Pharaoh "Just build me a giant pyramid, no big deal!"

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks glif, time and money, lol,Mike

[@K9Clyde]

It's no big deal at all.

[@pscottphoto2435]

The ancient Egyptians knew the secret was the get it wet.. get it wet so that it sticks.. no big deal.. not trying to make a project out of it…

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi glif, that's true, they filled in between the stones, big reason to keep all the bugs ,ants etc from entering the tombs and to make sure it stuck they wet it first, so I agree with you, thanks mike

I like your take on the pyramids, I agree with you. The entire place over there is a cemetery. I just now realized you have your own website. Pretty cool! (I follow your Amazon shop too (for some time now), going to pick up a hammer on there sometime soon.) Thanks for the video!

Thanks, it's a common sense, time and money, nothing more, thanks Mike

[@wayneisanamerican]

Nice music, I would also like to see you debate with someone like Ben in uncharted X as to his claim of precision stone work. Having farmed in West Virginia, I know a lot of the old timers did some really remarkable things when it came to lifting and stone removal in their fields which in a few more years, there will probably be people claiming they employed aliens. People back then had more time and patience and weren't a lazy as people are today.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Wayne, I seen the old timers raise houses with wedges when they were short of jacks, a lot of the guys are not stone masons or movers or quarry men, what they are doing is spreading fake news, lol, thanks mike

[@Don.Challenger]

And they didn't have 10,000 time wasting things to distract them from work when they got to doing it: no radio, no tv, no telephone, no quick car ride to the coffee shop, they worked right on the farm no commuting time, thirty minutes walk at most to the furthest corner, almost no priority work beyond milking a few cows, mucking out and putting down for the horses, picking eggs from a few dozen hens, bit of gardening and then the work of the season was their task.

[@adrienledoux357]

Hi Mike, I’d love to see the video where you carve a 100T diorite sarcophagus with bronze hammer and drag it into the sérapéum of saqqarah. Good luck!

[@SacredGeometryDecoded]

None of them are 100 t to begin with. The heaviest is 45 t and people been moving that with primitive tech up until the era of photography. To hollow out a box, and that's all they are boxes, imperfect without right angles or flat sides, it has been shown how to drill cut and carve the internal corners without steel, with better results than the Serapeum boxes. The narrow corridors are helpful because they give a place where the levers can be used without bringing in frames. They found a box still raised on a sand bed, and winches inside as well as traces of wooden rails. Good luck on getting out of the lost high tech thing. Just like the ancient stone masonry it's not impossible. You just have to put some effort in.

@@adrienledoux357 you want a photo from thousands of years ago, or you to see heavy stones being moved with " primitive" tech? If the second option then sure I can show lots of examples.

If you really can't find them, and you seem to care about it, then I'll send you links, lots of them.

[@Traderjoe]

I’ve been watching Uncharted X videos and am curious about what you feel about the millions of granite and diorite vessels they have found within the oldest grave sites in Egypt. These vessels have super fine circular marks that indicate that they have been turned on a lathe. There are tube drill marks and cavities board out in the hardest stone in the world that’s tremendously harder than any copper or bronze cutters. It’s really compelling that it’s possible that a much earlier civilization made these artifacts and the Egyptian people inherited them and claimed them as their own. The collapsed pyramid at Meidun reveals its core, and the walls of the core are so flat and angular that it looks almost like poured concrete. I know if you take quartz and rub it on quartz that’s you can scratch it and wear it down, but for them to take diorite sand and use it to wear a hole in more diorite still would have been tremendously time consuming. And I know it’s not like they had not much else to do. But it would have taken months and months of time to make a bowl that they’d just leave in a tomb.

[@jameshutchins3396]

I have laughed for years about all the ideas people have about how something was done instead of asking a stonemason. You see it everywhere, experts guessing instead of talking to guys that actually do the work. Working man always knows much more than society thinks

What's you take on the geopolymers and the UHPC? Reads like there is progress on making alternate hydraulic cements, not using the more heat intensive or at least critical thermal control to make Portland, chemically without the Portland. I need to read into more, though my little perspective was more of a silica glass like method... though different. UHPC is just neat in general. Not so easy to find the metal fibers though... or at least that I've found for small batch cast projects. Great detail as always! Appreciate the details sir. John 14:6

Thanks John, stone is stone, some is harder than others, that's all they used in those days. Thanks Mike

I always heard there wasn't any Quarries near the tombs? Did the slaves drag those giant pyramid blocks long distances to build them? Either way it is still amazing to see to this day, Thanks for sharing 👍 you always make great videos.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Steve, the whole Giza plateau was a quarry, thanks Mike

[@stargateproductions]

Its a commonly held myth that the pyramids where built by slaves when in fact the workers where paid and feed well.

[@ReddoFreddo]

I like how a stone mason and presumably someone who's not an archeologist, comes up with his own, completely plausible theories about archeological sites inspired by personal experience. The idea that the pyramids originated out of a habit of putting bigger and bigger stones on a grave to prevent people from looting those stones sounds to me like a plausible, down to earth, acceptable opinion a lot or most archeologists might agree with (and that has nothing to do with aliens).

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Reddo, Mike

[@varyolla435]

Yes - but also religion played a role. The ancient Egyptians believed that to exist in their afterlife you needed several things: 1 - a body or vessel for the spirit (Ka) to inhabit. No body = no afterlife. That is why they mummified their bodies - and why coincidentally they began to place statues of themselves in tombs and temples. They believed that absent a body - robbers typically destroyed the mummy in the course of robbing it - the spirit would cease to exist in the afterlife. Destroying the mummy prevented the spirit of the dead from haunting the robber. Also that is why you see so many statues in Egypt with their noses chiseled off as they believed doing so prevented the spirit of the person from breathing = thus preventing them from inhabiting the statue. 2 - preserving one's name and making offerings. Pharaohs needed their names to be remembered in order to exist in the afterlife. Thus they built tombs to "stand out" + temples where offerings could be made in their name. Wealthier Pharaohs who were younger and thus could expect to rule a long time built larger/fanciful tombs. Pharaohs during periods of economic plight and who might have been older sufficed with smaller less ornate tombs. 3 - grave goods. The Egyptians believed that what you used in life you also used in death. Thus grave goods were instrumental in Egyptian burial practices - even servants. So wealthier individuals would be buried with miniature statues of people doing various tasks to symbolize servants in the afterlife. Unfortunately that promoted tomb robbing of course. A papyrus detailing the trials of tomb robbers in the Valley of the Kings during the reign of Ramses IX relates how they would bypass the tombs of lessers to focus on royalty as they knew that is where the money was. So placing stones offers a measure of protection against marauding animals. It later was seen as an attempt to prevent pilferage via larger coverings such as mastabas with false entrances. Increasing tomb sizes was a method of "keeping up with the Jones" whereby Pharaohs tried to outdo their predecessors to make themselves stand out. Later Pharaohs during the New Kingdom went further. They would chisel the names of Pharaohs off of their temples and have their own chiseled in its place to take credit for what others before them did - this is where those supposed "helicopters" or "tanks" etc. come into play. Anything to put their own name out there.
