The water erosion on the sphinx points as far back as 11,500 years ago! No one really knows so take my claims with a grain of salt, as you should with any information regarding the pyramids. We’re not able to carbon date the pyramids so any “factual” time stamped on the pyramids is very inaccurate.

      It's possible that the bedrock they built it from already had the water erosion from that era upon it, and the original brick cladding explains why the structural layer was always built rough. But who knows.
      I am glad you told me about them not being able to radio carbon date the pyramids and sphinx.

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

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

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

If so, then there must be tons and heaps of these limestone uncovering stored some place in caves, and old fortresses, but I don't recall reading anything about finding limestone Coverings to the Pyramid's being found or uncovered.

    I will always go back to this video, it feels nostalgic to me. I had a very real-feeling vivid dream a few years ago, I was in a different body, in a different place. In that dream, I saw desert sands, clear blue skies, and these white buildings, and white pyramids. A part of me was observing and knew I was dreaming, but in that dream I felt like I was home. A year after that dream, I came upon this video and saw that "home" again. I had goosebumps. I never even knew it was Egypt that I saw in my dream. Many don't believe in past lives but maybe I'm starting to believe in it because everytime I watch this, I feel nostalgia and a longing for something I can't explain.

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

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