Your videos and the story of the pyramids, is like a series that you want to bingewatch, but can´t because the episodes have not been written yet... There are so many cliffhangers, I WANT TO SEE THE NEXT EPISODE OF "The tale of the pyramids" ASAP! I feel like I am back in the "good old days of tv" where you had to wait until next week to get another episode, except that the next episode is not comming next week, but in a future near me...

With all the new discoveries at the pyramids, it's nice to see the politics have at least remained the same. 'Same sh!t, different discovery' isn't that something like what those archeo types say?

[@HistoryforGRANITE]

It was truly a joy to work with Ancient Architects on this research. It's rare to get compelling new information on the Great Pyramid, and sorting it all out was thrilling. Stefan Bergdoll is rightly praised for finding those new testimonies from 1837. I personally have other ideas for what's under the Queen's Chamber floor, but I'll save those for a future video. How lucky am I to have Matt as such a gracious and brilliant collaborator.

I just read the original description written by Visino (google is as great as it is creepy). I think I found a small inaccuracy in the English translation of his despription of the Queen's Chamber. It may change the interpretation of what he saw. On page 133, Visino writes: "Vom Eingange links, an der östlichen Wand, größtenteils in der selben, steht der etwas kleinere Sarg aus Marmor, offen, leer, einfach." - Left of the entrance (into the QC), on the eastern wall, largely inside of it, stands the somewhat smaller marble coffin, open, empty, simple. I think that is pretty much proof that he had mistaken the square part of the tunnel in the niche for a sarcophagus. He continues: "Unter demselben wird gegenwärtig nachgegraben, und es war bereits ein marmorbedeckter Raum sichtbar, welcher, angestoßen, hohl erklingt. - Under the same (the coffin) an excavation is ongoing and a room covered with marble was already visible. When knocked, it (the room) sounds hollow. My interpretation is, he referes to the discovered room sounding hollow, not to the coffin. That means he most probably did not see the inside of a newly discovered room. He saw a limestone block (or several) and believed it was the outer side of the wall (or upper side of the ceiling?) of a hidden room because it sounded hollow. I think it is possible that what he saw was a ceiling blocks of the underlying corridor. If Vyse really had found a corridor and had to cover it up again to prevent the discovery from getting stolen, it is bitter irony that now, of all people, Zawi "I don't believe in radar" Hawass is about to steal it.

[@atih5146]

Your interpretation sound right, and it makes perfect sense.

[@Itsjustme-Justme]

@@atih5146 Thank you.

[@kaiwhatley2136]

If your interpretation is right ,then that makes sense, whereas the interpretation in this video doesn't,... Though I'd be abit sceptical of google translate! , (it isn't always accurate) PS, thanks for the info.

[@busydadscooking001]

Have to be careful not just in the translation, but in what words may have meant in common usage 150 years prior. Even today, the word "coffin" can refer to a niche or any enclosed place for burial of a thing, whereas "sarcophagus" has today a much more limited meaning. In other words, I agree ...

[@Itsjustme-Justme]

@@kaiwhatley2136 I'm German, I don't rely on google translate for a German book. Only for proper translation to English I need a dictionary here and there but I don't use google for that purpose. Mentioning google, I meant that I easily found Visino's book with google. They digitalised a 19th century book that almost nobody has even heard of and you can read it for free. How great is that? The creepy thing about google the mysteriously matching content do you get shown sometimes, even when everything is done to stop the spys. The old German lettering slows me down a little, but in its printed form it's quite easy to get used to it. The bigger challenge to me is translating 19th century German to English. The phrasing was much more formal back then. My English is far away from being perfect and I don't know enough about old English phrasing that would match the phrasing of the original text. It's especially difficult in this case here, because even small inaccuracies can mess up what Visino really wanted to tell. Others commented that there must have been a stone coffin inside the niche. The floor of the niche is about 1,5 m wide and about 1 m deep. A coffin for an adult human does not fit in that small room. At least not when you assume that "largely inside" means that at least 3/4 of the coffin was standing inside the niche.

FInding new published papers is called STUDY. It is not new data, and study is NOT RESEARCH.

[@thomaslanghorst5738]

I watched until 17:16 right now, so I'm not sure if you will address this at a later point, but I doubt it. First of all, I'm German and read Visino's text you showed onscreen. that said, I must make clear that Visino didn't say that the "coffin" sounded hollow but that he was talking about the dug out chamber beneath said "coffin", so in this regard you are absolutely right that the hollow sound of the "coffin" is irrelevant. And I don't know why he would knock on the sarkophagus anyway, since he clearly states, that it is open, which obviously means "without a lid", and empty, which he can see, because there's no lid hindering his view. And before I go on I must say that the book we both are quoting of was written based on letters send by Visino to a priest in the Bavarian town of Passau, with Visino back than - as stated in the titel of the book - being royal Greek field chaplain and garrison preacher in Athens, so that the whole text might possibly be a translation, most likely from latin, especially since Visino sounds rather like an Italian than a German name. Then again was in 1840 the King of Greece a Bavarian = German who would most likely rather take a German than an Italian priest with him to Greece, and it is possible to have an Italian name while being German at the same time. So what I am saying is, take the following with a grain of salt. Visino uses in the case of the Queen's Chamber the same word for sarkophagus as in that of the King's Chamber, namely "Sarg" = "coffin". If your theory, that Visino meant the outer part of the niche in the Queen's Chamber, was correct I would expect him to use a wording that would make the differences between both sarkophogae obvious, maybe something like "Grabnische" (literally "burial niche") in case of the Queen's chamber. And he says that the "coffin" is standing, too. I'm not 100% sure about English, but in German you can't say that something stands if there is nothing that actually can stand, even if we take into account that German did change quite a bit over the last 200 years. The whole text would have been written in a completely different way. And let's not forget that Visino says that the "coffin" stands "largely inside" the wall, he doesn't say "completely". I've only seen photos, but to me it doesn't look as if anything would stick out of the niche. And he can't mean the whole niche either, because this would clearly be much *larger* than the "coffin" in the King's Chamber. tl;dr: I don't agree with your theory about the sarkophagus in the Queen's chamber.

[@thomaslanghorst5738]

27:41 Visino, again, did not just see the marble-coated room, he also banged against it, which most likely means the marble, and heard that it sounded hollow.

[@edfu_text_U_later]

Thanks for that clarification, I also agree with you. This whole layperson thing is a bit silly here, surely these 2 people are relatively smart. The niche in the queens chamber and the sarcophagus in the Kings chamber look completely different. Basically you are calling them stupid by saying they can't tell the difference.

[@ashby4211]

If the hypothesis that the sarcophagus in the Queen's chamber was actually just a carved out niche for a coffin it is unlikely that Puckler would have said there were two simple sarcophagi. As a layman he would surely have distinguished between the two different structures and a layman would not call a niche a sarcophagus in my opinion.

[@MegaCharns]

yeh how did they come up with that theory?? it makes no sense at all didnt the guy crawl down the corridor they rekkon is the second sarcophagus?? soo silly people

[@CS-zn6pp]

Agreed, a niche burial is not a sarcophagus. Maybe a sarcophagus was in the niche below the tunnel entrance? Not sure how wide the lowest step of the vaulted area are but if it was a simple box sarcophagus then it would only be 7'ish long. They don't seem impressed with it so it could be have been really plain. Tbh, HV could have removed and sold the sarcophagus or simply broken it up if it was in his way.

[@craftycasting9578]

they may have broken it up to patch the hole in the floor/walls nice flat pieces just a suggestion based on nothing

[@Itsjustme-Justme]

Pückler was as familiar with the burial practice of Christian noble men as was Visino. I think it is possible that they both came to the same conclusion for the same reason.

[@kaiwhatley2136]

Agreed

Another fantastic video. I've followed your channel for quite some time and it has been quite the journey: from fun speculations and fringe theories to some of the best documentaries into the ancient structures of the world. goes to show that your open mind and attention to detail really pays off on these sort of subjects.

[@General_Confusion]

One of the big mysteries for me, is why the Egyptian authorities are so adverse to explorations, especially none destructive ones. With the technology and experts available, it still seems to take years to get permission to do anything, if they even allow it. Then if something is allowed they often don't want to publish the results. It's as if they value the mystery more than the knowledge. Unless they already now the answers. .

[@Olatiness]

I'm assuming it goes down to money. They sure know how to milk the cow. Also, they want to control the history of Egypt and manipulate the findings.

[@stargo2931]

They want no hint of evidence that the Egyptians were not the builders of the monuments.

[@miltonreid6740]

Don't forget Egypt has an Islamic culture. Islam finds large monuments heretical by nature. False Gods if you like. They once tried to destroy the 3rd Pyramid for this reason, hence the gash down the middle.

[@General_Confusion]

@@miltonreid6740 Well I'll give you that they are happy to destroy other cultures monuments, but they didn't rush to melt down and destroy the contents of Tutankhamun's grave site, who the Egyptians believed to possess divine powers. You don't get more heretical than a living God.

[@peterhofmann665]

Stunning. Pückler indeed was one of the most read authors in 19th century Europe. Almost forgotten today, but in the old days, he was a superstar. The inventor of travel-journalism. While in Egypt, he was under protection of Pasha Mehmet Ali. And Pückler was very much looking for attention - like he wanted to find the source of the nile! Needing money all the time, as he was living much over his financial limits. So Vyse's fear might have had a reason. BTW: Pückler is buried in a huge pyramid! His body was dissolved in acid and then the remains placed in that pyramid. And he was obsessed with the oriental lifestyle, dressing like a pasha at his home palace in Prussia.

[@dazuk1969]

I don't think that anyone could mistake that area as a sarcophagus...or box. A box is a box is a box if you know what I mean, and that looks nothing like one. There probably was a sarcophagus in the Queens chamber and somebody removed it. Sometimes the simple answers are the most likely ones.

[@Sphinx2000]

I agree. If someone knows what a sarcophagus is, that’s exactly what they saw and not referring to an opening to a tunnel. Maybe the sarcophagus was too heavy to move during excavations and got broken up? Hence no longer recorded in future visits.

[@dazuk1969]

@@Sphinx2000 They were well aware of what a sarcophagus was back then. There was a sarcophagus in the Menkaure pyramid that was removed in 1838 by the British. Alas, the boat sunk in the Mediterranean on its journey back to the UK . Thanks for reply.

But lets go with the layman who didn't know what they were looking at idea and he misidentified what that area was. As soon as he got in the Kings chamber he would said "ah, that's a box, coffin, sarcophagus..not what I saw in the Queens chamber". Last, if you go to Egypt you will see sarcophaguses everywhere, and there were way more back then before they were plundered. Just like today, everyone knew what they were and what they looked like.

Just wondering if Vyse's claim that the excavation was only 4 feet deep could have also been a diversion of sorts. If anyone came to check in the same spot and decided to dig down 4 feet and go a little bit deeper just in case they would more than likely come up with nothing. However if Vyse had stated he dug to 8 feet you would check to that depth plus a bit extra, possibly exposing something if he intended it to be hidden ?

[@johannwolf1]

definitely

[@johnnorth9355]

In the immortal words of Mick Aston - I think we need to start digging.

[@reina4969]

I think there was a second sarcophagus built into -- or part of -- the well covert. I think to get under it, and behind it, it was totally destroyed because it was BUILT INTO the wall and couldn't be slid out of the way. I think the rubble in those photos are parts of it, but I think the rest of it was used also as backfill for the whole dug under it, and the rubble from digging out the whole in back was placed over it. That is why the rubble doesn't look like a broken up sarcophagus, really, it was only one side of one.

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

I believe the pyramids have more chambers than we think in them. Not just the Great Pyramid of Giza. These sites need to be more accessible. In Egypt most of these sites are closed behind locked gates. Edit: Also let me say something I have believed for a while. Hawass knows more about the sites in Egypt than what he is telling us. Such has hidden chambers.

[@susannebrunberg4174]

Yes, Hawass knows a lot. He was also under the Sphinx. Two weeks, two weeks! And said when he came up: "There is nothing to see"... Sure, Hawass... Lol, lol

[@tplyons5459]

How are the bats getting in and out????

[@REPHETIC]

"potential staircase," has also been reported. My research suggests the east wall niche was the entrance to and from the early structure, not an ornate dysfunctional masonry. Corbelled stone serves a singular structural function, the potential when and how, during construction, the east wall niche served its function is far more fascinating than stone boxes, etc.

[@damo5701]

Another possible explanation is the chamber below happened to be uncovered on the day when Visino visited and Vyse was not present but the workers, or those in charge of the workers, for whatever motive, kept it from Vyse and filled back in part of the dig. Hence Vyse's recording the shaft was only 3-4 foot deep and not 8 feet deep. Perhaps Vyse was never advised of the find. It would make a good movie script. Ancient priests or their descendants had infiltrated the digging team, and sworn to keep the secret, managed to hide it from Vyse. Another point that does not make sense is the "bumping" of the sarcophagus, if they were referring to the early part of the tunnel in the wall. How do you "bump" the hole? Even you mentioned you would like to "bang a fist" on the squared off section, not to bump it. Bumping would imply something was there to bump into.

[@dorkfish6663]

Wow! Great video. Loved the "key points" section to wrap it up, it really helped laying out all this new information. I am so excited by this mystery and am fascinated we are still finding buried writings and there is still the chance for new discoveries!!

[@andrewpusey6339]

Great deductive work yet again. From reading that description a few times I think things are slightly different. He says "From the entrance to the left of the eastern wall, largely in the same, stands the somewhat smaller marble coffin". I take this that the coffin was standing on the floor inside the niche with most of it inside the niche. The passage in the niche being above the coffin. "Excavation under it is presently taking place", from this I think that the coffin is still in place and that in front of the coffin the floor was being excavated. at some point the coffin was removed from the niche or it was broken so that the excavation could go back further into the floor of the niche. "Above this coffin, a low shaft led into the eastern wall". This is the passage in the niche that goes east. So this shaft was above the coffin, again suggesting that the coffin was on or possibly part in the floor at the bottom of the niche. "I crawled in on my knees and elbows. After about 30 feet, it led south". Now this leading south didnt appear correct, but examinig a plan of this tunnel and excavation it does have a small excavation slightly to the south, although not a passage, maybe there was rubble or a stone to the north. "Now it went upwards, at first more spacious", again examing the plan at about 30 feet it does open up a bit above and is wider. "But then so narrow", again from the plan, it does indeed get narrower again until it reaches its end. If you search for "Sophie Dukes Pyramid", there is an article entitled "Khufu's Great Pyramid: CAD Model Status" that contains these plans. I hope this is of help to you Matt (P.S. I have tried to send you a message on FB Messenger about something else that you may find interesting)

Just thought I'd mention a publication that might help. Published in two volumes. The Library of Entertaining Knowledge from the 1830s. Entitled British Museum Egyptian Antiquities vol 1 1832, vol 2 1836. The chapter in Vol 2 on the great pyramid is quite facinating and lots of mentions of chambers and lost areas. Much info on various explorers of 18th and early 19th. Might be of interest to you. Thank you for all your wonderful research and programs.

Could be like the room under the stairs. Let's hope that there are further excavations, so we can find out one way or the other

Great video mate, this is the way things worked back then, discovering something was, and still is big business. I'm convinced after watching this with all your evidence of possibilities that it was discovered covered over and dismissed as nothing so they could return and reap the rewards. I'm sure Hawass has put together the same information as yourself and obviously has additional information which has convinced him it's under there too. Now Hawass is going to take the credit of figuring it all out. Glad you got in there first so he can't take all the credit. I found the History for Granite channel a few months ago and i agree one of the best channels I've seen for a while which is based on real evidence, knowledge and a deep understanding of construction and geology, with you both working together I can see a lot more exciting discoveries with fresh eyes deciphering the literature and images without the made up ancient Alien and super sonic technology foundation which many are basing their crazy theories on these days. Keep it up pal.

[@stevefaure415]

This is great stuff. You know, if we were ever given the blueprints for the pyramids we'd probably realize how much more is being invested into it's construction than was ever intended. Monumentally impressive as an architectural and engineering feat. And monumental in its brute construction. But I think to make these things just a kind of dumb necessity to a bigger purpose (take your choice here of 'real purpose of the pyramids') maybe it's just so much fiction and hope and wispy photos. Really everyone, end of day it is built in a necropolis. There is a sarcophagus in a room. If it's in fact a tomb instead of a water pump or electricity generator and alien landing base does this in any way detract from the monumental feat of construction and engineering?

*Note, GeoRadar is a GPR (ground penetrating radar) manufacturer, and not the technology itself, and I’m also fairly certain they do not provide the service. I would like to see the survey results. They should provide screenshots of the data with explanations. A detectable void under the surface should be easy to spot for experienced technicians and service providers. The depth to the top of the void would also be determinable within a few inches. There are also telltale signatures indicating whether it’s man made or not. Do you have a link to the survey report? It is a bit frustrating for those of us who are experienced with a lot of these technologies to continually see lots of claims in books and videos regarding said technology that supposedly support claims with zero evidence shown.

Could any of us confuse a square hole in a wall with a sarcophagus? I doubt it.

On Page 121 of John Athony West's Traveller's Key to Egypt he gives his account of this chamber, and items inside. Prof Robert Temple has made in depth studies of all accessible structures in Egypt with permission of Hawass (many still closed off), so perhaps you should try to discuss with him your theories. I had the Great pyramid all to myself during the Revolution and stood for a long time, alone and uninterrupted in the "Kings" and "Queens" chambers. You could feel a "heart beat" type background sound (it was January so not aircon). There were ladders in place up to the Relieving Chambers, but I was too chicken to go up in case someone took the ladders away.

Not sure how anyone can argue that a tunnel can be mistaken for a sarcophagus, especially if there is an example of a large free standing sarcophagus nearby.

Good show but I still think it is unlikely they found a secret chamber or corridor and covered it up. That said, I am not saying there isn't such thing under the queens chamber, just that I don't think they found it before. I just don't see how all the people digging up the chamber would take it to their graves without the word leaking. Still, it is certainly worthwhile to dig up the excavation and run a GPR around the pit before filling it up and actually restoring the floor. I kinda feel like they should restore the queens chamber anyways, it is kinda like putting up the Stonehenge stones that fell in relatively modern times while leaving the ones that fell before the site was first documented. Restoring the floor is a good excuse to dig up the rubble and document it anyways. :) Even if the shaft does not reach a hidden chamber it is very possible that GPR (ground penetrating radar) could find something under it that wasn't discovered in the 19th century and it isn't a very costly excavation either.

[@Taz6688]

It was my understanding Zahi Hawass was no longer directly involved with anything to do with the Pyramids, why on earth is he giving lectures in 2022 about them, why is anyone taking any notice of him, he is the major reason we have been in the dark for so long, he has dismissed, ridiculed, obstructed and denied much of the requests for further exploration, he has been the single obstacle stopping everyone except those who repeat anything he says. The man is vile he has held back any research, I can only guess for his own self aggrandizement, and yet here we are in 2022, and he is still front and centre. Sarcophagus could have taken and easily sold to anyone for funding, it all sounds cloak and dagger, find something, get worried others may take your find, bury it and tell everyone there is nothing there, why did he not come back and claim his prize, too many people out to claim some fantastic price and get their name down in the history books.

Just a small historical linguistic correction for your fascinating KZbin presentations. When "learned" is used as an adjective, as in "learned professor", it is pronounced "ler-nid". In fact in the 1830s, apostrophes were often used for the verb to make the distinction, as in "I learn'd about a learned gentleman".

It's likely already been re-excavated, and, if not, would anyone seriously expect transparency in the findings if they go against the mainstream?

I also think that was skipped over without any more analysis. The presence of bats would indicate a connection with the outside that could be verified by the presence of dropping’s from them. Whatever else that caused him to retreat with gun 🔫 in hand is again a link to other ways in or out. My theory would be that if there is a food supply from bats 🦇🦇🦇🦇then it is likely that a predator such as a snake 🐍 could have entered by a gap small enough for bats and then grown too big to get out again.🤔

Amazing work, research and commentary! I'm thinking about the pyramids at Dashur/Saqqara, and beginning to speculate that they had to be built later instead of before those at Giza. The Grand Gallery designs did not have any evidence (so far) of being connected at their bases w/a corridor to a "Queens Chamber", or even a QC, or the necessary "niche" located only in GP at Giza, and not in any other part of the Bent, Red, Step pyramids. But who knows what more exploration will find at those locations? If Giza was already there and later (2,400 bc +-) pharaohs broke into GP and only got so far investigating it, or the other 2, maybe they would have wanted to impress the "Gods", or the architect(s) wanted to impress the pharaoh, by making 3 GG in one of them w/o having a clue what they were for, because I'm beginning to suspect a huge "Niche" maybe necessary for the purpose/function? of the GG. The QC alcove w/a 30' "corridor" above the floor leading east then turning south, then how far?, and up in same direction is a great discovery; one I hope Mr. H will be prepared to investigate along w/whatever awaits below the alcove/niche's entrance! ($ is Z's priority, I'm guessing.) The possible "corridor" or marble clad "chamber" below the niche, aka Prince Puckler/Priest Vasino is very curious, and may lead to many very exciting possibilities. And Zahi, not the seemingly jealous, arrogant, irresponsible and dishonest? Vyse, (a different kind of Z soul-mate, no?) is going to get all the credit for it... along w/Dormion, Ancient Architects, I should hope. Does Hawass have access to your (and History for Granite's) research books/photos/documents? Or have you heard from him after this video? I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't digging out the space now, or arranging to close off the QC as soon as there's a slower tourist time/or when the Grand Museum opens. Wonderful to have this platform available, knowing how well-researched/great collaboration, and careful, thoughtful response to the discoveries/ideas are fairly and intelligently presented every time. Thanks again.🤯🤗

[@passerby9123]

In this video, your comments on the sarcophagus in the queens chamber swiftly moves from totally speculative to an opinion based on matters of fact, with this opinionated fact now being backed up by the guess of your new friend on the Granite channel, while you both seem to have overlooked and/or ignored the earliest description given of it as a smaller sarcophagus than that of the Kiing's chamber. Your work has often been marred by these enthusiastic leaps of faith in the past, Matt, where you have decided to place your trust in a vaguely supported theory that requires you to ignore so much else, and for me, this is a pity because it would be far more meaningful to try to explore and understand why establishment figures have changed their tune and are now pushing for the existence of a chamber below that called the Queens chamber.

[@TempA-jg4qw]

Very well said. This content is already interesting enough without the extrapolations. The History for Granite channel has also suffered from some excess of enthusiasm in jumping to conclusions. Too bad because otherwise both bring a very fresh account of these excavations that some of us only remember vaguely from the news or history books.

halloo, Matt! great info here, as always. the possibilities abound. the idea to re-dig that excavation makes the most sense, to me. as you said, it's not going to hurt a thing, and, it might put this particular controversy to rest. you really got the alternative people going with this one. there are some valid points of discussion but, like the mainstream, it's all speculation. excavation and research is needed to find any "proof" of any claims, regardless of which side they're on. someday, perhaps? see ya next time, friend. nuff said

Wouldn’t be the first time that not everything was told about a discovery. Someone once spent a few weeks in the tunnel at the back end of the Sphinx and said there was nothing down there. How do spend that long looking at nothing?

[@svintosvinto]

Well, in my experience, different lighting of an space can change how you experience it hugely It is hard to imagine how different it was (compared to modern days) to explore these chambers only with fire on a stick or the lights of 1800-1900 technology sorry for words not so good, me no sleep but need

[@longcastle4863]

Excellent presentation. As someone who has not really kept up with all the research on the great pyramid, it's surprising to me that it could still contain mysteries after all this time.

[@seantierney3]

there is also the possibility that there was another sarcophagus or parts of one in the chamber. could have been broken up and used to fill in the hole. interesting to note that part of the filling was decayed particles of black stone.

Your best video yet. An impressive, beautiful piece of work. This hole may now be re-excavated. If that happens, it'll be (at least partly) thanks to you. You've created something more than a KZbin channel; you've created something that can change history fundamentally.

[@triskeliand]

Hmmmm, Compelling. Yet all the evidence provided with the ground radar, my only question is why the Muon scanning project hasn't detected anything below the queens chamber? The problem being, argumentatively speaking, is that if there is indeed a hidden chamber beneath the Queen, then the whole muon project is going to be thrown out the window. Why wasn't the ground radar that suggests a corridor confirmed with the data set by the Muon team that equally suggest a void higher up? I guess both are possible. We shall wait and see.

[@Reptilia12]

I could be wrong, but I think the results of the first muon scan were limited by where they placed the sensors, i.e. The sensors placed in the QC might have only been "looking up"?

[@speedsquaredgmailcom]

Hello, I would like to compliment you for the enormous amount of information in your videos. They are easy to follow, and I enjoy the topic and supporting information combined with your opinions. Even more I enjoy not getting every off topic tidbit thrown in for useless distraction. I have viewed your video about the “cave” on the great pyramid. I’ve seen a few images of the exterior where air shafts emerge, and can see an anomaly on the south side roughly opposite the main entrance. I hope that you can do a video elaborating on some of the visible from exterior anomalies. Thank you for your work

[@ast3663]

Pückler also writes in that book on page 32 that a sarcophagus without hieroglyps was found UNDER the pyramid, but empty and damaged. On side 33 he writes that the allegedly found hieroglyphs found by Vyse maybe freshly painted. on page 36 he again writes that there are TWO sarcophagi, 'steinerne Kastensärge' means stone box coffins. He also went down to the well shaft and relieving chambers and subterranean chamber. Strangly, his overall tone of his pyramid descriptions give the impression he was not very impressed .

[@mikeheffernan]

Excellent stuff, but I don’t buy the Q chamber cavity being mistaken for a sarcophagus.

[@anthonyhettman2506]

Thx for going back to the old style of video much better!!!

[@blerghflurg4327]

No one ever called a hole in the wall a sarcophagus.

[@Voltar78]

1. Visino's description clearly indicates that the coffin was small, empty, set in a niche, work was underway next to it, and the coffin 'standed' so it was separated from the niche. 2. The coffin could have been invisible before, if it was part of a niche and was simply removed from it, then destroyed during the work. 3. The coffin could also have been pulled out of the room below the queen's chamber. 4. If Vyse approached the German prince with such reluctance, perhaps he had hidden the results of the research from the public, and the tunnel was filled up and the work was to be continued at a later date.

We all know the pyramid is just tomb so it only really needs two chambers. Nothing mysterious about it. They got bored quarrying lime stone so they used granite on some parts just for fun. The angles/shapes of the internal shafts and chambers are just random and don't mean anything. The dimensions are just random and anyone suggesting they relate to the size of earth and other mathematical constants are just imagining things. Just boring old tombs, everyone knows pyramids are just the easiest way to stack blocks. All ya need is some copper and sand for quarrying and some doirite balls when that gets boring. 😉😂

Might be worth exploring the definitions of the word “sarcophagus” at the time of the authors. Words can shift in meaning over time, and the connotation we have today might not be what they had back then. Or alternatively, look into the translated words to see if there are alternate substitutions that might shed different light. Perhaps “sarcophagus” wasn’t the best word to use to translate to English, but seemed more “fitting” by the translator in the context of the pyramids.

If you just think about the shape of our galaxy you can imagine it got its shape by turning many times... The thing is that at the position of our sun ONE complete rotation takes some 220 million years... When you look at the three pyramids on the giza plateau there are a few first observations. The erosion is extensive and in my view more than 5000 years old and the building blocks and construction not inline with the abillities of humans 5000 years ago. With these observations and knowledge of the age of our sun and galaxy it is not absolutely crazy to think that the great pyramid is older than 100.000 years....maybe a million years. It is built the way it is to stand time and must have been worthwhile building.

[@danpetitpas]

Keep in mind that the pyramids were covered in white limestone until the 14th century.

[@Za7a7aZ]

@@danpetitpas yes..i understand where you want to go with this. That part of the world must have more of its share of earthquakes..So the protective white stones must have been falling from those pyramids long before people started to built Cairo with them. The erosion is so severe that there must be more going on than the mainstream egyptogists are claiming. I would like to accept all they say is truth and fact but with applying common sense many of their conclusions do not hold water.

[@danpetitpas]

@@Za7a7aZ I don't quite agree. The brownstone used to build the pyramids is pretty soft. I live in a city with lots of brownstone buildings and they show a lot of wear and tear even after only 100 years of being out in the elements. The pyramid blocks also were not "dressed," meaning they were just roughly hacked out of the plateau and tossed in place. The Sphinx, on the other hand, shows at least 5,000 years of weathering and we know Khafre at least restored it at that time. So I don't think the pyramid blocks look that weathered, but it's not possible at the present time to date stone unless it was buried, and I do agree with you that the pyramids and the Sphinx could be a lot older.
