The ONLY Giza Pyramidion and ANOTHER Lost Pyramid | Ancient Architects

[@AncientArchitects]

This is my final “updated archive video” before I release new content. I’ve written a new script and I’ll be working on that tomorrow! But for now, enjoy this video, please like and subscribe and I’ll be sharing some awesome new footage from Turkey over the next few weeks!

[@perzontube]

new content!! YAY!!!! So excited for some new footage from Turkey!

[@Sibyle79]

I hope you had an amazing trip! I've enjoyed the recap videos very much.

[@DerBeinmann]

Wonderful 😊🥰

[@toddbaker9245]

Awesome! I am going with Adept Expeditions and Dr. Miano in a few weeks on a tour of Upper Egypt! I look forward to your videos of Turkiye. I am very curious about all the old tepes and I know you will do a masterful job on it.

Dude, I remember as a kid, sitting on the sofa in the 1950's, reading an encyclopedia about Egypt and what was known at the time. I was hooked! So much has been unearthed since then and you do such a good job of presenting it to laypersons. Many Thanks !!!

[@lostpony4885]

For me as a kid of the 70s the stuff on tv made it sound like the great pyramids the only one but i can see three right there. So frustrating

[@StirlingLighthouse]

[@loisrossi841]

Looking forward to the new videos. This video is amazing, considering the amount study over 100+ years thank you.

[@WallacesMysteriesofAntiquity]

Great video and cool little pyramid. I found out about it while researching Snefru. Its destruction is its own mystery, I wonder if it’s related to HFG’s theory that Khufu was despised by later kingdoms. Taking the tip off the big one and destroying the ka pyramid would send a message.

[@conniebenny]

Another excellent video covering a little known, but fascinating pyramid!

[@joconnor57]

Great video and full of interesting information, as usual. Thanks and I look forward to your next presentation.

[@QuinnMallory-od1hw]

It saddens me to see so much destruction, and there is such a fine line between restoration and unwanted additions that were never present. If only the people who saw cheap limestone to quarry could live one day now to see what they did. Wish we could rebuild all of these but it would just end up covering what we have left.

[@derrick_v]

Thank you for sharing.

[@l.f.p.8305]

Very interesting.

[@recoilrob324]

So many people over the centuries have looted, deconstructed and now reconstructed parts of Giza it's difficult to tell exactly how things were when they were built. I've read that even the black basalt base surrounding the pyramids has been reconstructed which is neat to get an idea of how it was in antiquity but I'm now wondering if some of the saw cuts and obvious evidence of advanced machinery that are found might have been made during the reconstruction? The whole Giza complex is very frustrating to understand and regardless of who and when it was built....just astounding work.

[@UnitSe7en]

There is no evidence of "advanced" (definition required) machinery. Saws are not advanced.

[@yerkeruiter]

Even rock weathers away in millennia. Anything expecting to still stand after all this time takes amazing architecture to accomplish that goal. I can't help but think they must've known for sure that not only would these constructions beat mankind's thirst for destruction, it would also beat nature for at least 10k years. In 6k years from now these things still stand while all of our generations are just reduced to "dark ages" probably. We'll leave behind only craters and atmospheric anomalies.

[@fablouis9783]

Thanks for that ❤

[@Ecstasio]

From Lidar imagery it would seem to be 23x23m, and unsurprising perfectly aligned, both north to south and east to west.

[@krystalarmstrong3181]

Very cool 😎 ❤

[@hgdolder]

@2:41 I don't think the surface area is 24m2. That would be a little less than 5m x 5m.

So if we have 3 satellites at 1/5th scale for G1...G1a, G1b, G1c. If we have 3 satellites at 1/6th scale of G2...G3a, G3b, G3c. If we have 2 satelites at 1/5th scale of G3...G1d & G2a. Is there a G3d at 1/5th scale of G3, to complete the triplet nature of satellites, that related to a corner or midpoint of G3 ???

[@leocar9481]

[@ShortbusMooner]

A changing room, like on the banks of the Nile, maybe? 🤔

[@MrTryAnotherOne]

2:33 I am a bit surprised that the 3 satellite pyramids were not mirrored to the north by three more pyramids as they did with the two boat pits.

[@VibrationsfromMirror]

3 months in a season, maybe? Storehouses during a season maybe.. will we ever know and admit it! ? Two sphinx's also.. to add to your idea.

[@VibrationsfromMirror]

Curious the small ones are called "satellites" as well.. is that a few moons?

[@RPLAsmodeus]

Were the pyramidion covered in gold or bronze? I always assumed that's why they were smashed off and robbed.

[@AncientArchitects]

Sadly nobody knows for sure.

[@lostpony4885]

Ive never seen any reference to them thats not speculative from much later times. Its just incomprehensible to me, this obsession with a contrasting-color bit at the very top. Why would they do that? Its peoples imaginations completing the stripped pyramids to an imaginary standard. To me a wrong color at the top would insult the beaty of the whole thing. Covered in gold, thats tomb-raider thinking. Why would the builders put gold at the top its just baseless.

Why is gold a wrong colour?​@@lostpony4885

[@haitheory]

The Great Pyramid was tipped with gold. Chinese Mandarin 大金字塔 ... Dà jīnzìtǎ ... "Great gold capped temple". Herodotus also informed it was gold capped and reported thus. Search haitheory for Racks & Pinions theory construction, known since 2006 😎

[@lostpony4885]

So weird to strip all the casing but the bottom ones unless it was all buried in sand while being stripped?

[@spigwrigs9268]

That's exactly the reason, all the rubble from stripping them covered a lot of the bottom

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

🙏🙏

[@louisbaldwin7097]

just a thought, could the northern quarry have acted like like a rain trap for the plateau and flooding in times of rain the quarry like a lake. if this was released at its south east end the water would've flowed down to the sphinx, like a stream banked on one side by the causeway. i think khufu made the causeway and the sphinx. the southern quarries don't make sense if you weren't using the causeway, if not you had to get the stone over it. also why respect the causeway in the first place, when it led from an abandoned village to something else that was destroyed and/or built over? Your earlier vids show how the 4th dynasty didn't seem to preserve much from the earlier ones. Also it does'nt make sense to leave a construction causeway there in place for years waiting for khafre (who didn't know he would be pharaho). Seems more likely the second pyramid was at least started by Djedefre, and the work taken over by khafre .??

[@douginorlando6260]

Local housing developers probably took the pyramidians and used them to decorate their new high end housing division. Check the housing development sales brochure if any are left after 3000 years 😜😊

@@UnitSe7en You're obviously too thick to understand there isn't a ton of cameras and very biased media recording your every move and purposely editing out anything that doesn't fit the "HATE HAWASS" narrative.

the GI-d is a small model before constructing the big ones

[@jdstar6352]

No doubt built long after the prominent Dynasty pyramids, possibly even into Hellenic times, by a want-to-be Pharoah. He would have been some small-bore local or tribal chieftain seeking to bask in ancient glories without knowing how or possessing more than a minute fragment of the necessary resources, but being for a brief time in possession of the local Giza neighborhood.

[@AgentM3tallion]

I wish someone would develop an interactive "game" where you could go through the building of a pyramid, and the actual ceremonies. Bonus points for it being VR. I legitimately have a hard time imagining how their society handled the death of loved ones. They "seem" so focused on death and it basically being the "bonus levels", that I am unsure if they looked forward to it. How were ceremonies conducted? Did people grieve in any particular fashion? Imagine starting off in the game as a laborer, having to chisel blocks to specifications, then having to move them from the quarry, then getting promoted to a planner, and planning one, then the grand architect or maybe a priest and performing ceremonies with as historically accurate visuals and processes as possible.... just to get a glimpse of their society....
