- In Dahshur, 40km south of Cairo, two pyramids vie to be the most beautiful. Two ground-breaking monuments that are allegedly the first true pyramids - a vital element to understand the evolution of pyramid building.
To the south lies the Bent Pyramid and its peculiar angle. To the north lies the Red Pyramid, perhaps the very first triangle-shaped pyramid. Both pyramids were supposedly made by Snefru - founder of the 4th pharaoh dynasty and father of the famous Khufu. The greatest builder in Ancient Egypt.Two pyramids whose brand new building techniques were probably used as reference by all pharaohs who came after.

15:32 Snefru's engineers failed? It's still there, isn't it? Will 20th-century buildings still be around in 4000 years? I'd say SNEFRU's engineers were pretty damned good.
The shape makes it fairly stable I would guess. It's unlikely to tip over.
So they really think that the ancient Egyptian didn't know how to build a small model to find out the angle that's possible? I believe the bending is on purpose. For what reason ever, but it's unlikely an error. Zahi is trying so hard to have en explication for everything. He likes to be seen as super smart 😊
As much as I wish to agree with you my friend, as much as I have to say it's the fortunate mistake that led into the amazing Pyramids u find in Giza and multiple other places inside or even abroad.
But let's agree on one main thing, Zahi acts like he was attending the meeting between the pharos and the engineers whom built them the pyramid 😂😂
I agree
Hi soon all archeologists and people on the world will know from me how the pyramids were built by calculating and evidences also all theories of raising stones to any heights. Iam from Egypt and we must know which we built
Hey girl How much for some top
Assuming he didn't nail his Engineers & Architects to the floor after they botched his Pyramid then yeah...
I agree, The construction was intentional
Anyone else dislike Zahi as much as I do?
I came, saw him, and puked.
As soon as I saw zahi I stopped watching.
Dislike is a strong word but...
It's our History & the World deserves to know
He's scientifically reactionary, opposed to technical innovations and historical reinterpretations. Plus he’s a nasty antisemite.
Most do tbh.
I visited the pyramids fifty years ago in Egypt and I felt at the time the interior galleries were not meant for humans to traverse, it was more like the interior of a machine of some sort. The pyramid blocks had to have been poured into forms like cement. No other way. Someone knew how to liquify granite back then. You would still require the quarries.
Es sind sicher Maschinen, die mit dem Erdinnern zu tun haben, das dürfte langsam allen bekannt sein.
delusional theory # 846
I saw an interesting video of a modern day Mason who was making a block of poured concrete & inside the block was smaller rocks that was acting like fill so he wouldn't have to use so much expensive concrete...
But what caught my attention is when he stuck a vibrating tube into the wet concrete & this removed all the voids and air pockets - This of course would explain the Nubs & the many different sizes of them, perhaps bigger nubs were because of a moist mixture & smaller ones were when the material was drying out more
But anyway - When he pulled the tube out it made a perfect Nub
But it doesn't explain square Nubs so
Unless the Square Nubs were a structural thing? Perhaps the Square Nubs were meant to be for attaching beams or other components?
Anyone who believes such garbage has never poured anything into a form and then removed the form on to the next one. See Hoover Dam for the nearest example of what this method actually looks like
If they were poured wouldnt they be similiar? Why is EVERY block uniquely shaped? That's allot of one off molds to make?
11:02 The ancient Egyptians didn't know how to sub-divide a circle, so they were doing trial-and-error? Will you sell me some of whatever it is you're smoking?
I have some questions 🙋♂️
Are there any mention of pyramid construction in any of the Egyptian writings that we have? If there are none doesn’t that suggest that someone else built them?
I would think that some mention of their construction, how much food was provided to the people working, would be something some government official would say.
😂
yes there is scribes that in the day recorded the logistics and men however the dates are in the dynasties from 5000 bc on
I think they need to start to stop labelling them as burial chambers...
Don't be a Silly Milly....
Then EVERYTHING in Egypt would be called a Temple
Or calling them egyptian for that matter
Anytime Zahi is involved they ain't finding anything new, zahi knows everything how could you find anything new with him around
Awwwww
And even if for some girl does find it … He will claim he did…
Seriously...
How freaking hard is it to excavate a tunnel & see whats underneath?, Sure its centuries of debris that needs to be shoveled out but...
The information found there could save Mankind
@@IronicallyVague So you already know what’s going to be found?
I believe that the pyramids at Giza are much older than 4,000.
I believe you are correct.
More like 4500 years old.
@@rosifervincent9481 I think more than 10,000 years old.
@@ArtFreeman Nah…
@@rosifervincent9481 I do not know what "nah" means but the evidence I have seen so far points to a very long time again more than 10,000.
@@ArtFreeman What would you say is the single most convincing piece of evidence you have seen to suggest the pyramids are more than 10,000 years old.
“Nobody knew what a true pyramid should look like” What? 😂 they went straight to building a full size stone pyramid then? They didn’t play with clay as children or build with wooden bricks first. Come on now…
14:17 Built on sand. And unstable gravel. FOUR THOUSAND YEARS AGO. But it's about to topple over? What WERE they thinking⁉️
9:00 Still no human remains ever found inside any pyramid? Not much of a tomb.
The tombs in the pyramids were found long before the tombs of the valley of the kings. Grave robbers robbed everything from the pyramids tombs and a lot of the valley of the kings tombs.
If they were in fact buried in the pyramid tombs the mummies would have been robbed and lost many years ago.
@@irish.marketer Not a scrap of mummy linen was found, no cheap trinkets accidentally kicked under 20-ton stone block, nothing says "actual tomb". I can see using them as tourist traps for the area rubes, "Visit The Homes Of The Gods! Tours 5 shekels" Sorta like they've done for last 4,000 years.
The ventilation shafts leading from King's chamber to outside also don't add up, dead people, even kings, don't need air but spaces accessible by people DO.
They probably figured that venting the Queen's Chamber would not naturally draw air, or maybe the shafts continue on behind the door that doesnt have a stone block behind it...
The bent pyramid would've been good design to discourage robbers and plunderers, as I'd think moving facing stones might result in unfortunate avalanches.
the moment i heard zahi's voice i closed the video
But u left a comment 🤔
@@mono20914 because i care about others , don't want them to waste time until they hear his voice
4:41 Ah-HA! Snefru's pyramids were a consumer test, to see which one would draw the most tourists!
I think that Egyptians did not build the Gisa Pyramids and were as puzzled about their use as we are today. Not unlike civilized people today desiring the tallest building ,,I think they were envious that they had to sit and look at intelligence they didn`t have and tried unsuccessfully with the sharper angle of the Bent pyramid attempting to do it better and higher,but began having design flaws ,then changing the angle. Then having even more design flaws erected a 45 degree pyramid,but still,,,,,,I think is inferior to the Gisa pyramids in design.
See they don’t say that the best most complex pyramids were built first then these other ones! Not what you would expect especially if the Egyptians built the first ones you would expect the building methods to get better but none actually ever achieved the greatness of the first 3!
Some interesting ideas are presented. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks!
One third of the video is beating around the bush.
As an Egyptian, what really amazes me about my ancestors is not the buildings itself as in structure or the purposes of why it was built-up in start or even the mind blowing secrets related to each temple, pyramid or tomb scientist discover every now and then.
What really amazez me is the "WILL" behind each of those miracles they had built.
Please, check out what i mean, they started building this pyramid and after a while they realized that in order to end up having a straight pyramid, They gonna need to build it "MUCH TALLER" and "MUCH WIDER" due to the wrong measurments they did in start, so they decided to stop as continuing means building something never been and never seen , so they stoped.
THEN SIMPLY BUILT THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA, ( MUCH TALLER / MUCH WIDER / FULL OF SECRETS ).
THEIR WILL WAS UNBREAKABLE, IM REALLY PROUD TO BE EGYPTIAN!!
Egyptians dit not build them hehe they just took over them some say
@@user-wx2fp9cm3i
Well, Don't you think if Egyptians took over them some day, Shouldn't we find there some different language or different bodies or even different way and methods of artitestructure other than what Egyptians kept building for the next couple of thousands of years ? 😂
Tbh, that's a very funny idea of yours 😂😂😂
@@marwanahmed2289 not my idea
@@user-wx2fp9cm3i
My bad, didn't catch the last part of " Some says " correctly.
I find it really weird that some people keep claiming that their ancestors build the Pyramids with no evidence of a similar structure in their home lands !!
As if they suddenly decided to come and visit, build a huge structure that took around 2o years to get it done then leave bk to their home land where their best proof of existence at their places is some primative tiny houses and some tools !!
I call that a very expensive huge gift 😂😂
@@marwanahmed2289 there more to it then we know that for sure its fascinating all the math involved in the construction and they all over the world
like some similar construction marks are to be found all over the world too in caves
Well at least someone looked at the progression of the builds and coined it a "research and development process" which those builds most certainly were, particularly when one factors in Sneferu's first build at Meidum which was essentially a "mock up" of what would eventually be built at Dahshur (Red Pyramid). Factoring in the chamber layouts and the chemical assay of the residue left on the interior blocks, it appears they were used to accomplish a specific chemical reaction, the creation of sodium carbonate using a "Solvay type" process. They obviously had some trouble overcoming the exothermic heat issues, hence the inclusion of a cooling system within the next build, the Great Pyramid. Sodium carbonate was known to the early Egyptians as "natron", the salt used in the mummification process. Chemical plant...go figure. 🤔
Conjecture and assumtion,pretty pictures
13:02 - ..why The monument was about to collapse..- and yet is still there after 4600 years...
“Thanks to photogrammetry”, please not again 😭
The bent pyramid, if continued on original angles, would have consumed 2-3 times the building material the current one used.
Very cool. Love it. Wish we could know everything
200 years ago they had a lot of time on their hands😊
I hate more than anything that the case stones have all been removed on all the Pyramids! Just think how amazing it would be, on top of it already being breath taking without them
They are in the process of refacing one of them
@@devinstock5749I can't wait to see that. I bet it was amazing at the time they where finished
21:28 Red pyramid wasn't built on sand but was built on a platform that WAS built on sand⁉️
27:45 I once visited an ancient tomb in Thailand. The ceiling of the main chamber was full of bats like this one.
Amazing crap explanation....thank God for photoGramercy.
60 degrees did not cause the instability...it was the sand...but it would have been a lot taller.
No Mummy has ever been found in any Pyramid.
This is simply not true, two minutes of research required, the first one I came across was 5th dynasty but there are others
it's possible to calculate the possible maximum height with math.
just need to know how much weight a single block will crush under and single block's own weight.
experimenting by building a tower of single blocks will yield the result.
making a pyramid using these blocks will divide the pressure by three and it will be at the 3 times the height of single blocks.
say one block is two tons and it's 20*20*50, single tower's max block count is twenty blocks at the cracking limit. 20*2=40 tons of direct pressure of dried limestone.
20*20=400 inches of height.
400*3=1200 inches of total height limit for this material.
experimental procedures suchs as surface of contact area changes, granite supports, hollow areas for weight relief would have been beneficial.
If main inner tower is made out of bricks and mortar,and using heavy materials and casing parts without using lighter filling as height goes up, inner wards pressure could have damaged it, trying to build a perfect pyramid with only four corners, perfect materials could be the reason. idealism and physics,and a Pharaoh's demands for speed or symbolism would have been a catastrophic mix.
Kufu with doubled corners using a minute concave angle and thus distributing the weight to 8 points also helped it to survive flawlessly. also Petrie's calculations leading to a depression in inner fillings and casings using the inner base harder and harder by each level.
Building Chartre cathedral was a miracle by an unknown man, whose name lost to time, but we also know insane demands made by the bishop which he tackled along the way with never before seen solutions.
also gisa is a possible location to have hills of bedrock still visible like sphinx itself. how can you build the greatest of them all if asked today? I would go for using Himalaya for the base, and build on it. sphinx and courage shown with putting kufu on the edge of such a plato indicates such design. digging, building,needed work, and all cost and time would go down of such plan put to use. being practical and going away from holy spaces such as dashur or saqqara maybe shows kufus ingenuity.
OK. So they can take these pictures to create a 3d image of the pyramids. Can they 3d print this image out and show us a true sample odel of these pyramids? are they willing to share this image with us so someone cam print it out?
what if the order was in reverse? red was first and they tried to make a more ambitious one with 58 degrees?
Well looks as if it was slapped together for power while they settled in?
If I were build a pyramid, I would build it from the inside out. The chambers are built then everything comes from that.
Perhaps Senefru was buried at Meidum in a mastaba. His son's were buried there.
Ha ha ha. What nonsense. Snefru changed his mind mid-way? That is the best "alternate" theory you can come up with?
Egyptians were squatters...
The bats obviously built the pyramids for their home.
Well there are certainly some batty people on here! 😉😊
Pyramids were being built in Sudan long before Egypt. The technology was already known. They weren't inventing pyramids!! 🙄
i find it funny how they can talk about the same crap again and again hehe An Incredible Discovery is that they are not the only ones in the world there are many more some even bigger
Bigger? How about higher? Man made with stone slabs and not some random pyramid shaped hills?
lol watching these ol bwaz huff and puff and get out of breath tryna squeeze in….ain’t exactly athletic swashbuckling Indiana Jones’s
AND MY AXE!
Zahi Hawass ruins this documentary and every documentary he's in. Enough. It's time for new voices in public Egyptology.
So, this beautiful pyramid is a "mistake", but is also the second oldest pyramid, and the only one which stands whole, with its clad and all, despite gigantic earthquakes that fully destroyed the near-by temples.. How exactly was it a "mistake" then? That is a canard perpetrated by the European archeologists (particularly the French) of the last century, and now is perpetrated by everybody else, no matter how illogical that nonsense is. The fact is stirring them in their dogmatic face. If the pyramid was a "mistake", they could have easily add a new layer to the lower part, making it look just like others and bland. It is like the same canard about the Pantheon in Rome which the dogma says about its double pediment as being "a mistake" that presumably the perfectionist Romans "forgot" to fix by simply chisling the second pedimetn away!!!! Oh really?!
I have to put a reminder for myself to stop clicking on Slice docs... at least the ones about Egypt... they all that idiot front and center, and I just can't listen to him... :(
why are the French so obsessed with pyramids, do they want to build one on Mars ?
“ We wuz kaaangz n shiieettt “ but there’s only mud hutts in Africa now?
NOT EGYPTIAN!
Annoying music … and the kings were not builders but their team of architects.
Stop making up stories...YOU DON'T KNOW. Nobody knows.
pure BS
a whole lot of BS is stated in this video as fact
Egyptians didn't build the pyramids..
No, a bunch of 6-year olds with Legos and Play-Doh, wanker
Plz tell us who did!
It's very well documented that they did, even papyrus accounts of the people who quarried and transported the stones have been found.
@johng4093 as you can see I'm still waiting on a response to my question, possibly because the person who made the original statement has no idea what they're talking about !
Just what is "Incredible" here? Much ado about nothing.
first comment
means nothing--somewhere i want them to find a pyramid 400 feet tall that goes 800 feet down into the sand
