If you liked the video, please give it a thumbs up, hit that subscribe button, and do consider supporting UnchartedX via the value-for-value model at unchartedx.com/support ! 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
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
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.
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.
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"
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!
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*
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.
No Problem Agypt was a Bulshit Civ why should i go there i go to greek or turkey they are great civs why should i go to agypt ? pfft they only got copper tools .....
@@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.
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.
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. There is an absolute plethora of over hyped, badly researched, (95% often not researched at all) video's being banded around. And as you say its not done with the best intentions. Its done to sell books and earn TH-cam revenue's. Those who enjoy a spoonful of conspiracy theory before bed, could even point to the flooding of information outlets with this terrible "journalism" to be the work of those who have their own agenda's for this information to get swallowed up, mocked and put skeptics into the mindset you have as detailed above? However there is zero evidence for this and i live my life by seeing facts and evidence before i blindly go believing in talking snakes and a guy that builds a boat for 5,000,000 species of animals. It's a terrible shame that this practice goes on, as its doing a massive disservice to mankind. Because there really is incredible evidence and alongside things that simply cannot be answered. And this is where video makers such as UnchartedX really shine through, Because his video's are really meticulously researched to the absolute best of his ability. AND this includes actually visiting these ancient sites. That in itself puts him above 99% of people of video makers on this site who simply copy from the last video they watched in order to make money. When it comes to EXTREMELY rare video's of this quality that actually provide a lot of very clear evidence and where evidence may not be available he simply asks the viewer what they make of it. And as per his disclaimer at the end, none of it is 100% proof of anything, but then neither is mainstream sciences view on this subject either. But Rather than, as you correctly stated, the majority who say "well if you don't believe me then you are "brainwashed" "you only believe in mainstream crap" etc etc......... Those that push people to follow their beliefs in this manner are no different from someone trying to push religion down people's throats. Where as this incredibly intelligent person, who has put blood sweat tears, money and countless hours in time into simply providing an alternative viewpoint on mainstream academia, really deserves the respect of having an intelligent person (as you clearly are) sitting down watching it thoroughly and taking in some of the astonishing facts presented therein. Because a lot of it is truly mind-blowing.
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!
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...."
@@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."
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.
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?
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.
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.
@@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
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
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.
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"
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.
Absolutely a quality documentary that gives clear evidence and insight that a lot more was a hand than most egyptologists tell. I am a geologist myself and the machinery marks shown are so compelling that they simply cannot be neglected. Very well done!
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!
I must admit, this is the best hystorical channel about megaliths in all youtube. I follow Brien Foerster, Bright inside and this is my number 1 pick for science. In my opinion this dude just kills mainstream archeology ..I am so happy I found this channel, excellent work..Good questions and points.. super! UnchartedX ,please keep making these videos, they are mind opening!
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.
@@impudentdomain says the person who can't fathom the simple task of building the pyramids. Just because they drank chunky beer as a food doesn't mean that's all they ate all day long for their whole existence. I understand nothing, says the person who can't even fathom how you move some big rocks. Literally basic human knowledge will do it. Then again my me, my dad raised 70k pigs per year. Two people, sometimes have a couple more to help when you load them up. We're on the chart would you rank that on possible? I understand nothing?
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.
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!
I find your videos extremely well made, well thought out, greatly narrated, and very informative. You should have a show on a major network... Great work
@@clazzo6231 Ball Sucking. Everywhere he goes he constantly brings up ball sucking, it's like all he ever talks about. Like I get it, some people suck lots of balls, but you don't have to brag about it
Man this i one of the best videos on this subject. It goes through the important evidence with logic and thoroughness. No ancient alien type bullshit, just pure rationality. Thanks!
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.
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
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.
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.....
Unfortunately for you he's right and so are many others who have no vested interest or ego involved in true history. Not Egyptology fairy tales based on zero evidence . They are nothing more than the tourist board LOL
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!
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
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.
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. The usual offered 'explanations' do not begin to match the sheer scale of the engineering. Our current 'civilization' is so conceited as to imagine that we alone, are 'just better. Also, Zahi Hawass is a conceited charlatan. Thank you, Ben, for another amazing revelation.
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
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.
I've been captivated by this fascinating study in history and archeology since stumbling onto one of your videos a week ago. It's changed my life. I want to know more. I've binge watched many of your videos, and others. This is so exciting. I love the truth.
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.
I loved that zoom in on the point of the pyramid, the individual blocks. I always find it fascinating with all buildings. Every piece had to have been place there or directed there by a person. Amazing
I'm not sure it was "A" person like you say or even many multiples of people who got all the 2.3 - 2.5 million blocks & firstly quarrying them all & carrying them from Aswan Quarry 500 miles away( by there timeline 4,500BC)over gigantic desert dunes to the Giza plato and with the MOST PRECISE PLACEMENT ever seen,masterful geometry being applied for the chambers,shafts,voids etc,all without a single piece of mortar,cement etc and still to this day it hasn't even sank much as our modern day building's do,I've no idea how to explain such a thing of beauty and then finding out when I was younger that it's 8 sided not 4,I couldn't believe it until I saw it in person in my 2nd visit in 2014,no matter how many times you go there it's STILL ASTOUNDING what's in front of you,I can't wait for my next trip which will include Saqqara and Abusir in 2023,my biggest wish is that the chambers and the numerous levels below the Sphynx would either be honestly filmed without editing or let REAL ARCHEOLOGISTS and Chris Dunn,or other honest people to let us ALL know the truth(as we suspect already)and get those Egyptians in power to put an end to their own EGO'S so the world can finally get to see our REAL HISTORY because all the information is contained under the Sphynx I'm certain of it,they have NO RIGHT to keep our very own history from us all as it doesn't belong to the Egyptians because it's in the country it's every human's right to know about it all !!
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$$!
@@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.

@@redwoodcoast Hi✌,be my guest; only please edit/check for my sometimes terrible dyslexic spelling/too quick writing 😉😀 I'm not on FB,but,wish your page all success. Are you following Matt on his 'Ancient Architects' channel,on this platform? These are my simply my own thoughts/experiences over a great many years of reading/travelling as a hobby - simply for my own pleasure/conjecture ;much of what I mention is a "joining the dots" between the words/work of others, so,if there is/are any particular point/s you're interested in, I'm very happy to TRY to track down the reference material - be it,written/spoken,but,over 45+ years,it's sometimes hard as much of it is in my head!

This channel is awesome, I've been sidelined on youtube over the last couple of years researching the origins of the great demographic replacement occurring across The West. I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been hooked. A refreshingly positive distraction from all the doom and gloom of modernity. Big thanks from the U.K.
@@uncannyvalley2350 In addition to that, many countries (Sweden and The Republic of Ireland for example) weren't colonial powers and haven't really been involved in any foreign intervention, yet they still get the same treatment. Care to explain?
@@uncannyvalley2350 What do you mean 'Sweden nonsense'? There's massive demographic change going on there, this is simply a fact. You seem very emotional, nay hysterical, about this subject, I'm simply telling you facts and asking you questions, I've not made a single moral judgement on either your views or what's happening across The West.
@@uncannyvalley2350 So do you see the great replacement as a good thing or a bad thing? Can you understand why some people see it as negative? If so, why do you call them racist? What's your problem with 'white people' or people of European descent as I prefer to call them?
The animosity of that "scientist" is a huge red flag, if one was certain that he has the truth there wouldn't be the need of acting in such a way. The incompatibility of the conventional story and the real life artifacts, the precision and magnitude of the whole thing makes it really hard to swallow that we as a civilization were able to reach this level of accomplishment and then kind of let all that knowledge, skills and technologies die along the way towards alledged progress and evolutionary development. Am happy to live in a time where keen, driven and intelectually honest investigators are making this priceless effort to shed some light onto such a mind buggling part of the history of mankind.
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.
A civilization had a jet engine, then started over with balloons, gliders, bi-planes, and at its best almost reaching the technological achievements of their original jets. This is how it would look after a global cataclysm.

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.

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've seen you on other podcasts, ice wanted to be a welder for a long time and I'm a car enthusiast so I have great interest in anything to do with science or mechanics, especially vibration with my hopes of one day becoming a exhaust designer with my own designs that use the "sonic boom" from engines to create excellent and controlled sound. That being said I had a massive interest anytime I saw you and I looked up many podcasts with you in them. For some reason it took me till last week to start watching your channel and believe me, I have been soaking in all of this beautiful information. Thank you for continuing or our interest in the past that way we may gain better knowledge for the future!
I almost pulled that punch in the edits. I wasn't meaning to be disrespectful to Monnier, more to illustrate how the house of cards is built on faulty assumptions.
No disrespect to monnier at all was assumed you dont seem disrespectful in any of your videos (well the craps zahi catches is well deserved 🤪) and "house of cards" is absolutely correct.
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.
This episode is really, really good and besides, I like the way you talk: You're naturally articulate and never boring. Me, as all your audience, watch your docu's with great interest, TWICE. But this time I have two petty corrections to remark: A) the Khufu statuette was found by Petrie in Abydos (a great place but the Osireion was shut when I was there...). 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!
These are brilliantly put together videos Ben, so glad I came across them a couple of weeks ago. I've watched other worthy videos by notables in the field but never put together well as you are managing , brilliant .
And let’s not forget that the Great Pyramid is actually an 8-sided pyramid as opposed to 4-sided, which also greatly increases the overall complexity of planning & building.
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!! 😊👍
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.
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?
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.
Would you kindly make a new timeline for Egypt (as far as new research shows it) with the Sphinx facing the leo constellation, and the monuments in the right places? The Orthodox Timeline as you pointed out is wildly unlikely.. How about a try for a real one? Thank you for this video - it was utterly fascinating. And thank you for not putting pounding drums and muzak over it.
Does anybody know why some of the pyramid casing stones have the same nobs as the stones in the megalithic walls in South America have? Does anyone know the purpose for this?
@@carolelerman9686 Yes, but I wonder why then not all stones have these nobs and why didn't they remove them ALL and polish them over after putting the stones in their place?
Great video. If I may share a story. I never realized I had separation anxiety as a child until seeing the episode with Mackenzie. I realized I behaved like him at that age. I brought it up with my mother and she reminded me of an instance that happened and that she was told by my aunt who's a psychiatrist that I had these same symptoms. I had completely forgotten and it all came back. This episode helped me process and heal in a way I never knew I needed. In a quick side note. My mother is very ill and I'm worried I may lose her very soon. Every time Sleepytime is referenced I get choked up, and now all I have to do is hear the score I start the waterworks. Bluey is nothing short of amazing. I hope your video continues to help others discover and fall in love with the show. It helps people. Thank you.
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.
A pastor, I used to watch who is now passed away, taught about what you discuss in this video. He referenced to start out with a Ferrari and ending with a model t. The accepted view of history can’t handle something that would hurt their fragile ego’s. He also taught on the map of Antarctica. That only an advanced society even bothers drawing maps. This subject fascinates me. Thank you!
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.
Absolutely riveting, one of the best if not , the best narrated videos on the web.I have to watch again, its not just a case of possibly of being in denial, its about as you say, facts, data, timeline and feasibility. We evolve we don't devolve. Thankyou for sharing. 👍
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.
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.
@Ostin Where are the casing stones with mathematical formulas on them? Oh right. Muslim iconoclasm. Lets just give them credit for the advances in mathematics they stole from the casing stones. Wayyy easier.
Fantastic film. Thank you for the amazing footage, much I’ve never seen before. Your theory of the co-opting of the ancient monuments is more than compelling… I feel like it instantly becomes the most likely theory if we force ourselves back to square 1 by acknowledging the very obvious use of powerful mechanical stone cutting tools. One thing I’ve never heard addressed is how they did perfect inside corners in three dimensions with a saw of any kind… the inside of the granite boxes for example. So much of it just looks like it was done with a hot knife. For me the pyramid has a giant water pump beneath it (looks exactly like a ram pump) and the water was used as the magic tool to build the thing. The inner “tubes” were flooded and the stones were hauled through using water pressure and ropes etc. I believe it’s still impossible to imagine the technology fall off… unless of course, the water dried up.
I agree with you, completely, about the historical record being a red herring. Academia is a closed shop, and has no interest in the truth, which would open up Pandora's box. Mankind's true history is being hidden - and ancient Egypt is one of the keys.
most likely when they decided to form an actual civilisation they found those pyramids and claimed them as their own. Eventually during the Old Kingdom they claimed all pyramids so there were none left for later dynasties to claim. thats the most simple explanation
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?
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 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.
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
You introduced amazing info I hadn't heard before. Best of all were the interiors of Djoser's pyramid. It made so much sense. Perhaps the exterior was built just to protect the granite structures beneath. Your whole video was wonderful to watch. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your work. Thanks!
Why don’t they or we challenge these scientists or archeologists? Let THEM rebuild this, if they are so,right, with the tools they claim was used, and x people... an exact Copy and let’s eee how long, and IF they re even able to... AND before you build you first must have a design.. to make it really equal they should make a complete new one, make the design with the same tools, no computer. I can’t even imagine this being done before making a 3D design, and even then often, after building, there are still issues to make it fit. So yeah if they are right they should,he able to do this, with the methods they claim were used, right ?
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".
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🌌
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.
It is very important to note that Ancient Egyptians memorialized their daily life and conquests in paintings and hieroglyphic. But there is no depiction or mention of the building of the magnificent Giza Pyramid, which they would have been absolutely proud of. Ancient Egypt was influenced by existing massive structures of a forgotten Advanced civilization. They tried heroically to imitate the technology they found, but did not reach the level of the older technology.
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
@@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.

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
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.

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 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.

Those who enjoy a spoonful of conspiracy theory before bed, could even point to the flooding of information outlets with this terrible "journalism" to be the work of those who have their own agenda's for this information to get swallowed up, mocked and put skeptics into the mindset you have as detailed above?
However there is zero evidence for this and i live my life by seeing facts and evidence before i blindly go believing in talking snakes and a guy that builds a boat for 5,000,000 species of animals.
It's a terrible shame that this practice goes on, as its doing a massive disservice to mankind. Because there really is incredible evidence and alongside things that simply cannot be answered.
And this is where video makers such as UnchartedX really shine through, Because his video's are really meticulously researched to the absolute best of his ability.
AND this includes actually visiting these ancient sites. That in itself puts him above 99% of people of video makers on this site who simply copy from the last video they watched in order to make money.
When it comes to EXTREMELY rare video's of this quality that actually provide a lot of very clear evidence and where evidence may not be available he simply asks the viewer what they make of it. And as per his disclaimer at the end, none of it is 100% proof of anything, but then neither is mainstream sciences view on this subject either.
But Rather than, as you correctly stated, the majority who say "well if you don't believe me then you are "brainwashed" "you only believe in mainstream crap" etc etc......... Those that push people to follow their beliefs in this manner are no different from someone trying to push religion down people's throats.
Where as this incredibly intelligent person, who has put blood sweat tears, money and countless hours in time into simply providing an alternative viewpoint on mainstream academia, really deserves the respect of having an intelligent person (as you clearly are) sitting down watching it thoroughly and taking in some of the astonishing facts presented therein.
Because a lot of it is truly mind-blowing.
"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.

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."
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.
Mirrors - only work during the day, or full moon.
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
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"
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.
Absolutely a quality documentary that gives clear evidence and insight that a lot more was a hand than most egyptologists tell. I am a geologist myself and the machinery marks shown are so compelling that they simply cannot be neglected. Very well done!
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...
I must admit, this is the best hystorical channel about megaliths in all youtube. I follow Brien Foerster, Bright inside and this is my number 1 pick for science. In my opinion this dude just kills mainstream archeology ..I am so happy I found this channel, excellent work..Good questions and points.. super! UnchartedX ,please keep making these videos, they are mind opening!
@@AVoidDances I am watching that too
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.
@@kodyhenry7 and then they all died in three years from cirrhosis of liver. you understand nothing.
@@impudentdomain says the person who can't fathom the simple task of building the pyramids. Just because they drank chunky beer as a food doesn't mean that's all they ate all day long for their whole existence. I understand nothing, says the person who can't even fathom how you move some big rocks. Literally basic human knowledge will do it. Then again my me, my dad raised 70k pigs per year. Two people, sometimes have a couple more to help when you load them up. We're on the chart would you rank that on possible? I understand nothing?
@@kodyhenry7 from your hysterical reply I stand by my statement.
YES SIR!!!!! If I only had a teacher like you in school. I would have loved school. Seriously, thank you
had only had
Teachers are not allowed to expound and inspire.. barely allowed to think for themselves.
Do you get a flash of the pants when you cross your legs ? I'd rather stick with what I had .
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.
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!
I find your videos extremely well made, well thought out, greatly narrated, and very informative.

Man this i one of the best videos on this subject. It goes through the important evidence with logic and thoroughness. No ancient alien type bullshit, just pure rationality. Thanks!
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.
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
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.
"this conclusion,ladies and gentlemen, is horse dung piled most high" , love it. priceless quote.
Unfortunately for you he's right and so are many others who have no vested interest or ego involved in true history. Not Egyptology fairy tales based on zero evidence . They are nothing more than the tourist board LOL
I loved that part also... priceless!!
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!
Y’all ever eat feces?
@@1sf679 like you obviously do ?
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...
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. The usual offered 'explanations' do not begin to match the sheer scale of the engineering. Our current 'civilization' is so conceited as to imagine that we alone, are 'just better. Also, Zahi Hawass is a conceited charlatan. Thank you, Ben, for another amazing revelation.
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.
I've been captivated by this fascinating study in history and archeology since stumbling onto one of your videos a week ago. It's changed my life. I want to know more. I've binge watched many of your videos, and others. This is so exciting. I love the truth.
"Officials working on it so it can be opened to the public." Means removing everything that hides the correct history.
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.
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.
I loved that zoom in on the point of the pyramid, the individual blocks. I always find it fascinating with all buildings. Every piece had to have been place there or directed there by a person. Amazing
I'm not sure it was "A" person like you say or even many multiples of people who got all the 2.3 - 2.5 million blocks & firstly quarrying them all & carrying them from Aswan Quarry 500 miles away( by there timeline 4,500BC)over gigantic desert dunes to the Giza plato and with the MOST PRECISE PLACEMENT ever seen,masterful geometry being applied for the chambers,shafts,voids etc,all without a single piece of mortar,cement etc and still to this day it hasn't even sank much as our modern day building's do,I've no idea how to explain such a thing of beauty and then finding out when I was younger that it's 8 sided not 4,I couldn't believe it until I saw it in person in my 2nd visit in 2014,no matter how many times you go there it's STILL ASTOUNDING what's in front of you,I can't wait for my next trip which will include Saqqara and Abusir in 2023,my biggest wish is that the chambers and the numerous levels below the Sphynx would either be honestly filmed without editing or let REAL ARCHEOLOGISTS and Chris Dunn,or other honest people to let us ALL know the truth(as we suspect already)and get those Egyptians in power to put an end to their own EGO'S so the world can finally get to see our REAL HISTORY because all the information is contained under the Sphynx I'm certain of it,they have NO RIGHT to keep our very own history from us all as it doesn't belong to the Egyptians because it's in the country it's every human's right to know about it all !!
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👋🌟✌

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$$!

@@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.

The animosity of that "scientist" is a huge red flag, if one was certain that he has the truth there wouldn't be the need of acting in such a way. The incompatibility of the conventional story and the real life artifacts, the precision and magnitude of the whole thing makes it really hard to swallow that we as a civilization were able to reach this level of accomplishment and then kind of let all that knowledge, skills and technologies die along the way towards alledged progress and evolutionary development. Am happy to live in a time where keen, driven and intelectually honest investigators are making this priceless effort to shed some light onto such a mind buggling part of the history of mankind.
37:50 those casing Stones have the similar knobs like the ones you see in south america
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.
Nephilims i think
A civilization had a jet engine, then started over with balloons, gliders, bi-planes, and at its best almost reaching the technological achievements of their original jets.
This is how it would look after a global cataclysm.

Awesome as usual. Ben, hats off, and thank you.
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!"

Utterly, and revolutionary brilliant. Ben's connecting the dots raises many more questions than answers. I am dumbfounded.
“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.
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!
I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t have at least one million subscribers.
Bloody fantastic video, mate! Both vision and dialogue/audio. Truly fascinating, and added confirmation of what I have always believed, affirmed with visiting the region, decades ago. I never believed the narrative taught in school and beyond. Well done...and thank you. Cheers.
This might be my favourite video yet. Great idea to put the timeline into perspective.
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.
Always look forward to your new releases. Great video
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 👍

That being said I had a massive interest anytime I saw you and I looked up many podcasts with you in them. For some reason it took me till last week to start watching your channel and believe me, I have been soaking in all of this beautiful information. Thank you for continuing or our interest in the past that way we may gain better knowledge for the future!

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.
This episode is really, really good and besides, I like the way you talk: You're naturally articulate and never boring. Me, as all your audience, watch your docu's with great interest, TWICE. But this time I have two petty corrections to remark: A) the Khufu statuette was found by Petrie in Abydos (a great place but the Osireion was shut when I was there...). 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!
These are brilliantly put together videos Ben, so glad I came across them a couple of weeks ago. I've watched other worthy videos by notables in the field but never put together well as you are managing , brilliant .
Always a pleasure to watch...

my respects for you and your work with thorough on-site analysis. What a great way to get to know this fascinating history. I need to go back to Egypt
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.
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?
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.
Would you kindly make a new timeline for Egypt (as far as new research shows it) with the Sphinx facing the leo constellation, and the monuments in the right places? The Orthodox Timeline as you pointed out is wildly unlikely.. How about a try for a real one? Thank you for this video - it was utterly fascinating. And thank you for not putting pounding drums and muzak over it.
Does anybody know why some of the pyramid casing stones have the same nobs as the stones in the megalithic walls in South America have? Does anyone know the purpose for this?
Never herd anyone explain that one. Could be for moving them.
@@carolelerman9686 Yes, but I wonder why then not all stones have these nobs and why didn't they remove them ALL and polish them over after putting the stones in their place?
@@LIBERTASetVERITA5 It's a mystery so far.
I read that when the sun shines from above the knobs produce a shadow on the wall. Clock/Calendar... ?
I don’t honestly know. But, my theory is they are remanence of the quarrying techniques.
Great video. If I may share a story. I never realized I had separation anxiety as a child until seeing the episode with Mackenzie. I realized I behaved like him at that age. I brought it up with my mother and she reminded me of an instance that happened and that she was told by my aunt who's a psychiatrist that I had these same symptoms. I had completely forgotten and it all came back. This episode helped me process and heal in a way I never knew I needed.
In a quick side note. My mother is very ill and I'm worried I may lose her very soon. Every time Sleepytime is referenced I get choked up, and now all I have to do is hear the score I start the waterworks. Bluey is nothing short of amazing. I hope your video continues to help others discover and fall in love with the show. It helps people. Thank you.
The whole supposed timeline that the "Establishment" claims seems too impossible. Just a reason to gain academic laurels and publish books.
That was the fastest 49 minutes of my life, a great video please keep it up please keep pursuing the truth please please please! Peace and love
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
We're being BSed hardcore

Egyptians didn't build the Pyramids. They tried to copy it and Failed.
A pastor, I used to watch who is now passed away, taught about what you discuss in this video. He referenced to start out with a Ferrari and ending with a model t. The accepted view of history can’t handle something that would hurt their fragile ego’s. He also taught on the map of Antarctica. That only an advanced society even bothers drawing maps. This subject fascinates me. Thank you!
Great to have you back : ) This should be interesting, as always.
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.
Absolutely riveting, one of the best if not , the best narrated videos on the web.I have to watch again, its not just a case of possibly of being in denial, its about as you say, facts, data, timeline and feasibility. We evolve we don't devolve.
Thankyou for sharing. 👍
There is a mystery that speaks to the origin of mankind...
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.
I watch your videos couple of times each. I cant stop asking questions... INSANE!
The inside of the older pyramids are so much more sophisticated than the outside. What's wrong with Egyptologists?
@@davidleomorley889 Please explain. Should I have said archaeologists?
Lots!
@Ostin Where are the casing stones with mathematical formulas on them? Oh right. Muslim iconoclasm. Lets just give them credit for the advances in mathematics they stole from the casing stones. Wayyy easier.
I don’t see how anyone believes the mainstream explanation.
This is treasure! Absolutely amazing work and I'm so glad I've discovered your channel. Keep going my friend, great work.
Fantastic film. Thank you for the amazing footage, much I’ve never seen before. Your theory of the co-opting of the ancient monuments is more than compelling… I feel like it instantly becomes the most likely theory if we force ourselves back to square 1 by acknowledging the very obvious use of powerful mechanical stone cutting tools.
One thing I’ve never heard addressed is how they did perfect inside corners in three dimensions with a saw of any kind… the inside of the granite boxes for example. So much of it just looks like it was done with a hot knife.
For me the pyramid has a giant water pump beneath it (looks exactly like a ram pump) and the water was used as the magic tool to build the thing. The inner “tubes” were flooded and the stones were hauled through using water pressure and ropes etc.
I believe it’s still impossible to imagine the technology fall off… unless of course, the water dried up.
I agree with you, completely, about the historical record being a red herring.
Academia is a closed shop, and has no interest in the truth, which would open up Pandora's box.
Mankind's true history is being hidden - and ancient Egypt is one of the keys.
This is one of the best videos about Egypt I’ve ever seen.
most likely when they decided to form an actual civilisation they found those pyramids and claimed them as their own. Eventually during the Old Kingdom they claimed all pyramids so there were none left for later dynasties to claim. thats the most simple explanation
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?
At 43.43 I can see nearly every race on Earth in that statues face. South pacific islanders mostly.
But Mayan too. Even some anglo like me.
Theres a circle of human faces somewhere. It has all the races on it. From around the globe. Pyramid builders travelled the globe.

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.

You introduced amazing info I hadn't heard before. Best of all were the interiors of Djoser's pyramid. It made so much sense. Perhaps the exterior was built just to protect the granite structures beneath. Your whole video was wonderful to watch. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your work. Thanks!
14:21 Holy schist! These lathe turned vessels are amazing.
Why don’t they or we challenge these scientists or archeologists? Let THEM rebuild this, if they are so,right, with the tools they claim was used, and x people... an exact Copy and let’s eee how long, and IF they re even able to... AND before you build you first must have a design.. to make it really equal they should make a complete new one, make the design with the same tools, no computer. I can’t even imagine this being done before making a 3D design, and even then often, after building, there are still issues to make it fit. So yeah if they are right they should,he able to do this, with the methods they claim were used, right ?
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".

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.
It is very important to note that Ancient Egyptians memorialized their daily life and conquests in paintings and hieroglyphic. But there is no depiction or mention of the building of the magnificent Giza Pyramid, which they would have been absolutely proud of. Ancient Egypt was influenced by existing massive structures of a forgotten Advanced civilization. They tried heroically to imitate the technology they found, but did not reach the level of the older technology.
