The Mystery of Sneferu and his 3 Huge Pyramids - and a full tour inside the Red Pyramid of Dashur!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2021
- The Red Pyramid of Dashur is Ancient Egypt's third largest pyramid - only slightly less massive than the middle pyramid at Giza. According to mainstream history, it was built by Pharoah Sneferu, the father of Khufu, who not only built this, but two more of the mightiest pyramids of the Old Kingdom, the Bent and Meydum pyramids.
Just how many huge pyramid 'tombs' does one ruler need?
Join me as we explore the enigmatic Red Pyramid, with a full private walk through of it's chambers, and glimpse into the many unknowns about the true history of this remarkable ancient monument.

Great job as always Ben.
Love your work too Brien.
Love your channel Brien! I've learnt so much and seen so many places that I would never have the chance to see in real life through your work. Especially I appreciate you opening my eyes about the nature of the Paracas Skulls. I hope Ben gets into that kind of thing soon too. Did you guys talk about it during your South America trip?

Hello all father
It's a rainy day here, I literally spent all day yesterday cutting firewood, now time to chill with Ben from UnchartedX, cup of tea, bread bakin in the oven and a tour of the red pyramid..good times!
Baked bread sounds awesome....I don't know how....
@Wretched Rebel Fiskers all the way!
@Jonny Splitz Awesome Jonny!

Bake in an oiled pan at 350 for about 35 minutes.
@@oliverolover thank you. Nervous.. sounds simple enough, hope i get it right. And Fiskars are beautiful. Been using Fiskars since i was a kid, seeing my granny use it.
Man that flute is awesome,goose bumps on top of goose bumps to be there in a pyramid listening to that.
I've heard him play Maiden on the flute
@@patricklooney590 talented! I'm more of a AC/DC fan

that flute is awesome! it’s so haunting and that natural reverb is out of this world!
Sneferu and his 3 pyramids, just the title gets me smiling. :)
Haha same!
Love your work too :)
A true legend
Hey dude, love your channel. In recent years I have stepped back from stuff that strays too far from the academic line. Ben does present some very compelling questions though. 3 pyramids for one man ?. I dunno dude, more questions than answers...peace to ya.
maybe he built two pyramids for the two family members "next in line" for self preservation
As the sound resonances of the pyramid are flawless, truly exposes any imperfection in the player or instrument played. What a test to expose the imperfections in man..thank you for that, and thank Yousef, really quite a treat.
Happy to see you managed to finish it before leaving to the Scablands! Hope you have a great trip and i will for sure enjoy your great work 🤗
Hey K, I seem to be bumping into you everywhere (you know your not supposed to be on alternative theory sites right ?) 😉...Ben rocks though (pun intended).Don't tell Curtis or David Miano I was here or they will ban me 😉
Hei K. You have a great TH-cam channel. 🇳🇴
That flute was absolutely beautiful and haunting.
Your videos are brilliant Ben. Great respect for all the work you put into it. Very clearly written and presented. Hope you'll keep it up for many years to come.
Everything he claims has been debunked. Check out sacred geometry decoded to see how people really did this stuff.
Sneferu probably didn't even know what the pyramids were for any more than we do.
I have seen politicians starting building projects for no other reason than prestige...
@@ypey1 Did Sneferu really build 3 mega pyramids? 380+ tons of stone blocks, every day, for 25 years?
@@antoniokasljevic sniffu was a good boy
@@antoniokasljevic And all the while fighting palace intrigue and wars of conquest? That Sneferu sure knew how to multitask! When did he find time to shag his concubines?
This is the best comment I have read.
One of the absolutely best vids on any Egyptian Pyramid that I have ever watched Ben. Virtually a private tour! Awesome. You and Yusef excelled in this vid. The haunting Egyptian music was a wonderful aspect and unexpected bonus. I need to join you both in Egypt. Thanks so much Ben.
Thank you so very much for taking the camera there, for letting the guides ask the interesting questions, highlighting important aspects!
Where before we would've never had a slightest chance of knowing that such questions exist, or seeing footage of inconvenient for archaeologists places, today, thanks to you and other curious researchers, we have footage that is better than Discovery channel or History channel, footage that is not aimed at the lowest common denominator of human population, but footage intelligent, with many details, with high resolution shots of the most exciting spots. Thanks to you and the way you make your videos in the most respectful manner to the viewers, we can see the places with our own eyes, and make our own guesses, not being annoyingly pushed in the dogmatic direction and being starved of even seeing anything of interest up close.
We may never know the original purpose but we'll always be greateful to you, Ben, for making these videous and publishing them on the Internet, thus unlocking the original data for anyone and everyone in the name of freedom of information about our common history. Thank you so very much!
You guys will be a reference for many generations to come. You don't notice it, but history is being made.
So many unknowns regards the ancient structures. If we knew what they were actually used for we probably wouldn't believe it. Thanks for another great video - love Yousef's music, its mesmerising.
Ganz sicher sind es Maschinen, die sich mit dem Erdinnern befassen, aber unserem Wissen weit voraus.
@@hansburch3700Hans du bist nichts weiter als ein unerzogener Verschwörungstheoretiker wenn du deine Zeit nur ein wenig mit richtiger Ägyptischer Archäologie verbracht hättest wüsstest du das es Gräber sind.
We do and only you and the TH-cam generation doesn’t believe it
Another great video. The flute sequence entering the pyramid was well done and very creative. I would certainly enjoy more atmospheric sequences like this in your videos, it brings to life the experience of entering the pyramid and makes it feel like you are there.
An under-appreciated couple of mins
An under-appreciated couple of mins
Oh my gosh, that’s incredible. Yusef’s music is mind-bending 😌
This is perfect Ben! I very much appreciate the efforts you've made to separately cover these pyramids, including all three major pyramids on the plateau in exclusive detail. Good work!
Love it, good work! Can only imagine how much filming and editing time you’ve spent, much appreciated.
that flautist was AMAZING...it's almost like he has some kind of ancestral kinship with all of the technology necessary to create such a solo masterpiece...as always, excellent, Mr. BenBen
Oh yay! Another video by Ben!!!!!
Will ALWAYS stop what I'm doing to watch these, Ben. Thank YOU!!!!
Magical presentation Ben! The music was divine and evoked very ancient times as I watched. My favourite of all your presentations. Many thanks to all who bring this Egyptian mystery to us.
Excellent commentary and EXCELLENT video footage! For all of us who cannot travel to Egypt, this kind of HD-close-up videography is the next best thing to seeing in person
I have been working on ideas of anomalies in the historical record. A simple concept, let's not try and propose 'a theory', let's just look at clear anomalies. The question I have been asking as an historian is; "Can an historian question established historical narratives?" I am not at all a conspiracy theorist and am a big supporter of Ben because his main thrust is to call for research, real, scientific research. Who can object to that if they are an academic intellectual? However, if you know anything about the academy, as Ben does and as I do from my undergraduate days at the Oriental Studies Faculty at Cambridge and post-graduate time at Ruskin College, Oxford, then you know that peer review is a political structure.
Peer review is a badly broken tool that has stood to make science even more dogmatic than it was in the days of religious education.
This drove me away from science when I was in education but I believed that it was only students who were unable to question dogma. Since then it has become very clear to me that limiting critical thinking is a problem right across the profession of science not just in student research.
Its not a crime against sanity to be a conspiracy theorist. Winston Churchill was one , he thought the Nazis were up to no good. The people that caught Guy Fawkes were conspiracy theorists. I'm not sure why vocabulary is being warped. As far as correctness it is a neutral term, it does not mean automatically mean incorrect. I sure you've been a conspiracy theorist at least once in your life.
@@FreeSpeechXtremist I would argue that the problem is now societal. I have just had a warning from TH-cam and one of my videos removed because of a claim against it of 'hate speech'. The subject of the video was whether an historian can question an official, received history. In order to put that proposition together, I merely identified clear anomalies in the official history. I stated clearly that I was not disputing the official history nor was I proposing 'another history or other theory', all I was engaging in was a methodological process of looking for anomalies. Now I would not know how to write hate speech if I sat down and spent a week trying. I am married to an Asian woman, I have worked in human rights and been invited to speak at a U.N. conference on my work and am a calm, patient individual who likes reading books and writing history. I checked my video, absolutely no evidence of hate speech whatsoever. I asked a colleague to look at it and he was totally bemused. I appealed (to the bot, obviously) and asked to be supplied with what the 'hate speech' actually was in the content. Within 15 minutes my appeal was rejected and the claim of 'hate speech' upheld and a warning issued against my channel that all of my work will be removed if I repeated the offence. No evidence provided, no identification of who made the claim, just a kangaroo court and a threat to lose all of my work if I repeat an offence which I am unable to identify. Really, you cannot make this up. A video questioning whether an historian still possesses the ability in our current society to question historical narratives is removed as hate speech. No my friend, the problem with critical discourse has spread far from the campus.
@@jasoncox7257 Actually Jason, I agree with what you are saying here. However, my purpose was much more focused than this general, but very good, point. I was criticising a received history which is plagued with people making up all sorts of theories and the official received history being strongly defended by labelling all criticism as 'conspiracy theory'. In order to avoid this trap, I specifically did not engage in 'conspiracy theory' but proposed a methodological analysis based on identifying anomalies. No critique of the official narrative, no proposition of an alternate theory, merely asking if it is possible to identify anomalies in the received version of that history. I am sure that you see my point here. Like you, the use of the term 'conspiracy theory' as a pejorative really concerns me. Where I am at, as an historian, is that I no longer place much store in the bulk of our received histories. Certainly, Ben's work just supports that view. Again, what I really like about Ben is his call for professional, in-depth scientific study. That's what I call academic. Strange though isn't it, our really contentious histories all seem to be the ones in which further in-depth scientific study is discouraged if not actually banned. My own conclusion is that most of history is a mythology.
No science should be settled.
Thank you so much that we get to follow into the pyramids, really appreciate! The flutist deserves his own video with the best clips from Egypt!
great video work Ben. Close ups, distant vistas, all angles. Just like being there. And the music was perfect! I just added the Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid to my bucket list.
Exceptional as always Ben! The lighting was a bit tricky sometimes but could see everything you needed to.
The resonance in that place sounded off the charts though holy cow
That tune at the end got a full rewind, amazing music. Thank you for this wonderful trip through the pyramid.
Thank you for your tremendous effort producing this content. Easily better than anything else on tv.
The sound of the flute harnessing the acoustic properties of the pyramid... Incredible. New bucket list entry : Playing the drumkit in the Kings Chamber of the great pyramid.
Never had a bucket list .... but I'd like to hear the Dagda's Harp played by the stars & planets in Newgrange (ireland/Eire) as recorded in our myths. Off subject i know, but the music from Yousef ( in the moment before i've listened to the second tune) makes me wanta hear it, the Dagda's Harp more. And yes, i've theory how it's done. Not for here though.. Beautiful tour. Thank you
Wow!!! Pure gold! Surely, UnchartedX in the top best in these fields!
I really enjoy your content Ben. Your commitment and non-biased speculations are admirable. Thank you for sharing with the world.
With the added music you can almost imagine being there in ancient times. Thank you for an excellent tour, with explanation. I am currently watching your collection and hope to enjoy the rest as much as this one !!
Thanks Ben. Another fascinating video, SO MANY QUESTIONS. What I respect you most for Ben , is if you don’t know the answer you will put possiblities forward, but without insisting that what you have just said is the only possible interpretation.Great work mate, keep it up.
Excellent footage. According to Lehner, initially the Bent Pyramid's chapel was a very simple affair composed of two walls of limestone roofed with slabs, which was expanded by mudbrick walls. Within the chapel, two round-topped stelae, the stumps of which remain, were formerly inscribed with the names of Sneferu.
Sunday morning viewing, great way to wake up over strong coffee ☕ cheers again Ben, looking forward to sorting a trip to Egypt with you at some point
The flute the haunting flute music--thank you so much for including that. Shivery. Wonderful work as always Ben.
Thank you both, Ben and Yousef. By far the best pyramid tour video, nothing i've seen ( of a few) comes even close, as of Sept 2021. If anyone knows one, please feel free to educate me.
Especial thanks for the tunes, i'll be back to this vid lots just for that alone.
This educational content is what we truly need!
Great job, as always.
Absolutely lovely!
Education is gained from studying 200 years worth of modern Egyptology and seeing this stuff for yourself. This content is visually excellent but the conclusions are absurd.
I am super jealous that you were able to explore with Yusef! I am a huge fan of all your content Ben. Thank you for everything!
Love your videos. Amazing channel. Thank you for everything. The music was really chill too in this video.
An excellent, informative and entertaining video, as always. Thanks for making it.
What an awesome video, thank you Ben. I gotta see the Red Pyramid on my next Egypt trip
Great video and topic.. I love Yousef's explanation of the stonework... I'm so glad to have stumbled across your channel.
Great idea Ben, including Yousef & his brother's music. I see it being played during construction of these pyramids... thousands and thousands of years ago, waay before Sneferu was even thought about !
Ben, excellent video! The next time you're there you need to take some samples of that oil/liquid/residue that's seeping out of those stones and have it analyzed. All you'd need is a couple of razor blades and small sample/test tubes.
First I was thinking the same. but I really like the way Ben always just looks and take notice ande dont interfere. No matter how exiting it is. And I think it is a good way to avoid critique from people who just waits for an reason to stop Ben.
@@LB-vu2yc couldn't agree more
Great job, you're doing the world a favor with your work. I had never spent that much time on the bent pyramid, but what you show us here belies the simple fact that an advanced civilization was busy at work. At 11:58 where we see the chamber and once again the finely honed granite stones put in place, no one in the world is going to make me believe that chariot-era technology could have done such fine work. Ditto with placing huge stones and cutting through passageways. We have to one day realize that like the discovery in 1964 of laser-assisted surveying tools, that only from 1964 could someone have built The Great Pyramid of Giza. It's coming. The day when how to make megalithic stone work is discovered and then and only then will we be able to understand how they did it. These structures were here when the ancient Egyptians came on the scene. They inspired them to become the great people they are known to be, but we have to realize that somewhere there is going to be a discovery of a library or some sort of engravings which will be the voice of the ancients and it will then be known how tube drills, massive stone work, lifting of 100 ton blocks was done.
Excellent post
Wie sie es gemacht haben ist nicht sehr wichtig, sicher mit weit fortgeschrittenen Werkzeugen, die wir uns heute noch nicht vorstellen können. Wozu die Pyramiden gebaut wurden, ist das wichtigste und weshalb es so notwendig war. Z. B. Kontrolle der Erdumlaufbahn.
This is Michel Gamil RABBAT Egyptian American in Florida pre Osiris (AW SER) the sang a proto Kemt immigrants used biotite stronger than bronze to work slabs of basalt and softer granite..They experimented in raising a BenBaan

Very beautiful and informative, the music on top makes it magical!
Found this TH-cam channel three days ago and have been hooked watching your amazing content! Thank you so much I have learned so much
I am loving your work. You truly got me back interested in how these things were built.
On your recommendation I rented today BAM. Wow! It's really done much better than The Revelations of the Pyraminds which looks dated compared to BAM. I'm considering purchasing BAM instead of just renting it.
I'm looking forward for what you put together after your trip in October.
I was fortunate to go to Israel & Egypt back in 1985. But probably didn't understand the truly amazing stuff I was seeing. At that time I just bought the story that the guides were telling us. No one ever pointed out drilling holes or things like that. No one even caused me to think how these things were possibly made.
After watching more than a few of your videos (and others) but I find your videos to be more accurate and less BS. Plus you keep asking us to question what we are seeing and question the stories we've been told.
And more importantly to use your common sense!
Holy shit the sustained reverb on that flute! That was incredible.
I so much enjoyed this over the "Live Stream" you did a few weeks earlier about Exploring the Great Pyramid; that episode was definitely more chaotic and not as simple for a "Simpleton" such as myself to learn from, compared to this lesson about The Sneferu Three!
When Yusef said "they were still practicing and they finished 3 pyramids?" i died laughing.
They built a dam before the pyramids.
Loving the added soundtrack, really set the stage and exit nicely!
you always make my days better X, thanks a bunch!
Enjoyed the music and all around well done video, thank you!
Another excellent video Ben, cheers... Keep up the amazing work!
Imagine touring a thousand year old nuclear reactor site and having to explain the site. It would be super difficult even without previous human intervention to describe the function of all it's parts. This feels equally as frustrating.
A supersized ballistic cannon: Stick an obelisk into the descending shaft and generate some sort of multiple combustion in the 3 chambers behind.
See how far it flies.
Wissenschaft könnte die Funktion schon längst erklären, aber es gibt starke Interessen so etwas nicht allen Leuten bekannt zu machen. Sie könnten anfangen selbst zu denken.
@@hansburch3700 I've been wondering about it myself. Things like microchips should've been perfected to their physical limit shortly after they were conceived.
But for some reason they were just doubling transistor density every 2 years for 60 years. Doesn't make any sense, science doesn't work incrementally.
If our civilization got wiped out, our records got lost and our language changes, in 10 thousand years they will explain Nuclear Reactors as a ritual site for sacrifice, of course.
Amazing video, Ben. Thanks so much for sharing this! That flute playing was off the goddamn hook!
Awesome work as always thankyou so much. Love the outtro music so beautiful
It is so good to have this video, and your other videos, to refer to. Thanks! I was just there in Dec. 2021, and watching your video, it brings it back to me the things that I saw, but I have no guide, like Yousef to explain what I am seeing. The magnificent stones and the construction, yes they are obvious. But when you get to the top of those wood stairs and see the destroyed chamber, I had no clue what was going on there. The way Yousef explained it makes a lot of sense, that they were maybe trying to find treasure. Asking questions. Getting more questions!
Amazing insights. I had to watch this one twice.
I loved the music too!
Wow Ben you did it again. Amazing content. The flute is stunning. Love your content.
amazing work! the music was outworldly in combination with the video of passing through the tunnels of the piramid!
Totally didn't realize this Ben! Keep up the original work and chipping away at the absurdity of current archeology!
Just an awesome video. Great footage and commentary. Impossible place. It's hard to believe this really exists.
Can't tell you Ben how much of a fresh air look at your unrestricted videos are. Logical giving both sides of the Story while giving us a glimpse of what actually happened...
I think that this is the best video from you...practically alone and that flute...fantastic....i love long shots of chambers.
I been in Egypt in 2004 and didnt go to see that three pyramids
Always a pleasure to see a new video from Ben.
Wow! That music is awesome. Wonderful video Ben
Great stuff, as always. I really enjoyed this. Fascinating
That flute playing was amazing and a very fitting soundtrack to pyramids in a desert LOL!
What an excellent mini doc benny, with yosef playing the flute, dude i felt like i was transported back in time
The flute music was very moving, and might have elicited a couple of tears. Overall another great video by UncartedX!
Hey Ben, have you ever asked Youssef, if he has a grand theory or hypothesis of sorts, in regards to the entire mystery? I always feel like there's a lot more that he wants to say, but he holds back, and surely someone of his calibre has already formulated a grand theory of his own, and whether it be right or wrong, it would be great to hear.
I had the same thought, I would love to hear Yousef's theories
yessir
The grand theory is that modern Egyptology has explained all of this and thousands of people have spent their lives studying it over the past 200 years. To think an armchair Australian with a guy making a fortune off tours have uncovered some truth everybody else has mysteriously missed is rather unlikely don’t you think
@@richardramirez2557 Egyptology has made up some nice stories, which sound convincing if you don't think too hard. All Ben is doing is (actually getting *out* of the armchair) pointing to evidence that brings that story's accuracy into question.
Amazing video !!! ♥️ Thank you so much.
Hi! Love your channel! Thank you for your efforts!
The flute is beautiful! Superb choice of music! Perfect!
Those vaulted ceilings are something else. Music a bonus !
Truly fascinating and wonderful to have Yusuf's music adding to the authenticity of the claustrophobic atmosphere inside the pyramid - even though those chambers soar to impossible heights! Why?! But, Ben, did you notice climbing to the entrance just how incredibly weathered those stones are - surely they wouldn't have built with them like that? The other thing I wonder about, & it was interesting when Yusuf mentioned the 'smell', is just what does it FEEL like in there? I don't know if you ever go places that give you the creeps, or seem incredibly energetic - do all the Pyramids 'feel' the same or is each unique? I'd love to hear you tell us how the structures affect you... Keep safe & enjoy your geology field trip!
Good questions
I look forward to reading of the answers! Great questions bud
Beautiful and enchanting music from Yusof ... and thank you for a great tour.
Huge thumbs up. Quite a magical/beautiful video
I think it makes the bent pyramid more difficult to rob or to break into. There is probably much more weight and pressure on the casing stones in the steep part, and someone might have tried to remove stones in the corner causing the whole thing to collapse. With the Giza pyramids many casing stones are gone and the entrance is visible with the rest of the structure intact, making it much easier to enter or to rob the stones.
Your videos generate more questions than answers, that makes them very interesting!
Wow, this was so amazing! Thank you
Living the dream vicariously through these videos. Always fascinated by Egypt and it’s wonders.
Wow thank you so so much for sharing this video with us
Is well worth a visit. I'm spewin'... it wasn't open back when I was there, I didn't get to see inside. Thanks Ben, another good video mate.
Really enjoyed the integration of the music during the ingress and egress of the pyramid. Excellent episode 👍
You should be charted by now man .
You always have such beautiful camera work to go along with your commentary .
Great vid!
Good job Ben as always. More on the Red Ochre paint (as promised) in the great Pyramid please.
That was awesome mate!
Thank you 😎👍
The best New viewpoints on ancient Egypt
I really appreciate you giving attention to the less represented areas. Just as fascinating really. Wherever there are megalithic constructions, it is worthy of attention. Egypt has the best examples of this though, in my opinion.
This was some great stuff. Thank you.
Always appreciate your work, Ben.
Notice how those lines of discoloration begin a few inches from the ledge, but aren't on the actual underside or in the corner? It's a pretty common sight in caves too. Why would something leeching out of a stone or between mating surfaces not leech out in those areas? A quick observation of bats urinating and the length between the origin of that pee and the ledge they're holding onto solves that question.
It is bat urine, we figured it out since that video was filmed.
@@UnchartedX, has a sample been analyzed? Did you see thousands of bats hanging around?
What would they eat?
On point again Ben and the flute music sounds amazing 👍👍
THE FLUTE PLAYING!!!!!! holy crap man. that was incredible.
damn that flute really brought it all in for me. amazing video as always!
I'm posting a link to your channel on the FB group I belong to, with hearty recommendations. Best channel on the subject. Keep it up and best wishes for the future.
Dope as usual Ben. 🙏
