King Khufu, also known as Cheops in ancient Greek is one of the most talked about pharaohs in Ancient Egyptian history due to his association with the Great Pyramid, but in terms of archaeology and history, there is very limited information about him.
For a man who is supposed to have built the Great Pyramid, the most incredible human accomplishment of all time, why do we know so little?
Although most believe the Sphinx is way older, many alternative researchers do actually believe that the Great Pyramid was the work of Khufu because as the late, great John Anthony West pointed out many times, if you actually observe the Khufu graffiti above the King’s Chamber, it was clearly painted before the blocks were laid.
This subject of the age of the Great Pyramid is of course an on-going debate, but for the purpose of this specific video, I’ll assume West is correct. So, what do we know about Khufu? Who was the Shepherd King or Magician who influenced him? And where is the sacred book he wrote? Watch the video to learn more.

Interesting video. Check out my 'Bigfoot is in the cave with us' video
Totally on board with K’s monotheism, and the influence of Philistia which probably led to the K book and the closing of the temples. Have you seen the archaeological evidence I use for that?
The Great Pyramid (AIP) no, can you post a link please?
Ancient Architects could it be that the Priests of the New Kingdom might have misidentified the timeframe of when Kufu was Pharaoh? That Sufis was an entirely different king? Because there was a significant decline in Egypt between the Old and the New.
Thoughts?
Ancient Architects I’ve got a little out there now on my Instagram channel, @sagesilent but will do something more elaborate for CZcams... stay tuned!
Just an observation. If a shepherd was grazing huge flocks of sheep near the pyramids as they were being built, then surely there would have been a lot of grazing food for the sheep...not just sand.
If you take a closer view the plateau was covered in paving stones and around was sand. if someone mention sheep's so he is talking about the neolithic time there. the Building age of gobekli tepe.
The Nile used to run a lot closer to the pyramids, would have been a different climate brilliantmaps.com/nile
Sharp deduction
The Sahara used to be much smaller and there was once a time where most of Egypt was green and full of grazing animals.
A magician named Jedi? We know Jedi came from a galaxy far, far away. Ancient aliens solved. :P
WestOfEarth So basically, the Jedi used The Force to move the huge blocks??? 🧐
Many of the passages in the pyramids are the perfect size for Yoda.
George L. Is into aliens, prob where he got the idea.
@@jonathanbrown4 George Lucas is into aliens, so he turned the name of a 2500 BC magician into the name of his order of peace keepers in an alien galaxy so that one day when people heard the magician's name they'd associate it with aliens in a galaxy far, far away. Makes sense.
BY THE WAY, JEDI, in Arabic, Hebrew and Phoenician, means the elder one and also the house of capricorn, is called Jadi.
Khufu’s daughter must have been the most spectacular ‘lay’ in all of history, if she managed to finance the building of the great pyramid! Come on, that whole account has to be thrown for that one comment alone.
I don’t think Herodotus implies the whole pyramid was funded by prostitution 😂 But I imagine a night of passion with an Egyptian Princess would be pretty expensive 😂
Hahaha! 😂😂😂😂😂
Indeed she was 😂😂😂 your comment cracked me up
Herodotus was a scandalous man, which is why we love him so. He said the most outrageous things.
A) marketing my man, marketing. B) Often history contains mean spirited comments by the opposition.
The "Sorry Were Closed" sign on the temple was comedy gold.
It seems the more look into deep history the more confusing. I so wish we could know for sure who, when and why ?
Agreed!
We will never know...
if not anybody comes and tells us
What about Joseph as the Jepi shepherd? According to the Bible he became vizier for the Pharaoh, and by my calculation that should have being around 2000bc

If sheep were grazing, it must have been a lot earlier than Khufu's time... maybe 7-8thousand years ago?
Probably a huge stretch, but what first popped into my mind was Moses. Before he led the Israelites out of Egypt, he had left Egypt and was living as a shepherd in Midian. He then came back to Egypt from the East with all sorts of miracles that Yahweh had shown him.
Dear Sir, Thank you for one of the most interesting videocasts on CZcams. You have an excellent way of presenting your analyses. Khufu could not have had anything to do with the construction of the great pyramid. It required a laser measuring tool not invented until 1964. It could not have been made without the measurements provided by this high-tech tool using laser technology. Try to realize the complexity of the structure. Giving credit for Khufu is like saying Chephren’s statue of diorite was sculpted by sculptors in his time. Our guide in Cairo said explicitly they did not understand how Chephren’s statue could have been carved using copper tools of the period. Diorite is the next hardest stone next to diamond. There were power tool marks on the neck in the back of the sculpture. The builder of the Great Pyramid used high tech Tools, there are dozens of power tool marks in the basalt black stone base of the Great Pyramid. Granite stones were sculpted to mico-millimeter precision that baffles stone cutters of our time. The Egyptians found these structures. Cortez asked the Aztec’s if they had built Machu Pichu, they told him the gods built it. The Great Pyramid of Giza was a machine, it is one of the most incredible buildings ever built. It’s inner surfaces are all level after countless earthquakes. The precision involved is beyond anything our builders could match today. Thanks for your great work, and we respect your opinions.
You do realise the pyramid is not perfectly made or aligned, would you not think it would be more accurate with such advance technology you are talking about. You can do amazing things with sticks and stones.
Thank you for your response. I am happy to discuss anything about ancient archaeology because it is fascinating to try and understand how some of the structures were made. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the cherry on the top of the cake. The last minister of antiquity in Egypt said that every week somebody told him a new theory. What strikes me are the panoply of facts that tell us this structure is something special. For example, can we imagine Khufu's architectes would know how to install ball and socket expansion joints in the Great Pyramid? Well, whoever made it put in expansion joints. It's built with the same principle of an electric cord. The outer layer which has since been absconded was a limestone that was a poor conductor of electricity. Underneath it, the next layer of limestone from a different quarry was. The granite stones are known for their ability to conduct electricity. The sarcophagus in the king's chamber was put in place first because it was too big, and then the room was built around it. It has been calculated that a 2000 pound drill was used to hollow out the solid piece of granite. The 70 ton granite stone pieces put in as the roof of the king's chamber were hoisted 140 meters into the air. Why have seven roofs? Obviously to contain pressurized industrial manufacturing exhaust. That pyramid was a machine. There are about 28 things on the list I've compiled that defy understanding. Lastly, we have on tape construction company bosses who say categorically that they couldn't build something like that today. Say what? These are builders who have constructed enormous public works projects. What does that tell us? It tells us whoever did build The Great Pyramid of Giza was one hell of a builder. Try to imagine building a stone structure able to withstand earthquakes and do with it with 2 a half million stones weighing tons and none of them the same size. If you put a level on the sarcophagus in the king's chamber it is dead level. For me, seeing the tools marks on diorite, granite, basalt, and other stones tells us power tools were used. There is a diorite vase in a museum where I live, one of the 40,000 that were found under the red pyramid. It is hollowed out on the Inside to 1 centimeter; the guards were astonished when I pointed it out. Diorite is second only to diamond in hardness. How can you hollow out a stone vase? We can't do it today. Boys and girls these weren't bronze age people who accomplished these feats.
@@tekannon7803 firstly, I have looked into most of your points before and don't think they have much weight. They seem very Graham Hancock or John Antony West whom i have watched and read most of their work. I could go into what i found but I don't think there would be any point. Not saying we can explain them all but to fill them in with power tools and modern technology is a big leap in my opinion. Secondly, if there's one thing we know is that ancient peoples especially ancient Egyptians is that they loved to boast about what they have achieved or created. So do you not think if they created such technology they would've wrote it everywhere on everything saying how great they are and how godlike they have become. Also, the point about us not being able to do it now is a known starter. I could list amazing things we can do but instead, I'll say we have humans in the ISS flying throw space now and have put people on the moon, us humans have walked on another body in space. So to say we couldn't stack big blocks of stone on top of each other is underestimating what we can achieve. I think it's amazing what the ancients achieved and am amazed everyday when i learn more and more about our past.
Thank you for your thoughts. I am not an expert in archaeology or the moon trip. What I do is study the research others have done and try to stay as neutral as possible and not let myself fall into one camp or another. What I have researched about the Apollo moon landing is from Peter Hyatt and Richard D. Hall, among a host of others. Peter Hyatt’s analysis of Neil Armstrong’s testimony is damning evidence that they never went there. He is a speech analyst. Briefly, if you asked me did I go to the pub last night - which I did, and I answered, “People go to the pub to meet their friends and have a drink. You have all kinds of experiences… What’s missing in my answer? First person pronoun and past tense. When you say, “I went to the pub and saw a few of my friends” you’re talking like someone who experienced it. Neil Armstrong never once said, “I saw this or that” etc. He said "we saw, we went, when you walk on the surface"… It’s interesting stuff. You’re of course right about nothing being recorded by the Egyptians. How we would love to find written somewhere that they were so proud to have thought about putting ball and socket expansion joints in The Great Pyramid. Or how they knew the king’s chamber was going to be too small, so they first sent up 140 meters above the ground, a solid 70 ton block of granite, built the king’s chamber around it, and then hollowed it out with a 2000 lb drill. The Great Pyramid of Egypt is a time-capsule to some people, and I think it probably is there as a message sent through time, to tell us something. And I think it’s going to be discovered that what they want to tell us is that something wicked this way comes . . . meaning a comet, asteroid or climate emergency. But again, I want to hear all the facts.
@@tekannon7803 sorry but you have lost me with the moon landing being a hoax. Good talking to you anyway. ✌

@Ancient Architects I believe myself a very skeptical and science oriented person, not one to easily buy into any sort of “conspiracy”. With that said, I really believe you are on to something lately. I’ve watched your channel for a while, and your recent research on the Giza plateau is remarkable. You’re doing really good seemingly honest work, and it’s truly applaudable. Unbiased and open minded. Keep up the good work!
2.3 million blocks cut and laid in 20 years is the flashing red light imo....it just isn't possible then OR now
I wouldn't say impossible. It's 26 blocks an hour, assuming 12 hour work days.
Very impressive, but not impossible.
IncandescentWithRage
Quarry, cut, dress, transport and lay. 26 an hour stones were over 1 ton impossible even if they worked 24 hours a day.
There is little information about Khufu, written in the Papyrus westcar. There is written about About magician Djedi and Khufu's obsession to find out the secret number of rooms in Thoth's sanctuary. Djedi lead him to Heliopolis he was talking about a Box. Further the papyrus says Khufu was chronic "bad in cash".
A box of knowledge or a famous box of another kind?
@@theRhinsRanger Just i talk to a Greek Egyptologist. he is saying egyptologist are in a dead end because of how they translate ancient Egyptian by using Champolion methology and using Semitic link to make sens. in my opinion the whole dynasty picture is wrong, we have there. Its clear the GP and the two other Pyramids, dyn. Egypt name is (MR). can not have been built by a society, these just before 4 dynasties above, so approx 500 years. Which did carve crude signs in elephant bones. The age of Menes.
About this mystic box. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Clarke's third Law
Here's a thought. Joseph came from a family of shepherds further east, and became second in command to the Pharaoh. He also worshipped one god. A few centuries later, his family, the Hebrews, left Egypt and founded the nation of Israel, as well as the city of Jerusalem. Could he be the one that is being referred to here?
I honestly don't think that he's responsible for the construction of the Great Pyramid or anything like that, but there several interesting parallels between what was presented here and the book of Genesis.
Its my understanding when they dated the paint kufu name was done in it dated to the 1800s
I’ve heard this... I actually hope it’s true! Will do some digging.
I seem to recall it was some German reseachers/scientist and because of this they are now banned from thy pyramids

I don't know what's true about this paint or not but to me it just seems weird and off. If I understand it there's not a single hieroglyph in the Cheops pyramid, nothing at all. But this. It's weird. Correct me if I'm wrong but other burial cha,bers, tempels and whatnot is filled with hieroglyphs.

@@MarvelousOldWorld Exactly! Why does no one ever want to talk about egyptian/kemet history before the last 2-5 thousand years of their mass invasions. There is proof that life existed in the lands of Egypt more than 50,000 years ago yet no one ever wants to teach about anything that happened before the land was invaded and ruled by others.
I’m not sure if you’ve discuss this already but, why is there a chunk of the pyramid missing @ :42,,, straight up on the edge almost at the top??
I once wrote my name on the interior of the outer hull of a ship undergoing repairs. I guess that means that I built the ship.....In all seriousness, there is no reason to write your name on an interior space, if you're the one who built the space -- you write your name on the outside, so that everyone can see it. Since the pyramids don't seem to have ever had that on their outer face, I'll stand on Vyse painting Khufu's name on the block, out of frustration and embarrassment at not finding a single scrap of evidence as to who actually built the pyramid. That is the one thing that makes more sense than anything else.
He didnt paint his name, the workers painted it. It translates to gang of khufu or something like that.
Which reinforces the point even more -- this is the equivalent of "Kilroy Was Here", assuming that to actually be what it says. Recall that one of the main issues in deciphering the Hattusa language was that while it was written in cuneiform, the pronunciations were gibberish if you tried to read them in Sumerian or Akkadian. The Hittites had simply employed an established written system, adapted to their phonetics. The idea is not fanciful, in the slightest -- we can easily read 2,000 year old Roman inscriptions; there is no reason to suppose that the Egyptians couldn't do the same, in the same timeframe.
Whether the scribbles inside the pyramid were made by construction workers or Vyse, there is still absolutely zero to connect the Pyramid with Dynastic Egypt.
Please publish a book.
Hi Matt,
Another super fascinating video. Lately I can't help but notice at several sites,including sites in Peru and Egypt and others too ,that you seem to be pulling the timelines in a bit closer . Noticeably more in line with commonly accepted timelines. You have suggested over the last few months ,that the Romans moved the huge blocks at Baalbek ,that the stones at some of the major sites(can't spell them,no wish to try!) in Peru are made of manmade geopolymer stones(which sounds right) and again,the hugest of which ,you say may not have been placed by an unknown maker but by the Inca,not feeling that one.Also there are plenty of examples in Peru of natural stone being manipulated as well. Now with this one ,you clam Khufu may actually be the builder of the Great Pyramid.
In all of these cases,esp. Egypt I'm wondering why the change of heart? The Egyptians did seem to make an effort to document their time and their culture ,as much as they could. Yet at no time did they document anything at all to do with building the Great Pyramid or indeed the actual Giza plateau itself. Both of which,rank among the greatest accomplishments credited to man on the planet. Did the Sphinx builders create the whole plateau and then just stop after a few buildings,leaving empty prepared space for future constructions? If this guy was such a megalomaniac,why was his name hidden away,not to be found until modern times? It does seem,based on your video and others, Khufu did indeed do some MAJOR renovations at Giza during his time there. Although I don't agree with you that he is the original builder,I do think it's well within reason to say he did renovate an existing one already there ,which does fall in line with what you have said about all the pyramids being renovations,I think that is dead on. If indeed that cartuch is real,that would pretty much prove this guy may have been many things but not seeing megalomaniac at all. It would mean,even renovating and possibly greatly increasing its original size ,he was being very humble about it indeed. Like his buddy had told him,you don't write on these structures,ever! but he couldn't help it and snuck that little mark in anyway.
Even more telling,no other Pharaoh ever took credit for it by simply writing on it that they did it,that is the most un -Egyptian thing I've ever heard.
This also suggests,that the Egyptians did indeed also have access to some major portions of possibly old technological knowledge we nothing about. This too,they don't ever document ,why? (Only answer,that makes any sense to me: they just didn't know) For instance the geopolymer and the moving of impossibly large stones into spaces we simply don't understand. Not to mention the sheer size of these things. Or the incredible scientific knowledge directly build into the Great Pyramid,which would have placed the Egyptians leaps and bounds ahead in astronomy ,physics and a half dozen more super serious sciences. Yet they didn't build any machines showing any such prowess or did they,as the pyramid itself ,might turn out to be the Krell laboratory! Either way,this depth of knowledge certainly didn't improve Khufu's ability to shut down the religious manipulators of Egypt,anymore then we have been able to turn off the damn Vatican. That just doesn't show where the intelligence at the level needed to build the Great Pyramid is coming from. (or possibly the real builder,didn't think local politics was of any interest to him.) I'm also thinking Khufu and his buddy ,I had never heard of before your video, absolutely knew things others did not and it is well within reason to suggest this person,who ever he was ,grazing his sheep at the biggest construction project practically in human history ,just opens up so many questions,they would take a lifetime to answer. This guy,whoever he was,totally had the Khufu mesmerized to the point,he was renouncing his own local heritage,went against the powers that be and was on a mission to change Egypt into whatever it was his buddy was suggesting and Khufu,absolutely believed he could and more to the point,he should. Which also suggests,his new buddy wasn't a mere shepherd.(Is being a shepherd ,how the "old" ones moved around?) Yet when he completed the pyramid and it did whatever it does,the people still sided with the old school religious leaders soon after his death and fought their way back to their old priest driven status quo. Guess the regular Egyptian citizens weren't very impressed with whatever it did.After all that work,must have been pretty disappointing for the old priests to waltz back in so easily.
Frankly that just rings wrong to me. Whenever and whatever this thing did,was probably the single most mind blowing thing human beings had ever seen and experienced and it just doesn't make any sense,the Egyptians wouldn't have written about it, time and time again. Perhap Khufu had a major role in making it the structure it stands as today, but I think it's function was already done and forgotten by this time. The Egyptians never saw it "work",if indeed it ever did.
Maybe all it ever was is a huge scientific warehouse,that they hoped nature couldn't break,despite what they knew about previous cataclysms but based on it's design,to me,that seems doubtful. Pretty sure to you too.
After watching this video,I'm also thinking Khufu,was probably a good guy and as usual his real history has been smeared and altered by the horrendous evil of organized religion,plaguing mankind relentlessly forever and ever. It would seem there has always been someone around to take advantage of the weak and the stupid and the lazy,sound familiar?
I apologize for the length on this post but I love your channel,it's absolutely one of my faves and if you're taking new views on,I really want to understand why.
Take Care
Rich B.
PS I also strongly disagree about the Romans moving those huge blocks at Baalbek. If they could do that,they absolutely would have talked about it and done it more than once and certainly in Rome itself.
PSS:Also huge apology about the red text,I made a bunch of spelling errors and when I corrected them,it turned the text red,haven't a clue why or how to fix it. Guess I won't be building any pyramids soon huh?
Clearly there is a lot of confusion about who built these structures and given the astonishing feat that surely is surprising. However, someone did, but no matter who is attributed with the construction there is no explanation of how it was done. Due to the lack of engineering knowledge of Egyptologists it seems how they were built is overlooked in a struggle to decide who was who and what they were supposed to have done. The indisputable facts are that the Pyramids and many many other artefacts in Egypt cannot have been made by these people if we are to believe the Egyptologists account of the tools they possessed. It is not an exaggeration to state that reproducing the Giza pryamid complex would severely strain modern technology, and many artefacts e.g. the fallen Rameses statue at the Ramesseum and the unfinished obelisk at the Aswan quarry would be impossible to recreate, move and position with current technology. if we go back just 100 years then none of these artefacts would be possible to reproduce. Given that fact how could it be possible that primitive tools and primitive mathematics possessed by Khufu could achieve this? As far as I am aware the ancient Egyptians did not leave any detailed description of the pyramids construction which if they were responsible would be odd not too mention their achievement. I understand how Egyptologists can get very enthused by their subject and I am sure many of their theories and assumptions are probably correct but unless the hard, physical, measurable enigmas of these artefacts are addressed the whole things is, well, academic.
Bit ‘story of Joseph and his coat of many colours’, possibly the papyrus is the origin of that bible story. Good vid as always 👍
Right, it sounds like he's describing Bible passages verse by verse
The Sphinx is not a representation of the Aten, which is depicted as a disc (the sun). That has no relationship whatsoever to the great sphinx
What brings anyone to the conclusion that Kufus name could only be put on that stone before construction?
I believe West says that one of the Khufu graffiti marks carries on beyond a joint in a corner of the relieving chamber. Hard to explain without a diagram!
@@AncientArchitects No one knows if the graffiti carries on under the joint. There is big doubt about that...
myblog.robertbauval.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/1.The-FULL-Cartouche.jpg. a simple Google search shows that is hardly conclusive and simply a theory. Like everything archaeologists say. Notice how it starts out big and then gets smaller as it runs out of room? Ever done that when making a sign or poster? I have, lol!
I dont buy that kufu built the pyramid
It sounds as though Khufu revolutionised the court and evicted the priest caste and introduced monotheism and a new divine priest who was a healer. That would surely have sown the seeds for the future priest descendents to erase his record. The grip of the priests on the treasury of egypt is well recorded and the implications of their plunder are likewise well recorded. There would have been immense resentment and fomenting of revolt if this interpretation is true. Thanks for your analysis and I trust others can build on the social and political implications.
The Hyksos were finally overcome c. 1550BCE following the devastation in the nile delta from the Thera volcanic disaster. This is recorded in the Tempest Stele and in the volcanic record. The Tempest Stele goes to great length to affirm the rights to wealth of the priest caste.

Perhaps Egyptian Authorities want to prevent people from discovering the truth - Ancient Egyptians did not build the pyramids...
There's a second chamber connected to the king's chamber that is much larger. It's already been looted though. I've heard that in that chamber there is a passageway that goes down further below.
Possible stupid question, but is there a hieroglyph that depicts the pyramids?
No
The problem I have with accepting the name of Khufu written on the Great Pyramid as genuine is because... after building one of the most amazing structures in the world, Khufu only leaves his mark as a signature in sloppy, painted text? And no other visual art and text as is typically found in Egyptian architecture? That's like saying after erecting the tallest skyscraper in the world, the architect or company signs their name on an obscure corner of the building with a sharpie pen.Unless, all traces of Khufu's name, art and text was actually erased for reasons described in this video?
Seems that after Palpatine and the 501st destroyed the Jedi temple, those who escaped fled to earth and built the Giza complex as the base with which to rebuild the Order.
All seems plausible to me 😂
Ancient Architects Much more believable than the ridiculous Ancient Egypt/Battlestar Gslactica storyline of the 1970s. 🤮
Another interesting hypothesis.
Where's the link to the new channel..?
Doh - forgot - bear with me!
Ancient Architects you should also do a piece on Djoser, was he REALLY behind the pyramid that was supposedly built by him, and what are its true origins...
You've made some big leaps of faith, tenuous connections and assumptions there, entertaining ideas though.
im trying to understand why the graffiti is said to be authentic and 'in place when the stones were positioned'. is it because the graffiti was present behind a section of mortar? or is it because of its proximity to the join with the next stone?
also did khufu have an elongated skull?
Another oddity and contradiction in this story is the contradiction of bringing sheep herds into this area of Egypt during which time Egyptians viewed sheep as filthy animals and were not allowed in the land.
Exactly - v strange - implies an outsider
Might also be misunderstood to be a herder of sheep versus goats or cattle. Also, if Semitic influence from the Delta kingdoms was impacting Egyptian Kingdoms in the mid-Nile region; that wouldn't seem too outrageous, would it?
@@AncientBert Joseph's family was given the luxurious land of Goshen, where the Hebrews prospered, specifically because sheep were abhorrent in Egyptian culture at this time.
What I find weird about the videos of Egyptian/Arab goat herders, during the last 100 years, is the land the men herd their goats in is always devoid of green vegetation. This includes re-enactments of finding the Dead Sea Scrolls. The land is barren of everything except rocks and sand. That always puzzles me.
Why did this outsider have such influence over a leader who didn't even respect what he did for a living?@@AncientArchitects
How can you tell it was painted before it was laid?
Because it’s also on some stones laid in a cavity and you need a mirror on a pole to see it meaning it was done before they were laid.
@@1TheWhiteKnight1 cool. Are there any videos of this on CZcams?
Sarah-Jayne Mcdonald yes, that’s how I know :-)
@@1TheWhiteKnight1 lol. What did you type into search bar? Iv typed in a couple of things but can't find anything. Was it on 1 of John A West's tour videos?
Sarah-Jayne Mcdonald I’ve watched hundreds of videos on the GP and only ever seen one where this is mentioned. It was a US reporter doing a documentary possibly for Nat Geo and he was allowed to climb and enter the relieving chambers above the kings chamber and see the cartouche for himself. Here it was explained about the paintings on the other stone and why it can’t be fake. Maybe if you Google it you will come across more details.
Something to consider: What if ... they FOUND the Hall of Records, and THAT is why the old ways were shunned, the temples closed and traditions ended ... what if they found out it was all a lie. But people like their ways and habits, and if the communication of this evidence was limited... the social/religious upheaval would be huge.
Greatly informative. A flint box? Schoch's lioness with a triple mast on its back was not, I believe, the Sphinx. The hieroglyph clearly represents an ancient Egyptian key with a lioness for its 'bow' (thumb pinch grip). Was it the key to that box?
I think that the Magician may actually be the Sphinx itself - the story is allegorical perhaps and the secret is under the Sphinx - I dunno!

That terrible day. The great pyramid and a few others existed when the ice sheets were destroyed. Trillions of tons lifted off the crust, the snap back of the crater was exacerbated by this and raised the crust by a few hundred feet in a few seconds. This was the ripple across the world that caused tidal waves in Titicaca and snapped obelisks in Giza. Obviously the dynastic Egyptians stumbled across this stuff and recycled so much of it. The immediate displacement of weight may be responsible for Chandler wobble too. If you were lucky enough to survive, most didn't, you were in for a life of scrounging for your next meal. All knowledge is lost in a generation. We are so delicate.
Good vid, only mistake is that all three pyramids were built before the invasion of the hyksos, so there was no foreign influence to monotheism nor the pyramid building.
Here before 100
👍
Please make a video about the papyrus found at Wadi Al-Jarf which supposedly talks about Khufu building the pyramid?
Interesting. My understanding is that Thoth built the pyramids.
I may be of a different opinion with you about the age of the pyramid, nyt then, that is me. It was interesting to learn they used machines to lift the blocks to their respective position. That is indeed a possibility, because so much time has passed from the tule of Khufu that any and every machine is probably rotted or rusted to atoms. Khufu is truly controversal personality. I even think he may have been from a blood line, surviving after a cataclysmic event and the Magicin Jedi a real decendant of the pre-cataclysmic culture. With the knowledge of the ancients. Even National Geography series of Egypt and its history avoid nicely the age issue and yet claims certain aspects being older than mainstream history still taught.
This is the way I understand the Giza plateau, after having read hunters and hundreds of pages from many decades and having visited the place I am as curious as I am of the Antarctica. So far you have had the best reasoning of all, and it is a sign of a brave soul to say to be of a different opinion than earlier. I respect that very much. Errare humanum est. (To err is human, old Latin saying)
"The Story of Imhotep" in the Wescar papyrus is a cipher that pertains to the pyramid of Khufu.
If you solve the cipher, you will begin to understand a major purpose of the pyramid(s).
The solution is piece or part in a greater (system?).
I would have posted links to a translation of the text but that is not permitted here.
All the best.
Wondrous
“Modern archaeologists believe that the pyramids of Giza, of which the Great Pyramid is a part, was constructed during the 4th dynasty period of ancient Egypt (c. 2575 - c. 2465 BCE). Attempts at radiocarbon dating of decaying of organic materials such as wood and bones, however, have not been very conclusive so far in establishing the date of construction of the pyramid itself. Helena P. BLAVATSKY wrote that the construction of the Pyramids were much earlier than the dates assigned by archaeologists. She points to a number of factors that suggest this. When the pyramid was built, the earth’s pole was said to have coincided with the pole of the ecliptic “as asserted by the Egyptian Priests to Herodotus . . . thus was it found and corroborated by Mackey” (SD II:431). This brings the aging of the Pyramids to fall either on 3350 BCE or three sidereal periods ago (i.e., precessions of the equinoxes which is about 25,800 years per cycle) when the same configuration prevailed, which brings it to about 78,000 years ago (SD II:432). In another article she wrote about the estimate of John Herschel that the Pyramids were built at the time it leveled with the polar star (2170 BCE), Blavatsky states that one ought to add a sidereal period to it, which brings it to 28,868 BCE (CW XIII:322). The seer Edgar Cayce, on the other hand, puts the building of the Pyramids around 10,500 BCE.
Blavatsky wrote that the Pyramids were built prior to the deluge so widely reported among the world’s myths and scriptures. This, she says, finds corroboration in the account of Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 330-395), the Roman historian, who wrote of the Pyramids that “there are also subterranean passages and winding retreats, which, it is said, men skillful in the ancient mysteries, by means of which they divined the coming of a flood, constructed in different places lest the memory of all their sacred ceremonies should be lost” (SD II:429). These were Atlanteans, she says, not Egyptians, since any such deluge would have been earlier than the recorded histories of Egypt.
The Great Pyramid is also called Pyramid of Cheops based on the assumption that it was Cheops who had it built. Blavatsky states that “Cheops never built it. It was built ages before him and he only desecrated it by giving it another use. In his day no more initiations took place in it and he consecrated it to Tet, or Seth-Typhon” (CW IV:287).
Egyptologist are of the opinion that the Great Pyramid was constructed as the tomb of the pharaoh and the elaborate methods used to seal off the inner chambers do lend credence to this theory. This was also the view of Herodotus who wrote that the Egyptian pharaohs made numerous pyramids in the valley of Nile to serve as the royal sepulcher. Blavatsky, however, states that Herodotus did not reveal all that he knew of the purpose of the pyramids, particularly about their use as the place for initiation into the MYSTERIES:”
“It is well known to us that at whatever epoch the great Pyramid of Egypt may have been built, it must have been at a time when Draconis, the then Polar Star, was at its lower culmination and the Pleiades-Alcyone especially-were on the same meridian above. By a calculation of Sir John Herschel in A.D. 1839-who correctly assumed that the long and narrow tubular entrance passage was built so as to level at the then polar star, the building of the Pyramid of Cheops was fixed upon the year 2170 B.C.-whereas it ought to have been, with far more propriety and regard to truth, placed at 28,868 years B.C. by adding to the figures of 2170, the whole period of the preceding Equinoctial precession.* Richard A. Proctor,† an Astronomist of the same age, was the first to prove that, if we take the pyramid’s cubits, and multiply the number thereof in a base side of the Pyramid by the number fifty, and increase the result in proportion as the base Diagonal exceeds the measures of the side, the sum comes out in the number of years in the great precessional period. Therefore, there now remains no doubt, nor did it remain, long before the means of verifying events by examining their pictorial records in the galleries of Boundless Space were discovered-that the builders of the Pyramid had erected it as an Observatory of Occult Astrognosy, and-called the Polar Star Draco, or Draconis, for reasons, certainly perfectly known to themselves. And yet so retrograding proved the human intellect and so inconsistent with its own reforms that unable to follow their Shepherd forefather’s grand ideas, and yet anxious to prove that they knew as much and far more, they resorted to the following expedients. After having reviled Astrolatry, and trampled under their feet the sacred bulls Apis and Mnevis, symbolizing Life, and worshipped in the days of Menes and in whom the God Pthah, Sokar, Osiris (Life and Light) were allegorically said to be resident, they yet instituted a Pastoral religion in which instead of the sacred Bull, they worshipped a Lamb, equally the emblem of Life and Light and regarded as a grand Shepherd, and his assistant Pastors as their Spiritual Guides! They allowed all the heathen names of Stars named by their idolatrous forefathers to remain status quo, and, at the same time, perverted their meanings in the most cunning way.”
It's new to me, but when was Khufu a bricklayer or stone mason?
When he asked one to be one 🤣
Hello everybody!
Hello!
The egytians also wrote that the pyramids where there when they came to egypt..
most DNA from ancient egytian mummies has european and asian genes in them.. telling us that humans started to colonice egypt..(egypt was not first civiliastion.)...
The pyramids and other megalithic sites stood there.. when the humans came..
Note: During the early 1800-1900s ...there wasn't uncommon to fake evidence among archaeologists..
Because there was a lot of money if you could discover new informations.. meaning some would go as far has making fake hieroglyphs on things..or make false evidence...and many of those "fake" things are still believed in..
I saw on the video 2 people cariing a masive stone.
Is that the way it was done.......
From what you say regarding Khufu shutting down the temples, it sounds very like the actions of Henry VIII of England; a massive financial power grab, outmanoeuvring the economic base of the religious establishment. As to whether the gains were spent on building or restoration/augmentation is another question.
The same could be said of Akhenaten, except he seems to have been more interested in the process for religious reasons.
I believe the reason why some or many ancient egyptians dident like Khufu may be because he dident actually build the pyramids butt only renovated it and just claimed he did it.
Which can explain why very little about Khufu remains.
But because he was royalty they couldent actually do much about it.
I could be completly wrong but it just a idea I like to put forward.
Now we know who was the first Jedi.
Shepherds? So, when the pyramids were built, the lands were wet enough to grow enough vegetation to support herd animals. It wasn’t a desert like the Egyptologists want us to believe.
I haven’t checked the timeline, but I’d be interested to see if this “Philistia /Jedi” guy is Melkizedec or somehow related to him. Melkizedec was king of Salem during the time of Abram and I think also worshipped the one true God. Again, just wondering aloud.
Great video!
The presumption that a man not celebrated by history was nevertheless a great man, that a man hated by his peers was able to lead them to great works, is very hard to enjoy. If Khufu was hated, would it not have been easier to knock him on the head just after beginning the first pyramid? Why wait until all that work was done, and then get sad about the guy?
Also, just because they hated the Khufumeister, what motive does that give for destroying every .... single... technical... document? And all the words, and all the maths. They hated Khufotron so hard, they just gave up a vast body of knowledge and language.
As for the Hyksos building the pyramids, sure. Why not? I mean, we have abundant records of who they were, and what they did, and when. They said the things were ancient when they first saw them. They (the Sumerians) said the gods built them, before the flood. So, perhaps the Hyksos were also in on the ruse? They lie, so it's possible.
The pyramids remain the most incredible feat of human engineering and leadership ever witnessed on earth.
Khufoo was a nasty little man with a nasty little wife, and a few nasty little mud huts. He found ancient ruins, just like everyone else on earth, as his people slowly crawled back to a civilised state. Just like everyone else.
In my view, the bronze age of grand empires is a myth. Never happened. All the big stuff, and the fine stonework, was before the flood, or after 1300 BCE. Prior to 1300 BCE, the world was a near empty wilderness.
That is a completely apocryphal story. A fanciful tale and not to be taken seriously.
