13:50 that horizontal cartouche carved onto what would have been a vertical obelisk is also a huge giveaway. That has to have been done after the object collapsed and was repurposed into a wall block. Surely they would have carved a vertical cartouche onto an obelisk?
But the covered over hieroglyphs were oriented the same horizontal way it seems. Another obvious tag is at 12:06. It looks like this statue was already ancient when it was tagged by Ramses. Look at how deep and sharp the tag is compared to the much more weathered necklace and skirt.
I would like to say as a translator of Middle Egyptian that you are a beacon of hope in this area of study. Remember the mainstream Egyptologists are protecting their jobs by dismissing any other explanations of history. Keep up the good work
What exactly do you think egyptologists are hiding from you. Aliens? These civilizations were constructed by black Africans. That is literally the only thing being hidden from the general public. In academia this is well established thou.
@@TheMediaPortal is why would black people carve statues of people who look nothing like them? If you want examples of black statues check out the olmecs, the giant heads, top me that is what they would look like if done by black people
You are on the best path one could imagine. Thank you for taking us on your journey of discovery. We are onto deeper understanding than ever before. Peace and Onward!
I cannot see that there is any other explanation. I read, somewhere, that the Sahara is full of nano diamonds, such as would have been produced by a cataclysmic event. Looking around the world, I am convinced there was a lost civilisation. Perhaps, one day, more evidence of it will be discovered, somewhere. Perhaps another Gobekli Tepi. Meanwhile, thank you for a very interesting video.

Crazy! I was literally JUST (ten minutes before you posted this) thinking about how much I'd love to see another video of yours. Your videos are freaking amazing Ben. Keep going. You're waking people up.
Petrie was the man if anyone who could of and should of investigated the remains of the labyrinth deep down, because as of now, it will be a miracle if ever does get explored..
We need to dig out the sands AROUND some of these sites in Egypt. The current Egyptologist are shells of what they once were 150 years ago. The deserts around the Great Pyramids themselves could be dugout by us today and we don’t know what we would find.
Your work is AMAZING! You have become my favorite historian. This video is extremely enjoyable & beautiful. I deeply appreciate Yusuf’s knowledge & would give anything for a tour. Unfortunately I have health problems hindering me, so your exceptional videos are invaluable to me. I would watch a simple long take of your tours probably on repeat if you posted them. I appreciate you more then I can express. Thank you
I can't get over how amazing this channel is! It is simply the best channel ever and I wish I had all the time in the world to watch and re-watch every video!
Agreed the timeline needs to be stretched back further. It looks like a later civilisation has re-purposed certain sites with crude chiselling and intrusive burials.
The dynastic Egyptians actually did say that they were a legacy civilization. Modern Egyptology dismisses that as myth. They go with "Ramses' name is tagged on everything, so he made it all. End of query. Really? 12:06 is a perfect example of the tagging of found items by Ramses. Look at how deep the tag is compared with the well weathered necklace and skirt. Ramses was tagging items that were already ancient in his time. We are closer to Cleopatra than she was to the first dynasty of Egypt. Modern Egyptology says that over a two thousand year period in Egypt, the tools never progressed from stone balls and copper chisels to anything more intricate. Zero tool development in 2000 years!?!?!?! Modern Egyptologys "scientists" will be the last to know the reality, as they will need to be shown (by independent researchers) and accept the true due conclusions to the evidence laid before them.
@@hyperluminalreality1 ....Great comment, I was reading the catalogue of the Saqqara artefacts excavated 1905-14. There are pictures of meagre copper tools and flint knives and blades.
‘When Moses was playing halfback for the Israelites’ 😂 Your writing only gets better Ben! Thanks for all your hard work and this latest insightful video .
"when the afternoon sky was playing halfback for the stars of the nighttime celestial sky". A prime example of how taking mythology literally instead of figuratively/symbolically creates confusion and nonsense. The hebrew bible is mythology, not history. It records knowledge, focused on the celestial sky, in representative, personified story form. The term 'Egypt' means daytime sky, Pharaoh means daylight which rules over the day time sky, Is-Ra-El means night time sky, Red Sea means sunset/sunrise sky, ten plagues of Egypt/day sky means 10 signs of darkness coming (e.g., frogs croaking to attract mates, locust swarms blocking out the sun, etc), famine in Egypt means a dearth/suppression of stars during daylight, plagues in Egypt means stars spreading across the sky as darkness come, etc. Take mythology literally at one's own peril, and humanity's demise.
Im like a kid at Christmas waititng for your video's. The whole subject is really amazing. Love how you use facts and common sense. Keep up the great work . From Adelaide. Wish I could help out with money. But you know how things are right now . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Keep em coming! You are changing (correcting) our history books. Many archaeologists (most of) are simply too institutionalized, in a system that knocks down, or defunds those that rock the illegitimate history boat.
They topple over real archeology and chisel " was here!" on it. Blotting out anyone else before who had anything to say which was true! Irony...stunning irony. I guess things haven't changed much in 12000 years.
102k now, brother and you deserve every single one of them. Another mind bending stroll down ancient enigma lane, brilliantly assembled and narrated. Thank you, Ben, for all that you do and the way that you do it. This is not rambling, rage against the establishment, incoherent drivel but rather a concerted effort to look deeper at existing evidence and humbly suggest conclusions that, for me anyway, far outweigh the broad-sweeping and self-serving dogma of the mainstream paradigm. I do hope these crazy times are not hampering your efforts too much and that we all emerge from this mess soon. We are currently in a bit of a mess but on the value foe value model, I am in your debt sir. As son as I'm back on my feet, I will remedy this. Thanks again for this channel and your content.Just knowing there is somebody getting this "out there" already has me sleeping easier at night. Even if this notification took till 10th August to show up. It was released on my birthday and is the best belated birthday prezzie ever. Cheers mate.
Your videos are so good, it's always exciting to see a new one pop up. Thanks for all the research and investigation and for taking us along on these awesome journeys.
Top class presentation, great job Ben. If we find nubbed blocks at Tanis, we can undoubtedly connect it to other ancient high tech sites... but I think the stone quality present is enough already.
Hi Ben, great video, love all your work. When I took a tour of Egypt, the Egyptologist giving the tours of all the sites (such as Luxor) happily told us that Ramases II wrote his name all over statues and temples to claim them as his own, however at the same time told us these sites are dated by the names written in hieroglyphs at these sites?! That's the contradiction of mainstream Egyptology right there...
Awesome, Ben! As usual, you present the facts and stick to logic and science. I look forward visiting Tanis and all those places you have included in your tour this winter!
I enjoyed this so much. Tanis has amazed me as much as the other folks who’ve thought about why it looks like a statue flea market. I look forward to more. 👏👏

Greeting's , Excellent presentation! There is so much information I might have to watch it a few times! Thank you for your amazing efforts, be safe and be well.
I usually have to watch these videos a couple of times initially, but also after watching someone else's videos. I'll remember that Ben covered it, so I come back to a video to see the excellent footage and hear Ben's explanations again.
Excellent as usual. My son (30 years old) had heard nothing of all this until I turned him onto your channel. It's amazing how much we've been deceived by modern mainstream archaeology. Thanks for showing us the other, more sensible, side of Egyptian, and world, history. Also kudos to Robert Schoch, Randall Carlson, and Graham Hancock.
Great video Ben. A lot of good info. Petrie had no clue a lot of Ramses statues were moved to Tanis from the site at Qantir since that discovery wasn't made til a few decades ago. Whole city found beneath the surface with Ramses cartouche and his city verified. That's where Zoan/Avaris and Pi-Ramesses is located. Zoan at Tell El-Dab'a right next to Qantir. Over 10 miles from Tanis. Anyone disagreeing with that is ignoring good archaeology and what everyone agrees on. I agree much stuff was reused by kings and Pharaohs and that went back all the way to the first dynasties. Even sons defaced father's statues. I personally don't think anything in Egypt is Pre-cataclysm since all text suggest they came post cataclysm. Everything from the Egyptians says that, Plato, the Mayans..unless I'm missing something. I have no problem with 9000 BC. Gobekli Tepe was being done then. The ruins of Tanis look a bit like Abydos from overhead, very ancient. Official locations of Pi-Ramesses 30° 47′ 56″ N, 31° 50′ 9″ E and Avaris/Zoan.. 30° 47′ 14.71″ N, 31° 49′ 16.92″ E This is where they found the Hyksos wall a few years back. It's not at this site here you are showing. Was moved from Qantir location.,
Hey Charlie. You don't think anything in Egypt is pre-catacyslm? I'm not going to hound but what about the proof of the smooth finish diorite sphinxs with rough hyroglphys? Really wish time machines existed and people could go back and just video what was going on..
@@lorinlankins3004 I'm just going by the very similar things stated by the Egyptians...and remember that's what we call them and they started before the first dynasty....and what Plato wrote and the Olmec/Mayans text. And what's on Temple walls (Edfu) and the Dendera Zodiac. It all suggests post-cataclysm to me. All similar stories. Why did they come to Egypt...the Gods? Their Island was sank in a great cataclysm. But maybe though. We in some cases haven't a clue to what went on 2-3000 years ago.
@@cfapps7865 I thought the Egyptians said that their gods built some of their structures? Same with the Mayans? Inca civilization as well? Honestly I get most my information watxhing people like you, Ben, Matt and Jimmy. Just because you guys put jt together well and jn terms someone like me can understand. So my question for you then is, was it pre dynastic Egypt had technology that was lost, and same for Peru and Olmecs even tho from what I've heard not much is known about the Olmec civilization. Not trying to be argumentative. I'm curious though, I thought you also believe it could be pre cataclysmic event
@@lorinlankins3004 The Mayan/Olmec text and glyphs says the same as the Egyptians. Came to central America after their island went down. And yes, the Egyptians refer to these people as Gods who first came to Egypt and built the first temples.
@@cfapps7865 were the Mayan and Olmecs living around the same time as the Egyptians? Because from what I've heard or thought i heard Mayans came way after the Egyptians
Interesting how life looked like in 14000-13000 years ago. Thanks to this channel and many more like this, we have an understanding of work and skills and these awesome buildings and statues that are still here. Thinking about walking around there in 14000 years ago..thinkin that in the future, when the world has risen up from what is about to happen..the world is changed so much, that we have trouble to even recognise our past.
Mate you're doing great work. Never straying into the realms of "woo woo" where the nay sayers could easily attack you. Always balanced and giving, to me at least, very objective evidence. Nice one.
We need to dig out the sands AROUND some of these sites in Egypt. The current Egyptologist are shells of what they once were 150 years ago. The deserts around the Great Pyramids themselves could be dugout by us today and we don’t know what we would find.
I’d rather they not. I’m not sure if we could handle finding out that the oldest largest structures in Egypt is built upon even older larger structures.
Ben I’ll be looking forward to your 3rd segment of pre-cataclysm history, particularly, the construction methodology of megalithic structures...tnx Ben
Whilst the theory has its grounds; I feel like the contemporary archaeologists may have incorrectly dated many Ancient Egyptian artifacts , sites and writings - we also don't have evidence of the high technological tools that were used to construct such objects in antiquity, discovery of which is something that I feel like would shed some light onto the enigma that is Ancient Egypt.
@@stoicsingh472 One cannot expect to find any remnants of the tools that were used to create these huge majestic & magnificent monolithic structures or statues. It is only because of their immense sizes and what the pieces were made from (stone), that they withstood the ravages of time & nature. It's almost impossible to obliterate these pieces. Not even great floods or earthquakes were capable of this, some of their breakage though was possibly the result of it. However I believe the tools used to make them have long past disintegrated & dissappeared due to passage of nature & time.
@@stoicsingh472 Finding a "highly technological tool" used in Ancient Egypt, would be like saying you can find tools used to build the Statue of Liberty on site
Awesome video as always Ben, interesting, well produced, insightful and teaching me something new every time, keep up the good work! :) Always look forward to your content ahead of anything else on youtube, every time I get a notification I'm hoping it's another video from Uncharted x!
Thanks Ben. Awesome video as usual. I went schoolgirl for a moment when I saw it was in my inbox. Keep up the exceptional work you're doing. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into your videos. It's not lost on me the shear scope of the work that goes into them. It's a perfect example of quality over quantity being the apt approach.
Lovley work Ben. Many thanks. Thank goodness we have creaters and researchers such as yourself to gradually replace the dubious bumbling of the 'traditional authorities'
As always very well presented and edited. Really love finding out about these things from people who are not scared to tell the truth, I bet none of the mainstream egyptologists would deny that carvings would have been placed on existing objects.
I was getting so sick and tired of the mainstream story of history. Thank you for sharing your exploration of the past. Even if you are ultimately proven to be entirely wrong, you are asking the right question to progress our understanding and for that I thank you.
You arent alone with being sick and tired of mainstream narrative... its because its all bullshit. And you have discernment. I tip my hat to you, fellow human!
Fascinating. I wasn't aware of the treasurers and architecture of Tanis. The glimpse of the silver sarcophagus exites me more than the gaudy, gold funeral mask of Tut. And the colossal statues are breath taking. You have excited something inside me and I will delve deeper. Thank you for that. Liked and subscribed. (Not something I do much these days) 👍😊
Huge time span between the artifacts in ancient Egypt and the people that inherited the land many thousands of years later. A push back to the time of a highly sophisticated society is necessary to understand the true history of earth.
The Bible talks about a race of giants before the cataclysm and some giant survivors afterward. It also implies an increase in C14 levels that would skew C14 dating.
All the really old stuff had no writing or greatly predates the writing later added. I would think if the original builders had the hyrogliphs they would have used them ? On the other hand I find it hard to believe the builders of the great pyramid didn't have writing.
I'm undecided on this. In later times (new kingdom) they definitely had access to iron tools and could do very good work when carving glyphs. Yousef Awyan has said that he has never seen any evidence for machine tools in glyphs, even the best ones, which means they could have all been done in dynastic times. I think there are a couple of examples of shapes that are contemporary with artifacts that DO show machining marks (statues, boxes, obelisks, slabs) that were later incorporated into glyphs. I am hoping to investigate this further on my next trip to egypt.
@@UnchartedX So let me get this straight...Yousef is saying that ALL glyphs were done by hand without tools?? I find this hard to believe, because the glyphs in granite look like a cookie cutter was used, or some high tech machine cut them out perfectly. ??? I saw him say that in a video of yours , but I didnt fully understand if that is what he was saying. Can you expound further please?
@@BrickWilbur2020 yes, that's what he says. Bear in mind that with iron tools it is possible to do very high quality work. Evidence for machining is specifically what he's looking for - and (at least according to the last time I spoke with him) he has yet to see that in glyphs. Personally I lean towards your conclusion, that some of the glyphs look too good to have been done by hand - but I don't want to underestimate the dynastic egyptians, they were very skilled, and once they had iron they could work granite far more easily. I break down the 'evidence' for ancient high tech into a couple of categories: machining, precision, and the logistics of lifting and moving the largest artifacts (or things like the serapeum boxes into tight underground spaces.) I'm still undecided as to whether some of the glyphs come from the builder times or not, and as Yousef will be our guide on the tour in December I'm really looking forward to investigating this further then.
👏👏👍👏👏 good job Ben, out of all the Egyptian sites, Tanis, unique among other egyptian sites, is thought provoking to me due to the vast desolation of the site. Which i noticed was not touched on in your video, still an informative video, learned some things i id not know so it was absolutely worth viewing.good job, and keep knocking them out.
I needed some perspective when talking about weights in tons. Roughly add 10% if we’re talking metric. 1500 ton blocks of granite is too abstract. I checked online quickly for common heavy things. I already know that my tractor/ trailer with a load can be 80000 pounds or a puny 40 tons. A diesel locomotive comes in at 210 - 220 tons. A Boeing 747 735000 pounds or 367 tons.
Ben, I hope you realize that you have placed yourself among the leaders in disseminating quality, unbiased information to the public. Thank you. I know I will never see the sights you bring us, but it’s not disappointing because of what a fine job you do. Cheers!
they were skilled at it. If you look closely at many of Ramses II's carvings he made sure to have them done very deep - presumably to prevent future rulers from erasing his name easily. This is one reason why we see so many examples of his work.
@@UnchartedX are they removing a layer of granite to get rid of the old writings? It's hard to tell from the video. Too me it looks like two different masons started from opposite ends and when they met the writing did not match.
@@funitoo I can't give you any links right now, but there are several examples illustrated on the net about how things were written over, and what the original (or previous) marks looked like. One of the most well documented examples is the infamous helicopter and tank glyph that some theorists (I won't call them fringe, but it's not a very solid theory) use to show that the Egyptians were an advanced civilization, but what common archaeology surmises was that the old one was filled in with plaster and they carved a new glyph on top. Over the years, the plaster fell and the glyph left behind was a blending of the two. I don't understand how such a glaringly obvious and famous example of re-marking original glyphs from a successive ruler is mostly ignored when dealing with topics such as this. The very excuse they make to downplay helicopters in Egypt would ironically explain so much of the confusion regarding attributions in ancient Egypt.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I am familiar with the helicopter case. It's plaster so easy to do. I am interested how it is done in granite. This video is the first I have ever seen talking about it.
@@funitoo They carve the new glyphs deeper and locate them in a way that'll cover up the original, using existing marks if possible, or by refacing the surface entirely.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this channel, it’s such a refreshing break from the insanity of politics that seems to flood every channel. ❤️ your content is incredible, keep up the brilliant work!
Just a thought, if the statues are so perfect and identical then maybe they are more likely to be a visual representation of Ra or some other god like being or hero maybe?
That's exactly what I was thinking. It could be someone like the main leader who's decisions saved their asses from drowning. (or he could have been just the guy down the street who had a boat) The fact that these statues have a perfectly symmetrical face alone throws the "official" concocted story into doubt.
Ra wasn't a god! Ra is an ancient soul from Venus and was able to reincarnate into a human being... There are channeling sessions with Ra recorded in the eighties: The Law Of One; check it out on UA-cam
The idea that biologically modern humans, that were just as smart as we are now, just kicked around the planet as hunter gatherers for over 294,000 years and then suddenly decided to build the Pyramids, is hilarious! At least the institution of archeology has given us some comic relief, if little else.
It's not unreasonable to make this assertion. We've gone from not knowing electricity exists to a world that is run by it in 200 years. Remember the North American Natives managed to inhabit the continent for 20,000 years and produced maybe a handful of structures that survive to this day.
Icthulu I think there were civilizations and structures in north america that were obliterated by cataclysmic events within the last few thousand years.
@@laelhitz9362 I would be curious what event you are considering. I believe that the pre-YD civilization did exist, but the skeptic's prospective isn't wholly without precedence.
@@g-r-a-e-m-e- wow. Finally someone says it. Been saying it for years. An advanced civilization with the slightest foresight and with even a half assed understanding of the sciences would know the importance of being ecological friendly.

Great video Ben. Quarrying, shaping and lifting stones this size, Seems to be all in a days work for this culture. We have nothing to compare this to today. We need a fresh look and to take this mystery seriously. Your doing an amazing job of it Ben 👍👍👍
Fine Ben. Though, the cataclysm (Younger Dryas) may have happened earlier since radiometric dating is flawed. Datings may have been driven into the past by Reservoir effects (FRE, MRE) or water bubbles cavitation. Lightning and EMF may have also played a role on that. For more info google "archibald velicrates" "on the dating methods".
Interesting... I really would like to see someone go deep inside the Great Pyramid and Optical luminescence test a block that has NOT been exposed to light since it was built. This would give a pretty exact year it was built. Any takers out there!?
@@BrickWilbur2020 Might be interesting. Hope they do not exclude extreme values from statistic as use to do (the ones that discord with expected dates). Cosmic rays can go through the stone, but not sure if they may distort the dating.
@@theelectricorigins846 I think cosmic Ray's is the basis of the dating. Sunlight erases the cosmic age footprint, or rather resets it back to a current date. It's really super interesting technology.

Great stuff as ever Ben. I can never get over the cuts into granite, not only that but granite full of quartz . It's not only the smoothness of the cuts but the variation in size, from the perfectly flat edges of the blocks to the fine curves on the faces, and the tiny details. I'm with Chris Dunn on this it has to be something like a CNC router with an ultrasonic drill bit, and a multi-axis, massive one at that, with a huge, automatic tool-changer to get all those different radii ! I looked into ultrasonic drills, they are fairly simple so i'm going to make one (a hand-held one!) and see how it deals with granite, especially if it's in harmony (frequency-wise) with the resonant frequency of the granite sample.

What really bends my nut more than anything is the high polish these things STILL possess. That is the real unreal expression of these pre-history craftsmen. We are talking thousands upon thousands of years open to the elements and yet they still have this incredible polish. For me this is the true genius of the long forgotten craftsmen. And i don't use genius lightly. There are no words to describe the ingenious skill that is at work here and in various other sites that show this beautiful work. At the end of the day you can only say. I DON'T KNOW! !! We are but children and it will take millennia for us to ever catch up. If we ever do. Peace x
It's obviously an intensely interesting subject, but one thing is to keep pointing at a conservative establishment that won't budge, quite another is to actually find further proof that civilizations more advanced than the Egyptians existed millenia back in time. You're pointing out some proof related to precision tools and megalithic structures, but where's the rest of the proof? Where's the layers of settlement, of trash, etc. that all humans through times have left behind? The answer is it isn't there or hasn't been discovered yet. We've found plenty of proof of hunter-gatherer societies and early agrarians in the same time period you're describing. And that's why the conservatives are being conservative... So maybe tone down the indignation and keep focus on the work of discovery that you do so very well.
@@313barrygmail You'd still find a shitload of highly advanced plastic garbage etc. @Allen - Yeah, that's not a solid foundation to build a theory on. A hypothesis maybe, but not one that'd get you much notice in mainstream circles. Also there would be more evidence of such a widespread event. Not to mention that if this civilization would've existed long enough to move out of a hunter-gatherer society - they would've left behind further evidence in the ground that a major solar or asteroid event wouldn't have been able to touch. Human cities that sprung up in the Middle Ages have grown upwards by 5-10 meters on average due to trash.
The answer is that we're either not looking for it, or we're not recognizing it as such. Take the Clovis culture of North America. It was generally agreed upon that they were the first here, and nothing existed below the line where they found Clovis artifacts. So whatever was below that point was left undisturbed and the narrative continued, confirmed status quo. It wasn't until people began digging deeper did they notice there was more to be found, and now numerous examples of pre-Clovis artifacts have been unearthed. The narrative is now slowly changing but in mainstream archaeology, the Clovis are still considered to be the first...even though we now have proof otherwise. There are many cultures throughout history that we have literally no evidence for, barring one type of artifact, tool, pottery, etc. that were recovered. No settlements, no layers of midden, no documents or roads or human remains. They still exist, nonetheless. Iron and steel would leave no trace, a vast city of adobe brick buildings turn to dust and become buried in sand, roads disappear, objects and places repurposed beyond recognition, only certain well preserved items would leave anything for us to find and if you mistakenly attribute them to a later culture....you'll find literally no evidence of an earlier civilization. What Ben is doing is exactly what you're wanting. He's simply pointing out that in order for archaeology as a whole to find more examples of such things, to answer these questions and make sense of what we have, these conservative individuals have to stop hampering the types of research and excavations necessary to prove such things. If you were labeled a pseudo-paleontologist and mocked in every journal possible for positing a theory that dinosaurs were wiped out by a comet, losing the support and funds necessary to find such proof, would you continue searching for an impact crater out of your own pocket? Would you drop the subject, or would you go broke eventually and waste your life being ridiculed trying to find tidbits of evidence? Keep in mind, that if you believe any of what Ben is saying here, you are being mocked by that same community for being so stupid as to believe in it.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I disagree with your premise that Clovis First is still the mainstream view of American settlement. It's obviously been proven beyond any doubt that several sites exist that predate it. And none of these sites contain anything but the expected level of hunter/gatherer technology. So that's a rather minor change of archaeological history compared to the one yall are agitating for here... Furthermore I believe you're equating the state of corrupt Egyptian and Middle Eastern dictatorships - with a lot of special interests to take into account, with the ordinary university movements of scientists and researchers. They don't have the luxury of grand speculations, because that's not the name of the game. I don't doubt that wonders could be unearthed if more focused work was directed towards f.ex. Egypt. But the nation is dirt poor and has a long history of not trusting Westerner' intentions toward their archeological heritage - with good reason. I worked in Egypt and the ordinary man on the street believed the whole thing was created by God, dinosaur bones and all... In summary - Ben and others are doing David's work, but Goliath ain't the establishment. It's the work itself... Don't blame the establishment for not believing something that there is very little evidence and thus reason for anyone to believe in. The focus becomes muddled and quite insufferably tribal.

I would like to say as a translator of Middle Egyptian that you are a beacon of hope in this area of study. Remember the mainstream Egyptologists are protecting their jobs by dismissing any other explanations of history. Keep up the good work
What exactly do you think egyptologists are hiding from you. Aliens? These civilizations were constructed by black Africans. That is literally the only thing being hidden from the general public. In academia this is well established thou.
@@TheMediaPortal Not true.
@@TheMediaPortal is why would black people carve statues of people who look nothing like them? If you want examples of black statues check out the olmecs, the giant heads, top me that is what they would look like if done by black people
Couldn't agree more. 👍👊
@@TheMediaPortal You can't hide something that never happened in the first place.
You are on the best path one could imagine. Thank you for taking us on your journey of discovery. We are onto deeper understanding than ever before. Peace and Onward!
I cannot see that there is any other explanation.
I read, somewhere, that the Sahara is full of nano diamonds, such as would have been produced by a cataclysmic event.
Looking around the world, I am convinced there was a lost civilisation.
Perhaps, one day, more evidence of it will be discovered, somewhere. Perhaps another Gobekli Tepi.
Meanwhile, thank you for a very interesting video.
Great job Ben.

Hope you're keeping well, mate.
Crazy! I was literally JUST (ten minutes before you posted this) thinking about how much I'd love to see another video of yours. Your videos are freaking amazing Ben. Keep going. You're waking people up.
Excellent work Ben, always enjoy watching your Vids. Keep them coming
It's unbelievable that the some archeologist from the 19th century were more open-minded and much brighter in their judgment then current mainstream.
Petrie was the man if anyone who could of and should of investigated the remains of the labyrinth deep down, because as of now, it will be a miracle if ever does get explored..
Archeologist today is in it for the doo, nothing more, nothing less.
We need to dig out the sands AROUND some of these sites in Egypt. The current Egyptologist are shells of what they once were 150 years ago. The deserts around the Great Pyramids themselves could be dugout by us today and we don’t know what we would find.
@ Blablabla
They were a bit more open minded on a few issues but were just as selective as modern historians; especially when it came to the locals.
Is it? He didn't have to grow up with the status quo way of thinking

Awesome :) first viewer , love your work :)
Agreed the timeline needs to be stretched back further. It looks like a later civilisation has re-purposed certain sites with crude chiselling and intrusive burials.
The dynastic Egyptians actually did say that they were a legacy civilization. Modern Egyptology dismisses that as myth. They go with "Ramses' name is tagged on everything, so he made it all. End of query. Really?
12:06 is a perfect example of the tagging of found items by Ramses. Look at how deep the tag is compared with the well weathered necklace and skirt. Ramses was tagging items that were already ancient in his time. We are closer to Cleopatra than she was to the first dynasty of Egypt.
Modern Egyptology says that over a two thousand year period in Egypt, the tools never progressed from stone balls and copper chisels to anything more intricate. Zero tool development in 2000 years!?!?!?!
Modern Egyptologys "scientists" will be the last to know the reality, as they will need to be shown (by independent researchers) and accept the true due conclusions to the evidence laid before them.
@@hyperluminalreality1 ....Great comment, I was reading the catalogue of the Saqqara artefacts excavated 1905-14. There are pictures of meagre copper tools and flint knives and blades.
‘When Moses was playing halfback for the Israelites’ 😂 Your writing only gets better Ben! Thanks for all your hard work and this latest insightful video .
"when the afternoon sky was playing halfback for the stars of the nighttime celestial sky". A prime example of how taking mythology literally instead of figuratively/symbolically creates confusion and nonsense. The hebrew bible is mythology, not history. It records knowledge, focused on the celestial sky, in representative, personified story form. The term 'Egypt' means daytime sky, Pharaoh means daylight which rules over the day time sky, Is-Ra-El means night time sky, Red Sea means sunset/sunrise sky, ten plagues of Egypt/day sky means 10 signs of darkness coming (e.g., frogs croaking to attract mates, locust swarms blocking out the sun, etc), famine in Egypt means a dearth/suppression of stars during daylight, plagues in Egypt means stars spreading across the sky as darkness come, etc. Take mythology literally at one's own peril, and humanity's demise.

Great work Ben. Very well spoken about and continues to be so interesting.
Keep em coming! You are changing (correcting) our history books. Many archaeologists (most of) are simply too institutionalized, in a system that knocks down, or defunds those that rock the illegitimate history boat.
They topple over real archeology and chisel " was here!" on it. Blotting out anyone else before who had anything to say which was true! Irony...stunning irony. I guess things haven't changed much in 12000 years.
102k now, brother and you deserve every single one of them. Another mind bending stroll down ancient enigma lane, brilliantly assembled and narrated. Thank you, Ben, for all that you do and the way that you do it. This is not rambling, rage against the establishment, incoherent drivel but rather a concerted effort to look deeper at existing evidence and humbly suggest conclusions that, for me anyway, far outweigh the broad-sweeping and self-serving dogma of the mainstream paradigm.
I do hope these crazy times are not hampering your efforts too much and that we all emerge from this mess soon.

Top class presentation, great job Ben. If we find nubbed blocks at Tanis, we can undoubtedly connect it to other ancient high tech sites... but I think the stone quality present is enough already.
Thank you so much Ben, for another long high quality video with astonishing pictures, quotes and ideas!
Keep up your great work!
Hi Ben, great video, love all your work. When I took a tour of Egypt, the Egyptologist giving the tours of all the sites (such as Luxor) happily told us that Ramases II wrote his name all over statues and temples to claim them as his own, however at the same time told us these sites are dated by the names written in hieroglyphs at these sites?! That's the contradiction of mainstream Egyptology right there...
Is it? Or is it possible to tell an original inscription from one done on top of an older one?
@@gavinlaird85sure thats possible, buts it’s equally possible that older inscriptions are not legible anymore if they have been removed..
Awesome, Ben! As usual, you present the facts and stick to logic and science. I look forward visiting Tanis and all those places you have included in your tour this winter!
I enjoyed this so much. Tanis has amazed me as much as the other folks who’ve thought about why it looks like a statue flea market. I look forward to more. 👏👏

Great video Ben. A lot of good info. Petrie had no clue a lot of Ramses statues were moved to Tanis from the site at Qantir since that discovery wasn't made til a few decades ago. Whole city found beneath the surface with Ramses cartouche and his city verified. That's where Zoan/Avaris and Pi-Ramesses is located. Zoan at Tell El-Dab'a right next to Qantir. Over 10 miles from Tanis. Anyone disagreeing with that is ignoring good archaeology and what everyone agrees on. I agree much stuff was reused by kings and Pharaohs and that went back all the way to the first dynasties. Even sons defaced father's statues. I personally don't think anything in Egypt is Pre-cataclysm since all text suggest they came post cataclysm. Everything from the Egyptians says that, Plato, the Mayans..unless I'm missing something. I have no problem with 9000 BC. Gobekli Tepe was being done then. The ruins of Tanis look a bit like Abydos from overhead, very ancient. Official locations of Pi-Ramesses 30° 47′ 56″ N, 31° 50′ 9″ E and Avaris/Zoan.. 30° 47′ 14.71″ N, 31° 49′ 16.92″ E This is where they found the Hyksos wall a few years back. It's not at this site here you are showing. Was moved from Qantir location.,
Hey Charlie. You don't think anything in Egypt is pre-catacyslm? I'm not going to hound but what about the proof of the smooth finish diorite sphinxs with rough hyroglphys? Really wish time machines existed and people could go back and just video what was going on..
@@lorinlankins3004 I'm just going by the very similar things stated by the Egyptians...and remember that's what we call them and they started before the first dynasty....and what Plato wrote and the Olmec/Mayans text. And what's on Temple walls (Edfu) and the Dendera Zodiac. It all suggests post-cataclysm to me. All similar stories. Why did they come to Egypt...the Gods? Their Island was sank in a great cataclysm. But maybe though. We in some cases haven't a clue to what went on 2-3000 years ago.
@@cfapps7865 I thought the Egyptians said that their gods built some of their structures? Same with the Mayans? Inca civilization as well? Honestly I get most my information watxhing people like you, Ben, Matt and Jimmy. Just because you guys put jt together well and jn terms someone like me can understand.
So my question for you then is, was it pre dynastic Egypt had technology that was lost, and same for Peru and Olmecs even tho from what I've heard not much is known about the Olmec civilization.
Not trying to be argumentative. I'm curious though, I thought you also believe it could be pre cataclysmic event
@@lorinlankins3004 The Mayan/Olmec text and glyphs says the same as the Egyptians. Came to central America after their island went down. And yes, the Egyptians refer to these people as Gods who first came to Egypt and built the first temples.
@@cfapps7865 were the Mayan and Olmecs living around the same time as the Egyptians? Because from what I've heard or thought i heard Mayans came way after the Egyptians
Interesting how life looked like in 14000-13000 years ago. Thanks to this channel and many more like this, we have an understanding of work and skills and these awesome buildings and statues that are still here. Thinking about walking around there in 14000 years ago..thinkin that in the future, when the world has risen up from what is about to happen..the world is changed so much, that we have trouble to even recognise our past.

@@superstitiouspre-literatep9730 Somewhat true, it is surrounded by compacted sandstone, I assume that's what he meant

HELL YEAH! Ben, you are on fire mate. Favorite, most anticipated channel!
I wish there were more researchers out there like you. Keep up the great work!
Ben I’ll be looking forward to your 3rd segment of pre-cataclysm history, particularly, the construction methodology of megalithic structures...tnx Ben
I'm convinced the inheritance theory is closest thing to the truth. It makes the most sense imo
Whilst the theory has its grounds; I feel like the contemporary archaeologists may have incorrectly dated many Ancient Egyptian artifacts , sites and writings - we also don't have evidence of the high technological tools that were used to construct such objects in antiquity, discovery of which is something that I feel like would shed some light onto the enigma that is Ancient Egypt.
@@stoicsingh472 One cannot expect to find any remnants of the tools that were used to create these huge majestic & magnificent monolithic structures or statues.
It is only because of their immense sizes and what the pieces were made from (stone), that they withstood the ravages of time & nature.
It's almost impossible to obliterate these pieces. Not even great
floods or earthquakes were capable of this, some of their breakage though was possibly the result of it.
However I believe the tools used to make them have long past disintegrated & dissappeared due to passage of nature & time.
@@stoicsingh472 Finding a "highly technological tool" used in Ancient Egypt, would be like saying you can find tools used to build the Statue of Liberty on site

Top notch investigating as always sir, the field of archaeology owes you a great debt.
Highlight of my week/month. Best content on UA-cam.
As always very well presented and edited. Really love finding out about these things from people who are not scared to tell the truth, I bet none of the mainstream egyptologists would deny that carvings would have been placed on existing objects.
Keep 'em coming! Great stuff!
I was getting so sick and tired of the mainstream story of history. Thank you for sharing your exploration of the past. Even if you are ultimately proven to be entirely wrong, you are asking the right question to progress our understanding and for that I thank you.
You arent alone with being sick and tired of mainstream narrative... its because its all bullshit. And you have discernment. I tip my hat to you, fellow human!
Fascinating. I wasn't aware of the treasurers and architecture of Tanis. The glimpse of the silver sarcophagus exites me more than the gaudy, gold funeral mask of Tut. And the colossal statues are breath taking. You have excited something inside me and I will delve deeper. Thank you for that. Liked and subscribed. (Not something I do much these days) 👍😊
Huge time span between the artifacts in ancient Egypt and the people that inherited the land many thousands of years later. A push back to the time of a highly sophisticated society is necessary to understand the true history of earth.
Exactly
The Bible talks about a race of giants before the cataclysm and some giant survivors afterward. It also implies an increase in C14 levels that would skew C14 dating.
Gonna be a great Saturday now! Thanks Ben!
Makes me wonder... Did they also inherit the hieroglyphic script, or was it invented later?
Very good question.. I’ve never considered that one but it actually makes a great deal of sense 👍🏻
All the really old stuff had no writing or greatly predates the writing later added. I would think if the original builders had the hyrogliphs they would have used them ? On the other hand I find it hard to believe the builders of the great pyramid didn't have writing.
I'm undecided on this. In later times (new kingdom) they definitely had access to iron tools and could do very good work when carving glyphs. Yousef Awyan has said that he has never seen any evidence for machine tools in glyphs, even the best ones, which means they could have all been done in dynastic times. I think there are a couple of examples of shapes that are contemporary with artifacts that DO show machining marks (statues, boxes, obelisks, slabs) that were later incorporated into glyphs. I am hoping to investigate this further on my next trip to egypt.
@@UnchartedX So let me get this straight...Yousef is saying that ALL glyphs were done by hand without tools?? I find this hard to believe, because the glyphs in granite look like a cookie cutter was used, or some high tech machine cut them out perfectly. ??? I saw him say that in a video of yours , but I didnt fully understand if that is what he was saying. Can you expound further please?
@@BrickWilbur2020 yes, that's what he says. Bear in mind that with iron tools it is possible to do very high quality work. Evidence for machining is specifically what he's looking for - and (at least according to the last time I spoke with him) he has yet to see that in glyphs. Personally I lean towards your conclusion, that some of the glyphs look too good to have been done by hand - but I don't want to underestimate the dynastic egyptians, they were very skilled, and once they had iron they could work granite far more easily. I break down the 'evidence' for ancient high tech into a couple of categories: machining, precision, and the logistics of lifting and moving the largest artifacts (or things like the serapeum boxes into tight underground spaces.) I'm still undecided as to whether some of the glyphs come from the builder times or not, and as Yousef will be our guide on the tour in December I'm really looking forward to investigating this further then.
👏👏👍👏👏 good job Ben,
out of all the Egyptian sites, Tanis, unique among other egyptian sites, is thought provoking to me due to the vast desolation of the site. Which i noticed was not touched on in your video, still an informative video, learned some things i id not know so it was absolutely worth viewing.good job, and keep knocking them out.
Like the fact some of the stone has the appearance of heat damage? Because I find that quite intriguing.
I needed some perspective when talking about weights in tons. Roughly add 10% if we’re talking metric. 1500 ton blocks of granite is too abstract.
I checked online quickly for common heavy things. I already know that my tractor/ trailer with a load can be 80000 pounds or a puny 40 tons. A diesel locomotive comes in at 210 - 220 tons. A Boeing 747 735000 pounds or 367 tons.
@Brain Blocking how?
Ben, I hope you realize that you have placed yourself among the leaders in disseminating quality, unbiased information to the public. Thank you. I know I will never see the sights you bring us, but it’s not disappointing because of what a fine job you do. Cheers!
13:47 how was that blending done? How do you fill in the previous carvings in granite to make the new ones?
they were skilled at it. If you look closely at many of Ramses II's carvings he made sure to have them done very deep - presumably to prevent future rulers from erasing his name easily. This is one reason why we see so many examples of his work.
@@UnchartedX are they removing a layer of granite to get rid of the old writings? It's hard to tell from the video. Too me it looks like two different masons started from opposite ends and when they met the writing did not match.
@@funitoo I can't give you any links right now, but there are several examples illustrated on the net about how things were written over, and what the original (or previous) marks looked like. One of the most well documented examples is the infamous helicopter and tank glyph that some theorists (I won't call them fringe, but it's not a very solid theory) use to show that the Egyptians were an advanced civilization, but what common archaeology surmises was that the old one was filled in with plaster and they carved a new glyph on top. Over the years, the plaster fell and the glyph left behind was a blending of the two. I don't understand how such a glaringly obvious and famous example of re-marking original glyphs from a successive ruler is mostly ignored when dealing with topics such as this. The very excuse they make to downplay helicopters in Egypt would ironically explain so much of the confusion regarding attributions in ancient Egypt.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I am familiar with the helicopter case. It's plaster so easy to do. I am interested how it is done in granite. This video is the first I have ever seen talking about it.
@@funitoo They carve the new glyphs deeper and locate them in a way that'll cover up the original, using existing marks if possible, or by refacing the surface entirely.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this channel, it’s such a refreshing break from the insanity of politics that seems to flood every channel. ❤️ your content is incredible, keep up the brilliant work!
Just a thought, if the statues are so perfect and identical then maybe they are more likely to be a visual representation of Ra or some other god like being or hero maybe?
Just a GREAT thought!
That's exactly what I was thinking. It could be someone like the main leader who's decisions saved their asses from drowning. (or he could have been just the guy down the street who had a boat) The fact that these statues have a perfectly symmetrical face alone throws the "official" concocted story into doubt.
Ra wasn't a god! Ra is an ancient soul from Venus and was able to reincarnate into a human being... There are channeling sessions with Ra recorded in the eighties: The Law Of One; check it out on UA-cam
Gave a thumbs up during the AD before the video even started. Always, compelling, quality content. I NEED to get to EGYPT!
"SHAME ON YOU"!!. lol Brilliant as always Ben.
Amazing as always Ben, thank you very much for giving your opinion on it as well.
The idea that biologically modern humans, that were just as smart as we are now, just kicked around the planet as hunter gatherers for over 294,000 years and then suddenly decided to build the Pyramids, is hilarious! At least the institution of archeology has given us some comic relief, if little else.
It's not unreasonable to make this assertion. We've gone from not knowing electricity exists to a world that is run by it in 200 years. Remember the North American Natives managed to inhabit the continent for 20,000 years and produced maybe a handful of structures that survive to this day.

Great video Ben. Quarrying, shaping and lifting stones this size, Seems to be all in a days work for this culture. We have nothing to compare this to today. We need a fresh look and to take this mystery seriously. Your doing an amazing job of it Ben 👍👍👍
Fine Ben. Though, the cataclysm (Younger Dryas) may have happened earlier since radiometric dating is flawed. Datings may have been driven into the past by Reservoir effects (FRE, MRE) or water bubbles cavitation. Lightning and EMF may have also played a role on that. For more info google "archibald velicrates" "on the dating methods".
Interesting... I really would like to see someone go deep inside the Great Pyramid and Optical luminescence test a block that has NOT been exposed to light since it was built. This would give a pretty exact year it was built. Any takers out there!?
@@BrickWilbur2020 Might be interesting. Hope they do not exclude extreme values from statistic as use to do (the ones that discord with expected dates). Cosmic rays can go through the stone, but not sure if they may distort the dating.

Great stuff as ever Ben. I can never get over the cuts into granite, not only that but granite full of quartz . It's not only the smoothness of the cuts but the variation in size, from the perfectly flat edges of the blocks to the fine curves on the faces, and the tiny details. I'm with Chris Dunn on this it has to be something like a CNC router with an ultrasonic drill bit, and a multi-axis, massive one at that, with a huge, automatic tool-changer to get all those different radii ! I looked into ultrasonic drills, they are fairly simple so i'm going to make one (a hand-held one!) and see how it deals with granite, especially if it's in harmony (frequency-wise) with the resonant frequency of the granite sample.
We don't know how these artifacts were made.
It's ok to not know.
Hey there, agreed. How these monumental, superhuman feats were achieved is beyond our understanding...and as you say, that's ok. I do think there are are more answers to be found, but the state of current academia prevents that happening...peace to ya.
It's fun to try and find out though :)
@@sparkleypegs8350 Hey there Sparkley, yes it is...but it just spanners my head because i know these things are not possible with the methods and tools in the archeological record. Peace to ya.
It is ok, but I don’t like being lied to about it. Don’t just say “a soft metal carved these hard ass stones”
@@EMurph42 Agreed Erin, on the mohs scale of hardness copper ie 3, granite is 7. It is not possible to carve granite with copper chisels...never mind the mind boggling size of these objects..peace to ya.
What really bends my nut more than anything is the high polish these things STILL possess. That is the real unreal expression of these pre-history craftsmen. We are talking thousands upon thousands of years open to the elements and yet they still have this incredible polish. For me this is the true genius of the long forgotten craftsmen. And i don't use genius lightly. There are no words to describe the ingenious skill that is at work here and in various other sites that show this beautiful work. At the end of the day you can only say. I DON'T KNOW! !! We are but children and it will take millennia for us to ever catch up. If we ever do. Peace x
It's obviously an intensely interesting subject, but one thing is to keep pointing at a conservative establishment that won't budge, quite another is to actually find further proof that civilizations more advanced than the Egyptians existed millenia back in time. You're pointing out some proof related to precision tools and megalithic structures, but where's the rest of the proof? Where's the layers of settlement, of trash, etc. that all humans through times have left behind?
The answer is it isn't there or hasn't been discovered yet.
We've found plenty of proof of hunter-gatherer societies and early agrarians in the same time period you're describing.
And that's why the conservatives are being conservative... So maybe tone down the indignation and keep focus on the work of discovery that you do so very well.
If you dig up the empire State building I don't think you'll find one tool left behind by the builders?????
After 12,000 years what trash would be left if a plasma burst from the sun evaporated everything except granite blocks? Possible explanation.
@@313barrygmail You'd still find a shitload of highly advanced plastic garbage etc.
@Allen - Yeah, that's not a solid foundation to build a theory on. A hypothesis maybe, but not one that'd get you much notice in mainstream circles.
Also there would be more evidence of such a widespread event. Not to mention that if this civilization would've existed long enough to move out of a hunter-gatherer society - they would've left behind further evidence in the ground that a major solar or asteroid event wouldn't have been able to touch.
Human cities that sprung up in the Middle Ages have grown upwards by 5-10 meters on average due to trash.
The answer is that we're either not looking for it, or we're not recognizing it as such. Take the Clovis culture of North America. It was generally agreed upon that they were the first here, and nothing existed below the line where they found Clovis artifacts. So whatever was below that point was left undisturbed and the narrative continued, confirmed status quo. It wasn't until people began digging deeper did they notice there was more to be found, and now numerous examples of pre-Clovis artifacts have been unearthed. The narrative is now slowly changing but in mainstream archaeology, the Clovis are still considered to be the first...even though we now have proof otherwise. There are many cultures throughout history that we have literally no evidence for, barring one type of artifact, tool, pottery, etc. that were recovered. No settlements, no layers of midden, no documents or roads or human remains. They still exist, nonetheless. Iron and steel would leave no trace, a vast city of adobe brick buildings turn to dust and become buried in sand, roads disappear, objects and places repurposed beyond recognition, only certain well preserved items would leave anything for us to find and if you mistakenly attribute them to a later culture....you'll find literally no evidence of an earlier civilization.
What Ben is doing is exactly what you're wanting. He's simply pointing out that in order for archaeology as a whole to find more examples of such things, to answer these questions and make sense of what we have, these conservative individuals have to stop hampering the types of research and excavations necessary to prove such things. If you were labeled a pseudo-paleontologist and mocked in every journal possible for positing a theory that dinosaurs were wiped out by a comet, losing the support and funds necessary to find such proof, would you continue searching for an impact crater out of your own pocket? Would you drop the subject, or would you go broke eventually and waste your life being ridiculed trying to find tidbits of evidence? Keep in mind, that if you believe any of what Ben is saying here, you are being mocked by that same community for being so stupid as to believe in it.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I disagree with your premise that Clovis First is still the mainstream view of American settlement. It's obviously been proven beyond any doubt that several sites exist that predate it.
And none of these sites contain anything but the expected level of hunter/gatherer technology. So that's a rather minor change of archaeological history compared to the one yall are agitating for here...
Furthermore I believe you're equating the state of corrupt Egyptian and Middle Eastern dictatorships - with a lot of special interests to take into account, with the ordinary university movements of scientists and researchers.
They don't have the luxury of grand speculations, because that's not the name of the game.
I don't doubt that wonders could be unearthed if more focused work was directed towards f.ex. Egypt. But the nation is dirt poor and has a long history of not trusting Westerner' intentions toward their archeological heritage - with good reason.
I worked in Egypt and the ordinary man on the street believed the whole thing was created by God, dinosaur bones and all...
In summary - Ben and others are doing David's work, but Goliath ain't the establishment. It's the work itself...
Don't blame the establishment for not believing something that there is very little evidence and thus reason for anyone to believe in.
The focus becomes muddled and quite insufferably tribal.
seriously one of the most concise and logical explanations of the ancient technology we cant explain. Bravo!
