  • Not everybody is aware that in the immediate vicinity of the Great Pyramid is a temple dedicated to the Ancient Egyptian goddess Isis, first excavated by Auguste Mariette in 1858, and then again by George Reisner and also Selim Hassan in the early 20th century.
    The temple sits next to the Great Pyramid’s satellite pyramid of Henutsen, the second or third wife of Khufu. The temple was originally a funerary chapel associated with this pyramid and its status as a Temple dedicated to Isis, wasn’t established until the 18th dynasty, or possibly as early as the Middle Kingdom.
    So although there is no evidence of an Old Kingdom Isis Temple at Giza, we do know that in later times, Isis was worshipped here and that she was known as the Mistress or Lady of the Pyramid, and was revered in such a way right up to the Roman period. The full name of the temple is ‘Temple of Isis Mistress of the Pyramid” and there is evidence that the local cult of Isis also had its own priesthood.
    The temple is famous because of a specific archaeological find made inside it - the Inventory Stela dated to the 26th dynasty, which as well as claims about the origins of the Sphinx, as mentioned in my previous video, it also claims that the Isis temple was found, apparently in ruins, by King Khufu of the Old Kingdom’s 4th dynasty and was subsequently re-built by him.
    Watch this video to learn more about the Temple of Isis, whether it could be an Old Kingdom structure, also also how it ties in with the 18th dynasty depiction of Rostau, the Ancient Egyptian underworld that was ruled by Sokar. Does this explain why Isis is the Mistress of the Pyramid? Watch the video to find out.

    The thing about understanding the past is that we can never put ourselves in the minds of the ancients. Their society was built on beliefs and ideas that we think we understand but really we don't. Only by interpreting evidence can we hope to gain insight to some degree. Your ability to take evidence - particularly pictorial - and understand it in a different way to others - continues to make the subject fresh and exciting. Great stuff.

    The Ancient Architects videos are far superior to most of the rest because of the honesty of Matt in clearly differentiating between fact, theory and supposition. In addition, real research is used and supplemented with photos, charts and historical references. Real scientific research, of course, requires accurate measurements, dating and translation, as well as sufficient authentic documentation, critical thinking and appropriate analysis relying on facts rather that wishes and fairy tales. Congratulations Matt for another wonderful video.

    The presence of two Sphinx structures makes more aesthetic sense than just a solitary one. It should either be on the other side of the causeway so there are two guarding the one end, or it should be on the far end of the causeway so two are guarding the entire path. A single sphinx just doesn't look right.

    great video Din, thanks. .but there is no archeological evidence for a 'second big sphinx' near Khafre's mortuary temple. Also there was no Isis worship as early in Khufus/Khafres time..the Isis temple clearly is built in much later dynasties ( as you pointed out). Also the shaft of Osiris is from a much later 26th dynasty.

  • @douginorlando6260
    @douginorlando6260 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Regarding the crumbling great Pyramids, I suspect there is a misunderstanding. Instead of scavengers stripping off the casing stones, there is evidence the casing stones collapsed off the lower faces of the pyramid because their weight cracked key interlocking blocks that anchored the casing stones to inner blocks. Here’s is the evidence … Look close at the history for granite channel drone captured imagery of the pyramid. On the upper part of the great pyramid where the casing stones are still attached look at the cracks in blocks. Some cracks that have split blocks are from the settling of the casing stones on the pyramid face. The cracks are separating the facing stone blocks from other blocks holding it in place. This causes more weight and stress on the lower casing stones which then increases the stress on blocks that transfer weight straight down inside the pyramid instead of along the face of the pyramid. Once the upper casing stones break in half too many of these critical blocks that transfer load to the internal blocks, then the whole face breaks loose from the inner blocks and creates an avalanche of casing stones. The scavengers then removed the jumbled casing stones that piled up at ground level.

Or maybe just for one of the 4 cardinal points on a map of Giza? Starting at due East in front of the Sphinx? So if that's the 5th, the 1st would be Leo?

    Hey, did you forget that you were gonna make a video about how the chamber above the entrance fits with your extended pyramid theory. I personally think that the blockage you see at the back of that passage is the original exterior of the pyramid, and that beyond it, there will be another weight relieving chamber. It would explain why there is a step at the back of that corridor. I haven't checked how the distance works out in relation to the anomalies in the shafts that mark the original pyramid exterior

    Hey Matt, I have a question, not really related to Isis temple but more-so related to Sokar/Rostau. Would it possible for you to get a permit to probe that basalt block from the Valley Temple? Between the obvious pry-related scarring on the stone directly above it, the fact it is a different material, the fact it is a non-weight bearing stone, and the fact that it sticks out of the wall about a millimeter, I think it would be a good candidate for a plug stone. The recent discovery at the Great pyramid entrance makes me think an endoscopic camera might be suitable for looking behind this stone as well. I remember you mentioning the block in the Valley Temple in the past(as a possible entrance-way into Rostau), and am wondering if this idea could be explored further.
    Sorry if my question is dumb. I don't really know how sanctioned investigation works in Egypt, so I'm not sure what it would take to get approval to use an endoscopic camera in the Valley Temple. Thanks for the video and I hope you have a great day.

  • @garyhenderson9303

    Matt you gave the theory that maybe a second sphinx was at the end of the causeway. I would say the visuals showed it to be the other side of the pyramid. Have always wondered that with all the data showing how exact the pyramids got built in their alignment, why is the sphinx not aligned to the pyramids or the other way round.

    You’ve blown my mind again. Your handle and ability to use the rich source material, not just stuff from the last centuries, but even possible source issues, with for instance the inventory style, to challenge what that was, is really intriguing.
    I want to hear more about your theory. Maybe the Isis connection is just rebuilt on 18th, 21st, and 26th dynasties randomly embellishing an ancient important site, or that site really predates 4th dynasty, which could very much be dedicated to Isis as translated through many versions in Egypt over millennia. I mean millennia, there’s got to be some relation in how the real, and maybe hidden history, interacts with the documentation over so much time.

  • @Batters56

    13:32 It could be a representation of the grotto in the great pyramid. I think that’s it’s highly likely that the original primordial mound is the hill under the Great Pyramid. Being the high ground that never got flooded during the inundation of the Nile. The top of the primordial mound is where Ra/Atum was said to have emerged. All life and other Gods stem from this point. So it’s a very holy site and was being worshipped, probably with a temple, before the Great pyramid was built. Then Khufu co-opts the hill and builds his pyramid on top which is absorbed into the myth. However the top of the primordial mound is still a really holy site (and various sects worshipped anything and everything!) so somehow the well shaft came about which allowed access to the top of the primordial mound, one of the holiest places in Egypt, the place where Atum came up from the underworld and after a few thousand years of human progress, where Osiris stands guard over the underworld…

    There is one story where isis frees Set from his prison, and consequently gets beheaded for that.
    Her head being replaced by that of a cow.
    In other stories she is given a diadem....if memory serves.
    Regardess, the other name for the pyramid was Ta Khut (the light).
    The shadow/umbra was trapped within the light, hence the light of ra overpowered set and similar themes.
    In other views Set and Osiris was considered fighting over the moon as aspects of shadow and light.
    Here the full moon of Osiris will be standing over Syene at midnight on the midwinter solstice, just as Ra stand over Syene at noon on the mid summer solstice
    Hence the full moon being the great cackler and/or the gooses egg.
    The egg is what manifest from the mound of creation (allegedly the Great pyramid stands upon it) as the Bennu bird and precursor phoenix.
    This is from the scenes of the Tuat, especially like that of the chapter of the 4 torches.
    Scene 1. The Sun dies in the west and the mummified form of the sun ascends into the night sky or tuat.
    Scene 2. The mummified sun travels across the night sky, resting upon the milyway as an extension of the Nile at midnight where the sun flushes with blood when reborn by the eclipse.
    Scene 3. The mummified sun sets in the underworld/night sky and rises in the daytime sky reborn.
    The length day to light raito on the solstice is 10:14 hours or 14:10 horus.
    So the 5th hour would be half way across the 10 hour night sky of midsummer or the 10 hours daylight of midwinter (this is an implict link to that 10:14 hour ratio + Meridian/Zenith).
    However, other renderings position 4 parts of the day with gods and the reincarnation of the great grandfather as 4 generations.
    Horus 'the child' dawn/spring = Isis (stands opposite meridian with Nephthys)
    Ra noon/summer = Tefnut (daytime sky goddess as cow)
    Horus the elder (Anubis by Osiris/Nethphys ?) dusk/autumn = Nephthys (stands opposite meridian with isis)
    Sokar midnight/winter = Nut (night time sky goddess as cow)
    Osiris stands at the meridian/Nile/Milkyway where he is pulled form the waters by Isis/Nethphys
    So basically they are using gods and goddesses to represent apsects of natural phenomena as a system of mnemonics through myth/story, but those roles get hijacked.

I think we are here on a track, which will ultimately lead to the answer whether Kofu build the Sphinx, or as described was found and inherited by him. The wheathering in the pit of the Sphinx are caused by water. Egypt was a "wetland" ca. 11000 years ago...so isn´t this at least a hint, das the story written on the stela could in fact be true?

    Could there have been a Temple of Isis there originally that had already fallen into ruin long before the Great Pyramid and that Mastaba was built? Then the 4th dynasty kings probably Khufu during the time of building the Great Pyramid rebuilt the Temple on it's original footprint and that's why it cuts into the Mastaba.

    5th Hour of Duat with Lake of Fire beneath mountain seems to indicate a magma chamber within a volcano. Could it be that Pyramids are stylized representations of volcanos? After all Egyptians are famous for their incredible stylization skills…

    About the second sphinx theory? It could work.
    Start looking for a foundation to the second sphinx or is it buried like the boat hulls was?
    It could be buried in the middle pyramid like the end of the causeway block hauler pit was?
    God knows how many stone blocks were removed during 4500 years of decay.
    Sorry about missing the actual names for these locations in this spur of the moment.

      @@AncientArchitects It means nothing that it was written so long after Khufu.The problem that some people have with it is that it states that he stumbled across the temple (and the pyramids which he was accredited with building). One should bear in mind that historical records are transferred over time - a new printed edition of the Bible is not invalid for those who follow it, even if the first edition of the Bible was printed long before that - I believe, some centuries after he was around..

    I kinda doubt that there ever was a second sphinx. Clearly the Ancient Egyptians were impressed by the Sphinx so it seems unlikely they would have destroyed a second one and since the Sphinx had become a symbol of Egypt I don't see the Hellenistic rulers removing it either. As for the Romans, Giza was a popular Tourist attraction and cutting doen a symbol of Egypt would have been unwise and certainly would have been mentioned.
    And we do have Greek texts from classical times mentioning one Sphinx so if one would have been removed it should have been before the time of Herodotus and so much earlier it had been forgotten.
    I just don't see any Ancient Egyptians destroying a sphinx to build something new on the place when it would be more status to build next to it and I don't see any natural disaster destroying a sphinx so much it couldn't be fixed by the best engineers of the ancient world.
    As for the text about the Sphinx being fixed by Khufu, that is a possibility but with it being written down so long after the event we really need an older source to actually confirm it. The lightning bolt could basically happened to a later Pharaoh and wrongly been connected to Khufu in the centuries later, things like that are rather common. There are plenty of ruins in England and Wales who are said to been built by King Arthur for instance even if it is pretty unlikely Arthur even existed and even if he did, those ruins are from anywhere between the Bronze age to Saxon times.
    So I don't think we should write it off as a possibility but neither should we take it as facts.
    As for a third dynasty temple in Giza, that do fit with some finds from the Kroger pits so it is certainly not an impossibility but I don't think it was placed in the same place in that case and it might very well been connected to another goddess. Or it could just have been a made up tale to get more worshipers, also not something unheard of.

    Pyre - amid means "fire in the center" mt. Ararat was a volcano. The flag of armenia has a cube on top of a mountain. The azteks had a cube temple on top of a pyre - amid. The priest would offer the heart of the victim to the sun. Noah performed an animal sacrifice when the ark (black box) landed on ararat. Noah means "night"since the sun was blocked during the year long flood due to global vulcanism.The feast of sacrificial animal flesh was neccesary since the ark occupants had been in a state of hibernation during the deluge. The image of the emaciated sage in the lotus flower is a reference to noah, who was in a trance while waiting out the deluge. The construction of the ark consisted of woven cypress tree b - ark in a tar matrix which likely was stiffened with sulfur (vulcanism).

    So, even though a PHARAOH says he FOUND IT IN RUINS and then REPAIRED IT, "modern Egyptologists" are literally calling him, Kufu, a LIAR! Why? Because it would mean HE didn't BUILD the Great Pyramid but REPAIRED IT, TOO! We KNOW that the CULT OF EGYPTOLOGY can NEVER admit they are WRONG about anything! Even Zahi Hawas has realized that the REAL history AND builders of much of ancient Egypt are MUCH older and unknown! This is mainly due to Egyptologists refusal to use ACTUAL SCIENCE in their research in lieu of FABRICATING a FANTASY they've spent CENTURIES CREATING!

      Well, there’s more evidence for Khufu than anyone else. There’s also text evidence (Manetho/Herodotus/Amenhotep II/Saite Kings) that write it. People believe in Atlantis based on one Philosopher (not a historian) writing it down, some 12,000 or so years later. That’s it. Yet nobody believes Khufu built the pyramid even though Egyptian priest, New Kingdom Pharaohs and a Greek Historian wrote it… what is that??

    @AncientArchitects/Matt, I don't know why you keep going with the so-called facts that Khufu was ever looked upon as great man who was the trendsetter in building the tallest/biggest structure in the ancient world. when the man himself has never proclaimed that he was the genius the brain-child to have built it, I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, even his chief architect Hemimenu has never left any record or anything to say "this great Pharaoh called Khufu, built a structure like no man/woman has ever seen...together we went about it like this..."....Khufu's body has never been found there, much less a Queen, think about all that is being covered up.....not being allowed to investigate the submerged Labyrinth due to "security reasons"....not being allowed to take ariel footage/photo of above the Sphinx...why? Also the military moving in and setting up a base at one of the ancient egyptian complexes which is restricting access ....why? these are the bigger questions...do the math and it doesn't add up, considering how much each block weighed and how long it would take to get them into perfect position within the years these mainstream archaeologists claim for the greatest structure known to mankind to have been built...
