Oh man, wish I’d seen this before I built my first pyramid.
ahahahahah
tick ...
what a crap, all knows pyramids was built by the aliens )))
I could see an Ancient Egyptian watching this and being like ""damn, why didnt we think of this?"
jeenyus720 No they'd think "No this is stupid. 9,600,000 liters of water is needed for the base alone, an 2,000 more liters every hour from evaporation. 10 years to construct a canal for just 6% of the stones? (94% of the stones were from the Gaza Plateau itself). The water would stagnate and become a giant puddle of disease ridden mosquito infected filth. And there's no way to make pipe door and compartments that are both *air* tight and easy enough to open, and there's no way to fix this if just one part of the pipe springs a leak/blockage/stuck doors."
ParallelPain
^I'm inclined to side with you on this one. I can imagine huge issues with blockages within the tunnels as well.
ParallelPain: on the other hand it would be much easier, than to drag all those stones from ships to the construction site. Not to forget that it's more than 40 degree in egypt for quite some months. Slaves would probably be able to pull of that tough work for a week, than get ill or die of exhaustion. The egypts had the best architects in the world, pretty sure they've figured out a smart way to filter the water somehow like the romans were doing with their aqueducts.
Der Dudelino The Pyramids were not built by slaves. It's a common myth.
Der Dudelino
Building a path for water is A LOT easier than making an air tight compartment door that can be opened easily. Which we have no evidence of anyone figuring out how to do before modern materials and engineering because it's downright impossible.
And dragging the blocks using pulley/lever/rollers plus wetting the sand is far simpler than any of this. And requires less labor than digging a canal and then constructing that stone pipping. And we actually have pictorial evidence for it.
The waterway system is considerably more complicated than the actual pyramid. It's like building a computer to control your toaster.

@@Lamster66 This is not even about building the pyramids, its just basic physics, just because an idea sounds good, doesnt mean it is.
Exactly
Men of culture, usually we meet under different kind of videos but today we are united in our interest in pyramid engineering.
While this seems perhaps plausible at a first glance, just consider this. Floating a block up the shaft comes with a price: an equal amount of water (by weight) travels down the shaft. Consequently, the weight of water that would need to be carried up to the top of the "water shaft" to replace the water travelling down+ leakage etc. would exceed the weight of the blocks being lifted. So, the manual work would actually increase; it is not easier to carry 2 tons of water than it is to carry 2 tons of rock up the pyramid. Not counting the need to carry floatation down the pyramid, work to build and maintain all the complicated shafts.. And working in murky, mosquito-infested water all day till your hands dissolve is not such a great working environment as this video would like it to be. Chiselling stone under water? Hmm.
You are right, but it is certainly easier to carry 2 tonnes of water than to carry one, 2 tonne block.
@@alde1611 You must be the type of person that when asked "what is heavier, a ton of steal or a ton of feathers?" answers confidently "a ton of steal".
@@vivazapata123 From scientific work load point of view they are equal, they take the same energy to move. That doesn't mean its easier. Everything is easy on paper. I tell you to move a 2000 pound block of steel 100 feet or 100x20 pounds of steel the same distance just using your hands and see which one gets done first.
Imagine cutting block in river water not to mention all the excess material coming off the blocks. Does someone swim down there and remove all the scrap ?
You forget the fact that they were doing this for more than a couple of decades. It was a main part of their sustainability
Excellent video, great graphics and totally explains the theory !
Don't believe a word of it, but I enjoyed watching it !

Agree, the water around the pyramid would not be flowing and would quickly become stagnant especially with all of those bodies inside, carrying many pathogens, along with fertile breeding for billions upon billions of disease carrying mosquitos. The workforce would be decimated in a fortnight. Now if the pyramid wasn't built on a plateau and part of a river had been diverted into a canal then it would seem plausible.
@@darkambience But isnt the water continuously being refreshed by the high pressure tunnels in the pyramids?
@@darkambience the water doesnt have to be flowing. do you still float in a pool? does a pool have "flowing" water?
I really enjoy how loosely the term "easily" is tossed around 😀
Like most things in life... It's all relative.
@@douglasfarwell6379 The guys who did this weren't using aqualungs or gills so Oldmanpower had the job.
It's so easy to build an ancient water tight elevator system 500 feet above ground, but listen to him bend over backwards when describing the difficulty of dirt ramps.
this principle he talks about is taught to 5th graders
The engineering behind this 5,000 years ago is truly amazing
Very clever theory. One would think that something this novel would have warranted a hieroglyph or painting somewhere along the lines.
The water lift would be a more impressive engineering project than the pyramid itself.
Yes, that's why it's Xxxxxx.
I have always said don't use a smart guy to design stuff, use the lazy guy as he will get it done the easiest way. This looks to be the smart guys idea.
Not from their perspective if it was something they did for other things as well. No matter how they did it, they left no instructions for any of the structures to include the pyramids. The Egyptians were so attached to the Nile that they felt sorry for other civilizations that had to wait for the 'Nile in the Sky' to grow crops. Whatever the method, it was something mundane and didn't seem worth noting for future generations. Look at the Mult-Station Modem chip in the cell phones used around the world today, just 100 years ago, it would have been the most amazing thing ever heard of and would have taken a massive infrastructure to make that is now, although specialized to be sure, normal to manufacture. The pyramids are so old, that even the Roman Republic would have been looking at them the way we look at the Roman Republic today. To move massive stones, the Romans would use gigantic wheels with the stones themselves being the axle that is ingeniously simple when you think about it as these are stones that are 100s of tons. However the Egyptians built their structures, like many other things, they just didn't seem to think it was that important to document in any fashion.
It's absurd..
@@jammcguire1276 I can confirm that it wasn’t built using a water shaft elevator, anyone saying “yeah plausible” in the comment section are thick as dog s*it there’s no nice way to put it
Using this theory, I feel like building the pyramid was the easy part. Building a vertical air tight water tunnel is much easier said than done. Currently the deepest pool in the world is roughly 200ft. Now try doing that above ground 500ft, and make some doorways to hold in the water pressure. 😂
They didn't have to do that.
Drain the water after each level. Fill with sand, replace watertight floor and flood. Repeat for each level.
maintaining millions of gallons of water held tight is much too hard,. Another challenge is pumping water high above.
Easy one! just make the distance of each doorways not to far (50ft or so), so each doorways can still hold the
water pressure of each section. and use pulley to open and close the doorways.
Not need to be 100% air tight just water tight, leak a little here and there are acceptable.
The water which is reduced due to leak can be refilled with bucket, rope, pulley, and brute force (they have thousands of slave there..)
just my speculation, not an expert...
LOL Only the amount of water in the rising pipe would be enough to make it explode. Tons and tons of water. The first infiltration will dig the way for the tube to collapse.
True. So they're saying they couldn't build wheels but could make such shafts to lift 1-1.5 ton stone blocks. far-fetched.
Finally a more logical explanation of how the pyramids were built... And blocks were carved with precision.... It's something I've often thought about for years and seemed the most plausible.....
It is not logical at all. The pressure on the bottom gate would be enormous. What material would be used to make it and how would the gate be held in place?
I love the theory and the videos! I especially love the demonstration of the working water elevator, it made me think about ways to use this idea for a modern invention or two… I can see how floating the blocks could and maybe even did work to get the blocks to the building site, but; Unfortunately, it seems to me, there are lot of challenges to overcome for this system to really work. Just to mention one, how could they have efficiently pumped that much water up to the top of the pyramid? The other elephant in the room is the problems of constructing a leak proof and strong enough water tube… still I really do love the idea, super creative and inventive. Great food for thought. Thanks for all the time and work you’ve put in to this. I really think you could apply this idea to present day needs and make big money…
Show me one 80 ton limestone block floating on cedar wood and air filled hides, and I won't ask any more questions ..
remind u the weight could be differ based on the hardness limestone gets hard when its contacted with co2 so they kept it in water and polish out

You can make anything float. info from below comment
@The Amazingly Randy but you would need a fucking ocean, in other words, you would have to flood the whole fucking area to create enough pressure to make something that heavy float.
@@RayWilliamJohansen I believe you have missed the point sir, but that's ok. Let's not forget about the Nile being much, much closer to the pyramids in ancient times.
@@Grrtt4570 Fair enough but a river is flowing and I am still unconvinced as to how feasible this would have been, give a number of things, working with heavy objects, in water, all of that seems nice but most likely not practical.

FASCINATING! Even if we dont know how any pyramid was made. Simply fascinating!
Thanks, man for this step by step guide now I am going to build my own Pyramid.
1. There are not a lot of bronzes unearthed in Egypt. The latest archeology proves that they were built by construction workers, not slaves. Slaves can eat high-quality beef and can be buried near the pyramids. 2. There is no history of bronze wares in Europe, only a very small amount of bronze is fished out of the water or bought from the antique market, so it is impossible to measure carbon 14 (compared with Sanxingdui in China to see what bronze wares can be measured by carbon 14) 3. There is no such thing in Europe Astronomical calendar (there are many observatory sites in China, there are no such sites in Europe, and it takes hundreds or thousands of years of continuous observation, calculation, and accumulation to have a calendar) 4. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, and China has unified weights and measures for more than 2,000 years. Many instruments related to measurement have been unearthed in China. There is no unified weights and measures in Europe, so where does advanced arithmetic come from? History cannot be recorded until there has been no change for thousands of years. For the above points, can anyone overthrow it? If it cannot be overthrown, then ancient Babylon (someone obtained a cuneiform dictionary and translated clay tablets?), ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece are all false. Ancient Rome was a very small place not a great empire, let alone a civilization. If you look at the technology of the Song Dynasty in China and the Sanxingdui site, you will know the reason. Note that the first steam engine-driven car was also in China, but it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty, the creator of civilization, was stolen by barbarian Manchus and European missionaries, and rewritten the real history. 6. If Babylonian civilization is as great as described in textbooks, why is writing still written on clay tablets? Why not use noble sheepskin? 7. There is no such a grammatical dictionary for cuneiform, which can allow ordinary people to translate these clay tablets into modern characters. If there is no such dictionary, then they can make fakes at will.

very compelling theory indeed. it sparks the imagination regarding the use of aquatics.

That was completely amazing , I like this theory ... the next crazy part to figure out is how, how did they get the pyramids in perfect alignment with the cardinal directions ( N , E , S & W ) . TY very much for the movie, I will be looking for the book, again to for sharing.

MY GUESS IS THAT THEY STARTED AT THE BOTTOM AND WORKED THEIR WAY TO THE TOP !!
No. They certainly started stacking from the top down.
This is exactly how they have done it , the difference is that they didn't need to quarry the stones and transfer them in place , they did something far more efficient and intelligent , they used molds and the land provided all the ingredients needed to mix with water and create artificial stones with something similar to what we call concrete .

One only needs to witness the operation of locking sluice gates in a major canal to see the power of hydraulics. Many ancient civilizations used them for aqueducts, harbours, irrigation, public baths and other building projects. The interior chambers are a massively scaled gravity fed hydraulic ram pump. Best theory yet.
thank you so much🙏🙏the blocks on mine lately were so hard to solidify, now mine are perfect 👍
Rectangular water shafts - horrible idea from an engineering perspective. They would not be able to sustain the pressure, nevermind having a number of water-tight gates with perfect seals. The height would produce a strong vacuum near the top of the tube. Managing pressure distribution would be impossible. Even the demo plexiglass tubes don't deal with actual heights and volumes of water involved. It's easy to calculate what kind of stress water would produce at 42 floors if taken up a pipe. Additionally, there would be no way to quickly extract the ropes from under the stones perfectly every time, while having the stones fit with laser precision. There'd be ropes stuck between and under stones everywhere, yet we find nothing between the stones. Water buoyancy, is a good theory, however for transporting stones to the pyramid base. It would explain why the structure had to be lowered by 8m, as if to contain something. I think this system works to the lowest level, but then stones are taken up differently. Where are the id markings? The stones aren't random but strategically placed. What about granite portions? Were those floated too? Even in the pictures provided in the video, the workers are shown near the tops of the stones, implying they could've delivered them and worked on them while the stones were still submerged. That's a silly assumption, considering where the stone would be relative to the water surface if the floats were attached. Each stone would be more than 1m below the surface. Good luck working a block that deep. And if the rope snaps, how do you reattach it? How do you troubleshoot, when everything's submerged? It makes the technique more sophisticated than the problem it's trying to solve.
its perfect idea to reduce cranes cost, a lot of opening shafts available in the towers they can use, just fill it by water and close from the top and use gates
Certainly doesn't explain the stones in the king chamber or in the channel leading up, but definitely water shafts and canals a better theory than the leading egyptologist ramp dragging theory smh
On a 13 acre land base,to keep true with 8 sides,would of utilized a large central tower of block ,not only to keep true center up,but as a hoist to lift each block.To prove is a central core, I thought when kid climbed to top,he could of got GPS mark but then to check inside signal wont go through the block to prove.Once they got up halfway,easy enough to stand another long tall block for rest of lift crane.With a rope and mathematical measurements ,could math out to still keep true by measuring in a circle around existing structure from center.(rope length from central tower\Axis).Easy enough manner to constantly assure of true because first run was around extruded mound they had "X-ed" out from jump street already in the block bed.
Couldn't agree more, well said.
I was thinking the same thing... how the hall would they have such good water seals at that time.
Thanks for the Tutorial, can't wait to try building my own Pyramids of Egypt tomorrow.

As far as I know the base block are made of granite stone which is one of the hardest we can nowadays cut it only with diamond saw or laser tech. The the surface is made of lime stone to have the white and smooth appearance.
well, you dont know very far dont you
Love it. It's all very plausible. Missing one major fact though right from the beginning.. the blocks were granite, not limestone
The pyramids are not made of granite
To be honest, I'd rather believe that aliens built them.
***** yah we know you would dummy
***** Why?
Jackmono1 Is is REALLY that far fetched? I think the idea of Alien visitations in the past makes almost more sense than aliens visiting in the modern human era. I think they would rather be intervening when human society is still rather young and in an age where alien visitations would be regarded as "gods" visiting Earth, rather than today, when we have knowledge of potential other worlds and the idea of extraterrestrial civilizations, which combined with our much larger, more communicationaly savvy populace (internet/phones) could cause mass panic.
***** it is- because that tv show leaves out tons of important details. How did they cut stone? they used a flat copper 'saw' and sprinkled sand on top of the block and grinded it away with the saw+sand. This has been demonstrated.
If you look up Houdins hypothesis of how the pyramids were built its not that out of the way for what the egyptians were already doing. Internal Ramp, the grand gallery was a counterweight system. Theres evidence inside the grand gallery for that(friction marks and worn away stone at stress points)
Personally, while alien visitation is of course always possible, I think its insulting to our ancestors to think that they couldnt POSSIBLY have constructed these monuments without outside help. And figuring out the simple methods that were used give you a new appreciation of how brilliant some of them were.
***** For the small minded that's indeed far fetched. Yet, Lord Of the Rings was sooooooo real.

Gates can be on the side ways, easy to be pulled by animals. It is possible to make it airtight by taking care of the leakage, where they are pulling it. small leakages will not be a big problem.

You know something a lot of people probably haven't thought about... Did they have sunscreen? Because I'm not sure how many of you know this, but being in water for an extended period of time, the sun reflects off the water and it burns you way quicker than just being in the sun. (Does that sentence make sense? lol) They mentioned in this that the water would be refreshing for them in the hot sun, but they don't realize the fact that you get sunburned easy if you're in the water for a long time. It could even happen in a day... I only know this because when I was a kid I went swimming at our apartment pool literally all day one day, didn't think of sunscreen at all cuz I was like 8, and that night I was so sunburned I got melted to my bed sheets... :0
When you grow up in a very hot country your body is a lot more used to the sun and coconut oil is good for the skin
Remember, just because YOU couldn't build the pyramids, doesn't mean someone else can't.
Ingenious yet simple methods made this possible. Egypt had the world's greatest thinkers at the time.
This is beautifully thought-through and illustrated and would work very nicely if they had access to giant-sized plastic tubing, and the mass of the planet was lowered, to diminish the force of gravity. Water is heavy stuff - the elevator-aqueduct is a lovely idea but trying to contain a column of water in a brick elevator shaft up even a very modest height, never mind the pyramids, would be effectively impossible. The outward pressure on the structure would be huge, and it would be in tension where any masonry structure is all but useless. The pressure on the magically sealed gates would be huge even for a single section and the seal would have to be absolute and airtight, both at the gate and through the stones and mortar - if any part of the shaft breathed even a little there would be constant loss of water. There would be a huge daily loss of water simply to evaporation, and all of the losses would have to be carried up the growing pyramid. It's impossible in oh so many ways but it's a beautiful conception.
+murfleblurg
Not to mention the more than likely chance for the floatation attachments to break or be punctioned on both the shaft walls and gates due to the enormous inertia of it's load.
I don't think that evidence or traces have been found of any large quantities of water nor waterbasins, either.
Ever seen an aqueduct?
A cubic foot of water weighs 62 pounds, an eight foot square of it would weigh in at around 4000 pounds. A fifty foot column 200,000 pounds. Even half of that, at 25 feet and 100,000 pounds, would destroy a primitive gate system.
Yes they had primitive tools. The construction of the pyramids is still debated because of what we know of their primitive tools.
8 meters of water is 50000kg, that means every single 8 meters! Not the full height, but the pressure on each and every gates.
Now if your gates is made of wood, it needs to be huge to not crack under that pressure, and bigger it is harder it is to move it.
The video just shows an innovative idea, but it never happened like that.

You misspelled *guess
@CemtecUk Idiot.
I do love how people will find aliens as a plausible solution, but waterways... that is just plain crazy!
MsSomeonenew Theres a lot of but hurt people. This man has clearly solved the worlds greatest mystery.
There is a hieroglyphic showing how they built these objects. It showed a statue on a sled with many people pulling it with a rope and another person pouring water on the sand in front of the sled. They tested it out and it worked. Most likely you aren't going to find a detailed hieroglyph of how to build the pyramids because it has either deteriorated or it was a skill they didn't want advertised everywhere as it was limited to kings. It was probably on long gone scrolls or tablets.
If 10000 years from now people invent anti-gravity fields and the engineering knowledge of mechanical cranes are long gone there will be people saying "there's no way they built those sky skyscapers without the help of aliens because anti-gravity fields weren't invented yet!"
Just because we don't know the details doesn't mean it's impossible. People are too quick to underestimate then ingenuity of human beings and also rely to much on what "facts" we know about history.
Also you're "Orion's Belt" correlation was proven false. In the original book by Bauval and Gilbert called "The Orion Mystery" the map they show of the pyramids was an inverted image. Because in reality the middle pyramid deviates to much north to line up with the belt. But when the image is inverted (so it is now south) then it lines up. Along with the fact that due to planetary precision the positions on Orion's Belt in the sky was in a different area 10,000 years ago. Just like how everyone's astrological sign is actually one ahead of what they think due to the rotation of the earth's axis over the course of 1000's of years.
Of course no one wants to talk about that because it's not as interesting, so it gets lost as a foot note. Just like Christopher Columbus wasn't the first European in America, the Vikings had been visited here long before him. And people believing that ancient countries were all isolated from each other when in fact they all had trade lines to some degree.
This is the problem with conspiracy theorists. They believe something, then go and try to find any evidence that justifies their claims while dismissing any that don't. REAL science is just being open minded and willing to accept we just don't know something yet, not just filling in the blanks with "aliens" or "God" and then calling it a day.
Kavan Cheff I'm in the construction industry and I can honestly say the system in this video is way more efficient than most of the stuff we have today, assuming there is an abundance of water and little other traffic which is clearly not a privilege you have today. You should be railing in the intelligence, resourcefulness, ingenuity and sophistication of the Egyptians not having a sulk because it's not built by aliens from delta 9.
+Kavan Cheff So form what source you get your opinion about Pyramids? I'm not ttrying to debate, I have no idea about this stuff, I'm just curious to understand your point of view, any link that can be trust if you have I would be happy to look at it, with a neutral and unbiased view.
Well done, this is most likely hypothesis I’ve ever heard and I’ll check out the book
Interestingly enough there is a theory, quite widely held, that the great pyramid was never a tomb but was a1) a giant “plant” to generate electricity by resonance. The Earth’s resonance was utilised using the water beneath a la Tesla
2) a giant battery to make electricity roped up by pouring suitable liquids down the shafts. The grand gallery having parts in it to help the process
The causeway was part of the setup for the pharaoh resuscitation so that he could use his boat back into the Nile. The water lift is unimaginable for the culture level of this ancient civilisation, notwithstanding the numerous pictorial and bass-relief evidence left by the Egyptians dragging the blocks with men and ox and not floating them. But I do like the idea.
"The water lift is unimaginable for the culture level of this ancient civilisation" Although I agree with your point that there is no pictorial evidence to suggest this method being utilized, I disagree that the Egyptians were incapable of constructing such a lift. They had full knowledge of building water-tight boats which would have just as easily been applied to stonework. And they were capable of building a structure as massive as the Great Pyramid with 20+ ton blocks of stone in such a way that a credit card (and in some places, a sheet of paper) cannot be inserted into the gaps. So this engineering feat was not out of their range of building. Actually, the water building method would explain the tightness of the stones a lot better than if you expect me to believe they were manually moved that close together. It is a very interesting concept, to say the least...
G get cu and a Ustinov .my BB u you to
You just made that up! There are no pictures of them building pyramids that’s the problem we’re left with. Secondly they were evidently highly skilled builders and experts with irrigation.

@lol bad kid Wtf do you know about it? Did you not see the explanations and scale models?
Explain how it's not plausible without resorting to your own personal incredulity.
he claims the pyramids are from 4,500 b.c., which is false, weathering and further excavation of the sphynx puts it roughtly at 30,000 bc, as it can clearly be seen by archeologists the numerous stages of erosion,
furthermore, using a water based walkway seems feasible, but that only makes sense for the 6 pyramids around giza, what about the 20 or so other pyramids scattered across egypt? they werent built next to the nile, and there isnt evidence of aquaducts sprawling across the entire country, which the egyptians didnt even invent, the romans did, and is recorded as a technological marvel, but apparently the egyptians invented it first?
then the claim of each 2 ton block is hand carved? bullshit, each block is precise, you cant even squeeze a bank card through the gaps, and each block is practically perfect, you simply could not acheive this with handheld tools, least of all copper ones, least of all for over 2 million individual blocks, all hand carved and perfect? sorry but you'd have to be an idiot to buy that, why? because how are they getting perfect moulds? thats a catch 22, "the egyptians were able to make perfect casts of stone blocks, by making these perfect moulds" it doesnt explain anything and just adds a rabbit hole thesis
as for the comparison of how boats float vs how these stones are supposedly floating, well if you know anything about buoyancy then you would understand that it recquires alot more than just strapping a load of air filled containers onto an object to make it float, boats float due to their shape and material, the underneath of a boat is arched in a very specific way, the stone blocks are not curved, thus the laws of buonancy falls short, due to a lack of structrural support, if you've ever done team building exercises at the seeside, then you'll know that strapping a bunch of plastic drums to some shit doesnt make for a very good raft, it'll kinda work but you'll keep submerging briefly, now change a few people for a 2 ton stone block and you have a better insight, as its depicted that the stone blocks have a flat bottom in this video, meaning they simply wouldnt be buoyant at all, and only the floats support the structure, but air alone isnt going to counter the forces tht are pulling that stone down as thats only what could happen given the video's diagrams, air vs gravity on a ton block, theres alot more in physics to help something float that ive already expressed,

Woah, easy there with the aqueducts! There's a big difference between an aqueduct and a small canal! Aqueducts span from mountain tops over miles and miles, over any terrain, and is elevated. Aqueducts are A LOT HARDER to build than a simple causeway that doesn't start up in mountains, isn't very long and is not elevated. Please don't pretend like they're the same challenge.

3b: ''"then the claim of each 2 ton block is hand carved? bullshit''
Your own personal incredulity. Of course you can do perfect blocks by hand. Of course the Egyptians had protractors. And the video explains how they could use the water as a level too.
''because how are they getting perfect moulds''
Yeah they had protractors. It's actually very simple.
4: ''as for the comparison of how boats float vs how these stones are supposedly floating, well if you know anything about buoyancy then you would understand that it recquires alot more than just strapping a load of air filled containers onto an object to make it float''
Baby floaters? WTF seriously? How can you even say something so demonstrably wrong?
''the underneath of a boat is arched in a very specific way,''
1: There is more than one way to make something float so even though the thing looks nothing like a boat, that doesn't mean it doesn't float just because of that.
2: The angles of a boat hull isn't even for floating! These angles serve as hydrodynamics + stabilizers so that the boat stays upright and can go forward without too much drag.
You're all wrong on this boat thing.
None of your objections hold any water. ;)
@@jonathanallard2128 There's no arguing against ignorance who wants to remain ignorant.
The blocks where baked. They discovered a better way of concocting concrete than what we currently have in present day. They mixed all the different material together and poured each block followed by baking it, then they used a device to cool it down by blowing into it.
That explains the candles they found at the top.
How does this theory of water lifting shafts fit in with John Pierre Houdins Internal Ramp theory? Were they both used at the same time, same location?
Well,there are theories out there that are more batshit crazy than this one.
Trond Tangen Agreed just read above half the people here reckon Aliens or Atlantis built them!
Trond Tangen This one isn't even crazy, it is based on very reasonable principles, using the available materials of the time. I have to say the first time I heard this I found it instantly more sensible than the idea of building massive ramps or other such structures.
@@laughingachilles This one is simply stupid. Go and build functional water elevator alone with ancient technology.
@Dawid
Alone? I think I would need quite a few people and the spare time of course.
It's really not that stupid as all one needs is a sealed shaft and they had clay and other waterproof and viscous materials which would be suitable for that.
Then you need some sort of float device, inflated goats bladders or skins would be suitable and as these have been used by many peoples for transporting water it hardly seems likely the Egyptians didn't see that possible use for them.
Remember how ingenious these people were. They built canals up to the pyramid in order to pull barges carrying the quarried stone close to the pyramid rather than pulling it along on sand. Of course the final part was pulled on sand but even then they wet the sand to make pulling the sleds easier.
I wouldn't dismiss the idea out of hand just because they were an ancient people. They were smart and dedicated, this can achieve a lot even with technology we today would consider primitive.
It would help to have a life size demonstration of floating one of the blocks.
+Chris Coombes It would cost a lot to do it unless the world governments don't make a common effort is not really possible.
See 5:51 lol
Nick Cornelius yes!!
@Think4yourself ForOnce You're comparing the floating element of the 1st (Hulled ship) with the cargo of the second (piece of stone). lol That's where your mistake is. A more honest comparison would be: ''A Hulled ship vs floating materials'' or ''a fuckton of cargo vs a solid piece of stone''. As you see, when put this way, you can start understanding why the analogy with the ship works...
@Think4yourself ForOnce Let me try again.
Hulled ship (floating mechanism) + a fuckton of cargo (cargo) = cargo ship. cargo ships float.
Floating materials as explained in the video (floating mechanism) + a solid piece of stone (cargo) = also floats.
You comparing the hulled ship (floating mechanism) of the first object, with the solid piece of stone (the cargo) of the second, was a dishonest analogy, if your point is that therefore the second can't float.
You see it now? ;)
I would love to see a actual full scale experiment not talking about building a entire Pyramid but lifting even a 1 ton block and stacking em
Is the water level when shaping limestone topped constantly. Cuz every time the guys get out of the water they will be removing around a litre of water with the wet hair and clothing so over a period of time the water level will drop causing later blocks not being carved to same dimensions as previous ones.
the fact that every time the stone is struck while under water slashes and waves are produced, not even considering the movements of the workers by it´s self throws this ides into the dump. amazing all the effort that went into this production but zero thought.

This theory was worth 8 million views. I doubt the Pyramids were built this way, but I think his bank account was. Kudos
I think the real conspiracy theory is that with our modern technology we somehow can’t figure out how they built the pyramids.
When you factor in how half of modern-day Egypt’s economy is dependent on tourism, it creates an incentive to preserve the mystique of ancient Egypt.
The biggest reason I visited Egypt with my family was because of this idea of adventure or discovery beyond what I fully understand. Everyone successful tied to the tourism industry was extremely quick witted and knew what tourists were drawn to get them to spend their money.
The reality is modern-day Egypt is a struggling nation that is trying to milk the mysteries of the past empires to get rich tourists to boost their current economy. Which is why, even if we solve these “mysteries”, there is no way the (somewhat shady/ self-serving) Egyptian government would ever reveal these truths to protect their tourism industry. I don’t think this is a bad thing. I actually loved the experience of visiting Egypt and feeling like a kid again, where there is so much you don’t know.
In order to maintain a water level at atmospheric pressure at the top of the pyramid, the water pressure at the base of the pyramid would be about 194psi. Assuming the gates at the bottom were about 6' square, there would be over 1 million pounds of force pushing against the entire gate just to hold the water in.
man, this theory makes sense to me. He is right, there is no evidence of a ramp being used. A water system like this could be broken down and you wouldn't need that large work force to create a ramp and use rollers to drag the stones up the pyramid. you could focus your workers on the quarry shaping the stones. Very interesting theory, im impressed.
There is evidence of ramp being used: an internal ramp. This floating theory is even stupider than theories about aliens building the pyramids.
@@sunpallinkarvat Ramp systems would all take far more time to construct and move blocks, whereas this system simplifies the movement completely. It actually makes a lot more sense than any of the other theories I have seen. Additionally, it will guarantee that the pyramid stays level for every single level being added on. My only issue is building the covered causeways so that they are airtight, or very near airtight, to minimize leakage and allow the buoyancy movement to happen.
@@DrAGGill Internal ramp does not take any more time to construct. It fact it decreases the building time because you can leave empty space inside the pyramid.

The arm of the resistant force "F2 = Gt (tangential component of the weight of the stone block) + Ff (the frictional force given by the weight of the stone block on the sled") is b2 = 1 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.

So the most literate, obsessive record keepers of their time, didn't leave a single document describing this method of building. Oooookay.
M C i personally think they did but it was either destroyed or accidentally ruined or maybe its still hanging around somewhere
Ephemera is always the first to vanish from history...
They didn't leave any documentation though so what's your point?
Yes, the most literate, obsessive record keepers of their time, didn't leave a single document describing this method of building.
This information has been lost to time as has happened countless times with other technologies. We're barely scratching the surface of how they were able to build these pyramids.
Edit: Look up what happened at the Library of Alexandria, there was lots of knowledge there.
Ever heard of the library of Alexandria?
this hypothesis seems unlikely. The most obvious problem I can think of right now: how do you work stone underwater? Try swinging a hammer underwater. Try seeing anything in dirty water (and this water would have been dirty). So basically these people would have had to be precise and efficient while standing in chest high water and not able to see what they were doing?
TheNinerion Didn't he say that they only worked the top surface of the stone by making it level with the water? I would worry more about waves making it hard to tell where the water level was than about the water being too dirty to see.
EDIT: I would also worry about the inevitable blooms of algae and the huge amount of evaporation that would take place in the desert.
TheNinerion they chiseled and shaped the stone above water/ in shallow water. It was mostly just used for transporting them afterwards
TheNinerion They could have people skimming the water. the stone would be more soft in the water.
TheNinerion they prob worked in a gentle running stream. Anything dirty would just be pushed out
Jacno77 ok, that opens up the question: "where did the gentle running stream come from?" these pyramids are on a plateau in the desert next to the nile... how?!
The water hypothesis is cool and maybe even workable and efficient, but is there any evidence for this actually happening? It seems rather unsupported.
I really like this theory, even if the pyramids were not built this way, it's a very cleaver way to elevate objets from one level to another using buoyancy. Thumbs up!
And to establish a 'level' for the base.
I would say the pressure in the stone tubes would be extremely high and would explode as the height increases.
Really good theory.My big question is how did the make a good enough seal on the gates? Those gates would have to water tight or nearly water tight in order to work.
Now I know humans have been able to make water tight objects for millenia. But I can't think of any objects that can be contained water tight movable parts before the 1800s. Humans pulled it off with a combination of percise, strong, and form fitting components, special lubricants, and rubber.
TC Coltharp Given the spring, they wouldn't need to be water tight. They just need to reduce the flow significantly
TC Coltharp
They didn't have to use anything special for a sealant. Humans have been dry distilling wood since time immemorial. What does wood distillation get you? Charcoal and TAR. Wood pitch was a great sealant and used all the way through the 1400s in wooden boats. Tar in it's more liquid form (wood pitch is tar, just less fluid) makes for a relatively easy to manipulate, hydrophobic layer of resin for just about ay application.
***** Well the thing is that given the pressures we are looking at, even an opening of a single square centimeter in total could quickly outpace a bucket brigade. Also I doubt the spring was all that strong of a current. A spring will quickly erode itself down to low level of pressure. It probably only saved them some work, not power the whole thing.
TC Coltharp multiple gates = less water preassure per gate. like the guy said in the video. that and the fact that they wouldnt have to be completely water tight
Zamis Gama Like I said, I am quite aware of humans making water tight objects since antiquity. But these objects lacked moving components.If you just create a gate out wood and pitch, water either leak around the edges of the gate at rapid rate or it would stick in place all the time.If you are still having trouble envisioning it, imagine a bottle with cork in it. The cork can make a great reusable seal because it can be compressed and then rebound. To create the gates like they imagine you need a solid that can be compressed and rebound. The rebounding pressure is what makes the water tight seal. Most Solids and liquids can not be compressed and rebound. If you hit them pressure they tend deform or bond instead. Cork & rubber can do this easily. But most lumber won't rebound from compression. So every time you open and close the gate, it will leak more and more. And tar will tend to bond when compressed. So for this to work, the ancients needed a material that would rebound from compression and would not bond when compressed.If you can track down one such material that the ancient Egyptians had access to and I will consider this theory viable.
They show this glass tube as scale model to demonstrate how a stone (with swimmer ontop) can float upwards. This is working because they have an absolutely air-tight and water-tight tube to have the vacuum holding the water. But I wonder how you could build this from stone, several meters high. Making sure it's air-tight until the top. With movable gates which need to be sealed air-tight again! In a scale where those heavy stones can freely float inside. And sturdy enough not to scatter when the floating blocks bang against the walls.
And a second thought: Say, all this is working. Then: How would you press the blocks (with floaters) under water so it can enter the tube's entrance? You would need to apply pressure of several tons AGAINST the floaters, right? And then move it carefully under water until it is inside the tube, then release it carefully so it doesn't bang with 80 toons lifting force against the walls...
You could you could easily take away floats to a precise amount then put any amount of weight on to top sink but there’s a lot more that’s wrong with this idea
yeah... this guy didnt think about that.
well said. there is no vacuum on the top to "lift the water" to a higher level... I've never seen my straw hold liquid at a higher level then what my cup has. Well said Wolfram!
He explains how..Clay and amimal fat lining inside of a tube built from block.
@@rarodriguez I think Thats the job of the two gates.. Vacuum dont hold the water up in the tube.. The gates hold the water up in the tube when they fill it.. at all times you will have one gate closed. thats why they are two.
Investigations of the stones have long since shown that chemical reactions took place very quickly when the lime was bound. Such reactions do not occur with natural stone, but only with poured concrete.
Would this system work to raise the many granite blocks?
Very clever, I have never heard of this theory. I'd much rather float giant stones that weigh a ton than drag them.
sure, 2.5 million blocks cut with 120 million copper chisels and wooden mallets, blocks floated by 100 animal bladders each and miles of hemp ropes, which stretch when wet, per block, inflated by ????.Give me a break.
too bad they try to solve an engineering marvel with another engineering marvel that was impossible to construct.
maybe next they will explain how the egyptians built water tight gates and channels with stoneage technology.
I’m one step closer to figuring out how the Pyramid was built because I just eliminated this technique.
Best fuckin comment i've read on here by far 😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHA xD
LOL....you too
This theory answers more questions then other theories that only solve portions of the build. Also becomes very interesting when you learn that part of egypt had a massive flooding issue. To the point were the first pharaoh of lower and upper egypt had to construct a massive retention wall to keep the city from flooding annually. So there was lot of water around and lots of knowledge and engineering regarding bodies of water. In any case its still a mystery to mankind.
So in your opinion its more likely hundreds of thousands of people dragged the stones up hill to worksite eh.
So interesting.. pyramids are such a mystery , and this answers a few of my questions.. they are the most wondrous man made structures on this earth.
