The Great Pyramid of Giza contains 2.3 million individual blocks of stone, meaning one block would have to be laid every five minutes of every hour, 24 hours a day, for the entire 20 years.
Actually you would have to lay a brick every 4 minutes and 31 seconds. But they built 3 pyramids in that time... Allegedly... So you're probably looking at a brick every few seconds more realistically.
@@taistelulaama9159 It has to be... considering it was 4500 years ago and taking into account the stone age tools they used according to the majority of egyptologists it was simply not possible to build all these pyramids in such a short period of time. Also its crazy since that was literally at the beginning of civlization itself in its modern form. Building such monuments takes organization and building skills which were unprecedented at that time and are crazy and just unbelievable when you think about them.
Is nobody else confused about the whole "aliens would have had to go back in time because humans couldn't calculate the speed of light accurately until the 50's" part?
because getting to earth from another planet, that we haven't discovered yet or haven't discovered life or earth like characteristics would take millions or thousands of lightyears, meaning that if they found our planet it would already be our current present or even the future
what really happened was they would put stakes of wood close to two blocks and grow it so that the rock will split... At least that's what it says in my history book
I just wanna know how above the Kings Quarters, (in at least one of the pyramids) there were numerous granite slabs each weighing around 70 tons but somehow were so perfectly placed, even down to the last inch 🤯
@@IPlayCrossFire look up John Anthony West or Graham Hancock*, there are many others but the ideas and theory's these two present seem the most likely in my opinion *Also Robert Schoch
The egyptians are not one of the first civilisations who believed in an after life, they are the first we have traces of this belief. After-life are so common in all cultures, it would be very odd if it appears only 6000 years ago, and the burial rites of prehistoric men, including Neanderthal, can let us think that those persons also believed in an after life. It's not sure, but it could.
I recall seeing a practical archeologist recreating how the Christmas Island statues were built and moved, it was surprisingly easy, without any wheels, they cut huge monoliths and moved them miles. I’ve seen dozens of “experts” since then making wild inaccurate guesses about the construction and movement of the monoliths. Similarly, in Egypt, the vast majority of the population were agricultural workers, who didn’t have much work for 8 months of the year while plants were growing.
The legend said they were walked into place, when scientists tested the theory they found it was very easy to move them by wobbling them as though they were walking.
Ah yes, because 2.3 million 2 ton bricks can be moved with ease using rope and wood scaffolding. Grow up dude the Egyptians only worshipped the Pyramids, they didn't build them.
@@archiederham2103 The Romans moved 2500 ton blocks. Why is no one making wild theories about who helped the Romans. 2 tons is nothing compared to 2500 tons. Also, the Great Pyramid is 1/3rd a limestone hill. And the interior is just rubble and limestone mortar. Only the outer layers are blocks (very crude randomly sized blocks). Only the final visible layer used to be very meticulously shaped (most of that layer was stripped) So it's not made of 2.3 million blocks. Also, that limestone mortar has bits of organic material in it. If what you say is true, how would it possible for that bits of organic material captured in the mortar to be younger than the mortar? Also, some pieces of wood splinters (from wood used during construction) was sealed in the Pyramid, how come these have the exact same carbon dating as the organic material in the limestone mortar?
@@tylerdurden3722 I never said they weren't built by humans, just not the Egyptians. I'm on the side of a lost human civilisation were the ones who built them and were far more advanced than the Egyptians.
Someone tell me how bronze cut granite. Engineers have tried. They went through ten saws in an hour and made it four mm. I don’t think it was "ALIENS". but it sure wasn’t Bronze Age technology.
I think they had rotary copper discs with sand as abrasive. Water-powered spinning. There is that abandoned block that shows the cut going off line; typical of a machine cut.
The pyramdis where casted, look it up. This is the only 100% logical method for bilduing such monuments back in those times. They only reason why this thought isnt more commonly known, is because the scientist who published it back then has been belittled for believing in an unpopular opinion.
Never-mind that "Aliens" could have been, another set of humans within the milky way galaxy like Mars. Which would explain the hieroglyphics depicting humans flying spaceships. Also never-mind that they DO depict this. Hate that "theories" automatically means "falsehood" within the general population too, and therefore do not equate to a "critical mind."
@@oljo0527 Only in the aspect that graffiti is art. Most graffiti today, is not the same as the hieroglyphs, which aimed to be a book to be translated to help others understand the meaning behind an entire civilization. See the difference?
@@derkaturka I will simply refute this with the fact that graffiti in its original context is words written down in a public area. Take for example the Tri-Via notice boards in Rome, where people would type such colourful comments as "Celadus the Thracian makes the girls moan!" There are writings in hierohglyphics which, while not in any of the chambers, constitute this exact form of graffiti.
What about signs of using advanced tools - drill holes, saw marks on granite? What about Serapeum boxes? What about scoop marks in Aswan quarry? What about those protruding knobs on granite blocks and the same distinguish technics of building stone walls present on multiple ancients sites around the world? What about all the precision that would be hard to achieve anything similar presently? The list goes on.
There’s a scientist who believes the pyramids might’ve been poured like concrete. He’s done tests on the stone and it has stuff in it not found in the site the rocks were taken from by the Egyptians. They added other stones and stuff. He attempted to recreate it and it wasn’t exactly the same, but pretty close
@@richmadlin4245 I agree and I’ve worked with pouring concrete and it just makes a lot more sense. I’ve thought more about it and they probably used wood or some other degradable thing that was destroyed over time to mix and move it in. Hence why we can’t figure it out. They made pottery so they already had the knowledge a little bit and I don’t see how they wouldn’t of figured out they could also do that with a few more steps and create something more massive.
@Tate Delton I guess, but I do think these granite blocks were cut and moved. If you heat it up to its liquid form, it turns into obsidian glass when it cools down again. Furthermore, granite is a composition of several mineral types, and you can see the veins of different minerals in the stones the Egyptians used. Compelling evidence could change my conclusion, but for now I think it best fits with the stonework we observe.
They also showed a bunch of you know white people in the illustrations I mean I think by now we all know that Egyptians were literally the opposite of white or European...there were actually black Africans behind the truly brilliant architectural design and structuring of those pyramids.
The Jews, at the time Hebrews, really where slaves in Egypt it said in The Torah, it is proven across history as the same as who created the pyramids. So do not dis inform about how Hebrews were not slaves of Egypt because they were, and denying that is an insult for my people, the Jews across the world and history.
After watching this a second time I still don't understand how they got a 6k-30k pound block onto rollers and boards (which how did they make those btw) and then if the rollers are under a board, wouldn't the board just fall off the rollers once pulled slightly forward?! This was NOT a clear explanation!!!!!
Mario Collepardi, an Italian Prof. (studied specifically the architecture of the pyramids,) emphasises that the Pharaohs brought the limestone dust available a lot in their area, mixed it with normal soil. Then they added water from the river Nile and lit fire to a temperature up to 900 degrees Celsius. This heat gave the stone strength and a shape similar to natural rocks. Basically to build massive buildings such as pyramids they mainly used the normal mud available near the River Nile. Then mixing it with water, placing it in templates and finally lighting the fire until it solidifies and stones are shaped the way we see today. This idea does not cost a lot of effort because workers will not carry and raise any stones, all they have to do is to make the templates in which they pour mud and transfer mud from the ground and raise them in small containers. Each worker carries a container with mud to fill the templates. Then comes the process of lighting fire until the stone is shaped and stayed in place, making sure by this way that there are no spaces between the stone and the other. Using this method helped in keeping the pyramids safe for thousands of years.
🤦♂ There's always one............ Garbage in --------> Garbage out - it never grows old. As an aside. Nothing is quite so sad as shilling individuals in the comment sections of YT videos. That is like stapling flyers for a jumble sale on electrical poles.
Imagine 20,000 years ago aliens showed up and had some giant ram pump style irrigation constructed. And then some time later they left or were killed or something. And then 10,000 years later all knowledge of what happened at that point was completely lost but some Egyptian pharoahs came along, took the credit, and demanded they be buried within them.
More guesswork illustrated by cartoons. If these people were ignorant cavemen, this is probably how they would have built these pyramids and it probably would have taken 20-30 years. From info I have seen, I believe they knew far more than we can imagine such as a liquid which softened stone so it could be easily sliced like warm butter and pushed against the next one for the tightest fit possible. They also could have used vibration to easily move the massive blocks anywhere they wanted. We are ignorant of the exact method they used, but we are probably closer to caveman mentality than they were.
Funny how they always reenact the pyramids being built in the desert, when it was completely green at the time of construction. Makes it even more incredible how they did it 💯
Explain how they pulled 70 ton slabs up a ramp. Cant be done. Explain how they got those slabs out of a quarry and onto a boat . Explain how they didnt have boats big enought to carry those slabs.
First few seconds into the video and already the pyramid presented on the screen is not The Great Pyramid (Khufu) but the smaller one next to it, Khafre's :P because it's in the middle & it has residual limestone on the top, unlike The Great Pyramid :D
They might have used sledges but in the main they just had loads of workers pick up the blocks and carry them. Simplest answer. Just use the power of huge numbers of workers rather than complex mechanisms. Prove its not the easiest way
The meter and second are rather arbitrarily defined (though there are several criteria after which metrologists adapt certain units of measurement, it is still ultimately arbitrary). So are the coordinate magnitudes (due to them being measured in meters and degrees), therefore any numerical coincidence is just that, a coincidence. If we wanted, we could set the speed of light to be equal to 1 (this is actually a thing, called the natural system of measurement, very useful in theoretical particle physics and quantum field theory), and scale everything accordingly, and nothing would change, except we would work with smaller numbers. Aliens couldn't have known what humans would deem relevant in a timeline in which they supposedly interfered by traveling into the past, and thus could not have predicted the coincidence.
So you think that in France in 1779 they based the entire metric system and all of its units around the nature of the existence of the pyramid of Giza? Also in 3rd century BC Eratosthenes also based the first system of universal geographic coordinates on this as well? That’s literally 1 in 1.5009464e+17
You completely misrepresented the alien theory. Also nobody in the world can even definitively say how or why the pyramids were built. Pyramids in reality is still nothing but guesses
My pyramid theroy: Ive always thought we only know so much about the past, we know about the dinosaurs, how ancient civilizations lived ect, But what if millions of years before the dinosaurs and everything we know there were humans who evolved much further than us and had technologys we are yet to invent/discover. Meaning they had the recorces to build things like the pryamids intended to last Melania into the future, perfectly aligned with the stars ect. Maybe the ancient Egyptians didn't build them but worshiped them as they was already there? and the reason we've found no reminants of this civilization is because it was simply too long ago, now thousands of Meters below ground or just completely gone by now. I'm sure someone will prove me wrong but it's my humble theroy. (Excuse my grammar)
Hey genius, u make fun of other hypothesises while making a video abt pyramids that u know nothing abt. 0:30 That's not the Great pyramid of Giza. That's the Pyramid of Khafre. It's identifiable by the remaining white limestone layer on top. It's the second tallest and largest pyramid. 471ft original height, 448ft now. It only looks tall bcoz it's built on higher ground. Pyramid of Khufu is the Great pyramid and the tallest. So many views. Misinformation spreading like wildfire.
But wait, what if we understood it all wrong. Hear me out, what if the pyramids were carved from the ground down and the land around it was leveled down around it? If you really think about it, it makes total sense and im not sure but wouldnt that be a quicker method. And for the people saying but where did the stone and all come from that the pyramids are made out of? Well what if they somehow used lava to put in the ground and make the stone already be there for the carving. I dont know just a theory and thoughts!
There is absolutely no way the ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid of Giza. It perfectly mirrors the Earth's dimensions at a 1:43,200 scale. No Egyptian could have known that. It's why I believe in an advanced human civilisation that was lost in history.
It’s so obvious I said it in another comment section, Isaac Newton wasn’t born and gravity wasn’t invented yet, people could float up and bricks weren’t as heavy
Ya I say that all the time about breathing, like people could just walk into water and stay there for as long as the want until some chad took a breath
Some people: The pyramids were built by aliens Some other people: No, the pyramids were built by israelis The Egyptians who actually built the pyramids: 👁👄👁
@@Valravne728 actually normal Egyptian workers built the pyramids they weren't even slaves and kings used to give them food and wheat for their work...
Its not even about that. Some parts of the pyramids are literally impossible to construct without any machinery. Literally tons on top of the king’s chamber.
@@radubancescu9557 sorry i believe only in scientific logic .. you can see the evolution of the pyramids by your eyes .. step pyramid then bent pyramid then red pyramid then many other until they managed to make the masterpiece of giza.
The only thing that changed my perspective on all the alien theories is. Math originated in ancient Egypt, pythagoras went to Egypt and learned Pie and spread Maths through Europe. Where did it come from?
I think the reason most people hated history in high school was because teachers hardly ever pointed out the parallels between historical events and ideas to our everyday lives today. Kids would always say "why do we have to learn about stuff that happened so long ago that has nothing to do with us, now". The simple animation of things makes history seem somewhat more relatable than flipping through a textbook full of black and white photos and arguably the most important trait to exercise while studying history is empathy; putting oneself in the world of the past as best as possible in order to draw a connection to where we are today and why
I loved history in school as well as science. I read something about history and/or science daily. What I disliked in school was English clas. Et wuz noht intressin$
The problem with pointing out parallels with modern day is the fact that if we look at stuff with nuance, we would realize that history never really went away. We are doing a lot of bad historical practices, only under a different name and scheme. Even in modern day, we have concepts like countries doing a modern version of colonialism under the threat of sanctions, invasions for unfounded fears, wartime brutality (except with more destructive weaponry), co opting modern day slavery (by doing business with countries/companies which have such worker abuses), denying pay to workers (wage theft), and so on. To portray our modern day society as a "beautiful, advanced, society", we prefer to look away from the evils. That is why no one wants to draw parallels from history, especially when teaching kids.
Yeah, and thia is the reason history is flawed, we do not have parallel between events... Fww people even realize that the Egyptian empire lasted so long, Cleopatra counted the pyramids at Giza as ancient ruins
modern people have become so accustomed to relying on machines that we've forgotten how much humans are actually capable of doing with little else than our own two hands and feet, and some clever ingenuity..
@@danielvictor3262 you cant lift blocks that weigh thousands of pounds with just humans the pyramid is hundreds of feet in the air thats barely possible with any machinery we have today
i wish we could see first hand what they really looked like, lined in white limestone, capped with a gold top. even more impressive than what we see now.
Me too, my father studies alot of egyptian mythology do we went on the retreat there. I got a chance to lean on the sphinx, it was a really cool expierence since I heard your not usulally alowed to get that close.
Just a 30 ft reduction in hight over the course of thousands of years is amazingly incredible especially considering even that is due to vandalism. The Egyptians truly were master architects.
@@CristanioPeweyyy Imagine engineers and workers worked for decades to build an astonishing structure only to be called it was made by aliens 😑. Dude you are underestimating old age peoples. Their are hundreds of structures that made modern men think they are made by aliens. Search about ajintha and ellora caves of India.

@@perfectlypurepinkpompompan3467 pretty sure he would’ve explicitly mentioned that he was LITERALLY talking about “graffiti”, especially when you think that graffiti in its true definition may not be a common topic of discussion when talking about Egyptian history.

@@josueochoa9267 Developing the technology needed for a SmartPhone is different for building pyramids, the smartphone is more about experimentation and analysis while building a giant pyramid is a result of coordination, machinery systems and transportation technology
Imagine building a pyramid your whole life just for the future generations to call it Aliens build it. People just underestimate what we are capable off.
the pyramids are way too exact to be built by human slaves the stones are measured so perfectly that you can't even fit a razor blade between them it's impossible to make such precise Cuts even with technology we have now
Wayne Williams Its not about race, I'm black and with the facts that are mentionned its literally impossible that humans built those things. You do realize that even with the technology we currently have we still can not even reproduce it. So how tf do you think slaves were able to do that.
Only fools are saying that. But they're older than we think. They are not tombs and they can't be cut with copper tools. That's been proven. Yet normal people like you don't know this and still you trust liars. Search up Brian Forester and Graham Hancock. They're closer to the truth than any of these supressors.
The food you ate today, were you there when it was grown? I'll guess thats a no. So by your low IQ logic, it was never grown simply because you were not there. And automatically, it means your food was created by aliens...and not grown/raised by a farmer. That's how detached from reality your low IQ logic is.
@@datcheesecakeboi6745 We don't know how they were built. Simple as. We don't even know who built them. or when exactly they were started. We haven't been to their centers. There is zero information regarding stone cutting and transportation and build. The tables don't address those things.
Because we have an overwhelming majority of evidence suggesting they clearly built them and close to absolutely nothing against. (Like the speed of light, or orions belt theory)
It is also worth mentioning that there are a lot of small pyramid remains in egypt some collapsed and other demolished that indicate designers were experimenting first with how to build them which would make sense since learning is a step process.
@@michaeltrumph121 Based on the fact that I'm Egyptian and I know my country's history. The first pyramids were built with a steps like edge(it looked like a deformed triangle) . It was just 6 huge steps, however, the pyramid of Giza was the first pyramid to have a "smooth" like surface, but yea The pyramid of Giza and the 2 smaller ones ( we call them khofo's and khafra's pyramids) aren't the first pyramids ever built
There's a lot of omission in this video. How some of the stones were cut from a quarry hundreds of miles away, and how the Japanese group were successful to replicate the methods that were of the ancient Egyptians, but failed to actually replicate the pyramid in its entirety. Ultimately that was their goal and could not deliver. Not to mention the construction of the other pyramids after the 3 great pyramids were lackluster and some just incomplete.
There’s also the glaring problem with this explanation, in that Egypt was a bronze-age civilization. You cannot cut Granite with bronze tools, they are far too soft. Yet, the Egyptians were able to do so with pin-point accuracy.
@@oljo0527 "machine-assisted jet of water", or else it would've taken years. And no, copper is much much more malleable than iron, and is no where near as strong as it. There's a reason why bronze and iron ages are separate

The Sahara desert flips every 20,000 years due to the angle of the earth and sun. At one time it is a lush rainforest, but now it is a desert. The northern Sahara used to be more fertile aswell. But the Romans, who and abused and degraded their soil to not grow anything but grapes, took it over and irrigated it with salt water. The salt built up and made it so nothing could grow. Leading to more desertification.
@@subnoticaloutdoorsman i can guarantee you that the romans grew more than grapes in egypt, it was the breadbasked of the empire aka the one place where they got the majority of their food from. they ate more than just grapes so they grew more than just grapes
I was thinking to myself, I’m curious exactly how the pyramids were built because in recent years there’s been a lot of more discoveries… I hopefully infographics did a video… THEY DID!
Try watching the video again and see what they actually talked about. So little of the video was dedicated to the actual building of the pyramids, it was mostly related history to stufff related around the pyramids 🤦🏽♂️
For one moment i thought: Why does this video only have 1150 likes ? Then I looked at the upload time and I noticed that it was uploaded 51 minutes ago 😂 ... kinda early
you show how the rocks/boulders were moved and assembled but not how they got them so high. dragging the rocks is one thing but hoisting them up so high is left out
