The Middle Pyramid Megalithic Complex - Vastly Ancient, was this the FIRST to be Built at Giza?

An investigation into Giza's massive and megalithic Middle Pyramid complex - is it possible that this was the FIRST pyramid built on the plateau, before the Great Pyramid? We dive into the history, details, and evidence for advanced ancient technology in these engimatic structures, including the Pyramid itself, the Mortuary and Valley Temple, the Causeway, and of course the Great Sphinx. We pose the question: did King Khafre really build all this - or was some of it inherited from earlier times?

However the role of the sun certainly has merit, but the idea of cyclical novas and the plasma universe needs a lot more evidence - and suspicious observers has a tendency to act like it's an actual fact.

Great upload Ben. I’ll add my basic thoughts here again primarily for the watchers/readers who haven’t seen them yet. In my opinion the pyramids/temples and Sphinx at Giza are at least 100,000 years old. Maybe even MUCH older. Essentially what I’m saying is that we (‘modern man’) had nothing to do with their creation. The theorising about ‘how’ they did it should be ‘why’ they did it. In my opinion it is very simple: They did what they did because they could, with ease, and no effort (or very little) on the part of the local ‘help’. In my opinion nearly everyone is looking in the wrong direction. Just my opinion.

Very eye opening and informative video. I really enjoyed watching and learning your thoughts and can't wait to likewise watch the second part.

[@rodbutler9864]

I’m thinking that pyramids like the Bent Pyramid and the Step Pyramid were attempts to copy the already existing great pyramid(s) rather than being older than them.

Now don't I love it when you have your solo lectures. The group things are ok every now and then, but not near as interesting. I do love Jimmy, but like him solo too! Thanks! I haven't learned to appreciate the Snake brothers, but perhaps I haven't given them enough time? The pyramids are a permanent message from the past to the future where we will at last understand their meaning. Their engineering was calculated to last virtually forever against any cataclysm or man made event. That my friend is superior intellect producing superior engineering!

Great video Ben!

Thanks for your research. I have yet to step foot on the Giza plateau, but from all of my studies over the years I agree with your conclusions. The erosion, believed construction time frames and differences in fine details of the site do not make sense with the current forced history. I have always felt the site existed long prior to Khufu and Khafre, and although these rulers did in fact leave their mark, they only repaired and improved the complex for their own purposes. I look forward to visiting the site one day and hope to tour the area with someone who shares your insight. I feel a connection to the site that I am unable to explain, and hope one day I may gain a deeper understanding as to why.

Your videos are better and more informing than anything I was ever taught in history. It would be truly amazing what knowledge we could unlock if everyone looked at history with an open eye and not just going along with what we are taught and in school books. Keep up your awesome work sir, it’s greatly appreciated 🙌🏼

[@rolandsaucier1006]

In my opinion, your channel is the best one on this topic. Keep up the good work!

[@T-bit]

Thank you for your videos Ben, I follow all the good people on KZbin regarding these subject matters. I feel that you are spot-on with everything you say backed up by what you show us. You have an amazing ability to hand us (in your opinion as you say) better views on the unexplainable in a nut shell, in other words you don't ramble on and my attention doesn't wonder. Keep going, keep showing and I wish good thing to come your way. Love from the UK.

[@rhondaturner2254]

Thank you for speaking my mind with a more informed opinion. Its never made sense to me why a people with such glaring ability to build a pyramid would use simplistic weapons to defend their lands. I don't buy the timeline commonly accepted either, and am grateful to have found your channel. Thank you so much for your search for the real truth.

[@christopherbatty3837]

This was the first pyramid of the group It's temple, the causeway & Valley Temple all predate the other major constructions: an ensemble. It had a different function to the 8-sided neighbour - in the whole of the pyramid field constituting "The Band of Peace", there were "strata" of pyramid functions, in addition to different eras of construction. *the "Khafre" structure was not built by him AND until recent times, held the name "Great" - I have not found why/when the title was given over to the one currently attributed the title. Enjoy your presentations - keep them coming !! Hakini Hakini !

[@MrDavidSalamon]

I am a kn amazed at the thoroughness of your approach. Great job!

[@georgekandalepas404]

Love the format. These filmed tour's that are just posted without any voice-over kill me. Great investigating with a good script. Cant get enough. Thanks.

[@RoxUniverse]

Fantastic work Ben! I hope they will let us investigate and research this and the many other suppressed structures soon. I’m amazed at how ridiculous traditional academics are when we even suggest that these where not built as tombs and they seem far older and more advanced than the old, silly and highly unlikely story they have been feeding us. Keep up your work, the truth is out there and current independent researchers like you are getting closer to solving the greatest mystery of all time!👽

[@grubercaleb]

Awesome video! There aren't enough video's out there on the Middle Pyramid, the Great Pyramid steals all the glory :) What I find incredibly fascinating is that all of these diorite statues and massive granite statues are not carvings of Pharaohs, but are carvings of what must have been real ancient rulers more than 12,000 years ago. So if that diorite statue is NOT a carving of Khafre, then who WAS IT?? And I'm curious...did they re-carve the Sphinx to look like this statue? If you look at a picture of the Kahfre enthroned next to a picture of the Sphinx, the headress and face look remarkably close. But then...did the Egyptians make smaller, simpler carvings of Kahfre...? It would be interesting to see a carving of Kahfre from the actual Old Dynasty and compare it to the diorite statute, and see if they look different or similar. Did Kahfre appropriate the image of the statue and demand all carvings of him be made in a similar fashion? Also....why the heck would such a beautiful statue be buried in a pit, and not displayed on some pedestal in the Temple? So many mysteries!! Thanks for making this awesome video Ben, looking forward to part 2!

[@AustinKoleCarlisle]

it's obvious that "ancient Egyptians" copied the dress and fashion of the statues of their gods.

[@someoneout-there2165]

Of all the videos I've ever seen of the pyramids.. this encapsulates the sheer size more than any other I've ever seen. It's breathtaking and genuinely a little frightening how huge it was, can't imagine how those people felt when constructing this regardless of how they did it.

[@harrisonv.7295]

You are extremely detailed and exact with evidence and facts. Another fascinating and enlightening video.

[@morenofranco9235]

Okay, Ben! I am now binge-watching the BEST of Egypt documentaries. I was in Egypt recently - JUST to visit the Pyramids. The names of the Pyramids - Alinitak (Great pyramid), Alnilam (Middle pyramid), and Mintaka (Smaller pyramid). When I was there I was astonished by the amount of water erosion. Round rocks do not form in deserts. Only in fast rivers and sea shore-lines. Love your channel. Thank you.

[@gerson112970]

You know I am glad you made this video few years ago I was watching a video of walking around the Giza complex and I notice that the stone blocks by the Sphinx temple were two types…. after viewing your video I do believe that the entire complex is much older…. Maybe 20k to 30k I hope one day we find the answer thank you for your channel.

[@michaelszynol763]

Great work, as always!!!One of the best channels on UT.

[@Depierres]

Very impressive presentation and beautiful footage. Many thanks!

[@elissitdesign]

Does anyone else notice the same behaviors in modern archeology, the sciences, and the US government. They’ve all become grossly hyper political. The first two were unexpected...

[@dogwklr]

All information held from others is powerful, on any topic. You're right and the idea is to breed dependence on trusted sources which used to be trustworthy and their former legitimacy has been co-opted now to spread lies or misdirection. People see them as THE sources for information, beyond question due to track record.

[@poetsrear]

Everything is becoming political. Even things like sexuality, gender, ethnicity, all kinds of soft measures of human society. A great dragon of chaos is consuming us as it's tail...

[@bimmjim]

I'm studying climate science at an advanced level and there is politics intruding. .. Academia has gone off the rails, IMO.

[@courtneybui5490]

I 100% agree about the great pyramid forgery of Khufu’s glyph. I thought the same thing as soon as I read about it in grad school. It was always fishy to me that he “suddenly” found a name 3 days into his dig where there was nothing before. I’m glad you are doing as much video content as you are of the site! It’s helps those of us who can’t travel there as much. Thank you!

[@ryanrex297]

Excellent video. Great quality and layout of ideas.

[@palmastudios466]

Lookin forward to see part 2 . Great Work...!!!!!!!!
