We call it the “King’s burial chamber” but no one was buried there. And why are there fresh air vents only in the Great Pyramid?
Don't believe your history books
They are monopolized by government
Kings were rarely buried in their public tombs(like...never has been found). They were monuments to honor/and or worship the dead ruler. The ruler would have his tomb secretly elsewhere.

VERY COOL. My father was an architect and he would have loved this concept.
Wow that’s super interesting. Just kidding. You actually think anyone care what your dad did for a living? For real
MrShanester117 I believe you are missing the point here. Julie does not want to use this as a forum to tell the world that her father was an architect. Julie uses it as context it would read strangely if she said here father was a lawyer and would have loved the concept. I think it is lovely that Julie loved her father and thinks of him when articles like this surface. We as a society should covet people like Julie for the humanity she exudes. We need to stop slagging those who have character because of our jealousy for lack of it.
I would like to see National Geographic
put this theory to test building an actual reproduction of this 489 ft pyramid.
It'll never happen because no slaves laid a hand on the Great Pyramid that was built using Hibiru the ancient language of light frequency and vibration. There's no modern technology that can replicate it.
@@jamesclipper4044 where did you come up with this? The Hibiru is the hosting tribes of the original 12 tribes of Israel. Hibiru is called the language of light. Don't try and read any more into it. It is a primal seed language. In other words, a language that is the base for many other languages.
About 2 minutes of Google is all it took.
It could be accomplished if they incorporated Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyff Tower Oscillator Coil Death Ray technology
How about the ones from the King's chamber, 80ton my dude, moved for well over 800km and placed a few dozen metres above other 60-80 ton granite square pieces, We would struggle with today's machinery.
@@juanvasquez521 They shipped the granite by boat on the Nile, then, if Houdin is correct, they used the counterweight system from there. The blocks were closer to 60 tons than 80. The water came close to the site when the Nile was in flood and a harbor was built just for the project.
The ramp would be filled from the top to the bottom once the last stones were brought up. This by far the most workable solution proposed. No insane technology, no massive outer ramp. This is the most logical theory I've ever heard and I seem to recall seeing this theory over 10 years ago.
Kariakas false ,what would support the weight of stones ....they would glide out in time the whole theory is a guess a way to make money ,and even if true where did they got the amount of stones and plus tell me how can you make this huge construction having not 4 sides but 8 in a perfect angle With poles ,have a look at the pyramid from google earth and u will see what I mean ,I’m not saying that the pyramid was build by non terrestrial corps ,I’m saying that they had huge Technology with them the fact explaining perfect cuts on the stones and shapes of structural faces of the Drawings they had and that drawings stand today.... plus check and think how other pyramids across the world where made.... the don’t have same shape . People still think ancient people where idiots .... in fact we are ... we own half of their technology.... and no they weren’t aliens....they was smart very smart.....
Just to hold the weight on the " ramp " you would need enough men to weigh at least 2 tons, then you would need at least another 2 tons of men to move it up a ramp..... 30 years heavy equipment experience..... move a few heavy things in my day...
Remember they would have only about three minutes to lay each block to complete the job within the 20 year estimated time of completion of construction. Its still mathematically and physically impossible by any means we can currently conceive.
@@trevorjackson1551 I don't believe that to be true at all. It's amazing the skill generations of stone workers can achieve and many other cultures have create marvels. The Cholula Pyramid in Mexico, while shorter, is larger by volume. The Kailasa Temple, a massive carved monolith, in India was carved in 2 decades. Angkor Wat is the largest temple complex in the world built in a swanpy jungle while Machu Picchu's massive walls wee built on a mountain top. China's various Great walls required probably more labor than any other project while Nazca Lines required extreme long distance coordination. The marvels ancient cultures created in times of plenty are mind boggling but not super natural.

The Great Pyramid of Giza
-6 Millions Tonnes
-2.3 million Stone blocks
-stones on outer wall 1-3 Tonnes
-inner walls 80 Tonnes
-Perfectly allined North, East , South and west.
-Allined to the Orion Belt
-Nearest query is 500 miles away
-ALL this in 20 years
which means you need to lay a stone block each in 2 minutes.
-
I'm not saying aliens done it but something strange happened 4500 years ago. That's all I'm saying.
you fool, the quarry was right along the pyramid, it was the giza plateau itself, they found it.
Also, you underestimate what an army of thousands of workers can do
First: Very Brave to call someone a fool over the internet.
Second: The nearest Quarry for the solid granite is indeed 500 miles away. Please check this.
Third: Iv been studying The Pyramid Of Giza for many years. The greatest Engineers and architects have no idea, literally no idea how this structures came to be.
Finale point: Coinciding you called me a fool and believe workers managed to pull this off please tell us all how they did it.
For studying them for many years, you still have many wrong data lol.
The solid granite blocks are not so many, I suppose you know it?? Only the kings chamber is made of granite, so like 97 or 98% of the great pyramid is not granite but limestone and masonry, and most of this limestone was carved out of gizeh, so a few metres away.
Granite blocks were transported in boats nile down so its very logical too. Without the nile they wouldn't have been able to transport them, but the nile is there.
The heaviest granite stones are very few, yes they weigh between 20 to 80 tonnes each, but they were lifted using counterweights like JP Houdin tells here.
Most of the pyramid was filled with masonry and mortar so the actual heavy solid blocks are not that many.
Before building the great pyramid, they tried lots of other simpler and smaller pyramids and learnt a lot from previous mistakes, so its not like they magically made it perfectly.
And finally... they could make it because the pyramid is there. No, no aliens were involved, the ancient egpytians built it.
The so called 'Kings chamber' consists of 100 solid granite weighing 80 Tonnes each, elevated 210 feet high. All with a hammer and a chisel.....there is no proof of them using counterweights. None
I think my time is wasted on you if you seriously think they managed to pull it off using basic tools.
Your only argument is ''they could make it because the pyramid is there' that is seriously arrogant statement. The truth is we have no idea how they did it.......no idea. I have no idea, engineers have no idea so i highly doubt a keyboard warrior like you could figure it out
-
You said on the 9th line 'so the actual heavy solid blocks are not that many'........The pyramid concisest of 2.300.000 million stones, most weighing 1-5 Tonnes :/ not that many REALLY!
-
Finally: If you actually read my first comment properly you would of understood that i did not attribute GIZA to any alien being. So your finale quote is redundant.
Plato if you use LOGIC you will realise that the grand gallery makes perfect sense to use as a counterweight system, in fact the grand gallery purpose is this, because otherwise it makes no sense to build such a large and odd shaped room.
Arrogant statement? No, its just LOGIC statement. There is no LOGIC in thinking otherwise. If the pyramid is built, its because they could build it, LOL
I repeat that most part of the pyramid is just masonery and small stone blocks weighing less than 100kg so the actual figure of 2300000 blocks of more than 1 ton is probably not true, and by the way, talking about facts you dont know for a fact that this is true, as most experts believe most of the pyramid itself is filled with masonry, millions of small blocks weighing less than 50kg each
If you have a creaw of thousands of workers you will realise that this "placing a block every 2 minutes" is not so much. It would be way too much if it was done by just ONE worker :D
The ancient Egyptians documented EVERYTHING but why not the general construction of the pyramids !
They found the tombs of a lot of the builders who were also slaves and they have instructions on how they build them.
Because they were already there!
Unskilled slave labourers cut 2.5 million slabs of rock with a chisel and a hammer. No more questions please...🤐
The great Pyramid is exactly aligned with Orions belt. Obviously the true builders came from the Orion star system. They are the Carians (Original bird like humanoid race)
They didn't document human mummifications either. Dr. Bob Brier did do a recent mummification using the instructions on mummifying an Apis Bull.

This is an interesting theory. There has been talks of the use of ramps for years but everyone has thought about them being built outside of the structure and not inside.
I think it is beyond clear how they moved the stones, and yes it was by ramp, but the pyramid itself was the ramp. Allow me to explain. Seemingly for no reason they literally switched from stepped pyramids to flat sided pyramids. I think they built them in the same basic way, but realized that if the sides were flat from top to bottom they could not only move the blocks easier, but could use much bigger and heavier blocks, which was the big difference in stepped pyramids and flat sided pyramids. Flat sided pyramids used much bigger and heavier stones. So how did they do it, they built the lower level just like they built the lower level of a stepped pyramid, but instead of stopping and building another smaller level on top, they simply kept the edge smooth. Why would they do that, so that the entire side of the pyramid became their ramp. What I think they did was use the same wooden sleds they moved the stones with, to raise the stones right up the side of the pyramids. Doing it that way meant they never had to wait for an entire level to be finished before moving on, they could simply move on to the next level while the lower level was still being finished. I think my theory is proved simply by looking at the 8 sided pyramid. From the ground you cannot tell it has 8 sides, but from the sky looking down you can see it has 8 sides. Why does it appear to have 8 sides, well because the groove in the center of each of the 4 sides was were they raised the blocks, and the outside walls of the pyramid was the ramp. Moving the blocks up the outer walls made a groove in all four sides, which appeared to make it look like it had 8 sides. I honestly think that not only explains the groove in the 8 sided pyramid, but also explains how all the pyramids were built. So it is simple, they did use ramps, but they did not build separate ramps, the pyramid itself was the ramp.
Based on my extensive research (TH-cam videos) there is no evidence that the Kings Chamber was ever a "burial chamber" so the great Pyramid should not be referred to as a tomb
Absolutely...and while we’re at it, we need to quit giving credit to the Egyptians for its construction. And although the GP’s precise cutting and placing of stones is intriguing, the strongest evidence for its advanced technology origin is in it’s ability to encode so much mathematical knowledge into its design - - and at the same time, be able to predict so many major historical events into its timeline...things like the Exodus, birth and death of Christ, the Dawn of the Industrial Age, start and stop of WW1 & WW2, discovery of atomic fission, the scored lines pointing to the Pleadies (when descending passage lined up with the North Star), and over a hundred other mind-boggling details. Strongly suggests either time travelers or some universal repeating pattern of history... this ramp nonsense is crazy talk.
@@hyliedoobius5114 yes 100% my belief is more inline with the great pyramid being used for the production of a specific type of energy gathering, among other things. A great deal of info is being suppressed about the GP and surrounding structures.
@@BryanCoombes well...I was in Egypt in 2000 and directly experienced something strange. I had already read many stories of people being photographed while sitting in the “sarcophagus” in the GP. When the film was developed, their image had been transfigured into something radiant and more beautiful or something. I can’t find the word. My experience laying in it was very strange...I was a bit exhausted climbing quickly up the ascending passage, but when I laid down in it, my rapid pulse rate and breathing disappeared. I was immediately in a suspended state of pure awareness, without a body. I was able to peacefully lay there forever with no urge to breathe. Something changed in me.
@@hyliedoobius5114 Wow! that exactly supports the information I was told that that the sarcophagus is actually a resonance chamber specifically made to golden ratio proportions 1 to 1.618. Ancient shamans would lie inside this resonance chamber and meditate, once a particular state is reached the chamber would amplify and magnify their frequency resulting in an instant out of body experience. They could explore outer space by way of inner space, an interesting paradox. This is how they knew so much about the stars. They travelled there via the astral plane. You're very fortunate to have had that opportunity.

For an official National Geographic TH-cam channel to upload a 240p quality video clip is a shame.
I don't think it was really an "inside" ramp. I believe it was open - blocks where the ramp went were simply not installed until the very end - and when they finally were - they started installing them from the top. Any Egyptian pyramid is simply an oversized stepped Egyptian mastaba with smooth sides.
Makes perfect sense to me
I agree. I think it would be a lot of unnecessary effort to cover the ramp. The most effective way would be as you describe, and then "build back" to the ground to complete the structure.
Theres the video that shows the exposed internal ramp construction you suggest, elegant and pretty simple. Still a long way to travel to get stones to the top, its still my no1 preferred option. Im thinking of another option that could get stones up really fast, if there were one or more central shafts.
In case anyone doesn’t know, the narrator of this video is Egyptologist and professor Bob Brier.
He’s one of the very few modern day men who has actually made a real mummy.
Great teacher. I could recognize his voice anywhere.
Hes very ill-informed
My grandparents made my mummy! (Mommy to anyone in north america)
People are still trying to figure this stuff out based how WE do things. Obviously the builders knew a LOT of things we don't.
Wakey Wakey.
Obviously the builders knew a LOT of things we don't? OMG then maybe people should be trying to figure it out. Like the guy in this video.
@Green Lizard Only later stuff was done with "forced labour". Those main 3 pyramids were built from science we have lost.
You're absolutely right
Eggs and bacEE
At this point let’s just mark these pyramids as Solved, and write “Space Aliens” in the How box. LOL
to build something this precise..with extremely heavy blocks and with such clever methods tells me there's definitely something we don't know here..
Good at the start, but like most of these theories they don't explain how the top was finished. A bit like crucifying yourself, how do you hammer that last nail in?
this was a lame 5 minute clip from the full video. There are other longer ones out there that go into much greater detail.
@@Metaphyve The problem with this theory is that it does not explain how the pyramid is capped off. They inevitably end up in the situation that the last stones to form the top of the pyramid will need to be brought up the outside. Plus the reducing space internally as you get to the peak defeats the ramp. At some point they need to start working from the outside in order to finish off the capping and that takes us back to the problem of how did they lift huge stones to the top of a pyramid.
And where did they get those nails? At a reputable nail store, or some fly by night nail salesman?
@@snowmansid i saw a theory recently, about how it was odd that each face of the pyramid seems to have a midpoint line. The theory was that the middle of each face WAS a ramp, with an internal one as well going around. Then, using the side ramps you cap the top and seal from the top down
Finally, I have the answer to what I have been wondering about for so many years. Thank you for this information.
Its a theory and not hard evidence. Keep searching love.
Heard about this theory a long time ago. Okay, so now you have a ramp, and possibly a way to turn corners. Now all you have to do is lifting and placing all of those millions of stone blocks at the assigned locations inside the pyramid. Just how do we do that exactly? The internal ramp strikes me as a rather impractical proposition no matter what.
And transporting millions of stones hundreds of miles...oh and....nevermind, I could go on forever. I'm not buying the ramp idea without more
Still doesn’t explain a lot. The blocks above the kings chamber weigh a total of 70 tons which have been raised 300ft into the air and placed precisely to the point where you can’t even fit a credit card between them. Not to mention the fact these granite blocks were sourced 500km south of the pyramid. Idk people think that all you have to do is show how they moved blocks up and down a pyramid in order to prove how it was built. Literally every aspect is unexplainable. Not just a so called ramp theory.
it was water that moved the blocks
ML Geek I heard Graham Hancock say it on the joe rogan podcast. Look at the short clip about graham Hancock on ancient civilisations and psychedelics. It’s not that long.
Agreed, there are also people that the Egyptians depicted as being almost as tall as their obelisks, placing those massive stones like bricks. The video says that nobody has more experience than this guy on how the pyramids were built. So why don't we look at what the people who actually built it say about how it was built?
Geez aliens built them 💯
@@macclesfielduk321 Truth is stranger than fiction. I'll tell you now it wasn't aliens, but they were very alien people.
Wow, is ail I can say. I’ve been wondering for years how workers got those huge blocks into place when they built the great pyramids. This was one of my dreams realized. Mystery solved, finally. Yes!
yeah no
There’s a much better theory with supported evidence that the blocks were floated with water canals. You can look it up.
Everyone has a theory, but nobody knows for sure! And I truly doubt they ever will. AND, why do they all it the Kings burial chamber, when no king was ever buried there?
The time is coming for us to learn our true history which has been suppressed.
How do you know no king was ever buried there ? Lack of evidence is not evidence.
There's still no explanation of why would aliens need a ramp.
Because they didn't like using the stairs

@@coreymarch9428 Thank you! Geez!
Everbody knows they used the force! If they just looked closer down at the bottom of the structure it was clearly stamped, "made in china".
It's elementary dear Watson. The internal ramp is either there or not. Get back to me when you know for sure National Geographic.
Well, no. The theory is that the ramp WAS there and the corners, left open during construction, were closed later. So at a minimum all the corners are blocked. There is no discussion of what else may have been blocked. But some explanation of how they blocked the corners world have helped, such as how the other three corners corners to the 'open' one at each stage.
@@davidb1446 Well, no. I was referring to the internal ramp.
Too bad there was not more discussion of the French data. I understood that to show incomplete ramps. Or backfilled. I am interrsted in the apparently much wider structure near the top. That would be consistent with switchback ramps in a larger room. It makes no sense to say the grade was 7% all the way up a single ramp. If the blocks are the same height, (rise) all the way up, you need the same run length. which could be achieved with a switchback ramp.
A L I E N S…. Duhhh
I'm thinking they just started from the top and worked there way down 😃😃😃😃
The trick is sliding the last block in on the bottom. If it doesn't fit you have to start over.

There must have been a lot of deaths and injuries when those blocks accidently rolled over on them.

I don't believe we still know how they did it. Along with megaliths all over the world. We are not as smart as we think, and the ancients weren't as primitive.
Maybe they used dinosaurs lol.
I completely agree with you. 👍🏼💯
For me this is one of the more plausible explanations. With something that colossal it makes more sense to use the structure you are building as the means to raise blocks than it does to build a secondary equally colossal structure that you would have to dismantle again. Why would the blocks have to be turned? Could they not be dragged onto a secondary sled which was hauled up the next slope, and then off that in the other direction up the slope after?

Extremely interesting history & discoveries

😄😄😄😄
@Hyeesa I will try to answer with the limited space there is, and this is an important point!
In all the hieroglyphs and depictions from ancient Egyptian time, there is not one mention of the pyramids in their hieroglyphic text. As to how they built the pyramids, where they sourced the material to build the pyramids and most importantly why they built them!
Don't you think that something of such magnitude and stature and human achievement, would at least rate one mention?
Papyrus from the quarry have been found, showing shipments of stone to the Pyramid building site. Blocks have been found at the bottom of the Nile from rafts that capsized. But yes, there are no specific mentions of them, which is very curious.
It’s been billions of days since the pyramids were finished, and we still don’t know how.
Recently a plausable theory has been proposed that the stone blocks are actually an ancient form of concrete and were poured in place.
I've seen a presentation on this and yes very plausible. Interestingly an Australian 60Minutes report presented another theory of moving large blocks via ramps but while filming commented and showed worker's finger impressions into the hard rock without any explanation. But a drying formed block would easily explain this.
That was for the limestone coverings. The granite core are solid blocks.
Sounds good too me....i still think its aliens though
the romans did it and their aqueducts still stand today. i think the romans used volcanic ash in their mixture.
You’d still have to lift the concrete and pour it from a height greater than the pyramid.
May Might Should Could. The mystery continues...
Not only Egyptians, ancient architecture and engineering is a gem compared to modern day architecture.
i dont think so lol you really think they could be a sky scraper...then were are they lol
That's because the Egyptians didn't build them, they inherited them.
Repent to Jesus Christ!!

Until you explain how they carved granite sarcophagus with extreme precision using only copper chisels, you’re still lacking some details.
They used copper tubes and drilled many, many holes, then chipped them out. A mark from one of them still exists inside the sarcophagus
Another method is the sand-saw. Basically a bronze "saw" (no teeth). Sand is placed on the line to be cut, then the "saw" is rubbed back and forth, quickly abrading a smooth cut. Sand is able to do this because it contains silicon quartz, which is harder than granite. Quartz sand would also be used with the copper tube drill method mentioned above, which is then turned by a bow-saw by one worker, while another worker balances a heavy stone weight in top. This easily grinds a core out of granite and these methods have been successfully reproduced in modern times.
Limestone, not granite.
Edit: Apparenty some granite was used, so _mea culpa_ .
They used acid to dissolve stone.
I can't even lift up a two-person deer stand without throwing my back out.
This video came out before the X-Men explained it all to me....
You got it backwards, you have to provide evidence in support of your claim:-)
The first step in science is to form a hypothesis.
Fascinating! It's easy to forget that people back then were just as intelligent as us, they simply did not have the years of written history and were learning bit by bit for us, to get us to the skyscraper culture. It is sad that we are losing extremely important hands on skills...basic war shanking, book binding cooking, farming. 2 nights ago I took my office staff on an impromptu dinner. Nothing fancy. We were all tire and hungry from a long day. By 10-15 minutes,all were texting.exc me.
Humans were intelligently designed and have been intellectual since day one.
They would have to come up with a method ( that has eluded us for years) to build this pyramid in the lifetime of the pharaoh and get it built. Now figure out what ramp they used to get the serapeum boxes in
some would say they were more intelligent than we are today you don't see anybody in this century building a pyramid like that so obviously they are the most Superior engineer and fabricator
it is all started when 200 sons of god ruled the earth. designed everything.
It is irrelevant whether the bulk of the workforce was comprised of slaves or paid labor. What we have, is a colossal feat of engineering, of organization, of division of labor. A pharaoh, used his power build a monument to himself. The age of agriculture allowed the Egyptians to exploit the rich Nile valley, providing a surplus of grain to feed the multitude of workers newly freed from food production.
Whether driven by the whip, an empty belly or the rewards granted superior tradesmen, thousands worked collectively and constructed a great structure that has endured millenia. It's secrets endure as well. But there it is....... built by men. Not no dang space aliens, no rock-meltin' sunbeam rayguns, not levitated by magical secrets from Atlantis. Don't you dare dismiss brilliant, highly- motivated human beings. To suggest that humans aren't capable of such achievements is an insult to our species.... Those of you who couldn't knap a clovis point, or refine and smelt copper, or capture and tame a horse, have no business declaring what our ancestors could or could not do. Most modern humans can't rebuild an engine, write computer code, design an aircraft, or perform a routine appendectomy. Just because YOU can't figure it out, doesn' t make a thing impossible. Throwing your hands up and surrendering to pseudo-science and mysticism is beneath you. Give your species a little credit.
THANK YOU! It's amazing. With all the technology in the world, and knowledge just a finger tap away, people choose to be ignorant.
Thanks for this. No one ever wants to give our ancestors any credit. They weren’t stupid. And we don’t give enough credence to patience because that’s something we’ve completely lost as a culture. They were building for God/Gods, so being built well was more important than being built quickly.
Ok. It took a French engineer, using today's design planning software and computer systems, years to come up with a theory on how the pyramids were constructed. That's once the thousands of tons of granite and limestone were cut and transported there. Now tell us how this engineering was drawn on papyrus, right down to the degree, orientated exactly correct with 8 sides, and built in 20 years by dudes in loin clothes, flip flops, and bandanas using copper hand tools. The Brits would say" What Tosh".
The original free Masons. Energy tools and levitation.
Oh dear you have no concept of what is achievable with simple tools and simple geometry.
@@delcat8168 then you explain it. Explain how millions of stone blocks, weighing tons, were cut, transported, and lifted.
@@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563 the entire population working to accomplish all these tasks. It may have been built in 20 years or so, but planning, and preparing can happen sooner. And regardless millions of people cutting, and hauling aided by simple tools, and animals can do a lot. You can watch plenty of videos on youtube of people splitting stone with nothing but a hammer and some wedges. So ancient people can just drill some pilot holes, and then wedge stuff in.
@@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563
That's a common fallacy.
Just because people didn't have highly developed tools or knowledge about some things doesn't mean they were stupid, incompetent or incapable of great works.
Quite the contrary actually, compared to master craftsmen from old times people of today are usually completely inept muppets.
Just look at what incredible buildings have been realized over the millenia, from really ancient stuff to the masterpieces of the Romans to thousand years old incredible churches and all that.
They were just as smart as our best nowadays are, if not even smarter because we may have started to devolve quite some time ago.
They just had to make do with rather simple tools.
And, obviously, they did.
It's the same even today - a skilled craftsman with measuring tools and a simple tool steel scraper will make you a flat plane from cast iron that's more precise than what a multi million dollar high end grinding machine can achieve. That's why even today, at companies like dixi or wyler, precision equipment is still scraped by hand to reach maximum precision. The tools may be simple and archaic, the result isn't.
The system proposed sounds more than feasible to me, and there appears to be some evidence that could back it up.
Except, when you attempt to build such things it fails. Also there is no mention to discuss the transportation and lifting of 100 ton blocks, cut with laser precision, using supposedly primitive tools. Further to this, how do you mould and lay limestone on top and bond to the granite, again with the same supposedly limited technology. Mentioning that, using manpower of sub a scale requires monumental resources at any point in history, which there is no evidence of. The internal ramp is brilliant, but covers but a small part of a huge building project.
@@thoughtful3393 "cut with laser precision" XD you must have some pretty wobbly lasers then because those rocks are VERY imperfect, almost as if they were cut using hammers, wedges and other ancient tools...
That would take hundreds of years not 20
Plus there are alot more piramids around the world did they all worl the same lol
@@ramondiaz3779 a pyramid is the only stable shape for such a large building, if you dont use metal enforcements.
Wouldnt the 7 percent grade be exceeded as the available space is reduced nearer the top?
His animations all show completed strucure above them. The end of the tunnel, at whatever stage in its climb, would present open air and blue sky.
There is a lot of evidence discovered even after this show was made that prove the hypothesis of the internal ramp was at least one method they in fact did use. The problem is they didn't leave the tunnels open, they get back filled after the top is completed.
What computer did the Egyptians use to design this?

My theory of the great pyramids is mine, I own it, and what it is, too. My theory of the great pyramid is, (ahem), THE PYRAMIDS ARE VERY LARGE AT THE BOTTOM AND MUCH SMALLER AT THE TOP.
...but can you prove it?
That's one helluva theory you got there. But how do you know they're not upside down?
Presumably, you also have a theory that firemen seldom sing songs about Marcel Proust.
And the pyramids were flipped upside down your theory would have to be reversed
@@Albert-Mag... But not if they were built in the southern hemisphere.
One of these unexplained mystery shows had a man raising a 10 ton block ALONE!! He did it on camera and the Egyptians could have used similar "technology"
"It's not as easy as it sounds" - It's early I know but that may be the understatement of the year.
Everyone knows these came from the pyramid growing kit easily obtained at the dollar tree
Interesting. I always thought the pyramids were giant Sphinx turds.
That's still more evidence than the "Alien builders" nuts have ever found.

Thanks❤🌹
There's evidence of advanced technology far surpassing are own for instance they quarried and moved blocks we cant move today
i like your cut g
@@cushionofair umm.... are you serious? modern day technology could move the same blocks in a more time efficent and less riskey way.
I have a great explanation on how they moved the stones, but i have no idea how they got them up lol
Ropes and cranes you idiot.
Everyone has a theory, until they get punched in the face! Oh, wait…
occams razor "the simplest explanation is usually the best one"
the stone blocks were not cut,transported, machined and fitted.
each block was poured, the blocks are concrete which resembles natural stone.
We are astonished by the pyramids . Can you imagine
.. Genghis Khan first saw them ? The Power of Pyramids just standing there.
Wow !
This is how we told Tut we should build it, but, you know Tut, he said the aliens could build it with their machine's.
I think they started at the top and worked their way down,spiraling outwards till they reached the base
lmao
I agree
XD if that was the case i would start believing in the alien theory
This Makes Alot of Sense Considering How Wide the Pyramid Is and How High it is on each Level it would be Ludicrous not too Use it as a Construction Plat form ..When we build buildings today we Use the partially built building To Construct it also We dont build Something along side of it and construct it from there. ..This is so simple too Understand.
One brick every 4 and a half minutes 24 hours per day for 20 years. Our history is absolute rubbish.
I didn't check your math or know how many bricks make a pyramid, but just because a illustration shows them doing one at a time doesn't mean they did one at a time.
@@anttoeknee9672 According to academic experts, it was built in 20 years. That means they would have had to set one block every 4 1/2 minutes. Understand now?
Yea, all we did was go to the moon.
steel wasn't invented yet so how was it done so quickly with rope ,wood and bronze. the only thing I can think of is it took more than 20yrs
@@mac11380 newsflash.....we didn't go to the moon. No human has ever set foot on the moon. Only unmanned craft 🤗😋
Doesn’t matter how they raised them ..... How they quarried them with bronze tools, tooled them precisely and transported them 500 miles is what I want to know LOL
Canals
@@charcolew I agree. They would have needed about 30,000 40’ long boats to float the 5 ton blocks and have enough boats to make the round trip and drop off enough stones to keep the builders supplied. Who built, maintained and piloted the boats?
Did he ask the architect permission to use his eye? Did he return it? THIS is the greatest mystery to me.
Just love how these “intellectuals” leave things out when they don’t understand them or it doesn’t meet what they think it should be! For all the trolls out there my meaning here is if they had included that chart when they did the survey someone eventually would have seen the research and the chart and the gentleman who postulated the inside ramps would have had his research validated much sooner. Good grief!
Since you are so clever give us your theory then. Inner or "outer" ramp theory makes the most sense for me.
The survey would have generated a huge amount of information- too much to publish. They would have limited their publications, articles, lectures to the material that seemed most pertinent.
@@Wulf44445 My theory is you completely misunderstood what I said.
@@Masterchief68 ok.
@@Wulf44445 I believe he was referring to them leaving out the scan that showed evidence of the ramp
Wow he figured it started at the base of the pyramid that's incredible I think it would have started at the top of the pyramid
Maybe it started in the middle then worked up before working down.. just a theory.. yes I think I solved it..
Now I see how the Egyptians also built them on the moon!!!
dang.. I like this theory I mean there are others just as good.. but now in 2018 we know there is a chamber undiscovered in the great pyramid that might just fit his theory.. wat to go Jon...

This is intresting never knew that the pyramid had a ramp this whole time but its seems to make sense to create the perfect triangular space you do need abuild the shape first inside
Its all too precisely built for those Egyptian times, and tools, and lighting requirements, - and with all that our technology and brilliant minds, we still can't duplicate that build except in computer generated models. Its the exactness, that would've prevented the Egyptians from building the great pyramid. Only God of the Gold and Crystal Pyramid entity is the answer. I saw what the top CAP looked like in a vision in 1986, and it wasn't a stone cap. It was a mechanical technical technology that appeared as a...💥🐌crusty ancient metallic cornucopia ( turbo/booster) or a vacuum.
@@richardcoram1562 If you think ancient Egyptian engineers could not have built the pyramids...you are still having visions.
The topper for the Great Pyramid was....a Hoover vacuum? Wow.
@@JohnH0130 J.H, I doubt it was a Hoover, but maybe a space vacuum. Question is; can a vacuum be pulled from the vacuum of space ? I'm thinking -probably. I really don't know how it functioned, but the design of it would've either been vacuuming, or compressing. Suckin' or Blowin'.👽...and the Egyptians didn't..they tried copying the existing agreat pyramids,, and those results are obvious, they just couldn't .
In fact they had a stone quarry in the valley of kings...right next to the pyramids. You can even visit it.
And some (special) stones have been transported, yes. They used sleds or (if possible) boats. (As shown on the pictures they painted)
And no...wood-sleds is easily able to keep the stones. Even a pallet (made out of thin planks) is able to carry 4 tons. What do you think could a massive sled do?
And no..the mathematical perfection is not to perfect. All you have to do is to calculate and

The valley of the king's is 300 miles south of Giza. But yes there is a quarry right next to the Pyramids.
The valley of the king's is 300 plus miles from the Giza Plateau. But yes there is a quarry right next to the Pyramids.
The Flintstones are our greatest history lesson here. Dinosaur power was how it was all done. Duh.
Accordint to Bauval's Orion correlation theory, it would be interesting to calculate the proper motion of the Mintaka star to see if and when over time it matched perfectly with the pyramid of Menkaure in Giza, considering that this pyramid today is slightly offset from the others. I believe that going back in time we would find that the Mintaka star was perfectly aligned with the others as we see the three Pyramids today, giving us the exact date of construction.

@@larjkok1184 Haha
The sides of the pyramid are a bevel gear, imagine cutting 2 large telephone cable wheels in half, you tie 4 halves, one to each to each side of the pyramid brick, then with ropes and pulleys you roll it up the sides. Similar to truck delivery driver’s stair climbing hand trolley.
Yes, that’s another almost-credible theory, but still half-baked. There’s no way ancient rope technology of the day could pull an 80 Ton block up the side and precisely position it in place. Still, it’s an impressive concept. But anything using ropes has the same problem: how do you lower a block into position?? You have to get the rope out from under the block!!! FAIL.
In the CGI where they showed the theory of an internal ramp they show lights on the walls to help the movers see but they have never found any evidence of anything on the walls to hold them or residue of any kind to indicate anything was burned inside.
The ancient Egyptians used electricity through huge copper coils like the ones found in the Baghdad batteries. There's even a few Egyptian hieroglyphs illustrating such feats of engineering
They also said the corridors were never seen, so they can't test that yet.
Interesting concept, but here now 12 years after this video has come out they just found a fourth chamber inside the Great Pyramid. And there are ancient texts that discuss 31 Chambers in the Great Pyramid. It also states that some of the Pharaohs, I believe set evening one of them did not even know who built the Great Pyramid, it certainly was not Khufu. The spot where his name appears to have been painted is actually over a plaster repair that was done many centuries after its building. He does state that he worked on it. But he's never states that he built it. And many of the later Dynasty Pharaoh's never built pyramids. It wasn't until push came along and started building that garbage out the middle of the desert that they called tournaments but those were small excuses for pyramids. Not only does the pyramid show Advanced age, the Sphinx itself has we're on it that had to have been during a time of extreme wet climate.
That makes the age of the Sphinx in the pyramid much closer to between 8 and 12000 years old. Which place is it possibly before the younga dryas event. Which is the only time we can place the possibility of a worldwide flood or pretty close to it.
Furthermore, detailed test of the casing Stones indicate that they may have been made by mixing lime with local available chemicals and pouring the blocks in as concrete. Kind of makes them fit together pretty good that way. That would have easily allowed you to build the pyramid in the requisite 20 to 30 years instead of 600 years which it would have taken you if you could set 10 stones a day.
The great thing about the internal ramp, is it becomes a functional part of the pyramid for one, and secondly even if you pulling up buckets of a concrete solution, it's still answers as to how you got them there.
Get a life will ya.
I’ve heard a theory the stones were cast not cut
@@curtphillipps7830 tests have been done on a couple of those original casing Stones had that has been proven. Although many archaeologists will still deny it. They can't still figure out why the stone is denser at the bottom of it than it is in the middle of at the top.
@@44hawk28 This isn't true, tests show this. It is clear you believe anything you read with little to no evidence.
Learn some critical thining skills and what a paragraph is.
Isn't it easily verifiable if the casing stones are indeed made this way? i.e. artificial?

Still the great discussion on how they were built. When the real mysticism is the dimensions of the pyramids. That is truely amazing.
So why is this ramp theory any better then the other ramp theories. Still just one man's theory
The authorities of Egyptology have probably known for years how they built them but keep us in the dark for one reason or another.
