picture of their trip to the Valley of the Kings. Thank you for this awesome video, Sir! It's very educational.
This is the best video I've ever seen about the pyramids. The clear explanation, excellent graphics and commentary have made it so much easier to view the structures in context and fully understand their purpose etc. Thanks!
Not even close. They were power plants.
@@DBBMed WOW I never knew that, really? What kind of power?
If you push the stone block off the edge of the pyramid, especially the top ones, you can extract some potential energy from the fall. Just tight the rope to it, and the other end can do some work, like pull a donkey cart without a donkey.
@@knockshinnoch1950 any basic engineer could tell you the inside is set up like a basic boiler system. The question is was it nuclear, and did it produce piezo electricity? I think ots quite possible. There are many videos on this.

This video was excellent. You never disappoint. I learned a lot and you are a fantastic narrator!
Isn't amazing that finally we get to know that we are all connected to that civilization without even knowing it before?!
Isn't amazing that we finally find our Roots together after all the years of confusion, we finally gather from all over the world to where we belong ?!
Can you feel that ancient rythme that sends us its Vibes to get us together again after thousands of years of confusion ..
It's a miracle my friend it is a miracle.. 💜✌🏻🕊️☝🏻🌷😍
Thanks to Assassin's creed origins game, I became interested in these pyramids, your video was very clear and informative, thanks a ton ! That is also the proof that video game can rise curiosity regarding culture and knowledge
And at least a novice understanding on how to fire many different weapons systems. ☝💁
@@jasonsabourin2275 Yes indeed, quite a lot. Besides I just tried the Discovery tour mode, it is a great idea !
Same here, after playing origins i became obsessed with Egypt and Pyramids.

I learned so much about Italy after playing assassins creed 2!!
Impressive that you timed the presentation to Ravel’s Bolero. Bravo 👏
I would love to know how they carved these blocks and stacked them perfectly without cranes. There are chambers and tunnels inside so these blocks had to be perfectly fit. Just amazing the did this 4500 years ago. Great video.
There is a theory, they used poured concrete. There is a Great documentary on this.

Thank you so much Manuel ,I am sixty five I live in the US .I have been fascinated my whole life about Egypt,Spent my life in Construction,A builder Myself and wanted To go and see and then family and life took over then it became a dream ,to old now . I think your video just about made my dream come true.Thank you kind sir, Awesome Video.
Never too old. If you can still walk, you should go for it if you have the financial means to do so. Life is too short to have regrets…
Too old to go to Egypt? Nonsense! Go! Start planning today
it is never too late brother!
Setting Ravel's Bolero to support the narration while exploring the pyramids of Giza really helps set an otherworldly mood. Perfect for the setting. I like the switches between the modern day ruins and their digital reconstructions. Class.
Just about to comment this, heard Ravel's Bolero and instantly went to the comments.
Unfortunate choice of music. I would have turned off the sound but I was interested in the history. Great video except for the music.
My introduction to pyramid is when I was a small kid and I read apocalypse Marvel Comics & later Mummy movies... So everytime I see pyramid, the first thing I remember is apocalypse mutant
I find it very hard to believe that these massive structures were completed in one human beings lifetime, let alone on the command of one Pharaoh for his own death tomb.
Good call, this narrative is starting to sound old .
Good thing you’re not an Egyptologist or an Archeologist then.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on the history of the Great Pyramids of Egypt. This young man can be very proud of the videos he's creating because very few go into the depth of detail in the story and also the graphics and also the fact that he actually went on location to give us real first person videos of the Pyramids. This TH-cam channel will grow very quickly.
Just stumbled across this video. Well done! Loved the graphics showing what it originally looked like. I need more of this in my life. Thanks for your hard work!
Nice video. However, I am tired of idealizing ancient Egypt and other civilizations of antiquity. The pyramids were a waste of human life based on a huge lie that still ruins human happiness to this day. There is no god, no afterlife, and tens of thousands of people were worked to death - research proves that pyramid workers had major back issues and arthritis - to promote a delusion. Find an ancient society of atheists and that will be a true inspiration.
He is telling lies! How can you say this is a good video?
Thanks Manuel! You always manage to bring your special talent of story telling, graphics and educational expertise to your videos. These structures were and still are marvels of human ingenuity and determination. The facts are staggering. I, also, enjoyed your choice of Ravel’s “Boléro” for the background music. It worked quite well and added to the overall experience of this great video! Thanks, again.
Thank you, Michael!
Completely agree, my compliments to the chef for this gourmet video - content, editing, music, storytelling, etc. Finger licking good. Pero ya no te pares en los camellos, pensé que te ibas a dar el la cabeza.

I disagree about the music. It started with middle-eastern music (which fitted) and then the Ravel came in completely inapprpriately, IMHO.
There is so much History that people know so little about. Egypt is so fascinating with such history. I was in Greece and there was so much history. I was in Portugal and there was so much history as well. Learning every day. Thank-you 🇨🇦🎇
its a shame the guy narrating doesnt know what he is talking about tho, lol.
he and the mainstream egyptologists claim the pharaohs were buried there, but all mummies been found elsewhere than the pyramids, like in Valley of the Kings.
The pyramid was more likely a power plant of some sort
Excellent Explanation 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I learned so much and the quality of the video was excellent! Thank you.
Wow! I didn't know they were covered in white limestone. I bet they looked very beautiful to look at. Wish I could go back in a time machine and see them! 😃
Don't go back in time to see the construction because the whole area was radioactive because of the ufo cranes.
pyramids and temples and writings were actually mostly colored but the colors faded by time
13:28 i've read that the pyramids were covered in limestone to give him a perfectly flat appearance. But I read that they were stolen by thieves over time after the Egyptian civilization weighed? If so, then there must be tons and heaps of these limestone uncovering stored some place in caves, and old fortresses, but I don't recall reading anything about finding limestone Coverings to the Pyramid's being found or uncovered. So the question is, where did the limestone coatings go?
@@Defender78 ...the video stated the Muslims built Mosque with the stone and showed photos.

Beautifully done production, Manuel. The best explanation of the Pyramids I have ever seen. Thank you for educating me!
I'm fascinated by the showing of what Egypt looked like when it was new, awesome spectacle even today. I would imagine it will still be here long after humans are gone, maybe ancestors or part humans will inhabit earth in the future, personally I don't think we're going to be here very long, in geological time anyway.
One could only dream of what it looked like the first day the pyramids were finished
From what I have seen they must have been almost blindingly bright. I used to work in a 5-floor office building that was finished with some sort of bright, but not white, stone and it was too bright for me to even walk next to it during lunchtime on the sunny summer day. I had to cover my eyes or wear sunglasses. From distance, they must have been impressive, though.
Ya Mars and beyond
Earth will get rid of human fleas, and try something better.

THANK YOU. Historical truth requires some digging, for almost everything
You're so lucky you get to go visit all these beautiful places, man. Thanks for taking us with you!
To see these ancient structures when they were new. Not as crumbling ruins but as freshly-built masterpieces. If only for a day.
if "new" is what you seek, go vegas, they have one there
This channel is a gem. I'm happy I stumbled upon this. Great information, great animations, great voice over. Thanks alot, man, really!
I am beyond fascinated with ancient Egypt. I've studied it for years. They were so advanced and intelligent. Beautiful.

So interesting hearing different explanations and theories for the pyramids and surrounding structures. I’ll leave it at that…
Thanks for posting. What a great job you did. I've seen many documentaries that I'm sure cost a fortune to make. But with this video I got the feeling that I was really there and you were my tour guild. Thanks again.

Very nice - thank you.
As an older disabled person there is no way for me to see these wonders in real life.
Your tour & information showed me them perfectly. :)
This vid brought back a lot of memories. 15yrs ago I went on a Nile river cruise that started at Aswan and went up to Giza. It also included a mini trip to Memphis. It was an amazing experience to see all the different temples, the valley of the kings and queens, a rock quarry were they build the obelisk, and eventually to Giza to see the pyramids. I definitely recommend visiting Egypt if you get the opportunity. You just need to find a good tour guide/group.
I envy you. My own trip to Egypt has been quite disappointing. The sites are definitely incredible but out tour guide prevented us from fully enjoying it. I do hope I can go there again
@@patrizioorru772 why bother with a tour guide?
@@BonMooney Well, Egypt is not always safe so everyone recommends to join a group
@@patrizioorru772 I've been to Egypt 3 times and never had a tour guide. I always felt safe, even with my young children with me. It's so much better to have the freedom to go where you want, when you want. Cheaper too!
@@BonMooney Thank you for the advice. Things are not always as they would have you believe I see. Next time I might just do that 🙂
His accent was so relaxing and soothing to listen to
Loved that, thank you! I love all ancient sites like Egypt, Roman, Greece, etc. Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work!
Hope this will be as good as Hagia Sophia, which was breathtaking-I learned so much.
Just remember that woolly mammoths still walked the earth when these were built.
😂😂😂
Yeah, and there’s an ice wall!!!
Wow! This was an amazing video. TH-cam algorithm working wonders for me. I consider myself an Egyptology aficionado and I have watched so many documentaries on ancient Egypt by Discovery Channel, NatGeo, PBS America etc , but I must confess this has given me a better appreciation of the Pyramid complex than the rest combined. Awesome job
Very few of those sources will give you the actual truth. Most of the official narrative is a lie. Current Egyptian dept of antiquities will not let any more digging commence.
I've been fascinated by ancient Egypt since the 3rd grade. I remember the spark. My 3rd grade teacher had us build a tomb in a shoebox lol. It was so interesting to me looking up everything. Even as a 3rd grader
Great job making this video, I have studied the pyramids for many years and I am glad to see how you condensed a lot of good information with your own onsite experience, gracias!
I’ve been lucky enough to visit both the pyramids and the Cairo museum, an unforgettable experience.
Sounds amazing! Egypts current political climate seems a little too dicey for me to take my kids but maybe one day we will go.
Great video and architectural recreation.
For better climatic and topographical context perhaps, you might want to look back more than 10000 years ago to re-create the potential paleo climate, vegetation and Nile River’s shore and span extent that surrounded these structures that are looking more and more like they significantly pre-date Dynastic Egyptian history.
Best tour yet. Everything you need to know, guaranteed to make you want to make the trip to Egypt. Thank you!
I had the extraordinary fortune to see first hand the many beautiful ancient sites including these pyramids. That was 1994 and it will always be fascinating to me.
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
What a fantastic video. I'm very impressed. Thank you for your great work, and please continue.
Dude, I really admire your passion and knowledge for the history of ancient Egypt, such as the pyramids. I subscribed ,and will probably watch and like very single video.
Its nice to hear the conventional account of the pyramids rather than all the dare I share it crazy theories
Thanks for the video. As a history teacher, this video is a great tool to give a more visual representation of how the pyramids looked like.
Glad I found your channel. Unique combination of reality with a rendition of what the Giza Pyramids might have looked like. Very informative. Bolero was a good choice. Of course I subscribed.
The background music made it even more interesting. Had kinda a Indiana Jones feeling to it. Thanks for all your work making this.....
Do you know the name maybe?
Ravel - Bolero
I never get bored of knowledge about the pyramids, I find it's mind blowing at times.
Thanks for making the video, and I have subscribed.
Hi Manuel, I discovered you today, and I have to say your videos are really fantastic. I am Irish, with an interest into the celtic roots that connect Ireland, Scotland and Norway.
We have alot of many interesting structures, I would be lovely to watch and listen to your take and explaination of them.
This was a wonderful, educating, video expedition for me. I've always been fascinated by the pyramids of Egypt and your well produced, well researched video was an absolute delight for me. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much🙏🏻 You help so many people who don’t have possibility to travel to Egypt by themselves. Blessings ✨
My friend...thank you VERY MUCH for this wonderful journey, (in 4K)!
I just HAD to stop this video every 20 seconds, just to watch the whole scene...for few minutes!!! :) It was/is just.... phantastic!!!
WHAT A GREAT JOB!!!
I thought there would have been trees and more tropical back then.
Yep
there actually should have been. The Nile's basin is huge and the river flowed closer to the pyramids around the time they were built. While the monuments were still constructed on the desert sand they wouldn't have been too far from palms and other shrubbery found along the river.
Not tropical but more savannah before the region dried up.
Incredible video, I love egyptian history, culture, knowledge, anything pyramid related. I learned a lot, thank you for your work and passion!
I also heard that the white outside limestone could have been quartzite and which also make sense why it had a white look. Either way, I'm learning new things and asking questions for my understanding and growth on the subject. Thanks for your time!
@@CityRockhounding Pretty sure it was limestone as they know where it was quarried.
If I could travel time, seeing this civilization at it's height would be near the top of my list.
I always laugh hysterically at the drawing where the guys pull those blocks which weight tons.
Why?
Fascinating, such an age we live in! To be able to experience such wonders right from our devices.
Astonishing work!
Manuel you are truly a Great Man! Thanks for giving us a tour and time lapse images of the Pyramids. I would love to see your presentation of Palmyra in Lebanon. Also I think showing Jerusalem during the time of Rome would be interesting. I have never seen an image of the Temple of Jupiter on the Temple Platform. THANKS AGAIN
I definitely have to visit the Great Pyramids someday.
It's mostly in rubbles, but I always found it fascinating to imagine how things looked like in the past.
welcome to my city
Yeah. I see the chap in this vid is good at memorizing the official narrative. A narrative that doesn't stand scrutiny, but that's what we have. Egyptology is a profession less so based on science, but more about prestige of the people in them that are way too proud to accept even the slightest error in their judgement (or rather daydream) of the ancient ruins.
@@stijnvdv2 Yes, thats why they do not allow any more excavation as even without more and more evidence keeps emerging that shatters the official narrative
BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS and very detailed breakdown - Well Done!
I visited the pyramids several years ago and this video does the best job of recreating the experience. You really get a feel for what it's like to be there.
And you really don't understand the size until you are there. You intellectually understand they're going to be big, but when you stand at the base and look up, it is simply awe-inspiring. Even though they are on a different scale, I had the exact same feeling of awe when I stood at the base of the World Trade Center and looked straight up.
When I visited the pyramids, we were allowed to go inside the middle pyramid. Only a few people did it as you must walk a long way up then descend through a long, tiny, smooth (no steps) corridor. It was about 5'x4', and it had a pretty steep angle to the descent. You arrive at a normal-sized room containing a burial vault. But you know you are completely surrounded and enclosed by this massive pyramid. If you have any amount of claustrophobia, I do not recommend it.
What a great video, so well produced and informative. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, and the video footage and pictures were great.
Thanks for a lot of info not usually compiled together. I learned some things 👵
Belzoni! Naughty boy for tagging ancient treasures!
But he was a typical 'antiquarian' of his day ... even a cut above in comparison! Didn't know Belzoni even got into that pyramid.
Most precious graphical content on TH-cam!
Very well done, I was surprised to hear Ravel as your soundtrack. It fits nicely.
Wow though ... meaning I haven't heard it called Cheops hardly at all, not in decades ...
But that is what we were taught in the 60s public schools I went to.
Cheops is the name Greeks and Romans used, ancient Egyptians called it Khufu.
There were not any remains found in the great Pyramid: no mummies, no inscriptions, no treasure, zero, nada, niente
Im not religious but ah- freaking men ...
👍👍👍👍
Great work, but I believe there would have been manicured grass and trees and flowers.
Also some of the surrounding temples and buildings would have included brightly coloured buildings.
That would look even more amazing.
Your Channel can compete with National Geographic documentaries! You are so didactic, yet so funny in explaining, so addictive and you explain everything in a very fascinating way! ❤
I can't recall the last time I saw such a well-paced, relaxing and beautiful video... I wasn't even gonna watch it but it was so enjoyable that I couldn't stop, specially when Ravel's Bolero started playing in the background. Well done, man. And, btw, having your name stamped on the bottom right corner of the screen is nasty brilliant😝 to make us know and remember your name. Will steal it, if I may.😬 I'm impressed with the quality of the channel. 😁👏👏😎
Me and my family visited Egypt many years ago. it was great to see the pyramids. My parents nowadays are pretty bitter about our guide who insisted that the pyramids were too boring inside so we didn't go there. My parents regret listening the guide's wishes who was more interested of us visiting giftshops and giving her than nice commission from the stuff we possibly bought.🙄
Wow! A great lesson in the often need to be assertive at key points in life!
