Always a pleasant surprise when I see a video of yours posted..... I'm still trying to figure out if I can be a part of your Egypt trip later in the year
Yeah me too!
@@nicholasjopson7326 do you know where they might have more information about it posted?
I hope you both can come! adeptexpeditions.com/tours/egyptian-empire-egypt-tour/
Wow this channel has really grown. And rightly so. Here’s to another 200k 👍👍🥳
Thanks Dr. For a personal tour. I would be scared to go into any tomb.
Menkaure's burial chamber also has an arched ceiling.
Great footage!
Regarding the barrel vaulted ceiling, check out the central, Amun-Re Chapel, if you can get in to it (very crowded, with people queueing to get in there, last September), at Hatshepsut's Deir el Bahari temple
Amazing craftsmanship. I hope to see it in person someday.
Aliens, right?
No, it's always no...
You silly! The underground mole people of the ancient times are from right here! They aren't aliens! lol! Do your research!
DAS BESTE!! You rock, doc. I can't thank you enough for spreading the truth. (I mean.... I could make an attempt, but it'd get annoying to others, and you)
Excellent
Serious Indiana Jones vibes thanks to the hat!😂
Needs to be fairly wide brimmed yet small enough to fit in a car, and also fairly pale in color otherwise it will heat up fast.
Hi Dr. 🙏🏻 So what lights do you think ATG used to build them? 🙂
They had very shiny noses.
David I love your work, I would love to discuss an interview! March 4th I secured an interview with Dr. Zahi Hawass, I’d love to have you on as well.
Hi Daniel. Send me an email. My address is on my page.
@@WorldofAntiquity David thank you, I have just sent an email out. Your field work is absolutely fascinating. I’d love to make this happen. Best wishes
It's a sepulchre indeed!😮
Always enjoy your channel. Is it possible there was no lid as the sarcophagus and body were meant to be on display to visitors to the tomb?
Yes, exactly, worshippers were meant to visit him in his last resting place long after he died.
It's not a tomb and not a sarcophagus. It's designed for sound AND time within the eather.
To show that you would notice someplace out side what looks like a DNA double helix.
"G"hah Ghah 17th letter in the original ancient Hebrew (two letters where removed.) Means "Dark, twisted, rope"
WOW ,IT NEVER HAD ALID ,So much can be learned, this information may have a correlation someday 😊 , , ,❤
Senusret's mummy was very ambulatory, they didn't have the heart to seal him in. This is also why they slanted the top, it made it much easier to get in and out.
😊👍👍Thx
Cool
Wondering if it might have been for ceremonial purposes. Like an open casket ceremony before being moved to their final resting place.
Hi brother, requesting a video on Keeladi, Tamil Nadu - India, looks like archaeologist finding are started to date 2000 BC human civilisation.
I think Menkaure’s pyramid may also have an arched ceiling in the burial chamber.
Yes. One can find variations of the arched ceiling design in other tombs such as Menkaure's Pyramid or the tombs of Seti I and Ramses VI. The Pharaohs if they had the time and resources were always trying to "stand out" in some manner consistent with the styles of the time.
What happened to the alabaster table?
You see it at the end of the video
Is this older than king unas’s pyramid. Maybe when mentioning a kings name you could mention what dynasty he belonged to put it all in perspective. I mentioned king unas because I thought he had arches and was from the 5th dynasty. Great video as always!
More info is in the full video. This is later than Unas.
@@WorldofAntiquity copy that
How to keep people occupied and aimed at a cause. So much waste of effort and miserable misdirection. Seems like leaders are manipulative in any time.
By 'leaders' you're referring to Graham Hancock, yes?
@@chiznowtchNo, the pharoah🤣. Hancock didn't commission this tomb
What a simple, bitter attitude.
Stay off roadways- masses of people have been misdirected to make them.
Only live in what YOU can build- with what is on your property.
Only eat what is in your property too.
Put the phone down- unless YOU can make it yourself.
Dress yourself in skins from animals YOU have, or from thread YOU spun and weave into cloth.
Our combined strength is more than a sum of parts.
Absolutely not.@@chiznowtch
My comment nothing to do with my emotions or attitude. It's just simple facts.@@stripeytawney822
I thought the title said "graphite" sepulchre. That would have been easier to carve but also very out of the ordinary.
Nice video actually. People like to see the detail of these places. Something i feel has been intentionally avoided in the past.
THATS IT, ALIENS!
Plum line to measure and came up with 7 thousandths...skeptical. i feel this should be measured again.
It's a pretty good video, but honestly I stopped paying attention after 15 seconds because it didn't have that mysterious tiktok music playing.
Actually being serious now, congrats on going to Egypt, see as much as you can and stay safe!
😄
Within seven thousandths of an inch!?!?
Aliens for sure.
Critical takeaway here folks = a lack of purported "precision". In other words you can as shown in the video see whereby those nice smooth granite walls were actually only smooth = on the side showing. Remember this when the "alternative" fanboys speak of all the claimed precision of the pyramids.
Yes they were laid out carefully. Yet Khufu's say granite burial chamber more than likely as you see here represents granite blocks which were only polished smooth out on the inward facing side as the side you can not see is probably rough as you see here. The granite relieving chambers above that are even less finished representing rectangular- ish crude slabs of granite. They were never finished beyond enough to make them fit as no one was supposed to see them.
Go to the casing stones as another example. Look at overhead photos of Khafre's Pyramid taken by a drone as the casing blocks remain at the top. There again you see the exterior side and joints have been smoothed out whereas the interior side is rough - as with here.
Moral of the story: always pressed for time and trying to save effort and hence cost the Egyptians despite all their skill and achievement in actuality = "cut corners" whenever they could. They might have wanted it to "look nice" - at least at a superficial level - but they did not waste time trying to make "perfect" blocks in all cases = which is what you would expect if some supposed "advanced" technology was in use.
A lack of standardized sizes to make it fit with only partially finished surfaces is emblematic of individual effort - albeit certainly skilled. Hence they made the blocks fit the pyramid as opposed to making the pyramid from standardized blocks as would indicate use of tech. In other words we build a building from bricks of a standardized size indicating a fixed process of creation using molds etc. = something you do not see in ancient Egypt. What likely occurred is the quarries sent approximate chunks of stone which were finished to fit onsite based upon the final dimensions needed.
You're a blessing to this channel's comments
Ben would probably say that the Egyptians didn't have the ability to "cut corners". Therefore lost advanced tech was required for the perfectly precise cutting of corners.
Lay off the trang, get out of your basement, have some sunshine and get a life for chrissakes..😂
ok, who is going to fill me in on what ATG stands for here.
Ancient Technology Group
Industrial rice cooker. All the signs leading that way.
Way the squirrely hat ? 🐿,
Especially inside !
Worried about the sun getting in your eyes 😂🤪🙃
He keeps his whip in there.
Indiana Jones always had his hat on
Indiana Jones is a fictional looter.
I wonder how many people get Bronze Age caveman pushed onto their feed.
It was only off 7 thousandth of an inch? This had to made by those aliens who came through the Stargate 🙄🤪
Why don’t we refurbish ruins? Like we have evidence the people who lived in these places would refurbish temples and buildings every now and again, why not continue that tradition to keep the lm around even longer?
Fascinating.. Tell me, what is your opinion on ancient religions - such as found in Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Hellas & Rome?
The granaries of Ramses II present real barrel vaults. I'm not sure that what you're showing qualifies as a barrel vault having just 2 stones.
It's four isn't it? And I suspect it is four blocks with one "corner" carved, so not sure that really qualifies either.....but still very cool to see the general idea was there.
Definite alien architecture not quite fully polished off by the giant underground Lava Lava people. Who obviously couldn't quite fit into a human sized uderground structure. It's so obvious humans couldn't ever make such structure. And have you ever considered that the grave robbers might not be humans! The Giant Underground Lava Lava People eat gold for breakfast & leave Crystal deposits.
No, not Indiana Jones, Jones robbed and stole from ancient Egypt. I have to say this cuz it's what I think 1st after watching. Question: Can you tell me why no one robbed & stole & we have no record of it happening in Gobekli or Mesopotamia. Answer: Because there wasn't anything to steal. They were building mud brick houses in Mesopotamia & Gobekli, while Egypt was quarrying, polishing 2.5 ton average size limestone, building pyramids, and hauling multi-ton limestone 470 ft in the sky, THAT STAND OVER 5000 YEARS LATER. Barely ruins, mostly sand & clay left in Meso & Gobekli. Egypt has spoken, and Egypt says outloud to the entire planet, 'your all welcome,' & 'we're sorry we're not in Europe'
Thank you for this spectacular view & information you have provided us. I could only fantasize, the injustice photo & video provides in comparison to actually being there.
UNCHARTED-X & all the other so-called experts call this the work of lost technicions.
Hey, can you ask your experimental archaeology friends to recreate this box with copper saws, sand and dolorite pounders?
Why?
You know that the first rockets as an example were not very large. Yet based upon what was learned by those they were able to extrapolate the data to create huge rockets capable of lifting man into orbit and beyond.
What does this mean?? It means if you have data to support a concept which works then you do not need to "duplicate" everything. Today in some fields we have accumulated so much data that testing can be done via computer modeling = such that do you not even really need to build something to see if it works.
Moral of the story: we have sufficient evidence to indicate the Egyptians using the tools alluded to created these things. Hence as noted by others we do not actually need "to duplicate" that to show it works as the evidence already gives us that.
There are videos however which show said tools/techniques can in fact work stone. If however you wish to pay a craftsman to create you a sarcophagus using these tools = have at it - it's your money after all. We however already know this to be the case. This is the flaw in the "duplication" argument the "alternative" schtick perpetually screeches......
@@WorldofAntiquity Because it is easy.
@@N.Eismann That's not a reason. And it isn't easy.
@@WorldofAntiquityOh, so the Egyptians just perfectly slanted the bottom as a one off thing for months, because it was hard (and the other failed attempts were thrown away)?
The most interesting thing about this video was that you admitted no one’s got any idea of why it was manufactured precisely with a slope but then you claim it was for a dead body with its head at the top which seems ridiculous to me. The design of that vessel along with the chamber and connecting shafts would suggest a manufacturing process more than a tomb?
Ever watch an old Western where the bad guys are killed and placed in coffins which are leaned against the wall of the Sheriff's office for all to see. So the sarcophagus - and yes it is indeed a sarcophagus - with one side appearing to be higher than the other might be equally symbolic.
A pyramid was supposed to be symbolic of a "resurrection machine" whereby the spirit of the Pharaoh was converted to a God to rise up to the sky to join Ra - their supreme deity. Hence a "tilted" sarcophagus might show this resurrection in a symbolic way = the spirit of dead person rising up. _"Symbolism"_ was paramount to the ancient Egyptians.
I am not clear as to why you think the design of the vessel, along with the chamber and passages, suggests a manufacturing process.
@@WorldofAntiquity first of all the Designer architecture are clearly not for a burial ceremony I mean how are you getting the body down in there for a start and it certainly the granite contaner wouldn’t even fit an Egyptian burial with all of the layers around the body so it really is no resemblance to the actual burial compared with the later valley of the kings with the large entrances halls and rooms obviously built for a burial or storage. The reason why I would say industrial purposes fir pyramids is that the choice of stone for the different chambers and shafts, for example granite for strength and heat resistance at high temperatures, and other stones chosen for other industrial purposes such as sandstone and calcite for dialectic properties etc. Also the shafts and configurations point more towards using water from the Nile at the time. There are also pump shafts and satellite pyramids for those purposes, in the design of the original mastabas on top to keep in pressure and subsequently built even higher and heavier, to contain pressure and gas leakage. Very similar configurations to modern chemical manufacturing an apparatus so that’s why I would say along more evidence for industrial purposes then a burial or spiritual theory which seem to be the default of those who really don’t know what the purpose was.
@@adamerrington323 🤦Lay off the Tranq..... - trust me.
@@adamerrington323 I can assure you that a body would fit just fine in there, and there would be no problem at all putting one in there.
FYI, granite is not resistant to high temperatures. It weakens in regular fire.
And you clearly did not even look at the layout if you think that the shafts point towards using water from the Nile.
Probably had a wooden lid. I don't see how you can make that conclusion. This is what's wrong with classical studies. Way too many assumptions.
"Probably had a wooden lid." ... "Way too many assumptions." This was unintentionally hilarious.
Probable or possible? Also, he could simply mean "it may never have had a "stone" lid". The scientific method begins with assumptions, and that is only bad if one never adjusts a theory with later evidence and results. Nothing he says is set in stone, as he's stated multiple times. That is often the reader's interpretation projected upon others.
Probably...Well since it has been explored as well as renovated, you could probably do a bit of research and see if there were any traces of lid, wooden or otherwise. You are assuming an assumption in a youtube video and then projecting that assumption onto the entire field of classical studies? That makes no sense.
@@AveragePicker The tomb has existed for thousands of years yet you well meaning folks think Petrie was the first to enter? Not Ottomans in 15th c. CE? Not Persians, Romans or Greeks? Okay, sure.
@@llanitedave Exactly my point. My "theory" is equally plausible to the statement that it never had a lid to begin with. Yet because classical studies is a joke fake science filled with curruption, salted dig sites, and outright forgeries - we will never know definitively.
The sooner you realize that this is Ben Stiller pretending to be a historian, the better off you will be
If a comedian reads to you a paper written by a researcher about say the nature of black holes then regardless of the fact they happen to be a comedian = the information being imparted still originates from a researcher.........
Moral of the story: attacking the individual as "a foil" rather than addressing the information imparted simply shows others = you lack a credible counterpoint to what was stated.
