Real Engineering What software do you use for such great animations and thumbnails???
Pls let me know.....
Its a request...
Adobe Creative Suite. Get it, signup for Skillshare at: skl.sh/realengineering3 and learn how to use it!
Real Engineering is that you in 0:37
Yeap
What's so inaccurate about Assassin's Creed is that they portray ancient egyptians as black africans... wtf
But how many Toyota corrolas would fit in that pyramid?
Oh wait wrong channel
I was very close to comparing the weight of the granite beams to 40 Toyota Corrolas...
Thank god, now I know.
We need our weekly doses of cool videos that sneek in these Toyota Corrola facts.
Is that before or after it has rusted apart?
Build it Bigger (re the Toyota reference, as Toyota sponsored Danny's show)? That used to be my favorite show but looks like it's off the air now.
Shplingo get rekt, scrub.
I was offered a job building Egyptian tombs
Turned out to be a pyramid scheme
Ahahahaha!
Classic yes good one.
G.R.O.A.N. ....I love it!
Lmfao!
Most corny jokes don't bring a smile to my face but this one did.
Now this is how you do a sponsorship. You gave a really cool part of the game's world without advertising the game being the focus of the video. And, you made me want to play Assassins' Creed Origins so double success.
JOSEPH WODARCZYK yeah I want to try the game now for real
Every time I see the thumbnail, I'm thinking of a huge USB cable being plugged into the pyramid.
"The pyramids were built from the bottom to top"
I never would have thought about that possibility XD
You always got to consider that Ha'taks are real.
Riiko
Naaaah. They were built from top to bottom. Anti-gravity field are cool 'n stuff.
Because older mortar is found on top, some people assume it had been built top down (however that would work). It has clearly been renovated in antiquity, was it already there?
Nope, it was built from left to right.
Just a heads-up... The Great Pyramid (Khufu) doesn't have any of its polished limestone outer casing blocks, and the pyramid you actually talked about and showed (1:36) was Khafre's Pyramid, a smaller, newer pyramid at the complex. A lot of people mistake that pyramid for The Great Pyramid. Not to be harsh on you, and with all due respect of course... but if you can correct that in the video with an annotation or edit, you really should, because it's this exact mistake people (photographers, vloggers, etc) keep making that propagates and perpetuates this incorrect information and identification of The Great Pyramid. It really is an important detail to be able to correctly identify what is, and is not, one of mankind's greatest engineering feats of all-time, and the only remaining wonder of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.
Interesting. Is there any reason to believe Khufu also had an outer casing?
Alistair Muir Yeah, off the top of my head, I believe there are some lying around at the base, and I also think the majority of them were used to (re)build parts of Cairo, after a fire or earthquake, or something like that. Don't quote me on that though, double google-check me to be sure. Eitherway, it is known that it was encased with highly polished limestone blocks.
When I holidayed in Cairo they told us that the stone used for the outer casing on the great pyramids was plundered to build the citadel and the surrounding wall
Awesome! Thanks Wayne :)
johnnytweed as an Egyptian i thank u for clarifying such a rookie mistake i disliked the video as soon as he said this didn't even watch the rest of the video i was a bit disappointed tbh
There is no mention in all ancient Egyptian writings about how did they built the pyramids although they wrote about everything they did in their lives
That makes you wonder if they really did build it or some advanced nation came before them and their knowledge has lost

@@Lamster66 Read the book ” The secrets of building the Great Pyramid of Egypt ” , on the website www.thegreatpyramidofegypt.com On a 26.5° inclined "main inner mobile ramp" located in the "central channel" of the Great Gallery, about 150 workers with the help of a system of traction levers of order 2 with a height of 5 m in which the active force arm "F1 of workers" is b1 = 5 m . The arm of the resistant force "F2 = Gt ( tangential component of the weight of the stone block) + Ff (friction force given by the weight of the stone block on the sled") is b2 = 1 m, can pull closer and closer on the "main inner mobile ramp" inclined at 26.5° [~ 1,24 m.

(40 m. length of ascending passage + 47 m. length the "central channel" of the Great Gallery)] a stone block of 60 tons in an "elementary" simple and easy way up to a height of 43 m. for the construction of the King's Chamber.

What your comment shows is extreme ignorance of the facts.
@@Chris.Davies You did a fantastic job showing why that's the case.
Nice presentation and the fact you included basic physics for an inclined slope was nicely done. The coefficient of kinetic friction should also could have been included. However I have to agree that Jon Pierre's explanation totally makes beautiful sense solving one major mystery.
Nice sponsor, glad for you.
It was fun to work with them. Great footage and music that I could work with for free, and I got to have dinner next to the Rosetta stone. Preeeeeeeeetty cool.
Quite surprising actually, considering that you are in no way a gaming channel. This video would have been a great standalone, but with the added sponsorship, it is freaking awesome. Congratulations!
Yeah, Sam (wendover productions) and I, were the only none gaming people at the event. Cool to be included.
YOU SELLOUT!!!
...No, just kidding, this is awesome!
I remember when AC Unity came out, they invited +scholagladiatoria to one of their events to talk about sabre combat, which was tangentially related to Unity's time-period. Ubisoft has a way of thinking outside the box when it comes to marketing, I suppose...
Glad to see you mention Jean-Pierre's theory. it is by far the most plausible one I've yet seen. I was getting ready to look it up to suggest it to you when you beat me to it. Perhaps next time I should listen to your whole presentation before trying to add anything to it. ;)
It's an easy habit to develop because none of the pyramids videos I've seen on CZcams have mentioned the internal ramp theory so I commented each time about it like a crazy obsessed person. So I, too, was really glad I didn't have to on this video =)
Penny Lane: Me Too!
It's mind boggling how little attention JPH's theory gets. IMHO it's an absolute slam dunk. The level of detailed evidence is overwhelming. The JPH/Bob Brier/Dassault videos online are pretty decent but there's much much more beyond that. The many detailed analysis articles on the great Pyramid and JPH on the website emhotep.net/ are stunning (tho the website could be better organized!).
The only advantage an internal ramp offers is, you can see the sides of the thing during construction. Right? And the disadvantages are many.
IMHO keeping track of the slope is an easier problem than the structural work and risk involved in an internal ramp.
It didn't have to be perfect until the cladding went on - last. That gave them a chance to make corrections.
The massive 2017 #ScanPyramids project didn't mention, reference, or use any of Houdin's work. Disappointing. K Morishima's paper mentions the 1986 micro-gravimetric scan by a French team, but does not attempt to confirm, or disconfirm. I'm afraid these chaps are just having more JP Houdin-style discoveries without crediting or acknowledging him.
vimeo.com/251310371
Not only Jean Pierre Houdin theory is the most logical and plausible.
It really "amazed" me that a small tiny video Houdin made in Cairo. Where actual modern day Egyptians are using absolutely similar techniques. Is depicted in full color for anyone to see. Meaning the "obvious" was hiding in plain sight for centuries, for anyone to see!
Apparently before him, almost none payed attention to the relation. Also according to reports the same technique is still used in other North Africa countries!! From pilling up sand bags to straw bales, seems to be an omnipresent popular knowledge!!
What I find truly fascinating is the "obvious" that construction workers and farmers still use today. For it they don't even need to read or write or make advanced calculations... Because it work and it's easy/efficient. A true "Colombo's egg"! ;-)
What's more mystifying are the statues, cut from solid blocks of granite that are laced with quartz. So you have a tool that does a perfectly symmetrical face and body, with hugely varying radii and leaves a polished finish with absolutely no sign of tooling.
Yes! At the time, human beings had been working stone non-stop for 3 million years and three hominid species. That's 165,000 generations of stone working "people".
There are plenty of signs of working the stones, but the assholes and scumbags want you to believe otherwise.
@@Chris.Davies Having scoured the geopolymer institute info and a few other sources i can see some aspects that are well explained by concrete pouring, what are your thoughts on that method for some elements ?
Love this video & glad you mentioned Houdin's theory, it's the only one worth mentioning but doesn't get enough play... people who speak about external ramps, both strait and spiral need to get out more, Houdin has the master plan. And your channel is awesome, keep up the good work.

Well, even if assassin's creed is a violent game, ubisoft can do a great job at reproducing entire cities and places. Sometime when I see Italy pictures, I feel like I've already been there (AS2)
Absolutely. There have been exceptions (AC Rogue springs to mind), but in general, even if the gameplay in AC games has fluctuated between lovely and right-atrocious, the open worlds have always been just gorgeous, and barring a few things haven't taken too great a number of liberties with reality.
you gotta give credit where it due. Ubisoft makes games with horrible gameplay, storyline and really bad optimization, but they know how to create their world
I don't think so. They can be beautiful, bur Rockstar makes a MUCH, MUCH better job at making them feel real and alive.
The violence isn't the problem, it's the total lack of creativity. They're good as recreations of historical places, but they don't work well as games because they're creatively bankrupt.
I personally have loved the assassin creed series and will be buying the new one
What software is used to create such mesmerising animations and thumbnails???
Microsoft Paint and a lot of dedication.
Adobe After Effects
You know that quite a lot of the animations on this video are from a game, right?
Some of them are from assassin creed origins
Kunal Changoiwala Paint.net
I got something you can look into.
The Eiffel Tower, it was made with prefabrication technique that for some reason was barely used until after world war 2.
And there was another design that was suggested, this design was made of masonry and would have been so heavy that it would have collapsed long before they finished it.
I just started playing origins. I love just wandering around.

I have a lot of respect to them.

The Egyptians were great. They were great at inheriting massive, incredible stuff that they did not build. Not unlike most great civilizations we know of.
The nephilim built those not the Egyptians lol
@@soupflood K so who built the pyramids then
Hi Sir,
I enjoyed watching your video and I was pleased to see that in your mind my theory regarding the construction of true large pyramids of Ancient Egypt, those of the 4th Dynasty ones first, is worth promoting.
As I read in one of the comments, I'm fully aware that I won't be 100% right regarding all the details (I was not on site during the construction of Khufu's pyramid), but I can assure you that all the main ideas will be proved in due time:
- External ramp + internal ramp to build the body of the pyramid Inside-out
- Counterweight systems to hoist the huge granite beams from the port up to their final place above the King's chamber
- Presence of unknown corridors and chambers
Time will tell
My 2 cts ;-)
Thank you for your support
Jean-Pierre
Hey, so what is known now after 4 years?
Seems that the stones are dimensionally perfect for flipping. The pyramid is a ramp its self. Water between two polished surfaces floats them no matter the weight like an ice rink. The first large pyramid with two elevation angles was the learning phase for building above ramp level. Massive amounts of people that believe whatever they are told can accomplish unimaginable tasks. Good or bad. Rope and non-tackle pulleys could have been used, but I think simple levers and brute force are the key contributing factor.
I’m from South Korea, and I find your videos are tremendously informative. Thanks a lot!
Am i the only fucker out there who wants to restore the pyramids to its original state?
EDIT: or just you know.... make it look neat.
that would be insanely awesome :O
first i want a comprehensive investigation, rebuild would destroy a lot and im sure we are still not able to build stuff that hold for 4000 yrs or more today.
They would look at lot better - but still no:
Build entirely NEW pyramids that are useful. Some greenery, housing, a shopping-part. Oh and not to forget the most important thing: waterslides on the outside.
I kinda like them as is. Gives you a sense of how ancient they really are.
They would be useful tho.
The nice cover was also much more dureable, since the limestone is exposed it is getting attacked by wind and rain, with a renewed cover the pyramids would be good a second 5000 years trip, which in turn would assure Egypt's toursim economy for millenias.
This was great, love to see more on ancient engineering, for example the precision of Pumapunku or the vast Turpan water system in the Tarim Basin.
Pumapunku is not built with precision. That is a myth.
They are built well, but they are not precise in any way.
Even the ancient aliens morons using their set-squares showed the blocks aren't even properly square in most cases.
So, please stop believing the bullshit pedalled by con artists and people who want to sell you a DVD or a trip!
Really awesome video! Someone asked me the other day how the pyramids were built. Keep up the good work!
That stock footage at the beginning is amazing! Like they have a time machine O_O
its footage from the game haha
common sense would dictate that the higher portions are probably composed of smaller, lighter blocks. Perhaps the ancients used a graduated size of block as they ascended. a major portion of the interior could have been filled with rumble eliminating the need for dressed block courses. The major achievement of the ancients was their ability to keep the slopes at a constant angle and make certain that level was flat and within specs. That is what I find so awesome about their engineering. I also think that draft animals were used to haul weights, oxen for example. I wish someone would do a program on how they levelled the ground to receive the massive structure. No mystery just good consistent plane geometery.
There are 8 sides to the pyramid, which adds a whole new level of complexity

The four faces have a slight dent down the middle. That is not complex. It is just a point of interest.
Also a huge fan of Houdin's theory, I can't believe that Egyptologists didn't ask for help from architects and engineers to solve the mystery of the pyramids long ago.
It wasn't built by slaves.
Actually very little evidence for that, but I have no idea. They were clearly incredibly talented stonesmiths either way. "Wait did you just edit that to say "wasn't", or is my dyslexia acting up again?)
I heard they were so devoted to their kings (since they were half-gods or something) they din't have to be forced to work
also the egyptians were not, and are not, sub-saharan africans.
@Romano Coombs LMAO why are you spewing nonsense?
The latest analysis succeeded by bypassing soft tissue - often abundant in Egyptian mummies - to seek DNA from bone and teeth. Researchers carefully screened the DNA to rule out contamination from anyone who had handled the mummies since their excavation a century ago in the ancient town of Abusir el-Meleq.
“More than half of the mummies we studied had pretty decent DNA preservation,” says co-author Johannes Krause, a palaeogeneticist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany.
The team “succeeds where previous studies on Egyptian mummies have failed or fallen short”, says Hannes Schroeder, a palaeogeneticist at the University of Copenhagen. Now, researchers can hope to answer questions such as whether immigration drove ancient-Egyptian population growth, adds Sonia Zakrzewski, a bioarchaeologist at the University of Southampton, UK.
The scientists obtained information about variations in mitochondrial DNA, which is passed from mother to child, from 90 mummies. Because of contamination, the team was able to acquire detailed nuclear DNA, which is inherited from both parents, from only three mummies.
*Both types of genomic material showed that ancient Egyptians shared little DNA with modern sub-Saharan Africans. Instead, their closest relatives were people living during the Neolithic and Bronze ages in an area known as the Levant. Strikingly, the mummies were more closely related to ancient Europeans and Anatolians than to modern Egyptians.*
**The researchers say that there was probably a pulse of sub-Saharan African DNA into Egypt roughly 700 years ago. The mixing of ancient Egyptians and Africans from further south means that modern Egyptians can trace 8% more of their ancestry to sub-Saharan Africans than can the mummies from Abusir el-Meleq.**

Note the "pulse of sub-Saharan African DNA into Egypt roughly 700 years ago. The mixing of ancient Egyptians and Africans from further south means that modern Egyptians can trace 8% more of their ancestry to sub-Saharan Africans than can the mummies from Abusir el-Meleq."
Ancient Egyptians were semitic peoples, like the people in modern day Lebanon/Israel/Syria. Why try and mislead people?
Egyptians were not white Europeans, and no one said that. They were from the Levant. You did not, and will not, "debunk" anything. Where are the references in the link you provided? Where's the hard data? You are trying to "DEBUNK OMG" a Nature magazine article with an Ugandan article that does not provide any sources for their claims. If you want to debunk something, you need to provide hard data. Also in your first comment you say that "She ruled Egypt around 1300BC" but in your second comment when you are "DEBUNKING OMG" you say "let me guess, the mummies (...)are from post-Alexander/Prolemaic Era..." and then quote the "buried between 1380 bc(...) and 425AD" figure. News for you: 1380 BC was before 1300 BC! Dum dum

Hey i got a question could we make certain materials or all materials nearly fruictionless by making or shaping them so that thier sides are completely or nearly flat at the atomic level? (ANSWERED!)
no.
Clorox Ultra Bleach but that is away to reduce friction
The stick and ball model of the atomic system shows how it can't be "flat"
If you make a pair of blocks that have extremely flat faces you actually get more friction between them. If you rub them together they will even stick to each other enough that you can lift them both just by holding the top one. Gauge blocks are a practical example of this.
See Jian Shin true but i mean they have the same or nearly the same y,x, or z cordant depending on what side its on so if for example the atoms are on the bottom they share the same Y axis value
When I first heard Jean-Pierre Houdin's theory, I thought... Of course! Not only it makes the most sense, but also there are a few other pieces of evidence, besides what you mentioned, like the notch at one of the corners, or the fact that older structures were made with internal ramps which can be observed today. That's a lot more evidence than exists for any of the other theories.
This idea of a ramp is all well and good, until you look at the Pyramid of Djedefre. It sits on top of a hillock and is 481ft higher at its base than the great pyramid. Apparently the ramp angle idea fails when used against this as the hillock is steep enough that it'd make ramp construction unfeasible.

Dude just go to egypt
@@eduardosalamanca3808 can't, due to the lockdown!
I love the video. Having said that I find the dismissal of internal ramps to be a bit lazy. Assuming that it wasn’t done because it could go wrong, or would be difficult to do accurately is a weak reason for dismissal. The base of the pyramid isn’t a perfect square, but is slightly pointed inwards forming an eight sided star. I feel like it would be way more difficult to keep those lines straight going up than other methods.
Thanks for your thoughtful video on the subject... seems the main and universal problem (illusion) of reverse engineering the Great Pyramid's construction is the Plateau base assumption, ie, the present bedrock Plateau mass (vertically) roughly represents its original and pre-construction mass. This appears flawed. This, also appears to cause every other problem of understanding the build.
My research suggests the Mokattam Formation, at Giza, may have begun as a significantly greater vertical mass, a Butte, rising roughly 715 vertical feet. Love to talk about it, @Rephetic. This is my 13 year thesis, Mount Giza-The Shaft Build, and upcoming book. Thanks again.
One question about those sleds, actually 2:
1: How did they get that much weight ON the sled?
2: How did they get that much weight OFF the sled and perfectly in place?
I can draw my own 2 hypotheses, but everybody seems so belittle me, and nagging about the "evidence" at hand, where they cover just the bottom and the top, but nothing in between, which my 2 hypotheses DO cover, so I highly doubt that you would be interested... So I'm just going to send those to the curator of the Piramids itself, maybe he will take me seriously on my VERY SIMPLE hypotheses. And I don't even use levers to build it, except to "push" the stones in place instead of lifting them up (again, they had primitive ropes, and those ropes had to carry either the stones themselves, or a wooden construction beneath the stones, and how would they have removed either the ropes or construction???) If they used levers, it was to place the stones on wooden beams and the placement of the ropes was exactly placed to match with trenches in either the barges, sleds or just sand, so they could roll them off near where they needed to be placed. I'm also not a big fan of thinking that they had no wheels... if they can roll it on beams which are round, and are smart enough to build such giant structures, but were too stupid that they couldn't make wheels or even pulleys for the ropes, that's just stupid thinking...but it seems to be the consensus, go figure...
You don't even know which one is the Great Pyramid...
The biggest one
@@lambert5855 the great pyramid is on lower ground so it looks shorter despite being a larger structure.

@Real Engineering I have been following Houdin's Internal Ramp theory for like 5 years and there have been no updates. Did you talk with him? DO you know the progress of it? They proved there was cold air coming from a hollow spot at the long since existing hollow at the top of the pyramid, and they were attempting to get Egyptian authorities to allow some kind of small breach to see a ramp.
I researched more into this Egyptian Pyramids. This Pyramid was basically built as a energy generator to produce electricity. it is sort of similar to Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower. The atmosphere was ionzied according to Egyptians. Process was to produce electricity from the atmosphere.
Its my dream to visit Egypt, but I’ll wait when it’s safer in the region.
so you gonna show any gameplay?
Khufu, aka the Great Pyramid no longer has it's cap stones, those are on top of Khafre's pyramid, often mistaken for the great pyramid which is only a few meters taller and the only 'perfect' pyramid at Giza.
2 items. 1.) So, which is it: 4.4 cm (what you said), or 0.044 cm (what you showed on-screen)? 2.) What about the ground penetrating radar that was used in the late 1990s that showed better resolution of the internal path/ramp)?
I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on the pyramids being a huge power plant of static electricity
It's such a stupid "theory" that don't hold water not even as a basic lie! Beyond ridiculous.
@@callumcormack380 entertaining but silly. The pyramids most likely were simply a symbol of power/early form of propaganda. Towering over the population who would be in awe of these structures - further cementing in their minds the supposed god status of the pharaohs and giving the leadership the right to rule over them. You see similar megalithic structures in North Korea - massive statues of the “great leaders” and an ominous pyramid like structure in the Middle that looms over Pyongyang. If in 1000 years time archeologists discovered Pyongyang- those kind of conspiracy nuts would be going on about how this civilisation was ruled over by giant humans who built a massive power station in the capitol to power the whole of North Korea with free electricity... lol
The pyramids have interesting mathematics involved in their designs. They reflect and concentrate electromagnetic radiation, and their construction was obviously meticulous. One could not even be stared at initially after construction, as the reflection of the sun on the polished, smooth limestone would be blinding.
Let's not forget Khufu's pyramid is not the first one.
The first pyramid was build by Imhotep, the great architect and doctor for pharaoh Djoser, called the Step Pyramid. They build it in steps adding massive parts of it to the parts already constructed. Also, in the exterior it looks like steps.
Then, pharaoh Sneferu, none other than Khufu's father, build no less than six pyramids. He is the first to achieve the exterior shape of a pyramid (in his second attempt).
So, egyptians had knowledge in building pyramids by the time of Khufu.
The internal construction the kings chamber, queens chamber and accending passageways were all built first before any outer stones were laid. To build the queens & kings chamber they counterweight pulled all the granite stone blocks up the accending entrance (the entrance leading to the Grand gallery). You can see that the accending entrance starts at allmost ground level then if you look at the ground and lower wall surface in the Grand gallery you can see signs on the stone that they pulled the granite blocks through there on a rail system of flat and rollers type material then up to the anti-chamber next to the kings chamber and counterweight lifted those blocks with amazing precision up to build 5 tier kings chamber. There is grooves in the walls of the anti-chamber which ithink show were the ropes were put to act as a lift pulley

36 workers pulling a 60-ton stone onto the ship? I'd like to see that video. 4000 years ago there were 3 waterfalls on the Nile.
The best theory I've heard for building the pyramic was floating the blocks down the nile from the quarry down south and up a channel on the side of the pyramid. It was pretty convincing and there's some evidence backing that theory.
Dude nice sponsorship!
Actually improved the video, it wasn't just a tacked on script reading at the end.
does that in any way make it a worse video?
yeah, sweet sponsorship.. and you get the rest of the video if you sign up and stay logged into UPLAY
Sorry but not even realengineering can make yet another assassins creed game seem cool
apology accepted.
Not to mention the buggy released game like previous AC games. If you are buying it, at least wait until they batch it up. I gave up on the franchise years ago after seeing how there is no end in sight to the story.
What was the building shown when he started talking about how granite has great compressive strength? It’s beautiful.
There are 5 chambers above the kings chamber using 100's of 75tonne blocks to build the floors placing the blocks in rows
I understand that it's very important to preserve the Pyramids, but it's crazy to think that we have them at our reach and we still don't know completely what is inside o_O
The Egyptians did not build the Great Pyramid. They came along after it was built and occupied it and vandalized it with their primitive tools.
Love these videos man, keep it up !
I guess the ramp has a next problem. One group of workers pulling up a stone, that's okay, but imagine a chain of workers pulling stones one after the other ... all walking on a smooth surface smeared up with fine wet sand. How could the ever have enough grip to pull the stones in the first place???
How many pyramid workers needed to be fed 1-2-3 times a day for say...20 years (some estimates on total time to build such a structure)
How many farmers did it take to ensure a constant flow of food (and food storage for drought, floods, disease) + all those farmers had to eat also...
How much fertile land (acres) were needed, and where was a community of such large proportions located that didnt interfere with such acreage ???
This is what happens when god plays Tetris.
The lever and fulcrum is possible with the heaviest stones being used to cantilever the other stones from the inside out in rotation that could possibly account for the ramp looking effect.
The only part I wonder about that method is you would be using long wooden poles to act as the part holding the two stone over the fulcrum, and I wonder if the wood available to them is strong enough to support thousands of pounds of stone. I’ve seen animations of people doing it, but I fear that a few beams of cypress might snap under the weight of free supporting 10000lb stones.
You are spot on with "the pyramid's were built." Every thing after that is unproven. The math and animations are nicely done.
Search "The Documented Ancient Construction Method of The Great Pyramid"
New theory: it was built underground but over time the sand has shifted
You say the sand has shifted, in what direction and how long would it have taken for that to happen and from where? The sand has always been there but a theory you could possibly think of is them maybe how they used the sand to their benefits. While constructing the pyramids there is a theory that they used the wet sand to help slide the bricks more easily. This is depicted in their art work on based on a wall painting from tombs, which depicts a person standing in front of a wooden sledge and wetting the sand.
Fucking hell. Selling out to Ubisoft is quite bad.
The larger pyramids were already there. The small ones were the ones were the ones the Egyptians tried to recreate also the big ones all line up perfectly to the Omarion stars
Nice video!! One thing you got wrong: the great pyramid of Kufu is the one without the casing stones and without the top... the one you show in the first part is the pyramid of kefren...
Aliens
One of them was the from the Fallen (Transformers) he was trying to harvest earths sun, and the other one was from apocalypse (X-men) who used it for transferring others powers into his. Your welcome
Would ever do a full hour long documentary? And, how come your videos look so good?
With all that said, the theories still fall short on how the stone blocks were actually put in place.
Still not going to buy the game but nice video
6:12 was smooth asf
Though I’m worn out on Assassins Creed, Discovery mode sounds amazing!
I love the idea that the devs of Assassins Creed have added a mode to your these historical locations.
So proud of my ancestors. Let's hope modern Egypt rises up to its former glory.
ahmed ibrahim It never will with Islam.
Sven Servette at least we are fighting it since 2013. If we won Egypt will be reclaimed
ahmed ibrahim so you are saying that islam is the reason why you guys are so undeveloped.. why not blame your hypocrite government. have you ever read your country's history? Centuries earlier egypt was a glorious country, center of knowledge peace and harmony filled the place but that was back when people followed islam the right way, back when islam was held by everyone strongly..
Mr. Omen the modern version of political Islam is what is ruining our countries. And it is used by our corrupt government to justify their existence. It is against free thinking or innovation because you have to follow their orders or you are an infidel. And it has established backwards traditions like the justification of sexual harassment of women and encouraging overpopulation. You can't question or oppose their actions because they represent God's word on earth and when they get overthrown they start suicide bombings. The current version of terrorist Islam must die and with its death Egyptians will return to their own heritage.
ahmed ibrahim modern arab governments are secular or let me put it like this they are actually fighting islam, I dont know what you are talking about, do you live in egypt or abroad because you definitely dont know whats going on here..
"aliens" has just been a cop out for people who cant explain things logically, might as well say "santa clause did it" grow up people, aliens dont exist and neither does santa clause

The Khafre Pyramid is only *very* slightly smaller than Khufu, but it appears to be bigger and taller because the ground it was built on is about 10 metres higher than the ground Khufu sits on. So it is commonly mistaken for the "Great Pyramid"
Great info... Thanks
The day Aton returns is the day he will explain how, when and why he built the Pyramids.
"stonehenge" was similar to Egypt pyramid building
in the same way that talking through a string /cup phone is like a cell phone... which is to say...not similar at all...don't do that.

Hey man
Ive recently picked up on a video claiming that they used water tunnels to float the blocks a long way to the pyramid and then up the pyramid. It looked pretty convincing. Can u tell me ur thoughts about it?
You forgot to mention the quarrying and shaping of the blocks with copper chisels and pounding stones which you did not factor into your equations with the academic timeline of the construction allegedly taking 25 years during the reign of Khufu.
A little "detail" for people that might be interested in the game: The microtransactions do seem to heavily affect the experience. It looks like the game has been heavily influenced by the possibility of microtransaction purchases and so it can be a bit of a grind fest (the bad kind) for anyone that does not purchase the armor and weapons you got to get with real money.
AstroLizardChannel Well, my experience hasn't been the same. The closest thing to microtransactions I've used are the Ubisoft points or whatever they're called on Uplay. Other than that, haven't spent an extra dime and yet I'm getting through quite easily. So, tips for new players: do sidequests so you level up and go explore as many ruins as you can because they'll often contain great weapons/shields.
This is so not true, it's not like supply drops. You don't need to buy content for better gaming experience. Plus most of the stuff you can buy you can also just get in the regular game trough heka chests.
Are you talking about Helix points? They have been around for a while and not nessisary at all for the game. You either get cosmetics or essentially cheats. Weapons are extremely easy to come across in this game, they are locked by levels and they will always scale with level meaning the weapons you can buy with Helix are not needed at all.
In terms of "grind fest" the game has been heavily influenced by RPGs like The Witcher 3. What did you expect? If an RPG gives XP abilities and income abilities (which this game does) get those abilities.
I have completed the whole game in 26 hours got level 40 at 30 hours so no its n9t that bad
Not even close to true. I bought the deluxe edition and got "special" legendary weapons but you get tons of them free in the game and the best ones that i still use now that i am at the lvl cap are the ones i got for free from missions within the game. Stop spitting ou shi t that you dont know anything about

You could also build a ramp circling the pyramid. If the sides are 230 meters and you have a 5% incline that's 11,5 meters elevation per side. The ramp wouldn't be as big as you simply add to the already existing ramp after 4 sides. 4 sides is 46 meters, so it would take 4-5 spirals to reach the max height. With support between the spirals,t his isn't hard to do.
I fucking love ancient Egypt, do more videos about it pertaining to all of the crazy contraptions they had for their time.
The pyramids where made long before the Egyptians showed up
Godly structures? No!
Amazing structures? Yes.
God built the heavens and the earths without any pillars.
One very interesting theory that i saw somewhere is that they had a system of locks set up to float the blocks to the top as well as use waterways to get them to the pyramids in the first place
It's the Pyramid of Khafre which has the remaining white limestone casing stones at the top. I believe these outer blocks were removed by an earthquake and that some were incorporated into buildings in Cairo.
