What makes it even greater is the fact that it has chambers that isn’t carved after the Pyramid was finished but is planned and built while the Pyramid is being constructed.
@@astenxxx8930 They just had a different way of doing things, now days people are sloppy but they get the job done and advance quickly. Back then it seems that while they might not of had the vast amount of knowledge people have today in numerous fields, the things they did do blacksmithing (samurai swords, damascus steel), Masonry (castles/pyramids), and other fields they were very clever about. Even Medicine to a degree has taken a step back while, drugs themselves have come a long way, but the basics of herbal medince thats worked for a millenia has taken a step back.
I believe he left a great amount of detail out of his tutorial. Like how they hauled the 70 ton granite blocks up the ramp, to the interior and precisely placed to create rooms and tunnels.
The rooms are pretty easy if you work in layers. You could just make a plan from both sides and the top and then not put stones in the room that you created. This would barely require more planning than the pyramids themselves. And since the stones probably weren't put up with lightning speed, you could easily control the actual build so that everything is in the right place. The only real issue is the support structure so that the room doesn't collapse in on itself, but that is also not impossible.
Pyramids were ancient history even to Cleopatra. Cleopatra was alive about 2000 years ago. Pyramids were built 2500 years before Cleopatra. It took humans about 3800 years to build a building taller than the pyramid. Also, mammoths didn’t go extinct for 1,000 years after the pyramids were built. Incredible.

That was an animation. Think instead each person is able to pull 200 lbs up a 10% grade and you need 40 people. Given that a lot of men can lift 200 lbs this is easily doable. At a 10% grade they would be in effect lifting 40 pounds plus overcoming friction, so say 60 pounds in total if the gravel can "roll" and the coefficient of friction is 50%. Add camels and you probably only need 10 camels, each pulling 800 pounds but due to the 10% slope experiencing 80 pounds of weight plus 400 pounds of friction at 50%. If we say the coefficient of friction is 50%, which is pretty high for rock on rock, each camel would have to tow 480 pounds of force. I think that can be done if you whip them enough. If not add more camels.
@hiamaraldvaan7221 First they carved out the perimeter square for the base. Once they had their perfect square (same length on all 4 sides) they started digging down into the bedrock low enough to fill the entire square with an exact level of water. Once the square base was filled with water they used the natural level of the water to smooth out the base to perfect level depth. The water was then drained, and they then began digging the subterranean chamber passageway.
any explanation that includes the "golden tip" should be discounted immediately. there was never a golden capstone. also you cant just push giant stone blocks across wood like that, you need to roll it across wood shaped like a sine wave. also seismology has shown that the pyramids are almost completely empty, being a very thin outer layer, a few large rooms inside, and then a bunch of loose rubble and sand and literal empty space from erosion.

I’m guessing you’ve never worked doing any sort of manual labour? It’s not that far a stretch of the imagination to believe people did that. Egypt had an insane amount of slaves at their disposal.
I guess there was a continuous line of people and stones moving up at >= 30 cm/minute, and once they lay down the stone at the top, they just yelled "Yahoo!" and slid down the pyramid to start all over again.
@@user-kouritis-o-minoitis only the granite was transported a significant distance, most of the material was quarried on site only a few hundred yards away. Also you can quarry/shape blocks for the 2nd layer while the first layer is being built so it doesn't add time really at all, just manpower.

Reminds me of a great quote by the great Jan L. A. van de Snepscheut. "The difference between theory and practice is larger in practice than the difference between theory and practice in theory."
"Cheap" ... well longer build will take , more food is needed for slaves = % of food is locked in this project , and farmers wont work for free , so building cheap and fast is a goal , there is 118 pyramids in Egypt , so they have perfected that process , I bet first small pyramids was build with ramps as show at beginning at the video , but when pyramids get higher they need to find new ways to build it , same happen in our times , first large houses was build using bricks , but then came revolution , and builders start to use steel frames and cranes , and now we can build skyscrapers much higher what ancient Egyptians did 5.000 years ago, and we build them much cheaper that pharos did.
This is a decent theory. I prefer the idea that humans had developed technology in the past and we don’t currently have the right understanding of our history.
Imagine past humans building something so incredible and unimaginable that future humans believe it impossible to have built it without any help from another being.
It's because modern people value their leisure time more than anything. So they can't imagine doing this amount of manual labor. Something that was just a part of life for past generations.
That's a good theory. One thing I always wondered, if the pyramids were built in 20 years, it calculates out to placing/fitting a multi-ton block every 2.5 minutes. Even if they solved the ramp problem, it seems there would be a massive "traffic jam".
Imagine how long it took beforehand to build all the boats needed to ship all those stones. And how long it took to cut, quarry, shape, load, deliver, and unload each stone to the pyramid area before they can even be hauled up. Mindblowing. They were dealing with technology that has since been lost.
Keep in mind they built 3 of these.... YEAH..... You are correct with your math on ONE... 20 25 years if they placed a block every 2.5 minutes 24-7 365 days a year... Seams like a joke to me...
Thats excellent as far as it goes. I would say the granite stones in the kings chamber were too heavy for the ramps and needed a counterweight system using the 'grand gallery' which was for that purpose . It would be good to integrate this into your scheme, which is the best I have encountered.
@@Pauly421 I thought of that on my own... lots of people have noticed the grand gallery could be used for hauling blocks .... But I agree History for Granite is a great channel. So much detail !
You can only take a time machine as far back as when it was constructed. Then you call out onto the factory floor where it was assembled. Honest! Happened to me when I tried it.
If this was how it was built, evidence of the 'inset ramp' would be prominent, as the outer layers have been scavenged to build the cities of more modern Egypt, like a couple of thousand years ago. There is a well founded theory that essentially uses this method, but with interior ramps, evidence of which can be inferred from some areas of the pyramid as it exists today.
Where do these mythical internal ramps evidence exist ???? have you ever been on site ? the only correct thing you said was the original limestone casing was removed to build old Cairo
There is another theory with some scant evidence of 'internal ramps' visible at places on the exterior. These, it is theorized, are part of the ramps which were largely covered or filled in as construction neared completion... the truth is out there, go find it yourself as I did. I think it was a European professor who developed the ideas. Have fun and thanks for your comment.
There is evidence of something like this. There are notches and internal ramp passages spiralling up the pyramid that were confirmed with some internal imaging. Look it up.
@@nathanryweck3137 ramps exist, yes, but they are far too small and steep to be useful for moving multi ton stones. The purpose of those ramps are still unknown.
No stone that size and weight could be hauled up any ramp steeper than 10°. The amount of people it would have taken to even move a 1 ton block, let alone the 50+ ton kings chamber block would have been so massive, they would have not been able to all be on a ramp.
Everyone always talks about how we know so little about ancient concretes. I’m still convinced those stones were ground to powder and bought up in bags with water and set to dry in molds in the hot sun.
Its amazing that the pinnacle ended up right at the centre of the square. You need exact and even tapering from every side of the square for that. Maybe the used a straight pole at the centre at every step.
bro... did u have geometry at school? if you keep the angles of the sides at 45 degree all the time, it is geometrically guaranteed that pinnacle will be at the exact center.
It's not that we can't figure out how they did it. They have been many methods and solutions proposed. It's just that we don't know which exact one was used.
The idea was revealed to me, and I'm working on a movie to demonstrate it. Subscribe to catch it... or watch my older version now... but... the new one is worth the wait.
I think technology back the. was just as advanced as it is today! Just seems mind blowing that all those stone were cut to perfection with the most basic of tools! We’ve been around for millions of years and in the last 100yrs we’ve done it all…. They must of had advanced tech back then
But noone explained how they managed to perfectly cut 2.5 million blocks of granite, in only one pyramid alone. And how did they transported all of those blocks, and from where, and how did they perfectly leveled the ground and perfectly alined the pyramid's 4 sides to to face perfectly north,east,west and south with almost 0% mistake. We can only guess but we will never find out.
Actually you're making some rather wrong assumptions. One of them is assuming all blocks that are within the pyramid are nice and smooth and squared, like gigantic Legos. They are not. Only the outer casing, the 2 rooms, and the Gallery, have nice large granite blocks, the rest of the pyramid it's rough cut filler boulders with mortar and pebbles. To transport the blocks they used boats. Leveling the bedrock is not that hard, and polar alignment isn't a big thing when you're on land. Also the pyramid was planned well in advance.
@@thelazy0ne Yes, and one theory is that a large part of the interior of the pyramid is rubble: all the chippings left over from roughly squaring those blocks. I don't know if I agree with the theory or not, seems it would make it unstable, but they had to do something with all the rubble left over.
dude we fly giant metal birds in the sky, these people had the same intellegence and ingenuity as us, albiet with gaps in knowledge (benifit of living in the future). None the less, if we compare core humans, it's the same thing.
It doesn't make _that_ case. Just this case. And it's illuminating because it does give you an idea of how the other parts were created. Imagine blue prints for each level with block placement for the ascending corridors. It'd be also easier for a surveyor to ensure that the corridors are working well.
The base of the Great Pyramid is a square with each side measuring 230 m (756 ft) and covering an area of 5.3 hectares (13 acres) that was perfectly level, think about that for a moment.
We know that canals were dug, allowing the stone blocks to be transported right up to the site. I am convinced that the Egyptians were able to pump water uphill, thus making a counterbalance system feasible.
got to love how people try to simplify something that just baffles engineers to this day.So there is a article that puts the time frame into perspective and it goes.to move 2.3 million blocks they would have to be laid every 5 minutes of every day 24 hours a day for 20 years.So then you have the production of the near perfectly fit blocks.This production does not show any of the chambers and tunnels so at some point you do not have a standard shape block.So being in heavy construction most of my life and I am talking working around 300T and 600T cranes you start to understand that whoever built these things were way beyond there time because we cant logically figure it out now with all are so called tech.
Thanks for the video! Perfectly elegant and efficient method. Makes 100% sense to use the structure itself as a ramp. For anyone wondering about the interior design, simply watch an fdm printer in action. Exactly the same principle.... The whole structure is built layer by layer and you simply leave gaps where you want a room, or passage. A couple of layers later you bridge the gaps and you have a roof.
It makes sense if you're the moron and you actually think people were going to spend the rest of their lives building a pyramid for no reason at all this is a stupid thing I've ever heard why don't you go get a job building a pyramid dude you're so smart and you agree with this nonsense
Take 30 engineers and give them a task to find the simplest and cheapest way to build the pyramids by using man force. The most common solution will have the highest probability of being the one used by Egyptians.

It's not clever at all. So they dragged 20 tons blocks up a ramp angled at 20°. The whole reason for the mile long external ramp is cause the only way u could explain humans lifting stones that heavy is for them to drag on a ramp that's maybe angled at 1-2°. And that's questionable. They would have had to circle the pyramid about a thousand times to match the correct angle.

Pause at about 2.5 minutes in . . . Anyone who has ever done even a bit of basic woodworking or masonry construction knows how hard it is to get something started *here* to line up later, *there*. Getting the angles dead perfect right from the beginning, to line up aaaaalllll the way to the top of this thing is insanely difficult. In an age when they supposedly had such rudimentary tools and methods? This is still a crazy mystery to me.
@rmcdaniel423 interesting theory that only explains the out layer . What about thé 2.5 million blocks in.? Assembled in ways to form chambers , corridors, vents, voids etc… for me too, mystery’s still going on. 🙂 I think the only way we will ever know how it was really builded , is by inventing a time travelling machine.
@@pierLXV Interiers were built as caves, the inner area was filled with mud basicaly. The people always built corridors like mines, into terrain, or tunnels, it's not so difficult. Then, they've only put stones inside, and did pretty simple masonery

@@xl000 I see you have strong hypotheses about how easy it would be to build something that huge with such precision. Tell me . . . what's the largest thing you have built using rope "as a guide"?

I'm curious to hear about your experience in this matter. Since, you seem to know more than me and feel confident enough to contradict my prior assertion.
I believe it is a "rail" type system, like train tracks. And the video did show that. It just didn't make a comment about it. Sand is too unstable of a surface to move the blocks with simply wood timbers under the blocks. The weight of the blocks would cause the timbers and blocks to dig themselves into the sand as you pulled them forward. The rail type system, made out of metal not wood I believe, would allow the blocks to be managed much easier and without as much effort. Now how they cut the granite stones used and were able to load them on boats is a good question. But the sandstone blocks are actually a type of sandstone "cement", again making alot of sense. Would be nice to see somebody actually test some of these theories.
@@pureenlightmen ....You need to go back to the 3rd Grade....Because some of those stones weighed over 100 Tons. But even a 2.5 Ton stone is moved with difficulty. But a single stone weighing 100 tons. Forget it. It can't be done, but somehow, someone, or something did it
The issue with this is it leaves the interior completely filled in, when we know these were tombs of Pharaohs and had huge burial chambers and rooms inside…
The Great Pyramid of Giza took 25 years to build according to Egyptologists. It is built with 2,300,000 blocks with an average of 2.5 tons. 25 years are 9125 days. 2,300,000 divided by 9125 days gives 252 blocks per day. 252 blocks per day divided by 12 hours of daily work gives 21 blocks per hour. 60 minutes divided by 21 blocks gives 2.8 blocks per minute. How the hell can you build a pyramid of 146 meters in height, equivalent to a building of 48 floors by taking the blocks from a quarry, cutting them to perfection and putting them one on top of the other until reaching the height of 146 meters, all this at a speed of 2.8 blocks OF ALMOST 3 TONS per minute? THE PYRAMIDS were BUILT BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS AND THAT’S IT. The rest of the justifications (theories) are novels worthy of El Gabo’s MAGICAL REALISM. Among the people who are in charge of distributing falsehoods at a planetary level, we find the picturesque “doctor” Zahi Hawass who is part of this great global conspiracy to deny the true origin of the human being that is NEITHER DIVINE NOR EVOLUTIONARY.
I believe that more than one inset ramp would have been better for a faster construction: 4 ramps at first, then decreasing as you go up (2 after the 1st corner, 1 from the 2nd corner onwards)
@thegodtroynaar They’re trying to fool you into expanding your portfolio by learning how to create and render 3D models. Don’t fall for their considerate and kind-hearted scheme!!!
And all the while here I was thinking that simply using a pistol like anti-gravitation device that can counter any weight would be the most far fetched idea. Thank you for putting me in my place.
This concept of how the Great Pyramid was built, which is listed at the end of this video as being thought up by one Daryl Fazekas, was first published by architect Jean-Pierre Houdin in 2008 in his book "The Secret of the Great Pyramid", written with Egyptologist Bob Brier, who introduced Houdin to the scientific community.
I have not read it, but didn't Houdin theorised that internal tunnels, and not inset ramps, were used? I'm trying to see who came up first with the inset ramp. And when.
Exactly! It's a cheap adaptation of Jean Pierre's work. And this theory of inset ramp is faulty too, considering such a ramp would affect the overall geometry of the pyramid.
@@thorpeenith3436 exactly the capstone is massive. How did they lift it and put it on top? There was no space for ramps at the top. Might br some wooden scaffolding to support the blocks and cranes. But it’s a real mystery. Since it would be very precarious to use cranes at the top.
About a decade ago I was 12 we drove by this Small Hill surrounded by buildings when entering the city in Mexico & it just stuck out like a sore thumb, when I returned at age 15 during summer break, we passed by & was told that the City wanted to remove it & discovered a buried Pyramid only unearthing the top
When I think of the past, I don’t think humans were “dumber” by any means. I believe at one point we may have even been more advanced in some aspects. I believe the pyramids were proof of that. Theres a lot of small details like one of chambers having something like red stone granite that’s from somewhere 500 miles away, blows my mind.
@@trunkslorenzana Not really, we're talking about illiterate morons for the most part. They did human sacrifice, people were always at war. When you're a ruler with endless thousands of slaves, you can get some things done, but in reality it was one very rich guy exploiting the poverty of the masses.
pink granite, from Aswan. They had a well-known quarry there. Transporting those isn't that crazy because they just floated them down the Nile, but cutting and placing them is still mysterious to me
Try to keep in mind why they were doing this at all. They thought some guy was a God. He was just a guy. Usually a pretty screwed up guy because he was inbred. The population was made up of illiterate people that did what they did because someone told them a goofy story. There were some smart guys, but they outlived their usefulness after building stuff like this got too expensive. It's impressive, outside of the fact that it was done for some hillbilly reasons. This method seems plausible though, at least no aliens were mentioned.
The fine finished casing stones probably didn't go on until last though. The Great Pyramid still has some near it's peak that haven't been mined by locals or shaken off by earthquakes making it pretty obvious that they didn't strictly need to have a course below to stay in place. The only reason this could be true would be if the final outer layer was only added before the ramp was filled in. The next course or three are not fine turra limestone but they were cut just as accurately and you simply wouldn't put the fine outer layer in place until there wasn't any more heavy work going on that could muck it up. One alternative technique involves tipping blocks up the courses like loading a heavy file cabinet into a pickup without ever needing to lift more than a third of it's weight. This method would be fine for moving blocks up to ten courses and must've been used to finish the entirety of the pyramids peak and most likely to install all of the fine outer casings. This would also have the virtue of providing an origin for the ancient oral tradition that "the pyramid was built from the top down" making it a corruption of the final stage of construction only. This abbreviated video doesn't mention that the general idea was pioneered by a French researcher named Houdin or that there would also have been a single larger but still quite manageable ramp coming off the hill the middle pyramid was later built on purely to get all the granite up to the level of the Kings Chamber as well. Its interesting that none of this is intrinsically incompatible with the pyramid being built in stages or ton put it another way there is no reason the the granite couldn't have been part of an earlier structure with later dynastic Egyptians adding most of the volume of the pyramid via inset spiral ramps.
Disagree, no matter what construction method they used the Egyptians would have placed the casing stones first as that would be important for sighting and aligning accuracy of the angles of the sides and using them as solid and accurate datums for the shape. Then as shown a few courses of smooth blocks and the remaining area filled in with rubble until they got to interior passages or cavities where needed. The video is the most plausible so far shown on RU-vid I have viewed and I have viewed them all.
Well, Egyptians first built mastabas, then stepped pyramids and lastly true pyramids. It's clear pyramid building rose from building of mastabas. Pyramid is like mastabas staked on a top of each other. Is it super complex to build mastaba? No. I think multiple mastabas were built on the top of each other and at the end outer case of blocks were put in place. From Meidum pyramid Egyptians learned outer case of stones can drag down whole building and corrected angle of the walls (you can see walls of mastabas are steeper). With Red pyramid Egyptian engineers played safely, but to save time, materials and also to built higher pyramids they needed to calculate optimal angle of walls. I'm surprised even people with knowledge in engineering and Egyptology speak about pyramids like it came out of nowhere. Of course the biggest question is how Egyptians brought big stones so high? Well, stones at the top of pyramid are significantly smaller than those at the bottom and many people don't know this. While it makes sense to use ramps for first two or three levels of pyramid - afterall this is where biggest blocks and most of them were put and also Egyptians could use help of oxes to drag them up - I find highly unlikely what was shown in video. It's not that it is impossible or wasn't done. Egyptians learned building of Pyramids while building them, but in case of big pyramids I think a simple lever system could have been in place.

This 100% over simplifies the entire job. With zero modern tools and machines these people carved out and transported 2,500,000 blocks in under 20 years. To appreciate this massive construction it's best to rock up and stand next to it. It is MASSIVE.
Nobody alive today knows how the pyramids were built. Even with modern machinery and technology, people have failed to build even small scale replicas of these incredible creations.
That's not true. Check out This Old Pyramid. They built a smaller scale pyramid using methods the ancient Egyptians could have used. No anti-grav machines, no giants, no bullsiht.
I think they cut blocks. Crushed them, moved the easily transportable powder form, then just made the blocks by making a concrete like mixture and pouring them into wooden forms. Thus making them super smooth and all exactly the same size. Then they drew on the walls that they pulled each gigantic block into place just to fool others and prevent them from achieving a similar feat of power. That would also explain why the blocks don't have natural like stratification as well as when analyzed the heavier sediment is at the bottom of the blocks and not regularly distributed throughout like in natural rocks. Thus suggesting they were in liquid form at some point. The depictions showing how they made it by physically impossibly pulling all the blocks from far away then building it in like 22 years make no sense. That's way to fast. Figure out a decent concrete was not beyond them. In fact that is literally how they used to make other building blocks for smaller houses.
I have a book that describes the research into this. Reading it there seems to be no doubt the big pyramids were made by casting blocks. The smaller ones were carved. Why do we to now this? Because it would ruin part of Egypts myths and culture. So it is blocked, covered up.
You're method makes theoretical since however the stones were natural and not any sort of mixture. This can be seen visually but has also been proven by chemical analysis and by locating the exact quarry locations.
@@jaybe2908 Did you research this yourself? Because the writer of this book did and he found all sort of materials you certainly would not find in natural stone: hair and cloth among them. His finding have deliberately been blocked and barred.
the transport of those blocks is mostly inplausible. The blocks have been poured and molded in place where they were positioned. The molds were disassembled and reassembled to pour the next blocks, and so on.
The thing that really amazes me is that not only did they accomplish this with no heavy machinery, but the fact they did this and it took us so long to figure out how they did it without this technology.
@@satankingofdarkness8810 I know what you mean, but there's people like Graham Hancock who believe they are 12 thousand years old. In that regard, 2000 years is not so much. While I dont agree with Hancock, for me it is hard to believe that the ancient Egyptians - as "smart" as they were - would for some reason decide to live in a desert, let alone spend years building a useless pyramid there. It makes more sense if it wasnt a desert at the time, not saying it had to a full on jungle, but relatively lush compared to now.
@@smokey6455 well your half-right, Egypt is not all sand, the area around the Nile is fertile enough for settlements, but a large majority of the area is desert. The ancient Egyptians likely settled by the Nile because it was one of the only fertile places. It should be pointed out that Hancocks theories are considered pseudoscientific and not considered likely by egyptologists. Also the pyramids werent completely useless, though when I last checked we haven't found any actual Pharoahs in the pyramids, they were likely built as monuments to the Pharoahs who the ancient Egyptians saw as descendants of their gods.
I too knew everything about life at 15, and somehow knew even more at 16 and 17. Sadly I lost that knowledge when I went to college and had to start living on my own.
Exactly. (That does not mean aliens did it, but this theory cannot be claimed to be THE way they did it. Furthermore, there are noticeable vertical lines running down the middle of each side of the pyramid suggesting the construction was done using steps on each side... Again, that is just another theory, not THE way it was done.)
I still think the casing stones were placed after the interior blocks, just roughly cut then made square and perfect from the top down, possibly using this internal ramp in the video.
@@Pauly421 I heard that would make precise alignment almost impossible. They think the precision of the pyramid being so close to perfect rules out your thought.
I hate the alien theory. This is a great example of how the pyramid was built and it makes tons of sense because of the step pyramid was a precursor to the Khufu pyramid.
You might hate it mate but to others they love it, it possibly might of been built by humans but doesn't negate the fact that aliens might of nudged the humans in that direction or practice
This is a great concept and a possibility that this is what they did but unfortunately there's no proof of side ramps like this. Wonderful animation in this video.
It cannot place the capstone, which is larger than the blocks beneath it. In fact, it cannot place the blocks beneath the capstone because the ramps cannot be long enough. This is an example of showing some impossible result to prove how it came to be. They cannot show, from beginning to end, how the level beneath the capstone was put in place... much less how the 10x10 sized capstone was raised and put in place.
@@scotth6814 I've seen a photo of one that wasn't that large.... but at the top of the pyramid there's a pad that is 10x10 blocks wide, so I'm assuming, since this pyramid is larger than most, that it's capstone would be (much) larger than most. (Otherwise ya couldn't see it from the ground) And in just a few days I'm coming out with a new video with an improved theory relative to my existing one... which you are free to watch on my channel.
The millions of blocks that were used to construct the Pyramid were so large in number and weight, and so precise in dimensions and placement that there is no possibility that it was built within the span of 20 years, especially this method made the construction into a sequential problem
Lmao just because white people didn't build it doesn't mean it's not possible. It was 2.3 million blocks that created the Great Pyramid. There were 100,000 laborers that worked on this, over the span of 20 years you would only need to place 23 blocks per individual.
Regardless of how the blocks were moved, how did they make each face of the pyramid perfectly level and symetrical with just hand tools? We can barely do that today with laser technology
It is point less to think that ancient people can’t do this, recently I read about evolution of time, as I found Egyptians are the first who used to measure the day, so I believe they might have had better observations and skills to implement an idea! Even in the current time not everyone thinking like Elon Musk. Rolls Royce and Ford are having same engineering qualified people but …..
Technically it is feasible, however, the alignment between two blocks we know has a gap of circa 100 µm and therefore these blocks could have been geopolymer limestone molded on site - this I suppose is an hypotheses for all the megaliths like in Baalbek (Lebanon) 5 x 20 x 3,6 m, weigh more that 800 tons (metric).
Except for the casing stones, the fitting of the blocks is very crude. There are even large gaps. Just take a look at a closeup picture of the pyramid exterior. Only in certain cases, like the King's Chamber, is the fitting of stones very good. 99% of the pyramid has very poor fitting of stones.
@@scotth6814 Thanks for participating, We are comparing materials like limestone, granite, basalt, and mud bricks; technology hypotheses - not only the pyramids but all the megaliths at the time when human civilization maybe was not developed in masonry or was it? Limestone and mud bricks can be synthetic - find utube footage “Building the Pyramids of Egypt with Artificial Stones” or read Joseph Davidovits. How precise could have been ancient civilizations in cutting basalt and granite (hardness 6 and 8)? Slaves or workers or there were human rights? (see Code of Hammurabi). The analysis has to be multi disciplined and maybe astonish us. If we look at Gobekli Tepe it should - it is not about answers but doubts and likelihood, at least that is how we operate the scientific method.
@@sergioad5604 I did read Davidovits' book long ago. And I saw a demonstration of him making a synthetic block. It was a SLOW process and took a LOT of resources. It just doesn't make sense to build an entire pyramid that way. Now if every one of the 2.5 million blocks was exactly the same, and fit together like Lego bricks, then I would be convinced. I have seen blocks cut by saw in an experiment. See Scientists Against Myths (I think that's what the channel was called). I absolutely agree that the granite lining of the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid and many sarcophagi were made with saws and drills. Lasers and aliens are out of the question.
All these theories but nothing in detail. You have to consider the internal parts of the pyramids too. The raising of blocks that weigh in excess of 70 tons.
It is pretty likely that several different methods were employed during the pyramid construction. The kings chamber could’ve been built with a different approach than the rest of the pyramid. I tend to think that the grand gallery was somehow used to move those enormous granite blocks up.
@@LordXsi i see it like this 3 teams outer filling and tomb the outer people made it look nice the fillers just fill and keep it level and the tomb team that started first made all the big stones
@@jackiebiskan4748 you might be right. The big question is the exact sequence of steps those teams took… overall, i think the organization and logistics of this project are way more impressive then the actual hauling of huge stones… and to think they ran this enormous process for 20+ years virtually uninterrupted… its mind blowing
@@LordXsi ok firstly as a stonemason, i am telling you it is impossible to cut and shape granite with the tools we are told they used to build the pyramids. That is a FACT. Secondly it did not take that long to build as growing evidence is now showing. People really need to stop listening to mainstream egyptologists that know NOTHING about how stonemasonary works. These were clearly advanced craftsmen with cleary advanced technology.
The architect of the Great Pyramid was the 27-great grandfather of the founder of modern-day IKEA. Surprisingly, the assembly instructions are virtually identical.
Here is the Original Semitic Text. HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
@@Praise___YaH Every single thing you just said is COMPLETELY FALSE!!! Here is **EXACTLY** what Moses said: "Bubie, where's my sandwich?" "What sandwich? You said you wanted corned beef!" "Yes -- in a sandwich!" "You should have said, maybe?" "I did, you schmuck! And I said LEAN! I wanted LEAN!" "So, this isn't lean?" "It's not a sandwich, you MOMZA!" "So picky, this one! What, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?" "My bed was the SAND, bubala. What wrong side?" "Okay, okay, I'll go back and order it on a sandwich." "Pumpernickel." "Okay, pumpernickel." "With the spicy mustard." "Spicy mustard." "And don't forget the pickle!" "Pickle. Got it." "You should write this down, maybe...?" "Fine! I'll write it down!" "AND LEAN! I WANT LEAN...!"
You forgot one variable, the sheer weight of the stones. That alone would have required the amount of manpower that would not have been able to be supported by such a narrow and minutely spacious inset ramp.
There was definitely some technology back then we don’t know bout it’s not possible those civilizations were building these near impossible structures they knew more than us
@@Furhtf lol you're dumb. Everyone who has outlandish theories about "some technology" is losing the plot. Even a baby playing with wooden blocks is instinctively able to conceive this simple shape. You just lash the blocks that are already designed to be easily flipped (twice as long as they are tall) with long levers, and flip them up. You can see where they did that, because there are four channels on each side that look a bit chewed up.
@@vikumwijekoon3166 Sure, but we can never recreate the stone masonry done here. We cannot recreate this precision with our state of the art technology. Don’t you find that weird? Plus the pyramids are perfectly aligned with Orion’s Belt…. I mean not only did they build these pyramids but they also aligned it with this constellation. Also if you look this up, the pyramids have some insane math behind it too. Maybe they saw further in space than we did now. This civilization is too arrogant to believe their ancestors might’ve been advanced.
Nice work, will you please show how they made the 90 degree turns at each corner while pulling up the blocks. At some point you can no longer pull the block with a team, you would have to push it to get it to the corner first. It's an engineering problem that has to be addressed or the whole idea is not complete. Most of the ramp ideas I've seen overlook and just assume they had a way to turn it, but not explain how. I've seen seen some explanations showing elaborate lever machines at the corner but like most things, a simple answer was likely more the truth, I'd like to hear some ideas on how.
A well placed block could be laid so that one side of the block being pulled stops moving, meaning it turns on the spot. To do that would potentially mean friction on the ropes if the team had to move round the corner ( the ropes then rubbing against the walls ) but a vertical hollow post slotted over a vertical solid post, creating a roller, wouldn’t be beyond their engineering capabilities, I don’t think. No idea if any of that is feasible at all…?
I think it would be easy enough to accomplish with some wheels and a pulley system to redirect the rope, something they should have had back then. After all, they had the techniques to cut stone and they must have had lathe systems to make the perfectly round vases.
The problem with this theory is there is absolutely no trace of a spiral ramp in the rough outer surface of the pyramid. There's a whole lot of people who will confidently tell you how they were built, but all the theories are different and there is absolutely no direct evidence to support any of them. It's all speculation.
