I may as well go far as to claim it as a horrifying sight, to gaze upon this massive beast of a structure and wonder for moments how they did it 4500 years ago. Although this video is the best documentary I've ever seen about the Pyramids but I assure all of you reading my comment that the actual experience is far better and breathtaking. I only regret that I hadn't visited the Pyramids sooner, taking in consideration that I spent my life living about 30 km next to the sight 😅

@@bentonrp most of the history on the pyramids is inaccurate, the pyramids were built well before the 4500 years that we believe and the sphinx is even OLDER. The water erosion on the sphinx points as far back as 11,500 years ago! No one really knows so take my claims with a grain of salt, as you should with any information regarding the pyramids. We’re not able to carbon date the pyramids so any “factual” time stamped on the pyramids is very inaccurate.

[@bentonrp]

@@AvoidAlex That is riveting! ...I had to look up the geological studies that led to the theories that Sphinx was built 11,000 years ago. It's possible that the bedrock they built it from already had the water erosion from that era upon it, and the original brick cladding explains why the structural layer was always built rough. But who knows. I am glad you told me about them not being able to radio carbon date the pyramids and sphinx. I always wondered why they didn't ever do that and now I know. ...Do you know why they can't radio carbon date these structures...?

The evidence for dating the pyramid is circumstantial at best there’s no evidence that the Egyptian actually built the pyramid looking at the evidence and erosion the pyramid was ancient even during the time of the Egyptians and keeping this lie of 4500 years old is proof how intelligent we say we are we have no way of re creating this pyramid in our technology is too precise the tomb is 1 10000 from perfect flat edge tools like lazers and diamond saws had to be used in the construction of the pyramid and the evidence there just look at the precision

[@brianmessemer2973]

This is easily the best use of Bolero as supporting music to a non-music topic I've ever seen. Bolero parallels the pyramids in many ways: the sheer length/size, its additive nature gradually increasing in dynamics and in instrumentation, the way in which the piece and the pyramids take a long time to build, the relentless repetition of the musical figures and phrases evoking the millions of stone blocks. And then there's the character of the piece - ceremonial, stately and full of pomp, the melodies and harmonies familiar sounding but somehow also foreign and exotic. What an outstanding idea.

[@JMOUC265]

I agree with the sentiments written here about the choice of Bolero. I would like to share a similar vision about how it might be heard. Many years ago, I expressed to others that Bolero seemed to me to be the music that might accompany a Roman legion as it marched toward Rome after a victorious battle, with children and citizens lining the dusty roads in awe of the procession as it approached, passed, and faded into the distance ahead. As the music reaches its peak, the Centurions pass through a huge stone gate and perhaps an arch and onward toward Rome and their rewards. Of course, it’s not the same as the pyramids, but still very grand.

I am beyond fascinated with ancient Egypt. I've studied it for years. They were so advanced and intelligent. Beautiful.

[@iliyasshaikilu]

09:27 you impressed me man, very clear explanation, thank you.

[@Jason-xb3jh]

So interesting hearing different explanations and theories for the pyramids and surrounding structures. I’ll leave it at that…

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thanks for posting. What a great job you did. I've seen many documentaries that I'm sure cost a fortune to make. But with this video I got the feeling that I was really there and you were my tour guild. Thanks again.

In another world i have climbed all 3 of these pyramids as Bayek. Great views!

[@majbrat]

Very nice - thank you. As an older disabled person there is no way for me to see these wonders in real life. Your tour & information showed me them perfectly. :)

This vid brought back a lot of memories. 15yrs ago I went on a Nile river cruise that started at Aswan and went up to Giza. It also included a mini trip to Memphis. It was an amazing experience to see all the different temples, the valley of the kings and queens, a rock quarry were they build the obelisk, and eventually to Giza to see the pyramids. I definitely recommend visiting Egypt if you get the opportunity. You just need to find a good tour guide/group.

[@patrizioorru772]

I envy you. My own trip to Egypt has been quite disappointing. The sites are definitely incredible but out tour guide prevented us from fully enjoying it. I do hope I can go there again

[@BonMooney]

@@patrizioorru772 why bother with a tour guide?

[@patrizioorru772]

@@BonMooney Well, Egypt is not always safe so everyone recommends to join a group

[@BonMooney]

@@patrizioorru772 I've been to Egypt 3 times and never had a tour guide. I always felt safe, even with my young children with me. It's so much better to have the freedom to go where you want, when you want. Cheaper too!

Wow! This was an amazing video. KZbin algorithm working wonders for me. I consider myself an Egyptology aficionado and I have watched so many documentaries on ancient Egypt by Discovery Channel, NatGeo, PBS America etc , but I must confess this has given me a better appreciation of the Pyramid complex than the rest combined. Awesome job

[@aenima1]

Very few of those sources will give you the actual truth. Most of the official narrative is a lie. Current Egyptian dept of antiquities will not let any more digging commence.

[@newyardleysinclair9960]

I've been fascinated by ancient Egypt since the 3rd grade. I remember the spark. My 3rd grade teacher had us build a tomb in a shoebox lol. It was so interesting to me looking up everything. Even as a 3rd grader

[@tubethis777]

Great job making this video, I have studied the pyramids for many years and I am glad to see how you condensed a lot of good information with your own onsite experience, gracias!

[@johnmorris7815]

I’ve been lucky enough to visit both the pyramids and the Cairo museum, an unforgettable experience.

[@aenima1]

Sounds amazing! Egypts current political climate seems a little too dicey for me to take my kids but maybe one day we will go.

[@wallytangofoxtrot4721]

Great video and architectural recreation. For better climatic and topographical context perhaps, you might want to look back more than 10000 years ago to re-create the potential paleo climate, vegetation and Nile River’s shore and span extent that surrounded these structures that are looking more and more like they significantly pre-date Dynastic Egyptian history.

[@voyaristika5673]

Best tour yet. Everything you need to know, guaranteed to make you want to make the trip to Egypt. Thank you!

Glad I found your channel. Unique combination of reality with a rendition of what the Giza Pyramids might have looked like. Very informative. Bolero was a good choice. Of course I subscribed.

Hi Manuel, I discovered you today, and I have to say your videos are really fantastic. I am Irish, with an interest into the celtic roots that connect Ireland, Scotland and Norway. We have alot of many interesting structures, I would be lovely to watch and listen to your take and explaination of them.

[@riririri100]

I thought there would have been trees and more tropical back then.

[@curtis7599]

Yep

[@larshoneytoast3596]

there actually should have been. The Nile's basin is huge and the river flowed closer to the pyramids around the time they were built. While the monuments were still constructed on the desert sand they wouldn't have been too far from palms and other shrubbery found along the river.

[@nunyabiznes33]

Not tropical but more savannah before the region dried up.

[@CityRockhounding]

Incredible video, I love egyptian history, culture, knowledge, anything pyramid related. I learned a lot, thank you for your work and passion!

[@CityRockhounding]

I also heard that the white outside limestone could have been quartzite and which also make sense why it had a white look. Either way, I'm learning new things and asking questions for my understanding and growth on the subject. Thanks for your time!

I definitely have to visit the Great Pyramids someday. It's mostly in rubbles, but I always found it fascinating to imagine how things looked like in the past.

[@mahmoudelrys6261]

welcome to my city

[@stijnvdv2]

Yeah. I see the chap in this vid is good at memorizing the official narrative. A narrative that doesn't stand scrutiny, but that's what we have. Egyptology is a profession less so based on science, but more about prestige of the people in them that are way too proud to accept even the slightest error in their judgement (or rather daydream) of the ancient ruins.

[@aenima1]

@@stijnvdv2 Yes, thats why they do not allow any more excavation as even without more and more evidence keeps emerging that shatters the official narrative

[@CEELOW3000]

BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS and very detailed breakdown - Well Done!

[@476429]

I visited the pyramids several years ago and this video does the best job of recreating the experience. You really get a feel for what it's like to be there. And you really don't understand the size until you are there. You intellectually understand they're going to be big, but when you stand at the base and look up, it is simply awe-inspiring. Even though they are on a different scale, I had the exact same feeling of awe when I stood at the base of the World Trade Center and looked straight up. When I visited the pyramids, we were allowed to go inside the middle pyramid. Only a few people did it as you must walk a long way up then descend through a long, tiny, smooth (no steps) corridor. It was about 5'x4', and it had a pretty steep angle to the descent. You arrive at a normal-sized room containing a burial vault. But you know you are completely surrounded and enclosed by this massive pyramid. If you have any amount of claustrophobia, I do not recommend it.

[@JubeProductions]

What a great video, so well produced and informative. I learned a lot in a short amount of time, and the video footage and pictures were great.

[@kaarlimakela3413]

Thanks for a lot of info not usually compiled together. I learned some things 👵 Belzoni! Naughty boy for tagging ancient treasures! But he was a typical 'antiquarian' of his day ... even a cut above in comparison! Didn't know Belzoni even got into that pyramid.

Wow though ... meaning I haven't heard it called Cheops hardly at all, not in decades ... But that is what we were taught in the 60s public schools I went to.

Me and my family visited Egypt many years ago. it was great to see the pyramids. My parents nowadays are pretty bitter about our guide who insisted that the pyramids were too boring inside so we didn't go there. My parents regret listening the guide's wishes who was more interested of us visiting giftshops and giving her than nice commission from the stuff we possibly bought.🙄
