Hidden Secrets of the Bent Pyramid Seen for the First Time

- Go inside the Bent Pyramid where no archaeologist has gone before.
The Bent Pyramid has never been investigated properly, and is a woefully neglected monument. A unique feature of the pyramid is a 15-meter vertical shaft nicknamed the ‘Chimney’. This shaft contains special architecture sacred to the ancient Egyptians, but it has never been photographed or examined for the purpose behind the design.
This video takes you to the top of the Chimney to see the evidence for yourself, and perhaps restore the Bent Pyramid to its rightful place in Egyptian history.

This was a big one. Thanks to everyone who helped get us so far. If you become a channel member, you can watch the weekly livestreams I've been doing tracing the casing stones of the Bent Pyramid. Still chipping away at these mysteries, one block at a time.
These videos are always a treat 👌
Was disappointed you at no point talk laconically about a feature and then go "IT'S FULL OF BATS AAAA!"
Another great video. What do you think happened after Kufu for the abandonment of the chimney/niche? Did Djedefre's pyramid have a similar structure to Kufu or was it more like Khafre?
The best "deep diving" into some facts! Theories (and you stated some at the end) should be treated with facts and not assumptions. When I hear "It must" for me, it is an assumption.
"as someone wise once said, the map is not the territory"
You're thinking Alfred Korzybski and his General Semantics, great stuff
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really appreciate your dry delivery in all your videos. I miss old History Channel documentaries where it's some British guy regurgitating facts over black and white war footage. Very little editorializing or emotion to mix up facts. It means so much to me that people can still speak facts on what they're passionate about.
SAME!!!
Lol such an insulting compliment. I totally get it though.
That’s not a British accent. Its an American accent.
@ItsOnlyNiall he didn't say the video creator had a British accent 😂
@@terpynews5458 so it’s irrelevant to mention “I miss old documentaries with an old guy with a British accent!” Lol.
History for GRANITE's guerrilla archaeology is far more interesting than anything conventional I've seen in my lifetime
youre not wrong
Very true
Guerrilla archaeology is such a good term. Just as effective, too. I appreciate the care that was put into it, especially. No destruction or complexity needed to find new things.
Guerilla is incompatible with peer review.
@@HotelPapa100 how can it be incompatible with peer review, when it itself is peer review
what you reveal for the FIRST TIME EVER @ 25:00 is JAW-DROPPING....... I cannot believe this observation has never been made before, and cannot wait to see how this changes history.... BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
This is simply mind-boggling. How has none of the self-proclaimed egyptologists ever bothered to closely look at the bend?
That’s why no drones are allowed.
I had the opportunity to climb to the upper chamber of the Bent Pyramid a year ago. There were fewer than a dozen visitors, which made an awesome experience. Your observations and explanations make a lot of sense, and I wish we had this information before my visit. This would have clarified the confusing statements that the Red Pyramid was built as a replacement of a failed effort.
STEM field scientist here. Thanks for shedding some light on peer review for what it is. It's all just a club.
Peer review is us .. We are all capable of reading and understanding information and filtering out the facts from the speculation. To start to understand what a pyramid is and how it functions you have to read the ancient texts and try to get inside the heads of the people building them. They are literally "immortality machines" .. it's there in the texts.. It seems in some ways they have worked as intended because we know the names of their builders.. and while the name of a person is known they aren't really dead.. That's how they seem to have seen it. Add in the preservation of the bodies and what we know now about DNA and things and suddenly it's not quite so weird. If you are interested have a read of the story of Isis and Osiris and the birth of Horus.. then use your modern eyes on it.
It's mind boggling how the people "in charge" of these magnificent structures aren't foaming at the mouth daily at their unprecedented opportunity to examine it! It's like being the richest man on earth and not caring to leave your home town in your entire life.
Yes, even as a mere curiosity, [let alone to be a Explorer], that lives on in the Books of History, [or a Scientist]; that discovers truths that change, the lives of Mankind; would be nice; instead; (we here): no drones, no exploration, no Spectroscopy neutrino analysis, & no Billion dollar industry for Egypt? 🤷♂️
they obviously arent allowed because of the unwelcomed answers it may give
Academic arrogance seems to be the main factor here. No Egyptologist wants their theories disproven.
The questions and their answers(truths), scratch the surface of a very deep lie... People are greedy, and exploitative.
How do you know they haven't already?
This is an excellent example of historical architectural research, beautifully presented and very educational. Congratulations!
Sand blown dunes is an outlandish idea. Wind does not move rock and gravel.
It's a load of nonsense.
Guess he forgot to mention the huge penis standing in the door. Looks like part of the design until you look at the bottom step at the doors threshold.
If you know the story, this "white rock" is Eve's body, and they were using it to create lifeforms
Like us! Payback is coming 7 fold for them.
The big secret of the Bent Pyramid, is that the bent top is a copy of the Red Pyramid, on a 10 to 5.5 ratio.
The Red pyramid is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in cubits (x10).
The top of Bent is a 20-21-29 pythagorean triangle, measured in rods.
(The Egyptian rod is 5.5 cubits - the same as the Imperial rod is 5.5 yards.)
So the Bent Pyramid was designed and planned to have the bend on top.
This was not a mistake, or subsidence.
See ‘K2, Quest if the Gods’.

Fascinating as always HFG.. amazing to think we are still learning new things about these very old structures.. also well done on your channel some of your views are past a million, brilliant..
Quite possibly your finest work! Outstanding! 👏👏👏👏
you blokes are brilliant
This really deserves to be massively shared ! And maybe properly peer-reviewed one day or another
...when psychologiy-driven architecture will be more widely studied and applied to archaeology.
Like spirituality-driven architecture is at least.
Very interesting ideas, thanks for your work and passion !
Great video. Love how you take on conjecture and rehashed assumptions with hard evidence using the limited resources available to you. I hope you are granted greater access in the future to continue your analysis. Amazing work.
Wow! This has given me a fresh perspective about Egyptian archaeology and what they intended for the things they worked so hard to build. It’s time to look at everything they’ve built through a new lens.
Yes, we have to keep the possibility of things about the pyramids are probably a bit different than the common beliefs. Keeping an open mind and yeah revisit the research now we have a different view. So much yet unknown!
I agree. History For Granite is a level above the rest
Please read my comment above, there's possibly a simple explanation!
How did Egyptologists miss the clear change in angle carved into the casing stones themselves? That kind of willful blindness seems so unbelievable to me, not to mention utterly inexcusable.
Many things seem obvious once they're pointed out. Not all Egyptilogists study architecture, and even History for Granite just now noticed it, so I'd argue it is excusable.
That's all assuming it hasn't been documented somewhere. I trust this channel is diligent about it's research, but it's certainly possible someone mentioned it somewhere in some obscure text.
Lastly, perhaps it was observed but wasn't deemed noteworthy. If you did want to change pitch halfway through your construction, no reason you can't carve the angle into the stone. I'm more curious about the need to...Was the pyramid not level? Why not? Did a portion of it sink slightly? Etc.
@@rogerbabson7221please name some published articles or books that mention this carved angle. Thanks 🙏
Just like all Historians and Archeleogists: They don't want their world view shaken, they can't handle being wrong, so they close their eyes, ignore the obvious and remain dumb. Haven't you learned anything from Gobekli Tepe and how the Smithsonian Insitute or most so called "Scholars" acted, to the point were some claimed hoax because they couldn't handle being wrong?
@@rogerbabson7221 Could you link to a study that remarks on the uneven angle?
@@rogerbabson7221 It would be really helpful and support your argument if you included some links to the evidence you suggest exists. Thanks in advance for providing evidence, not random YT commentary.
Watch a couple of videos, congratulations on the excellent content, the quality really stands out. The information we can find out here is priceless. subscribed!
The bent pyramid is gorgeous, could you imagine how it must've looked after it was constructed? ❤
Well done, sir. Well done.
What you've done here is amazing. I wish to thank those that helped you get these photos and I simply could not stop smiling when you showed us such a destroyed stone still very much plastered to the wall.
This may be odd, but I couldn't help but think of the scene in Monty Python's Grail where the old man says, "but I'm not dead yet". That stone was not intended to lie down, yet it's been assumed to be a portcullis for a very long time.
This was well worth the wait. Very interesting theory and observational evidence that presents a compelling counter to the traditional narrative. I know of your disdain for academic Egyptology and publishing your work through this route, but this is seriously worthy of being presented in a journal and being discussed in academic circles. Outstanding work.
Well formulated and well delivered! Thank you for the hard work on moving real understanding forward.
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen, and just wow...I am amazed. From the research, to the 'get to the point' feeling you deliver..I loved it all.
It is a travesty how you have been treated. Your videos simply present information and make reasonable, conservative conclusions from them.
Any expert in should be happy to have people like you interested in their subject and motivated to examine the evidence.
History will recognize your achievement and contributions. It has been amazing to watch and I am psyched to see what else you uncover or deduce.
Absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on a truly wonderful achievement, and the logical, fact-based conclusions it has allowed you to draw. I really hope you and those who helped you get the credit you deserve for this brilliant discovery.
There is so much cleverly disguised humor here 😂 especially in the beginning. Then you address several very serious questions and observations. Bravo, thorough and beautiful presentation 😊
Terrific arguments! I too have always been nauseated by the "schlocky" docu-dramas. Well done!!
I am a person who must be doing two things at once, such as reading a book while watching a video, or working a logic puzzle while listening to a podcast.
Your videos make me put everything else aside while I focus all my attention on your presentations.
Bravo!
You can't read a book while watching a video. Unless you don't care about getting nothing out of either activity.
That observation of the angle change not being confined to a single course is the real clincher, to me. That does not fit with a sudden change of plans half-way through a construction project. That point where the two faces meet was chosen deliberately.
One could still argue that if a change of plans was necessary, should the aesthetics have been important enough, then it still made sense to cut blocks like that to "smooth" the transition. A closer investigation would hopefully yield more clues.
Honestly, it astounds me that such a basic observation is not already commonly documented, unless that is a failure of the OC to find such documentation (less likely imo but still). What other details could have been missed? Did the LIDAR scan fully document the exterior, and at what resolution? What about ground-penetrating radar and the such?
Actually, the "precision" of the coursework is cruder than most realize - it is likely the builders employed a level of sorts to sight the horizontal line across the coursework and adjust the angle to fit where ever it occurred or was necessary...
I always enjoy your videos. Such enthusiasm and insight on the mysteries of Egypt!
BRILLIANT! SIMPLY BRILLIANT!! Congratulations on both your discoveries and the contributions to humanity's understanding of these ancient wonders. Our world is enriched by your efforts.
Heh. Your not so subtle dig at "some powerful individuals in Egypt" is pure gold. The man is not camera shy - there are thousands of pictures and loads of video you could choose from - but that seconds long clip was PERFECTION.
Man, its been a long time since I'd poked around the inner chambers of the pyramids. I really appreciate the dedication for photographing the top of the chimney. I don't recall what I read about it back in elementary school 2 decades ago, but this was a delightfully informative video.
this very well done. you provide good information without needing people to be convinced!
At Gisa, some of the stone floor have cracks between massive stones. You can just keep pouring sand in them... it never fills up. On the other hand, ground penetrating radar scans, taken in several areas of Egypt reveals symmetrical structures (yes, also pyramids) still buried under the sand. Zahi Hawas has notably put a lid on anything that is new, and not censured by himself. Ben (unchartedX youtube channel) has also uncovered the existence of a palace under their feet while in Egypt. Why are there so many smart, interested individuals like yourself, barred from a full and rapid scientific exploration of a civilization(s) that spanned across antediluvian builders to Cleopatra? Science is a body of knowledge that is acquired in the pursuit of truth. Some people in authority are acting against science. Thank you for the excellent research you did! Cheers!
*Hawas has an ego bigger than the great pyramid.* He has done more to hold history back from the truth than the people slowly moving it forward with an open mind. As Max Planck famously said: _”Science progresses one funeral at a time.”_
There are many wonderful things awaiting to be discovered once he passes. This channel is a blessing against his dogma, propaganda, and closed mind / insecurity.
There is an agenda! HIS-STORY would have to be rewriting if anyone asks logical questions. Critical thinking isn't a Mandela effect
@@MichaelPohoreski You are so right Kind Sir. After the advent of Islam in the 7th Century, every single government and society there, has simply tried to hide the truth or schemed to fool the Scientific Community and the people as a whole. Zahi Hawass can be no different, after all he comes from the same powers that rule Egypt today. He has been in control for quite a long time being a minister for Antiquities Affair. He is no different from that Frank Monnier who notwithstanding his abilities, at best is a simply an Armchair Archeologist. Sadly these are the very people that simply kill the curiosity and interest of the people in history and archeology .
@@MichaelPohoreski I wonder how many unknown objects Hawas have in his private collection. Everytime something "new" was find it took years for Hawas to "investigate". That guy have probably robbed Egypt and the world over and over for decades.
This reminds me of those fancy writing desks with hidden compartments. For an outsider it looks like a writing desk, but to the owner it's a vault / safe containing his or her personal belongings, like letters and jewellery. And yes, these desks also had dummy elements built in to it, to mislead looters. Great video, HFG!
Brilliant one mate. You're videos are some of the most interesting, impartial, evidence based work on the pyramids I've ever seen, or read. Truly a joy to watch.
All of your content is amazing, and you've outdone yourself on this video. Thank you!
I’m SO glad you pointed out that the outer change in angle happens mid-block/course! VERY interesting! Purposefully no doubt.
YES!! I only found this channel a month or so ago but have watched all your videos already. I was always really interested in the pyramids as a kid who grew up in the 90s but all the quackery that has been shown on the History and Discovery Channels in the intervening 20ish years made me lose interest. Your channel has gotten me interested in them again and has given me great information without all the Woo-Woo of modern "scientific" communication (I'm looking at you Zahi Hawass and others of his ilk). I really appreciate it and you.
Hi 👋 I’m a 90s kid too 👍
@@sandman8920Hellz yeah! Made and born in the mid-80s; molded by the 90s!
God knows how much damage Hawarse has done to the field, the man is an arrogant criminal.
People always say Zahi is more concerned with tourist dollars than science. I don't think that's it, I think he's just got an IQ of 68. You see, in the arab world, inbreeding is encouraged and is actually the norm in society. As a result their IQ is so low the only industry they have is showing people piles of rocks.
@@charliecarpenter2840 I agree. Also, I see what you did there. ROFL
Kudos.
I thought hour videos examining the stone work “hiding” in plain site were excellent, but now you give us stonework that was actually hidden.
Wow, didn't know the bent pyramid slope had transitions in the middle of some casing stones. That is *amazing*.
Both chimneys centered in the pyramids middle apex suddenly gave me goosebumps...
Love your channel! Please keep producing these videos :)
I am a large fan of your content. Over all of your videos you’ve convinced me that your observation based theories on the pyramids are the most plausible in comparison to just about everything else out there currently. That being said you never fail to mention your frustrations with academic egyptology. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the majority of what you have to say on the topic but I’m curious as to why you haven’t published yourself to help set an example in making a change in these common held views in egyptology (or atleast set a foundation which others may build off of). I’m really grateful you make this stiff for us because its genuinely cool, but more or less as you’ve said, the only way deeper studies can take place at these monuments, especially ones utilizing modern technology, is if the egyptologists evolve to want that. As I see it, as someone familiar with the field of archaeology, I suspect part of the reason they’re as dismissive of new players doing research on these monuments as they are has to do with decades of combatting pseudo science has taken a great toll on them (acknowledging the few outsiders who make great points is unfortunately viewed as acknowledgement of the entire pseudo science community by said community since they see themselves as coming from the same background). I’m curious to know your own thoughts on having your own work peer reviewed so it can have its legitimacy firmly established in academia?
Maybe he has published we don't know
Indeed. I think his study of the casing stones and implications from there about ramps for example very much deserves publication. As does really this chimney study.
Another video well done. Thanks for the extra effort to get those pictures.
C'mon, be real. Academia is not objective. Its ripe with favor, abuse, privilege and at the mercy of the snob club. Even Einstein's Paper on Relativity was snubbed for years because he was not in the club. If objective fact as merit was academia's currency, you would have a point. But its not. We live in a new world, science is no longer gate-kept by the stratospheric snob club of traditional academia. What is going on right here on UA-cam is amazing! And it is only possible, because our friend here does not have to kiss the ring or be banished. He could publish. Maybe it moves the needle. But, I would not hold my breath. Egyptology is one of the most corrupt disciplines Ive ever seen.
Einstein, despite many criticizing his theories, still followed the scientific method and published his works. Theories that the science community couldn’t shoot down. Those scientists might not have come around to general relativity but the next generation's sure did. And the reasons those scientists got anywhere is because they had Einsteins work as a verifiable foundation. I take no comfort in the fact that archaeology and especially egyptology are being held back by gate keeping. But change will come as it always does, no one lives forever and their ideologies with them. The old guard can be replaced by near clones of themselves, or maybe their successors will be different because the works they built off of disagreed with each other.
Found your channel about a month ago. Cant get enough. Keep up the amazing work.
Another banger. Always so well done dude.
I didn't know I was interested in this stuff until I randomly watched one of your videos a few days ago. I like your straight forward presentation style.
I really appreciate the straight knowledge you give out no extra frills or loud ass music covering the narrative it’s seriously perfect please continue the great work you do cause I will always consume the content you put out thank you 🙏
Very interesting points you make deserving of responses from Egyptologists. I was taught in my undergrad degree that the Bent pyramid was an engineering mistake. What you've showed here casts legitimate doubt on that theory. The fact that the change in angle can occur in the middle of a casing stone block is very interesting.
Since the casing stones were the last thing on, wouldn’t that be normal that the change in degree be applied at wherever it happened to align on the casing stone?
One of the things that most amazes me is how varied the pyramids were on the inside. Yeah, there was variation on the outside, too, but that was more subtle.
I was there with my son in 2019. He went to the Bent Pyramid and I went right next to it in the Red pyramid . It's a life changing experience if you ever have the chance to visit , I would do so and would go again in a minute . Thanks
Excellent once again! Your analysis and contributions to my overall understanding are unrivaled. I appreciate the time and dedication you have to your channel and content.
This is excellent work! While we cannot be entirely certain of the minutiae, we can be certain that while “mainstream” refuses to properly examine evidence they will always miss the mark! Thank you for the time and energy that both you and your colleague on the ground have put into this discovery! This is the REAL work, and I salute your efforts to produce credible and verifiable information about a cryptic and mystery-shrouded aspect of the ancient world.
This was amazing! Seeing actual pictures from within the pyramid and the explanations for it was thrilling. Keep up the great work
I was having a rough morning and listening to this got my mood up to get my day going. Thank you
It's nice to hear that I've improved your day.
I like the acoustics you settled upon for the last couple of videos. Sounds more than a little bit like you're talking to a camera inside a pyramid for a 90s documentary, to contrast with the acoustically dry, up-close mic recordings of earlier videos. Just know that at least one person noticed and appreciates that subtle detail.
If there's one person who possesses the gumption to simply ignore this bombshell, that would be Hawass. Ignoring discoveries not made by his own teams? It's his trademark.
Some of the best work on the pyramids is being done right here on this channel! Well done sir
I've enjoyed your channels for many years. You always ave a way to make one think. Thanks.
Good job. Thanks for the pictures and the analysis.
Great observations on the bent pyramid. It is a shame that Egyptian enthusiasts may be blindly dismissed by degreed subject matter experts with published papers that pass peer review. Large scale collaboration and a willingness to listen to evidence and consider it to help hone historical truth should be the goal of all archaeologists. Another great video and thanks for sharing
Great video. I don't understand how any modern person could call the Bent Pyramid a failure- it's obvious it wasn't thought of that way from the amount of resources put into it after the change in angle. Whether they changed the design while building, or not, doesn't matter. I work in construction, design changes that happen during building lead to a successful project, IMO. Dude could have been like "I want a mini pyramid too" "All our workers are on the big one" "Is there any way we could free up resources from the big one? It's plenty big already.." I see no 'failure' which ever option one may believe.
edit: a word
There's another detail that links the chimney to the queen's chamber niche: The chimney continues downwards for several meters (beyond the lowest point in the pyramid?) although it's filled in and I'm not sure if it was ever fully explored. The queen's chamber niche also has an excavation into the floor in front of it. I don't know why the excavation was made there (did looters dig there as well?) but it seems suspicious, especially after watching ancient architects' video on seven mysteries of the great pyramid. He makes a good case for this excavation to be reopened, and if your hypothesis is correct then the lower chimney should be as well. There may be evidence confirming the connection to be found. Thank you for a wonderful video, keep up the great work :)
Exceptional work. Your work is balanced and well thought out. Keep it up.
Great video. Has anyone ever measured the distance in % or in actual feet/meters/cubits of where the bent pyramid bends, and compared it to the point where the great pyramid goes from large stones to distinctly smaller stones. There appears to be a line across both pyramids at about the same level, defined by the bend (in the bent pyramid) and the stone change in the great pyramid. I have noticed that the % of area dedicated to below ground, from ground to~30% above, and then the top % above the bend/line, seem uniform. (Gods of the underworld, Gods of the earth and Gods of the sky) each getting a % of the pharaoh's monument dedicated to them, to link him to all the Gods. Many polytheistic, ancient religions take great care to pay homage in all offerings to all the gods and not risk upsetting any of them. Has anyone ever considered the constructions in this manner?
interesting take, i hope someone looks deeper into this.
I will answer this, since it is quite easy to look up this information... The change in angle of the bent pyramid occurs ~47 metres above the ground. However, the "point where the great pyramid goes from large stones to distinctly smaller stones" that you mention does not exist. You can easily find images on Google which show the height of each course and there really isn't any one special place where it changes. Rather there are *several* places where the layers become slightly thicker than normal for a few courses before returning to normal. These thicker courses occur at heights of roughly 17m, 30m, 38m, 70m, 77m, and 90m. None of these match with the 47m from the bent pyramid. The horizontal lines you can see (when the light hits at the right angle) on the Great pyramid are basically these areas where the course thickness is different. It's hard to make out but there could be a pattern to it, reflecting some structural thing, though I don't have any explanation for that.

I follow this channel quite a while and I’m amazed by your passion and enthusiasm on this hunt for answers. This new episode is a pinnacle, a masterpiece … thank you so much and keep on the good work. You’re a hero to me and others and as such you deserve much more acknowledgment for your hard work. Best regards from Germany
Big hugs from bohemian forest
Thank you, this is fascinating. Your mention of incense makes me wonder if the chimney was, in fact, a sort of chimney where smoke would ascend with the warmed air in the direction of the upper chamber and collect there instead of filling the stagnant lower chamber. Maybe it is for theatrics, like a stage set. That would fit with your idea of a space designed for use. I wonder if modeling the space with a heat source where the incense was found might produce some interesting air-current effects, maybe involving the window.
Just stumbled upon your channel and really enjoyed this video!! Off to watch some of your other videos now :)
Interesting! Thank you, again, for all the hard work you do in bringing us real findings around Egypt. A great discovery documented, and free for all to enjoy. Remarkable find, HfG. Love your research! 💖
Truly amazing work as always. Had to crack open a bottle of my finest bourbon for this video :)
Always a pleasure to see you’re enjoying the work.
Beer here! I'm on #2 in my Saturday off. Trying to get motivated to do some laundry but nope, I'll watch this instead. Lol
This is the biggest crock of bullshit I’ve ever heard. The Egyptians, a.k.a Kemetites were Black people that built every pyramid obelisk and Temple On this planet. Get over yourselves.
Another great video, I have been there time in the Air force and love just standing there and looking at the Pyramids.
First time watching one of your videos, and I must say that you present your arguments with logic, evidence and facts. Beyond reassuring that people still do that! And thank you for opening my eyes to something that, since childhood, I regarded as a broken, or practice monument.
been following your channel from day one. arguably one of the best on the subject for viewers with inquisitive minds.
Woo-hoo! I was so happy to see a new video from you today! An early Christmas present to be sure. Awesome and informative as always. You never disappoint. Presuming you probably won't post another video until January, I want to wish you and your family a merry holiday season and Happy New Year.. Looking forward to another successful year from you in 2024!
Best History channel ever! I love that you always back up your theories with relevant evidence! Thanks so much for all your hard work! Cheers!
Great video ! You have definitely done your research . You have given us a perfectly plausible answer .
Quite possibly the most insightful research on Bent Pyramid one can find on the internet, by a long shot. This applies to all videos from this channel, they put mainstream interpretations to shame. Well done HfG and thank you for sharing this.
Great video as always. And great to see high res photos of a previously unseen feature. It seems that most, if not all, of our knowledge of the Pyramids comes from the work of interested amateurs rather than professional archeologists. And that's really weird. The work that you've just done is a classic example of it. Sending a camera up that shaft is a trivial task, and yet none of the "official" people ever bothered to do it. Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next installment.
I really really enjoy your videos. Just found them. Hope you continue them.
I put off watching this for a few days until I could focus 100% on it. It is absolutely outstanding stuff. I agree with Matt AA that this may be the best video yet (although the casing stones one comes close).
Keep fighting the good fight, as they say.
Cheers
Sean
As always, well presented and researched. Thank you for the the work you do to bring us the true interpretation.
so good to see you back
Great as always! That‘s exactly it: Every amateur - in the best sense of the meaning of the word - everyone who loves this giant structures knows for sure that there is more to know about them as the always same stories we amateurs are told by the egyptologists stars on history chanel. - I love your content, thanks ❤
Finally....An Egyptian video I don't fall asleep to!!!!! Oh no, I feel a binge watch coming on....History for Granite Ima have to slap you a good one cause now I'm up all night watching your content!!! LOL. And YES, I did sub! LOVE IT!!!
me up all night
Always a great day when I see HfG posting a new video!
Always excited for a new video!
Lots to say:
1. Love your channel. 2. Historically top notch. 3. ASMR! I listen almost every night. Thank you. 4. Find a general place for general discussions. 5. Who are you? Interested in your background. 6. Suggestions, the Nile has to be filled with countless stones and obelisks that capsized during delivery. A show about How they delivered so many million tons of rock sometimes 500 miles away.
Sure building the pyramids was hard but moving the rock 500 miles is a story unto itself.
I'm no expert, but you come across as more credible than the well-known media types
Well done, the experts have certainly been taking history for granted.
For granite?
Have no idea how you did it, and hope you can continue. It's not "standard tourist equipment" but one low tech method to get your high tech elevated would be a helium balloon. It could also work outside, depending on the weather. Since photographers can't use tripods there, and drones are forbidden, a balloon has zero chance of hurting anything it it fell or collided with stones.
A sizeable helium balloon, a very light camera and LED light, batteries and a fishing rod strung with very light conductive wire are all standard tourist equipment, aren't they? I know I take them whenever I'm on holiday.
Absolute madman! This video was extremely interesting, probably your finest work to date. Your findings are utterly incredible.
extremely well thought through - brilliant piece of work
Clear, concise and logical. Everything that Egyptology is not. Great investigation as usual.
I have to think about the effort that looters made to climb up and attack that upper block and only giving up having destroyed most of it. Of course it's impossible to know how many looting expeditions were made over time. The first robbery may have been easy and fruitful and the many other attempts later on destructively explored around finding nothing or could it be that the first looters didn't find what they wanted where it would be expected and explored every possibility?
I think for pyramids, the first looting pass made the overwhelming majority of damage. If it’s already been plundered, there’s not much incentive to try that much harder to find things.
If the pyramids have been looted what things would have been in them to take? I can't imagine anyone going to all that effort to steal a skeleton
@@HistoryforGRANITE I can't help but think that. The first looters always seemed to know where to go almost exactly. The connecting corridor by the builders or the looters?
@@HistoryforGRANITE I disagree.
To me, the looter that just destroy the walls in search of treasure are latter thieves, drawn in by the myths and legends of the pyramids, when there was already nothing left. Even if you think there is still treasure left, if you already got some easy to get treasure, you will not spend days chiseling inside a cave in full darkness to get just a bit more, you will sell what you have and live the life of luxury.
But if all the easy to get treasure is already gone, then you chisel to get the scraps.
I had the same thought. I would love to see a modern day movie or a series about ancient looters. WIth al of it risk vs reward. Or about the construction of a pyramid itself. I think those backdrops could provide for some really interesting stories.
A breath of fresh air to an age-old problem, this presentation was enjoyable and riveting .
I am once again amazed at the discoveries you present and the hard work and insights you provide! It does make me wonder what you (and presumably others) would accomplish if proper funding, access and cooperation were made available. Thank you!
I really appreciate your presentation of what you see in the granite ( stones). It’s such a pleasure to be presented with facts and not wild speculation, we don’t know many answers to the pyramids and may never will. I have designed and built machines over my working life, it’s been fun to see people study them on completion and come up with wild and incorrect speculation about what the purpose is. That was within weeks not thousands of years. We don’t fully understand the religious rites of the time so how can we understand the building.
Good point. We also don't understand the technology of the time, so your argument also supports the idea of a practical purpose.
@@emrysmcwryn7902 what are you talking about? we understand the technology of that time...unless you're one of those who believe in ancient lasers and alien builders nonesense...
@@emrysmcwryn7902 No it doesn't. You need evidence that positively supports an alternative use of the pyramids. Poking a few holes in any established conclusions and pointing out lack of evidence regarding some pyramids doesn't give you that.
I'd also argue that not fully understanding the methods of the builders is not the same as not understanding the technology, which we do.
Great content. Accessible pyramids is something I theorized about too. The entrances were predictably placed and it was certainly not a secret. Even if we look at famous mausoleums from the modern era, they are built in such way that they can accommodate visitors though not all areas are accessible to the public.
I do enjoy a solid scientific smackdown :) Love your channel !
You and Richard Dean Anderson
are my favorite pyramid experts.
Finally! Awesome discoveries. Thank you for presenting real facts that are conveniently ignored by lazy archeologists and pseudo scholars. The ancients would not have continued with this pyramid if it had been an error. The amount of resource would not have been wasted. All of it was intentional.
To someone else's point. I appreciate the lack of fanfare and outrageousness that is so thick in anything involving the Egyptians. Just well thought out and evidence-based theories that don't state themselves as facts. Thank you! You've earned my subscription and I've just gone down the rabbit hole that you dug and I look forward to spending my Saturday doing it❤
Thanks for not mentioning UFO’s or Anunnaki’s at all . As soon as that stuff is brought up ,I tune out .
Excellent work .
Imagine the treasures Zahi has hidden in his basement? Lol 😉🤣. Cheers. Love your videos.
