Nice one mate, love these types of tales about interesting parts of Liverpool, not from the city, but love learning about the place, some real architectural gems there!
What a great lesson, thank you very much, being a delivery truck driver i've driven down rodney st many times over the years and often looked at this grave site, it really is very striking as you see it, so now i know , Liverpool never ceases to surprise me great city and scouser's are fantastic people aswell.
That pyramid was put together by a master mason, the workmanship is excellent, it would be very interesting if possible to find out who built it. Just subbed as well 👍
I was listening to some music of Paganini on the radio 1990s, they had a little talk of him, he mentioned that cat gut is traditionaly used for the violin strings, Paganini said he did a deal with the devil & he said take your wife's life & use her guts as your violin strings & ill make you the best violinist in the world 😮
@@alexjohnson1612 I rest my case! (violin case), yes, animal intestinal lining and horse hair is used in some musical instruments. Never trust a violinist 😂
Thanks again, mate! This graveyard was well looked after years ago! MacKenzie was a civil engineer with offices in Liverpool and Paris and worked on a number of projects in Europe! That’s where he got all his money! His brother built his pyramid grave as a ‘tip of the hat’ to his many engineering projects! A friend of mine from college had a first floor flat in Rodney St. memories!! Maybe Macca used the name Father MacKenzie in the song ‘Eleanor Rigby’ because he remembers this grave name?? That one bird was making quite a loud racket in this video!
The bird wasn't making a racket, she was telling you to Like and Subscribe because I'm not going to say it any more :) I was very Lucky to get inside thanks to Tony the builder fella. It was a blessed day and I'm eternally grateful to you and all the other subscribers who got me to my target. Have a goodun mate.
Seems like freemasonry though... First few weeks in Liverpool (not from here, my family is from Baltimore, Maryland) a cab driver told me this very story! I've been wow-ing scousers with this local knowledge for years 😂
Excellent Vlog, OMG I have a story about that Grave. In our youth after college, every Thursday night me and friends about 8 of us would go to the Old State night club back in the late 80s before it got took over by the Acid house lot and it went down hill. My friend went out with a Girl who was a Goth but a lovely looking girl not one of the Vampire looking type but She wanted to Make out in that Grave yard. As a gang of 19 and 20 year old lads and girls we all thought it was Funny as hell and even now if some of us get together that conversation comes up. Keep up with the great work
I looked around on the web a bit, and it turns out that there are more than two pyramid tombs in the UK, and the vast majority of them are much steeper and pointier than the Giza pyramids in Egypt. Which leads me to believe that their original source of inspiration would have been a British visitor to Rome, who had seen the pyramidal tomb of Roman general Gaius Cestius, built in 12 B.C., which is 30 sq meters at its base and is 37 meters tall. A formidable tomb in other words. Gaius own inspiration for this steep pyramid design most likely came from his time campaigning in Northern Sudan, where in the city of Meroë he saw a number of steep pyramidal tombs. Interestingly, his pyramid lies along one of the walls of the Protestant cemetery in Rome, where both Romantic poets Keats and Shelley are buried. If you’re ever in Rome, I highly recommend a visit!
Hi @ScouseFarm I've just subscribed (woo-hoo) 🤣 Are you scared to fly since Covid? I ask as I'm now petrified of everything now since watching so much UA-cam and terrified to fly home to England 🏴 🇦🇺
@ScouseFarm Hiya 👋 I understand as I have an old dog and I made a commitment when he and his brother were adopted that this was a safe place. They were Heaven sent and adore them ❤️
I have always had chills down my spine when I ever went past there even in the day time. I definitely wouldn't want to live in one of those apartments, no way at all especially the ones overlooking that grave. That is the same story we were told when we were children. It is also said that he is sitting there with a hand that can't be beaten so when the devil goes there to collect he will already have an unbeatable hand.
Pyramids with missing capstone is symbolic. One on the dollar bill. especially with the all seeing eye in the capstone. I always thought it was masonic in nature.. Interesting tale
Many moons ago when I was a student I'd often walk past that moment on the way from Lime Street to see my then girlfriend who lived on the other side of Mount Street. I always wondered what the story is behind it. That whole corner of town feels full of history and mystery, you can sense it as you walk through the streets.
Could very well be one of those little areas of the city where some people get strange feelings when they walk past there. I nearly got a strange feeling when I tripped over one of the grave stones :)
I love the knowledge you have it's so refreshing ❤ sending love & posative energies from Amanda in Blackpool UK 💎⚖️ It's said the universe is 2 pyramids as above so below x
Wonderful info, and lays to rest (excuse the pun) from what I've understood about this Pyramid grave. I thought the myth was that his soul would be claimed by the devil once he was buried underground, hence he was buried above ground inside the pyramid.
Nice one mate, I'm sure the 'Legends' will live on but from what I could dig up ;) it's just another myth about a grave. The Dr having a heart attack after seeing McKenzie's Ghost is a different story, I won't be walking around in there at night that's for sure. Thanks for watching.
Great video mate. The myth was debunked as his wife outlived him and is also in there as well. Superb Ghost Story for the ages though. Thank you for taking the time to film this.
@ScouseFarm your welcome, keep your eyes open in charity shops for Derek Achoras book, (the flaky medium Laa) from around your way there is a section about the pyramid and grave yard.
England’s pyramid tombs were the product of ‘Egyptomania’ - the passion for all things Ancient Egypt that gripped Europe and North America in the 18th and 19th centuries. There's quite a few dotted about the country. They were regarded as an important part of the quest for eternal life, and were quite popular amongst the wealthy, who were basically importing the after-life beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
Yep, after the initial excavations in Egypt by the intrepid Victorians, many of the wealthy in the UK associated Pyramids with wealth and status etc. I'm sure it was basically an Armani Coffin with a Rolex inscription :) thanks for watching.
I've heard that that tomb has access to the Willamson tunnels, also many old houses on the Wirral with stone work, with dice or cards and all have in common with 'playing with devil' , what I found out from my own research years ago Into the Wirral houses. They all were members of the Theosophical society. C.S Lewis was a member. So was Arthur Conan Doyle , if you check his very early work he writes about a secret society. I think its an early Sherlock Homes story ( can't remember exact details) but Arthur left the society extremely disillusioned. I think he gave his options maybe clues in that early piece of work.
@ScouseFarm very welcome, it's actually a deep rabbit hole, Lord Leverhulme , was also a member and he was looking into many weird things , including why the world's population went down to around 10k, He was also very interested in the 'blue stones' as in same type at Stonehenge , followed the mystery up to a small fishing village up in Scotland, Where he also tried to commercialise the town against the inhabitants wishes. Not to mention what his company did in the Congo with his production of Sunlight Soap. Not nice. Anyway the Lady Lever Gallery on the Wirral , was their private collection. You should go visit and see if you can see the same connections with the collection and their obsession with the occult. Strange in what ways history reveals and repeats itself.
Just opposite in the terraced offices/houses was a basement taxi drivers Sauna, I think it was also an all nighter Sauna drinking spot. Im sure many blokes remember it. Cheers.
Brilliant. Thank you for this. How you can get a table on there to play cards, god only know. That’s fantastic all the same. I’ll have a look myself when I’m there. Eh, Do you know what happened to Rollo Street?
I’m sorry about that. I’d didn’t think you’d reply! I’ve just come back from the pub and I was looking for some interesting videos, as you do. Anyway, your video was fascinating. I think Rollo St is completely gone now. I think it was in Kirkdale off Westminster Road. My mother lived lived there with her parents just before the war. Short story, I think it was bombed to bits in Ww2 and then the bulldozers finished it off. Don’t let me send you on a pointless goose chase. I’m coming back on Friday so I’ll have a chat with my sister about it. There are so many brilliant places in Liverpool that you’re discovering and it’s so important they they get recorded as I guess they’ll all get bulldozed over the course of time. Many thanks. Dave. ❤️
There is a pyramid tomb simular to that on the Blickling estate in Norfolk. Main difference being it contains a whole family and is many times bigger. The public can walk to it via footpaths.
There may have been other pyramid tombs in Liverpool in the past in the Liverpool Necropolis. Wonder if there's any old photos of any? Victorians did seem to like to out do each other when it came to graves for some reason!
I didn't see any Pyramid Tombs in the Necropolis when I researched old pictures of it for my video. They did have some massive ornate structures in there, so it's a shame they flattened the place. Thanks for watching.
@@mooglesmodelrailways Some of the pictures of what it was like before they flattened it can be seen in the links in the video description. Worth a peep ua-cam.com/video/jdlxOBoX-D0/v-deo.html
I remember a small cemetery and chapel just off the heads of the valleys road, between Merthyr and Brynmawr (vague, I know) that was moved for road expansion about 25 years ago. The graveyard had a similar pyramid structure, and Ive forgotten who was buried there. Masonic, obviously, and must have been a vip from the time. Where the remains of the cemetery were re-intered, I have no idea. Anyone know any more on this? Id love to know.
Unfortunately our city is criminally neglecting housing and neighbourhoods, this is a private development entirely for transient students. Thanks for watching.
Would church records have the information about this pyramid ? The dates you gave I have surpassed looking into my Ansestey. In fact if the person is well known they are easier to trace in most cases, ? I wonder 🤔 Profession Frank Carlyle has information about this mystery? I will see what I can find out 😊
See what you can find out but it's St Andrew's Church so I imagine something can be found in their archives: www.lan-opc.org.uk/Liverpool/Liverpool-Central/standrew.html thanks for watching.
The mystery of McKenzie is in its self is fascinating concept and serves as a metaphorical symbolism for someone who saw the world as it is. In someway, we have all done dealings with the devil that’s what it is to be alive. It is in the embrace of unity, and the transcendence of duality that we defeat the devil himself through the realisation that the devil is actually us and so is Jesus (Metaphorically speaking) we are our own demon and saviour
I’ve heard both these stories before,but I heard the pact he made was . he was playing poker and the pot was very high and he said if he turned over the card he needed the devil can take his soul when he was dead and buried 6 foot under ! He was dealt the card and it was the card he wanted!!!! And he won thousands of pounds! He wasn’t a religious man but to be on the safe side when he died , he asked his brother that he should be buried above ground to cheat the devil from receiving his soul!!!! ( cos he wouldn’t be 6ft under ) And yes the doctor did see him wandering around the streets cos the devil could not take him to hell ! So he wandered around earth never to rest anywhere!!! And you can see him still around the Rodney Street area ,His face in torment .
No, that's just a myth that has been folklore since he published that book. The Tomb was put there 17 years after his death so he was already buried. Thanks for watching.
They are buried underneath in a convential manner if the inscription is correct. That will just be an ornate structure to show off some 'wealth' no doubt. Thanks for watching.
Does anyone know the reason for a pyramid structure being chosen or who built it ? Where were the bodies in the 17 years between death and internment in the pyramid?
@ nice video. I’d never heard of that before and I live in Warrington. There’s a whole bunch of streets named after Egypt here. All the rich victorians were crazy for the pyramids and all that.
William McKenzie (Railway Engineer) who died in 1851, and his two wives. And by the state of the Graveyard, there's probably a few Hedgehogs and a gang of Rats in their too :)
McKenzie engineered the once Lime St. To Edge Hill tunnel before it was dug out to the 4 lane cutting in 1881, there's photos showing the demolition of the last of part of the tunnel at the bottom of the cutting
I wonder if it is hiding an entrance to something, Pyramids in Egypt had hidden chambers so given that the Victorians were fascinated by Egyptology, and that it was erected long after his death makes me wonder if there is more to this. In a cemetery it would be convenient to have a secret tunnel entrance as not many people are about late at night in a cemetery lol my imagination running away from me but might be worth doing a ground radar pictures to see if there are anomalies around it. Where Time Team when you want them 😂
Also the reason it took 16 years is they probably had a fundraising to pay for it, it would have cost a lot of money, if he was a Mason, whatever his service to the organisation he was obviously well thought of, for such an opulent memorial to have been produced.
I know Liverpool has a lot of tunnels but as you said, this was put there 17 years after his death so it's likely to be just a monument that his brother thought would be fitting. There are a number of Pyramid Tombs all over the UK, so the Masonic and Egyptian influence was definitely popular at the time. Thanks for watching.
@@vfderby1027 No mate, his brother was incredibly rich as he inherited £341,841 in 1851 which is the equivalent of multi-millions today. There was no requirement for fundraising. His two wives are buried in there too, so it's nothing but a simple memorial to his family. Have a goodun.
@ Was his brother a Freemason ? Haha just had a thought maybe his ghost paid a visit to him too and his brother built the memorial in an effort to lay his spirit to rest 🤪
@ScouseFarm I found out some interesting stuff about him and he was friends with some very powerful people like Thomas Brassey who was linked to Isambard Kingdom Brunel who was a very famous Freemason so likely that he was too of some degree but he was atheist so unsure. His tomb was erected 16 years after his death, strangely? Maybe a posthumous type thing if you will? 🤔 the answer will be there somewhere, just not got the time right now to look more, but yeah, he was a very linked up individual indeed! Great and interesting video presented well. Thanks 👍
Screams freemasonry!!!
Possibly mate, thanks for watching.

Dark Masonic stuff that gravestone. Occult based no question.
Great channel.

Thanks my friend, I appreciate it.
Worm snake neck 🪱🐍👽 ends here 🧟♂️🌑🌪🕳(the pit)…
Theres one in Mortlake SW London too
Nice one, thanks for the info.
You’ve done it mate 👏
Thanks in part to you. Nice one mate.
@ScouseFarm all your hard work mate has paid off. Keep going 👍
I lived on RODNEY ST when I was younger and as a kid i always wondered what that pyramid was when we used to try and climb on it..Lols
It was probably a lot cleaner back then, like a jungle now :) thanks for watching.
Is there any mortar in the joints?
I'm not sure, if there is it's a very thin layer. Thanks for watching.
That’s one of the things that court my attention, very tight joints, and appears to have not suffered from any form of movement to the structure.
@@kevgeordie1 Don't get that level of masonry skills with new build houses 😂
Well done Liverpool - making use of all the unused properties in the city - other cities Should take note and follow in their footsteps.
Unfortunately our city is criminally neglecting housing and neighbourhoods, this is a private development entirely for transient students. Thanks for watching.

Brilliant mate i was talkin this story two days ago with a welsh person funny world
Nice one mate. Make sure you tell them to watch this video (and maybe subscribe) ;) Thanks for watching.
@ScouseFarm I sent it to them mate dont you worry
@@Gang-zy7lq Nice one!
Really unique.
Indeed, was a pleasure to see it up close.
There's a beautiful ghost picture that was taken right outside there
The Haunted story and the ghost of McKenzie still attracts a lot of ghost hunters etc, thanks for watching.
Another good one. Your right . Town's not Town anymore
Correct, thanks for watching
Would church records have the information about this pyramid ? The dates you gave I have surpassed looking into my Ansestey. In fact if the person is well known they are easier to trace in most cases, ? I wonder 🤔 Profession Frank Carlyle has information about this mystery? I will see what I can find out 😊
See what you can find out but it's St Andrew's Church so I imagine something can be found in their archives: www.lan-opc.org.uk/Liverpool/Liverpool-Central/standrew.html thanks for watching.
@ScouseFarm OK will do 👍
We, on Wirral call this, "Prince shaky shakes tomb"
I didn't even know it existed until I spotted an old video of it from 10 years ago. Thanks for watching.
The mystery of McKenzie is in its self is fascinating concept and serves as a metaphorical symbolism for someone who saw the world as it is. In someway, we have all done dealings with the devil that’s what it is to be alive. It is in the embrace of unity, and the transcendence of duality that we defeat the devil himself through the realisation that the devil is actually us and so is Jesus (Metaphorically speaking) we are our own demon and saviour
Thanks for watching.
One in Stirling too.
Yes, there's a few dotted about in the UK. Thanks for watching.
We have same like that pyramid in my town dharjaale Somalia 🇸🇴❤
Thanks for the info mate, and thanks for watching.
I’ve heard both these stories before,but I heard the pact he made was . he was playing poker and the pot was very high and he said if he turned over the card he needed the devil can take his soul when he was dead and buried 6 foot under ! He was dealt the card and it was the card he wanted!!!! And he won thousands of pounds! He wasn’t a religious man but to be on the safe side when he died , he asked his brother that he should be buried above ground to cheat the devil from receiving his soul!!!! ( cos he wouldn’t be 6ft under ) And yes the doctor did see him wandering around the streets cos the devil could not take him to hell ! So he wandered around earth never to rest anywhere!!! And you can see him still around the Rodney Street area ,His face in torment .
Luckily I went in daylight and he didn't 'have words' with me. I'm rubbish at cards so I won't be making any pacts :) Thanks for watching.
looks like there was a piece underneath the crest thats missing
It's not on the best condition which is a shame, I couldn't make out what was on the round green plaque either. Thanks for watching.
Isn't the inhabitant set sat at a table, cards in hand - acc to Tom Sleemans books ?
No, that's just a myth that has been folklore since he published that book. The Tomb was put there 17 years after his death so he was already buried. Thanks for watching.
OK, thanks.
It's a crashed drone from 1824!
Batteries not included :) thanks for watching.
On the pyramid is that two angels or something kneeling down at each end of the plaque.
I'm not sure what it was but I think there's other articles about the tomb online that show the plaque in more detail. Thanks for watching.
@ScouseFarm thanks for sharing great video.
Subbed 👍 👊
Nice one Poohbear :) welcome to Scouse Farm.
There is a pyramid in the mountains of Scotland and one in Ireland ?
Yes, there are quite a few in the UK of a similar construction. Thanks for watching.
Got a good one in Balmoral of all places....
Nice one for the info, thanks for watching.
It's me, I'm in their now, using next doors WiFi.
Well make sure you watch the ads, and don't be using ad-blocker on my channel ;) thanks for watching mate.
So if u knock down that wall is the body behind it in the middle or underground in a tomb
They are buried underneath in a convential manner if the inscription is correct. That will just be an ornate structure to show off some 'wealth' no doubt. Thanks for watching.
What is on the plaque images etc
All the information is in the video description with links. Thanks for watching.
They say you see the Dead before you Die yourself 😍
Hope I don't see any :) thanks for watching.
👍👍
Nice one, thanks for watching my friend.
Does anyone know the reason for a pyramid structure being chosen or who built it ? Where were the bodies in the 17 years between death and internment in the pyramid?
I'm not sure but I suspect he was theren already and the tomb was added later by his brother. Thanks for watching.
His pact was when he gets buried the devil will take his soul so he never got buried he’s sitting at a table
Oh well, maybe his Ghost will stop wandering the streets when he goes to rest :) thanks for watching.
👍
Thanks for watching.
Father Mackenzie
Lol I was always told the guy was buried sat up at a poker table 😄
Just a myth my friend but certainly a good story. Thanks for watching.
Aliens
As always :) thanks for watching.
@ nice video. I’d never heard of that before and I live in Warrington. There’s a whole bunch of streets named after Egypt here. All the rich victorians were crazy for the pyramids and all that.
Egypt 🇪🇬
You'll get to see inside soon if they don't do some gardening, as there's already plants growing in the brickwork.
Nature is taking over big time :) Thanks for watching.
Who’s in that triangle La
William McKenzie (Railway Engineer) who died in 1851, and his two wives. And by the state of the Graveyard, there's probably a few Hedgehogs and a gang of Rats in their too :)
AT LEAST YOU DIDNT FALL OVER TODAY FELA
I know mate, it was a bit scary because it was like a few graves had been dug waiting for customers :) Thanks for watching.
McKenzie engineered the once Lime St. To Edge Hill tunnel before it was dug out to the 4 lane cutting in 1881, there's photos showing the demolition of the last of part of the tunnel at the bottom of the cutting
He was certainly an interesting and clearly skilled character. Thanks for the info mate, and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the videos, please keep them coming
Grand master mason
Probably/possibly mate. Thanks for watching.
research the old world tartaria and compare the megalithic bhildings in your hometown to those in the world nd they are exactly the same architecture
Thanks for watching.
I wonder if it is hiding an entrance to something, Pyramids in Egypt had hidden chambers so given that the Victorians were fascinated by Egyptology, and that it was erected long after his death makes me wonder if there is more to this. In a cemetery it would be convenient to have a secret tunnel entrance as not many people are about late at night in a cemetery lol my imagination running away from me but might be worth doing a ground radar pictures to see if there are anomalies around it. Where Time Team when you want them 😂
Also the reason it took 16 years is they probably had a fundraising to pay for it, it would have cost a lot of money, if he was a Mason, whatever his service to the organisation he was obviously well thought of, for such an opulent memorial to have been produced.
I know Liverpool has a lot of tunnels but as you said, this was put there 17 years after his death so it's likely to be just a monument that his brother thought would be fitting. There are a number of Pyramid Tombs all over the UK, so the Masonic and Egyptian influence was definitely popular at the time. Thanks for watching.
@@vfderby1027 No mate, his brother was incredibly rich as he inherited £341,841 in 1851 which is the equivalent of multi-millions today. There was no requirement for fundraising. His two wives are buried in there too, so it's nothing but a simple memorial to his family. Have a goodun.
@ Was his brother a Freemason ? Haha just had a thought maybe his ghost paid a visit to him too and his brother built the memorial in an effort to lay his spirit to rest 🤪
@@vfderby1027 Stranger things have happened. Have a goodun mate.
Tom Sleman has a slightly different version of this tale
Yes, a few people have mentioned that he wrote a 'ghost' book about it. Thanks for watching.
So eine Pyramide gibt's hier auch in kesselstadt
Danke Mein Fruende :)
KLF
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha ha :)
That's no Giza pyramid.
It's just some geeza's pyramid.
This geeza has a Toblerone pyramid and it's getting nailed on Christmas day :)
😂 that’s no geyser it’s just some geeza… (like as in Yosemite or something 😂)…
£340,000+ then is equivalent to £60,000,000+ today. He was very wealthy indeed!
He must've won a lot of games of snap :)
@ScouseFarm I found out some interesting stuff about him and he was friends with some very powerful people like Thomas Brassey who was linked to Isambard Kingdom Brunel who was a very famous Freemason so likely that he was too of some degree but he was atheist so unsure. His tomb was erected 16 years after his death, strangely? Maybe a posthumous type thing if you will? 🤔 the answer will be there somewhere, just not got the time right now to look more, but yeah, he was a very linked up individual indeed! Great and interesting video presented well. Thanks 👍
That grave yard will be getting a car park around the pyramid when the building is finished let me tell you know
Shame it's been left like that but maybe they will sort it while renovating the old Church. Thanks for watching.
