[@ParallelPain]

jeenyus720 No they'd think "No this is stupid. 9,600,000 liters of water is needed for the base alone, an 2,000 more liters every hour from evaporation. 10 years to construct a canal for just 6% of the stones? (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."

[@ajnode]

ParallelPain ^I'm inclined to side with you on this one. I can imagine huge issues with blockages within the tunnels as well.

[@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.

[@UCvow2TUIH0d2Ax2vik9ILzg]

Der Dudelino The Pyramids were not built by slaves. It's a common myth.

[@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.

[@Exce1si0r]

Using this theory, I feel like building the pyramid was the easy part. Building a vertical air tight water tunnel is much easier said than done. Currently the deepest pool in the world is roughly 200ft. Now try doing that above ground 500ft, and make some doorways to hold in the water pressure. 😂

[@theresakruse1655]

They didn't have to do that. Drain the water after each level. Fill with sand, replace watertight floor and flood. Repeat for each level.

[@engraciofuluyafoy6404]

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

[@b_061_makyasabdurrahman9]

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...

[@walterF205]

LOL Only the amount of water in the rising pipe would be enough to make it explode. Tons and tons of water. The first infiltration will dig the way for the tube to collapse.

[@AKPrajapati]

True. So they're saying they couldn't build wheels but could make such shafts to lift 1-1.5 ton stone blocks. far-fetched.

[@beamazed1162]

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

[@ChrisAshtear]

***** it is- because that tv show leaves out tons of important details. How did they cut stone? they used a flat copper 'saw' and sprinkled sand on top of the block and grinded it away with the saw+sand. This has been demonstrated. If you look up Houdins hypothesis of how the pyramids were built its not that out of the way for what the egyptians were already doing. Internal Ramp, the grand gallery was a counterweight system. Theres evidence inside the grand gallery for that(friction marks and worn away stone at stress points) Personally, while alien visitation is of course always possible, I think its insulting to our ancestors to think that they couldnt POSSIBLY have constructed these monuments without outside help. And figuring out the simple methods that were used give you a new appreciation of how brilliant some of them were.

[@DoomFinger511]

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 like this, and I could believe this being something done in the ancient world. Many people look at our heavy machines and think, "A Bobcat could move it but how could water" and forget more often then not how our big movers function. HYDRAULICS! The power of fluid pressure. While not all of this may have been used, you have to admit this makes a great deal of sense for just getting the block to the site. It would take less time, and men in a civilization that already uses water to transport most of their good. I would really like to see a project where they use some of the better explanations and build a small scale pyramid.

[@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.

The biggest reason I visited Egypt with my family was because of this idea of adventure or discovery beyond what I fully understand. Everyone successful tied to the tourism industry was extremely quick witted and knew what tourists were drawn to get them to spend their money. The reality is modern-day Egypt is a struggling nation that is trying to milk the mysteries of the past empires to get rich tourists to boost their current economy. Which is why, even if we solve these “mysteries”, there is no way the (somewhat shady/ self-serving) Egyptian government would ever reveal these truths to protect their tourism industry. I don’t think this is a bad thing. I actually loved the experience of visiting Egypt and feeling like a kid again, where there is so much you don’t know.

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.

Men of culture, usually we meet under different kind of videos but today we are united in our interest in pyramid engineering.

[@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.

[@elkabeerthebigger9480]

its perfect idea to reduce cranes cost, a lot of opening shafts available in the towers they can use, just fill it by water and close from the top and use gates

[@moosehead4497]

Certainly doesn't explain the stones in the king chamber or in the channel leading up, but definitely water shafts and canals a better theory than the leading egyptologist ramp dragging theory smh

[@aldenunion]

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.

@@laughingachilles This one is simply stupid. Go and build functional water elevator alone with ancient technology.

[@laughingachilles]

@Dawid Alone? I think I would need quite a few people and the spare time of course. It's really not that stupid as all one needs is a sealed shaft and they had clay and other waterproof and viscous materials which would be suitable for that. 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. They were smart and dedicated, this can achieve a lot even with technology we today would consider primitive.

I like how they always ignore the 70 ton blocks lol. They would have needed a massive "water lift" and giant buoyancy objects to even move those things and to suggest that those blocks where lifted by such constructions is ridiculous.

Never under estimate what people will do for their religion.

[@murfleblurg]

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.

[@Die__Ene]

+murfleblurg Not to mention the more than likely chance for the floatation attachments to break or be punctioned on both the shaft walls and gates due to the enormous inertia of it's load. I don't think that evidence or traces have been found of any large quantities of water nor waterbasins, either.

[@ddmagee57]

Ever seen an aqueduct?

[@johnlower9094]

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.

[@handendaer]

+murfleblurg lies are never "beautiful". you bloody moron

[@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.

[@Sonofnun777]

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.

@Think4yourself ForOnce You're comparing the floating element of the 1st (Hulled ship) with the cargo of the second (piece of stone). lol That's where your mistake is. A more honest comparison would be: ''A Hulled ship vs floating materials'' or ''a fuckton of cargo vs a solid piece of stone''. As you see, when put this way, you can start understanding why the analogy with the ship works...

[@jonathanallard2128]

@Think4yourself ForOnce Let me try again. Hulled ship (floating mechanism) + a fuckton of cargo (cargo) = cargo ship. cargo ships float. Floating materials as explained in the video (floating mechanism) + a solid piece of stone (cargo) = also floats. You comparing the hulled ship (floating mechanism) of the first object, with the solid piece of stone (the cargo) of the second, was a dishonest analogy, if your point is that therefore the second can't float. You see it now? ;)

[@TheNinerion]

this hypothesis seems unlikely. The most obvious problem I can think of right now: how do you work stone underwater? Try swinging a hammer underwater. Try seeing anything in dirty water (and this water would have been dirty). So basically these people would have had to be precise and efficient while standing in chest high water and not able to see what they were doing?

[@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH]

TheNinerion Didn't he say that they only worked the top surface of the stone by making it level with the water? I would worry more about waves making it hard to tell where the water level was than about the water being too dirty to see. EDIT: I would also worry about the inevitable blooms of algae and the huge amount of evaporation that would take place in the desert.

[@supermegablurgh]

TheNinerion they chiseled and shaped the stone above water/ in shallow water. It was mostly just used for transporting them afterwards

[@metalwilla]

TheNinerion They could have people skimming the water. the stone would be more soft in the water.

[@Jacno77]

TheNinerion they prob worked in a gentle running stream. Anything dirty would just be pushed out

Jacno77 ok, that opens up the question: "where did the gentle running stream come from?" these pyramids are on a plateau in the desert next to the nile... how?! The water hypothesis is cool and maybe even workable and efficient, but is there any evidence for this actually happening? It seems rather unsupported.
