Decrypting the Secret Hieroglyphs: the Pyramid of Pepi II I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY

With its myriad mysteries, ancient Egypt continues to work its spell. The necropolis of Saqqara, roughly 30 kilometres from Cairo, holds one of Egypt’s most fascinating treasures: the pyramid of pharaoh Pepi II. Few know of it as it is closed to the public, yet it holds the vastest collection of texts of all currently known pyramids.
For the first time in 90 years, teams from the international archeological mission in Saqqara open and decipher this wondrous tomb. How did the Egyptians build the pyramids? Their walls are covered in hieroglyphs, but what story do they tell?

This video needs a sequel, in fact demands one! No, it needs two or three, or more. Well done!!

[@AnthonyCain-ik4yi]

Wonderful video. Good research. Visited Saqqara, Dahsur and Giza. Just about every pyramid open contains stone sarcophagi proving these are in fact burial tombs (all robbed). Hiroglyphic tomb inscriptions are only present in the last two dynasties of the Old Kingdom of this area.

[@crispincain5373]

I would love to hear far more hieroglyphs decrypted....

[@topcat32349]

I decided to study hieroglyphics as part of my retirement. It’s not easy but after the third book, I’m beginning to read them. If you’re interested one good start is a Great Courses program. The only fault is he allows use of vowels which are not done by most texts.

If you have ever read The Emerald Tablets I, Thoth writes: “Built I the Great Pyramid, patterned after the pyramid of earth force, burning eternally so that it, too, might remain through the ages. In it, my knowledge of ‘Magic-Science' so that it might be here when again I return from Amenti. Aye, while I sleep in the Halls of Amenti, my soul roaming free will incarnate, dwell among men in this form or another.”

[@bweaverla]

It is unnecessary to duplicate the feats of the past when you understand how they were originally accomplished. We have made small models of the pyramids and other buildings with the same tools used originally. Descendants of ancient Egyptians have shown us how to do it. This is the work of Egyptologists who have also written books about these things so others can know about them.

I'm not sure your comment matched anything in this video presented. I apologize but I'm not quite sure you watched it. This is some valuable information that is kind of new. Btw, this video has been put together extremely well.

[@OVTraveller]

A wonderful bit of Egyptologist logic: " they are pyramid hieroglyphics because they were found in pyramids". Please next time you produce a video, visit Egypt and employ a guide who: can translate your hieroglyphics; knows his Egyptian history and refuses to speculate about the role of the pyramids. Just returned and visited the lot.

[@Burtlocker]

Because guides that can translate hieroglyphs are ofc very common, wonder why they didn't think of that....Why didn't they just stay home and google the subject?

[@markgarin6355]

There is a reason they title 'egyptologists' separately from archeologists. So that everyone knows ahead of time that they don't have a clue. If every mustaba has a secret shaft in the center, it's not a secret..

And your credentials are......what? Sounds like you have an opinion, like most others that comment, but you know more than egyptologists in general why? I guess everyone can have a disparaging opinion but unless your actual knowledge is greater than theirs..well, put up or shut up.

@@garydixon-ug6dk put up what? I have read/seen hundreds of 'documentaries' attempting to explain all sorts of stuff related the history of Egypt. You tell me why egyptologists have their own title.... No one else does...they are all anthropologists. And for all of their history...they never deciphered the hieroglyphics.,.they can't tell when anything was actually made or in some cases who sponsored the construction. I agree with anyone that it is quite challenging to reassemble the history of such a long period, but the constant dog and pony show of delayed releases, discrediting of 'outsiders' with viable questions or postulations and unreliable experts is staggering.

Nonsense. How can it be the oldest elevated building in history when there is a pyramid under the Atlantic ocean in the Azores. They didn't build it under the sea. The sea level rose and it became submerged. That means not only did the technology exist but a perfectly dated pyramid is undeniable. It has to predate an absolute minimum of 12,000 years. Your logic is like saying Kilroy was here means he was a great toilet builder. The Egyptians knew there was something special about pyramids and decided to claim them. The graffiti inside them was clearly pit there as an after thought. It's ridiculous to believe they could build in perfect alignment make everything completely square and yet they fail to draw a straight line when it came to making their marking lines for glyphs. They couldn't make their writings last they have literally fallen off the walls. They were not part of the original construction. You are taking two entirely different cultures and histories and combining them. Then to make your narrative come true you are feeding us a story as if itvwete true without any proof. The only proof I need is there it is irrefutable. It's the Atlantic ocean. Complete proof that everything you said is nonsense. A fairy tale. History born of guesswork. Generational misguidance.

[@justinfufun5483]

@saoham659 Yeah, that is in a nutshell the core of the problem. People opening books believing them to be true accounts. We all knew the universe was 13.7 billion years old ... until we found out it wasn't. Same thing with pyramids we all knew the Egyptians built them until we realised they didnt. They literally couldnt and still cant.

[@justinfufun5483]

@saoham659 those are burial pyramids. Copycat structures. Following the leader. Following the myth. Probably reading the graffiti too. They prove my point. I never said that men didn't build pyramids I just said that the Egyptians didn't build the great pyramid they just stole it.

The first Egyptian pyramids are perfect. Even step pyramid now been proved it wasnt bent it was covered in caseing stones. The great pyramid you can see in few places one being the megalithic skeleton. You can see the megalithic 45degree angle stones that meet at the entrance. So on top is big sandstone casing the newer caseing isnt near as weathered as ones that are at top and bit at the bottom. Thats three different structures. The megalithic on top sandstone and on top of that the caseing stones look brand new. The pharoas inherited and claimed them as there own ramsis 2 is well known for it. The two 1400 ton statues that used to sing in morning. The tombs,,, underground in saqqara. Its the further you go back the better stonework. That means the evolution theory is backwards in egypt hahaha 🤣🤣 who do the quackacadimia think we are stupid. Thinking people especially engineers like me laugh when were told the stones at Baalbek were dragged with hand made rope. Its a joke just rewrite history. Real history.

As humanity progresses in the sciences, it becomes painfully obvious that mathematically, physically and physiologically, none of these great buildings could’ve been built by humans. 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. Academia could’ve maybe saved itself if it wouldn’t have insisted on the 20 year mark….but hey 🤷🏽‍♀️ Honestly though….do you think we could pull off the incredible marvel of the precision we see at Giza today?

On the other hand I do happen to know that the Azores pyramid is an uncomfortable truth that you cannot explain and that it throws all supposed history out the window because it is in the wrong place and the wrong timline for you. My case is proven without any more than a photo or a sonar scan and yours remains nonsense. No sense. Doesnt work. Is wrong. By the way, would you care to explain the weathering on the base of the great sphinx. Well you cant withou abandoning the given historical timeline. Like rings on a tree that prove when it grew the weathering does not lie about when it was flooded. I don't need to read any of your approved books to know that the Egyptians didn't build it because it was weathered by conditions outside of their timeline. They merely defaced it and messed with it. By the way there was another giant sphinx right there but as it was already decayed beyond any use to them they didn't claim to build it. This is further proof that your approved reading is all nonsense based on other nonsense. I have now given you several indisputable facts. You will have absolutely no sensible reply to or explanation for so I have complete faith that you will either ignore me or insult me again.
