The Improbable Timeline of the Old Kingdom Mega-Pyramid Builders!

The Old Kingdom period of Ancient Egypt was a truly remarkable time in history, an era of mighty mega-projects that are still standing today, achievements unsurpassed in human history. But is this really when the giant pyramids were built?
It seems to have come out of nowhere - lifting the Dynastic Egyptian Civilization from the stone-age to the advanced technology required to build the Great Pyramid of Giza in a very short period of time. Only then to seemingly disappear again, never to be repeated, although the Egpytian civilization continued on for thousands of years.
The closer you look at this time period, the less sense it makes, and the more contradictions that appear in in the story of history. Join me as I explore the details of this lost era of history and look in detail at the improbable timeline of the Old Kingdom mega-pyramid builders.

This video turned out being much longer than I thought it would be, but it's a core component to the overall case for a re-evaluation of history, and I've always wanted to fully explain just why I find the Old Kingdom to be such a contradiction in the story of our past.

[@cholst1]

What do you reckon the weight of all the old kingdom monuments put together are? Lets use the great pyramid as a measure, so for instance 10 great pyramids. If so, they would have to plan/quarry/shape/move/construct 12 tons of stone every hour of the day for the entire 500 ish years of the old kingdom. The population was at best 2 million at the end of the old kingdom and there was military campaigns going on at different times as well. Even those are pretty impressive numbers.

[@1911bela]

@@cholst1 not to mention the population needed to supply food and water, sanitary. The population needed to farm, transport and distribute. All this with stable hierarchies, politics etc over the decades. Also planning had to be organized and executed over decades from it's original planners.... unlikely

Beautiful Job this video. Your presumption that what we are told is a pile of it is correct. The Egyptians of that era found the megalithic sites and copied, modified where applicable or re-purposed them.

[@leighmoom5277]

Thinking you are forgetting something. These kings were magic. They just twitched their nose and the blocks moved into place from miles away. It would be great if we could just work out how they made such precise, polished accurate items. The internal corners would be hard to do even today.Sure a mill could do it but would need incredible reach and very small cutters. or a small mill used inside the box but would need to be secured to be incredibly rigid. So how was it done??? Answer this question will lead to the true history of the pyramids

[@JohnMarshall-NI]

The lack of thorough scientific investigation, and the way that many of these ancient sites have been treated is a disgrace. We could be sleepwalking into an extinction level event, and acknowledging even the possibility that something similar could have happened before (natural or not), effectively resetting civilization back to the stone age, could help us avoid a similar catastrophe in the present. Humanity is extremely primitive in so many ways.

@@alexandreintouch1847 solar, plasma, plasma etc, yeah. Annoying? It's very important. Cyclical destruction of the world is an ancient concept. The ice age "energy paradox" can have only one explanation. That amount of energy can only come from the sun. Now, if it's plasma, giant flares or micro-novas, we'll have too wait and see.... Could be crustal displacement due to magnetohydrodynamic disruptions, with the crust floating free, which will cause the ice caps to centre around the equator. Something big is coming our way, it's encoded in all ancient cultures, myths, religions. “O Solon, Solon, you Greeks are always children: there is not such a thing as an old Greek.” And on hearing this he asked, “What mean you by this saying?” And the priest replied, “You are young in soul, every one of you. For therein you possess not a single belief that is ancient and derived from old tradition, nor yet one science that is hoary with age. [22c] And this is the cause thereof: There have been and there will be many and divers destructions of mankind,1 of which the greatest are by fire and water, and lesser ones by countless other means. For in truth the story that is told in your country as well as ours, how once upon a time Phaethon, son of Helios,2 yoked his father's chariot, and, because he was unable to drive it along the course taken by his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth and himself perished by a thunderbolt,-that story, as it is told, has the fashion of a legend, but the truth of it lies in [22d] the occurrence of a shifting of the bodies in the heavens which move round the earth, and a destruction of the things on the earth by fierce fire, which recurs at long intervals. At such times all they that dwell on the mountains and in high and dry places suffer destruction more than those who dwell near to rivers or the sea; and in our case the Nile, our Saviour in other ways, saves us also at such times from this calamity by rising high. And when, on the other hand, the Gods purge the earth with a flood of waters, all the herdsmen and shepherds that are in the mountains are saved,3 [22e] but those in the cities of your land are swept into the sea by the streams; whereas In our country neither then nor at any other time does the water pour down over our fields from above, on the contrary it all tends naturally to well up from below. Hence it is, for these reasons, that what is here preserved is reckoned to be most ancient; the truth being that in every place where there is no excessive heat or cold to prevent it there always exists some human stock, now more, now less in number."

[@Blissiralabs]

​ David Leo Morley As Victor says. I highly doubt you have actually watched this or any of the video's from Uncharted. And i completely understand why you would have skipped watching it and gone straight for the comments. There is an absolute plethora of over hyped, badly researched, (95% often not researched at all) video's being banded around. And as you say its not done with the best intentions. Its done to sell books and earn KZbin revenue's. Those who enjoy a spoonful of conspiracy theory before bed, could even point to the flooding of information outlets with this terrible "journalism" to be the work of those who have their own agenda's for this information to get swallowed up, mocked and put skeptics into the mindset you have as detailed above? However there is zero evidence for this and i live my life by seeing facts and evidence before i blindly go believing in talking snakes and a guy that builds a boat for 5,000,000 species of animals. It's a terrible shame that this practice goes on, as its doing a massive disservice to mankind. Because there really is incredible evidence and alongside things that simply cannot be answered. And this is where video makers such as UnchartedX really shine through, Because his video's are really meticulously researched to the absolute best of his ability. AND this includes actually visiting these ancient sites. That in itself puts him above 99% of people of video makers on this site who simply copy from the last video they watched in order to make money. When it comes to EXTREMELY rare video's of this quality that actually provide a lot of very clear evidence and where evidence may not be available he simply asks the viewer what they make of it. And as per his disclaimer at the end, none of it is 100% proof of anything, but then neither is mainstream sciences view on this subject either. But Rather than, as you correctly stated, the majority who say "well if you don't believe me then you are "brainwashed" "you only believe in mainstream crap" etc etc......... Those that push people to follow their beliefs in this manner are no different from someone trying to push religion down people's throats. Where as this incredibly intelligent person, who has put blood sweat tears, money and countless hours in time into simply providing an alternative viewpoint on mainstream academia, really deserves the respect of having an intelligent person (as you clearly are) sitting down watching it thoroughly and taking in some of the astonishing facts presented therein. Because a lot of it is truly mind-blowing.

How did they light the tunnel system (eg. while working) under the step pyramid... that alone is a huge question mark... imagine, you are 3-4 stories below ground, total darkness and you get the task to dig that tunnel. We are talking of years, maybe decades of continuous digging, and for that you need 1) ridiculous amount of fire sticks and that would leave visible burn marks on the ceiling 2) you need good ventilation otherwise the tunnel system gets filled with smoke. The issue of lighting is always forgotten by researchers.

Shocking facts (and these are facts): -The egyptian elbow is exactly the half of the meter. The real meter, which was discovered in the spacial era, when they realized that they had to correct the original meter in order to launch satelites successfully. So 2 egyptian elbows are exactly a meter. Does anybody realize the implications of this? It´s a total WTF. - The great pyramid has got 8 faces, not 4. The effects at the equinoxes and solstices are amazing. When it was covered with the smooth and almost mirror polished original stones, painted in red, the spectacle had to be the most amazing thing ever witnessed. -The original El Cairo, was built only with the covering tiles. Figure out how many of them were. -The error accepted in modern architecture is way higher than the measures in the great pyramid. In fact, the deviation error on the angles at the base, is the same as if you look at a coin from 1 Km of distance. This is almost impossible even nowadays. -Diamond is the only rock harder than the diorite. There are jars of diorite with long necks thinner than a pinky. Even today, to make that is fucking baffling. -To cut diorite or granite with copper tools is like trying to cut a rock with kids´s scissors. The idea is stupid, but is what they keep saying. -Speaking of that, there are trepans with the drilling marks, in spiral. The experts, as engineers, say that those marks, each turn, is made, at least, 60 times, and sometimes 200 times faster than we can do it today, with diamond or tungsten cylindrical drills and fluid to cool it and prevent the burn of the drill. -They have found hairs and nails inside the rock tiles. INSIDE. -They knew about the precession movement of the Earth. Ortodox science claims that they knew it by watching the spates and declines of the Nile. That is the most stupid affirmation ever. It would take millions of years of observation to get the numbers. Absolutely stupid. -Svetla Balabanova, a german scientist, discovered coca and nicotine in egyptian mummies. She didn´t write an opinion, she just wrote the results of the analysis. They threatened her and tried to silence her. Coca and nicotine are originals from America. -Not a single corpse has ever been found in any pyramid, even with the seals intact. Pyramids are not tombs. And many more things. That thing is impossible. But there it is. They keep saying that there is no mystery in it, that a bunch of people decided to push some rocks with just the muscles and a few ropes to make that. One of the arguments they use, is the motivation issue, that the people of that time had their motivations the same way that in the middle age they had the motivation for the cathedrals. Nice try, but there is a fail in that argument: Nowadays, we KNOW how a cathedral is made. We could do it if we wanted. There are tons of mysteries on the cathedrals, but we do know how to build them. But we don´t fucking know how to build a pyramid like the so called of Keops. We just don´t know how to make it even with modern colossal cranes, trucks, lasers... We all love science, but I don´t know what is their problem with this issue. Well, I actually understand them. See, when you spend all your life studying and working hard to learn a story, spending lots of effort, time, and money in the process, it has to be really really hard to admit that all that you have learnt is bullshit. So there isn´t any conspiracy here. The thing just works by its own.

Expect for El Aryan,which was off limits even then.. Hawass and his egomoniacal ilke, are reprehensible fools,who's ignorance and obstruction will be all that will be remembered of them in the future. Unfortunately he and the religion that dominates Egypt for now,see it simply as a money making "theme park"; to be honest we're lucky they've not simply flattened the monuments to extend Cairo. The devastation to ancient sites in Saudi Arabia, means there will never be a chance to even explore the reality of its past.

It's one of the reasons the Saudis have utterly demolished quite a number of contentious sites,particularly along the red Sea coast and up into the mountains. There was a VERY strong Jewish presence in the area of Mecca & Medina,just check Wikipedia for the most basic story and read more if you feel inclined. It's one of the great tragedies of history that the area of the world and an age old conflict which impacts - let's ignore oil ,money & territory, for now - on the whole area (& the rest of the world ) in the present day,should all come from an agreed common source! In the determination of the three levantine - let's include Saudi - religions - jewdaism, christianity and islam - to establish there dominance over that part and now the rest of,the world,they've ALL played their part in attempting expunging the truth about Egypt from the records! All of them have to a lesser or greater degree,imposed their 'fundamentalist' beliefs upon this one country and ALL played their part in its submergance into a 'mythical' past. All archeology has at it centre,someone ,normaly a man,brought up to belive in one of the three religions. The group who insist on an African "Egypt" - have obviously never read the source material and though right about a VAST and WONDERFUL African civilisation are directing their attentions to the wrong end of the continent! They and the religious groups,ignore the limited DNA evidence,including the most famous,that of Tutankhamun's which was completely controlled by Hawass and yet still managed to inflame practically every group who claim Egypt as theirs. And NONE of them seem to get their heads around the actual timeline, an argument made so eloquently,above by Ben! The wonderful thing about the Internet, as well as its greatest flaw,is that information can be disseminated easily and sometimes extremely fast. For the whole of recorded history of mankind,we've always had to differ to Egypt, possibly Sumner as the oldest civilisations. This has been quite a feat as it ment, that the Indus Valley & Norte Chico on entirely different continents had to be discounted, downplayed or simply ignored. Now with the discovery of Göbekli Tepe and the surrounding area,we're forced to push ALL of this aside and start from scratch. Into the new mix,has to be included an ENTIRELY NEW TIMELINE for the history of North America and with the man made deforestation of Southern America, we have to explain the VAST Population on that continent, too. In fact, almost monthly,both with the discovery of fossil bones,teeth etc,we've not only discovered the Denisovans, but, sites that contend for oldest. This is all well and good,but,much and as fascinated by Göbekli Tepe as I am,it still pales in comparison with feats of ancient engineering( there really is no other word) found all around the world! But,the monuments and relics found in Egypt are still,to this day,the most enigmatic. They demand questions and interpretation of the quality of the above video,it's maker ,Ben and his body of work. The time for the "Hawass mindset",will end as a result of the Internet and a growing demand by a generation of people who are exploring the world with no preconceptions or attempt to prove old religious books true.

I feel one of the biggest problems often overlooked is the sheer number of people and resources you would need to build these structures. Not so much in regard to general laborers, but the support staff. People preparing food, raising livestock, farming, dealing with logistics, just the management of an entire army of people and trying to keep everything flowing smoothly would be a monumental task.

These mathematically measurable attributes first appear around 40,000 years ago and then oddly disappear about 3,900 years ago.

[@filminginportland1654]

Randall Tufts “The tourist board” lol Unfortunately that’s basically what it is. Professional Egyptologists cannot allow amateurs to come up with theories that conflict with their own “truth”. Unfortunately this happens in all the sciences where orthodoxy reigns supreme and people with new ideas are often rejected for decades or even centuries before their ideas are finally recognized (assuming they ever are, and assuming they’re true to begin with). Someday, I imagine orthodox will tell us that _real_ Egyptian history goes back tens of thousands of years, as does the history of civilization itself. Given that we can see, at a micro level, certain innovations like indoor plumbing and municipal sewer systems pop up throughout history in relative short time periods, and given how long humans have supposedly been here on earth as we are now (current estimates are around 300,000 - 400,000 years now), I find it very hard to believe that after all that time, we didn’t “civilize” until 5,000 years ago. If what Ben says is true and there was a civilization before the Old Kingdom, it sounds like they had tens of thousands of years to develop. Which, if true, means they must have had technology far surpassing ours today. And I’d bet they’d had other “dark ages” and do-overs as we have had, likely going back hundreds of thousands of years. So who knows how many times this may have happened!

When found It had lost its head but Petrie knew who he was, thanks the written name on. He promised a remarkable present to whoever could find the head and the boys, after a lot of days of hard work, did indeed find it. B) You cannot possibly say that Huni fathered Sneferu, because if this was the case, the third dynasty kept going on", and there was no need for a "repeat of births", passing to the fourth. Het is the same situation of Netjeriket, son of Kashekemuy: if that was the case, Djoser belonged still to the second. But Huni is much more complicated because we don't know if he ever existed!

Fantastic film. Thank you for the amazing footage, much I’ve never seen before. Your theory of the co-opting of the ancient monuments is more than compelling… I feel like it instantly becomes the most likely theory if we force ourselves back to square 1 by acknowledging the very obvious use of powerful mechanical stone cutting tools. One thing I’ve never heard addressed is how they did perfect inside corners in three dimensions with a saw of any kind… the inside of the granite boxes for example. So much of it just looks like it was done with a hot knife. For me the pyramid has a giant water pump beneath it (looks exactly like a ram pump) and the water was used as the magic tool to build the thing. The inner “tubes” were flooded and the stones were hauled through using water pressure and ropes etc. I believe it’s still impossible to imagine the technology fall off… unless of course, the water dried up.

Herodotus said, that the planning alone for the Great Pyramid needed 10 years!! And that it was tougher than actually building the pyramid.

Logic would say that the plan for each pyramid must have been put in writing. Hard to believe that one guy had the entire plan in his head, and he spent years directing every aspect of the construction based on pure memory. Given the amount of time that has passed, it is very likely these "written plans" have turned to dust, but maybe one day scrolls will be unearthed that have the actual construction plans on it. Until then .........

[@robnorth7638]

About a thousand years ago, In a remarkably short period of around 200 years hundreds of giant buildings appeared all over Europe called Cathedrals and they are still there - as far as I know there are no drawings of them anywhere. A lot more complex than pyramids but nobody ever questions how the illiterate, innumerate workforces managed it or suggests that they were built by spacemen....the people who built them had basically the same tools as the Ancient Egyptians but we just accept that it's what they did. A thousand years before this the Romans were knocking up enormous buildings like the Colosseum, bridges, huge aqueducts that marched unerringly over hill and vale for vast distance while holding unbelievably tight tolerances, like a one metre fall over 35 kilometres...also the Pantheon which has the largest concrete roof dome of any building - even yet, but no mystery there either. A thousand years before this, the Greeks were knocking up great structures which are still there, as well as most of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but do we hear about "mysteries" or Spacemen? no we just accept that it's what they did - as we should do with the Egyptians..

[@abrogard142]

That's very well said. It would be informative perhaps to investigate whatever records can be found of the construction of stone building from that era which have blocks at all near the pyramid blocks. Possibly can't be found, but maybe. I'm thinking of the super large granite blocks inside. Anything like that elsewhere with records of how it was manipulated? And we should have a great light shone on the chronology very soon, I think. For I've heard, read text, where they say they can now test stone to see when it was last exposed to light. Maybe it has to a particular kind of stone. Maybe there's only certain time periods it can handle. I don't know. But that's exactly the kind of measurement we need of the pyramid stones, isn't it?

[@robnorth7638]

@@abrogard142 Moving big blocks of granite down from Aswan may not have been as difficult for them as we imagine - they had loads of practice and plenty of time...those 100 ton blocks in the Great Pyramid are dwarfed by the 1100 ton obelisk still in situ in the quarry, abandoned when it cracked...the quarry is close to the Nile and launching downhill is relatively easy (I've been to many ship launches and it only takes a slight angle and a bit of grease to get 50,000 tons into the water) before putting it in the river they would build and attach a "boat" to the top of it or more likely a large raft. This is an ancient way of moving heavy stuff - it's more stable and because the load is submerged it's lighter, in the case of granite by around a third. It's known that the Nile at that time ran close by Giza and also that there were canals running right up to the pyramid complex, so the hard bit would only be for a short distance.

[@abrogard142]

@@robnorth7638 You seem to have a good sense of how it all might be done. Any comments on moving those super heavy blocks uphill and mounting them on top of things? I can see they've been doing it all over the world for quite some time but I only have a hazy idea of the weights/sizes involved in different places (lintel blocks in stonehenge?) and the time periods when they were put up.

[@robnorth7638]

@@abrogard142 Elevating really heavy objects was done by pulling them up an inclined plane as we still do today. In Egypt the remains of a mud brick ramp can be seen at the temple of Karnak, used for constructing or repairing the massive walls and never fully removed. Lifting devices, or "cranes" of one sort or another go way back as far as the windlass atop wells which was upgraded by adding a large treadmill enabling several tons to be raised. Some originals are still in the top of Cathedrals from when they were built a thousand years ago. Engineering is not a modern thing - all the important principles along with maths and geometry were established thousands of years ago by "giants" on whose shoulders we stand.....the fact that we can exchange our very thoughts over distance via universal pictures (writing) is the truly amazing thing that came from ancient Sumeria and Egypt, not just that they had the smarts to move rocks about... Nb. The Iintels at Stonehenge are between 2 and 3 tons, erecting them probably with A frames, would have been kids stuff after bringing them from Wales...

[@abrogard142]

@@robnorth7638 I can believe it. I do believe it - the basic idea: the ancients were master engineers. Just don't have the ability myself to work out how they'd do things and would like to see it. Get the full story. Even of something as mundane as, say, walking the easter island idols - or perhaps the sheer mundanity of chipping out a 150 ton block - how many people did it take, how many work hours, what tools and techniques? It all interests me quite apart from the 'burning questions' of 'how is that even possible'. On the 'how is that possible' I've never forgotten reading a text by a civil engineer one time who described how he would construct the pyramids simply by making some kind of cradle, if I remember right, that lifted a block up one course. Always wished I could find that and the author again but never did. I've watched hours and hours of video now on megalithic structures and I'm always impressed by how they don't look for answers. Hours of pictures of walls never once showing the back of the wall or details of filling or joints. No investigation of quarries and fragments found there or not. No searching for signs of wear from ropes or sliding stones. Never any mention of queries with old builders locally... traditional methods... even perhaps a direct approach - could you build this for me now? It's all good. :) p.s. just had a thought. There's some drawings of Christopher Wren's work on St Paul's I think. Is there really no other of any of the major works? Not even including castles?

[@neonsashimidream1075]

It's interesting to imagine the possibility that the early dynastic Egyptians may have stumbled across the stone boxes within these structures, empty, believed them to be sarcophagi and derived an understanding that, under the right conditions, a person's remains might leave the Earth and go to the afterlife. The fact that the rooms were also empty, unlike their own burial customs, may have led them to believe that the person's prized possessions were also able to be taken with them into the afterlife.

20 years to build the great pyramid is beyond absurd. End of story. The only thing more absurd that I can think of is Zahi Hawass being a scientist.

[@przybyla420]

Shouldn’t you be watching CNN?

[@przybyla420]

Right, BBC then. I don’t see what the big fuss is with asking questions, no one can explain how they were made. The egyptologists are the ones who are positive it was done in a short period of time without machines/mechanisms we don’t understand (by machine I mean moving parts), and prove this with a circular argument (other copper age people must have moved huge stones on a massive scale using nothing but ropes and logs, as well as very precisely fitting them - therefore we know the Egyptians could do it).

[@przybyla420]

It’s not a fallacy to critique an assertion. Plenty of people assert some anti-gravity device was used - without evidence. This can be dismissed (unless evidence is eventually found). Similarly, without evidence, Egyptologists tell us all the stonework was done with abrasives, bow drills and copper chisels. They can’t duplicate the work, they merely assume it had to be done without machines. We have proof that they had lathes and did very refined work on them, work that the first generation of lathe turners would not have done (we can assume this using the Egyptologists own criterion - historical precedence, or the lack thereof).

[@przybyla420]

www.woodworkersinstitute.com/wood-turning/features/feature-mondays-a-truly-ancient-craft/ I say lathe, assuming people know it predates electricity by hundreds of years. The famous stone vases are clear evidence of turning. You would think up the idea of a lathe before you got good enough to make those freehand. Is it absurd to think the Egyptians had water power? Or wheels and pulleys leveraging human power or animals? The scrolls don’t answer any questions about erecting the pyramids (how to get the giant stones to the top?), moving the largest stones, doing the precise dressing and polishing of very hard (very large) stones. There’s all sorts of other anomalies you must know about if you’ve watched a few of Ben’s videos. Drill holes and overcuts with a saw (which involves no one noticing for hours that they’ve already completed the cutting). Hieroglyphics that look like they’ve been added later, because the object was done very professionally, yet the relatively easy task of a bit of line carving is amateurish.

[@przybyla420]

What does the thirty year reign tell me? Well for starters, that the academics have some serious explaining to do, since the math doesn’t add up :) Maybe the people who get paid to write papers aren’t experts in ancient technology after all, who would have thought.
