Finding Ancient Egypt's Great Lost Labyrinth!

The Great Labyrinth of Egypt is one of the most famous lost monuments from our ancient past - a mythical structure, far larger than anything else built in Egypt, with thousands of chambers - it was visited and written about by several of history's most famous authors, the likes of Herodotus, Strabo, and Pliny the Elder. Flinders Petrie suspected he had hit on the remains of the labyrinth in the late 19th century, and only some 12 years ago in 2008, his work was confirmed when large parts of the labyrinth were rediscovered, next to the Hawara pyramid of Amenemhet III. This discovery was met with resounding silence, and today, whatever remains are of the labyrinth are being eroded by inaction, and the rising water table in the area. This is the story of the Egypt's great 'lost' labyrinth, it's history, modern re-discovery by the Mataha expedition, and possible future...

Fast forward a few years later and there's no new discoveries, nothing to report, and I couldn't even find any news articles about it. Fast forward another few years and I forgot what exactly they discovered, just that they discovered something so significant that it would rival the Pyramids themselves.

[@jaymeselliot8181]

I don't know why Hawass tries so hard to suppress this stuff, according to him its because 'no one else knows what they are talking about'. My theory is he is on someones payroll , someone who wants modern Egypt to be known as the descendants of the pyramid builders--when it is more likely modern Egyptians moved in after as nomads, and this info hurts someones feeling or wallet. Pride and greed often ruin things for everyone. Egypt is already an incredible tourist destination, and the people are so friendly that adding a more advanced tourism circuit and allowing truth to guide the narrative of modern Egypt could change things dramatically, and maybe Hawass' handlers don't want that.

My friend, I worked on the Olympic Dam expansion project in South Australia. We were going to dig out the biggest open pit mine on earth. The site would have been the size of an entire city. To do this we had to lower the water table. How you do this is place a circular ring of boreholes. These then pump the water out. Not cheap, but could definitely be done to protect the labyrinth AND maintain agricultural water supply to Egypt farmers. The pumped out water can be channelled overground to ensure agricultural water is provided to farmers.

The worst thing to happen for the preservation of Egyptian history was Islam. Islamic ideology and praxology encouraged an appalling degree of pillaging, destruction and lack of preservation of these great polytheistic sites, which weren't even allowed to be repurposed while intact (only torn down for their base components)

You should hear what the Spanish conquistadors did to the new world they destroyed entire pyramids

The elevation of power and influence granted to the 3 Abrahamic religions, which are rooted from nomadic desert dwellers, is a great blunder of history. Which such an insistence in exclusively worshiping and adoring our heavenly father, it appears our Mother Earth has been neglected and mistreated.

[@Reign_In_Blood_963]

@Milton Bates You obviously know very little about religious ideologies.

In this video, as you talk about the fayun and the water/irrigation of peoples in the distant past. I recall my travels into Cambodia, Angkor Was and the bayun-system of irrigation that seems to have a striking resemblance not only in the name but the connecting channels between the larger pools....

Ever since Dr Carmen Bulture came forward with her findings I found it odd so much time had passed without further reactions from around the world considering the importance of such a finding. This my friend is the best documentary I have ever watched on the continuous journey to uncover deliberate coverup of the truth behind human history in the region of Egypt. I could not stop watching. Thank you so much for the level of detail to include many past historians and their written accounts next level!

[@rogerfurer2273]

Thank you Ben. This is very important work. I suspect that a reason for suppressing such information is that it would require a complete revamping of the current understanding of human history. Academia is not interested in learning new things, especially new things that disprove their current theories. A very unfortunate state of affairs. Your efforts to introduce the world to some of these bothersome objections to accepted views, will hopefully inspire others to take up the torch of real scientific inquiry, regardless of toes stepped on, or favorite theses overturned.

You live in the laberinth and you need the pyramid to survive whatever climatic yearly events you had between 18k and 12k years ago.

[@cfapps7865]

Interesting topic Ben and good video. . I first talked about this in 2015 and seems there is no new info. The antiquities council or whoever gives permission won't allow it to be excavated. Ever. Many of the older pre-dynastic structures like the "unfinished pyramids" had massive tunnels and chambers below them. They all did. This seems like a part of that. And the Hawara Pyramid certainly seems to have an earlier construction below the more modern bricks. What Petrie found below there was pretty amazing.

[@alphalunamare]

29:20 Just a small point, the agricultural irrigation is most unlikely to affect the level of the water table ... maybe a 1/1000 of 1% if that. Best to blame the Dam and leave it at that :-) A bigger question is: Why is the water salty?

[@Ness2Alyza]

My guess is that there is a lot of salt in the ground, making the water salty in those locations. But definitely a good point, and something I want to research now; thanks!

[@christopherbatty3837]

The building of the Aswan High Dam has caused multiple damaging effects: the SALT CONTENT now evident in the permanently elevated water table is sourced from the Delta area: a subsurface interplay of water movement in both directions due to the Aswan High Dam is causing percolation of the elevated table over all major sites of the remaining temples & structures, causing irremediable erosion from below. This subsurface - upward deterioration is not isolated: in my home Moscow, a similar fate awaited the famous Bolshoi Theatre - the foundations of which were totally structurally compromised. ..the building somehow JUST hanging together. In Egypt, the salt content makes a worse scenario than Moscow - what is being done by the Supreme Council of Antiquities & Egyptian Government ?? This requires international expertise.

[@Fin4L6are]

Great points

[@philgreen5638]

Fantastic video I will have to look at it again and again as there is so much within it Phil

[@TheWhore2culture]

Thank you,that was - as always - fascinating💥👊💯. Having spent much time in Egypt during the time of Sadat (my father being a friend)and more recently over the last 30 year,one quickly realises that THE ONLY THING that counts/matters ,as far as the present occupiers/owners of what we now call Egypt,is MONEY. Be it from tourism,generated by licenses for media production and most beneficial, blackmarket sales of antiques. The current occupiers of the country have created a narrative that gives them omnipotent control over everything. The spurious enforcement that they are guardians of their "ancecstors" achievements. Hawass, whose meretricious ego,can not be underestimated, simply keeps a file of projects - funded & carried out by others - ,which,he oversees & prioritises - exclusively - to his own advantage. Hence his current involvement in a project to "discover" the tombs of Cleopatra & Anthony. A woman who though world famous was simply the last of a Greek dynasty,at the end of 3/5 thousand years of the countries history & her Roman paramour, of course it's interesting,but,it's NOT ANCIENT EGYPT!?! I understand why it's imperative that excellent researchers,like your good self do NOT,under any circumstances comment on the Hawass/Department of Antiquities; it's politics, if you do you'll loose ALL access to the country and ANY chance of further investigation. As for us,the hobbiests & interested amateurs, it's obvious from any average comment section,under any video attempting to quantify any narrative other than the one being pushed by the Egyptian authorities, that we've decided who to blame for lack of progress - Hawass - and yes,a vast amount of blame can be fairly laid at his feet,but, why don't we attack Mark Lehner, amongst others AND THE ENTIRE CORRUPT SYSTEM? Both men,though they adamantly deny it ,now,had/have connections to a strange foundation based on the ideas of Edgar Case! It was through this that Lehner managed to gain total control,along with his mate Hawass,over the Sphinx project,not bad for a man who first went to Egypt, as a 'student' - of nothing at that time,just with connections to the Case foundation! Today,he's the Head of The Giza Mapping Project & holds ENORMOUS power over pretty much anything to do with Egypt, it's his insistence that the ENTIRE Giza Necropolis was built in a span of 85 years and he is still the ONLY person who has had access to The Sphinx & produced the ONLY known scale map! Check out their involvement in Hawass's US degree,which he of course denies. The Government is about to open the BIGGEST museum in the World,dedicated to its own agenda AND YET ONLY One to Five percent of the estimated sites of interest in the whole country have ever been actually explored. It has been estimated that over 70 million mummies were created (a VERY conservative figure),at one point they were ground up as an ingredient for paint,amongst other desecrations. The reality being that the government simply has ZERO interest in wastng money digging up more evidence that the people responsible for the WONDERS OF ANCIENT KEMET/KMT (which means people of the black land,the rich soil created by the annual flood of the River Ar/Aur,which we now know as the Nile),were NOT the people who inhabit the country today AND CERTAINLY DO NOT FOLLOW THE IDEOLOGY OF THE CURRENT STATE RELIGION! This amazing Labyrinth is just one of MANY THOUSANDS of wonders still to be discovered. www.dw.com/en/ancient-egypt-holds-priceless-treasures-yet-to-be-discovered/a-46849762. Your channel is superb and your videos & erudite narration among the very best out there. I can understand yours & others frustration at the lack of progress - particularly when there is good science backing up the reason to explore further - the sad reality,is that ,with no thanks to the like of Hawass,Lehner and the so called Department of Antiquities, nothing further is going to get done,that might pop their collective bubble of belligerence, particularly if it might prove or certainly question their fatuous narrative! Very best wishes to you,yours & anyone who's kindly read this far;apologies for any mistakes in my dyslexic rant😀👋🌟✌

I am by no means an expert in Egyptology, I’m basically a novice at best. But my mother instilled a fascination of history in my life. American history is my forté. Egyptology I’ve been in love with since I was a young man. Anyway, as far as the Labyrinth is concerned, with LiDAR and all other ways of seeing the landscape, looking at google earth around the pyramid at Hawara, the sand has left impressions of what I would consider foundations to the south of the pyramid. Upon closer inspections of that are, you can see 90 degree angles and holes around the area. As I go through older satellite imagery new holes are being dug within those vicinities. Are they fortune hunters or authorized preliminary digs? Along with the rest of your excellent work, I hope you keep up on this area about the labyrinth because I’ve read about it for over 30 years and my mind thinks this is a treasure trove of information.

Hell yeah! Been waiting for a deep dive into this subject and so glad it’s you Ben that’s covering it. I remember when I was going deep into this field research a couple years back I spent a multiple full late nights awake toiling away trying to find this documentary that was supposedly shown to a group of researchers, writers, Egyptologists, anthropologists, etc. at a conference in 2000 and then never to be shown again. I believe the doc was called “Chambers of the Deep,” and was planned to be released to the public but never was. Zahi Hawashedup Greasy Theory Alert, Possibly? Hide that info from the public? 🧐 I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. Shame on you, if so, sir

[@nobodyhere4667]

I kept thinking "...yah, why don't you hear more about this Great Labyrinth of Egypt?" I had heard of this as a kid because i use to love reading about Egypt and this incredible culture/history. Then the video gets to 16:30. That is one very good reason the powers that be are not trying all that hard to explore the site. The ruling class does not want anymore giant megalithic stone structures that are not constructible by modern standards.

[@singularitybound]

Many things follow this path.. god knows whats been swallowed by the Earth from times even further back.. This is just a great example of how easy it is for things to vanish or become lost.. I mean over 250 city's have been found under the oceans/waters alone that do not even have records.. Locations now that not only double the Egyptian timeline but 3x predate etc. So things that were lost even eons before thee Egyptians or Greek/Romans reach.. The sphinx alone was unburied multiple times even during the ancient times.. It shows how fast things vanish back into the sands, jungle, swallowed by the ocean/waters, Earth Quakes etc. And by mere feet or a couple meters (lit right below our feet) there are things far old and far deeper all over this planet.. Sunken land or entire continents alone being the extreme version.. Not just the city, or land, history all lost but the entire physical existence it sat upon gone.. It makes me think of when the internet went mainstream and things like videos of how the ground can literally liquefy became available by a simple search makes you think how that alone could swallow something whole without destroying it.

Of course we all would like to see the countries with all old heritage to pony up the cash and just make a project of digging up everything and so on. But politics takes its course.
