@@MikeHaduck Thanks for your acknowledgement. I am currently checking out both your own videos: carving stones with ancient technology etc' and I've also subscribed to that Russian fellow drilling holes in stone; my hope is to create a short schedule of referrals to how this work is done, the logic being that the most inspired Egyptologist is likely just embarrassing himself if he doesn't know that these old techniques still exist and were employed in antiquity, it's an old difficulty: both school and university are an introduction to a subject, they are not an education in how it was done. many-thanks.

Cairo, Egypt, circa 2550 B.C. Ancient Egyptian contractor: Mr. Haduck, we heard of you through Pharaoh Khufu. We need to construct an elaborate complex of pyramids from thousands of tons of granite and limestone which need to be quarried, transported and shaped, as well as build and sculpt a Sphinx 240 ft. long and 66 ft. high. We were originally thinking 10,000 workers round the clock for 30 years but discovered we didn’t have the budget. Can you do it? Mike Haduck: No big deal.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Marco, yes, no big deal, I did a video called carving stone with ancient technology, as long as they could deliver it from the quarry, I figure about the same time as it took to build the empire state building, don't listen to all those bedroom archaeologist who never worked as a stone masons or quarry guys they come up with all these crazy theories, thanks mike

[@meandnachumtzvi7778]

7:19 I visited Coral Castle a few times and on the tour I was told he built the castle in the middle of the night when people wouldn’t watch him. He learned how to build it from hieroglyphics and that it is so simple that he can teach a 6 year old how to build it in 15 minutes but not an adult because they are too complex (it sounds similar to what you say about an expert and lazy man). He also moved that castle to a different location using a Ford pickup truck. Besides that he drilled a perfectly cylindrical hole through the center of gravity, of that revolving door, despite the stone not having a uniform distribution of mass and without a laser; the door, they said, could be moved with a finger; however, either for safety or erosion that is not on the video. So it seems there is more than meets the eye and it could be this video, of him making it, is just a smoke screen. I missed your Proverbs at the end; I think 27:17 applies to you as you respond to the comments.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, they actually found film of him moving the stones with winches and roller, you can see it on the internet, coral is a very soft stone you could carve it with a butter knife, and he worked at night to avoid the heat, great place to visit. I want to do a part 2 on it, thanks Mike

[@meandnachumtzvi7778]

You're welcome. I saw the film and understand the cutting isn’t anything spectacular; however, the perfectly cylindrical hole through the center of gravity and making a rocking boulder, needs explanation. Please see kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH2Zfnt7pcaSmqM at 0:56 about not revealing too much. His literature would be something to comment on. I hope my comments sharpen you: )

@@MikeHaduck wow you just wrecked all my years of believing this was super giants from Mars lol

[@darrylmcginty1296]

A ramo to the top of the great pyramid would have to be ove a mile long and consist of more material than the pyramid itself. The ramp would also have to be made of granite or limestone, sand or compacted clay or dirt would not support the 50 ton granite blocks that are behind the small stones on the outside. You conveniently left that info out. Also the great pyramids outer stones are all 5 ton and up.

Hi Crazy hands, just harder stones, thanks mike

Have you seen the thousand of granite vases they found under the bent pyramid? I guess they used harder stone on those to right Mark? Btw what stone is harder than granite? Keep in mind than granite is 9 on MOHS scale diamond is 10. But you’re a mason right Mark so you should know that. I was just thinking, how did the pound the inside of those granite vases with another stone when the mouth of the vase is 1 1/2” wide but the bottom of the vase is 7”, and they are so precise that they are 99.7% perfect.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

I do wonder how they put the casing stones on and had them be so smooth and presumably regular in size when they had to sit on or lean on or somehow be attached to the filling stones in the back which some of which seem like rubble. Yes, I am imagining that they put the casing stones on in a kind of a rough finish, and then dressed them in position. And I also know that limestone is not very difficult to work. Certainly compared with granite.

@@MikeHaduck I get how you can move one large object with lots of prep, planning and time.

No heavy logs in Egypt Mark. It’s a desert, how bout machu pichu in the Andes mountain range where the quarry is on the other side of a 18,000’ mountain. How’d they get those 150 ton stones over? On logs or was it on wheels big guy? Just stop already, your making yourself look foolish. Go lay some paver stones in the yard.

[@lastofmygeneration]

The Egyptians knew about the wheel they just didn't have as much of a need for it due to their extensive waterways and their affinity for transport via barges on the Nile. They were surrounded by cultures that had already invented the wheel. The Hittites are just one example of a culture the Egyptians had contact with who had the wheel. Not utilizing the wheel extensively and not having knowledge of the wheel are two very different things.

[@lastofmygeneration]

​@@darrylmcginty1296 the Egyptians traded across vast Networks of Empires and city-states. They were able to get cedar wood from Mesopotamia. So the Egyptians definitely had access to Wood, and in some cases they used it on an industrial scale. In fact there is still surviving wood in some burial site and complexes

[@lastofmygeneration]

​​@@darrylmcginty1296 hey big guy. I just looked into the bull hockey that you're spewing. Funny thing- it seems that the Inca were Master Stone workers, so masterful in fact, that they built the longest surviving roadways in the world. Seems like those roadways would have been really really useful for moving something heavy, you know like Stone? In fact, even funnier is it one of the Quarry roads goes even higher than Machu Picchu. It's a lot easier to move Stone downhill. Also those Quarry Road incline and decline at Angles perfect for moving heavy Stone. So, if those pathways go higher than Machu Picchu, why couldn't the builders have then transported them downhill? Are you saying that gravity doesn't work for the Inca? What do you think big guy? Oh yeah big guy oh, one thing I forgot to mention, is that the largest Quarry for Machu Picchu is inside the complex itself. The largest Stones were quarried right out of the rock at the site. So no need for lost ancient high-technology. Why don't you go read a book?

Where there is a will, there is a way. If you're using the most technologically advanced method to do something you're not going to feel like you're wasting your time or that it could be done faster.

The casing stones were held up with smaller mortered stones so that if the weight of the bottom of the outside casing shell was too heavy and broke away from the narrower top part then the casing stones would just crumble down the face of the pyramid like a cookie and not wreck the pyramid stones themselves. That's why there seems to be "junk" stones everywhere because some of them have actually rolled down the pyramid and are not in their original places, and others are broken pieces of stone. Then the pyramid builders started clearing away mortered stones after the pyramid was damaged possibly by an earthquake but then just gave up for some reason and left the pyramid there without putting new casing stones on the pyramid. The other pyramids never had casing stones.

[@suep4530]

that was pretty interesting. It's still amazing how they moved enough rock to build all that!! You got some great pictures. The demo toward the end was interesting too.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Sue, Mike

[@T.E.P.]

Fascinating... thanks again for making these informative vids Mike and Jeff

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Thor, Mike

[@NicGoldenEddie]

Thanks for the simple but great explanations. Do you think the bigger pyramid is build the same but with inventions and upgrades, such as the kings chamber and the hallway? This is still gorgeous to know about masonry such a long time ago. And yeah how to move the blocks... it was obvious that they would circle the square ⚠️😜👍

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Gold, they put more time into the great pyramid, but still very basic, thanks mike

[@michaelcollins4665]

mmm' yes possibly, that would require a lot of wheels though, and a lot carpenters. This along with pounding stones may have been the methods of the first dynasty, However, these pyramids go back a lot further than that. My opinion only , thanks for a very informative video.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Michael, true, a "LOT" of carpenters and stone cutters, that's what they all don't get, thanks Mike

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Michelle, I worked on big projects before and I don't think it took any longer to build a pyramid as it did the empire state building, thanks Mike

[@garyconrod9859]

Napoleon, or at least Jean Baptiste Kleber (a Freemason, who just happen to rule the world) could've built the two biggest pyramids at the same time in about 5 to10 years if they were made out of cement because they get narrower the higher you go up so that if they were only half built they would only be a quarter the height they are now and you wouldn't say that took more than a few years to build using cement blocks.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Gary, once they got the ball rolling I don't think it took more time to build a pyramid as it did to build the empire state building, ,Mike

[@hoodwinktheranger2967]

According to the current archology there as no Wheel or Iron used in the construction of the Giza Pyramids. The wheel had not been invented yet..

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Hoodwink. Trees are round, they had chariots in the museum, it's all fake news, thanks mike

[@hoodwinktheranger2967]

@@MikeHaduck Hi Mike, while chariots were invented in mesopotamia around 3000 bc according to the official archology they weren't used in Egypt until 1600 bc almost a thousand years after the Giza pyramids were built, according to archology. Are you saying the aechologists are producing fake news? And the wheel was used to build the Giza pyramids?

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Hood, man knew you could roll heavy objects over round logs sense God put him on the earth, everything from there was __ necessity is the mother of invention, it all common sense

[@hoodwinktheranger2967]

@@MikeHaduck I agree Mike, but unfortunately the archaeologists don't. Their timeline has the Giza pyramids being constructed without the wheel, in a period of time when trees were rare in Egypt. Keep up the good work! 🙂

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

Not all of the stones around the pyramids, fell off the pyramid. Originally, the great pyramids were surrounded by mortuary temples, and smaller pyramids for queens and other important personages.

[@MikeHaduck]

Yes, also it was ripped off for other buildings, the whole plateau is nothing but a ancient cemetery, mike

I love thst red granite

Thanks, that's it, stone on stone with mortar in between, no big deal, Mike

[@wandersgion4989]

Mike Haduck Masonry Mike, you are a living legend! Thanks for your insight. That wheel technique seems more plausible than anything I ever saw on the History Channel. Are you sure the aliens didn’t teach you? 👽

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks but I hot to admit I seen it before, mike

[@rogerscottcathey]

The pyramids are endlessly fascinating. It does seem logical the aliens would know about the wheel and elephants! haha!

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Pockets, I agree, lol, Mike

[@Richard-qs8dn]

Loved it. Thank you Sir.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks Richard, Mike

[@HistoryMaze]

Great video! Little question here - something I thought of recently - what do you think to the idea of the Abu Ghorab bowls being bases for Derrick cranes? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXfGiaGXeMuVpNU

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi, I can't say, I was never there, but I know they were building siege machines and moved a lot of heavy things before my time, thanks mike

[@HistoryMaze]

@@MikeHaduck thanks for reply - there are so many whacky theories for these bowls, I couldn't help but think they may have had a more practical purpose - some of them were set into the paving...but of course - just ideas - we'll probably never know. I used to work with stone too btw:) - was a dry stone waller for 12 years.

[@MikeHaduck]

Thanks, lots of stuff out there we just got to take a educated guess at. Thanks mike

[@pannolane]

HEY so they used the scaffolding to raise the 5 to 10 ton blocks you sure it would take the weight of a wooden scaffolding how would they lift the heavy blocks onto the pyramid how high and far would they have to lift it once the pyramid was less than 30 feet of the ground ,and the wheel wasn,t around 5 thousand years ago so they say.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Ronald, same way the Roman's built the siege machines, and moved many of those egyptian monuments to Rome, thanks Mike

[@mickeygriggs]

You are correct Mike man can do anything with some common since and muscle power lol
