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.

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.

[@Phoenix-jd4yf]

[@DMWBN3]

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.

[@lajoswinkler]

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.

[@Alfonsodag]

The plain fact of the matter is you can't leave anything valuable lying around because someone will come and take it, regardless of the precautions. In the case of the Ancient Egyptian monuments, subsequent occupiers of the land stole the stones of the monuments because finished stones have value. They would steal the desert sand if they could find someone willing to buy it.

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.

When you start realising that pyramids are not built as tombs, you will start answering one of your most fundamental questions, what where they built for..

[@varyolla435]

When you base your conclusions upon flights of fantasy which are further being rationalized by a desire to believe a thing = then the sky becomes the limit for supposed "possibility" as everything which follows is only limited by your capacity to dream it up. Moral of the story: we have ample evidence to connect the pyramids to the ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and burial practices = making them tombs. Meanwhile there is exactly squat to support their being anything other than tombs............making such nonsense imagination run amok. Something new to think about...........or not. Better luck next time.

[@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.

They are - or at least what was left of them. Many of these Middle Kingdom pyramids were actually stripped of their covering stones during the New Kingdom. Pharaohs such as Ramses II sometimes cannibalized old sites for raw materials to build other things they wanted.

I never believed them to to be tombs of pharoahs either. Although they could be cult tombs of gods like at the serrapeum in saqqara. Then again human remains have been found in most pyramids, just not whole mummies.

[@DeuceGenius]

@@keith420840 what are they built for then? they arent very roomy. seems dumb to go to all that enormous amount of work for something that isnt the core of all their beliefs and spend their lifetimes working on this. you have to account for why they would spend this amount of effort into constructing the pyramids. why did they also mummify bodies to last forever? seems like a good plan to put a body that will last forever inside a giant safe structure that will last forever. seems like a btter explaination that whatever youre thinking. id like to hear your theories and why you so easily dismiss this one

What makes them think it was a tomb? None of the other pyramids were...

[@varyolla435]

lol! Failed history class I see. Also your might want to try just a tad of "critical thinking" in the future. You'll find is helps immensely with deriving conclusions from evidence. 1 - the pyramids are all located in and around = necropolises. 2 - the pyramids are found on the western side of the Nile. In the Egyptian religion the west was considered to be the "land of the dead". 3 - the pyramids contain sarcophagi the same as we see in other tombs. 4 - the pyramids all had at one time an accompanying mortuary temple which contained references to the Pharaoh associated with a particular pyramid. What need of a mortuary temple if not a tomb??? 5 - finally the historical evidence points to their being tombs as well. Numerous ancient authors wrote of them as such such as Herodotus and Strabo as but two. Moral of the story: I could of course go on = but the point is made. The totality of legitimate evidence all points to the pyramids being tombs while the Egyptian religion itself serves as the motivating factor for their construction. The Pharaohs built tombs and temples so as to keep their names "alive" so that offerings would be made to them as that was required - along with preserving your body - for existence in the Egyptian afterlife. Have a nice day.

It took 3 days, modern metal equipment and manpower just to lift one block a few feet to peek inside.

Absolutely ridiculous.

If you compare the interior design of the big pyramid at Giza with Nickola Teslas Wycliffe Tower they are nearly identical. I believe the big pyramid was capable of producing power. Look at how different types of materials were used in its construction. Some Blocks could have only been found a 150 miles away. The secret to free power for all of us could seemingly be in front of us if we can figure out exactly how Tesla describes it operates.
