Egyptologists Open a Newly-Discovered Pyramid

Excavations in Dahshur have revealed something exciting: a brand new pyramid, discovered beneath a local quarry. Shortly after, archaeologists find the passage that leads into the heart of the tomb.

The only logical explanation is that the contents in the tomb were stolen by the very same crew that sealed it. The thieves were 4,500 years ahead of us. EDIT: Yes, the burglary happened a LOOONG, LONG time ago. If not the crew itself, the thieves had to be from that era. They took the time to seal it up and put the stones back on, indicating a fear of being discovered. This can only make sense within an active civilization. After the last of ancient Egypt fell, the place has been a barren desert for thousands of years.

So true - Egypt is not s suitable keeper of the tombs. No ! There is not one shred if evidence to show that the Pyramids were built as tombs or Monuments.. It is about time that Egypt was relieved of the Duty as Keeper of all that you see in Egypt. It is a well known fact that there is a large scale construction under the Pyramids and the Sphinx .But Egypt will not let anyone near it. Why? Everything that is associated with these areas up and down the Nile belong the rest of the world. As with all of the other sites and countries that have ancient structures and burials It is time that the world knew. Or do they know and won't let it out. Either way the decision should not be for Egyptd alone to make. As of now the Pyramids are Charging Points for passing Space Mobiles. Eon - where are you when we need you most.

@Sauron Merciful Royal burial chambers prior to the end of the 5th Dynasty were undecorated; only with Unas did they begin to inscribe the burial chambers with the Texts of the Pyramids. Those two pyramids he showed were built by Snefru at the very beginning of the 4th Dynasty, assuming this structure is in some way connected to the two royal pyramids (which seems dubious to me as they're so far away). As to a non-royal tomb, you'd expect a mastaba (assuming, again, we're talking about a structure from the Old Kingdom). That newly found vault is no mastaba.

But you are also correct that there isn't any real evidence to support any of the other theories about the pyramids. This is part of why the pyramids are so interesting: they're a huge mystery.

If this was actually robbed thousand of years ago it's one of the most mind-boggling things regarding history I've ever seen. It's cool to see a very ancient item in a museum and it's cool to see pyramids and all but they were all meant to be that way. Something about this being a "robbery" and the person was just doing their stuff and probably never thought someone thousand of years ago would find it is crazy. We can see all the debris and little details, this is a whole scenery that was frozen in time. It's like it going back in time and seeing everything exactly as it was left by the people who last touched it thousands of years ago. Crazy stuff. They probably already messed everything up but I really wish this remained untouched and sealed with glass or something so people could see for themselves this piece of history.

[@varyolla435]

Tomb robbing was not always random. Often it was part of a conspiracy - as this was. This tomb was likely robbed by the workers/guards/and likely the priests as well. As to leaving items in the ground that risks destruction. Factors like humidity and groundwater along with insect infestation can destroy what remains over time such that leaving them in place would see them eventually lost. Preserving these items in a museum allows us to study them and hence learn about the individual. They wanted their bodies preserved and their name remembered = and removal and preservation accomplishes this.

[@williamrosa8577]

@@varyolla435 Thanks for the information! And thanks for correcting me, it really is a bad ideia to just leave it on the ground, for a long time anyways. And I'm not against museums or preserving stuff btw haha. Just had a thought that's all, guess not everyone can be priviliged to see stuff firsthand like this just as it was thousand of years ago or at least the closest to what it looked like. Maybe someday we can work something out so everyone can experience it too. I just can't help but wonder if they could choose, they would rather just stay where they are instead of getting their burial sites pried open and moved to a museum so they can be poked and studied. There is the preserving their history side though which possibly justifies. Anyways, human nature to be curious and explore will never let us ponder upon that haha.

[@tmazer99505]

It's impossible to find any new artifacts in Egypt or these areas because in the early 19 hundreds people were searching these areas and were paid millions of dollars to collect these artifacts and then they buried them back after they took what was inside of the tomb.

The bodies were frequently spirited away in the night, to secret tombs, before sealing, because grave robbing was a major problem.

Phoenix I know, think the answers somewhere out there to be discovered. Did some research into the Turkish place where they found huge monolithic columns & precise cut stones., it was after a joe rogan podcast, all very interesting & knocks lots of the past thoughts off. So the archaeologists & everyone involved accounts are being brought into question.

[@varyolla435]

Abrasives and lots of elbow grease. lol! So understand a few things: 1 - pyramids were mostly limestone which is not very hard. Thus it can easily be cut and shaped and polished smooth using flat blocks along with an abrasive such as sand or corundum - perhaps mixed into a paste using clay. That is not much different from what people use today = "soft scrub cleaner". 2 - granite on the other hand is of course harder. This is why then you see it used sparingly in pyramids and then only in basic shapes such as blocks or sarcophagi. So they would either hammer out the basic shape using things like dolerite pounders and fire to soften the stone or else granite can be cut using copper saws along with an abrasive as noted. The latter is slow going but it is possible. Afterwards it too can be polished smooth. 3 - now look at tomb depictions such as the famous depiction of artisans at work in the tomb of Rekhmire. There you see a craftsmen checking the plumb of a stone block using an Egyptian square. So by systematically cutting, sanding, and measuring they could obtain blocks with plumb sides and flat surfaces. 4 - lastly is understand that very few of the total blocks represent #3. Most of the blocks of the pyramids if you look at closeup photos of them are little more than crudely hewn chunks of limestone of approximate shapes and sizes which were rapidly dropped in place leaving gaps all over. In places you can also see where they dumped globs of gypsum mortar to fill in large gaps and/or bind together small chunks of rubble as filler. So the pyramids are in truth a core of closely fitted blocks to create the inner chambers/corridors surrounded by stacked rubble which was then encased in closely fitted and polished white Tura limestone to "make it look neat". So you must look at the totality of what you see and not merely cherry-picked snippets. People who only focus upon those few closely fitted blocks are missing the forest for the trees as the saying goes. Have a nice day.

[@DMWBN3]

Vary Olla excellent, that's thousands of years of questioning by millions all cleared up. Thank you & good day.

Only very little of these stones were precisely but. It's an annoying myth that many people take as truth that whole pyramids were done with superb precision. *They are mounds of more or less approximately cuboid stones.* Only the most important parts were grinded to high precision, such as the burial chamber walls, hallways, etc. It wasn't easy, but it could be done in reasonable time by lots of effort.

@@dogdooish If water got in there there must be gaps. You can slip wire into a gap to the other side. You can just lift with a jack and slip wire through or the cord across, or use a hook to pick up one end. I don't see it as a problem. The problem is they can't see obvious signs, but most professionals and scientists I come across aren't that smart. Which is why you hang around with good engineers, who can actually figure things out.

[@sierradasilva7262]

@President Donald J Trump Well it's true the pyramids in Sudan are small compared to Egypt's. But Sudan claims that their pyramids are much older than Egypt's, yet there's no enough evidence to support their claims. BUT it would make sense that the pyramids started in Sudan and moved up. I mean you don't start the pyramids without huge amounts of failures. So it would make sense to make smaller ones first... the first airplane ever built would never be the same size as a 747.

Older hieroglyphics and pyramids... same Gods... their religion came from them not the other way around. Egypt was its peak. And Egypt is a Greek name given to them. Not what they called themselves

[@k.d.barrthedoor6092]

What if the 'Bent' pyramid is only the very tip-top of what we see, and the base is actually a 'monument' submerged deep below the sand? And what if all pyramids are actually the same thing i.e. monuments of enormous height buried during the great deluge otherwise known as Noah's flood?

[@machupikachu1085]

IIRC, the bent pyramid has miles of chambers beneath it. EDIT maybe it's the stepped pyramid. One of them has massive tunnels underneath tho. Pretty fascinating.

2:37 how is there just a wooden box here in perfect condition for the last 4K years

[@varyolla435]

Luck mostly. Many tombs in Egypt suffer from insect infestation so that termites consume wooden objects. Also in some places the groundwater is near the surface so that in deep underground tombs you have high humidity which also promotes degradation of mummies from bacteria and wooden artifacts. This tomb however was not so deep down and was largely surrounded by stone whereas deeper tombs at Dahshur can run as much as 30 meters below the surface cut directly into the bedrock. So the conditions here were dry and the tomb avoided insects = ergo the box survived much the same as Tutankhamen's tomb contained many artifacts which survived. It just depends.

Pyramids being chemical processing structures makes far more sense than tombs, I think. Though this three year old video is still pushing the tomb theory, I'm glad more recent studies have been shifting toward a more reasonable explanation. When looking at different pyramid structures, all the various rooms and passages seem to have purposes when you consider chemical processes (liquid and gas channeling, use of heat and pressure, etc.), and the minerals and metals left behind make sense as well. You really just need to think practically, and it just makes way more sense if this is all industrial, agricultural, etc. One of the coolest things to me is the theory of sono chemistry being used, which explains certain resonant chambers. Honestly, all the weird design choices make so much sense to me, now that I've looked into this. I encourage others to research on it. It's truly fascinating.

For goodness sake when will these people stop saying these Pyramids were tombs, when will they start taking advice from engineers.

[@xjunkxyrdxdog89]

Please cite evidence that supports your assertion. The currently available evidence suggests they were burial tombs for the pharaohs. If you have credible evidence suggesting otherwise, I would love to see it.

[@johnmqueripel2367]

@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 "The currently available evidence suggests they were burial tombs for pharaohs" have you seen this evidence? I don't mean to be disrespectful but you are taking a bit too much for granted that the available evidence is satisfactory. Let me ask you are few questions, was there ever a mummy found in any of the pyramids? why are there no inscriptions in the pyramids, why the almost impossible design and magnitude? how long did they take to construct and how was the construction accomplished? where does it say in the Egyptian records that they were constructed for the particular pharaoh? Why do the pyramids look nothing like the known Egyptian tombs? There is overwhelming evidence that the pyramids were not built as tombs besides the obvious ones to anyone who has visited them. The pyramids can only be explained with reference to engineering and science, unfortunately the archeologists do not have those skills. If you are really interested then read Christopher Dunn's books as a start.

[@xjunkxyrdxdog89]

@@johnmqueripel2367 asking questions isnt citing evidence. Do you have evidence or do you just like making assertions?

[@johnmqueripel2367]

@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 Perhaps it’s you who needs to ask questions, where is your evidence the pyramids were tombs? I don’t think you understand that Egyptologists are making assumptions when they say the pyramids were tombs, not because they have hard evidence, which they don’t. Why don’t you ask any you know to answer my questions? The pyramids can only be explained through engineering not archeology, unless you are an engineer it might be hard to understand that. There is NO evidence that the pyramids were used as tombs that is a fact. There is so much contrary evidence that the pyramids and many other artefacts in Egypt are not what the Egyptologists say that it would be a good idea if you did some research and learn that citing some archeologist is only meaningful within their area of expertise which the pyramids and other structures are not. There is hard, measurable and quantifiable evidence that the pyramids cannot be attributed to the timeline given by the Egyptologists, whereas all the Egyptologists can provide is assumptions, if you are actually interested you should look into this a bit more, otherwise just carry on believing whatever you are told.
