How sad that people have so little respect for a treasure like this. Before you even went in there were potato chip bags drifting by. Garbage on every level, and a boot print on the greasy box. How disgraceful. Kudos to the woman near the end of the video who was gathering trash and carrying it out with her.
That didn't look like trash she was carrying, but stuff she bought somewhere else. Along with the "bribe" they had to pay, I wondered if they were afraid their stuff would be blatantly ripped off.
Great video. Most of us will never see these places, so this is a real service. Utterly baffling--any explanation of what is was or is can only be a guess. It's a mystery.
Incredible! Thank you so much for taking me on this amazing tour of the Osiris shaft! I will never be able to see it first hand and your videos allow me to see these sites vicariously.
The logistics of carving such a place even today is incredible, i cant imagine how hard that must have been thousands of years ago, just carving that out of bed rock is very laborious, imagine the dark damp conditions they must have been in and yet look at how square the ceilings,floors, walls are, unbelievable!
Could the local authorities please have some respect and pay someone (with all those tourist dollars) to pick up the trash. I mean you have people around there that could use the work. There is really no excuse for that.
My sentiments exactly. This is the last remaining wonder of the ancient world. A UNESCO world heritage site. Why are there mounds of trash and rotting infrastructure? Kids ride horses around on the plateau...
Pretty sure the "pigs" are literally already in many, many temple walls. If referring to humans, is there a test for this? ) All colors have fault. That said, I am disgusted with the amount of litter and lack of care as well.
I have a feeling a good portion of that trash is blowing in and simply collecting there. It happens on big open spaces like that. I do agree with you though, the trash was annoying, especially in that box. They are charging so much to go down there, these least they could do is clean it. I did see a woman picking up trash at the end and I salute her. If I was part of this tour, Id be picking up. Maybe brian and his team can do the same when they go down there and lead by example.
@Sultros. Probably blowing in. They can take a note from Disney; which has people walking around 24/7 for just that reason. Like 20 kids all day is not going to cost much at all. Throw a Khufu GP T-shirt on them and a bag and good to go, problem solved.

This was a pumping station to fill the Pyramid “Pools” that floated the blocks up through a lock system to higher and higher heights until the Pyramids were complete. There were/are underground water sources from the nile and high water years could be reserved in reservoirs to aid in underground hydrology on the Plateau.

Well done Brian! Love those looooong ladders going down! Bit scary... I bet they removed a lot of artifacts before opening to the public... boy, wouldn't that be something to see the mysterious things that were there?
The only reason these tunnels are open to the public now is because all evidence has been chipped and scraped away, imagine what they looked like a hundred years ago, now try to imagine there original purpose
Well that was way cool ..Tks once again Brotha Brien You really are the people's hero when it comes to exploring and helping us see and understand about the world's unraveling ancient secrets
Not each. 2 hours, for 12 people. And don't forget that Mr Foerster is himself indulging in a little business too, huh! And I doubt Hawass was the guy eating crisps, that would be your basic tourist forgetting not to shit all over antiquity - people just like the ones in this video.
@@kenlee5509 That's still no excuse for not picking up the trash. There should at least be some trash barrels around (maybe there is. I didn't see any) It's kind of a shame to see trash ANYWHERE, let alone right outside the Pyramids.
Cat Man I don't think so either but seeing that I have you Here, I have a theory that people are ingesting or inhaling hot particles when they head to Las Vegas. There was nuclear testing for years in Nevada and that stuff doesn't just disappear. One wind storm could blow hot particles around out of the dry desert. I really think I am witnessing a correlation between regular visitors in Nevada and cancer. Could I be right?
It's a sad state of affairs When adults have to be told not to drop there junk in historical sites... But why make an effort when an excuse is way easier... Grrr
Brien I do admire your balls brother. Not many people of higher education are brave enough to go the places you dare scholasticly, hats off to you and my good thanks too those who tried and failed at great cost to their careers. Here's to the internet.
good grief this is fantastic!! what an amazing tour you have procured for your group!! just brand newly opened! I can't even imagine how thrilling to place your hands on these walls that were touched and made by others (?) so long ago.... thank you for sharing Brien...i'll never get there so this is a true treat!
Incredible.... just how can this ever have been made? Copper chisels ... yeah sure. And soooo deep...looks like an elevator shaft ... really amazing. Thanks for this tour.
its possible that they had iron / carbon steel from the Hittites, which would of rusted a long time ago, still,cutting those shafts into the bedrock would be a task indeed www.periclespress.net/Hittites_iron.html
That is because you have so much going on in your life. Put yourself back then when they didn't have all these things going on like in a modern day..They had plenty of time and very little else to do besides the essentials of living back then which was work,food,water, etc.
Amazing video as ever Brien. I think I've solved the riddle of the large boxes you found deep down, as there were 3 chocolate bar wrappers (possibly Cadbury's) 08.06 the boxes were probably used to store chocolate, which was believed to have been first used by the Aztecs. Perhaps they were using a barter system to gain access to the same technology as the pre-dynastic Egyptians. Seriously and in reality an amazing insight into a fantastic era. I love all your videos. Keep em coming!!!!
That dark goop seems to have seeped through the stone above and dripped onto the box. Is there a 3D model of the Osiris shaft? Perhaps there's an unseen area containing more boxes.
Absolutely wonderful thank you for making this available over TH-cam stuff like this blows my mind. We are special the world is special and until we can figure stuff like this out we might never know how special. Thank you again hopefully someday I will be able to be a participant on one of your tours
This just gives me goose bumps. I described this tomb in my screenplay, now novel, in 2016...Chronicles of Atlantis, The Age of Prophecy, Vol. 1. Incidentally, I mentioned Brien in the acknowledgements. Thanks for all that you do.
It's important to know that it's been hollowed out up at the first entrance shaft to allow more space for people to go down (sad to see that kind of desecration) - it used to be a VERY small quite hidden opening down at the back of a filled up trash pit that had to be waded through. I snuck down into it at the back with a little flashlight when they didn't have it padlocked decades ago and only had a bored guard who wasn't paying attention parked at one of the entrances. So, now again, HOW did those boxes get down there??? ;) It's also important to note at least when I was down there on my own long ago that the lowest area wasn't completely flooded except for the center where there was another massive big box / sarcophagus with pillars surrounding it (that I assume is now completely covered with water) and I believe under THIS box is where there was a question of deeper tunneling horizontally out from under it towards the other pyramids etc. Pretty wild to see it all lit up and Disneyfied.
I was wondering where the osiris sarcophagus was they clearly showed it in the older videos along with the four pillar layout you mentioned. I doubt they could have lifted it out it must have weighed 10 tonnes So it must just be as you said submerged under the water.
Yeah, that's interesting about how those multi-ton boxes were brought down there given the shafts were originally small in diameter. Another very interesting note: the wooden plank-way, which has now been knocked down completely. The guy wading in the water there didn't see what was at the end of that walk-way...Its a small tunnel that is elevated off of the floor and very difficult to see in low light. A Russian team years ago went down there and filmed the walkway and showed the tunnel, which may have been pointing over to the Great Pyramid. It shows a woman on the walk-way shining a flashlight down the tunnel. VERY interesting. No one else has shown that feature or ventured in, and it appears someone does not want anyone in that area anymore, or even be able to see it. It's really quite flooded now...
Brien, were you not allowed to film on the 3rd floor, with the 9 foot coffin? What about the beginning of the two passageways in either direction that Zahi Scumass talked about when he was down there in that tv special?
Here is a helpful hint for new people just now beginning to study ancient Egypt; When an underground room is discovered, where the entrance shaft measures only something like 5‘ x 6‘, but where the room at the bottom contains a gigantic stone coffin measuring 8‘ x 12‘, then the Egyptians obviously didn’t bring that oversized coffin down there. They built a mold and cast the object in the same way we cast resin today in molds to make various objects. 😀
Dacite - or Porphyry's to include andesite's, trachyandesite's are volcanic igneous rocks found in a few locations in Egypt. It is widely distributed in the mountains of the Eastern Desert, as well as in the region Northwest of Hurghada. It was mined extensively by the Roman's for export out of Egypt. This information was researched and noted in a book by Nicholson and Shaw "Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology" published by Cambridge University Press.
To answer your questions posed at timing 6:00, the box was poured into a mold. The material was brought down in sacks, like sand bags, where it was then mixed with either water or some other liquid and then stirred, then poured carefully into the mold which was then removed so it could dry.
Maybe they should place a big trash can near this area to keep it clean from litter, I mean 3 thousand dollars a pop you would think they could afford to have someone keep the area clean.
Andrew Go back to the beginning of the video.... If you want to explore this shaft they charge $3,000 to explore the area... They let you bring a group but other than that...Nothing else. People are astonished that theres a price tag to explore the area and yet the People of Egypt and its Government does nothing or almost nothing to keep its Historical sites clean and to keep it from being destroyed by oppressive religions like Islam...
6:29 We need to figure out how those clawing marks all over the walls were made. What kind of a tool could've been used to have done those scratching marks. Cause you see these same ''scratching' marks' in Lebanon and in Malta's megaliths too.
They're called stone working tools, those marks are made as you carve out the bedrock bit by bit - if that is limestone even an Egyptian copper tool could do it due to much of Egyptian copper having a hardening chemical impurity.
@@drsta804 why underestimating the past human civilizations, with the alien argument? Think simple. Imagine if western world falls. Future generations would doubt for sure that we were able to invent a computer.
@Yuri Fyodorov You can make electricity from a lemon or potato. There are electrolytic cells, pezioelectricity, and plenty other ways to harness electricity. A popular theory is that the great pyramid is an ancient power plant. Dive down the rabbit hole. Some interesting stuff.
This video just make me realized that I am not 25 anymore and that I will be PEEING in my pans just to see that hole, not to say to go downstairs there...Great video!! It take a lot of courage to make this...
Great footage Brien, thanks so much for paying the bribe so we can all see it. Has anyone proposed the water is spring/mineral in origin? What could the purpose (if any) of spring water be? The horizontal shafts in the lowest chamber, does anyone speculate on how far they might go? Highly likely that they are the source of the water... I think the Sphinx was involved in this place. I think the proposed voids under the Sphinx, especially the area of floor tiles in front of the paws could reveal connecting shafts and passages that could tie in to the Osiris shaft tunnel system. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
check out this vintage photo which hints at a shaft where the modern-day concrete is between the sphinx "paws" 3.bp.blogspot.com/-zvPFSvnR_lE/VH1tYP_Q9iI/AAAAAAAAhzQ/-m9hS2kDfGo/s1600/bf-2f.jpg or upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Sphinx_partially_excavated2.jpg
I agree with the sentiment, but it's hard to use those photos for confirmation. Photo #1 has a hard shadow combined with the remnants of a crumbling wall behind the little square "altar" between the paws and photo #2's angle completely obscures the area. I would not rule out the idea, though! We have to take in ALL the data. -Sphinx has voids ALL OVER. Top of the head, middle of the back, sides, rear... -Floor blocks in front of Sphinx paws. -Shaft and tunnel networks all around the Sphinx. Campbell's shaft (The Osiris shaft) is right next to the Sphinx. I once saw a CGI rendering of the Dream Stele being removed to reveal a descending passage. That idea always intrigued me. Also the imagery of the Sphinxes on top of the "structures" on the Dream Stele is fascinating. More compelling than anything else is the Egyptian mythology of The Weighing of The Heart. When you die, you go before Anubis and he weighs your heart against the feather of truth. I believe the connection of Anubis to the scale could be a connection of the Sphinx to boxes in the chambers below.
The stone boxes are a low frequency sound resonator likely used to measure the water level without having to actually climb down there and check. It's resonating sound and is connected to whatever is on top of it.
Brien this is so awesome! Like ancient tech and mine exploration combined, haha. It's uncanny the similarity between those tool marks and the ones at Petra. What you are doing is a service to all mankind, thank you so much.
Definitely shows signs of possibly water erosion in the upper levels. I would like to know what the layers of rock are composed of. I would bet this site was sanitized, before people were allowed in? There is a fellow that might be able to shed some light on many aspects of pre-dynastic Egypt. He was a university trained anthropologist who unfortunately for Him would only tell the truth about what he learned. He was blackballed and ridiculed by the academics. His name is Jonathan Grey, he also states that the dynastic Egyptian and the pre-dynastic civilization were different and separated by some sort of wold wide cataclysmic disaster. He also note the pre-dynastic or megalithic constructions are world wide remains of an ancient civilization that covered the entire globe.
Ed Warnock This is my opinion. The underground walls were purposely destroyed. I think the underground was for Priests practicing magik and human/animal sacrifice . A pity the walls are scraped off and so old, because Luminol might’ve shown blood splatter. Like Sodom and Gemorrah, God destroyed them. Mass disappearances all over the world? From the golden calf and on and on. God had enough. It’s coming again
It should be borne in mind that there were local workers there who had installed the ladders, the bulbs, etc, and this gluey material could simply be the product of some work they did there. I personally remember messing up with this sticky material as a child when we used to play near construction sites. More credibility might be given if not every little thing be interpreted as "mysterious". Thank you for sharing this video!
With the water in the lower level and the sticky substance, along with the large boxes and the theory that ancient civilizations had electricity, then I would guess those boxes were the remaining power cells and the connections between them have simply eroded or were removed with the other boxes 🤔 Great video! 👍
I find it very strange that many locations across Egypt which contain large sarcophagi like this video shows are either submerged in water or not far from a water source. The material which was used to create the large sarcophagi boxes is made of material that is found near volcanoes (i.e. very high melting point), the fact that they are so massive and have such heavy lids suggests to me that whoever created them were trying to contain "something" within the boxes (e.g. a chemical reaction of some sort or radioactive materials, both which release heat and would be a reason for the choice of material even with the added difficulty). The thick walls and lid of the sarcophagi would also act as a radiation barrier to prevent radioactive material from leaking into the water supply. The damage inside the sarcophagi would also agree that at some point, these large boxes had a very high temperature source inside of them, but this does not necessarily mean an open fire or explosion. For example, by storing some radioactive material within the boxes and submerging the whole shaft in water, would it not be possible to generate hot water / steam that could then be used elsewhere??? To go to the trouble of finding the materials, carving out the sarcophagi and then transporting it from another country is excessive, there is no reason why anybody should believe that this was done without a significant reason given the difficulty in doing so. The digging through the bedrock, particularly at that depth is also astonishing, nobody in their right mind would bother doing such a thing unless there was a VERY important reason... These facts really do further convince me that the Dynastic Egyptians really did just occupy an old kingdom along with whatever they had left behind, but I do not think that the Dynastic Egyptians really understood how to utilise these resources/technology to their full potential.
Robert C. Christian Just look at the Egyptian sarcophagi that contained human remains. They’re always so adorned. These had other purposes than to hold the dead.
Why would you need to use stone that is not native to Egypt? Why is there a distinct lack of hieroglyphics in the chamber as well as on the boxes? How would these stone boxes be placed in the niches 200+ feet below the ground, and knowing Egyptians liked to show off who built what and when where are the cartouches of the builders? and lastly why put something so deep when no other monument or tomb is? Wouldn't the 'buried' person get lost? there are also no funerary jars, thieves only look for stuff to sell quickly they never bother with removing the funerary jars even if they break them, where are the broken shards of these jars if nothing else? There is a whole lot of questions you don't bother to ask, and I believe cannot, as well. The Egyptian book of the dead has specific guidances that are always observed, did you even read it before making your ludicruious comments and debunking comments?
The great pyramid has only the cartouche of Khepri inside in ink that dates to the 19th century and Colonel Vyse, it is the ONLY writing inside the great pyramid, and in a place nearly impossible to get to in the most upper level of the kings' chamber that had to have a tunnel dug through the rock to get to ...!
What if the ancients had discovered; and utilized nuclear power and buried their nuclear waste like we had envisioned at Yucca Mtn.? If the shafts are indeed smaller than the "boxes," why wouldn't there be evidence of prior shafts that would have been needed to place the "boxes" in the first place?
Simply calling any ancient structure or monument a Tomb or Temple beyond the obvious Palaces or Fortifications is the easy way out. The same could be said for "it must be aliens"
Or maybe the stupid people don't put trash everywhere they go This is exactly the reason Dr Hawass wanted to close the pyramids to general stupid people
6:05 What they don't tell you is when they first found that tomb that black sarcophagas was sealed. One night after everyone left the lid blew off and hit the ceiling and the next morning when they found it like that there were marks and black goo everywhere leading all the way up and out. Several people working there said it looked like something crawled out of it and left the tomb... a month later the same goo was found on the Washington Monument that looked like a weird hand print...
OSIRIS would be disgusted, that there was even a speck of garbage, surrounding one of the most amazing unexplained feats in history. With very excited, but hopefully not, a little unenlightened, ready to go see nothing, but a clear pond and empty casket But the ones with true wondering, would find a priceless place that money could never buy. I hope all the visitors left that way, and as they left, they all picked up the trash along with the unexplained. Thank You Brien. I would never get to see, such an overwhelming, amazing place. I believe the emerald tablets may discuss this place? Look and see?
Nice work Brien. The Consistency of the tool marks, direction, depth , uniform spacing is fascinating. Looks like power tool marks, which would generate tons of dust, which would require ventilation, lighting ect, ect.
I wonder why the shaft {1.57 } is eroded in such a circular manner every 2 - 3 ft ? the erosion marks stop at the "small room ' and the next shaft is clear. WHY didn't he take us down to the lower level.?
Maybe the bedrock was cut like that to hold wooden platforms and/or scaffolding to support an elevator. It would have made the construction of the passages easier by allowing easy removal of rocks and dirt to be hauled up as well as lowering of the sarcophagus into the chamber.
Mr. Foerster, Is it possible that the residue and the explosion was caused by a acetylene gas? Mine Workers used to use calcium carbonate and water to produce acetylene gas for ther helmet lights. Thank you so much for your videos allowing me to travel along with you to so many exciting places that I would like to see.
Religion. The same reason we bother to build massive churches with unbelievably detailed architecture which people in 2,000 years will struggle to wrap their minds around how or why we built them.
@@_John_P That’s actually not a bad idea either. Desert cultures definitely have a habit of doing this. That may have something to do with how their under ground tombs became an aspect of their religion in the first place. They already had workers who knew how to dig shafts in the bedrock, at least.
Could the Egyptologists please, for once, pull their heads out of their rear ends and admit, this is not a tomb. Stop calling everything you do not know what it is a tomb or a temple. It is ok to admit you do not know something. This has such *obvious technical layout and design elements it is not even funny anymore. Come on!
Khufu One And let me guess, it's a book you gotta buy as opposed to countless free sources. This stuff is all a scam so sell gibberish to idiots stupid enough to buy it.
Not sure yet. Mine is different, I think, from the others I have seen. I have the working models in my kitchen over years of work and research. So to me anyway, not a theory anymore.
I got to say, the litter is also apparent when you visit egypts historic monumental site. All the rest is great to watch again Brien, i caught this one a bit late on the year to watch.
If i had to dig over 200ft down through limestone there would have to be a very good reason to do it. Would I possibly be making a very secure prison for something I was very frightened of?
Yeah I've watched truer ancient architects and his theory on the Egyptian building projects being water pumps and wells, but identify the shaft seems excessive to you for just a water well
I can grasp the idea Mr Christian but it just seems to weak to me. Maybe I need to get some DMT bought so I can start believing I can take my electric guitar and amp into the afterlife.
I’m not great, still trying to learn stairway to heaven solo. Any requests? Really am amazed how these massive structures were made. Obviously very slowly and a lot of grunt work, but I do think tools a bit more advanced than a harder stone or a bronze chisel would be enough to create some of the work we see, however I’m the absolute opposite of an expert on how stone is worked. What do you think?

Not each. 2 hours, for 12 people. And don't forget that Mr Foerster is himself indulging in a little business too, huh! And I doubt Hawass was the guy eating crisps, that would be your basic tourist forgetting not to shit all over antiquity - people just like the ones in this video.
There is a massive city a block away, and lots of wind.
@@kenlee5509 That's still no excuse for not picking up the trash. There should at least be some trash barrels around (maybe there is. I didn't see any) It's kind of a shame to see trash ANYWHERE, let alone right outside the Pyramids.
@@MikeS-um1nm They may, and probably do, pick it up... and every time the wind blows, it is like a dry toilet flushing onto them.
should take a geiger counter with you to test for radiation
Cat Man maybe some type of nuclear plant.
Cat Man no clue I am just saying, that that's what the op meant
Cat Man I don't think so either but seeing that I have you Here, I have a theory that people are ingesting or inhaling hot particles when they head to Las Vegas. There was nuclear testing for years in Nevada and that stuff doesn't just disappear. One wind storm could blow hot particles around out of the dry desert. I really think I am witnessing a correlation between regular visitors in Nevada and cancer. Could I be right?
SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BRING ALL TRASH UP WHEN LEAVING .
Should also be common sense not to leave trash, but some humans ARE trash.
It's a sad state of affairs
When adults have to be told not to drop there junk in historical sites...
But why make an effort when an excuse is way easier...
Grrr
Incredible that you’d have to be reminded.
Brien I do admire your balls brother. Not many people of higher education are brave enough to go the places you dare scholasticly, hats off to you and my good thanks too those who tried and failed at great cost to their careers. Here's to the internet.
good grief this is fantastic!! what an amazing tour you have procured for your group!! just brand newly opened! I can't even imagine how thrilling to place your hands on these walls that were touched and made by others (?) so long ago.... thank you for sharing Brien...i'll never get there so this is a true treat!
Incredible.... just how can this ever have been made? Copper chisels ... yeah sure. And soooo deep...looks like an elevator shaft ... really amazing. Thanks for this tour.
i think the bedrock is limestone,its not very hard.
It seems,time did not allow to put a high level of finish-eliminating tool marks-,as other megalithic structures...?
thanks for posting
Still...why why make it square and with smooth walls... If I would make a "manhole" I would make it round and way smaller..
its possible that they had iron / carbon steel from the Hittites, which would of rusted a long time ago, still,cutting those shafts into the bedrock would be a task indeed www.periclespress.net/Hittites_iron.html
That is because you have so much going on in your life. Put yourself back then when they didn't have all these things going on like in a modern day..They had plenty of time and very little else to do besides the essentials of living back then which was work,food,water, etc.
Amazing video as ever Brien. I think I've solved the riddle of the large boxes you found deep down, as there were 3 chocolate bar wrappers (possibly Cadbury's) 08.06 the boxes were probably used to store chocolate, which was believed to have been first used by the Aztecs. Perhaps they were using a barter system to gain access to the same technology as the pre-dynastic Egyptians. Seriously and in reality an amazing insight into a fantastic era. I love all your videos. Keep em coming!!!!
"Chocolate storage?" really....
@@vincemarquez2142 it s satire!! A joke!!! Hahaha have you had a sense of humour bypass?
BAHAHA I didn't even catch it. You played it so well i was literally dumbfounded staring at my screen when I read it last night LOL
That dark goop seems to have seeped through the stone above and dripped onto the box.
Is there a 3D model of the Osiris shaft? Perhaps there's an unseen area containing more boxes.
Aha, a good observation!
Absolutely wonderful thank you for making this available over TH-cam stuff like this blows my mind. We are special the world is special and until we can figure stuff like this out we might never know how special. Thank you again hopefully someday I will be able to be a participant on one of your tours
I am amazed by the structure and how they built it, but also shocked by the garbage all around it, rusty lame ladders and other things.
Very cool and mysterious!
Outstanding Brian was the water clean pure such a great thing to get to see
I saw a comment from someone saying that this is the tip of the iceberg... underneath the sand is a whole giant city
That would be awesome. I think within the next 5-10 years we will find out how old and who built the pyramids
This just gives me goose bumps. I described this tomb in my screenplay, now novel, in 2016...Chronicles of Atlantis, The Age of Prophecy, Vol. 1. Incidentally, I mentioned Brien in the acknowledgements. Thanks for all that you do.
Once again bringing new sites to us thanks brien!
It's important to know that it's been hollowed out up at the first entrance shaft to allow more space for people to go down (sad to see that kind of desecration) - it used to be a VERY small quite hidden opening down at the back of a filled up trash pit that had to be waded through. I snuck down into it at the back with a little flashlight when they didn't have it padlocked decades ago and only had a bored guard who wasn't paying attention parked at one of the entrances. So, now again, HOW did those boxes get down there??? ;)
It's also important to note at least when I was down there on my own long ago that the lowest area wasn't completely flooded except for the center where there was another massive big box / sarcophagus with pillars surrounding it (that I assume is now completely covered with water) and I believe under THIS box is where there was a question of deeper tunneling horizontally out from under it towards the other pyramids etc.
Pretty wild to see it all lit up and Disneyfied.
yea I would like to know more! this is interesting
I was wondering where the osiris sarcophagus was they clearly showed it in the older videos along with the four pillar layout you mentioned. I doubt they could have lifted it out it must have weighed 10 tonnes So it must just be as you said submerged under the water.
A damn shame how its a tourist spot now.. Priceless story as well about your adventure!
cos nothing there anymore
Yeah, that's interesting about how those multi-ton boxes were brought down there given the shafts were originally small in diameter. Another very interesting note: the wooden plank-way, which has now been knocked down completely. The guy wading in the water there didn't see what was at the end of that walk-way...Its a small tunnel that is elevated off of the floor and very difficult to see in low light. A Russian team years ago went down there and filmed the walkway and showed the tunnel, which may have been pointing over to the Great Pyramid. It shows a woman on the walk-way shining a flashlight down the tunnel. VERY interesting. No one else has shown that feature or ventured in, and it appears someone does not want anyone in that area anymore, or even be able to see it. It's really quite flooded now...
Absolutely stunning, mysteries like this make life worth living, one day we may find an explanation.
Brien, were you not allowed to film on the 3rd floor, with the 9 foot coffin? What about the beginning of the two passageways in either direction that Zahi Scumass talked about when he was down there in that tv special?
Looks like the guide only went in. Why? Just wade!
Here is a helpful hint for new people just now beginning to study ancient Egypt;
When an underground room is discovered, where the entrance shaft measures only something like 5‘ x 6‘, but where the room at the bottom contains a gigantic stone coffin measuring 8‘ x 12‘, then the Egyptians obviously didn’t bring that oversized coffin down there. They built a mold and cast the object in the same way we cast resin today in molds to make various objects. 😀
This is your most interesting video.
And that's saying a lot because you have some incredible videos.
Thanks so much Brien! Great video tour.
Perhaps the new minister of supreme antiquities could spend that money on rubbish removal from the plateau :-)
Crisp wrappers just blowing in the wind...
Good job humans! We are winning this thing!
Makes me want to puke
Humans are the real virus
Thanks Brian. Always informative Be well. Be safe 👍🏻
just superb video footage Brien.
There is so much buried in those desert sands. I hope I live to see many more discoveries. Thanks Brien.
Dacite - or Porphyry's to include andesite's, trachyandesite's are volcanic igneous rocks found in a few locations in Egypt. It is widely distributed in the mountains of the Eastern Desert, as well as in the region Northwest of Hurghada. It was mined extensively by the Roman's for export out of Egypt. This information was researched and noted in a book by Nicholson and Shaw "Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology" published by Cambridge University Press.
But without the grocer's apostrophes. That's not how we form plurals in English.
so glad Wowie Zowie is outa the way Gratz!
There is a tunnel system at the bottom I don’t know if it’s on both sides but take waterproof gear and check it out next time you go!
How do you know,? I'm very interested in that, and asked if there were tunnels at the bottom.
To answer your questions posed at timing 6:00, the box was poured into a mold. The material was brought down in sacks, like sand bags, where it was then mixed with either water or some other liquid and then stirred, then poured carefully into the mold which was then removed so it could dry.
... Here & at the Serapeum; just how did they get those boxes down there? Mind blowing....
Maybe they should place a big trash can near this area to keep it clean from litter, I mean 3 thousand dollars a pop you would think they could afford to have someone keep the area clean.
they are arabs
Andrew
Go back to the beginning of the video.... If you want to explore this shaft they charge $3,000 to explore the area... They let you bring a group but other than that...Nothing else. People are astonished that theres a price tag to explore the area and yet the People of Egypt and its Government does nothing or almost nothing to keep its Historical sites clean and to keep it from being destroyed by oppressive religions like Islam...
@@tsohgallik its was only 2k
Wow! It probably sounds interesting acoustically .
Thank you heaps for sharing this from someone who will never see the real thing.
10:32 thank you for the lady here for clearing up the mess left by others
Well done to person picking up all the litter. Good job!
the large boxes of course being batteries
Of course??
Xtroverted Hermit it’s “burned” looking from a galvanic cell type battery. It’s simple chemistry
Tell me how any wires were to these "batteries."
6:29 We need to figure out how those clawing marks all over the walls were made. What kind of a tool could've been used to have done those scratching marks. Cause you see these same ''scratching' marks' in Lebanon and in Malta's megaliths too.
They're called stone working tools, those marks are made as you carve out the bedrock bit by bit - if that is limestone even an Egyptian copper tool could do it due to much of Egyptian copper having a hardening chemical impurity.
@@mnomadvfx i don't buy it, how could it make such a pattern that is seen in the shaft?
Those are alien claw marks my friend
I know a blown capacitor when I see one
@Yuri Fyodorov the boxes are a type a leyden jar. A means for storing electricity. They could of all been wired together to form a battery bank.
@@drsta804 why underestimating the past human civilizations, with the alien argument? Think simple. Imagine if western world falls. Future generations would doubt for sure that we were able to invent a computer.
@Yuri Fyodorov You can make electricity from a lemon or potato. There are electrolytic cells, pezioelectricity, and plenty other ways to harness electricity. A popular theory is that the great pyramid is an ancient power plant. Dive down the rabbit hole. Some interesting stuff.
@@RogerM88 I never mentioned aliens.... 🤔
@Yuri Fyodorov My pleasure sir. I appreciate your thirst for knowledge. Keep at it my friend.
Thanks for showing us around. So many unanswered questions so intriguing.
This video just make me realized that I am not 25 anymore and that I will be PEEING in my pans just to see that hole, not to say to go downstairs there...Great video!! It take a lot of courage to make this...
Great footage Brien, thanks so much for paying the bribe so we can all see it. Has anyone proposed the water is spring/mineral in origin? What could the purpose (if any) of spring water be?
The horizontal shafts in the lowest chamber, does anyone speculate on how far they might go? Highly likely that they are the source of the water...
I think the Sphinx was involved in this place. I think the proposed voids under the Sphinx, especially the area of floor tiles in front of the paws could reveal connecting shafts and passages that could tie in to the Osiris shaft tunnel system.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!
check out this vintage photo which hints at a shaft where the modern-day concrete is between the sphinx "paws"

or
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Sphinx_partially_excavated2.jpg
I agree with the sentiment, but it's hard to use those photos for confirmation. Photo #1 has a hard shadow combined with the remnants of a crumbling wall behind the little square "altar" between the paws and photo #2's angle completely obscures the area. I would not rule out the idea, though! We have to take in ALL the data.
-Sphinx has voids ALL OVER. Top of the head, middle of the back, sides, rear...
-Floor blocks in front of Sphinx paws.
-Shaft and tunnel networks all around the Sphinx.
Campbell's shaft (The Osiris shaft) is right next to the Sphinx.
I once saw a CGI rendering of the Dream Stele being removed to reveal a descending passage. That idea always intrigued me. Also the imagery of the Sphinxes on top of the "structures" on the Dream Stele is fascinating.
More compelling than anything else is the Egyptian mythology of The Weighing of The Heart. When you die, you go before Anubis and he weighs your heart against the feather of truth. I believe the connection of Anubis to the scale could be a connection of the Sphinx to boxes in the chambers below.
4:02 I'd also like to note the tool marks look like those of Longyou caves in China, as well as many other places around the world.
water does run through the limestone under the plateau .... could be !
hiddenincatours.com/what-is-the-osiris-shaft-in-giza-egypt-who-made-it-and-when/
awesome Brien!
sad to see all the trash blowing around.Minus that,a great vid!
I did enjoy the video.. I’m glad you recorded it and posted it to you tube...
The stone boxes are a low frequency sound resonator likely used to measure the water level without having to actually climb down there and check. It's resonating sound and is connected to whatever is on top of it.
I believe that it could be a great idea to take a geiger meter with you next time.
Brien this is so awesome! Like ancient tech and mine exploration combined, haha. It's uncanny the similarity between those tool marks and the ones at Petra. What you are doing is a service to all mankind, thank you so much.
Definitely shows signs of possibly water erosion in the upper levels. I would like to know what the layers of rock are composed of. I would bet this site was sanitized, before people were allowed in? There is a fellow that might be able to shed some light on many aspects of pre-dynastic Egypt. He was a university trained anthropologist who unfortunately for Him would only tell the truth about what he learned. He was blackballed and ridiculed by the academics. His name is Jonathan Grey, he also states that the dynastic Egyptian and the pre-dynastic civilization were different and separated by some sort of wold wide cataclysmic disaster. He also note the pre-dynastic or megalithic constructions are world wide remains of an ancient civilization that covered the entire globe.
Ed Warnock This is my opinion. The underground walls were purposely destroyed. I think the underground was for Priests practicing magik and human/animal sacrifice . A pity the walls are scraped off and so old, because Luminol might’ve shown blood splatter. Like Sodom and Gemorrah, God destroyed them. Mass disappearances all over the world? From the golden calf and on and on. God had enough. It’s coming again
Thank you for sharing this Brien Foerster. I'm shocked to see the garbage in there? I'd love to know more about the black goo!
It should be borne in mind that there were local workers there who had installed the ladders, the bulbs, etc, and this gluey material could simply be the product of some work they did there. I personally remember messing up with this sticky material as a child when we used to play near construction sites. More credibility might be given if not every little thing be interpreted as "mysterious". Thank you for sharing this video!
What will see When we lift the large box? Might that be untouched material of 10k+ years old?
Robert C. Christian we can find plastic everywhere so the world is as old?
With the water in the lower level and the sticky substance, along with the large boxes and the theory that ancient civilizations had electricity, then I would guess those boxes were the remaining power cells and the connections between them have simply eroded or were removed with the other boxes 🤔
Great video! 👍
Tar oil pits everywhere. So oil lamps were normal. Ancient. They had light.

I find it very strange that many locations across Egypt which contain large sarcophagi like this video shows are either submerged in water or not far from a water source. The material which was used to create the large sarcophagi boxes is made of material that is found near volcanoes (i.e. very high melting point), the fact that they are so massive and have such heavy lids suggests to me that whoever created them were trying to contain "something" within the boxes (e.g. a chemical reaction of some sort or radioactive materials, both which release heat and would be a reason for the choice of material even with the added difficulty). The thick walls and lid of the sarcophagi would also act as a radiation barrier to prevent radioactive material from leaking into the water supply. The damage inside the sarcophagi would also agree that at some point, these large boxes had a very high temperature source inside of them, but this does not necessarily mean an open fire or explosion.
For example, by storing some radioactive material within the boxes and submerging the whole shaft in water, would it not be possible to generate hot water / steam that could then be used elsewhere??? To go to the trouble of finding the materials, carving out the sarcophagi and then transporting it from another country is excessive, there is no reason why anybody should believe that this was done without a significant reason given the difficulty in doing so. The digging through the bedrock, particularly at that depth is also astonishing, nobody in their right mind would bother doing such a thing unless there was a VERY important reason... These facts really do further convince me that the Dynastic Egyptians really did just occupy an old kingdom along with whatever they had left behind, but I do not think that the Dynastic Egyptians really understood how to utilise these resources/technology to their full potential.
Robert C. Christian Just look at the Egyptian sarcophagi that contained human remains. They’re always so adorned. These had other purposes than to hold the dead.
Why would you need to use stone that is not native to Egypt? Why is there a distinct lack of hieroglyphics in the chamber as well as on the boxes? How would these stone boxes be placed in the niches 200+ feet below the ground, and knowing Egyptians liked to show off who built what and when where are the cartouches of the builders? and lastly why put something so deep when no other monument or tomb is? Wouldn't the 'buried' person get lost? there are also no funerary jars, thieves only look for stuff to sell quickly they never bother with removing the funerary jars even if they break them, where are the broken shards of these jars if nothing else?
There is a whole lot of questions you don't bother to ask, and I believe cannot, as well. The Egyptian book of the dead has specific guidances that are always observed, did you even read it before making your ludicruious comments and debunking comments?
The great pyramid has only the cartouche of Khepri inside in ink that dates to the 19th century and Colonel Vyse, it is the ONLY writing inside the great pyramid, and in a place nearly impossible to get to in the most upper level of the kings' chamber that had to have a tunnel dug through the rock to get to ...!
What if the ancients had discovered; and utilized nuclear power and buried their nuclear waste like we had envisioned at Yucca Mtn.? If the shafts are indeed smaller than the "boxes," why wouldn't there be evidence of prior shafts that would have been needed to place the "boxes" in the first place?
Sorry but nuclear waste of this kind of level would be traceable for a hundred thousand of years. There was no ancient nuclear technology.
Astonishing & mysterious great wonders of Egypt!!!
I heard of the water and shafts, but never put the 2 ideas together of being under the Gaza area. Thank you for the amazing video!
Simply calling any ancient structure or monument a Tomb or Temple beyond the obvious Palaces or Fortifications is the easy way out. The same could be said for "it must be aliens"
No evidence of early use as a tomb - earliest artifacts are 6th dynasty. Intrusive tombs date from 26th dynasty.
I think that this was built for the purpose are either manipulating magnetic energy or almost like a battery🤷♂️
How did the Egytians light up the space if theirs no trace of burning flames in that enclosed space?
They used the flashlights on there iPhones duh
Exactly. Tunneling to that extent without a light source? Impossible. A lot of ancient accomplishments are way beyond our understanding.
Electric lights.
Dendera lightbulbs
Randy Crowe yea I think they were advanced like us but I also think that they figured something out and distorted them selves I guess idk.
With as much as they charg everyone per person and groups they cant hire somone to pick up trash for 15 usd a day
Or maybe the stupid people don't put trash everywhere they go
This is exactly the reason Dr Hawass wanted to close the pyramids to general stupid people

What's with the garbage all over the ground? That looks Lovely!
6:05 What they don't tell you is when they first found that tomb that black sarcophagas was sealed. One night after everyone left the lid blew off and hit the ceiling and the next morning when they found it like that there were marks and black goo everywhere leading all the way up and out. Several people working there said it looked like something crawled out of it and left the tomb... a month later the same goo was found on the Washington Monument that looked like a weird hand print...

Thanks for taking us down in there with you!
OSIRIS would be disgusted, that there was even a speck of garbage, surrounding one of the most amazing unexplained feats in history. With very excited, but hopefully not, a little unenlightened, ready to go see nothing, but a clear pond and empty casket But the ones with true wondering, would find a priceless place that money could never buy. I hope all the visitors left that way, and as they left, they all picked up the trash along with the unexplained. Thank You Brien. I would never get to see, such an overwhelming, amazing place. I believe the emerald tablets may discuss this place? Look and see?
Nice work Brien. The Consistency of the tool marks, direction, depth , uniform spacing is fascinating. Looks like power tool marks, which would generate tons of dust, which would require ventilation, lighting ect, ect.
I wonder why the shaft {1.57 } is eroded in such a circular manner every 2 - 3 ft ? the erosion marks stop at the "small room ' and the next shaft is clear. WHY didn't he take us down to the lower level.?
He didn't wanna get his pants wet and/or risk loosing his footing and then ruining his camera, probably.
Maybe the bedrock was cut like that to hold wooden platforms and/or scaffolding to support an elevator. It would have made the construction of the passages easier by allowing easy removal of rocks and dirt to be hauled up as well as lowering of the sarcophagus into the chamber.
Looks like this was a concrete building that spent millions of years under water. Wood box that petrified?
Mr. Foerster,
Is it possible that the residue and the explosion was caused by a acetylene gas? Mine Workers used to use calcium carbonate and water to produce acetylene gas for ther helmet lights. Thank you so much for your videos allowing me to travel along with you to so many exciting places that I would like to see.
Calcium carbide
Amazing. I dream of the day I can afford to go on one of your adventures!
Who maintains the trash? I've noticed trash piles in shafts in other videos too.
If they used bronze tools to carve those tunnels there should be metal traces all over the place. Take a rub off the wall and get it tested for metal.
Why in the hell would they go through this immense effort to cut a "symbolic tomb" absolutely amazing footage
It looks like they were digging for water storage for the dry season and the tomb became a later convenient feature of the cistern.
Religion. The same reason we bother to build massive churches with unbelievably detailed architecture which people in 2,000 years will struggle to wrap their minds around how or why we built them.
@@_John_P That’s actually not a bad idea either. Desert cultures definitely have a habit of doing this. That may have something to do with how their under ground tombs became an aspect of their religion in the first place. They already had workers who knew how to dig shafts in the bedrock, at least.
Could the Egyptologists please, for once, pull their heads out of their rear ends and admit, this is not a tomb. Stop calling everything you do not know what it is a tomb or a temple. It is ok to admit you do not know something. This has such *obvious technical layout and design elements it is not even funny anymore. Come on!
Khufu One So you, a random TH-cam user, know more than Egyptologists.
In this case, yes. Everyone knows it. Moreover, I, a random youtube user is going to prove it. Wait for the book on the technology.
Khufu One And let me guess, it's a book you gotta buy as opposed to countless free sources. This stuff is all a scam so sell gibberish to idiots stupid enough to buy it.
Not sure yet. Mine is different, I think, from the others I have seen. I have the working models in my kitchen over years of work and research. So to me anyway, not a theory anymore.
They had a function, but not for the dead or how we think.
8:008 It is always so sad to see the trash all over the place in Egypt. See it so often...
10:48 More trash...
I got to say, the litter is also apparent when you visit egypts historic monumental site.
All the rest is great to watch again Brien, i caught this one a bit late on the year to watch.
1:22 its depressing to see trash rolling about at such an important place
Nice work, Brian. And who knows what Hawas looted.
Everything that would benefit humanity.
If i had to dig over 200ft down through limestone there would have to be a very good reason to do it. Would I possibly be making a very secure prison for something I was very frightened of?
or a water well
Yeah I've watched truer ancient architects and his theory on the Egyptian building projects being water pumps and wells, but identify the shaft seems excessive to you for just a water well
I can grasp the idea Mr Christian but it just seems to weak to me. Maybe I need to get some DMT bought so I can start believing I can take my electric guitar and amp into the afterlife.
I’m not great, still trying to learn stairway to heaven solo. Any requests? Really am amazed how these massive structures were made. Obviously very slowly and a lot of grunt work, but I do think tools a bit more advanced than a harder stone or a bronze chisel would be enough to create some of the work we see, however I’m the absolute opposite of an expert on how stone is worked. What do you think?
