New Robots to Explore the Great Pyramid

[@HistoryforGRANITE]

Come visit Egypt with me September 13 - 24, 2023 I am excited to announce I will be joining Matt Sibson of Ancient Architects as a co-host of the Adept Expeditions Tour this September. Details here: kzbin.infoUgkxhaA-IzW1SCzgsALl5FeAxtuCuTlUmt2G

I’m 53 and I have no doubts at all that I will not live long enough to see the big void filmed. You would think that someone of Zahi Hawass’s age would be EAGER to get exploring and see what’s in the void before he pops off. But apparently he doesn’t care at all about not living long enough to make this next discovery.

[@dynamicworlds1]

I don't know enough about any of the men to make a character judgement, but keep in mind that there are reasons why someone may be more concerned with the next discovery proving them wrong than curious about what it may hold. Assuming everyone is working from the same motivations can mislead from the truth just as much as assuming conspiratorial motivations (and that's not even getting into humans having internally conflicting motivations as we so often do). I can just hope that the nondestructive nature of future testing prospects helps break through whatever resistance (even if simple institutional inertia) is holding things up. We can do so much more than we used to be able to just a couple decades ago.

@@ryannagy9244 You can't be serious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Pystro]

@@conservingcommonsense4980 But isn't the theory that they did all the carving and shaping of stones at the quarries? In that case they would have just thrown all the leftovers out at that location, instead of carrying it first all the way to and then up the pyramid. Also, what leftovers do you mean? Shavings from the stones? Limestone (the bulk material) is mostly calcite and aragonite, not quartz. And granite is only between 20% and 60% quartz (I don't know the exact composition of the Aswan granite they used). Material that has come off from the tools? Quartz indeed has a Mohs hardness of 7, comparable to granite (again, depending on the granite composition) So using quartz tools would make sense. But any tool splinters would be mixed with shavings from the masonry stones. And if they used actual hand tools for shaving the stones, we should find more broken tools than tool chippings. The only explanation that I would accept for why we would find only sand as polishing remains is that they polished the stones with sand. They might even have intentionally dragged the stones over large grained quartz sand to perform the transportation and polishing in a single step. But again, that would mix the dust that came off from the masonry stones with the polishing sand. But in this case, they would already have a reason to sieve out the shavings. (Or maybe the wind would have carried away the fine limestone shavings more easily than the coarse quartz sand. That would be another reason to specifically use large grained sand, or a reason why they only had the large grains left over to dump after the wind had done it's job.) Or maybe they even started out with the local sand mixture and only the hardest component (I assume quartz would be the hardest one) survived being crushed repeatedly by large stone blocks. And having the sand already on the ramp (and thus halfway up the pyramid) would reduce the effort to use it as acassional cheap filling material for gaps compared to sand from the ground level.

Then there’s Nikola Teslas free energy tower based off of the internal structure of the Gizeh pyramid. Then there’s the dimensions of Noah’s ark which archaeologists want to believe it’s a boat. Then there’s the Baghdad battery and the Antikathera analogue computer found in the Mediterranean. Then there’s the Priests of Amun recollection of the lost landmass of Atlantis. Plato was confused on his story where he described the Minoan civilisation on Santorini when Mount Thera exploded. Let’s say humans build a Martian civilisation and the earths poles shift in around 7000 years from now. That would disrupt the earths civilisation. Would a human Martian colony be revered as gods as the earth humans would forget the Martian civilisation exists by the 2nd generation after the pole shift. These past stories tell us the truth of where we came from. It all aligns back to the Big Dipper constellation. That’s where the shafts of the Gizeh pyramid point to, our original planets.

[@roylcraft]

If they find a chamber filled with sand. It's on purpose. Sand is heavy, 50 pounds for a small bag. I believe sand would have been used to fill a chamber/void to deaden sound waves. If a tomb robber is looking for a void, they listen for hollow chambers when chipping away the stone. The fact that the sand was not local is a huge clue. It was put there for a reason!

[@loupgarou-dj3tm]

I like to imagine they filled a large space with sand and then built something important on top of it. Let the sand out through a hole from below, and the whole structure above collapses, along with several thousand tons of pyramid. Use coarse sand that won't pack as tightly so once it starts flowing, it won't stop.

[@AndrasMihalyi]

I think they simply used sand as filling, easier then fitting stone blocks, reducing the construction time of the whole pyramid

[@roylcraft]

@@AndrasMihalyi ...easier to move a big block than a loads of sand. Sand never makes a good "filler".

[@dynamicworlds1]

If it was just for sound deadening, I would assume it would be local sand. I don't think we can answer what it was for until we know where it is from and what else is in that space, though, so I don't really have a better idea to propose as a counter-proposal, though.

[@roylcraft]

@@dynamicworlds1 ..good point. It may have been used in many ways. But if it is specific sand in large quantities, maybe it was used for cutting/shaping or polishing stone. I wonder if this is a harder, or better sand for cutting than the local sand? It's a clue for sure.

Looking down on the pyramid top, the gaps between the inner blocks look ideal for non destructive robotic probe. The air tube soft body robot could find it’s way through the 3 dimensional maze and map everything out as it explores every twist and turn. At the very least, this would give clues how the pyramid was built. Imagine a 3D map of cave tunnels with photo imagery of all the exposed surfaces. Now do the same with the Pyramid starting at the top. It might even find a route to the Great void.

Attn : Zahi Hawass and friends'-----Drill in 1" horizontal access hole. Enter from the side of The Big Void, determine best side, north or south. Drill into the void's 'best guess' center. Least destructive and cams' will be able to view all directions inside. Future for larger hole is sensible as well. Consider on the negative, that a structure may have to be scaffolded at the side. Consider the positive, the entry spot at pyramids side will not affect existing openings. Tourism, for example would be undisturbed. Just need to 'rope off' the ground area below the project.

There are certain details that can't be ignored. The North air shaft from the King's Chamber is not straight, obviously bending to avoid some internal structure close to the Chamber. The non-load-bearing block in the KC. The relieving chamber roof is higher than necessary for the known internal passages & chambers. These details are among the keys to Houdin's theory, and by far the best scenario offered IMO. Getting a camera behind that non-load-bearing block in the KC seems the most logical approach.

Not sure how well the sand robot would work with compacted sand under pressure. You think of that robot had to reach 20 meters in and is 10cm in diameter then you have a huge amount of sand that needs to be displaced.

[@pauldoyley8354]

Been waiting for the update!!

[@onethreeify]

Couldn't it be that the Grand Gallery was used as a lever to get the granite blocks for the King's Chamber, and they made a basically identical Grand Gallery 10 meters higher for the granite blocks of the chevrons ontop of the King's Chamber? Since the Grand Gallery ends on the "floor level" of the King's Chamber, it only helps so much as a lever for the various granite blocks needed for the roofs of the King's Chamber

[@phoneguy4637]

sounds pretty legit!

[@randoedits6906]

They told the Greeks that they used levers, but that explanation was provided 2000 years after their construction and cant really be verified, which is why how they built them is a controversy. They never left any information as to how they were built, there is nothing. There's only ever been theories of how they did it, no hard proofs. It would be a very logical explanation though.

[@landyshserebristyy2493]

If a large gallery is just a "lever", then what is the purpose of making it so perfect from a technical point of view? There is a proverb, you heard a ringing but you don’t know where it came from.

[@christopherpardell4418]

The ONLY explanation for the grand gallery is that its is clearly designed for bringing large stones up to the level of the kings chamber. It has all the indices of a functional structure designed for elevating stones, and is large enough for every stone thus far found in the structure. As the pyramid was being built, it could also have been the primary ramp for bringing up 75% of the stones in the pyramid. It makes sense that all the stone for the king’s chamber roof and ceilings was brought up to this level, and then as the pyramid rose around the Kings chamber, those stones moved over to be pulled up a second grand gallery to get them to their ultimate elevations. The top of the ascending layers of the pyramid would have been a staging area for the large stones that had to go further up. So I would say the greatest likelihood is that the void is indeed a second grand gallery used to elevate not just the ceilings and gables, but also a significant amount of the overall mass of the pyramid up to that level. If you continued the newly discovered 2 meter wide vault it intercepts the base of the grand gallery. Given that the pyramid appears to have been re-designed for the higher chamber after construction began, I think the the original entrance was a level continuation of a smaller external ramp that only lifted stones as far as the entrance. Then becoming a roofed over passage to the base of the grand gallery where there was a winch and sled set up to raise 40 tons of stone at a time to the working level of the pyramid. A properly designed winch would have saved tens of thousands of manhours in lifting stones when you consider that the 40 ton capacity necessary for the gables, would have meant each lift bringing 20 plus regular stones up at a time. Unless real evidence emerges of there being an internal spiral ramp just behind the exterior stones, stacked grand galleries could easily have been used to lift most of the mass of the pyramid.

I don't understand why someone doesn't go into the king's chamber, and drill a hole in the wall, to the right of the sarcophogas, about a foot up, or in one of the cracks. According to Oudin, that is the entrance to the rest of the chambers he says we haven't seen yet, the place where all the kings goods would have been stored, and the place where the original funeral procession entered the pyramid during the burial. To me it makes sense, simply because of the kinks in the little side air shafts... plus, didn't some ancient historian say that front entrance is where the procession entered?.... it seems like it would be pretty easy to drill there and either confirm, or lay to rest forever, Oudin's theory of the missing room section. I think Oudin's missing rooms, AND your theory about the 2nd grand gallery (that scan-pyramids seems to confirm) being needed to get the final heady granite blocks that high, could BOTH be true...

I have a theory that the large pyramid is located on a small sandstone mountain as a base, then they started to build a 8 sided structure around it, for each side of the pyramid is divided so it will push towards the center. When the outer shell was built they filled it with sand and placed ramps and what later will be walls on the inside, when this is done they add a layer around the natural sandstone, make segments they fill with sand and then keep do this. This will make the pyramid lighter, and to use less material so it can be built much faster then we think. Remember the story about the 3 first pyramids and how one king built them before the last big one, that indicate that 4 pyramides can be built in a tome period of 20 to 30 year or faster.

So is the Great Void horizontal, or does it slope parallel to the Grand Gallery? You show it both ways. EDIT: Of course this makes a practical difference, both in the purpose of the void and in the plan to reach it. The drilling proposed in this video COUNTS ON the Great Void sloping downward, so that horizontal drilling is sure to intercept it. As long as the slope is uncertain and the prospects for success are uncertain, you can be certain the Egyptian authorities will not authorize drilling.

It would be amazing if the Big Void turned out to be the actual grave chamber, and all the rest of the chambers and passages were just red herrings designed to make robbers think they found the real thing.

[@farmermiyagi1338]

They just need to drill through the plug in the western wall of the King's chamber. That is the escape route, and the way to the other chambers.

[@kevinjaeger4705]

Just breath taking! Yet another beautifully done video.

[@YunaOnHome]

Is it possible to combine both your ideas here? And use the air filled robotic tube on the north upper chamber shaft. It’s accessible from the outside and if there were any small holes along it’s route near the void surely they could be accessed without drilling.

[@-AT-WALKER]

Tame your wild ways, that's far too awesome for Zahi (or whoever decides) to consider. Seriously though, good idea!

[@thedolly7596]

Thanks for this brilliant video. I’m so excited by those new robots. 😮

[@lastofmygeneration]

I'll never take this channel for Granite!

[@zygotegarden]

I hope someday they use robots to explore the Great Void discovered by muography. Your idea to start with the areas already drilled is a really good first step. Interesting video, thanks!

[@conniebenny]

Your idea for the non-invasive robots to explore the pre-existing drill holes is as elegant as it is simple. Let's just hope those in charge of deciding whether to do it or not aren't equally simple...

[@aneeshprasobhan]

Great video as always. I see this video as your way of suggesting how the Egyptian Authorities should move forward. Hope someone with influence there follows your channel. The problem is we have a lot of people in the world with huge egos' that gets in the way.

[@BGraves]

Can you do a video on some of the proven methods that were used to shape the stone and transport it

[@nfineon]

#1. Remove all vandalism including the insane "lady's mural" or any markings made by tourists, explorers, or other @$$sholes throughout history. #2. Repair the main entrance wall and seal off/repair the robbers tunnel entrance. #3. Get rid of Zahi Hawass or any data that doesnt prop up their official narratives will be kept hidden from public view.

[@lutherandross3165]

I’m guessing the “big void” was part of an inset ramp running at approximately 26 degrees from the lower North face corridor to the top of the kings chamber. This, of course, would line the exterior features up with the interior features almost exactly, and would make practical sense for the design and how the blocks were stacked in the kings chamber. From there, my guess would be that there was another inset ramp running at a similar 26 degrees approximately 7 degrees adjacent in the opposite direction up to the upper north face feature. Would love to see a probe of the big void.

[@sue_downing555]

Utube has an old internal ramp video, an animated simulation of how it was made, with ramp tunnels to get up and thru the pyramid as it was being built up. The mysterious void above grand gallery is part of the access tunnel sys as well as the passage behind the chevrons over the entrance.

[@Gains24-7]

Thank you again for teaching me about all the things I never thought of or would have considered. Cheers!

[@toddmetzger]

I think some of the reluctance to use these non-destructive exploration methods comes from the fear that more and more exploration will be done in all the pyramids, tombs, and monuments. Also don't forget rumors that there are tunnels and mazes that are just below the surface that have been off-limits for exploration for many years, that are said to connect to sites many miles away. The council has always seemed to want to have a timetable on the reveals that they do, so that each reveal brings new and/or renewed tourism. Kind of like the new attraction at an amusement park.

[@nalinux]

There's been rumors about tunnels for more than 1 century. Absolutely no one has been able to prove it.

[@matthewerwin4677]

The explorers in the 1800's would've documented them.

[@stephenjohnson9560]

Great presentation, thank you :)

[@paulchatel2215]

Unfortunately the egyptian minister is a little man with a big ego. It's likely he is holding firmly to decades old resentment to anyone he perceives as even the slightest threat to his legacy as 'the big deal' or should we say 'the definitive' egyptologist. So it is unlikely he would allow any discovery in the sand filled tunnels, unless someone can convince him that the glory of the discovery would be attributed to him.

[@daveharden5929]

Lol! Yes, great observation. Zewahe has had decades taking his brand of "Giza gate keeping" from obviously pathetic to a veritable art form. He's been carefully planning his retiring legacy from behind the scenes. Hence, when the big discovery day arrives, it will be "chiselled in granite" Zewahe Found Kufu!" Lol! 😂😅😂

[@Dfoliveira25]

You Channel is the best channel to learn about Egypt. I watch it everyday for multiple times, as I really appreciate your interpretation, suggestions and assumptions. Thank you very much for your hard work and every time I watch your videos I make sure to like and to promote it! it is really the best channel for explaining things! thank you!

[@shysonofficial]

great video!

Keep up the great work.. your time and content is valued.

A sensible channel! Subscribed!

[@jerrywatt6813]

Thanks keep up the good work I appreciate you're attention to detail and careful study of previous investigation ! Looking forward to the next installment on the journey ! Peace !

[@-AT-WALKER]

The man somehow has the same puzzle pieces we all have and manages to slot them together whilst mainstream Egyptology is out there bashing them with dolerite hammers.

[@StephiSensei26]

Fabulous episode! Thank you.

[@EpicStonerAdventures]

I love your work. Great channel 👏

[@rockandfound]

He has been instructed to shut down further discovery because the discovery’s will show us more of an advanced way of life back then and question our entire history. He does as he’s told by whom ever is in control.

Wow thanks for the insight on discovery and tourism. It's always interesting to observe foreign nations deal with their topics in their own way, seemingly without listening much to other imput.

Excellent video, perfectly done, very informative and exciting, I hope I live long enough to see what’s inside the void , peace ✌️

[@davec5237]

Enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing 👍

[@PhilipCockram]

I completely agree with your summation . Egypt has an ocean of information that they seem content to let trickle out by these very selective investigations .

[@tolkienfan1972]

Incredible! Great video

[@Jasmijn25]

Throw off all ego & personal interests and listen to this man, he is so totally right. Let go and let's go!

[@scyzorpl]

I enjoy every minute of your videos Thank YOU

[@WJHandyDad]

agree - this stuff is fascinating and finding hidden things in the pyramid would be amazing... even if they are just empty hallways

[@noleftturns]

I believe that the Great Pyramid (GP) is actually 2 distinct structures: 1) The granite temple in the middle of the GP 2) 2.5 million limestone blocks that entomb the temple as a pyramid For some reason everyone thinks the GP was all built at once and by the Egyptians. That's like 5,000 years from now, archeologists find a home full of furniture and just assume the builder of the house built all the furniture inside. It sure only takes a little brain power to make that assumption. Anyway, I believe the granite temple was built when the Great Sphinx was built 12,500 years ago by a race of people that mastered working with granite and built temples all over the Giza Plateau and died from the Younger Dryer event 12,000 years ago that killed most humans on Earth. We see the inside of the Granite Temple but have yet to learn what the outside of it looks like - it's entombed with millions of limestone blocks. The instruments show the voids left by the limestone blocks distributing the weight of the blocks above around the granite temple. There is a void all around the granite temple - that's what will show up over time.

[@nalinux]

Too much sci-fi here.

[@kiwibonsai2355]

They have done carbon tests on wood used in the pyramids showing the age is around the right time, not 12500 years.

[@noleftturns]

@@kiwibonsai2355 Not true - no charcoal or wood has ever been found in the Granit Temple - you can't find a link to prove otherwise.

[@nalinux]

@@noleftturns Do you speak about a pyramid or a temple ? There's quite nothing left from the temples ... The room named "King chamber" is a temple according to you ? As said above, the GP has been dated with C14. So this room is the same age. Can you provide any links prooving what you write ?
