The Improbable Timeline of the Old Kingdom Mega-Pyramid Builders!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- The Old Kingdom period of Ancient Egypt was a truly remarkable time in history, an era of mighty mega-projects that are still standing today, achievements unsurpassed in human history. But is this really when the giant pyramids were built?
It seems to have come out of nowhere - lifting the Dynastic Egyptian Civilization from the stone-age to the advanced technology required to build the Great Pyramid of Giza in a very short period of time. Only then to seemingly disappear again, never to be repeated, although the Egpytian civilization continued on for thousands of years.
The closer you look at this time period, the less sense it makes, and the more contradictions that appear in in the story of history. Join me as I explore the details of this lost era of history and look in detail at the improbable timeline of the Old Kingdom mega-pyramid builders.

This video turned out being much longer than I thought it would be, but it's a core component to the overall case for a re-evaluation of history, and I've always wanted to fully explain just why I find the Old Kingdom to be such a contradiction in the story of our past.
What do you reckon the weight of all the old kingdom monuments put together are? Lets use the great pyramid as a measure, so for instance 10 great pyramids. If so, they would have to plan/quarry/shape/move/construct 12 tons of stone every hour of the day for the entire 500 ish years of the old kingdom. The population was at best 2 million at the end of the old kingdom and there was military campaigns going on at different times as well. Even those are pretty impressive numbers.
@@cholst1 not to mention the population needed to supply food and water, sanitary. The population needed to farm, transport and distribute. All this with stable hierarchies, politics etc over the decades. Also planning had to be organized and executed over decades from it's original planners.... unlikely
Glad to be a patreon, again an incredible good work
Beautiful Job this video.
Your presumption that what we are told is a pile of it is correct.
The Egyptians of that era found the megalithic sites and copied, modified where applicable or re-purposed them.
Thinking you are forgetting something.
These kings were magic. They just twitched their nose and the blocks moved into place from miles away.
It would be great if we could just work out how they made such precise, polished accurate items. The internal corners would be hard to do even today.Sure a mill could do it but would need incredible reach and very small cutters. or a small mill used inside the box but would need to be secured to be incredibly rigid. So how was it done??? Answer this question will lead to the true history of the pyramids
"Egyptology" is what you get when historians are allowed to mark their own homework for a century.
👍Absolutely the best comment❤️
You are spot on mate! Chewy on the boot of Zahi Hawas!
Book smart idiots, is what they are.
I’m gonna steal that.
Gold 👍🤣
Chew on this, Hawass. The man must have been a politician in a previous life. "I'm a scientist," he says. Ha! Someone needs to introduce him to the scientific method!
I think he is more of a politician than an archaeologist in this life...
Egypt's Dr Fauci.
Lol I don't waste time on that, I'm a scientist I'm a scientist!
@@claycollins8973😂
@@MikeLyons2011 Fauci is a hero based on the facts. smh
The lack of thorough scientific investigation, and the way that many of these ancient sites have been treated is a disgrace. We could be sleepwalking into an extinction level event, and acknowledging even the possibility that something similar could have happened before (natural or not), effectively resetting civilization back to the stone age, could help us avoid a similar catastrophe in the present. Humanity is extremely primitive in so many ways.
100%
Cataclysms 😏
You know what kind of industry is necessary to achieve the things they did in Egypt? They sucked the Nile ground dry! They were met with plagues.. the damage we do is worse in comparison.. buckle up. We all over eat, not in touch with reality ungrateful.. food with chemicals pesticides… what they were met with for their deeds will be paled by what we will be met with… God bless
We are not superior to those who came before we are the most arrogant self centered selfish destructive people in the entire human history
We disrupted Gods harmonious work and made it beyond balance this time.. we poison the air with poison lies greed..
I mean we aren’t sleep walking into anything. We’re well aware of the extinction level threats we face - problem is nobody cares.
Why do you think any of these other civilizations collapsed? For the exact same reasons. Humans are stupid selfish and short sighted.
Whether it’s political, a space rock, a disease, climate change it doesn’t matter. People don’t care - not enough of them at least.
Real talk
Another absolutely fantastic video. Outstanding Ben. The detail and evidence you present is compelling and the quality of the presentation is top class as always. 👏
I watch your work, too. You, Ancient, have a talent for finding obscure texts on the subject, blowing off the dust and interpreting them for dummies like myself.
It's the humble and generous spirit expressing admiration for someone else doing similar work that serves you well -- in a karmic way. Kudos to you, too, Mr. Architects!
Thanks Matt!!! :)
finally with your excellent work, too, 2 good Channels ( a French one too ) , Brian Forester is annoying..sorry he gets on my nerves , " solar plasma , plasma , plasma...."
Ay Matt aproves❤
@@alexandreintouch1847 solar, plasma, plasma etc, yeah. Annoying? It's very important. Cyclical destruction of the world is an ancient concept. The ice age "energy paradox" can have only one explanation. That amount of energy can only come from the sun. Now, if it's plasma, giant flares or micro-novas, we'll have too wait and see.... Could be crustal displacement due to magnetohydrodynamic disruptions, with the crust floating free, which will cause the ice caps to centre around the equator. Something big is coming our way, it's encoded in all ancient cultures, myths, religions.
“O Solon, Solon, you Greeks are always children: there is not such a thing as an old Greek.” And on hearing this he asked, “What mean you by this saying?” And the priest replied, “You are young in soul, every one of you. For therein you possess not a single belief that is ancient and derived from old tradition, nor yet one science that is hoary with age. [22c] And this is the cause thereof: There have been and there will be many and divers destructions of mankind,1 of which the greatest are by fire and water, and lesser ones by countless other means. For in truth the story that is told in your country as well as ours, how once upon a time Phaethon, son of Helios,2 yoked his father's chariot, and, because he was unable to drive it along the course taken by his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth and himself perished by a thunderbolt,-that story, as it is told, has the fashion of a legend, but the truth of it lies in [22d] the occurrence of a shifting of the bodies in the heavens which move round the earth, and a destruction of the things on the earth by fierce fire, which recurs at long intervals. At such times all they that dwell on the mountains and in high and dry places suffer destruction more than those who dwell near to rivers or the sea; and in our case the Nile, our Saviour in other ways, saves us also at such times from this calamity by rising high. And when, on the other hand, the Gods purge the earth with a flood of waters, all the herdsmen and shepherds that are in the mountains are saved,3 [22e] but those in the cities of your land are swept into the sea by the streams; whereas In our country neither then nor at any other time does the water pour down over our fields from above, on the contrary it all tends naturally to well up from below. Hence it is, for these reasons, that what is here preserved is reckoned to be most ancient; the truth being that in every place where there is no excessive heat or cold to prevent it there always exists some human stock, now more, now less in number."
"Officials working on it so it can be opened to the public." Means removing everything that hides the correct history.
Zahi Hawass is the worst thing for Egypt's ancient history.
He need to go to jail for frud and robry
The worst? Possibly in the modern age. In the past? I suspect that the ancient Egyptians them selves were the worst. Erasing previous rules and appropriating their constructions. Attempting to erase them from history. The original "deplatforming"
he is a charlatan! working on pillaging the entire area to this day...and hiding anything he finds from the public....what a travesty...
@@mpetersen6 in the ancient times when they did that, they did not hurt "ancient history" but more "current history" :)
Pharaoh Zahi Hawass is just following order from the.high Quackademia of guess work in a white coat of mavericks!
Shocking facts (and these are facts):
-The egyptian elbow is exactly the half of the meter. The real meter, which was discovered in the spacial era, when they realized that they had to correct the original meter in order to launch satelites successfully. So 2 egyptian elbows are exactly a meter. Does anybody realize the implications of this? It´s a total WTF.
- The great pyramid has got 8 faces, not 4. The effects at the equinoxes and solstices are amazing. When it was covered with the smooth and almost mirror polished original stones, painted in red, the spectacle had to be the most amazing thing ever witnessed.
-The original El Cairo, was built only with the covering tiles. Figure out how many of them were.
-The error accepted in modern architecture is way higher than the measures in the great pyramid. In fact, the deviation error on the angles at the base, is the same as if you look at a coin from 1 Km of distance. This is almost impossible even nowadays.
-Diamond is the only rock harder than the diorite. There are jars of diorite with long necks thinner than a pinky. Even today, to make that is fucking baffling.
-To cut diorite or granite with copper tools is like trying to cut a rock with kids´s scissors. The idea is stupid, but is what they keep saying.
-Speaking of that, there are trepans with the drilling marks, in spiral. The experts, as engineers, say that those marks, each turn, is made, at least, 60 times, and sometimes 200 times faster than we can do it today, with diamond or tungsten cylindrical drills and fluid to cool it and prevent the burn of the drill.
-They have found hairs and nails inside the rock tiles. INSIDE.
-They knew about the precession movement of the Earth. Ortodox science claims that they knew it by watching the spates and declines of the Nile. That is the most stupid affirmation ever. It would take millions of years of observation to get the numbers. Absolutely stupid.
-Svetla Balabanova, a german scientist, discovered coca and nicotine in egyptian mummies. She didn´t write an opinion, she just wrote the results of the analysis. They threatened her and tried to silence her. Coca and nicotine are originals from America.
-Not a single corpse has ever been found in any pyramid, even with the seals intact. Pyramids are not tombs.
And many more things. That thing is impossible. But there it is.
They keep saying that there is no mystery in it, that a bunch of people decided to push some rocks with just the muscles and a few ropes to make that. One of the arguments they use, is the motivation issue, that the people of that time had their motivations the same way that in the middle age they had the motivation for the cathedrals. Nice try, but there is a fail in that argument: Nowadays, we KNOW how a cathedral is made. We could do it if we wanted. There are tons of mysteries on the cathedrals, but we do know how to build them. But we don´t fucking know how to build a pyramid like the so called of Keops. We just don´t know how to make it even with modern colossal cranes, trucks, lasers...
We all love science, but I don´t know what is their problem with this issue. Well, I actually understand them. See, when you spend all your life studying and working hard to learn a story, spending lots of effort, time, and money in the process, it has to be really really hard to admit that all that you have learnt is bullshit. So there isn´t any conspiracy here. The thing just works by its own.
Conclusion: You can't build a civilization simply by pounding a big rock with a small rock. Sounds reasonable to me. Love your videos and you thought process Ben.
We use saw blades covered in Diamond pieces today, those are smaller rocks that can cut larger rocks so I'm not sure what you mean.
@@davidmcfarland8967 Very true David. "Today" we have that. But, did they have Diamond tipped saw blades in Ancient Egypt? And, I did not say "Sawing" a civilization, I said "Pounding" a rock. I was referring to the Dolomite Balls that archeologists insist the Egyptians used to free the living stone from its bed. There are still many pieces missing from this puzzle.
@@StephiSensei26 There are quite a few theories of how they cut and shape. different stones, while the exact method isn't agreed on the fact remains that harder stone or mineral can cut or wear down softer material, the difference is method used
What about Rust?
I believe that they used many methods to quarry, sculpt and finish the truly ancient pieces (single stone obelisk, statue and sphinx) pounding with a rock seems the least likely .
Clearly the ancients were much more advanced than the majority of the dynastic Egyptians.
The tools and methods used have either been lost to time, or suppressed to maintain the stone age/ bronze age timeline
Pharaoh: "I am a great ruler of a large population of people that has just more or less emerged from the Stone Age. I wish to commemorate my death by building the largest, most complex structure ever by orders of magnitude, to house my dead body. It must also be of materials that are extremely hard to work. And the blocks should be BIG, like way bigger than necessary, even if the sheer size and effort to make them will likely kill some people, and even if the same thing could likely be accomplished with smaller blocks. And the most difficult to work stones should come from very far away, and also be the most perfectly shaped and placed of all the stones. And the entire thing must be perfectly aligned with the true north of the planet. And also have the length and height be to scale of the planet's width and height (cuz we conveniently know that too). And must also be so precise such that future civilizations will have to invent special technology in order to tell how off we are. And also actually be 8 sides, but you can only really tell on couple days of the year. And also there shouldn't be any records kept of how it was built- because we keep records of everything else. And also you can't use many types of mathematics such as trigonometry and calculus because they haven't been discovered yet. And you have 20-30 years to build it. Here's some hemp rope and bronze chisels. READY? GO!"

HAHAHAHAHA
How did they light the tunnel system (eg. while working) under the step pyramid... that alone is a huge question mark... imagine, you are 3-4 stories below ground, total darkness and you get the task to dig that tunnel. We are talking of years, maybe decades of continuous digging, and for that you need 1) ridiculous amount of fire sticks and that would leave visible burn marks on the ceiling 2) you need good ventilation otherwise the tunnel system gets filled with smoke. The issue of lighting is always forgotten by researchers.
Man that is a hell of a question. There would be burn marks and smoke damage everywhere. I've never heard anybody mention this ever.
Ancient architects posited that they had chemical batteries using bull carcass put in granite sarcophagus generating electricity. It is in his video about the Serapeum.
th-cam.com/video/QKAf5h3atXI/w-d-xo.html
UncharteredX has that video where his Egyptian guides showed him how the sandstone can conduct electricity.
th-cam.com/video/PS1azzN0b-I/w-d-xo.html
In pure speculation, if the ones who built the pyramids, or dug the tunnels had been used to living underground for hundreds of years, they would have extreme night vision. Or had mutated to see in the dark?
@@fanforever100 But what for the actual light?
Some hieroglyphics show what looks like oblong light bulb roped/wired to short stone column. The Egyptian guide UncharteredX featured actually built a smaller replica of this column for his experiment/exhibit.

Just AWESOME; I've waited for this summation to congratulate you - and those who've helped you - in your extrapolation of the reality of the TRUE timeline of what we now call Egypt, kudos👏👏👏Superb job💥👊❤💯 Having had the luck to have a father who was a close friend of Anwar Sadat, I too have had the pleasure of visiting and having access to the sites you mention above. Expect for El Aryan,which was off limits even then.. Hawass and his egomoniacal ilke, are reprehensible fools,who's ignorance and obstruction will be all that will be remembered of them in the future. Unfortunately he and the religion that dominates Egypt for now,see it simply as a money making "theme park"; to be honest we're lucky they've not simply flattened the monuments to extend Cairo. The devastation to ancient sites in Saudi Arabia, means there will never be a chance to even explore the reality of its past. The ridiculous "history" of Petra,show that this narrative ,will for now dominate the Islamic world ,that's not to mention the people with an agenda,that though in part true, wish to attribute ALL of the enigmatic monuments and what's underneath them to the Nubians, who did indeed rule for a period,but,did not build,the monuments you mention above. Across the planet,people like your good self are, thanks to the Internet , finally able - in ways that are sometimes neither as articulate nor constructive as your excellent videos - to question the current paradigm and slowly brake down the ignorance imposed by the likes of Hawass . The discovery of Göbekli Tepe and the other sites surrounding it,which are only just being excavated this year,will hopefully rewrite the academic/school books of who we are and how we got here. Thank you for the sheer quality of both you videos and though process. Wishing you&yours an excellent week👋🌟✌
Hawass, LOL. In the interview (with South African investigative journalist, Derek Watts) talking about REAL scientists wanting to be famous by writing books to make money - I can write a book on my thoughts on Hawass (it isn't even necessary) - but to spare you the time and your money: Hawass is an A$$!
@@ashleyvandermerwe6527 😉😀"As a book title, it does have a nice 'ring' to it...am sure it would be a bestseller! Best wishes to you& yours👋🌟✌
@@SkyWalker-ke9ms You'd be surprised - or not - at how much sense your comment makes and there are is much historical argument for "the exodus" (if it ever happenned at all) taking place in Saudi Arabia,not Sinai. It's one of the reasons the Saudis have utterly demolished quite a number of contentious sites,particularly along the red Sea coast and up into the mountains. There was a VERY strong Jewish presence in the area of Mecca & Medina,just check Wikipedia for the most basic story and read more if you feel inclined. It's one of the great tragedies of history that the area of the world and an age old conflict which impacts - let's ignore oil ,money & territory, for now - on the whole area (& the rest of the world ) in the present day,should all come from an agreed common source! In the determination of the three levantine - let's include Saudi - religions - jewdaism, christianity and islam - to establish there dominance over that part and now the rest of,the world,they've ALL played their part in attempting expunging the truth about Egypt from the records! All of them have to a lesser or greater degree,imposed their 'fundamentalist' beliefs upon this one country and ALL played their part in its submergance into a 'mythical' past. All archeology has at it centre,someone ,normaly a man,brought up to belive in one of the three religions. The group who insist on an African "Egypt" - have obviously never read the source material and though right about a VAST and WONDERFUL African civilisation are directing their attentions to the wrong end of the continent! They and the religious groups,ignore the limited DNA evidence,including the most famous,that of Tutankhamun's which was completely controlled by Hawass and yet still managed to inflame practically every group who claim Egypt as theirs. And NONE of them seem to get their heads around the actual timeline, an argument made so eloquently,above by Ben! The wonderful thing about the Internet, as well as its greatest flaw,is that information can be disseminated easily and sometimes extremely fast. For the whole of recorded history of mankind,we've always had to differ to Egypt, possibly Sumner as the oldest civilisations. This has been quite a feat as it ment, that the Indus Valley & Norte Chico on entirely different continents had to be discounted, downplayed or simply ignored. Now with the discovery of Göbekli Tepe and the surrounding area,we're forced to push ALL of this aside and start from scratch. Into the new mix,has to be included an ENTIRELY NEW TIMELINE for the history of North America and with the man made deforestation of Southern America, we have to explain the VAST Population on that continent, too. In fact, almost monthly,both with the discovery of fossil bones,teeth etc,we've not only discovered the Denisovans, but, sites that contend for oldest. This is all well and good,but,much and as fascinated by Göbekli Tepe as I am,it still pales in comparison with feats of ancient engineering( there really is no other word) found all around the world! But,the monuments and relics found in Egypt are still,to this day,the most enigmatic. They demand questions and interpretation of the quality of the above video,it's maker ,Ben and his body of work. The time for the "Hawass mindset",will end as a result of the Internet and a growing demand by a generation of people who are exploring the world with no preconceptions or attempt to prove old religious books true. Sorry for the rant,but,this has been a hobby of mine for 45+ years and I delight, when someone like your good self makes a comment that has such resonance,kudos👏👏👏Wishing you& yours the very best👋🌟✌

I remember being shocked when I first heard about the spurious evidence for the pyramids being tombs and the almost nonexistent evidence for the great pyramid being built by Khufu.
I was talking to someone at work who had visited these sights and this person literally would not hear the possibility that her conventional view of the pyramids could be challenged. Its interesting how it often seems to be the case that once people learn a "fact` their intellectual curiosity is forever disengaged.
It challenges their world view. Can't have that,
@@YouTooBig2 Personally, I welcome such a challenge but I think I may be a part of a very small minority.
yes ,i find that a lot, facts seem to stop people from thinking, it can be very frustrating trying to explain anything to these people, as they dont listen and keep interupting you with hearsay.
And the wholesale blind acceptance of authority. , self proclaimed authority . Anyone can rope off a site carve a plaque declaring whatever version of reality needed to have people believe and you have an AUTHORITY .
"human things" or "human reasons" look at the state of politics in the US. if you're view doesn't line up with someone else's you'r full of fake news or have an agenda. the idea of both sides having valid points is poppy cock. probably the why the Egyptians defaced their own artifacts and why society has had to re start multiple times j/k :-P th-cam.com/video/geLiEiAiQJA/w-d-xo.html video with the phrase "human reasons"
Academia tells us that the pyramids were made with primitive copper tools. 😂 And they wonder why people think aliens built them.
Interviewer: But, have you read their books?
Zahi Hawass: Well... No. I’m a scientist!
I always love my “scientists” that won’t read or even consider differing viewpoints. They’re always the most reliable ones
*Shame on you*
because they have no shop. lol
They want fame? They want money?
Wasn’t he the one who went to jail for running shady money scams out of his gift shop before you enter the Sphinx complex?
Doesn’t Zahi have an exclusive contract with National Geographic to grant the rights for them to shoot in Egypt, that I’m pretty sure also has a generous yearly salary attached to it?
What a joke.

@@Budsport_TV The easiest way to tell a psychopath (like Hawass or Trump) is the boisterousness and bragging of their speech; they always want to outtalk everyone else, it's how they gaslight you.
@@davidleomorley889 That is a totally bogus characterization. Those who learn the truth about ancient objects and structures do NOT think they "understand" ancient Egypt. They understand that the establishmentarians like yourself DO NOT understand ancient anything that was beyond human technology of the times.
I would like to add something that has always bothered me is that theres absolutely zero drawings or monuments or anything about the pyramids being built. we have beer recipes, all kinds of stuff from everyday life ,love poems ect from that time period and the Pharos love to brag about their triumphs but not a word about something so monumental ?You would think the pyramids would be pictured in every crypt in the valley of the kings EDIT i think to most of us something just dosent add up another thing is lack of any writing inside the pyramids at all ,to me its almost as if they were taboo to ancient Egyptians or ignored on purpose
Great point! 👍
I don't know. A good beer recipe is hard to beat. Hahaha
@@Pimpdaddyleif - Ahhaa! Mystery solved.. it's a micro-brewrey😎
ummmm pyramid texts date back to the old kingdom. They are contained in NUMEROUS old kingdom rooms where the sarcophagus was housed. Since the writings are for the deceased alone, there is no need to put any markings or writings outside of these rooms.
@@Ddub1083 The pyramid texts are supposedly old Kingdom, but could have easily been added when that room was found during that time. And what they were trying to say is there is zero mention of the greatest structures ever built. You'd think if that was Khufus burial room in the great pyramid it would be written all over the walls what he did and how he did it. Just like you said, it's all over all the other burial chambers.
This guy knows how to hold an audience. I like how we doesn't try and push his beliefs to fit his evidence. A lot of the stuff he points out is very compelling. Thank you for keeping my mind busy, friend...
Whenever I hear that they didn't have the wheel I find it almost impossible to believe. Once you witness that any circular object rolls along, be it a pot or a log, the concept of a wheel must easily follow. Your videos are well produced and always interesting. Thanks.
Yeah.. they had to have had a vast understanding to build the pyramids, yet couldn't figure out the wheel? That's actually unbelievable
Couldn't figure it out or didn't feel the need of it?
Hard to believe they didn't figure it out🤷
Except they had chariots so
They made magic wands that made precision stone cuts and made 100 ton stones float mid air 100s of miles but couldn't figure out the wheel, how odd. By the way, I'm selling off parts of my collection of bridges.....
They did have the wheel and whoever said they didn't is a moron.
Lots of BS in Our history. Excellent look at the evidence.

@@AVoidDances I am watching that too
I’ve been watching hundreds of videos on the great pyramid and Giza over the last couple of years and this is the first time I’ve come across this information about what’s under the step pyramid. My mind is blown!
Exactly! Who knew that...
It has been a while since I watched this video. It's even better the second time around. Good work Ben. I'm sure it took a while to put that one together. 5 stars
Your channel is quickly becoming one of the best sources of information on the net. Claims backed by evidence, superbly narrated and flawlessly explained. You are doing fantastic work, a hero of humanity.
You took the words out of my mouth.
Indeed, these same thoughts I vocalize and they literally pulsate through my mind as I view them.
My 5 year old daughter is taking a loving to your work far quicker than I could have imagined, I could not be more thrilled.
David Leo Morley sweet essay ding dong. I’m a trained credentialed history academic, and these Egypt theories have equal footing with the highly questionable textbook theory, there is scant evidence for any of it . So your certainty borders on cult mentality as well. Never “believe” in things . Craft hypotheses based on the scant evidence we have . It’s amazing how ideological skeptics don’t realize they are in a belief system just like the ones they crap on
David Leo Morley wow you’re pretty long winded for someone who literally offers no evidence for your pov . Your pathetic cultural elitism is the problem with western society. I don’t think you even watched the video. THERE IS A LARGE MARGIN OF ERROR
We are closer to cleopatra than she was to the old kingdom
David Leo Morley As Victor says. I highly doubt you have actually watched this or any of the video's from Uncharted.
And i completely understand why you would have skipped watching it and gone straight for the comments.

I feel one of the biggest problems often overlooked is the sheer number of people and resources you would need to build these structures. Not so much in regard to general laborers, but the support staff. People preparing food, raising livestock, farming, dealing with logistics, just the management of an entire army of people and trying to keep everything flowing smoothly would be a monumental task.
Then consider that Egypt was surrounded by enemies, but rather than using their spare manpower to further build up their military, they just pounded rocks together......when looking at the overall picture, the official narrative makes no sense at all.
Which they literally have dug up. Cities built to sustain their building projects, if you look at history you would understand food preparation wasn't a thing. They didn't have a fully stocked Walmart. Instead of eating they would actually make chunky beer. It would act as food and water because the water alone had disease.

And thank you for not putting pounding drums and muzak over it.
Great video. Could you consider doing a video of all the ancient texts and stories that refer to times before dynastic egypt? I think people would like to know what the Egyptians believed their history was.
As an Archeoastronomer I have spent the greater portion of my career studying the Pleistocene / Holocene Boundary as it relates to the Quaternary Extinction. By using archaeology, astronomy, observational mathematics, and physics to show how, not just the Egyptian effort, but everything from Göbekli Tepe to Poverty Point Louisiana are connected by unique and measurable attributes. These mathematically measurable attributes first appear around 40,000 years ago and then oddly disappear about 3,900 years ago. To show proof of my mathematical and physics calculations I then looked into the geoscience records. Some interesting stuff, if you're interested. Please, no conspiracy theories. Dr. Tucker
Interesting
You should team up and do a documentary ! Very interesting 🧐
Sounds like you have a conspiracy theory of your own going on.
This comment is of high importance. By using the afore mentioned skills (archaeology, mathematics, physics, astronomy, and I might add laboratory and experimentation, instrumentation and technics), all in a coherent and complementary training, the archaeologists thus formed would give lots of discoveries to humanity.
Haha you call yourself Dr Tucker...

Nor are they allowed to go out of curriculum and tell the truth
It is crazy to think that we absolutely 100% know the story we are given on the Egyptians is not true but we are still teaching our kids that story...we teaching guaranteed false information.

And at Balbek. Notice the scratches on the ceiling at 29;00. Same as at many other Mega-sites. It seems that a lot of the same construction techniques are universal throughout the world with each different civilization incorporating them while adding their own particular'style' to the structures.
Also in India. I highly recommend Praveen Mohan, who has many videos of temples I've never seen before his videos, if you're interested in ancient archeology and the theories of advanced civilizations, before our own.

Randall Tufts “The tourist board” lol
Unfortunately that’s basically what it is. Professional Egyptologists cannot allow amateurs to come up with theories that conflict with their own “truth”. Unfortunately this happens in all the sciences where orthodoxy reigns supreme and people with new ideas are often rejected for decades or even centuries before their ideas are finally recognized (assuming they ever are, and assuming they’re true to begin with).
Someday, I imagine orthodox will tell us that _real_ Egyptian history goes back tens of thousands of years, as does the history of civilization itself. Given that we can see, at a micro level, certain innovations like indoor plumbing and municipal sewer systems pop up throughout history in relative short time periods, and given how long humans have supposedly been here on earth as we are now (current estimates are around 300,000 - 400,000 years now), I find it very hard to believe that after all that time, we didn’t “civilize” until 5,000 years ago.
If what Ben says is true and there was a civilization before the Old Kingdom, it sounds like they had tens of thousands of years to develop. Which, if true, means they must have had technology far surpassing ours today.
And I’d bet they’d had other “dark ages” and do-overs as we have had, likely going back hundreds of thousands of years. So who knows how many times this may have happened!

A compelling and well presented feature, Ben. I have visited all these sites. Every time I have visited these monumental works, I have been breath-taken.

Also, Zahi Hawass is a conceited charlatan. Thank you, Ben, for another amazing revelation.
You don't have to look so close to realize that the timeline that we're sold is bunk. The real question is why--what is there to gain from the great lie.
They burned people who didn't believe the earth was the center of the solar system or the universe.
It's about controlling the narrative. We've been made to believe a lot of things. If one 'truth' were to suddenly collapse everything would start being questioned. The powers that be always want to hold on to the established 'truths' (up to eradicating heretics) and if this becomes impossible they want the change to be as gradual as possible. A slow process spanning generations so it won't trigger an awakening.
Morgan Seppy If something can't be reconciled or adequately explained, better to just leave it alone. You'd do the same, if your career delended on it. Otherwise you're stuck as a wackjob being interviewed on the "history" channel.
It can't just be to uphold ancient religions, can it? Seems petty
Its controlled so historians can teach class without half the class being able to say. Thats not True!
What is there to gain? Perpetuation of the myth that our 'modern' civilization is superior and unique. With the myth comes power to suppress.

Can't say I agree with your 'no ancient alien bullshit' statement - other species on the planet regard us as the aliens due to our genetic reprogramming.
The calculation that shows they only had 5 minutes for cutting, moving and placing each block just does not make sense. It assumes that the entire empire had to be working on only one block at a time. That they had to cut, move and place one block before they could start the next. And that is of course not the case.
It would be more correct to say that one block had to be set in place every 5 minutes. But once the first is placed, one can assume that the next one was already cut, moved, and ready.
I'm not saying this explains anything. Just that the numbers (the 5 minutes) are completely arbitrary.
To be fair, even just setting one block every few minutes is impressive. But you're totally right that they probably pipelined the process.
you aint setting 1 block in 1hr let alone 5 mins its just impossible just due to the sheer manpower needed to move 1 block the next block would be at least 50mtrs behind the first you couldn't even get the next block even close to the first in 5mins let alone set it. u couldn't even set a modern fence panel in five minutes let alone a 3 tonne block totally impossible

On time: as Justin pointed out, it's about throughput, not how long you need per stone. You could take many hours per block if you have enough teams working concurrently.
On space ("you couldnt fit enough people and ropes on and around each block)": How did you conclude that? The romans routinely erected pillars and obelisks of a few tonnes. They even documented exactly how they did it. Do you doubt that happened? Heck, there's TH-cam videos of that guy who erected a Stonehenge pillar in his backyard by himself... moving 2 tonne blocks really isn't the mistery here.

I don’t honestly know. But, my theory is they are remanence of the quarrying techniques.
While ancient Egyptian pyramid construction is impressive in scale, scope, and precision (for the time period) the engineering and design involved in their construction are quite rudimentary and largely inefficient.
I would argue that any culture or society that is capable of designing the type of complex tools and machines that are being indicated here would also be advanced enough to know that one can replace a 800 ton granite stone block with several rounded arches using much less & much lighter material allowing for the same weight distribution, and more space inside the structure. I would also assume they would be able to figure out buttressing among many other engineering features that were considered standard 2,000 years ago and either basic or outdated today. And yet, there is none of this in ancient Egypt.
Also, the fact that there have been very few tool artifacts discovered in the area actually lends more to the Egyptologists argument that rudimentary tools were used as surely complex tools and machines would last far longer and be far more obvious; and no, these tools would not have been wiped out by some global cataclysm if the structures they built were not wiped out as well. They would also likely be almost impossible to repurpose considering the type of material they would have to be made out of combined with the complexity of their design. There should be thousands of these tools lying around in vicinity, and there are none.
Also, the statement “we can’t even do this today” is always BS when referring to ancient designs. We could replicate them all if we wanted to. We just choose not to, because frankly, it would be a complete waste of resources, man power, and time. But, if you want to see a pyramid of a slightly smaller size, with a much more advanced and cooler design than the great pyramid, I suggest checking in to the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. We designed that for entertainment... We design giant pyramids for fun now.
@Antonio Garcia *you’re
I don't believe anyone has a clue as to who constructed the pyramids. The sooner we can admit that the sooner we can get to finding the truth. Excellent work!
“It’s merely an interpretation of the evidence as I see it” This is such a great disclaimer that more scientists and historians need to use before publishing information as facts in our grade school textbooks.

Sir, you are absolutely right. The existing history that we learn has no logic what so ever, when we try to equate it with reality from their creation point of view. We should look at it based on today's science. Exactly same conclusion is being arrived at by Mr Praveen Mohan, investigating into many archeological remains in South & South east Asia when we consider Anchor vat, Ellora temple & many others etc. There was definitely an advanced civilization before this last ice age. Thank you for throwing light on this very important aspect of human history.

20 years to build the great pyramid is beyond absurd. End of story.
The only thing more absurd that I can think of is Zahi Hawass being a scientist.
Shouldn’t you be watching CNN?
Right, BBC then. I don’t see what the big fuss is with asking questions, no one can explain how they were made. The egyptologists are the ones who are positive it was done in a short period of time without machines/mechanisms we don’t understand (by machine I mean moving parts), and prove this with a circular argument (other copper age people must have moved huge stones on a massive scale using nothing but ropes and logs, as well as very precisely fitting them - therefore we know the Egyptians could do it).
It’s not a fallacy to critique an assertion. Plenty of people assert some anti-gravity device was used - without evidence. This can be dismissed (unless evidence is eventually found). Similarly, without evidence, Egyptologists tell us all the stonework was done with abrasives, bow drills and copper chisels. They can’t duplicate the work, they merely assume it had to be done without machines. We have proof that they had lathes and did very refined work on them, work that the first generation of lathe turners would not have done (we can assume this using the Egyptologists own criterion - historical precedence, or the lack thereof).
www.woodworkersinstitute.com/wood-turning/features/feature-mondays-a-truly-ancient-craft/
I say lathe, assuming people know it predates electricity by hundreds of years. The famous stone vases are clear evidence of turning. You would think up the idea of a lathe before you got good enough to make those freehand. Is it absurd to think the Egyptians had water power? Or wheels and pulleys leveraging human power or animals?
The scrolls don’t answer any questions about erecting the pyramids (how to get the giant stones to the top?), moving the largest stones, doing the precise dressing and polishing of very hard (very large) stones.
There’s all sorts of other anomalies you must know about if you’ve watched a few of Ben’s videos. Drill holes and overcuts with a saw (which involves no one noticing for hours that they’ve already completed the cutting). Hieroglyphics that look like they’ve been added later, because the object was done very professionally, yet the relatively easy task of a bit of line carving is amateurish.
What does the thirty year reign tell me? Well for starters, that the academics have some serious explaining to do, since the math doesn’t add up :) Maybe the people who get paid to write papers aren’t experts in ancient technology after all, who would have thought.

When found It had lost its head but Petrie knew who he was, thanks the written name on. He promised a remarkable present to whoever could find the head and the boys, after a lot of days of hard work, did indeed find it. B) You cannot possibly say that Huni fathered Sneferu, because if this was the case, the third dynasty kept going on", and there was no need for a "repeat of births", passing to the fourth. Het is the same situation of Netjeriket, son of Kashekemuy: if that was the case, Djoser belonged still to the second. But Huni is much more complicated because we don't know if he ever existed!

To think about how far and fast we came into so much technology in the last 120 years they had thousands of years to design and build pyramids underground tunnels etc.imagine what people will think in a thousand years from now wondering how the hell did they build cpus if everything gets wiped out
About a thousand years ago, In a remarkably short period of around 200 years hundreds of giant buildings appeared all over Europe called Cathedrals and they are still there - as far as I know there are no drawings of them anywhere. A lot more complex than pyramids but nobody ever questions how the illiterate, innumerate workforces managed it or suggests that they were built by spacemen....the people who built them had basically the same tools as the Ancient Egyptians but we just accept that it's what they did. A thousand years before this the Romans were knocking up enormous buildings like the Colosseum, bridges, huge aqueducts that marched unerringly over hill and vale for vast distance while holding unbelievably tight tolerances, like a one metre fall over 35 kilometres...also the Pantheon which has the largest concrete roof dome of any building - even yet, but no mystery there either. A thousand years before this, the Greeks were knocking up great structures which are still there, as well as most of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but do we hear about "mysteries" or Spacemen? no we just accept that it's what they did - as we should do with the Egyptians..
That's very well said. It would be informative perhaps to investigate whatever records can be found of the construction of stone building from that era which have blocks at all near the pyramid blocks. Possibly can't be found, but maybe. I'm thinking of the super large granite blocks inside. Anything like that elsewhere with records of how it was manipulated?
And we should have a great light shone on the chronology very soon, I think. For I've heard, read text, where they say they can now test stone to see when it was last exposed to light. Maybe it has to a particular kind of stone. Maybe there's only certain time periods it can handle. I don't know. But that's exactly the kind of measurement we need of the pyramid stones, isn't it?
@@abrogard142 Moving big blocks of granite down from Aswan may not have been as difficult for them as we imagine - they had loads of practice and plenty of time...those 100 ton blocks in the Great Pyramid are dwarfed by the 1100 ton obelisk still in situ in the quarry, abandoned when it cracked...the quarry is close to the Nile and launching downhill is relatively easy (I've been to many ship launches and it only takes a slight angle and a bit of grease to get 50,000 tons into the water) before putting it in the river they would build and attach a "boat" to the top of it or more likely a large raft. This is an ancient way of moving heavy stuff - it's more stable and because the load is submerged it's lighter, in the case of granite by around a third. It's known that the Nile at that time ran close by Giza and also that there were canals running right up to the pyramid complex, so the hard bit would only be for a short distance.
@@robnorth7638 You seem to have a good sense of how it all might be done. Any comments on moving those super heavy blocks uphill and mounting them on top of things?
I can see they've been doing it all over the world for quite some time but I only have a hazy idea of the weights/sizes involved in different places (lintel blocks in stonehenge?) and the time periods when they were put up.
@@abrogard142 Elevating really heavy objects was done by pulling them up an inclined plane as we still do today. In Egypt the remains of a mud brick ramp can be seen at the temple of Karnak, used for constructing or repairing the massive walls and never fully removed. Lifting devices, or "cranes" of one sort or another go way back as far as the windlass atop wells which was upgraded by adding a large treadmill enabling several tons to be raised. Some originals are still in the top of Cathedrals from when they were built a thousand years ago. Engineering is not a modern thing - all the important principles along with maths and geometry were established thousands of years ago by "giants" on whose shoulders we stand.....the fact that we can exchange our very thoughts over distance via universal pictures (writing) is the truly amazing thing that came from ancient Sumeria and Egypt, not just that they had the smarts to move rocks about...
Nb. The Iintels at Stonehenge are between 2 and 3 tons, erecting them probably with A frames, would have been kids stuff after bringing them from Wales...
@@robnorth7638 I can believe it. I do believe it - the basic idea: the ancients were master engineers. Just don't have the ability myself to work out how they'd do things and would like to see it. Get the full story. Even of something as mundane as, say, walking the easter island idols - or perhaps the sheer mundanity of chipping out a 150 ton block - how many people did it take, how many work hours, what tools and techniques?
It all interests me quite apart from the 'burning questions' of 'how is that even possible'.
On the 'how is that possible' I've never forgotten reading a text by a civil engineer one time who described how he would construct the pyramids simply by making some kind of cradle, if I remember right, that lifted a block up one course. Always wished I could find that and the author again but never did.
I've watched hours and hours of video now on megalithic structures and I'm always impressed by how they don't look for answers. Hours of pictures of walls never once showing the back of the wall or details of filling or joints. No investigation of quarries and fragments found there or not. No searching for signs of wear from ropes or sliding stones. Never any mention of queries with old builders locally... traditional methods... even perhaps a direct approach - could you build this for me now?
It's all good. :)
p.s. just had a thought. There's some drawings of Christopher Wren's work on St Paul's I think. Is there really no other of any of the major works? Not even including castles?
We simply do not know when the Great Pyramid was first opened, it could have been a few hundred or a few thousands of years after its construction, perhaps it was opened by Khufu’s hand. If it was opened in Khufu’s time it would explain how and when the red paint was daubed, it would explain the crudely cut tunnel leading from near the Kings tomb to the weight bearing roof of the chamber.
The bronze hook and its broken wooden handle may well have been introduced at that time, those who built the structure would not need to explore the 30cm shafts that lead from the inner chambers and where the hook and its handle were recently found.
The Great pyramid could have been built thousands of years before Khufu or the Old Kingdom. We simply do not knowamd that is so frustrating….
There is a mystery that speaks to the origin of mankind...
Great work mate. For most of us who've never seen these accomplishments up close and in the environment they were created in, we just can't appreciate what were seeing. Keep up the excellent work Ben.
Thanks for putting together that timeline. It really paints a clearer picture of what the "official" story is. The calculations of how much time per block was stunning. 5.7s on average per block is ridiculous. Seems like the pyramids would have taken thousands of years, not a few decades.
Just to get them quarried and make them perfectly square, it just twists ones mind into a pretzel
You are the future of this movement, Ben. Great to see your work gaining recognition.
Indeed, let us be cautious in fact-finding and checking and separating fact from fantasy fiction.
Thank you dearly - Thank you. You have brought such a gift in your tenacity. Really enjoy your flavor of communication👍👀🌠
Also the highthened search for knowledge on truth.
Mucho Gracias mi amigo🌌
Thank God there was no mention of aliens. I think that is ridiculous!
I've watched a couple dozen of UnchartedX videos and he hasn't once mentioned aliens as a possibility because he hasn't found proof of aliens. He's sticking to facts and his eyes are open. Peace/JT
wow I use to skip over the pyramid of saqqarah because the only pics I ever saw was the outside step pyramid, I never knew about the underground portion
I know right? There is a LOT going on underground at Saqqara.
@@UnchartedX I think there's more going on underground than above ground. Makes you wonder why all the underground construction. Not just in Egypt, but all over the world.
@@UnchartedX do you think this underground work could end up connecting to the famous Serapeum at Saqqarah also?
@@Pimpdaddyleif - they went all 'dig it all' before we went 'digital'...
@@iandalziel7405 Haha. Nice.
The Romans had mass production grain mills powered by water wheels, I believe in southern France(?), that archaeologists said “couldn’t exist” until they were found.
That was around 2000 years old and we could barely find the remains. 4000-6000 years old structures after multiple wars and repeated looting would leave little behind except things that can’t be stolen, decay, rot or burn.
Construction is really a matter of logistics. If you have ten men and you need to carve, move and build a single block in a minute, then you have a problem.
If you have 10,000 men then its a matter of scaling the work.
2,000,000 blocks in the pyramid divided by 20 years is 100,000 blocks a year. If you have 10,000 men working then that is essentially the equivalent of ten finished and set blocks per man per year. If a man works 10 hours a day, for, say a third of the year, so 4 months, that's 1,200 man hrs.
10,000 men x 1,200 man hrs each is 12 million man hours per year. And that's only if they're working 1/3 of the year.
12 million man hours x 20 years = 240 million man hours.
Let's say they rota the work and work all year, so that 10,000 men work for 4 months, then go back home and another 10,000 come in etc.
So at any given time there's 10,000 men, working 10hrs a day, 365 days a year.
So for 1/3 of the year we had 12 million man hours of work per 10,000 men.
Now we'd have 36 million man hours of work per 10,000 men per year.
Over the course of a 20 year construction period that's 720 million man hours of work per 10,000 men.
And this is with a very conservative 10,000 workers involved at any given time.
The great thing about the shape of the Pyramid is that the vast majority of it's mass is at the bottom, where it's easiest to reach.
The Great Pyramid is estimated to have originally been 146meters high. Over a half (52%) of the TOTAL volume of the pyramid is within the first 30 meters of its height. So roughly 1,000,000 bricks are used within the first 30 meters of its height. At 50 meters in height 82% of the total blocks have been laid. 50 meters is roughly 1/3 of it's total height. So 82% of the total volume exists in the bottom 1/3 of the height.
The higher you go, the more difficult the work is, the lower you are, the easier the work is. Especially in regards to moving and setting. When you look at it that way, the scale of the work seems a lot less daunting.
The Pyramid has a wide base, meaning you can physically have a lot of work going on in a lot of space at once when you're starting at the bottom.
If they spent a year doing nothing but dressing stones to have a base supply of resources to add to then just imagine how many stones 10,000 men will be able to set in the space of 1 year which we've already worked out at a 12 million man hours if they're working only 10 hours a day, for 1/3 of the year.
They've only got to get 30 meters up and they've already laid over 50% of the total blocks needed.
All a matter of logistics.
Finally some rationality 😁👍🏻
37:15 😂😂😂Yehokaymate
Exactly what i said whenever i read whatsoever history given by Egyptian authorities
2:20 Technically we did go from peak technology to nothing, as recently noted in the NASA Apollo program. *We are meant to believe that man went to the Moon and now does not have that technology anymore.*
@Christopher Perry Because there isn't much on the moon to go look at. Unless you just want to keep wasting money to go back there and say "Yep. We did it. Again." With Mars there is a lot more to explore and discover like water and possibly ancient life. I don't mean martians but simple forms of life. Also there's a chance we could make Mars inhabitable.
Name something we could discover about the moon that we don't already know or how you think going back there could benefit us. The only reason we did it was to swing our cock and balls around at the Russians.
@Christopher Perry Also, China has been exploring the dark side of the moon so...we are still exploring the moon. I still think it's useless.
One theory....NASA used alien technology to get through the Van Allen Belt, but then suddently were not allowed to use that technology anymore.
Your channel has just blown me away and I am totally in aww of what this lost civilisation achieved and I will forever wonder about what they were really like. Love all your content, keep up the brilliant work!
Always a treat to get a notification from this channel! Looking forward to watching this :)
In light of your intro, a reset due to some catastrophe makes a lot of sense. We could be reset very easily by a micronova or even a cme. Dependent as we are on the fragile radio connectivity or "internet of things".
As usual, an excellent presentation. Being a builder myself I must certainly understand the sheer magnitude of the work involved, to all be built in that short time period is not improbable it is quite simply impossible. One only has to consider the medieval cathedral builders with far more advanced tools and technology, some of which took generations to complete.
I just watched the patreon sneak peak. Such a great perk. Can’t wait to get stuck in to full documentary. Looks amazing as always 👍
The Great Pyramid was renovated 4500YRS ago. Just because you change a roof on a house doesn't mean you're the Architect of said building. Nice video and work Bro I have been checking out videos you have done. I like the way you have all angles and proposed ideas. 👍
Yes. This is an excellent channel. Its unfortunate however that like most, ben seems to not be aware of the changes our solar system went thru. Specifically, the fall of Saturn.
Ben is aware of the theory. Ben doesn't agree with it :). Trust me I have lots and lots of people telling me about velikovsky, thunderbolts projects, suspicious observers etc. I am still scientifically minded, and I hope the discussion will continue, it all healthy. In my opinion the vast weight of evidence supports cosmic impacts. You don't get extra-terrestrial Platinum or Iridium into the strata layers any other way. New extraordinary models of astrophysics and orbital mechanics require similarly extraordinary levels of proof.
@@UnchartedX 🤔 Right on Ben...🤘
UnchartedX
Ben, you want proof? Image search ‘god self icon’ and attempt to explain to me what this is? I have explained it perfectly with the thunderbolts project model on my channel. Also thanks for your work. Excellent content you have.
@@marcmyers1465 Have you been to the Great Pyramid?
lol yeah. i want to hear them explain the mud lids.
Always look forward to your new releases. Great video
There are a number of questions that I would like to ask Sabah Abdel Razek:
1) Where is the infrastructure (roads etc.) built, one presumes, and utilised by the Old Kingdom pyramid builders?
2) If we assume that the pyramids were entirely built by slaves, how many thousands would it have taken, where did they come from (they certainly weren't the Israelites), and how were they fed?
3) How could the pharaoh of the day afford to have these structures built when even despite using slave labour the cost must have been enormous?
4) If it is true, as indeed it is, that the ancient Egyptians loved to adorn their monuments with tales and chronicles of their and particularly of their pharaohs wars, conquests, achievements, etc., where are the hieroglyphic representations of the building of the pyramids, arguably their greatest ever achievement?
It's interesting to imagine the possibility that the early dynastic Egyptians may have stumbled across the stone boxes within these structures, empty, believed them to be sarcophagi and derived an understanding that, under the right conditions, a person's remains might leave the Earth and go to the afterlife. The fact that the rooms were also empty, unlike their own burial customs, may have led them to believe that the person's prized possessions were also able to be taken with them into the afterlife.
Herodotus said, that the planning alone for the Great Pyramid needed 10 years!! And that it was tougher than actually building the pyramid.
Logic would say that the plan for each pyramid must have been put in writing.
Hard to believe that one guy had the entire plan in his head, and he spent years directing every aspect of the construction based on pure memory.
Given the amount of time that has passed, it is very likely these "written plans" have turned to dust, but maybe one day scrolls will be unearthed that have the actual construction plans on it.
Until then .........
@@Saugaverse exactly this! why are there no writings or why doesnt anybody know today or even just a few years after the building the pyramids know how anything about the place was made. like it was just wiped off and forgotten within years, humanity went braindead in an instant. that doesnt make any sense
@@phillywister9957 Keep in mind that the Romans destroyed a great deal of Egyptian things when they invaded, such as the burning of the Library in Alexandria.
Maybe all the plans for the pyramids were stored there?
But you are correct, there are many things that don't make total sense.
@@Saugaverse i doubt the library was full when the Romans burned it, more likely the contents of the library were moved to Rome or Constantinople and are now in the Vatican, highly doubt that Romans would of burned the entire knowledge of the Egyptians just out of spite, more likely they took every scroll, text, cypher what have you, and moved it to Rome, im willing to bet money on the Vatican having the entire library of Alexandria in its possession.
@@doomed2die595 I am not an expert on this topic, but ..............
The Romans sacked the city during the reign of Cleopatra, which was in the years B.C.
That would be before Christianity even existed.
This all happened long before there was ever a Vatican.
I'm just impressed as hell about the zoom capability you have on your camera. 11:42 Are you using a telescope?

Archeologists: Where the FUCK is this woman's tomb!?
I am a retired manufacturing engineer and the item at 15:25 is a water pump impeller. Very similar ones are used in pumps to this day. I know this very well as this it the part that always breaks and you have to replace them. It turns on a shaft and the fins push the water out from the center and through the holes in the disk.
Can you provide a picture?
That sounds plausible. However, the ancient one is fashioned from stone. How?
Yeah except for the fact that there is no feathered blade to move the water in any direction and that the lip also doesn't help if in fact it was an impeller propeller or any eller
@@claycollins8973 No, when you take a pump apart in a modern manufacturing facility there is no feathered blade. The impeller looks exactly like that. It creates pressure in one direction and a one way valve prevents the fluid from backflushing.
Interesting seeing those casing stones at Menakaure, anyone else think those lumps at the bottom look similar to those in Sacsayhuaman?
I would like to mention the case of the two German guys (engineer Dominique Görlitz and author Stefan Erdmann) mentioned at 26:30: Zahi Hawass et al. were charging them at Egyptian and German courts afterwards Hawass even accused them of working for Robert Bauval and gave a pretty antisemitic line of argument with that. However, it turned out that the proof Hawass gave (chisel marks that allegedly destroyed the "Khufu cartouche") were already there years before. So, everyone involved, including the locals helping the two Germans, were acquitted. Their samples, however, were returned to Egypt in 2014 and the whole affair completely ignored by all authorities.
This might be my favourite video yet. Great idea to put the timeline into perspective.
29:45 When you're calculating the amount of time it took to build the Great Pyramid, you're assuming the stones were quarried/built/moved in series, one after the other. Of course they would have been working on tens if not hundreds or even thousands of blocks in parallel, spread across a large workforce.
I'm only just getting into ancient civilizations, and I agree there's much more to the story and our history goes much further back than conventional belief. Just thought I'd point that out though, as I don't think that's a very accurate measure of the time needed.
JahJahDisciple
That was a rather dumb mistake to make. It makes me wonder if I should believe anything he says at all.
Even if you shape them at a reasonable pace, you can only set them one at a time for each crew.
With the height and weight involved it would take at least one or more days per stone. Even on the low levels.
To place a large stone you have to strap it, hoist it, shim it while you remove the straps, then lift it again to remove the shims.
It's not like laying a small brick.
I've layed stone for 43 years, trust me it's very tedious slow work setting stone of any size.
@@markbates3180 exactly i work with stone too these people have no idea just how impossible the time scale for this project is grossly underestimated even with modern plant machinery
@@ABCBUGGYNZ I didn't say one stone at a time. I said one stone at a time per crew.
Their could have been many dozens of crews.
The idea that civilization peaks and then slowly declines is not only likely, it is being proven out in the modern day. In spite of the fact that globalization has made the gathering of minds and resources so much easier and more efficient, we seem to be on a steady decline of welfare, technological progress, and geopolitics. Population growth is slowing down, energy production can't keep up, infrastructure both new and old is crumbling. A lot of our luxuries depend on resources that are becoming harder to extract and some methods of extraction are increasingly harmful to the environment. Advancements and investment in sciences are becoming more privitized as their owners seek to buy up and control more and more markets while governments cut more and more budgets. The science and academia that does get performed is discovered to be more and more fraudulent every year.
(Im sure other comments can add so many more to the list)
Im not saying we are on track to revert back to the stone age, but for far too long, people have been looking at the charts with a line going up and to the right and then assuming that line will go on forever, only for it to inevitably take a nose dive. All empires end and some endings are far more catastrophic than others, and with how interconnected our modern world is, the modern day collapse will be particularly painful. Some would argue that it already is painful.
The unfortunate reality is that trying to gauge where we stand in history is difficult to impossible while you are actively experiencing it. We can't predict the future as a certainty but we can make educated guesses, and what information we have to look back at doesn't paint a rosey picture. Time is the great eraser and one can only wonder at what our descendents will think of us once we are long gone, and the evidence of our modern day have decayed and become long buried.
So if our modern age is so tenuous in spite of our advancement, who is to say what it once was so long ago?
Absolutely brilliant video. One of the best I have seen in a very, very long time on you tube. Stunning footage also from inside all the pyramids. Awesome work Ben!! 😊👍
The facts are that the equipment and tools and overall knowledge of these type of structures are missing is a indicator that the age is indeed quit old,yes given time everything passes away but rock and such takes longer, !!-!!
This is true, if we were wiped out tomorrow in 10,000 years plus there would be nothing left of our technology. No phones, TV's planes etc etc...
In fact there would be nothing left of us at all. Out buildings would crumble to dust.
The fact is our ancient ancestors were clearly far far more advanced than we are now in that they knew the legacy would survive in rock.
