The Great Pyramid’s Niche of Secrets
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- We are fortunate that many explorers from the past have documented their exploration of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The monument has changed greatly over time, with many critical parts broken, relocated, and renovated or replaced.
The ‘Queen’s Chamber’ of the Great Pyramid is particularly difficult to understand because it has been subjected to the most damage from visitors. Recently new testimonies from 1837 have come to light which provide critical evidence to understanding if a sarcophagus is missing from within it.
The entirely unique niche on the chamber’s eastern wall has taunted investigators since before written records. Why is there? What secrets might it hold? The interpretations of explorers have caused tunnels to be dug through it and beneath it. These excavations have accidentally given us critical information to understanding the Queen’s Chamber beyond hunting for a missing tomb.

Fantastic work. Great research as is always the case with your channel. Was great working with you on this. 👍
Amazing collaborations between these 2 channels! Keep up the good work 💯
Both of you smashing it
He's even better than you! Very elaborate, descriptive and precise.
@@ravevolution2 that doesn't make sense. This channel only uploads concrete evidence and proof whilst ancient architects uploads mainly hypothesis and theories.🤷♂️
@@stalker-anoniem3515 hello you look looney want a sandwich?
My favorite channel on CZcams, and the only one that I let bother my phone with notifications! Thanks for making these
Absolutely mine, too. No. 1 so far! Wish he would do videos a little more often, but can imagine the amount of work going into each one makes that too difficult. I learn something new w/every one. 🌞🌻
One of my favorites on CZcams! Such a great video.
After doing some digging around, it turns out that Vyse's unpublished papers are at the Ashmolean and his notes and some small finds are still stored (unchecked!) by the British Museum in their main archive.
Trying to get the Petrie Museum interested in going through his archive because some of the finds are listed as 'unidentified ceramics'.
This info seems pretty important...something to be actively by "experts" in the field...what's up with the lack of interest? is it simply labeling? Makes no sense to me...
@@laurah1020 It's mostly a matter of time and money. They have projects that get them funding which will always come before things that are just 'interesting'. They no longer have the fabulously rich patrons that previous generations could milk for large sums of cash.
That and the fact that there are literally millions of documents and finds that have been catalogued and stored. You'd need an army of eagle-eyed researchers just to dent the backlog.
@@Gainn The problem with that excuse is that the worthless pieces of shit never figure much out, everything is a mystery to the "experts".
@@v4skunk739 Yup, totally right, the little green men from Venus did. 🙃
@@v4skunk739 Okay. So where's your proof?
When I look at the niche in the Queen's Chamber, specifically how it's asymmetrical with respect to the wall it's in, I get the feeling that this fact is a clue to something just out of reach. It's quite easy to see how those with an exploratory itch find this room so interesting.
A proper engineering or architectural study of its purpose, informed by culture and history, would probably be the best place to start. After all, significant blind excavation has already turned up nothing of note. The lack of study into such structures given the simplicity it would be with modern techniques is, to me, an astonishing blind spot. One really does wonder why so little such scrutiny is done, or perhaps, allowed.
I'm so glad people have started doing independent research into the pyramids with thorough observation skills, because waiting for mainstream media to ever present the truth is a lost cause. This channel is incredible. Thanks for all these brilliant vids. 🎯
I really like the theory that all three chambers in the pyramid were meant for the pharoah and represent different stages of the building project enabling him to have a burial chamber ready in case he died before the work was finished. So there should not have been sarcophagi in either the "Queen's" chamber or the subterranean one - as no-one was ever buried in them
It's human nature that one of the hardest things any of us can do is to not be blinded by a fond belief, even when there is contrary evidence. You want to find evidence of a sarcophagus in the queen's chamber and yet in all honesty you had to accept these accounts are not it. Many would not accept that.
Thank you for another excellent video.
please look at inticate carvings in granite on LUXOR OBELISK , please explain ?
I think being proven wrong or right is equally exciting. Both are the same step toward the truth. So called disappointing explanations are fun because they are the closest we can determine to what is really there
I just love the phrase, 'blinded by a fond belief'. That crosses time, miles and every mindset.
Been waiting for a new video since watching the Ancient Architects collaboration. Loved both. Laughed when you stated ‘if you’re one of the few who haven’t watched that video”. You know your fans/subs well. I’m sure a majority of us had seen it. Looking forward to your next installment. 😊
I'm skeptical of this conclusion. It feels like more of a leap to me to say that someone could misconstrue the lack of a box for a box. I think it's pretty well understood, generally, what a sarcophagus is when that term is used. There's no reason to use that term otherwise. I'm not saying there was one and I'm not saying there wasn't, but to even lean toward "there wasn't" based on this explanation is a mistake imo. I don't buy the "knocking on the wall makes an echo in the tunnel" being the same as the sound created by knocking on a hollow box either-- two different acoustic experiences. An echo is not the same as a hollow thud.
my head-canon explaination for the sand is as follows. if you wanted to make a tomb as hard to break into as possible then you would want to surround and fill it with substances that are resistant to digging, while something like granite resists digging through it by being really strong and hard, sand is different. sand resists digging by being really loose and constantly flowing back down into the hole filling itself back in, if you don't sure up the sides then it's impossible to dig deep into sand. in short sand resists digging by being really annoying as opposed to being tough. for this reason i believe the sand was added and used to fill corridors as a mild form of defence to prevent digging. it would be really hard to remove requiring hundred or thousands of buckets being carried up through small corridors to do so but putting in in place would be easy as you could just pour it down the entrance and let the slope of the tunnels do the work. it could also explain the small chutes to nowhere inside the chambers.
It's not a tomb
@@coreykoepsel
Anyone who tries to insist it's a tomb, is living in a fantasy world.
Sand is better than nothing but that's it. Get 100 guys with buckets and they would have a passage plugged with sand excavated in no time. Now try doing the same thing when the corridor is filled with limestone blocks...now you can only use a few guys and they have slowly destroy their way in block by block...
@@JoelRSmith whether its stone or sand you'd still only get 1 person at a time digging due to the narrowness of the passageways. two people can't pass each other so they'd have to form a chain. with buckets going each way, empty one way full the other, that would be really awkward in such close confines. then consider the slope and the sheer volume that would need to be moved. it would be a very laborious process digging through yard after yard of sand.
Your on drugs.
Thanks for doing these videos, HFG. Always good to get fresh, well-researched takes on these monuments. Should be more of it!
Thanks to HFG and Matt at AA for continuing to bring new info and insight into the mysteries of ancient Egypt. The excitement and wonder of my trip there 30 years ago gets rekindled each time I see a new video on the subject.
It is already clear to me, that any further praise of your channel, and Matt's AA's channel, would be superfluous and redundant. However, both of you do deserve high praise for your intelligent analyses, respect for one another's work and recent collaboration. Bravo. This is to everyone's benefit. We "Happy Amateurs" are indebted to the both of you.
Hello there again. I am going to take a "wild card" from the "Monopoly" board and give it my best guess. I may end up in "jail" but, ...here's my take on this highly intriguing subject.
After watching this wonderful video over and over several times, I have a "hypothesis". It's in two parts.
1.) There was a Sarcophagus, BUT, (someone) messed up and broke it during their excavations. Our friends Al Adrizi, Weiss, Caviglia and Petri were not the first to enter the Great Pyramid as we know. (Not to mention the Circus Performer, Barzoni or Barboni, I can't recall, who was notorious for not being the most "gentle" or methodical of treasure hunters.)
Over the millennia, who can say how many attempts were made to plunder the monument? Anyway, I believe the Sarcophagus was damaged and ended up as rubble. Who wants to come home to the British Museum with a pile of scrap and claim "It really is a Sarcophagus, if they just glue it together again?" Embarrassing, what?
2.) From the photographic evidence, one can estimate the the space in the Niche to be approximately large enough for a "modern" person to lay down horizontally. Approximately 5.5 Ft. from the photos. If this was truly a "Queen's" chamber / Sarcophagus / Niche, then I submit that it may have been a small Sarcophagus, as the average height of Ancient Peoples was less than that of the modern person. It therefore may have fit into the Niche horizontally more like an alter with the god peering from behind over the box, protecting it. So, to get deeper into the Niche, where they perhaps suspected to find "Booty", they may have attempted to move it and broke it in the process. All the rubble in the Niche, which we see in the photos, may actually be in part, the Sarcophagus itself?
Do I go to "Jail" now? I can't wait to read your take on this and your upcoming special video. Thanks.
There are a few examples of 'coffers within coffers' - but it's uncommon and usually the stone is a different type in the two layers. I think the niche cavity being a back-up 'unused' coffer is a reasonable idea. But I think it's much less likely a 2nd coffer was actually embedded within and entirely lost to time.
@@HistoryforGRANITE OK, sounds reasonable. Thank you so much for your reply. At least Im' not I jail! But, I still can't afford Boardwalk!🙃
Man, your videos are awesome. It is great that you and Matt have worked together. I would love to see more collaborations in the future. Greetings from Austria.
What I'd like to see is a video on what the pyramid(s) is/are _not._
Sort of a mythbusting list. Like it's _not_ a grain storage silo (Ben Carson). It's _not_ an alien beacon. It's _not_ a giant sundial.
There's a lot of theories about what the pyramids were used for and I think debunking them is a good starting point for layfolk like me who don't know if it was a make-work project to keep a restless population employed, a vanity project for kings, a temple to the gods, a celestial calendar, a tomb, or something to impress visiting dignitaries.
I hate the current info going around about the pyramids.
Aliens & a FUCKIN electric power plant is insulting to maintain.
Your vids are top notch buddy. Well researched and your manner makes them easily digestible. I hope success finds you.Keep up the good work.
For me the opening shots of the bus entering the site made the whole thing REAL. I won't ever visit - my mental illness will never let me - so I am ever grateful! It may sound very strange to most people but this is the difference between a huge disappointment in my life or me actually being able to imagine and most likely being able to dream of being there. Thankfully I DO have very rich dreams BUT I can't dream of things that are too much removed from my own experiences - I think the bus ought to do it 🙄🙂👍🙏
I love ancient Architects and your Channel. As they are my two favorite channels to watch. You guys always put up awesome content keep up the great work!
You and Matt did a really good job. Looking forward to the special video. Thank you!
To be fair to dormion i see hawass on discovery talking in red pyramid and he states that when he is alone there is a draft of air coming from a separate source than entrance, he states it needs to be investigated, that was a few years ago(around time he broke his foot in Osiris shaft) i only remember i went to his website 2 weeks after to see if he updated but nothing, he also champions that khufu is hidden somewhere in his pyramid.
I don't think that Khufu is hidden in the pyramid but hidden chambers, perhaps filled with burial goods might be.
The thing about a body is that it has to be brought into the pyramid after death so any chamber that the body is laid to rest in has to be easily accessible for the funeral procession. Removing blocks, relaiding floors and all that seems unlikely.
@@lmonk9517 I hope khufu his hidden and he beat tomb robbers and archeologists for eternal peace.
At 8:20" Caviglia was always off digging in Mummy pits" . The Queen's sarcophagus was in the niche sitting on the granite or marble block and the treasure hunter brain of Caviglia figured the treasure she had was behind the sarcophagus so he destroyed it to find her treasure and left the ruble . Sometime around 1817.
Discovered your channel on my own, but glad to see you know Matt.
You guys really give the feeling the WE (meaning you, Matt AND the fans of your channels) will get to the bottom of these long thought questions.
Kudos.
I love how collaborative you and Ancient Architects are. You and Matt are so wonderful and insightful
Another wonderfully researched, captivating and informative video. I always look forward to new material from you. Keep up the awesome work 👍
This channel is so good, it can only be of others not yet discovering this treasure trove of information. I was led here through "Ancient Architects" channel, another fantastic channel on its own.
In the old photos, with all that rubble in it, the visible part of the square cavity inside the niche looks even more like a sacrophagus than it does today.
Love your videos, your work is wonderful. Been watching Matt awhile now such a wealth of knowledge. Thanks
Love your videos, I feel like its hard to watch videos about stuff like this that are level headed like yours.
Great channel!!! So interesting, and the delivery of information with clarity and insight is really wonderful
Thank You
Thank you for yet another wonderful video. Your knowledge is exceptional but more importantly giving people time to view the Ancient Architects video 1st tells me that you are also a very exceptional human. I look forward to future videos.
Its so awesome to know that discussions between you and Ancient Architects exist and theres comradeship between you both especially on this cutthroat platform where everyone is fighting for views and channels that specialize in similar topics are more often competing than collaborating. If only all these young content creators knew that working together and building up others just increases the overall audience and will work in your favor too
Gay
A brilliant video mate ! Please do more often. Good work.
thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge in such a thorough, enlightening and entertaining manner.
Love both ancient architects and your channel of granite. Both using the same shared information, you haven't copied each other's approach explaining to the public making both your videos refreshing
The Moses who was trained in all the knowledge of ancient Egypt called the location of the pyramid as the border and center of Egypt
Watched both your video and Ancient Architects, and both excellent. Thank you.
Imho it looks as if the second sarcophagus was turned upside down and put in the excavation hole ( this would account for the discrepancy in depth ) in order that if anyone say the prince came along and re opened the excavation the bottom of the sarcophagus would appear to be a soild block therfore making it look like he was telling the truth this would also explain the large amount of rubble left over in the picture reportedly taken shortly after !
Thanks, you are a great detective, your precision is what is needed in further discoveries.
Another fascinating video. Thank you for continuing to make these.
I love the not so subtle derisiveness with which you always say "The Definitive History" always puts a smile on my face haha. Another great video 👊
I needed this today, feeling full of cold. Thanks very much!!!
This is a great channel, keep up the good work, your opinions are really interesting
I love you and your work. You and Matt are amazing. This is like my 7th watch through on this but I saw something new at 15:39. Regardless of what happened behind it, those right angles are polished and finished. But also undamaged, as if they knew where to dig
What great videos. Just when I thought everything had been said on the subject of ancient Egypt and Giza.....along come your videos to make us think again.....
I think you might be right with the sarcophagus theory. When looking at the niche with the tunnel visible, well, it look more like a tunnel than a sarcophagus. But on the old photos, half filled with sand and stones, it looks much more like a ( not fully excavated) sarcophagus than I expected. Since both reports you mentioned, were written during Vyse's excavation work in front of the niche, it is likely, that some debris would have been deposited inside the tunnel and after the backfill, left there.
As the report shown in the video describes how the writer crawled into the corridor until it became too narrow to advance (30 ft, if I remember correctly), I find that explanation unlikely.
Very nice video, thanks! Sarcophagus, from the Greek, means “flesh eating”, according to the American Heritage Dictionary. And when used in the context of a stone burial box, it means a type of stone that will hasten the decomposition of corpses. Roman historian Pliny the Elder says that the best sarcophagus stone in use in his day could “consume” a corpse in as little as 40 days. My guess is that reducing graveyard smell was the main motivation. Therefore, it does not necessarily refer to a box shaped stone object, but to any stone enclosure you’d put a dead body into. Egyptians, being obsessed with preserving the mortal remains, would naturally be repulsed by we moderns referring to their stone burial boxes as sarcophagi. So, and in line with your theory, your early 1800s dudes, being closer to the origins of the word “sarcophagus”, could have easily thought of both the box in the King’s chamber and the Queen’s chamber niche as sarcophagi. On the other hand, there may be some rich dude, even as I write this, smiling and gently patting the Queen’s chamber box-like sarcophagus in his secret lair. A Queen’s sarcophagus would naturally be smaller, because it’s for a female and would be of a size that could fit inside of the short original tunnel at the back of the niche and would not be elaborated upon too greatly by its discoverer since they, or parties soon after them, hauled it up and out in the dead of night to be sold on the black market.
I'd love to see your take on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings... they are fascinating too
20k likes from 1.6 Million views ?! That’s just sad ! You deserve so much more !
Another great analysis. Good work, can't wait for the next video.
Such refreshing intellect on pyramid info, love it.
"The sand could have been used to aid the moving of slabs -the slab sits on top of the sand -The sand is moved away and the slab lowers into place -apparently this was used under the Sphinx for the temples found there "
I love your content! Thank you for making more! :)
The objective analysis of this channel is stunningly good.
marvelous to have 2 enthusiastic youtuber researchers with there own specialties to draw on. Always enjoy your precise presentations, so i dont want to take your personality for granite.
What, wait, at 1:36 people carried tables and chairs up there!
I would have trouble carrying myself up to the top. But what a picnic that would of been, lucky ducks
I have never been there and all I have to compare the great Pyramid to is The Sydney Harbour bridge which I have been to the top of its mighty arch many times(for a while the biggest steel arch bridge in the world) and that is an engineering marvel to see from the top and I am mighty proud my fellow countryman built and about the same height as the great Pyramid and that huge stack of stone was built 45 centuries ago, so they tell us.
Amazing, stupendous just WOW
BTW, I have watched a lot of this stuff and this this perhaps the best presentation of all. You ask questions without answers and that is beauty of it.
Another thing. you mentioned around 2:42 that they are, in my words keeping things close to their chest.
Can you really blame them when over the centuries their heritage was plundered. The British Museum would be the last plunders.
Now I wait to be told that the Egyptians plundered from surrounding countries like Syria all those years ago.
Again an excellent analysis! Thank you for the effort you put into it. :)) There might be an additional explanation as to why the early explorers saw a sarcophagus in the structures. How boring is an empty queens chamber? So this structure has to be a sarcophagus for readers to be excited. We see the same principle in the media today. ;)
I've been waiting with bated breath for this episode!
Ah !, I'd forgotten that older explorers would have been using oil lamps/candles etc, we're so used to led flood lamps illuminating everything perfectly. Great point.
Ancient Architects is who recommended your wonderful channel.
Excellent and so informative.
When I look at it, I can almost see where a statue was. I can't prove a statue was there but I can easily imagine what it looked like if it was there. I just see how thin the space is top down. So doub crown, head, shoulders, sitting on throne, legs and a square base that prob had all his names and info. I def wish I could go back in time and take a look. I have a good feeling that the outside of the pyramid especially towards the bottom prob had a bunch of hieroglyphics on the casing stones explaining so many answers to questions we ask now. The Great Pyramid is my favorite thing on Earth.
There’s actually a lot of circumstantial evidence that a statue was not there. It looks like a nice place to put a statue, but it’s the exact opposite of how Egyptians used to place statuary around chambers.
Can't wait to see new episodes!
Much appreciated. Another excellent video.
The BEST Footage of the Pyramids I ever saw, Also VERY Interesting info Mate
Your Brother from Downunder
Peter
Excellent work, exciting to follow!
Pretty convinced Hawas is a real life cinematic villain; secreting away and gate keeping a great deal of Egypt’s history!!
Mat from ancient architects recommends you, so... 🖐 hello. Good stuff. I've liked what I've seen so far and expect to view more quality content as time moves forward. Thanks mate
Another great vid bro!!
Man, when you mentioned the sarcophagus lost at sea I remembered a scene of that from a movie I couldn't remember... it was "The Old Guard" with Charlize Theron, they slap someone in an iron maiden and toss her overboard to drown over and over again, yikes!!!!
This is great. I am just a novice or hobbyist, but I reall appreciate your chanel.
Random question here - Are there any conclusions that can be drawn from the necessary lighting needs to see and measure the interior. For everything so precisely assembled, I doubt it could happen by torch light... Some things we truly don't understand their precision until using very modern means of measurements.
Cheers bro, nice work!
Consider the kings chamber a burning room which can cause a vacuum in the rest of the pyramid. It has two vents from which you can expel the burnt fuel smoke and co2 or add more fuel as and when necessary. Consider the anti chamber and its adjustable granite door into the kings chamber as a means of controlling the vacuum in the rest of the pyramid. When the door is fully open and fuel is burned, the kings chamber is sucking the air out of grand gallery until a vacuum pressure exists. Consider the vacuum pressure enough to suck water up through the sub terrainian chamber, up the grand gallery and fills the queens chamber with water to the depth of the step. Consider that originally the design failed because water couldn't be sucked through the ascending passage and that design was plugged and the grotto shaft added which did work. Consider evidence of burning at the top of the grand galley in the form of two inches of carbon crud which was removed by the Egyptian state about ten years ago. Also consider soot removed from the kings chamber and anti chamber over a hundred years ago, Consider the ammonia salt deposits removed from the queens chamber passage walls by the Egyptian state more than ten years ago, in some places several inches thick and a constant smell of ammonia from within those salts indicating the presence of past chemical reactions.
Consider asking yourself why the Egyptian state physically removed contemporary historical evidence from within a protected ancient monument. Consider why it was allowed.
Until you know those answers, you'll never know what you are truely looking at because you only have half of the story.
interesting analysis. Thanks for sharing
Great video. Well done Sir
What I find intriguing is that the niche is offset from the roof center, quite bizarre for the love of symmetry that the pyramid builders usually show... It is also bizarre that the King chamber is also offset of the pyramid center, is this part of a pattern?
The pyramids are monuments to symmetry, and so every break in symmetry is worth thinking about. Some of these breaks definitely reveal intent. But some like the Niche are more difficult to analyze because there is nothing to compare them to.
I bet that the niche in the Queen’s chamber have the same offset from the room center that the King’s chamber’s offset from the pyramid center. I bet that those offset have the same meaning, they're related.
eagerly waiting for this.
to watch repeatedly.
Excellent. Keep up the good work. Bought one of your sweatshirts.
Sure would like to hear your thoughts on The Queens Chamber, sand and other anomalies/finds your saving for a future presentation. Perhaps you may leave add that to the heading of your future disclosures (?).
Thanks man
Thanks for sharing your research! I look forward to your videos and am impressed with your work. I can’t remember what you thought the pyramids were built for and why the great pyramid has so many mathematical and scientific formulas built in? How old do you think Giza is? I love listening and learning what serious researchers think they are, when, and who built them. Looking forward to your next video! ⚡️🌎⚡️🐄🌔🌎⚡️
When you build something, everything is mathematical, for example to build a roof, I buy wood in four metters, but I have not so much choice to cut the wood, if I want two equal parts that's make 2 meters, four, 1 meter, but three parts makes 1.33 meter to have no loss. So you have the roof chosen in a way having no loss and you find always consequences of trigonometry, and of the initial choices you have made.an other example for angles, cycle is 360 degrees, the number of days in a year 12 x 30 days, in assyrian calendar, so this makes a link between days and angle. ''time is an angle'' as says an Astrophysicist friend .

Best. Channel. Ever.
EXCELENTES FOTOS DA ANTIGUIDADE DAS PIRAMIDES......
Extremely interesting, thank you.
... 0:49 ... this view, pyramid bottom left, these people and sun on horizon, unbelievable iam .. dunno for word for that, more than stunned
I've recently found your channel and I am binge watching. I have no prior knowledge other than the basics I were taught in school so all this is new to me. I didn't know there were discussions about coffins and such the only thing I've been hearing about now and then is about ramps. My only question about your conclusion is that he wrote that the coffin was open and empty. If he had seen a closed coffin it would fit your conclusion but could he really misstake that niche stone for an open and empty coffin?
You could also conclude that European catacombs might have influenced an explorer's idea of what a sarcophagus was. Grave niches underground would not have been an unusual practice in their minds and the niche tunnel in the Queen's Chamber could have been seen as a similar style to other examples in Europe.
"Left of the entrance, at the eastern wall, mostly inside the same, stands the somewhat smaller coffin made from marble, open, empty, simple." I somehow doubt he'd have used "stands" and "coffin" if he was talking about a burial shelf.
Absolutely Utterly Fascinating
Excellent analysis, as usual! Thank you for the time and efforts you put into these videos, in order that we don't take our history of granite lightly!! :)
@12:26 there is a picture of the niche (left side) and an adjacent wall, (right of niche), at the cornering wall. It has a chunk of rock etched out of it. Were there "facing" stones lining the walls of the chamber, and one was removed, or is it a section of stone block randomly burrowed into, to a depth of 4-5 inches?? Have not seen any description, or discussion of this interesting anomaly in that area. Perhaps it is nothing..??
It's exploratory chiseling, I can't recall if a source for that damage is documented.
The story of the Queens Chamber sarcofacus validate the modern psycological explanation of the working of the mind when we look at stuff. If we expect to see something it may well show up and other stuff won't be registred - which is also why when making a search for something or somebody have the search team walk the same area from opposite directions. You see something else when doing the second walk. ;)
Thank you for sharing some great information and research. Do you know if there has been any translations of the hieroglyphs that are inscribed on the top face of the exposed blocks that are visible at the top of the Great Pyramid ? I saw a short video of someone hang gliding over the top of the pyramid and the camera clearly captures those hieroglyphs, I tried searching for any further information but I have had no luck so far. Thank you again 🙏
Fascinating information 🙂
Excellent discussion 👍
Great work!
luv your work!!
Not only the construction of the pyramids makes me wonder, but also the associated side processes. You have to wonder about the stone cutting techniques, the mathematics that went into the project, the interior lighting needed at the time, the actual psychology of the designers, as well as many more side fields that would have needed be to brought to bare to realise the project. These people knew a lot of ‘science’ and would have had it all over other societies of the time. Yet it was all lost. Something we should take note of.
Niche better rhyme with quiche when it's pronounced 😁. Kidding aside, looking forward to watching this. Your videos are top notch.
Ha! I don’t know why I flubbed it last time. I think it’s the connotation with the word ‘notch’.
Fantastic thanks man very interesting 👍
...the secrets of Egypt have long been stripped away, however, a clue to their original function lay in the similar, more modern skeletal remains of abandoned foundries and power plants...
The pyramid roof appearing at 0:36 is displaying a sag caused by erosion and even by missing stones, those that have fallen down to the ground. This falling stone phenomenon should be taken seriously as stones might fall en masse sooner or later and tourists might be hurt.
That Kings chamber "sarcophagus" sure has taken a weird beating.
