Agree, the water around the pyramid would not be flowing and would quickly become stagnant especially with all of those bodies inside, carrying many pathogens, along with fertile breeding for billions upon billions of disease carrying mosquitos. The workforce would be decimated in a fortnight. Now if the pyramid wasn't built on a plateau and part of a river had been diverted into a canal then it would seem plausible.

(94% of the stones were from the Gaza Plateau itself). The water would stagnate and become a giant puddle of disease ridden mosquito infected filth. And there's no way to make pipe door and compartments that are both *air* tight and easy enough to open, and there's no way to fix this if just one part of the pipe springs a leak/blockage/stuck doors."

[@DerDudelino]

ParallelPain: on the other hand it would be much easier, than to drag all those stones from ships to the construction site. Not to forget that it's more than 40 degree in egypt for quite some months. Slaves would probably be able to pull of that tough work for a week, than get ill or die of exhaustion. The egypts had the best architects in the world, pretty sure they've figured out a smart way to filter the water somehow like the romans were doing with their aqueducts.

[@ParallelPain]

Der Dudelino Building a path for water is A LOT easier than making an air tight compartment door that can be opened easily. Which we have no evidence of anyone figuring out how to do before modern materials and engineering because it's downright impossible. And dragging the blocks using pulley/lever/rollers plus wetting the sand is far simpler than any of this. And requires less labor than digging a canal and then constructing that stone pipping. And we actually have pictorial evidence for it.

Not from their perspective if it was something they did for other things as well. No matter how they did it, they left no instructions for any of the structures to include the pyramids. The Egyptians were so attached to the Nile that they felt sorry for other civilizations that had to wait for the 'Nile in the Sky' to grow crops. Whatever the method, it was something mundane and didn't seem worth noting for future generations. Look at the Mult-Station Modem chip in the cell phones used around the world today, just 100 years ago, it would have been the most amazing thing ever heard of and would have taken a massive infrastructure to make that is now, although specialized to be sure, normal to manufacture. The pyramids are so old, that even the Roman Republic would have been looking at them the way we look at the Roman Republic today. To move massive stones, the Romans would use gigantic wheels with the stones themselves being the axle that is ingeniously simple when you think about it as these are stones that are 100s of tons. However the Egyptians built their structures, like many other things, they just didn't seem to think it was that important to document in any fashion.

[@enilenis]

Rectangular water shafts - horrible idea from an engineering perspective. They would not be able to sustain the pressure, nevermind having a number of water-tight gates with perfect seals. The height would produce a strong vacuum near the top of the tube. Managing pressure distribution would be impossible. Even the demo plexiglass tubes don't deal with actual heights and volumes of water involved. It's easy to calculate what kind of stress water would produce at 42 floors if taken up a pipe. Additionally, there would be no way to quickly extract the ropes from under the stones perfectly every time, while having the stones fit with laser precision. There'd be ropes stuck between and under stones everywhere, yet we find nothing between the stones. Water buoyancy, is a good theory, however for transporting stones to the pyramid base. It would explain why the structure had to be lowered by 8m, as if to contain something. I think this system works to the lowest level, but then stones are taken up differently. Where are the id markings? The stones aren't random but strategically placed. What about granite portions? Were those floated too? Even in the pictures provided in the video, the workers are shown near the tops of the stones, implying they could've delivered them and worked on them while the stones were still submerged. That's a silly assumption, considering where the stone would be relative to the water surface if the floats were attached. Each stone would be more than 1m below the surface. Good luck working a block that deep. And if the rope snaps, how do you reattach it? How do you troubleshoot, when everything's submerged? It makes the technique more sophisticated than the problem it's trying to solve.

On a 13 acre land base,to keep true with 8 sides,would of utilized a large central tower of block ,not only to keep true center up,but as a hoist to lift each block.To prove is a central core, I thought when kid climbed to top,he could of got GPS mark but then to check inside signal wont go through the block to prove.Once they got up halfway,easy enough to stand another long tall block for rest of lift crane.With a rope and mathematical measurements ,could math out to still keep true by measuring in a circle around existing structure from center.(rope length from central tower\Axis).Easy enough manner to constantly assure of true because first run was around extruded mound they had "X-ed" out from jump street already in the block bed.

Couldn't agree more, well said.

[@asaenvolk]

I was thinking the same thing... how the hall would they have such good water seals at that time.

[@pihi42]

While this seems perhaps plausible at a first glance, just consider this. Floating a block up the shaft comes with a price: an equal amount of water (by weight) travels down the shaft. Consequently, the weight of water that would need to be carried up to the top of the "water shaft" to replace the water travelling down+ leakage etc. would exceed the weight of the blocks being lifted. So, the manual work would actually increase; it is not easier to carry 2 tons of water than it is to carry 2 tons of rock up the pyramid. Not counting the need to carry floatation down the pyramid, work to build and maintain all the complicated shafts.. And working in murky, mosquito-infested water all day till your hands dissolve is not such a great working environment as this video would like it to be. Chiselling stone under water? Hmm.

maintaining millions of gallons of water held tight is much too hard,. Another challenge is pumping water high above.

[@makyasabdurrahman]

Easy one! just make the distance of each doorways not to far (50ft or so), so each doorways can still hold the water pressure of each section. and use pulley to open and close the doorways. Not need to be 100% air tight just water tight, leak a little here and there are acceptable. The water which is reduced due to leak can be refilled with bucket, rope, pulley, and brute force (they have thousands of slave there..) just my speculation, not an expert...

1. There are not a lot of bronzes unearthed in Egypt. The latest archeology proves that they were built by construction workers, not slaves. Slaves can eat high-quality beef and can be buried near the pyramids. 2. There is no history of bronze wares in Europe, only a very small amount of bronze is fished out of the water or bought from the antique market, so it is impossible to measure carbon 14 (compared with Sanxingdui in China to see what bronze wares can be measured by carbon 14) 3. There is no such thing in Europe Astronomical calendar (there are many observatory sites in China, there are no such sites in Europe, and it takes hundreds or thousands of years of continuous observation, calculation, and accumulation to have a calendar) 4. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, and China has unified weights and measures for more than 2,000 years. Many instruments related to measurement have been unearthed in China. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, so where does advanced arithmetic come from? History cannot be recorded until there has been no change for thousands of years. For the above points, can anyone overthrow it? If it cannot be overthrown, then ancient Babylon (someone obtained a cuneiform dictionary and translated clay tablets?), ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece are all false. Ancient Rome was a very small place not a great empire, let alone a civilization. If you look at the technology of the Song Dynasty in China and the Sanxingdui site, you will know the reason. Note that the first steam engine-driven car was also in China, but it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty, the creator of civilization, was stolen by barbarian Manchus and European missionaries, and rewritten the real history. 6. If Babylonian civilization is as great as described in textbooks, why is writing still written on clay tablets? Why not use noble sheepskin? 7. There is no such a grammatical dictionary for cuneiform, which can allow ordinary people to translate these clay tablets into modern characters. If there is no such dictionary, then they can make fakes at will. The ancient nautical chart of ancient Egypt is marked as Babylon, which is the map of China 600 years ago（it was codified by European missionaries to 1601）： www.loc.gov/item/2010585650/ This is a map of Europe：commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Geographia_by_Ptolemy,_Aphricae_Tabula_III,_1540_Basel_edition_-_Maps_of_Africa_-_Robert_C._Williams_Paper_Museum_-_DSC00625.JPG

This is beautifully thought-through and illustrated and would work very nicely if they had access to giant-sized plastic tubing, and the mass of the planet was lowered, to diminish the force of gravity. Water is heavy stuff - the elevator-aqueduct is a lovely idea but trying to contain a column of water in a brick elevator shaft up even a very modest height, never mind the pyramids, would be effectively impossible. The outward pressure on the structure would be huge, and it would be in tension where any masonry structure is all but useless. The pressure on the magically sealed gates would be huge even for a single section and the seal would have to be absolute and airtight, both at the gate and through the stones and mortar - if any part of the shaft breathed even a little there would be constant loss of water. There would be a huge daily loss of water simply to evaporation, and all of the losses would have to be carried up the growing pyramid. It's impossible in oh so many ways but it's a beautiful conception.

A cubic foot of water weighs 62 pounds, an eight foot square of it would weigh in at around 4000 pounds. A fifty foot column 200,000 pounds. Even half of that, at 25 feet and 100,000 pounds, would destroy a primitive gate system.

[@ShadowebEB]

Yes they had primitive tools. The construction of the pyramids is still debated because of what we know of their primitive tools. 8 meters of water is 50000kg, that means every single 8 meters! Not the full height, but the pressure on each and every gates. Now if your gates is made of wood, it needs to be huge to not crack under that pressure, and bigger it is harder it is to move it. The video just shows an innovative idea, but it never happened like that.

They show this glass tube as scale model to demonstrate how a stone (with swimmer ontop) can float upwards. This is working because they have an absolutely air-tight and water-tight tube to have the vacuum holding the water. But I wonder how you could build this from stone, several meters high. Making sure it's air-tight until the top. With movable gates which need to be sealed air-tight again! In a scale where those heavy stones can freely float inside. And sturdy enough not to scatter when the floating blocks bang against the walls. And a second thought: Say, all this is working. Then: How would you press the blocks (with floaters) under water so it can enter the tube's entrance? You would need to apply pressure of several tons AGAINST the floaters, right? And then move it carefully under water until it is inside the tube, then release it carefully so it doesn't bang with 80 toons lifting force against the walls...

"The water lift is unimaginable for the culture level of this ancient civilisation" Although I agree with your point that there is no pictorial evidence to suggest this method being utilized, I disagree that the Egyptians were incapable of constructing such a lift. They had full knowledge of building water-tight boats which would have just as easily been applied to stonework. And they were capable of building a structure as massive as the Great Pyramid with 20+ ton blocks of stone in such a way that a credit card (and in some places, a sheet of paper) cannot be inserted into the gaps. So this engineering feat was not out of their range of building. Actually, the water building method would explain the tightness of the stones a lot better than if you expect me to believe they were manually moved that close together.

Your technique of using water to determine which material to remove to get the perfect, flat, correct angle on the casing stones wouldn't work because of water displacement. Every time you add a new block to the water, the water level changes. Every time someone new leaves or comes in as well. Not by much, but it would be impossibly unstable.

A person would only displace a pool a few hundreds of an inch in . . .say. . . a channel as depicted at 08:35. Two or three dozen individuals might displace it a couple of millimeters.

[@tcironbear21]

Really good theory.My big question is how did the make a good enough seal on the gates? Those gates would have to water tight or nearly water tight in order to work. Now I know humans have been able to make water tight objects for millenia. But I can't think of any objects that can be contained water tight movable parts before the 1800s. Humans pulled it off with a combination of percise, strong, and form fitting components, special lubricants, and rubber.

[@ticketmachine]

TC Coltharp Given the spring, they wouldn't need to be water tight. They just need to reduce the flow significantly

[@Luciferian.Latino]

TC Coltharp They didn't have to use anything special for a sealant. Humans have been dry distilling wood since time immemorial. What does wood distillation get you? Charcoal and TAR. Wood pitch was a great sealant and used all the way through the 1400s in wooden boats. Tar in it's more liquid form (wood pitch is tar, just less fluid) makes for a relatively easy to manipulate, hydrophobic layer of resin for just about ay application.

[@tcironbear21]

***** Well the thing is that given the pressures we are looking at, even an opening of a single square centimeter in total could quickly outpace a bucket brigade. Also I doubt the spring was all that strong of a current. A spring will quickly erode itself down to low level of pressure. It probably only saved them some work, not power the whole thing.

[@Zaysaki]

TC Coltharp multiple gates = less water preassure per gate. like the guy said in the video. that and the fact that they wouldnt have to be completely water tight

[@tcironbear21]

Zamis Gama Like I said, I am quite aware of humans making water tight objects since antiquity. But these objects lacked moving components.If you just create a gate out wood and pitch, water either leak around the edges of the gate at rapid rate or it would stick in place all the time.If you are still having trouble envisioning it, imagine a bottle with cork in it. The cork can make a great reusable seal because it can be compressed and then rebound. To create the gates like they imagine you need a solid that can be compressed and rebound. The rebounding pressure is what makes the water tight seal. Most Solids and liquids can not be compressed and rebound. If you hit them pressure they tend deform or bond instead. Cork & rubber can do this easily. But most lumber won't rebound from compression. So every time you open and close the gate, it will leak more and more. And tar will tend to bond when compressed. So for this to work, the ancients needed a material that would rebound from compression and would not bond when compressed.If you can track down one such material that the ancient Egyptians had access to and I will consider this theory viable.

This feature of engineering is more advanced and perplexing than the pyramids themselves. Maybe workable on a small scale but lifting 2.5 ton blocks with floats attached isn't gonna work. Wood is buoyant but not good for much else. Look at the numbers. It probably is a tomb but it still begs the question, why so massive? Why so complex. Why such precision? Why 2.5 ton blocks instead of smaller ones? Some of the blocks are between 25-80 tons... transported from the quarry miles away. Answer me this: 2,300,000 blocks averaging 2.5 tons. If it took 20 years to build, that's 115,000 blocks per year, that's 315 blocks per day, @13 blocks per hour. That's ONE block every FOUR MINUTES. 24/7. Even if it took 40 years, that's still a block every 8 minutes. That doesn't even count engineering and preparation time. Not to mention the logistics of food production, transportation, housing, etc. That's all just for ONE pyramid! Also whether it was built by slaves or paid stone masons, there has to be a well established infrastructure for food distribution. For that kind of labor they're gonna be burning up 2-5000 calories per day. Maybe Egypt was set up for that 5000 years ago, I don't know. Whether it's a power generator or tomb it doesn't change the math. It shouldn't really exist, yet there it is!

consider the probability that they only used these stone blocks for 5 or 6 layers in, & the rest was rammed (compacted) earth. rammed dirt & gravel mix. that would decrease the # of blocks they'd need by 2/3rds or 3/4ths, and that variety of construction is well known to last centuries, especially when protected by an overhanging roof & a thin layer of plaster to protect against water. they could also scrape grooves in the rock & use oil soaked twisted papyrus ropes as gaskets .

peter8488 Occam's Razor would not apply to this idea. He is assuming they had this technology. The old ramp and thousands of slaves idea doesn't need any assumptions. And so by the definition of Occam's Razor we would have to chose the later method. Also wooden sleds designed to pull large heavy objects were found at the site of the pyramids.

[@72Yonatan]

daniel fay - The sleds were used for internal ramps. There was more than one way to raise the blocks, using a 7% slope. Greater than that slope and they would need another technology. Water flotation is a great solution.

I appreciate the theory, good work. Thank you. But I agree with all of Ted S's comments. Highly, improbable the building of the pyramids was done this way. Research buoyancy in connection to a 1 ton limestone block, along with volume of water, flow of water, size of canals then X's by 80😳 There is no way the pyramids could be built by this method alone. And, I'm not an alien theorist. I do appreciate your time & work but, no. With much respect. Thank you, Joshua

[@kxkxkxkx]

They already found the canals LOL

[@TangoNevada]

@@kxkxkxkx I don't think that changes the point of the size of the vertical perfectly waterproof sealed channel needed to raise the largest of the large stones. I have seen plenty of explanations for the majority of the smaller stones (Like this one). But no explanation for the largest granite stones of the kings chamber. Even this doesn't explain the precise placement.

[@blackdogleg]

the fact that every time the stone is struck while under water slashes and waves are produced, not even considering the movements of the workers by it´s self throws this ides into the dump. amazing all the effort that went into this production but zero thought.

[@kev3d]

So how do you get the water up there in the first place? And how do you have gates and shafts that can practically contain that much water? Remember that the Obelisks demonstrate that the Egyptians could maneuver very large stones in pretty precise ways, but the evidence suggests they didn't have as much knowledge of plumbing, as say, the Romans. And also consider that the water shafts would have to be large enough to move the largest of the stones, which were much wider and much heavier. Imagine a shaft which is a conservative 2x2 meters wide, running up the height of the side of the pyramid, a staggering 185 meters to the top. That volume of water alone weighs 740 metric tons by the time the top capstone was put in place. I don't know how much pressure that exerts on the sides at the bottom, but I'd wager that there would be a leak or two.

[@JOSEENUNO]

Agreed. Not to mention that, again, the 20 year period to built the pyramid would be impossible!

[@Thebeastcalledmydong]

The water part is explained in the video, what is unclear about that? Yeah there'd be leaks, but there's no reason that they couldn't close them as explained in the video. Also the biggest blocks didn't need to go up high; the higher you get the smaller the blocks. Building the shafts would be quite a project, but lifting the blocks up with manpower would be even harder. The shafts would probably have been built from smaller more manageable blocks from what I can imagine so it wouldn't be that long of a build time. Plus it might seem hard to built but I do think that if you just make the walls of the shaft thick and the base large enough it would function just fine; back then they probably didn't worry so much about constructing efficiently. And once the shafts are in place the construction would go really fast. I'm not saying it's THE theory though; the water probably wasn't clear so perhaps the in water block cutting wouldn't work; unless they'd do this work in clear water from the underground. Personally I think they moved the blocks close to the base of the pyramid via water transport and then went and built the pyramid the inside out... but who knows how it really went down.

[@kev3d]

Thebeastcalledmydong No they don't. They claim that spring water could have been used and then piped up the structure. This assumption is betrayed by the facts; 1. There are other pyramids, most notably the Red Pyramid, and other tall, colossal structures built by the Egyptians, with no evidence of any nearby springs. For another example, Khafre's pyramid is almost as large as Khufu’s, and does not have the same internal shaft structure as Khufu’s. 2.The "air" shafts do not continue reach the top of the pyramid, so without having a shaft to build the top of the pyramid, there is no pyramid to lean the shaft against. It's a chicken and egg problem. 3.The egyptian artists depicted themselves as hauling large blocks by ropes, levers, skids, trusses, and boats, but not by "floats" or vertical aqueducts. 4. Herodotus wrote that he was told by Egyptians that wooden machines, probably meaning wooden cranes and levers of some kind, were used . Although Herodotus lived over 2000 years after the Pyramids were built, grooves cut in the bedrock around the pyramid suggest that wooden scaffolding and simple cranes could have been used. Tests with ropes and wood available at the time confirm they were strong enough to complete the task. One of the claims made is that the shafts were sealed with mud, and baked in the sun. This is funny to me because if you ever try to plug a leak from the outside, it never works because the pressure pushes the plug from underneath. If you seal a leak from the inside, the pressure presses the plug against the leak. But if there is mud in the shaft, it will never seal because it is wet, and if the seals are on the outside, they will never hold. Not to mention, with every new course of stones, the water shafts have to be added to and sealed and a new water trough has to be built and sealed as well. On the other hand, wooden cranes and levers, ramps, and lots of manpower, can work course by course with no water, no sealing, with many teams working at once. Lastly, the Egyptians left a pretty good record of how they developed the pyramids; starting with Mastabas, then to a Stepped Pyramid, then to a bent pyramid, then the true pyramids, but after a while, cheaper materials and smaller stones were used and eventually they were abandoned altogether in favor of tombs dug in the earth.

[@chuthedrunkenfist9663]

Thebeastcalledmydong I dont think you understand how much water actually weighs. It doesnt matter if they have someone every 5 feet patching leaks, the weight exerted by that much water would make a crack seem like a fire hose.

There is a hieroglyphic showing how they built these objects. It showed a statue on a sled with many people pulling it with a rope and another person pouring water on the sand in front of the sled. They tested it out and it worked. Most likely you aren't going to find a detailed hieroglyph of how to build the pyramids because it has either deteriorated or it was a skill they didn't want advertised everywhere as it was limited to kings. It was probably on long gone scrolls or tablets. If 10000 years from now people invent anti-gravity fields and the engineering knowledge of mechanical cranes are long gone there will be people saying "there's no way they built those sky skyscapers without the help of aliens because anti-gravity fields weren't invented yet!" Just because we don't know the details doesn't mean it's impossible. People are too quick to underestimate then ingenuity of human beings and also rely to much on what "facts" we know about history.

[@DoomFinger511]

Also you're "Orion's Belt" correlation was proven false. In the original book by Bauval and Gilbert called "The Orion Mystery" the map they show of the pyramids was an inverted image. Because in reality the middle pyramid deviates to much north to line up with the belt. But when the image is inverted (so it is now south) then it lines up. Along with the fact that due to planetary precision the positions on Orion's Belt in the sky was in a different area 10,000 years ago. Just like how everyone's astrological sign is actually one ahead of what they think due to the rotation of the earth's axis over the course of 1000's of years. Of course no one wants to talk about that because it's not as interesting, so it gets lost as a foot note. Just like Christopher Columbus wasn't the first European in America, the Vikings had been visited here long before him. And people believing that ancient countries were all isolated from each other when in fact they all had trade lines to some degree. This is the problem with conspiracy theorists. They believe something, then go and try to find any evidence that justifies their claims while dismissing any that don't. REAL science is just being open minded and willing to accept we just don't know something yet, not just filling in the blanks with "aliens" or "God" and then calling it a day.

I've already heard about the use of water to level the construction, by doing a pond and using a stick to determine the basis of the structure extremely precisely. By using a tube so you can se the level of the water across any distance (this is name the egyptian level). BUT THIS ! This explain everything, why the Egyptians were so good at using water, why the freakinly heavy stones seems to have float in the air and put there with such easyness...

Yeah, my friend, I do feel the same. Suspended in the water, stones could be easily moved without resorting to some complex know-hows. I always thought that the idea of dragging 20-tonne blocks up a slope is pure bullshit. Just try to get to the top of the mountain on a bicycle - and that's the easiest part. To make that happen, you'll need a ramp with mild inclination and given the sheer size of the pyramid, building the ramp that big would take another 10 to 15 years and yet another 10 years to disassemble it. Amount of material needed to build such a ramp would take 3 to 5 times more than the pyramid itself. Utmost bollocks. The Great pyramid consists of 2300000 blocks (2,3 million). It has been said that the pyramid was done in 20 years, which corresponds to 7300 days or 175200 hours. In order to place all 2,3 million blocks in place in 20 years, the team would need to install 1 block every 4 minutes 36 seconds. There's no way in hell this may be possible even with millions of slaves at Khufu's disposal. The theory described in this video is the most plausible and believable one. I don't get all these snarky comments.

Then you need some sort of float device, inflated goats bladders or skins would be suitable and as these have been used by many peoples for transporting water it hardly seems likely the Egyptians didn't see that possible use for them. Remember how ingenious these people were. They built canals up to the pyramid in order to pull barges carrying the quarried stone close to the pyramid rather than pulling it along on sand. Of course the final part was pulled on sand but even then they wet the sand to make pulling the sleds easier. I wouldn't dismiss the idea out of hand just because they were an ancient people.
