[@mrschnider6521]

i thought this was a joke, The pyramids were clearly not a burial chamber, that box doesnt look anything like thier carcophgus. No art, no records, nothing, its absolutely hilarous how they just make up all this crap as they go along. Teslas wardencliff looked exactly llike the pyramids and it was also built on a spring. The pyramid is made with special materials that conduct electricity and insulate also. It uses special stones and special slabs that are pizzio electric. There is many documentaries on this its been known for along time its amazing they are still saying its a tomb that has been debunked so long ago, these people are humilitating themselves. This was not built by the egyptions they did not have the technolgy to cut and move stone, alot of this stuff is from a previous civilization that was destroyed in an apocolypse, just a like all the other crazy megalithic stuff that we have no idea how they cut or moved the rock. This is a lost tech that we do not understand and the earth is much older than we think we are not the first high tech civilzation, were not even sure who exactly built the moon its kinda wierd how our moon is exactly 1/4 the size of the earth at the perfect distance to have total eclipses, and has a low enough mass to have these perfect seasons. The chance of this kind of thing happenign naturally is pretty hard to swallow.

A parbuckle has a mechanical advantage of 2.0 whereas the ancient Egyptian pinion-pulley has a mechanical advantage of 2.8 (MA=2.8) The simultaneous raising of blocks over all four sides is how The Great Pyramid was constructed within the documented twenty year time-frame.

In that it is explained that the pyramids were more like the Statue of Liberty, or Washington Monument, and meant to be visited, and seen from the inside. For the rich of course.

A mother's son cry, finding what's best for him

[@jbuch66koop]

Nothing is more convincing in a documentary, than having the people who created the documentary, continuously show the wrong pyramid they are referring too. Really? None of your editors could catch that you're showing the furthest most right pyramid, and not the "great pyramid"?

Did the Victorian British EAT Khufu? Did they eat Cleopatra? How many mummies are lost BECAUSE THEY ATE THEM 48:40

[@twonumber22]

Mummies were used for all kinds of crazy things.

[@DrachenGothik666]

Mummies were ground up for more than just patent medicines. They were ground up to make specific colours of artist paint. Look up "Mummy Brown". That's where most of the destroyed mummies went, was paint.

@@DrachenGothik666 I was under the impression that most of them were used as fertilizer.

A lot of these documentaries assume "simple tools." I think that actually tools, especially for measuring the placement of the blocks, must have existed but are currently lost to time. Cutting, measuring and weighing was more complex, of necessity to shape the outer casing at least. If it was all copper, that's interesting, but the exact nature of the tools is everything.

Trees do grow in Egypt, bud. They also had a wide trading network with other cultures.

[@susul.2812]

Tbh I feel like the newer Nova documentaries seem overly dramatic (in music and commentary) compared to the older ones. Think I might stick to looking up more of the older videos

history for granite, best channel for pyramid info

[@MossyMozart]

@susul.2812 - 'History for Granite' is a waste of your time. Have you considered 'World of Antiquity' with ancient Middle Eastern historian, Dr Miano?

[@JohnBock-nq9lr]

Exactly! An erosion of intellect not noticed by the masses.

They were around way before we came along. They were people. I don’t know if they know it now but they’re still recognized as building some of the tallest and most technologically advanced stuff to this day. Badass. I don’t know what happened to them. I dunno. Maybe give them some space. I dunno. Ancient Egypt is amazing. They did some S^^^

[@michaelmack3812]

Stating it is a tomb within the first 48 seconds is ignotantly arrogant. at this point. Likewise stating as fact that Kufu built based on the one piece of graffiti deep inside. This guy is slick and knowledgeable in tbe ways of the establishment and the wisdom to keep the status and income at the top of his peers.

[@AveragePicker]

There's more than one piece of "graffiti." ...not the only evidence either. I don't know what you are on about with "the establishment." Look, there would be far far far more money and fame in being able to prove some hyper advanced ancient civilization built them.

[@ifiwereme]

I think any existing art/artifacts from Egyptian times should be returned to Egypt. That’s where they’re from, and that’s where they belong.

[@twonumber22]

Some came from modern Sudan.

[@benbiagioni9906]

I believe the great pyramid was build around the internal chambers and up in concentric layers. They used leverage and climbed up while increasing the size... layer by layer, coat by coat. You know what I mean?

[@manqobafortune1853]

Huh?

[@brucebowers-c5y]

Please read The Riddle of the Pyramids by Kurt Mendelssohn. It will answer a lot of your questions.

[@falconinflight6235]

Excellent insight

[@lajinmark2084]

Lehner thinks the Egyptians were ramp builders more than pyramid builders. He had a ramp system that looked like an LA freeway system wrapped around Khoufu's pyramid. Ridiculous!

[@haitheory]

There is big money in Ramp Theories, but it was not ramps and known since 2006. The Documented Ancient Construction Method of The Great Pyramid Rampless Giza Pyramids construction using Four‑Lobe Pinion‑Pulleys When Giza Pyramid builders laid the first layer of limestone blocks for the Great Pyramid, all that was required for the second layer was a method of leverage using the first layer, and so on for progressive layers. Just as human-beings walk upward on steps, step by step, Giza engineers raised Pyramid blocks step by step, thereby using all space available over the entire Pyramid’s four sides progressively until completion. Tomb models of “Petrie rockers” provide evidence of the “four‑lobe pinion‑pulley” which surround a Pyramid block and step walks its load when hoisted. Giza Pyramid builders used the earliest known example of “Rack and Pinion” engineering technology, where the Pyramid consists of four sides of Limestone Racks (steps) and Four‑Lobe Pinion‑Pulleys engaged Limestone Racks (steps) with positive displacement when hoisted. Search "haitheory", website and videos.

I like how that British scientist is so sure she knows EXACTLY how they built the pyramids 😎

[@DrachenGothik666]

Nope. Just manpower & simple tools. No magic needed. Ancient Aliens is drivel.
