Excellent video once again. The Aswan piece made me smile. It’s funny how you can use a stone pounder but when others who promote lost high technology go there they cannot make any progress with a ponding stone. Maybe it’s a magic curse, they lose all co-ordination for the 10 seconds they try. I’ve posted several videos of drilling, grinding and polishing granite with primitive tools myself. Though maybe that I could do those things on my first attempts is magic too. Perhaps channeling an ancient ancestor with the special powers of the ancients? 😉

[@varyolla435]

Important takeaways here folks. 1 - as the video shows pyramids were sited in necropolises. Pharaohs created cults around themselves as the Egyptian religion assumed to exist in the afterlife your name had to be remembered and offerings made + you needed a "vessel" for your spirit to inhabit. That is why they mummified bodies and tried to protect them - and later they put statues in tombs. They believed if there was a statue of the person then the "Ka" - or spirit - could also inhabit that. It is also coincidentally why you see noses chiseled off of statues as later Egyptians did thus assuming the person who was usually decreed a heretic could not breathe in the afterlife. 2 - the Nile several millennia ago ran closer to Giza. Geological core sampling indicates the tract of the river has migrated eastwards over the millennia. So during the period of Giza's creation the Nile was closer and during the annual flood the river would encroach to ~400 meters of the necropolis creating a shallow floodplain. Merer's diary references canals and dikes they created to channel water to a harbor they created at Giza during these months of high water to allow heavily laden barges to access the harbor. Using Google as the video does if you look at the plateau using satellite view you'll see 3 white lines running east from Khafre's valley temple adjacent the Sphinx. Those are sloping stone jetties which go down beneath the surface of the ground. Core samples showed Nile mud ~7 meters down in that area. The suburbs of modern Cairo now encroach the necropolis wiping out evidence of any canals in that area. So stone transported by barges could be brought to within a few hundred meters of the pyramids. 3 - as noted later Egyptians - especially New Kingdom Pharaohs - would commit _"damnatio memoriae."_ They would erase references of heretical Pharaohs and destroy their temples and/or cannibalize them for raw materials as the video alludes to. There are the remains of Middle Kingdom pyramids which had their casing stones stripped from them by Ramses II. His workmen left his cartouche on what remains to let people know: _"I did this."_ Finally there was a resurgence in belief in "the Old Gods" - read Old Kingdom Pharaohs - during the Late Period prior to the Persian invasion. Menkaure's Pyramid had been robbed long previously but apparently his body - or at least part of it - remained. The Late Period Egyptians placed a new granite sarcophagus in the pyramid and carved him a new wooden coffin and reinterred him. His tomb was once again looted - tomb robbing was ubiquitous in ancient Egypt - and his mummy lost. The granite sarcophagus was lost when the ship carrying it to England sank in a storm - but what remains of his coffin is in the British Museum. p.s. - note the beginning where the video zooms out. See Dejedefre's Pyramid to the north. Remember that when people claim about Giza "lining up with the stars". Apparently he did not get the word and opted to build his own pyramid away from Giza. lol! Giza was created over several generations - not consecutive. So the sighting of the 3 main pyramids are the only areas of high ground large enough to accommodate such structures. They are surrounded by quarries and cemeteries made over decades. It was no "grand plan" as such = it was topography of the plateau and existing infrastructure and space which determined where the pyramids were sited.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Vary, I am mostly a stone mason and don't concern myself with who was who, but I can agree with all that, it makes sense to me, thanks Mike

[@varyolla435]

@@MikeHaduck your videos show people it was possible to work the stone. I try to help others to understand = why it was possible. Many of the things I elucidate go to things proponents of pseudoscience attack so as to rationalize their incredulity arguments - distance, weight, timefactor, and so on. So I am simply adding extra evidence out there to help those interested understand there are more pieces to the puzzle. On a side note. The later Old Kingdom Pharaohs began to put more emphasis upon temples rather than their pyramids. So in subsequent dynasties you see small pyramids - which begin to see decoration within them - yet the Pharaohs instead create large = solar temples. Sneferu and Khufu = end with "ru". Yet after that Pharaohs names began to end with "re" = or "Ra" - the Sun deity. So latter Pharaohs fashioned themselves after Ra as reflected in their names and adopted the Sun cult around him. 5th Dynasty Pharaohs instead of large pyramids built solar temples instead to support this belief of Pharaoh as Ra incarnate on Earth.

[@robertdowney28]

It does seem like they cut the entrance smooth after the construction of the wall, what I am very curious of though is that if they carved this with a chisle and then polished them, the why hasn't anyone ever observed chisle marks on the unfinished stones within the core of the structure. I have seen a very select few, but one could assume these marks were from a much later period otherwise they would be prevalent everywhere.

[@MikeHaduck]

Hi Robert, the center of the pyramids was filled with junk stone ,anything that fits. It's not as big a deal as everyone thinks, thanks Mike

[@robertdowney28]

@@MikeHaduck I respectfully disagree, if the center of the pyramid was just randomly placed what ever fits wherever junk stone it would be nothing short of a miracle that it has stood the thousands of year since its erection. Our modern masonry would be collapsed and completly unrecognizable after a few hundred years without maintenence. The finishing and polishing of the interior stones obviously was not important but it seems to me very intentional placement.

[@Chris.Davies]

Another riveting video from a man who actually knows what he is talking about - instead of these empty-headed people who either spout or repeat a bunch of absolute lies. The ancient Egyptians were very smart and capable people, who were descended in an unbroken line of over 165,000 generations and three hominid species, before Homo Sapiens Sapiens arose some 300,000 years ago. And so it is true to say our entire species came into being already mastercraftsmen in stone, as there were 3 million years of combined stone-working experience passed down through every generation! There is nothing about working stones of all kinds the Egyptians did not know. Their methods and systems were first-rate, and their production and transportation capacity was extraordinary. When you visited the unfinished obelisk, you would have instantly realized there is no possible way they would have started to cut it out of the rock if they were not 100% sure they could move it to where they wanted it to go, and then stand it up, and then carve it up! 1,200 tons is large, but it is within the range they could handle with confidence. I find it rather odd many people today can't grasp the idea ancient people were just as smart as the smartest people today, and that they had language and maths, and paper records, and everything else a civilisation needs to succeed. And that includes the ability to create monuments or truly monumental proportions, in a place where they'll last until the next Milankovitch cycle turns the Sahara green again when trees and plants will blow them apart.

Assuming somehow they would, isn't a charity a better memorial, at least their good actions will continue and be remembered from beyond the grave, much longer than a piece of stone that hardly anyone will see and definitely no one will benefit from! My take on the matter anyway

I cannot fathom how anyone would think you can make a granite box by pounding on a boulder of granite with a dolorite stone. You’ve seen the granite boxes found in the pyramids. The lids cut from the same rock, the angles are 90*, the faces are polished. First you must quarry the Boulder from bedrock( there is absolutely no way this job was done by pounding troughs out to free it. Then transport millions of these stones, up to 800 miles away. This is a fascinating subject. But the builders of all of the megalithic structures of the entire earth were not wearing sandals and living in mud huts yet crafting buildings we won’t make the time today to create. There was a globally connected people here who built these structures (definitely not tombs), probably the Annunaki. Read the old text, study the cuneiform, it is the closest we have to the truth.

[@MikeHaduck]

I did a video called "carving stones with ancient technology " Mike haduck, I didn't have a problem, thanks Mike

[@4stomper]

@@MikeHaduck Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I see you have a strong interest in the subject. I gold mine in the granite mountain range here near my home. I have also fabricated stone countertops with diamond tipped saws on tracks or guided by laser. Then polished with electric grinders running diamond tipped pads up to 6,000 grit. I too have an interest of mankind’s early history. Specifically the global megalithic builders (there is not a lot of truth passed on from them) and the cultures that survived the Younger Dryas Flood, ie: Dynastic Egyptians, Mayans etc. But the current history is largely made up of lies made by the victors of religious wars literally spanning 4,000 years and more. Lies, on top of lies on top of lies. Our current government does it daily. It’s their job. They wake up every morning and go to work to control the masses. They have no morals. The world is built on lies. It’s time people got out of the rat race and learned to think for themselves. I am for the freedom and good of mankind. Question everything. We live in a terrifying time.
