The Khufu Pyramid Revealed

[@jean6872]

I planned on visiting the pyramids one day before I die. As a history teacher, I taught my 11-year-old students about ancient Egypt. Every year a new class. Then, when I retired I fell ill and now I am bedridden in Spain with any possibility of visiting Egypt out of the question. What a privilege it was to teach what we think we know about the pyramids even though I could never see them for myself. My comment here is like the graffiti left behind by those who got to Egypt and have passed on having left behind a few scratches while the pyramids remain forever.

This is the second time Ive had the extreme pleasure of watching (and studying) this video and its contents. It's a terrific piece of vital information for the continuing effort to pursue the completion our knowledge of Egyptology. Now, I can really appreciate why Zahi Hawass is so pissed off. To paraphrase: " Some French guy comes here knowing nothing, and makes a theory of the Pyramid. And the "Scan" programs were there simply to support his (amateur) theory." Well Dr. Hawass, J.P. Houdin isn't exactly an idiot. He's an architect, working closely with highly qualified engineers. These people are not fools. Of course he's pissed off, because it's been staring him in the face all his life and, "someone" comes along with fresh eyes and sees what he'd missed all this time. The recent "follow up" video from the "History for Granite" channel is superb. It has also some points of contention with Houdin's theory of the internal ramp but, it is firmly in Houdin's s corner. The bureaucracy of the Egyptian Antiquities Dept. is a real nightmare as long as Zahi Hawass sits on the board. And, the "hoops" Hawass has put up, for all to jump thru, for any further investigation of the internal structural configuration of the monument, are deliberately designed to fail. Houdin is clearly Sherlock Holms to Zahi Hawass' Dr. Moriarity! And , Hawass doesn't like being told, "It's elementary old boy!".

[@agentolshki4265]

Have you looked into the tomb of the birds? There's possibly a huge system of caves under the giza plateau that's not been explored. Andrew Collins rediscovered this cave system and returned at one point for a another visit to find hawass and Co had gated the entrance. As you say, he doesn't want others to make these discoveries. It's potentially the biggest unexplored system in that area and seems to extend under the pyramids according to one scan they have done. Even the new corridor they found under the chevron area is dumb. After all these years, no drilling or anything invasive, turns out you just had to push an endoscope inside.

[@Neehize]

When you realize that Bob Brier is a super star Egyptologist while Houdin was nobody in the field and you see how considerate and helpful Bob Brier is with Houdin, it's very heartwarmimg and gives a lot of hope for the future of this research! We need more people like Bob. Besides, Houdin has brought a lot of great ideas. We still don't know for sure how the pyramid but at least Houdin's ideas are realistic. On my end, my main question is Why did they build the King's chamber so high? Khafre's pyramid's chamber was built underground and that makes sense because this way you don't have to move those massive granite stones 43 meters high, you simply place them on ground level. Khufu's pyramid has an underground chamber like this, but it's unfinished. Why? Did the project get rescoped? Did the king want to be buried INSIDE the pyramid? Seems like that one project constraint that gives you 20% quality but requires 80% of the budget.

[@magellantv]

Asking the right questions! Hopefully, one day we'll know for sure.

[@matthewpettit4367]

It was calculated to be as high as the top of the pyramid would end up being so that when they pulled the outer blocks up through the gallery they would be able to reach the top. As the outside progressed the interior would as well. When they were done at the top, they took all material they used to build out with them on the way down n out. It was there to go up would be the only way back down to the underground where it all started from. There is One main tunnel going underground to access all corridors of the pyramid upward. Again they built up and deconstructed on the way down and out.

​ @Mike Carlton the problem when talking about the tools used (copper chisel, hammers/stones) is that from beginning (ancient egypt ) to decadence (roman annexation...don't take it to heart!) 3000 years have passed, and the tools have not evolved a bit. the most recent theories, supported by facts and not words, open on other questions but at least we stop going around in circles!

[@notadaytrader]

Stone mason myself. I went a few years ago to see the unfinished Obelisk in Aswan. Solid red granite, shit you not, they were scooping it out. Very very precisely. I have no clue how they do it. I’ve seen similar techniques today done with heat, but it destroys the natural grain structure. It’s incredibly what those fellow masons were capable of doing. Too bad there were natural cracks in the bedrock. My guess is, they got too greedy with the size of that behemoth. Would’ve weighed around 1,000-1,200 tons. Imagine lifting THAT.

[@johns1625]

Friendly reminder that the only reason we are prohibited from answering these easy questions because the man in charge Zahi Hawass is a fifty five year old toddler who is perfectly comfortable publicly insulting Jean-Pierre Houdin for being a "frenchy who knows nothing" as well as ScanPyramids who just proved him wrong a few months ago about a new found chamber above the main entrance. Thanks to them we now know there is likely a large void above the Grand Gallery that could possibly be a second Grand Gallery explaining the cap stones for the kings tomb! If Zahi either dies or gets out of the way we can finally answer these questions!

I didn't realise it required such clever ingenuity. I knew that they had to get their lines straight but geometry was their thing. As for the rest of the build I always thought it was brute strength. So it turns out it needed clever and complex engineering solutions. The architect and engineer had at least the brains of Archimedes. Visually, I think the facing stones amaze me the most. Cutting them at a precise angle and then placing them at a precise angle could not have been that easy.

[@magellantv]

Yeah, it truly took a vast amount of mathematical knowledge at the very least.

[@therealspaceman3447]

See my comment. I do not believe the white limestone blocks were cut before installation but were placed as square blocks and smoothed from the top down using the layer below to stand on.

[@ashscott6068]

The angle of each block doesn't have to be precise. As long as each one is cut to the same reference, it doesn't matter. One can be out a few mm one way, the next one a few mm another way, but when you have thousands, the errors all average out. Plus, the final finishing was almost certainly done with the blocks already in place. Very little math is needed. All you need is a way to place each block, in reference to a single known point, and the accuracy happens all by itself.

The grand gallery was so obviously built as the ramp to raise the largest blocks since they are all stacked at its apex. And it has features within that can only be explained as accommodating the equipment and wooden rails the blocks would have been ratcheted up by. They would have built the pyramid up to the level of the king’s chamber floor, then used the grand gallery to winch the large granite stones up to that level… and from there they would have been able to build shorter ramps to lift the massive gable stones up to the top of the chamber as they built the walls of the king’s chamber after all the big stones had been raised to that level. There is almost certainly a second grand gallery above the known one for that lift, although not being needed for the burial, it was likely filled in. When Brier expresses amazement that they would have built this huge and impressive space “just to lift the stones” he reveals his ignorance. Moving the 60 ton stones was the single biggest challenge for the entire structure. The vast bulk of the pyramid is made of stones around 2 tons which are simply not that hard to move. But those massive stones took some serious planning and even more impressive work. The features in the gallery are all mechanical in nature. The notches in the two rails I don’t think were to affix wooden rails. I think they served the purpose of ratcheting brakes. They would rig to lift and pull the stone up just to the next pair of notches, and the wooden pawl would drop into the notch and prevent the load from backsliding. Then they would re-rig for the next pull. Moreover, I think the grand gallery would have been used as the primary ramp for much of the construction up to the kings chamber floor. If their winch could haul 60 tons up a 50% grade, then it could haul 30 two ton stones up at a time. Or 10 at a time at a faster clip.

The only question seems to be whether the extended ramp wrapped all the way around the outside of the construction or whether part of it was internal. Dr. Hawass, not surprisingly, dismissed Houdin's idea and said Bob Brier is a "mummy guy", not a "pyramid guy". The muon scan failed to reveal the internal ramp but it did find some things that could point to it. The 1986 thermal scan certainly is intriguing.

I dont know if it might help but sand and clay is like millions of ball bearings if wet. the sand of that area of course is aeolian sand windswept. which make the tiny grains round. with my experience up near zion national park and in it. thats why the signs warning "if it rains you arent going anywhere and will not even be able to get back. MUCH more slippery than snow. (and I mean it I have experience in both being 70) doubt they used grease. if an Egyptologist should choose to test this theory without havening to travel much they can go to the area you will for a fact be stranded if water is introduced. They showed them putting water down in front of the sleds. If they take a few men and do a test like loading up in a truck some of the material and put it on a test slope like in parking lot not level the resistance will be zero. but they used the sand with copper saw no teeth? then how could they hew the stones at the quarry if this is a mix with no abrasion? Because it was quartz sand which crushed microscopely creating next to tiny sharp edged diamonds almost. Granite is not hard. thats misinfo given the public. Let alone limestone. They were working easily worked materials. Being retired machinist I drilled right through granite on my surface plates. Granite is a soft material. easily worked.

One is so out of reach even Graham Hancock had to admit it could not have been forged. Dr. Hawass gave him a private tour. Hancock's retraction is on his website.

There's really no argument there and no need for architects and engineers to be able to tell a piece of 4th dynasty pottery from a 5th dynasty pot.

[@davidestes4573]

From an engineering standpoint, The French architects' methods seem viable. Two things get me. One: The Egyptians new a thing or two about water. To float the stones is much easier than to transport them by dragging them by huge gangs of men even with rollers. They also new a thing or two about mud. I saw an Egyptian drawing in witch a group of men were dragging a block but between the block and the men was a man applying what could have been lubricant.Black Nile delta mud mixed with animal fat or even honey would have made a slick substance. This could be collected behind the block and recycled. Point two: The Egyptians chariot was like a sports car. It had suspension. The wheels placed at the very back for excellent cornering. I've heard of a battle between Egyptian and Hittite charioteers numbering in the thousands. What a spectacle that must have been. Having to joist in a right to right side crossing as most people were right handed. Just like European automobiles are right hand drive to facilitate using the the brake with the stronger right arm. Theories yes.But until the veil of secrecy imposed by conventional Egyptian scholars is lifted we may never know. After all, The pyramids have always been about tourist dollars and to remove the mystery would give away their magic.

Look here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJaVlGCul72gn5Y, new finding amongs experts. The scientific test on the rocks seems to show that rocks from the first Pyramid (saqarra) were the result of casting of geo materials, they call it geopolymer process. X-ray test showing the rocks contains bubble and the lower density at the upper part of the rock compared to that of the bottom, seem to be valid evidence that rock were casted from materials as commonly found in rock, such as silica. Thats why , as expert said, that man-made rock' seem like and indeed as strong as natural rock.If that theory is accepted amongst expert with further experiment/test,, then you are very reasonable to say the solution must have been different, that what the worker brought up were not rocks, instead it was geopolymer-dough (transported using basket) , look similiar when we see builder pouring concrete to make pillar when building a house. In addition, please notify that up-until now, expert found no gap among stacked stones, no abundant chip of rocks as waste from carving the rocks, no machine and tools (relating to cutting big rock and carving the block) found around the site ,these also indicate that the block of stones were not resulted from cutting and carving stone block.. With the theory of geopolymer, no more question about how and how many labor to brought-up a solid rock weighing tens of tons, and how they smoothly carved 'stones'. However the question about the geometric structure and how to arrange those 'man-made' rock still remain. Now how about other pyramids like Kufu, were they allegedly built through the same process as explained by theory above? I have no idea

[@seantice]

​@@anekata217 the geopolymer theory is a fallacy : The fact that this is not true is attested by the presence of nummulite fossils in the vast majority of the stones used in the pyramids and in the rock remaining in the quarry, which is only a few hundred metres away. This rock is a sandy limestone, or if, you like, a limy sandstone. If this rock had been processed as claimed, the fossils would have been destroyed.​ The other casing stone which has mostly been robbed, was a finer grade limestone from the Tura or Tora quarry just across the river and a little to the south. Easily floated across on barges. The only granite is in the so called Queens’s and King’s Chambers and the load relieving structures above them. The origin of this granite is exactly known.

As for the quarry marks, have they done any tests on the marks themselves radio carbon tests on organic components co rained in the paint, etc? I recall the incident about a decade or so ago where Zawi Hawass was hell bent on prosecuting 2 Germans for “destroying” one such mark when they had reportedly taken a couple extremely tiny samples from the red ochre paint, but the video that forthright and impeccably honest and voice of reason Zawi showed clearly the destruction of the mark! And suddenly they are being accused of destroying the mark and hounded internationally, their reputations in shambles, arrest warrants out for them, etc etc. Luckily a scientist had a video he had made of the mark (apparently videos aren’t allowed (?) which makes having your own defense proof less likely) but Dr Shock’s video clearly showed the date of a well documented trip he had made to the Great Pyramid which was *years* before the 2 German scientists’ research trip and it clearly showed the “damage” Hawass so vehemently accused the German scientists of inflicting on this treasured artifact of humanity had been there *before* the German scientists had arrived! Face meet Egg, Zawi side up. Why are they so against testing? It’s no wonder people come up with all sorts of conspiracies and believe outlandish things when the very authorities who condemn and ridicule such beliefs and theories are the very same authorities who control access to the verified samples such testing requires! It’s ludicrous! And when I hear academics denigrate the “ignorant massses” for holding such beliefs, I laugh in their pretentious faces because they themselves have forgotten the rule of science, that you go with the evidence NOT your treasured beliefs, so the ridicule they so freely heap on the public needs directed at the authorities in charge of providing verified authentic samples for testing by multiple independent facilities. And if the results show the Great Pyramid was likely likely built 500 to 800 years earlier than at first believed, how exciting is that? Surely the free publicity and interest such a find would stir up would translate to tourism dollars and fill their coffers! And the entrenched beliefs on both sides will survive as they always have, creating new justifications (“Aha! Khufu was named after Khufu Sr, a great great grandfather whose name was passed down to succeeding generations, answering an age old question of what era Khufu actually lived in - there was more than one Khufu, and likely his sons were also named after grandfathers as well! While the built at the end of the Ice Age folks will continue to believe there was something already there, an ancient structure or something that the Pyramids were built over and re-built and repaired giving all sorts of dates. So everyone is happy and we have so actual dates based on hard evidence! Win win situation for everyone. So why not do it??? It leads right back to the logical question that anyone would think: why not do the logical thing and provide samples for th]ping… what are they hiding and why??? Must be big and juicy! Aliens? Ancient fork lifts (if I recall, the German scientists took samples from marks on the heaviest granite blocks that they said looked like the lifting arms of a fork lift, and tho joking didnt those marks turn out to be iron, which shouldn’t have existed in ancient Egypt? How exciting to find evidence of an earlier start for the Iron Age, or an anomaly where it developed but then was lost again? Where did they get all the ore, surely that much didn’t come solely from meteoritic sources? Absolutely fascinating questions and research that would come out of it, yet it’s being intentionally stalled by the stifling insistence of imposed ignorance from the very authorities that should want the truth of their ancestor’s history! Unless of course it might prove the builders *weren’t* their ancestors…. Gees, now I’m doing it! Arghhh! TRUTH, Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities release the samples!

But if you're wealthy, you must be hiding the truth, so your claim that the wealthy are hiding the truth is in fact a falsehood. But similarly, If you aren't wealthy, you couldn't possibly know the truth, since the wealthy have naturally hidden it from you, You are not capable of perceiving the difference between truth and falsehood at all, so your claim is again false. Conclusion: Some people are under the delusion that the wealthy elites are the only ones with access to the truth, which they have the power to hide from everyone else including those who claim this situations exists. The logic of their claims proves they are suffering from a neurotic delusion concerning reality which they indirectly admit renders their assertions to be patently absurd and irrelevant, yet which they continue to assert..

Macaulay): “… This pyramid was made after the manner of steps which some called "rows" and others "bases": and when they had first made it thus, they raised the remaining stones with machines made of short pieces of timber, raising them first from the ground to the first stage of the steps, and when the stone got up to this it was placed upon another machine standing on the first stage, and so from this it was drawn to the second upon another machine; for as many as were the courses of the steps, so many machines there were also, or perhaps they transferred one and the same machine, made so as easily to be carried, to each stage successively, in order that they might take up the stones; for let it be told in both ways, according as it is reported. However that may be the highest parts of it were finished first, and afterwards they proceeded to finish that which came next to them, and lastly they finished the parts of it near the ground and the lowest ranges. …”

So why the best part is missing? Once they climbed and now waiting for an approval to climb again with a thermal cam? Can't be. Maby there was no ramp behind that stones.
