- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- Let's go inside the "third" pyramid of Giza! I managed to take my camera there and now I can show you the inside of this pyramid, closed to the public for many years! You will see rare footage and hear lesser known facts. I will tell you about the pyramid of Menkaure itself, its complex, and discoveries.
It's a must-see video for all who visit Egypt or Luxor - the country of the first pharaohs. To appreciate and cherish the magic of the place before you travel to Egypt watch this. My vlog / full documentary will give you little taste of ancient wonders: ancient architecture, ancient beliefs, and ancient history.

It sounds like English is a second language to you , what is your original language? Your English is great I’m just curious.

Thanks for not having an annoying voice. So soothing and listenable.
😊thanks for watching
She's just plain lovely isn't she?
Can hardly understand anything said. Accent too thick.

Gee, I'm legally deaf, but I understand her just fine. I just love her accent plus many aspects of her work.
Thank you for this beautiful footage, some of the best I’ve seen. And thank you for pointing out the fact that granite is impossible to manipulate with copper. That fact needs to sink in to our psyche, there is more to Egypt than meets the eye 🥇🤯🔥
Thank you!
How do you know, have you tried it?
@@szaki it’s not rocket science. And personally? No. But many have, with the same result. There isn’t enough copper on the planet to cut and shape the all granite, basalt and other igneous stonework we see in Egypt. Granite can’t be manipulated to the degree we see in Egypt with copper tools.
Beautiful videography and very well researched commentary. You have taught an old Egypt enthusiast new things about the Giza plateau. Best wishes!
Thank you so much
You are living the life I dreamed of since a kid… thank you for letting me sort of experience it through your videos. If things align in my life hopefully I can visit one day too!
The filming, narration, editing, are all incredible. Thank you, and you did a great job of bringing the viewers here!
Thank you so much 😊✌️
Exceptional Kudo's to the surreal musical background accompaniment!1!
Thanks 😎
I love how slow and steady you capture the structures - letting us viewers take it all in like we are there. And the script is well-written and engaging. Phenomenal video!
subscribed ^.^
Thank you! welcome on board
Loved this video and you are a very beautiful narrator! 😊
Thank you ❤️
I was in Egypt two-three weeks ago and I was able to explore the inside of Menkaure’s Pyramid. This pyramid is easier to explore than others. Highly recommended.
That's true!
The arched stone ceiling was pretty amazing. Thanks for the share. :O)
Thank you!
New subscriber. I enjoy the deliberate and well paced commentary. It provides the viewer with time to absorb the beauty of the site.
Thank you so much!
I love this Lady's presentation and her accent. Beautifully made video and with a fresh way of looking at the Great Pyramid with little-known facts make this one of the best I have seen and I have seen most of them.
Thanks for watching ❤️
YES!!! YOU'RE BACK 😊. Nice to escape the winter weather of Germany for a while.
oh yeah, I escaped from the cold and darkness 😉
Wonderful video as always Irena! Beautifully written, narrated and filmed.
Thank you! ❤️
-The Best Video Quality Ever! :) ...and the narrator provided lots of interesting information in conjunction with the captured video. A most pleasant presentation.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ❤️
Great video and content, thanks for the tour! Cheers!
Thanks for the tour. This was my first time seeing the inside of M's pyramid. Great attention to detail.
Thank you 😊
@@ancientsitesgirlI guess you didn't like my response to the alt-history crowd, huh?
Doing ground work for my first trip and happily found your great narrative. I took note that only pyramid in Giza dedicated to a woman is now available for visitation.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Not only do I get to see Egypt in a new and different way, but I always learn something too. Great work!
Thanks James
Hello Irena, been awhile. The acoustics in the inner chamber are wild! I'd love to bring my acoustic guitar in there. I honestly have NEVER seen that long gash on the pyramid face before, and I've seen dozens and dozens of documentaries on the Great Pyramids. Using gun powder 😝. I'm glad you were FINALLY able to get inside though. Terrific walk through and as usual your Camera person did a fantastic job. With the close ups I could almost smell and taste the stone work! 😝🤣. Until next time, keep up the great work!! 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦❤️🍻
Thank you Colin! ❤️ I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
What a cool channel! Traveling around to amazing locations and taking a deep dive into the rich history and culture. I look forward to watching many more! Happy travels and may fun and adventure always present itself in novel ways!
Thank you so much ✌️
This is my favorite type of video. Beautiful pictures with a very comprehensive description.
Thanks 😁✌️
Love all your videos specially this video inside Menkaure pyramid never seen a video inside the pyramid until this one... keep up the good work...
Thank you so much! Hope you subscribed to be up to date with my new episodes. :)
Loved the footage! If I'm not mistaken there were at least 3 individuals discovered in the pyramid. The tomb robber, the one in the wooden anthropoid sarcophagus, and there was one in the original black granite/basalt sarcophagus that sank on the Beatrice on the way to England. Could the one that sank with the Beatrice have been Menkaure? Some people think the body was female so maybe one of the queens? It's interesting that some sources do not even mention this body found in the sarcophagus. It's frustrating that such a priceless discovery is sitting on the bottom of the sea off the coast of Spain. The wreckage washed up on the shores of Cartagena.
Superb quality, thank you. The extreme precision of the engineering, particularly in the micron fine alignment of those huge internal slabs, is absolutely mind blowing.
Thanks! that's why we love the ancient egyptians!
Nice, this is how I want to see & hear knowledge about the pyramids.. 👍
Thanks for watching!
@@ancientsitesgirl My pleasure!!
Wonderfully atmospheric video ...surely one of the best about the Giza Pyramids.
one of the best about Giza... thank you for the true compliment ❤️😊
This is so amazing
Humans are so creative to have came up with the idea of using sand to grind down the harder rocks like granite
always so fascinating to see the inside of any pyramid, and the bit of smooth wall visible on the outside is great. what stood out to me is how intense the erosion on the limestone is, like they must've known at the time how it would erode compared to granite, but of course it was probably way easier to do it in limestone lol
Thanks for this comment!
Around the black pyramid of Dahshur you can recognize the two entrances, which are located in the southeast and southwest corners. But they are filled with sand and debris and hidden under pieces of white rock scattered around, which are clearly differentiated from the dark clay material of which the rest of the pyramid is made. I suppose your visit will show it only from the outside. But in the rare case you had obtained permission to enter inside, you will be one of the first people to get it, so please share with us some tips about what needs to be done to get it 😉
Originality has its merits...yet, maintaining these incredible structures is paramount also. I am definitely for the restoration and preservation. Bravo
I like how she points out that copper tools couldn't be used to break into the granite chamber. This begs the question, then how was the granite chamber made with just copper tools?
So much wrong information in this video 😯
@@Mariel_Moonwhat was the wrong information?
copper tools" has been a repeated, deliberate inaccurate claim. The "copper" is not pure but actually a mix called Arsenical copper. (much harder)
@@Finness894 Harder than granite? Nope. In fact, a 30% increase in hardness means it may still struggle with limestone and wear quite quickly. The arsenic's primary benefit is better casting. Who's making an inaccurate claim again?
I knew I wouldn't have to scroll very far to see the "...couldn't do it with copper tools...had to be a far more advanced, power tool using, ancient hidden knowledge havin', I know this because I"M the expert thinkin'", graduates of Hancock, Carlson, Foerster you tube university of " I'm just asking questions, but mainstream academics are all corrupt except the ones that seem to support the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis that was, in some ways, similar to the Chixulub asteroid impact 66 million years ago, without the extinction of significant percentages of flora and fauna the world over." You guys never fail to amuse. Live long and prosper.
Love the beautiful cinematography!!
Thank you
The camera work in this video is exceptional. Unlike your other videos, there were no jerky movements or fast transitions. It flowed smoothly and was well-shot. Your storytelling remains excellent, as always.
Thanks! :)
Beautifully told and filmed, great job as always!🌹
Thank you dear!
No w końcu ktoś zrobił film o piramidzie Menkaure. Kapitalne zdjęcia, muzyka i montaż. Brawo!❤
Są inne filmy. Ale są dość stare.
Was very interesting! You see info on the other 2 but never on this one. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching ✌️
Your presentation skills are excellent. I am going to watch some more of your videos now. Thank you.
Thank you
I tried the Super Thanks again after reporting to you it didn't work. It's working this time, so have a coffee or tea on me! Cheers!
Thank you for your support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@ancientsitesgirl You're very welcome! What's your favorite site so far?
This was a great video, maybe my favorite you’ve made on a single monument so far. I love hearing about the history of its construction and discovery while you stand inside and show what you’re describing.
Well done!!! Now I’ll have to see what other adventures you have posted
I'm glad you like it, I hope you stay ✌️
Very very beautiful photography, the explanation was amazing,👍
Thank you
Thank you, ancient sites girl, happy to hear again.
Thank you ✌️
Beautifully filmed and enthralling narration, with interesting information, thank you.
Thank you so much 😊
Wonderful, always interesting!❤
Thank you so much ✌️
You are living my dream of studying Egypt in person
I go there every year, one day I will stay there
I want to go ride the iron ore train through the Sahara desert and walk around Egypt and Jerusalem on camels forever
But you make a TOP NOTCH production. You deserve a show and funding.
Thanks 😊
Does that mean they have closed Khafre's? Because normally in Giza they only have two pyramids open at the same time.
Yes, Khafre is currently closed.
@@ancientsitesgirlThat's what I thought. When I visited Khafre's last year, the burial chamber was filled with large wooden boxes. I don't know if they would be for maintenance work or because they are carrying out some type of scanning project there.
I was I had watched this before I visited. Fantastic Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Yay! So glad to see you in Egypt again! (the other places are nice but Egypt is /Egypt/! 😉 )
Your filming and narration are still the best! ❤
Thanks 😁❤️
Bravo great video, thank you for sharing.😊
Thanks for watching!
Super!!! Nareszcie doczekaliśmy się relacji prosto z Egiptu. Kapitalny odcinek. I jaki na czasie!!!
Dziękuję Grzegorz, już się o Ciebie martwiłam!
@@ancientsitesgirl Trochę byłem zabiegany, a Ancient Sitesów nie lubię oglądać w pośpiechu. Wygodny fotel i odpowiednie nastawienie psychiczne, to w tym temacie podstawa.
Excellent video and Thanks for the information .
Thanks for watching
Love this predeluvian masterpiece 🥰
This is a rhetorical statement based on common sense and basic geology
Ooo nawet ja jestem częścią tego filmu ❤❤❤
Very good made and lot of interesting information! And you are also amazing natural beautiful person!

It’s nice to have a hobby.
I love all your shows
Thanks!
I was there last year, it was amazing experience being inside the pyramids
So true! Thanks for commenting! :)
Amazing you got in without gunpowder.
Great video !
You've lost so much weight; You look great !
Thanks 🤣
Pięknie, cieszę się, że kolejny ciekawy odcinek. Pozdrawiam i życzę wytrwania w pasji❤
Dziękuje!
Thank you for this video, not focusing on the great pyramid was the best. One of the many things that I noticed is the similitud of the granite rocks with the ones constructing the Sacsahuaman and in Cuzco in Peru, coincidence? I don't think so, those cultures I think had too many things in common, what do you think? Your friend in Key West Ingrid Holm.
Of course the similarity is obvious! I have been reading Thor Heyerdahl's books since I was a child, they are intriguing, but I am still waiting for any historical evidence of contact between these cultures. Best regards, Ingrid❤️
@@ancientsitesgirl Tobacco and cocaine in Egyptian mummies... ST. Lewis 97% pure copper found in the Middle East on a shipwreck. Phoenician wreck off the American coast. The Phoenicians had trade relationships with the Americas, so either Egypt traded there or they simply got said goods from the Phoenicians Also, if Zachariah Sitchen is right, then even older, while he was still alive, the 'god' / engineer called Thoth left Egypt and stayed in South America for a while, which might explain the similarity in Megalithic structures as well as the water / power / irrigation projects.
Wow. Look at that masonry at 07:18. Mind blowing.
Very well done, thank you!
Thanks!
Very precisely built with great craftsmenship ....💯💫...
indeed. thanks for watching!
Do u feel like u been lied to when u go in the pyramids ???
Fantastic, Outstanding video!
Thank you
The stone work amazing,Ceiling curved blocks of granite!!!!
True! Thanks for commenting!
Those casing stones look very similar to the massive walls in Peru. Even with the mysterious knobs.
Lubię twoje filmy i twoje zainteresowania starożytnym egiptem . Życzę ci dalszego zagłębiania się w historię starożytnego Egiptu
Dziękuję!
Miło mi że odpisałaś
Fascinating.
Thank you!
Excellent....girl...thanks...Namaste🙏
Thank you ✌️
Thanks Irena, another wonderful video. I cant believe how many parts they shut off to the public, it's like they wana hide something from us all. You do such a brilliant job showing us as much as you can and teaching us all you know. You are a living legend 😊
Love to you always
🧡🧡🧡
Beautiful
funniest part about Egypt wanting to restore the pyramid to it's original condition, is how many times in the past has it already been restored.?.?.?.
The highly controversial casing stone project has been stopped 👍
Oh no! Where did you read that?
This pyramid forms the mirror image of Orion, too.
Thanks for this comment!
Very nice video, greetings from Sweden
Thank you!
If you are aware of the architectural principle they were built from, it will be easy to find the entrance. It appears those before, did not know it.
these entrances were blocked with stone blocks and camouflaged. even if they knew which wall to bark on, they didn't know at what height... it wasn't that easy
The story about the attempted demolition by Al-Aziz is very likely something like a hoax and not to be taken as historical fact. History for Granite has an episode about the great breach. Also, the entrance to Menkaure's pyramid (and all others) was never obscured.
Thanks for this info!
I’m absolutely floored by the precision of workmanship, and while not a mason by any means, can’t see doing this with copper tools… fantastic work on this video! Safe travels always!
Also when you look at the unfinished granite blocks on the outside that she shows in this video, and compare to the finished blocks, it's impossible those were done with copper tools. The portions that are partially "smoothed" are clearly curved right where they stopped, like some kind of large grinding tool was used. If they were using copper chisels or any kind of chisel and hammer why would they curve out sections like that, and how would they do that even if they wanted to? The partially finished blocks on Menkaure look similar to the unfinished "cuts" around the large obelisk, where the experts say they pounded them with granite balls, but if a crew of people were doing that their appearance doesn't make sense. Whatever they used wasn't any of the current tools we know they used. I'm completely in awe every time I think of these pyramids because we still don't know what they used them for, what all the shafts and features were used for, or how they cut and moved the insanely large blocks.
@@badcrcz You can grind granite smooth with diorite.
@@Leeside999My mistake, it was diorite balls at the obelisk, correct? I don't doubt that is possible given enough time, but if that's how they did it, I would like to see a complete demonstration showing how they got precise fitting blocks using that method in the timelines archaeologists have given. It just doesn't seem feasible to use such a primitive method. Given everything else, they seem much smarter than that. In the few demos I've seen they barely do anything, and the marks look extremely rough compared to the finished blocks. It seems like that would take an extraordinary amount of time that they didn't have.
@@badcrcz For precisely shaping granite they probably wouldn't have used diorite balls. That was used to remove the stone, not shape it. They had different tools and techniques. It wasn't a case of one tool does all the work.
You can saw/drill granite using blunt copper saws or copper tubes used in conjunction with abrasives like corundum or quartz sand.
You can carve granite using flint chisels.
To carve out an obelisk they used fire setting on the surface which made the granite brittle. They then used a combination of pounding and grinding to remove the brittle stone. The rate of removal after setting fires speeds up the process significantly. I think the rate of removal is sped up by the order of 20.
The smoothed "scoop" appearance of the granite can be achieved by grinding the diorite on the granite.
For flattening granite you can use a technique called lapping, which is still a technique used today. You rub one flat piece of stone onto a rough piece. This will smoothen the stone flat over time.
I think you are confusing being "smart" with having advanced technology. They were indeed very smart and that is shown in their techniques, not technology.

Thanks ✌️
Thank you❤
One red to another ❤😊
Thanks for watching, best regards ✌️
Awesome!
Thanks!
Amazing! I wonder how they will use technology to map the facing stones to restore them.
I'm curious too!
If you contact Russian Scientists who have Built Pyramids, they will explain why Pyramids are not tombs... For the last 100 year true energy science has been utterly stunted by several wealth-Tyrant Families who use Debt Slavery to harm humankind for profit and hubris... If you wish I will explain further.... Thank you for such wonderful and detailed visual explorations.... I was there in 1993, and sadly many areas have been intentionally closed off to hide the true original structures complete features....
Heyy there beutiful is there still food or wine in the food Chambers obviously it wouldn't be OK to eat but I was just wondering what's to hide or do u not know? Xx
I often wonder what the romans thought when they saw this workmanship in egypt
The red granite chamber is so precise cut .... with the arched ceiling ,...how? And was its purpose for something else? Why such hard labor for someone to burry. Thanx for sharing.
very good ...thank you!!!
Thanks for watching
@@ancientsitesgirlwhen its your next video
oh dang...my heart
Thnx for your video very nice I love everything bout egypt. But the opinion the couldt come in with only kopper also make the build of impossible. and they are there. We lost some knowledge about tools or ways to cut stone. very interesting 😍😍
Thanks!
Crazy all the Tombs built after the pyramids from the Valley temple and the Sphinx complex all the way to the Great Pyramids. Kinda like they wanted to get some Pharaoh mojo.
I will soon post a video about Giza's private tombs, there are plenty of them there!
