John, I started out as a Iron Worker in 82. By 88 I made my way to the much easier and newly established Entertainment Production Rigger as shows became BIG. I've moved and built BIG things for nearly 40 yrs now. Of course the pyramids have always been a topic of lengthy and even heated discussion on our job sites!
Your lever, slow motion, stop and go creation here is fantastic! And I'd like you to know that's exactly how we always end our debates. It's practical and we use the same on BIG stuff every day.
BUT... THE ALIENS MAN! THEY'RE OUT THERE AND YOU KNOW IT!!

Sir, You need to see this channel, then you will know the truth about how the pyramids were built.

That block casting method is even more absurd than the water elevator.
What if we do invent time travel in the future and go back to find out things like the pyramids and become the engineers and builders. Time paradox.
So they had to first build a massive paint can to sand the the big rocks.
Seriously though that was a good tip for small parts.
Seriously. I wish I would have know this before sanding 12,000 tiny blocks by hand last year.
It’s called tumbling, you can buy/make them quite cheap, usually they’re used to polish stones or metal parts, tho the ones for metal usually vibrates and cost a lot more, if you have an rc car and a paint bucket that’s all you need, put the car up and down and set the bucket on the wheels :)
Yeah thats a really good trick. Im for sure gona to hang to that one
@@lilypower Just make sure everything is secure and the wheels are straight if you go that route.
Koloth mmm,
Imagine creating something so impressive that a far more technologically advanced society thousands of years later bases an alien conspiracy on it
"far more technologically advanced society"
I wonder about that sometimes
Well you must know that the people saying that are the uneducated common folk. Back then the uneducated people who did not see the construction process believed it to have been built by gods.
Just goes to show how brilliant dark skinned people are. Until this day this GREAT wonder can't be duplicated. Now that's powerful 👏
@@RugerRaph47 That's just racist
@@emperorsascharoni9577 you saying that seems rasict. Maybe you should look up the differences between ... Racism and Prejudice. Just a thought 🤔
Excellent theory. I personally never bought the ramp idea, because it would have taken another pyramid’s worth of material and it left no traces. Leaving a gap on the faces to make a kind of staircase is much more practical and clever. As you observe, this did leave a trace. They probably didn’t hide the indent because those faces were covered with casing stones later, so no need for perfection.
Indeed. The ramps would have left traces. Borrow pits, mounds. Yes eroded over time bu at that scale, something would have been left, and there does not seem to be historical record where people talk of such, even though they would have been more obvious in the past. It never convinced me either. This is actually much more clever, believable, and apparently there is some evidence of something like it from those depression mid-face.
There are still vestiges of ramps, in particular at the pyramid of Meidum, the pyramid of Sekhemkhet, that of Khéphren, the pyramid of Sinki, and especially that of Sesostris I. All are frontal ramps, perpendicular to the faces.
@@fakeuzero fascinating,
Those lines....I thought the pyramids are actually 8 sided..those lines are where 2 sides connect there.
The large 4 sides dip inward slightly and connect there..where u drew the line.....great video still..and maybe the video I saw about this was wrong about the 8 sides..but it was compelling
I've always liked this idea, but I think the cap stones where placed from the beginning as the outer layers, no reason to leave them out.
I don't care if your right or wrong, that was an awesome visual mate, you put the work in for this clip mate, great work
Please make a time machine in your next video.
Maybe you could just expand upon "This Old Tony's" time traveling. No reason to re-invent the wheel, just make it better.

Astonishing how much effort was put into building a landing platform for Goa'Uld motherships!
Whats an oprah?
People are stupid. They simply moved the sand where they needed it to move the blocks. I figured this out literally in like grade 8. Can you imagine some of these boneheads trying to figure out modern construction.
Oh and also they just floated the Stonehenge stones and diverted a stream where they needed. Bouency is a thing Like duh.

@@medomedoo4396 You are talking to a dumb person that thinks he is smart, irony won't get thru to him 🤣🤣🤣
In my mind I’ve always thought that, like any good magic trick, when we finally find the real answer everyone will go “ Oh yeah, that’s obvious!”
You're about to have that moment. Look into geopolymer, that's the answer. The rock was quarried, crushed, transported to the site and poured in place
@@smithjohn3080 how did you figure this out
@StonewallJake as a maker of composite/polymer parts it just made sense... then looked further into it with others above my level of expertise seem to agree
@@smithjohn3080 Sorry but no that's not even close. The Great Pyramid is the product of intelligence far above anything ancient people could have accomplished and the fact is we could not duplicate it even with modern technology. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't actually understand it and just how unbelievably complex it is.
@@LumieX you just watched a video on a plausible way to do it without anything mystical, advanced or alien and your still saying this
And on top of this there are multiple chambers, causeways, and entrances. Truly incredible architects.
Not saying it isn’t, but I feel like if you take 2 big stones and then place a big long stone on top (like Stonehenge) that would do it, I’m not an expert or anything, I don’t actually know anything at all about the pyramids, but it makes sense to me
@@joshrockwell8913 make a video to explain in head everything makes sense but when you try you would be like ohh lm this or that
@@joshrockwell8913 The Great Pyramid is far more complicated than stonehenge, using corbelling (grand gallery), chevron roof weight distribution (queens chamber), weight relieving chambers (king's chamber) and other unusual techniques to stop slippage in the sloping passages.
Imagine how beautiful the pyramids must have looked when they were brand new!
It must have been incredible.
They are truly one of the greatest mysterious feats of ingenuity in human history!
And im sure they were built by slaves
@@nmartin5700 your point?
the stones we see today are just the structural component(like the studs in your walls). The Outside of the pyramids were covered in thin White Marble Slabs and could be seen for miles in the desert sun. Egyptians tore off the pretty marble a thousand years ago to make like countertops and hearths and stuff for their homes after the fall of the Egyptian Empire.
@@reesmp98 Oh please, millions? The population of the planet was barley in the millions back then, Egypt did not have "millions" of slaves and they were not tortured. You need to calm down with your bleeding heart.
reesmp98 fun fact the Pyramids where likely built by volunteers rather than slaves
I've always thought history underestimates humanity before the printed record. Humans have from our dawn been good at doing the best with what we know/got
Totally. I saw the other day a guy who made stonehenge-like structure in the USA by hand... a guy... by hand.. because he liked to move big stones arround or something as a hobby.
Apparently he used small peables beneath and did something like a zig zag move with the stones to move them.
So yeah... Humans are actually pretty good at doing things since forever. Modernity is more about of make them easier.
Humans have a similar intelligence capability as to those from years ago. The difference is stored knowledge - we now teach people all this stuff and there is virtually endless information and improvement that is shared, and stored for almost anyone to access in some way.
There's also still the capability for conspiracy theories and people believing wacky things. You only have to look at 9/11 or covid or even these pyramids :)
@@RennieAsh You're damn right
I agree with you .
Who said they are stupid? We are actually the stupid.
Yup. We are the same humans we were tens of thousands of years ago, maybe a tiny bit more evolved to climates and environment.
Once the internet came out, it became much easier to learn as we basically all know everything that is already previously discovered.. But some people think that is when the human was born
The way you sanded the "stones" was so clever. We love a time saving hack.
You act as if it is a newly discovered way of polishing.
@@S1MH4CKR they didnt they probably havent seen that before and thought it was cool, no need to reply like that

@@S1MH4CKR yeah
@@S1MH4CKRNo it's called you can inform them without being a jackbag about it. Remember not everyone works with materials and tools but there's no need to act like one 😊
I like to imagine what it looked like the first couple years after it was built. Gold capstone. Painted limestone facade. Torches, statues, adornments, guards, decorations, etc. Think of the ceremonies and how the burial chamber may have been adorned. We just see ancient remnants. But at the time, this thing was the most significant structure in the entire world. The spectacle of it at that time must have been truly amazing.
The party with aliens must have been crazy
Could you imagine the beauty of the Egyptian capital city at the height of their empires power? I wish I could see it.
Underwhelming by our current standards. Most of the massive cities weren't terribly large and were poorly sanitized. Barring the large and official structures, most pre-modern construction and planning (hell, even plenty of modern construction and planning) is incredibly ramshackle.
Even Rome at its height was an architectural nightmare. It would be interesting to see, but hardly beautiful.
@@Ibarakify Depends on your definition of beauty. Some look at a ramshackle assortment of architecture and see it for nothing more. Some might look and see the beauty of a chaotic assortment of various design in a time when a building took years or even generations to complete and would have likely had many different lead builders and methodology.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@@Ibarakify to add to the idea, if you were someone born back then it would be impressive as you wouldn't have seen anything like this before but for modern people it would look somewhat unimpressive, the shots of the piramids are made deceptively for tourism sake, in truth I've been to lots of piramids and they are really small, teotihuacan which it's actually bigger than the great piramid of giza it's still very small, it's just an average skyscraper, not even a big one, and the whole city it's just a medium sized town of modern day, like many things the past its very romanticized
All these people trying talk down Egypt, smh. They were by far the longest running single culture/civilization: 3,000 years! The pyramid at Teotihuacan might have a bigger base but it's not near as tall and if you factor back in the white casing stones that were on them They would've been truly magnificent. And sorry but Egyptian religion/mythology was an enormous influence on the Abrahamic religions. I think you are right to think that it would be awesome to see it back then because, it would.
Compare Europe and western civilization to Egypt. Hell, how much longer do you think our barely-post dark age society is going to last? Cheers
@Derpki
I agree with everything you said, without the "you can measure beauty" garbage. We are who we are, we are individuals, one may find beauty in something that others may not. According to what you just referenced, that person would not be alone in their beliefs either. That notion makes the simple part of that argument wrong due to the fact that psychology is technically pseudoscience, and you are dipping into areas that cannot even be explained by science or philosophy today.
However they were built, they must’ve been absolutely beautiful once they were finished. Imagine the awe they would’ve caused in anyone who saw them. Imagine living in a time before the wheel, before the chariot, before gunpowder, before mass communication. You come up the river Nile and see them finally on the horizon - gleaming white, pearlescent and shining like the sun itself, perfect in symmetry, perfect in alignment , topped in solid gold. People’s hearts must’ve stopped.
The wheel and Chariot already existed in various cultures by that time
The piramids were built more than 12000 years ago. The younger dryas catastrophe wiped out the world and the egyptians as we know them just found them and adored them as they thought they were made by the gods. The machining marks left in some of these artefacts shows evidence of some sort of high advanced ancient civilization.
@@waketfup8864 HAHAHAHAH AHH AHA
I agree! So many tourist were visiting it during thousands of years.
This video was so interesting I had to watch it again imediately. Thank you for putting in all the work to illustrate your theory.
I like how your method reveals the inner cavities much the way they were designed. It looks pretty accurate in my opinion when I place the chambers and causeways within the central space. They never designed the pyramids with complex rooms it seems they designed them merely with the space available during construction as displayed here. Blocks are still heavy, though.
This method just may also explain why the Aztecs built a stair case on the centres of each face of their pyramids. This may have been their approach to utilizing the gaps created to lift/pivot the stones.
I like that idea, I still think it’s crazy how alot of different civilization were building pyramids that didn’t know each other
Very interesting
@@follc1991 It’s simple and stable. Even as a child being on the beach one of the first sand structures you’ll build is a pyramid.
@@DanksterPaws to be fair, its a pretty intuitive structure since it doesn't require crazy support column and bar placement along with complex physics calculations. but still pretty cool
It's more likely that the Aztec pyramids had stairs so that the structure on top could be used repeatedly without needing to use ladders or ropes to climb to the top. The aiding in construction could have been an unintended benefit the Aztecs used without second thought.
4:40 the pyramid in question here (the great pyramid at Giza, aka the pyramid of Khufu) is actually 8-sided; each cardinal side is divided into two halves that each slope slightly inwards towards the center line.
😊😊👍
I came to the comments for this
With their focus on vibrations and geometry, I think the 8 sides were an intentional part of the design that serves a purpose. Diving deeper into these subjects we can see that the number 8 is one of the most important numbers like 369 and the rest of the solfegio. Perhaps it was all as simple as vibrating at a certain frequency that levitated the stones, after all I'd assume because they weren't dumb down and programmed by a money driving and controlling world order, they probably had their full 100% brain capacity to use and what seems like hard work that require machines for our 10% and decreasing minds, they simply just crafted and created with full divine gift that only a few later on seemed to tap into, like Nikola, Jesus and others. I believe we focus too much on how and what other kids have build on the 'physical' playground as appose to what and how we can bring to life what is within us. There are 2 people here reading this, you and your human and the human is waiting for you to wake up and start playing in the divine playground and to stop doubting the fun of it, to stop finding fault when something so incomprehensible as the universe exist right in front of us and a clear indication that you don't need a ramp in order to construct something amazing. When we realise that us 'modern' human's still today have little to no knowledge despite all these technological discoveries, after extracting so much from the planet, after never truly exploring what we are within...it is no surprise that we show up with our ramps and pulley's to the construction site and then have so little faith in even our own methods that we scale it down, ignore the details and only pursue it for the sake of ad revenue.
Egyptologists: There are many theories, the ramp, the stairway...
@@thefamousmouse.developer Levitation.
Egyptologists: riiiigggght...
@Mad Circle I could not have said it better myself. I thought the topic was earthquake prevention and surprisingly sophisticated civil engineering principles with tectonic movement in mind. For a second... and then it went off the rails after that.
There’s no way they could’ve built the Great pyramid flopping stones around like this. The most precise and sophisticatedly aligned structure that’s ever been built on this planet. They probably had other means like levitating the stones with soundwaves.
I got like 1 minute in… and I’m thinking Giza has 8 sides, & your blocks are upscaled massively. As a stone mason of 8-10 years I would conclude the exterior limestone blocks wouldn’t have the structural integrity to roll and flip the way your implementing too (without damaging them, limestone can be difficult to work with, so fragile on corners/edges) Not to take away from any of the effort put in here, you’ve done amazing. Very interesting to see anything & everything people have to offer on the subject anyway so Thanks
The exterior stones are a facade of much smaller stones put on after the rest of the pyramid was constructed. The interior stones are to scale with his "stones."
Also, what do you mean by "giza has 8 sides?"
@@littlesnowflakepunk855 bro…pause at 3.15 and then pause at 4.24. Not to scale, Easy as that to see. All blocks in pyramids are limestone besides granite inside… and yes it has 8 sides. Google exists bro…. Double check for me hey
@@Jack9N The image shown at 3:15 shows the exterior sandstone blocks, which are smaller. The video is explaining how the interior granite blocks may have been put into place. The wooden blocks he's using are to scale with the larger interior granite blocks.
It doesn't have 8 sides, it has subtle indentations running down the middle of each side. This video not only points those out, but it also suggests a possible reason for them.
@@littlesnowflakepunk855 pretty sure it’s all limestone hey mate, outer facade being a white limestone. I just saw how he was rolling the blocks on themselves and can pretty much say for sure there’s no way limestone or granite would hold up the way he’s doing it here. The finish inside the kings chamber (joins & faces) is impeccable, I just can’t see it being done this way
@@littlesnowflakepunk855 It is a well-known fact now, that the pyramid has 4 convex and 4 concave corners. The flat surfaces between corners are called sides. So, yes, the Great Pyramid has 8 sides, like it or not. It is not obvious though when you have not seen a perfectly positioned aerial photo of it. There are theories about how it increases the structural stability of it.
It's probably the most realistic title on the internet when it comes to the Pyramids - "HOW I WOULD Build The Great Pyramids". Everyone "has" and "gives" the truth in their videos but no one explains actually anything. It's only click bait. You came with your theory of how you would build it, you did some work and you made a great video!

True- he did present it as his theory- there is better info out there than the slave crap our Sunday school teachers fed us.
Add this FACT to his theory and we probably have mystery solved.
czcams.com/video/k0nOw_ebmGk/video.html
What? Righto.
Here's a theory. Maybe his bum has been probed by a finger and subconsciously what ever he does involves a finger.
It all depends on the magnitude of the energy. We could build from wood in 100 years.- Even the Pharaoh did not believe that it could be built of stones. He entrusted the task to the UFOs.
Good one mate,I,ve been thinking about this for many decades.And recently came to a very similar conclusion.I see you have to.
^ This is amazing alien technology on full display! Notice how the little blocks move in quick bursts without anyone touching them. Levitation with mind magic!
Hahahahaha. OMG! Best!
Alien technology, that's laughable? No we built them and it's been proven how we did it. It wasn't built like this video states either. The stones were made not carved or carried.

"You don't really need to build another ramp when you're already building a ramp". Well, sir, you convinced me. I salute you.
This is exactly what I thought xD the pyramid itself is a ramp/stairs.
The most true statement of the video however they know how it was built if you wanna link for the video explaining how lmk. Its not just a idea but it has massive amounts of evidence to back it
You can't transport objects that heavy up anything greater than a 10° incline. Do you have any idea how long the ramp would have had to have been to be less than a 11° incline to the peak at 400+ feet? It's logic. Apply some.

A very practical theory with a complete explanation and building plan. Well done.
This is a good demonstration and I like the paint can trick. However, there is evidence of an internal spiral tunnel structure that you could maybe incorporate into your model but you'll need a lot more blocks.
Ah yes the French xray study that found the spiral incline plane running the outside perimeter that was discarded when no one spotted the incline plane until decades later some savvy individual perusing files found it
They are both correct. There is compelling evidence at 4min 31sec in this video, and like you pointed out the internal tunnel structure also exists. Evidence of both points to only one thing. Both were used.
@@paddington1670 - I mean, yes? That's often how research goes - they did an xray survey, got a weird result they didn't understand while looking for something completely different, and shelved it.

Perhaps ground-penetrating radar could reveal a different level of sand compaction in areas where ramps may have been, with maximum compaction close to the edge of the pyramid, and a drop in compaction as one moves away. Maybe this could even reveal the mass of the ramp, and slope based on such.
Sadly it would be hard to notice anything. Electric would need to be on suck low frequency that the depth of the survey would be too thin and irrelevant. Magnetic wouldn't pick anything, and LIDAR probably neither. I think it has been tried, still nice thinking!
It’s been tried that’s how they have found all of the tunnels under it. That’s believed to be dug and chiseled after the construction.
It was built on bedrock, the sand came later.
Lol… perhaps not…
I thought that pyramids was built on bedrock.
A fascinating, ingenious and logical explanation of how the great pyramids were built. That was 7.07 minutes well spent!
This is the most convincing method to build the pyramid I have ever seen. No Aliens required
Your idea is great, so don't let what I say detract from that. Egyptologists are actually almost certain they know how the Great Pyramid was built. A while back, they used ground-penetrating sonar imagining from the top down to see the internal structures (I may he using the wrong name for the specific technology they used). What they found was ingenious. They found a ramp that goes along the inside of each pyramid face, then turns 90 degrees at each corner. So they built each level fully, casing stones and all, before moving on to the next level using the internal ramp. They likely used a large pulley system at each corner opposite each ramp, and used oxen on the ground-side to pull the blocked up. The blocks would move across trees that roll beneath them or on a sled, like Egyptian hieroglyphs depict, to reduce friction. However, it's important to note that many Archaeologists believe the Great Pyramid predates the Egyptians. It very well could've been the Sumerians who built it, or Shem's people.
Regarding the depressed line we see up the center of the Pyramid that you believe may have been used to help get blocks up the face, that's actually part of the design, not the path for bringing blocks up. The Great Pyramid isn't a four-sided structure, it's an eight-sided structure. Each face is actually two faces, both sloped slightly inward to create the line at the center of each face.
Besides the Great Pyramid showing signs of being older than all of the other pyramids, the line in the center of each face is one feature that makes Egyptologists believe the other pyramids copied it...because none of them have it, if I remember correctly. The Egyptians likely couldn't put that feature into it very easily like the original builders or they saw no reason to. Hard to say.
The point is that it points to an earlier, possibly more advanced culture like the Sumerians having built it. But who knows if it was actually the Sumerians or if you'd even call them that since they were so far away from the Sumerians. I guess maybe Egyptologists are claiming that an empire with the technological advancement of the Sumerian Empire, or an offshoot of the Sumerian empire, is who built the Great Pyramid. Hard to say. The Sumerians were the ones who attempted to build the Tower of Babel, basically, in Eridu. It's the only site in the world that contains all 10 features mentioned in the Bible about the location of the Tower of Babel, and it has an unfinished tower with a massive base.
There's a documentary about the ground penetrating sonar pyramid research. Not sure what it was called, though. Sorry.
There are many other documentaries, Egyptologists, archeologists, historians, engineers, theories, and speculations. Those pyramids have been exhaustively scrutinized and scanned and analyzed by every scientific instrument imaginable.
I'm not saying your particular source is right or wrong. We don't know. That's the whole point - we still don't know exactly how the construction was accomplished. And we may never know without destructive testing.
But we have high confidence that we know (the experts have largely achieved consensus about) exactly when each of the great pyramids was built, and thus we know (the experts mostly agree on) exactly who had them built.
@@pwnmeisterage I'm not sure what you mean by your reply to my post. We're you agreeing or disagreeing? You stated that egyptologists and others agree on how the Great Pyramid was built but you didn't say how it was built (what they agree on). Could you clarify, because I don't know how to respond?
@@cephyr13 hes just saying it was egyptians not summerians
@@rogiserus Oh, I understand now. Yeah, it's very likely it was the Egyptians early in their empire, likely having migrated from Sumaria. Hard to tell since dating the Egyptian dynasties is difficult and our dates are likely off a bit.
The fact that it is impractical to cut tiny wooden blocks enough to fill in a tiny pyramid really says something about the glory of the pyramid .
To be fair, the Egyptians had tens of thousands of people to do the work.
They did the same thing: What the heck…we just put one slab in the middle. Noone will see it.
Honestly, this makes more sense to me than any other theory I've ever heard on the subject
That "4 sided step" theory seems pretty legit, especially considering that on the real pyramids it does look the each face has a groove running up the entire leangth 👏 well done to you, sir 👏 👍

Got hurt bad a few times but he can move and stand big blocks
They also underestimate the magnitude of the construction team. Even if it took 6 guys to move 1 stone to where it needed to be per day, that pyramid is still eventually getting built when you have hundreds or thousands of people and 20 years to do it
The aliens have gotten to John. This is clearly alien propaganda.
Classic
Bruh that shit still funny
Shh
He's practically shouting for us to save him from his alien overlords. Don't worry bud, you've got a new subscriber/alien-fighter.
You guys will feel supid once you discover the truth.
Those aren't just lines, there's a crease in that point of the pyramid. They're 8 sided. They also cut and placed a stone every 4 minutes
Seems you might have something there. But also, one could use each step/level as the base for a lever to lift from one level to the next (only a couple feet) and then slide them inward to fill in the middle. Once done with that level, move the lever up one and start over. You don't need a huge ramp to slide them up, only open steps to lever them each level. Levers were most definitely commonly used in those days and they would have had good working knowledge of how to use them for large stone moves.
The most sensible theory I've heard. I think the giant ramp idea is almost as ridiculous as any other. Archaeologists can find just about anything in the dirt, but they're not builders lol. I don't pay attention to the "impossible even for modern machinery" quacks
The rolling and flipping is very reasonable. I've used this technique on a much smaller scale to move railroad timbers up a hill side.
About 5 years ago, I came up with this way the pyramids could have been built: The pyramid builders could have used log rollers at the top edge of the pyramid to roll ropes over to another roller on the opposite side of the pyramid. One team of workers would pull the blocks to a point near the base, and then hook another rope onto the block that went to the top of the pyramid. There would be another team of workers on top, who would then pull the block up an area of finished smooth stones. The workers would start down the opposite smooth side, just after the block started UP. Since the block is being pulled up a steep slope, the friction would be less than if the block was on level ground. Sand under the block could also serve to reduce friction. No ramps needed, and also the weight of the workers pulling down the opposite side would make the work of raising blocks easier and faster. Several teams could pull blocks up at the same time, until the work reached near the top.
Why has nobody ever considered using gravity to help lift the stones? I mean add a counter balance to the levers and then you only need a few people to move the lever. The counter balance could be filled smaller rocks or sand which is much easier to lift. Once the counterweight equalled the weight of the stone you only need a small number of people to operate the levers.
One other question. Has anyone taken one of the big stones out to see if the interior face has been hollowed or drilled out to reduce it's weight?
FLPhotoCatcher Yes I think the great chamber had pulley marks and two rails with notches to keeps the stone from sliding back
Don’t forget they’ve found evidence of a spiral ramp on the inside of the outer layer. So pretty much the great pyramid was built from the inside.
I've been inside two of the pyramids at Giza: Khufu's and Kaphre's. To say they are massive is an understatement. I'm completely fine with the alien theories. :)
timffoster ok and what makes you think there is an alien civilization more advanced than us? What makes you say we are not the most advanced?

Sounds more feasible than many other ideas. Good job😊
The fact that the builders left no records of their techniques suggests that the message makers didn't do the building. They inherited the pyramids, having no record of construction or even purpose.
As fun as the explanation of “aliens” is, I find this far more entertaining
Aye, the addition of "magic" makes anything all the more wondrous a story. But piecing together the truth and seeing real history unfold in front of your eyes is a kind of magic no supernatural force can ever compare to.
Imagine building a massive structure for the future generations to look in awe and remember you and they are like "Meh, aliens"
I hate the "aliens" explanation my self. Here you have an absolute marvel of human engineering that likely took thousands upon thousands of hours of manpower, an incredible amount of skill and problem solving and a lot of determination to complete. I can honestly say that the pyramids are the greatest monument ever created by human hands. Saying that "aliens" made them puts all of that effort into the trash. Its like saying that someone who spent all of their life training to do something should thank god for them being so gifted. its not a gift its human skill, effort and determination and nothing can take that away.
wasnt aliens. its just lost or forgotten technology.

@@CM-NightDK imagine building a massive structure for the future generations to realize they arent as smart as they think they are. i think thats more like it.

@@frostrock7484 yeah i remember watching that guy 20 years ago. Thats nothing like the method described in this video though and it clearly wouldnt work for stacking stone on stone on the side of a pyramid.
HULK SAY BLOCKS MAKE ME MAD
This also doesn't explain how they were so precise in placing the stones, and forming the inner structure such as the grand gallery. People discredit the water theory so much, but in my opinion it is the most promising. The great pyramid itself is a Hydraulic Pulse Generator and water pump, which is evidence enough that it was built using water. This is partly just my belief, but also from reading the research of those much smarter I. I know there are many keyboard scientists that disagree, but they also lack evidence of a better theory.
One of the biggest heists in Egyptian times was in fact done by lifting a massive slab of many tons using a single wood pole (and a battering ram). You put the pole at the corner of the slab, then smack it inching it deeper towards the corner and thus lifting the slab above enough to begin inserting rollers so you can slide it over.
Obviously, the wood is missing today, but the marks of the thieves are still there.
Best explanation I’ve seen, but how did they polish that red granite in the chambers. That would require a lot of pressure. I really enjoyed the video
They've recently discovered there are cross sectional stones inside the structure in excess of 70 tons.
This looks like a good solution. I was thinking they used a lever on top of an a-frame type arrangement. The a-frame would be moved up 1 level at a time until the block was in place. Time consuming, but it did take decades to build the pyramids.
Same used to build Coral castle in FL... combine that with a lever system within the great hall and a cantilever system using sand on the exterior and it's done
levers are, and always have been, overpowered. Pls nerf
And a lever could be made nearly any length and I'm guessing that the blocks are mostly 2 tons because that was the optimal weight/size to cut, move, and lift into place. I think levers were used to lift the blocks as a lever can lift huge weights with relatively little effort.
The other mystery that comes before how they loved the stones is how they cut them..
@@SnoW-pk9zo we know how they cut them

70lb or 70 ton, it doesnt matter, the physics of lifting them are the same.
@@mattsz7313 the physics are the same but the energy needed is greatly increased. The physics of my lawnmower engine are the same as my motorcycle but my lawnmower can't get me moving 100 MPH.
You can lift a 70 ton block without using 70 tons of force. That's how physics works.

@@chrisstrebor no one needs to do something. Making a replica of the pyramids is useless because we already have the original one. We know the tools they had available at the time. We have glyphs of Egyptians moving heavy stuff with wooden sleds and water.

What we don’t know is methods they used, it’s not that big of a deal
This is an awesome idea. One small point about slope though is you can’t just add the same amount each time as each course has a different thickness. That’s a small thing though since it’s easily fixed in plenty of ways, everything else is well thought out and consistent.
Actual title: how to build a pyramid while disregarding all of the complex inner construction.
He also didn't use very many blocks and the great pyramid had 2.3 million.
The ancients will be insulted by this oversimplified method

Why does nobody ,cut and move and stack ,just a few stones ,at actual size .at the same rate ,the egyptians did. 2 mil plus stones in 20 jears.not counting the inner structure...
LoL exactly that was going to be my comment 👍
When we develop time travel, first order of business will be to send Jonh to Egypt to show them how it's done.
Perhaps thats what we did.

Present John's worked it out and done the video.
My question is " Does FUTURE John become PAST John when he travels back in time to show the Egyptians?"

What about the granite blocks over the kings chamber and the grand gallery?
Easy af
The more you read about the granite blocks, the more confusing it gets
Hardly the grand gallery is a counter weight, it works as a freight elevator.
You guys need to look up the internal ramp video for the pyramids because there is so much evidence backing that, and no more evidence will come out because if it did tourism would crash in the country.
They make money off ur ignorance so they hide the way it was made

Glad to see a theory that doesn't involve extraterrestrials
Thank you for diving straight into the video without 5 minutes of useless preamble!
I think you are right. How to build a pyramid.
Really small.
So much easier
Richard Schofield... when you use plywood blocks, that would make it ( easier) am guessing, maybe the Egyptians could have learned something from him... use plywood blocks... if only they knew. Hehehe
They started out much smaller and built with rammed earth- that was hundreds of years before they started building on Giza Plateau.
Genius!
🤣🤣 hahahahaha. *You made my day*
Imagine trying to build a pyramid with heavy stones not woods.
That explains the outer walls and foundation. But how do you explain the kings chamber with the huge 100 ton granite boxes, That had to be installed first since they were bigger than all the hallways and doors leading into the pyramid
Your idea of sligthly into the back placed steps is great for lifting large blocks without ramps at the edges, which would negatively affect smothness of the sides. So far so good. But how you lift all that megalith stones, beams, chevrons and the sarcophacus of the kings chamber?
The average weight of the stone blocks were around 2.5 ton. The larger (70 ton) blocks were only used in the chambers. The polished limestone blocks were precise and, in the case of the Great Pyramid, also a major point of failure. They didn't allow for expansion/contraction which led to them cracking and falling off. Even where the large blocks were used to form the saddle chambers, the stresses from above have caused fractures in the lower, outward facing edges. Still, not bad for a structure that old.
Elsewhere, the blocks are not precise at all. Lots of mortar and loose fill had been used to fill gaps. It worked well enough where aesthetics were not an issue. The finished product must have been blinding to look at with all that white, polished marble. There is the impression that the entire 2 million-stone structure was made entirely of precisely cut stone. This is absolutely not the case.
No one in the world:
John Heisz: I would build piramids in a different way
You should get a couple of 2 1/2 ton blocks and some ropes and poles and see if you can lift one on top of the other the way you showed it.
Egyptologists and these self-proclaimed, mainstream CZcams omniscient, never come up with such trifles.
Oh yee of little faith. Just get two enormous fingers to pull them up, like in the video. They did have gods, you know? Maybe they used the hand of their god? And helium balloons. You gotta use helium balloons to lift stones like that. I mean, why wouldn't you? They use it at parties, so you just know it's loaded with fun.
@@mierbeuker8148 I meant for real. He could use as many people as he wanted as well.
Are you assuming their gods have little hands too? REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Woh woh, you've not even explained how they were cut so precisely yet, let alone how they were moved. You couldn't fit a human hair through any of the gaps, and this was supposed to be a bronze age civilisation standard academia teaches.
just a thout, how did u get the 40+ tons stones to the pyramid? sins they wher carved out of a qurrye pritty far form ther the prymids wher build and there wher no ships that could transport them so how did u do this?
There's a reason why we do models all the time, it's much easier then the real thing.
I would very much like to see a 50 ton block being rolled on a couple of wooden levers tied with linen rope.
Not to mention, that this treatment should have left marks on the stones. Especially on the edges, where they were rolled over. This would have done serious damage to stones that heavy.
geopolimeter insitute has proven by looking with microscope, analizing stuff, probably all buldings are constructed with ancient cement, chemical reaction from plants and roots, more info there
Imagine the dude commanding a flip of a 30 ton block 120m high towards the top were the base is quite narrow.... that'd stain some white robes, XD

Like anything in life, even the hardest tasks become easier over time with experience and improving techniques. I am sure the first pyramid ever made was extremely difficult, but after the first couple they most likely had it down to a science.
The smartest explanation for a seemingly complex thing is sometimes simple.
just imagination
They made liquid stone, this was proven since 1984
@Dragons & Pigs Davidovits's hypothesis gained support from Michel Barsoum, a materials science researcher. Michel Barsoum and his colleagues at Drexel University published their findings supporting Davidovits's hypothesis in the Journal of the American Ceramic Society in 2006. Using scanning electron microscopy, they discovered in samples of the limestone pyramid blocks mineral compounds contained air bubbles that do not occur in natural limestone. This ends the debate on the science front.
It’s so hard to try and come to a conclusion on how these pyramids were built. Out of all the ideas that are out there, I feel this is the best idea yet. But I still find it hard to believe it wasn something more advanced
I think you cracked it. They found a void higher up that might just align with your idea of the tunnel towards the top. Great work!
Thank you for calling the water elevator idea stupid. The pressure at the bottom of the pipe would be as much as at the bottom of the Hoover Dam, and that has to be hundreds of feet thick.
Water pressure doesn't care how thick a column of water is, a 100 meter tall straw will have the same pressure at the bottom as a 100 meter deep lake.
The faces of the pyramids DO have a dihedral angle of almost a couple of degrees. Once a year (or perhaps twice) the Sun is at a position so that half the side is in shadow and the other is illuminated ( I would love to see that with the original alabaster cladding!)
Not to mention the gold (or bronze) cap shining, visible for hundreds of miles.

@@banjobill8420 Gold leaf, and yes, stunning to behold indeed.

Thanks a lot, your theory is reasonable. However, We are truly amazed over this wonderful art of architecture. Those people in that time with no equipment as we have in our time were able to creat such unique master pieces. With al respect for the ancient people may God rest the souls of all those who worked hard to build these pyramids and gave us the joy to see this impressive art. Thanks a lot for shearing your theory. ❤
I had a very similar conclusion to yours for a few years now: from simply noticing the grooves in the middle of each side. I also think they may have used cranes, mechanics back then were extremely sophisticated, contrary to popular belief. Great job with the model!! Thanks for vid!
Look up the meaning for sophisticated. I just learned this yesterday and it means complex and deceitful. We have been using that word incorrectly. It comes from sophistry, which was a sort of word craft I was surprised by this myself and mean no anger towards you. Just sharing info l find fascinating.
I can't think of any other way to describe a scaffolding and crane setup though, so in the modern sense , yeah they were sophisticated.

Yeah those lines are from the actual shape of the pyramid changing. It’s not a perfectly square pyramid like you think. It actually has 8 sides with each of the 4 faces having a slight concave type indentation. So basically this guy misrepresented facts and since he was “debunking” no one bothered to “debunk” him, while I’m certain if anyone created a video with the same failure of understanding, the comments would be littered with a explanation like mine.
Indiana Heisz and the Temple of Trolls incoming... ;-)
I finally found another "Draper" on CZcams... Nice to meet you... 😊
Trolls love pyramid schemes.
Well done. There is a lot to learn from this ancient process.
It's a simple system, so more than likely useful to the Ancients. The tunnels within the Great Pyramid have often been speculated to be used as counter weight slides for lifting great stones. Perhaps they were able to use the counter weights to provide the force needed to tip over and lever the stones rather than brute hands on force?
Great example of why actually building something is a fantastic way to think about it, rather than the armchair variety of thought. Great video John.
How do you think think they moved the facing stones using the proposed method. Wouldn't it be more difficult to flip them over?
Here is my theory. Start with the base like his. Construct a large pully in the centre. The rope goes from one side to the other through the pulley. Use this guys technique to get the blocks up to form the first level. Then fill it with sand to raise the base. Repeat.
All good enough until you do the same but adding the interior rooms/Chambers also. Good luck with that 1!
and the insane precision! this dude makes it sound oh so easy with his little miniture wooden blocks...the pyramids were built with 2+ ton stone blocks... not to mention the cutting of these blocks and transportation! and like you state, the tunnels and chambers! he makes it sound like it was a walk in the park for them 2000+ years ago!!

@@andresvillanueva5421 yess
This was really cool!! Your extremely talented
How and when did they do the tunnels and chambers?
They set them with a table saw.
The website article is very interesting. Very good reading, thanks for taking the time John!
How about this idea:
They had ropes to pull the stones, so they could have made very long ones.
They had sand, gravel, debris in abundance and lots of manpower.
Make a steep ramp (matching the slope of the pyramid) and lead very long ropes over the center of what´s already build, connecting two sleighs.
The one being on ground level gets loaded with a stone, the opposite one on the top gets filled with anything that can easily be carried by single workers, just very many of them.
Once the "sand sleigh" gets sufficiently heavier than the "stone sleigh", it´s weight will pull the other up to the then current level.
Unload both sleighs, the one being down then receives the next stone, the one on the top gets the sand, carried up by... and so on, and so forth.
The workers would have had to lift the weight of the pyramid plus some percentage more for friction losses, still they only had to lift easily manageable stuff, not heavy stones.
Nice, thank you counterweight pulley system, in theory would work, it's supposed this is what the grand gallery was used for, an inferrior sled based pully system with wooden posts in the empty slots to act as a breaking system in case the ropes or pulleys failed.
Counterwieght pulley is evident inside the shafts at certain points shows rounded off areas very smooth rounded over stone to allow strong rope to slide. Also the inside would have to be built at the same time as the outer pyramid stones are laid to keep everything level and strenghtened
Its fascninating to me that thousands of years later so much effort and research goes into how some dead guys built some big triangles
I ve actually thought and do agree with the inner core step pyramid structure mine lesser in size than yours before the outer masonry and cassings were completed. An inner core step pyramid structure makes a whole lot of sense.
This is interesting! And definitely possible. Although, in my experience stones like to break when I topple them over, imagine doing it what, a hundred time to get it to the top? So many broken stones. Anyways, what baffles me is the proposed timeframes these were allegedly built in. In one documentary they said there was a stone being laid every like three minutes for 28 years or something like that. Doing four stones at a time, like in your method makes it like twelve minutes per stone which, while it is more time, still sounds nuts. They've been fixing the road in front of my house for 15 years and still aren't near done with it
Some researchers suggest there may be more chambers waiting to be discovered. If so then the total number of blocks could drop significantly making the construction possible in the time Egyptologists claim.
@@Jon6429 then again, simple math formula reveals that to turn a stone over a fulcrum at the center would require at least half it's weight in force. So let's be generous and say the stone is 2tons, how exactly are you going to apply 1ton (probably more) of force in a horizontal direction in order for the stone to turn?.. maybe a winch and large lever but I don't know. Realistically these stones are tens of tons and there ain't much space to play with.. like, what is this winch made of? The rope? Who's turning the lever? And once you figure all that.. who's gonna move the damn thing for every stone to be lifted?
The bulk of the pyramid is believed to be filled with smaller or irregular blocks, but they could have used the centre of the four sides to lever these up.
Your sense is similar to mine - stones break. And there is no pile of broken stones anywhere about.
wouldn't it be 4 stones per three minutes?
I like the cement block forming idea on site using the material they cleared from the plateau. It works for both the inner blocks as well as the limestone outer covering and explains how they managed to make the narrow tunnels so accurately. They were formed around wood which was then taken away when set.
No moron
Here's my only thought about using itself as the stairs... with millions of toppling and climbing blocks... there ought be a substantial degree of damage to those staired blocks... unless they shielded them or replaced them at some point.
this is so cool i have never thought about that before
This is great fun to watch! I would personally just get a few timber panels for moulds and just pour them stone by stone out of limestone geopolymer.
hahaha
I know everyone is hard about the geopolymer thing but im not that sure about it being used in the pyramids cause there is a quary near the building cite
Excellent idea for a really fun video, paint can shaker build video coming up soon!
The two lines in the middle can’t be unseen anymore. Very nice theory. Thanks for sharing
Please include an idea on the 70 tonne blocks within, next time!
What a fantastic and enjoyable video! I also think your central staircase tract theory is spot on, as it doing this construction creates the natural pathway routes into the pyramid. We see these (rather odd looking!) tall cavernous intersections dissecting the interiors of certain pyramids, that seemingly start from no logical position. Your theory would easily allow an entrance point to tunnel into the interior at any stage of the build. Makes sense to me!
Addressing a deleted comment about the lines being vertices of an 8-sided great pyramid. John points out the lines and says "in MY PYRAMID, this would be where I left out blocks out so that I could move other blocks up." The video is even titled "How I would build the great pyramids." It isn't known why the great pyramid seems to have 8 sides, but 4 sides or 8 sides, that doesn't change the basic construction challenges, which John tries to answer.
don't forget the 9th bottom side hyuck hyuck
Concavity of the faces is clear visible the line goes straight upwards to the middle to the apex. Next problem against primitive building behavior. Is the different length of three sites from four on site, accompanied with three different foundation heights from negative to positive ground face relative to ground plate height. So we have inevitably distorted pages. That lines are causal to block assembling in a slight gradient direction starting from the corners.
