What's Inside the Egyptian Pyramids? 

Whoever wrote this video trolled the hell out of you. No mummies have ever been found in the pyramids. Google "how many mummies have been found in the egyptian pyramids" I cant believe you're spreading disinformation... bet you work for the Chinese Communis Party. Jk but seriously pyramids are not tombs google it

Dude you looked like you wanted to spit that bite out.

I recommend @HistoryforGRANITE for objective analysis of the pyramids, including why the bent pyramid could not have been a "failed" pyramid.

What’s the point of paying for premium to avoid ads I click your videos that I’m a huge fan of and the first thing I see is magic spoon I’m gonna have to have a read over what the policies are on paid subscriptions because I’m honestly tired of paying for something to avoid advertisements, and then just get advertisements anyway it’s rather frustrating. It happens to turn out to be true then I guess litigation. again I am sure it won’t be against you personally but I am sick and tired of ads. That’s the whole reason I purchased RU-vid premium for the third time.

Same. I hope Simon is back doing Geographics soon. The new guy is fine and I would watch his channels but I like Simon doing all these.

​@@Rydonatteloyea clicked into one and went "who the f is this guy? "

It's the second time they've done it too.

@@BBtheKing86 it's really not an easy mistake for anyone other than a complete layman.

I keep seeing this mistake being made on many of the videos I've watched about the pyramids of Giza. Makes me want to pull my hair out, what little I have left 😂.

​@@party4keeps28 ​Regarding _"anyone other than a complete layman", what do you specifically mean? Everyone whoms field of study is not _Egyptology?_ Anyone whoms field of study is not specifically Egyptian archaeology, Egyptian Pyramids, or Pyramidology? Anyone whoms profession does not fairly directly involve the pyramids of Giza? I would suggest it's actually a _very_ easy mistake to make, for the vaast majority of the public. Including serious script writers that do good quality information gathering/research. And if you do it once you're very likely to keep doing it. There's many well reputable sources which would be reasonable to turn to, that have gotten this wrong, and even if they were made aware they still haven't gone back to revise or correct those errors in their former content/publications. That goes for written and visual media both, including errors in the content body or contextual information of publications like stock photos and videos, GPL media, 3rd party commercial media etc. Especially if in your info-gathering, your first exposure to this data is from a good quality, reputable source that happen to get this wrong in that particular piece - that's something that would logically be so basic that there's no particular reason why you'd need to be particularly sceptical, distrustful of or intuitively need to fact check that piece of information. And therefore, if or until you get exposure to an equally or more reliable source that shows contradictory information _(and_ you actually pick up on it, you might not notice the discrepancy if you're looking for information about something else) - then you're naturally gonna "keep going with that" piece of faulty information.

@@BBtheKing86 You're correct, over the years they have both been called that. But the Great Pyramid is in fact the northernmost on the Giza plateau and is the "Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops)". And we need to correct this because we all have a responsibility to put out the correct information and not just what seems to be right. The pyramid is a great feat of engineering and Construction and is the only remaining wonder of the original 7 wonders of the world.

I heard that mistake as well. I had to stop "wait, what?" My engineering brain knows 1m3 of water is 1000kg and rock would be around 2.6 more dense. So yeah typo or oversight. It would be approx 2,600 kg

Is it really $60 per box? I guess $54 after the promo, but still...

@@angryhairpeice That can't be correct.. Surely?!

@@stigolumpy No. I was mistaken. It's more like $10, but it is $54 for an order (5 boxes?). Still far too much for cereal.

You can find the cereal at some Walmarts in the US as well.

​​@@angryhairpeiceI think it's five boxes for that price but use it as a treat rather than an everyday food and it'll last 💜

@@Crawfishness that's got me good 😂

could also be a rather long chain he is shackled to

I mean sarcophagi existing in the pyramids would be your evidence as well as the documented names of the pharaohs who commissioned the pyramids construction. You think they made them just to look pretty? The fact that we have records of attempted grave robbing of the pyramids going back thousands of years would attest to they had things worth robbing at some point. For reference, when the Roman Empire was at its peak the period these pyramids were constructed in had been over for several thousand years. There's conjecture that the pyramids were robbed *by other Egyptian rulers* long before other civilizations even thought of robbing them.

Of course not, they were robbed long ago. Even the oldest written records we've found talk about the robbers tunnel, etc.

​@party4keeps28 who would want to steal an actual mummy?

⁠@@johnirving8037 You could ask the British Museum (or plenty of other places I am sure) or the people who used to grind up mummies to make Mummy Brown paint!

The mummies had valuable amulets and other jewels layered into the bandages, it would make sense to just take the body and extract the jewels at a later time. Other tombs have shown the damaged embalmed bodies ripped apart to get at the amulets inside.

The channel is named 'Today I Found Out' not 'Today it was Discovered'

Glad someone else said it and realized it too. I was super excited to see if Simon would add updated info but nope, just the same (clearly Bullshit) established narrative that has been spewed by fakers like the great Egyptian bullshitter zaheed hawas

@@colleenmarin8907 "Today I found out (incorrect information)"

Knew it wouldn't take long for a graham Hancock fan to show up...

😁

There are several mistakes in this video, showing pictures of one thing when speaking of another.

​@party4keeps28 so not Simon's fault. The writer wrote 2600 tons instead of kg and the photos not lining up with the words would be the editor's doing

Thanks! -Daven

tbf, they could have watched exactly one video from "world of Antiquity" and gotten almost all of the information with the exception of the last bit of the video. But also, if you're interested in the actual history as far as we know it and not conspiracy theories, seriously give World of Antiquity a chance.

Whoever researched this video failed. No mummies have ever been found in pyramids. And the book of the dead has never been inscribed in any pyramid.

​@@caodesignworks2407and no-one ever anywhere did this info before that video?🤔

@@bunyipdragon9499 That's not what I said.

I found out that Napoleon "dresses to the left". (As described in tailors parlance)

I read a book when I was about 12 years old, called "Pyramid Power"... for about a year I was convinced of this (and many other) powers.

came here to make this same comment. excellent creator with many great channels, but this video is a miss.

Ancient Architects is a very good channel, but nothing in this video contradicts any of the info presented in AA's videos. No misconceptions, and no outdated info.

It's already so common to see conspiracy theorists claiming that those blocks in particular would have been impossible to carve and move without aliens/super tech. And now Simon's added fuel by mistakenly claiming that they're a thousand times heavier than they actually are 😂

Most likely a scriptwriting screwup. It was probably meant to be pounds.

I was about to make this argument, thank you!!!

@MuchToDoAboutNowt@@Crawfishness Have to say i was blinking at the idea of a bit of granite weighing so much myself.. But 1 cubic meter of Granite is just about 27 hundred kilograms, give or take... So they clearly meant THAT.. 2.6 million kilograms seems like some big fucking whips.. whhips.. chool. @TodayIFoundOut A dress! Or at least a skirt.. Si. ( Like you'd review comments.. LOL

​@@williamwilson6499LOL!

Ur mom

I like that idea! IMHO-Clearly the Great Pyramid is more than just a ‘tomb’. Some technological marvel we have yet to remember/understand. (There is supposedly some evidence for energy production, with residues inside some of the shafts. Some people also talk about the piezoelectric effect with the ‘tuned’ quartz granite pieces inside. On top of that there are pictographs and murals inside the queens chamber, possibly depicting Noah’s ark and the great flood- but clearly a lot more going on* than the current ‘experts’ are willing, or able, to admit) *edit fixed an autocorrected in back to on

Btw- What exactly is a proto yucatal? And how do I find more about them? When I try to search I just get Mayan language and Mexico Yucatán results. Edit: Wow, when I put quotes to remove the Mayan and Mexico results I get -“No more results found for "yucatals".” somebody either doesn’t like that information or I’m missing the key context to be able to search for it correctly..

​@@HuheJasscalm down lol, I think it's a typo. Something called a yakchal was an early refrigeration structure from Iran but they only date back to 400bc. Also this is just some left field theory take off your crinkly hat. Who would be trying to cover up an ancient Egyptian cold cellar lol?

@@friedsensei Without going into crinkly hat territory, there is without any doubt things in the pyramids that the Egyptian experts roudaboutly admit they are not allowed to talk about, or confirm the existence of. Why would they cover it up? Who knows, but they are concealing some stuff for sure

That must be why the Great Pyramid wonder in Civilization 2 and 3 give you free granaries in your cities. Sid Meier knew all along!

🤦🏻‍♂️ No. That is if one group is doing everything one at a time. Obviously you'd run multiple teams. If you had 100 teams doing any one task, such as moving stone, lifting stone, placing stone, etc, each team would only need to do about 3 blocks a day to get you in the ballpark of being complete in 20 years. Plus, that math uses the incorrect 2.3 million stones number. And most of the stones are rough and filler.

@@AveragePicker Provide the mechanism by which 100 teams brought 100 stones simultaneously up the sides of the pyramid such that 100 stones arrived at their designated resting place at the same time. We'll go from there. Basically, un-bottledneck the bottlenecks for us.

@@AveragePicker What's the 'correct' stone count, different than the one reported on virtually every web site one can find on the subject?

@imacmill They don't have to arrive at the same time. 🤦🏻‍♂️ The point is each team would only have to bring up 3 or 4 blocks during the day and you could obviously run multiple teams lifting and placing at the same time. (Like when you get a roof replaced there isn't one person working on the roof one shingle at a time.)

@imacmill the 2.3 comes from Romer who estimated 5 million tons cut from the quarry, and then divided that roughly in half by an average guessed weight. It keeps the math easy enough but treats every block as equal. Given that there is a lot of filler it's a misleading number. Even if the number is more, it would be counting small filler stones, essentially large gravel/rubble, which could be transported and dumped en masse. It doesn't overly make a difference though, at least to me, because even treating everything as an equal block, it would still be doable with enough people.

As someone who has spent significant time at the pyramids in Egypt, I can confirm: 1) The Nile is 9kms away from pyramids of Giza 2) Pure water is an insulator, but river water is an OK conductor 3) The pyramid doesn't recharge your cellphone

@@BatCaveOz 1) so you think people smart enough to create an 8 sided structure that is only visible during the summer and winter equinox... Can't redirect water? 2)They call it a river, but, I challenge you to tell me what natural water resource does the Nile "river" come from? Or, is it salt water???... lmfffaaaooo WOW, and you consider yourself educated???????? 3)Something I can't prove, nore can you... So I'm 2-0-1 while you're 0-0-1 👍 4)I find it funny you liked your own comment. I'm proud of you that you don't not like what you said. So strong of yourself to do 😂🤦‍♂️

@@BatCaveOz o, yah... You're pretty oblivious to what the kilometers acronym is. KMS??? 😂🤦‍♂️🤔

Just do a Google search, there are retail outlets that carry it. I've seen it in a local health food store...

The triangle is the strongest shape in nature, it probably didn't take too long for ancient cultures to figure that out based on which buildings were still standing after monsoon season or an earthquake. Still neat though!

Technically speaking, only Egypt made actual pyramids. The rest of them weren't exactly a pyramid even though we call them that. Pyramid, meaning that they are 4 equal sides that all go up to a point. For instance, not one of the Egyptian pyramids weren't meant to be climbed, smooth sides would have been a major feature. TMK, all of the south American structures were built with stairs going to the top and were all built in tiers. Most of them having some sort of ritual or spiritual structure on the top of them. Similar structures in that they taper upwards, but they couldn't be more different in features and techniques. But so many conspiracy channels lump them all in together and then go a step further and obliterate the idea that the cultures that built them were often thousands of years apart. When you really start to look at the actual differences between the structures, you see that the similarities are essentially "tapered building" and nothing more

⁠@@caodesignworks2407Well you have Pyramids in Sudan and Nigeria and other places. Egypt weren’t the only people.

​@@00700556 The pyramids in Sudan came around 1000 years after the Egyptian pyramids and were influenced directly by them in shape and purpose. Though, only being around 100ft tall max and a lot steeper. Also made mostly from mud brick and stone. These are definitely the closest, but have pretty solid records. The Nigerian pyramids I assume you're talking about are the lost pyramids by the Igbo? They were more round and terraced and much newer.

You can change the speed of the video to .75

curiously, the pyramids are only 8-sided on 2 or 3 distinct arial photographs, made back in the days, when forgery was rampant. Unless you know of any new pictures? I have seen none, at all.

@ninthheretic2498 nope, sounds like I was fooled yet again 🤦‍♂️ and that really had my curiosity. How about the wet sand theory because I live right next to a beach and anyone who's watched a skim boarder face-plant when the surf rolled out from under them can probably attest to is that wet sand probably isn't the best way to slide around large, heavy stones...so what about clay 'tracks'? Dig a couple shallow trenches, lay down some thick U-shaped clay tracks, let it dry a bit and harden up, then when it's time to move a block, that individual with their pot of water wets the surface and off you go. What do you think? 🤔

the pyramid builders: new clues; check it out!

where are the pictures? With all the drones around nowadays; there should be some new ones; right? The jokes on you. @@user-lu3nn5ly3f

Kufu was not a pharaoh

If is interesting to hear somebody with obviously absolutely no knowledge of the history of egyptian writing making wild assumptions that something is "interesting" or "wild guess" .... How well,this is the internet.

There's a mass of evidence of Khufu and his family and the pyramid and other construction at Giza. Where have you been... The history of Egypt spans 4500 years, styles changed over time... in some periods they didn't write stuff on building, in others they did, nothing surprising about that....

There was a Pizza Hut right across the way from them when I visited in the ‘90s. It was jarring.

Thanks, this is indeed one of the common mistake being repeated everywhere "2.3 M stones perfectly assembled". The egyptian were not stupid, they did not bother to carve exactly stones just to fill not visible parts of the pyramids.

Beardless Simon is evil. I refuse to watch those videos.

Why would there be? There is no record of how they built the Sistine Chapel, or pretty much ANY great building of the world, because they used to pass the knowledge on through apprenticeships, and most people couldn't read and write. Graham Hancock is a charlatan. You would do well to remember that he gets all his information from archaeologists. The difference between an archaeologist and Graham Hancock is that archaeologists are scientists, so they don't spout wild theories that have no basis. If they did, Graham Hancock would be out of a job, because he is nothing more than a middleman, who takes the valid information discovered by others, and adds wild, completely unsupported theories to it, then plays the victim when his nonsense is pointed out as nonsense.

There's at least a hundred of GH videos on u tube, you can't find one...?

Yup, they used the Ark's power to, among other things, curse your entire lineage.

Lots of tourists. More seriously, lots of stone, some railings to hold onto and lights, gates - the last three are all modern. There’s nothing in them…at least back when I went in the ‘90s.

The movie of Krasniqi is an hoax (if your are generous) or a a scam (if your are knowledgeable). Please look at reputable sources and do not propagate fake sources. The history of egypt is interesting enough as it is, without the need of adding stupidities by tin-foild pseudo-archeologists !

That doc is complete nonsense

I've always wondered about what happened to the lid of the sarcophagus in Khufu's pyramid. It could have been of no interest to robbers. It was probably broken into pieces during the original robbery, as suggested by the broken corner on the sarcophagus. But where did the pieces go, who removed them, when, and why? Most curious.

Its never been confirmed exactly what the purpose of the pyramids was. But they definitely were not tombs as there has never been found an inscription of the book of the dead in a single pyramid nor has a mummy ever been found in one.

There is some recent research that shows when incorporating the underground aquifer the pyramid sits on and introduction of certain gaseous chemicals into the chambers and passageways of the pyramids it does yield an energy producing result.

Ialways though that the tin-foil pseudo-archeologist wrer not real humans but lizards from an outer galaxy tryinghat imite human behaviour they seen in an insane asylum.
