The pyramids of Giza were industrial scale chemical plants. The volume of the inner chambers gets smaller as you get higher up. Lower chambers would be flooded with water to force gases up into higher chambers. When you decrease the volume of a gas, you increase its temperature and pressure, and this facilitated chemical reactions. Makes sense that there would have been a way, by design, to relieve the pressure from the system to halt chemical reactions inside the pyramid. The pyramid also made of limestone, quartz granite, which are dielectric materials, capable of storing electromagnetic fields from the telluric currents of the earth, utilized to attract lightning strikes, to further facilitate chemical reactions. Ancient Egyptian obelisks were the tallest structure around to protect people in the city from the lightning strikes they were attracting.
Zahi Hawass and the Egyptian authorities are probably only releasing this to the public now because the pandemic killed the tourism market and economy in Egypt
Thanks for throwing us this little bone. Can’t quite get excited seeing as how they know about the vault under the Sphinx’s paw but do nothing about it. Zahi actually tried to debunk it by looking under the wrong paw. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
So the sensors got the picture that there is an empty corridor, which might release pressure from the chamber below. But if there is a chamber below, why didnt the sensors show that as well?
because the head Egyptian archeologist doesn't believe in imaging technology to show the unknown. he denounced everything about not knowing about it when graham hancock questioned him about this chamber 15 years ago
because they're fighting to protect the narrative that these structures were built by primitive people who lacked the tools, mathematical knowledge, who knew nothing about the size of the planet, the 4 cardinal points or the fact they placed it in the exact center of all of the landmass on the planet Earth. Primitive Egyptians with no knowledge of Pi, The Golden Number and copper tools.
Simple, Egypt cannot afford any doubts about the fact tha they are perhaps built by someone else, not Egyptians, so they do their worst to make it as difficult as possible to bring any doubts up. There's been so much sabotage done by officials in Egypt that I'm surprised even this is happening.
1 - it is absolutely an important discovery. With that said. Naturally Egypt - which heavily depends upon tourism - will tout this discovery to gin up interest. 2 - look at the rough nature of the corridor + its peaked roof + its location above the main entrance. 3 - we see in other areas of the pyramid that the concern about possible collapse was paramount. The Grand Gallery as an example is corbelled to help it withstand the weight of stone above. The King's Chamber area is made of granite + it contains relieving chambers above it also made of granite. 4 - further those relieving chambers above = also have a peaked roof. The reason is to "shunt" the weight above towards the sides away from the chamber below to minimize the chance of collapse. Conclusion: the assessment thus far of this representing a weight reduction area to shunt the stress of the weight above away from the access corridor below is the best explanation. Just look at the angled chevrons above the main entrance on its exterior facade. If that changes with further study - fine. To date however it is the mostly likely explanation. If a corridor to somewhere = why was it not finished as you see with other corridors within the pyramid itself??? 🤨
Facts! The white man been cleaned this place out , the Egyptians are just using this to get people to come and tour something we’ve already seen a million times
Tourism roughly 10% of their GDP, in the USA, tourism is 7%, Italy 9%. Ive been on a vaction to Egypt. Its okay. Wouldn't go back so I am not sure about your 1st theory.
@@barryryan14 Egypt is a poor nation. Several years ago they merged their Dept. of Tourism with the Dept. of Antiquities. They have had to borrow money and fundraise to try to finish the new Grand Egyptian Museum as an example. So tourism plays a large role and they subsequently try to encourage it at every turn. Tourist sites must be maintained and renovated at times. It took them 14 years to repair Djoser's Pyramid despite its cost being relatively low. Tourism dollars are critical to maintaining what is there.
I disagree that this small void is a relieving chamber. It's simply too small, and I would not say that this is the most probable explanation. However, I do not have an explanation of my own, I just haven't thought about it very much.
Hawass favorite thing is keeping things hidden not to mention keep anyone who doesn't think how he thinks from examining different sites because he has a tiny mind
They will never tell us what they find.....they just said that area is designed to release pressure to something below it.. we will never know...just king tut's tomb closed off when the discovery of another room behind a wall..
The most fascinating part of this is that, unlike most of the corridors and chambers found so far in the Great Pyramid, the walls of this corridor are not straight and smooth: That could indicate that its purpose is quite different from the other areas of the Pyramid. Could it be that the builders never expected anyone would ever be able to gain access to this cavity and therefore did not see it as crucial that the stones be worked on longer to make the walls of this corridor as straight as the ones which were clearly expected to let people in and out of the pyramid? If so, what was the purpose of making a cavity within the other wise filled pyramid? (Sadly, it might indicate that there are no true "Treasures" hidden anywhere near it since such treasures are usually left in such structures in rooms and corridors that honor a person or a god, so the lack of attention to detail in that corridor doesn't show much respect for anyone -Yet but another one of the many mysteries of ancient Egypt which the discovery of raises more questions than it answers!)
'More questions than answers '- Exploration of this single pyramid is not likely to be completed soon -( problems of too many experts spoiling the broth is also always there - i.e , destructing the structure ...).
I think it is a major key to unlocking the pyramids construction. Possible internal ramp leading up to the top of the chamber with the massive granite blocks
Yes it's a relieving chamber, that's why the stones are unfinished, and the roof is pointed because it has large chevrons above. The reason why the cavity ends after a few meters is because it starts going upwards diagonally above the grand gallery to the 40m long void that was detected from scans.
Its designed that way so that sounds waves bounce back at a very particular frequency thus amplifying massive amounts of energy out the top and into the atmosphere, perhaps another pyramid.
search "malanga Synthetic Aperture Radar Doppler Tomography" you will be in for a nice surprise, the complete tomography of the pyramid reveals much more than this measly tunnel
The pyramids were never tombs. They were used to harness/produce energy. That’s why you can find pyramids all over the world. please understand this and do some research
The most ironic thing about this video is them saying “As Technology Advances..” Yet, who was MORE Advanced… US Or the Egyptian’s who built those pyramids..?
Egypt blocked research into the pyramids for years because they knew Egyptians had nothing to do with them. The pyramids predate Egypt, now that it's pretty much common knowledge, hopefully the Egyptian government allows more research like this.
I’ve always been intrigued, absolutely mind-blown of the precision, vast mysteries of the pyramids. Stones used from quarries 500 miles away, multiple tons in weight, put into ceilings on the pyramids is just insane. The measurements from bottom to top and cannot be replicated today.
I want to add more. If the shape, size, and trajectory of the entry corridor is projected into the pyramid as if it is a straight corridor, where does it intersect? Anybody look at that?
I always find it so interesting when they “find” something new but I feel like Zahi Hawass Keeps or holds back information. Like someone else said to keep tourists popping & all but I always see him as mean or rude whenever he’s asked stuff or something
I've spent my whole life interested in the pyramids. Finding this out has made me give up. Each pyramid should have been thoroughly walked thru by now.
Just imagine, you deid and your family put your beloved things, memories and jewels with your body. And after 7000 yrs someone digging your grave, stealing your things, and put even your body in a museum!
Nobody has ever credited the looting Egyptians for removing all the white marble from the facade of the pyramids. That in itself must have been one giant undertaking.
@@cureit9161 It has never been found any mummies in the great pyramids of Giza nor inscriptions of any kind which sparks a lot of different theories as the true purpose of this wonders. There's so much we don't know yet about the ancient past.
It's not a new discovery, but it's the first time we can see inside. If I'm correct about its purpose that it will drive Zahi Hawass mad, as is just looks a corridor with no chambers attached to it. They do really need to re-think about the pyramids as the so-called experts have got them wrong, they don't want to admit they haven't got a clue! This man-made structure, is amazing once you understand how it works.
I have personally seen Zahi Hawass's personal collection of Egyptian antiquities he's collected while he's been overseeing these excavations. They're quite breathtaking!
The fact is, nobody knows that the pyramid was built as a tomb. No hieroglyphs. Nobody really knows who built them, how they were built, or what they were used for.
Or when it was built, they only guess the age and admit to in a metaphorical fine print, carbon dating only works on living matter which stone itself is not, meaning it could be much older then the matter found present near and within the site. Civilizations have fallen and rose around these pyramids, so much activity throughout all known history theirs real no way to accurately date it by radio carbon. Robert Shocks understanding of the sphinx water ersosion was the closest thing we have to dating any thing in the giza plateau valley honestly
@@gilgameshtheimmortal369 Agreed, and it seems like the one Egyptian expert that seems to be their spokesperson, his name escapes me, seems to have an agenda….not really seeking the truth.

@@user-us3xi7se5b Or what isn't going on! To me, that's a sign that they don't want to lose control of discovery. They are in control of all things Egypt and then some of everything else. Discovery requires freedom from deception and/or covit.
How come there is not one gliff telling us how the Pyramids were built, why and it's purpose, this latest chamber confirms the Pyramids were not monuments for the dead!
That is weird. You'd think, being the most majestic structures ever built, that the builders would've gone out of their way to tell everyone about them. It's really, really strange.
I think it's because it was so obvious to them how to build them, they didn't feel the need to write it down. Like if 4,500 yrs from now mice have long been extinct, they find a mousetrap. They would wonder how and why it was built and what it's purpose was. Also, they may have written it down. Just hasn't been found yet.
@@ge2623Like, recipes that call for chicken eggs. It says "eggs", but it'll only specify if it's NOT chicken eggs, like emu or duck, etc. It's just known and understood that chicken eggs are the standard for a lot of cooking and baking, and no one ever reminds anyone. Lol
What you really want to ask yourself is why if these are so-called Egyptian pyramids then why are there no hieroglyphics or bodies found in these supposed tombs? And if the Egyptians didn't build them and only repurposed them.. then what was the original use and why are there parts of the pyramids on the inside that are destroyed but clearly not from repurposing the materials? The famed egyptologist zahi hawass admits that he wants us to keep guessing because it drives tourists to them.
If you look at the released images it seems that there is a lot of "digital artifacts" at the end of the corridor, like the image has been modified. Maybe to lighten it up? Maybe something else?
Traveler to Pharoah, “ Nice tomb you have here. When the time comes, you should be able to RIP, peacefully!” Pharaoh to traveler, dumbfounded, “ What this? This has ALWAYS been here, was built by our ancestors’…. ancestors. Building my tomb down there…. in the Valley of Kings.”
And more plausible that is a civilization before the Egyptian. Consider there are no documents on how the pyramid were made and that the Egyptian actually originated from the civilization of Atlantis. Cool fact Atlantis was actually an empire like the Roman Empire that stretched out many lands and cities. But the city of Atlantis was considered the capital. And the Egyptian migrated to modern day Egypt when Atlantis was destroyed.
Imagine all the absolutely fascinating and beautiful things we could know, see and experience… if only Zahi wasn’t in charge of stifling reasonable research and dismissing so many factual people. You know they’re the most respected and mysterious structures on the face of this planet when they’ve stood there for multiple millennia apparently.
They need to give Randall Carlson and Ben from UnchartedX unlimited access. They’ll figure everything out in a few months… But no these muppets have to hide everything… Egyptian red tape at its best…
@@Stopplayingwithgod Not in sub-Saharan Africa. DNA studies show ancient Egyptians to be the same Middle Easterners that today live in Lebanon, Syria etc. Sub-saharans (Nubians) were kept as captives, visible in many murals and art even today.

Just in a few hundred years, human species already developed from cold-metal wielding to high-tech nuclear-war capable. It's possible that after the last ice age, we had a highly developed human society, which culture was wiped out by a global disaster.

Well sorry this ain’t new 😂 graham Hancock and his mates have been talking about it for 20 odd years. What it is is that the governments want to control the release of the information.
Awesome these kind of discoveries are always so fascinating. Didn't they also say there was a chamber under The Great Sphinx maybe the Hall Of Records or something?
Zahi Hawas has said many times over the years to the press that there is absolutely no hidden chambers in or under the Sphinx (despite there being photos of him climbing out of a hatch on either the head or the back). So that almost certainly means there indeed is something there. but gatekeepers gonna gatekeep.
Zahi Hawass has his head up his backside. He's the one who kept people from doing this earlier. We are only able to do this because Zahi Hawass was removed from his position. I see Hawass as a bad person, a self absorb person.
What blows my mind is the fact that I've been playing AC Origins latley and it's really gotten me into Egyptology stuff and now all of a sudden this story comes out. What are the odds?
In fact the makers of Origins studied and researched the pyramids so much to get it as accurate as possible that they knew that voids like this most likely existed in the pyramids.
It literally took them 2 years to figure out they could get a camera in there. Like seriously. These are "experts and professionals". Just goes to show what academia is really worth. They waste all of their time on this little void so the huge void above The Kings Chamber will just go away and the media won't report anything about it.
If you actually listened they didn't put a camera in there. They didn't drill anything, they used gluon beams that penrtrated the rock like xrays and reconstructed an image.
@@pyromaniac709 Firstly the life average life expectancy of a person in ancient Egypt is only 25 years old which by definition if you lived to be 50 you were seriously old. Pyramid construction would take about 85 years to complete thus a Pharaoh would have been dead for at least 35 years before he would be entombed in it. That is why they also had the Valley of the Kings where construction of a tomb took a significantly less time. The pyramids were built for a different purpose than for entombment. Some have theorized that it as a form of energy production using water as a source thus the need for void areas to relieve pressure and direct water. When you look at a tomb in the Valley of the Kings the walls are adorned with art work depicting the kings life time and journey into the after life. If you look the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid it is void of art work. There is no telling of who would have been buried there except for a small cartouche with the name Khufu which has been speculated as being painted there by archeologists as a way to determine who the pyramid belonged to.

Thanks for throwing us this little bone. Can’t quite get excited seeing as how they know about the vault under the Sphinx’s paw but do nothing about it. Zahi actually tried to debunk it by looking under the wrong paw. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
If I recall, the corridoor is to allow light in for the main chamber below it.
So the sensors got the picture that there is an empty corridor, which might release pressure from the chamber below. But if there is a chamber below, why didnt the sensors show that as well?
How have these pyramids not been totally mapped yet in 2023?
Exactly, doesn’t make sense.
because the head Egyptian archeologist doesn't believe in imaging technology to show the unknown. he denounced everything about not knowing about it when graham hancock questioned him about this chamber 15 years ago
because they're fighting to protect the narrative that these structures were built by primitive people who lacked the tools, mathematical knowledge, who knew nothing about the size of the planet, the 4 cardinal points or the fact they placed it in the exact center of all of the landmass on the planet Earth. Primitive Egyptians with no knowledge of Pi, The Golden Number and copper tools.
Simple, Egypt cannot afford any doubts about the fact tha they are perhaps built by someone else, not Egyptians, so they do their worst to make it as difficult as possible to bring any doubts up. There's been so much sabotage done by officials in Egypt that I'm surprised even this is happening.
@@mikko8574 its only for tourism dollars, like another has said, any treasures found are in Zahi's house now.
1 - it is absolutely an important discovery. With that said. Naturally Egypt - which heavily depends upon tourism - will tout this discovery to gin up interest.
2 - look at the rough nature of the corridor + its peaked roof + its location above the main entrance.
3 - we see in other areas of the pyramid that the concern about possible collapse was paramount. The Grand Gallery as an example is corbelled to help it withstand the weight of stone above. The King's Chamber area is made of granite + it contains relieving chambers above it also made of granite.
4 - further those relieving chambers above = also have a peaked roof. The reason is to "shunt" the weight above towards the sides away from the chamber below to minimize the chance of collapse.
Conclusion: the assessment thus far of this representing a weight reduction area to shunt the stress of the weight above away from the access corridor below is the best explanation. Just look at the angled chevrons above the main entrance on its exterior facade. If that changes with further study - fine. To date however it is the mostly likely explanation. If a corridor to somewhere = why was it not finished as you see with other corridors within the pyramid itself??? 🤨
Facts! The white man been cleaned this place out , the Egyptians are just using this to get people to come and tour something we’ve already seen a million times
Tourism roughly 10% of their GDP, in the USA, tourism is 7%, Italy 9%. Ive been on a vaction to Egypt. Its okay. Wouldn't go back so I am not sure about your 1st theory.
Yeah. I can literally feel the ground moving from the earth shattering discovery of an empty room. 😵
@@barryryan14 Egypt is a poor nation. Several years ago they merged their Dept. of Tourism with the Dept. of Antiquities. They have had to borrow money and fundraise to try to finish the new Grand Egyptian Museum as an example.
So tourism plays a large role and they subsequently try to encourage it at every turn. Tourist sites must be maintained and renovated at times. It took them 14 years to repair Djoser's Pyramid despite its cost being relatively low. Tourism dollars are critical to maintaining what is there.
I disagree that this small void is a relieving chamber. It's simply too small, and I would not say that this is the most probable explanation. However, I do not have an explanation of my own, I just haven't thought about it very much.
Okay. "Pharo's man cave" was legitimately funny. 😂
Tks to Professor Malanga and professor Biondi for the discovery
I can't believe man child Zahi Hawass still has a job it's insane

Whatever it is, the truth will be hidden from us.
Hawass favorite thing is keeping things hidden not to mention keep anyone who doesn't think how he thinks from examining different sites because he has a tiny mind
Oh Al! Glad to see you doing well again!
They will never tell us what they find.....they just said that area is designed to release pressure to something below it.. we will never know...just king tut's tomb closed off when the discovery of another room behind a wall..
The most fascinating part of this is that, unlike most of the corridors and chambers found so far in the Great Pyramid, the walls of this corridor are not straight and smooth: That could indicate that its purpose is quite different from the other areas of the Pyramid. Could it be that the builders never expected anyone would ever be able to gain access to this cavity and therefore did not see it as crucial that the stones be worked on longer to make the walls of this corridor as straight as the ones which were clearly expected to let people in and out of the pyramid? If so, what was the purpose of making a cavity within the other wise filled pyramid? (Sadly, it might indicate that there are no true "Treasures" hidden anywhere near it since such treasures are usually left in such structures in rooms and corridors that honor a person or a god, so the lack of attention to detail in that corridor doesn't show much respect for anyone -Yet but another one of the many mysteries of ancient Egypt which the discovery of raises more questions than it answers!)
'More questions than answers '- Exploration of this single pyramid is not likely to be completed soon -( problems of too many experts spoiling the broth is also always there - i.e , destructing the structure ...).
I think it is a major key to unlocking the pyramids construction. Possible internal ramp leading up to the top of the chamber with the massive granite blocks
Yes it's a relieving chamber, that's why the stones are unfinished, and the roof is pointed because it has large chevrons above. The reason why the cavity ends after a few meters is because it starts going upwards diagonally above the grand gallery to the 40m long void that was detected from scans.
Its designed that way so that sounds waves bounce back at a very particular frequency thus amplifying massive amounts of energy out the top and into the atmosphere, perhaps another pyramid.
They said the features of the room indicate it's purpose is to direct pressure around something underneath it.
Imagine it bends around the corner and goes downstairs and connects to an underground system lol
its a thick book on a lectern at the end
they discovered this pressurized shaft in the 90s aired the episode live then erased it.
Egyptian government working as slow as humanly possible to properly discover these things. Useless
search "malanga Synthetic Aperture Radar Doppler Tomography" you will be in for a nice surprise, the complete tomography of the pyramid reveals much more than this measly tunnel
The pyramids were never tombs. They were used to harness/produce energy. That’s why you can find pyramids all over the world. please understand this and do some research
Take your own advice
The most ironic thing about this video is them saying “As Technology Advances..” Yet, who was MORE Advanced… US Or the Egyptian’s who built those pyramids..?
Zahi Hawass is the big conman in archaeology history.
I am super stoked to hear more about this seven year undertaking that has finally yielded these results.
This has lasted 7 years? God help us, we will be dead before these guys find anything significant...
It would take a month if Zahi would crawl under a rock and disappear
Egypt blocked research into the pyramids for years because they knew Egyptians had nothing to do with them. The pyramids predate Egypt, now that it's pretty much common knowledge, hopefully the Egyptian government allows more research like this.
Got any proof for that? thought not
I’ve always been intrigued, absolutely mind-blown of the precision, vast mysteries of the pyramids. Stones used from quarries 500 miles away, multiple tons in weight, put into ceilings on the pyramids is just insane. The measurements from bottom to top and cannot be replicated today.
We _can_ replicate it today but we won't because there's no moral way to afford it without exploitation.

No way! They found a hole that everyone already knew about? Discovery of the century!
I want to add more. If the shape, size, and trajectory of the entry corridor is projected into the pyramid as if it is a straight corridor, where does it intersect? Anybody look at that?
i would assume the Grand Gallery.
I absolutely love this stuff...We need a show on this... History in the making

I've spent my whole life interested in the pyramids. Finding this out has made me give up. Each pyramid should have been thoroughly walked thru by now.
Just imagine, you deid and your family put your beloved things, memories and jewels with your body. And after 7000 yrs someone digging your grave, stealing your things, and put even your body in a museum!
Amagine how pretty they were before all the limestone was looted off of them and the gold at the point at the top.
Nobody has ever credited the looting Egyptians for removing all the white marble from the facade of the pyramids. That in itself must have been one giant undertaking.
Wow, an international press conference to tell everyone they found...wait for it... nothing
Not entirely, like they said, the area means it’s reducing the weight of the pyramid above meaning there’s something important below that room.
@@DaimonAnimations It is. The passage way going down. It's just underneath the chevrons.

It's not a new discovery, but it's the first time we can see inside. If I'm correct about its purpose that it will drive Zahi Hawass mad, as is just looks a corridor with no chambers attached to it. They do really need to re-think about the pyramids as the so-called experts have got them wrong, they don't want to admit they haven't got a clue! This man-made structure, is amazing once you understand how it works.
I have personally seen Zahi Hawass's personal collection of Egyptian antiquities he's collected while he's been overseeing these excavations. They're quite breathtaking!
he's a complete scam artist and has been exposed many time over.
Personal collection indeed, Zahi is a thief and an egotistical narcissist that cares more about Zahi than the truth.
@@EUCitizenFedUpWithAllThisCrap100 %
He stole them
He’s a major piece of sh’t, man child & a liar. Please tell him that on behalf of the rest of the world, next time you see his stolen history.
The fact is, nobody knows that the pyramid was built as a tomb. No hieroglyphs. Nobody really knows who built them, how they were built, or what they were used for.
They're likely much older than they say, from a prehistoric Ice Age culture using forgotten technology
Or when it was built, they only guess the age and admit to in a metaphorical fine print, carbon dating only works on living matter which stone itself is not, meaning it could be much older then the matter found present near and within the site. Civilizations have fallen and rose around these pyramids, so much activity throughout all known history theirs real no way to accurately date it by radio carbon. Robert Shocks understanding of the sphinx water ersosion was the closest thing we have to dating any thing in the giza plateau valley honestly

The most important discovery in the 21st century is a short, empty hallway. Give me a break.
Zahi Hawass has new artifacts to sell and more info to conceal?
This needs to be thoroughly investigated!
This is about a discovery in the Pyramid of Khufu, aka The Great Pyramid. Why do they, again and again, show pictures of the next-door Pyramid of Khafre, the second largest?
This has been known for years and ignored by everyone.

Discovery requires freedom from deception and/or covit.
Egyptian government is useless. They've withheld so much over the years and forbid many from carrying out proper tests etc
How come there is not one gliff telling us how the Pyramids were built, why and it's purpose, this latest chamber confirms the Pyramids were not monuments for the dead!
That is weird. You'd think, being the most majestic structures ever built, that the builders would've gone out of their way to tell everyone about them. It's really, really strange.
I think it's because it was so obvious to them how to build them, they didn't feel the need to write it down. Like if 4,500 yrs from now mice have long been extinct, they find a mousetrap. They would wonder how and why it was built and what it's purpose was. Also, they may have written it down. Just hasn't been found yet.
@@ge2623Like, recipes that call for chicken eggs. It says "eggs", but it'll only specify if it's NOT chicken eggs, like emu or duck, etc. It's just known and understood that chicken eggs are the standard for a lot of cooking and baking, and no one ever reminds anyone. Lol
@@beetlebob4675 Yep.
So what are the hidden secrets?
I need answers!!!!
Zahi is the reason why we don’t know more. He suppresses discoveries like the discovery in the sphinx
What you really want to ask yourself is why if these are so-called Egyptian pyramids then why are there no hieroglyphics or bodies found in these supposed tombs? And if the Egyptians didn't build them and only repurposed them.. then what was the original use and why are there parts of the pyramids on the inside that are destroyed but clearly not from repurposing the materials? The famed egyptologist zahi hawass admits that he wants us to keep guessing because it drives tourists to them.
Whites didn't build them
the pyramids were robbed relentlessly by the workers who built them which is part of why it’s so barren
It leads someplace " Did they just invent the endoscope yesterday? 20 years late.
I was going to get over intrigued bu the banter saved me
They’ve known everything since the 70s including the library under the left paw
If you look at the released images it seems that there is a lot of "digital artifacts" at the end of the corridor, like the image has been modified. Maybe to lighten it up? Maybe something else?

What is happening here?

Pharaoh to traveler, dumbfounded, “ What this? This has ALWAYS been here, was built by our ancestors’…. ancestors. Building my tomb down there…. in the Valley of Kings.”
And more plausible that is a civilization before the Egyptian. Consider there are no documents on how the pyramid were made and that the Egyptian actually originated from the civilization of Atlantis. Cool fact Atlantis was actually an empire like the Roman Empire that stretched out many lands and cities. But the city of Atlantis was considered the capital.
And the Egyptian migrated to modern day Egypt when Atlantis was destroyed.

no point of going there as long as they treat tourists like criminals

Just in a few hundred years, human species already developed from cold-metal wielding to high-tech nuclear-war capable.

this aint no discovery. whats the bigger play?
Ya I thought that was old news there surly something else down there to that would be interesting
Zahi Hawas has said many times over the years to the press that there is absolutely no hidden chambers in or under the Sphinx (despite there being photos of him climbing out of a hatch on either the head or the back).
So that almost certainly means there indeed is something there. but gatekeepers gonna gatekeep.
The fact that it has taken this long is ridiculous!
2 years for them to figure out a video camera could show them more than all of their stupid overpriced technology.
They have to make sure the truth is hidden before the big reveal....

What blows my mind is the fact that I've been playing AC Origins latley and it's really gotten me into Egyptology stuff and now all of a sudden this story comes out. What are the odds?
Yep same but with the ancient Rome when I played ac2
hello payek 😂
when they released it i was very happy to see my country's history and it was great experience
In fact the makers of Origins studied and researched the pyramids so much to get it as accurate as possible that they knew that voids like this most likely existed in the pyramids.
It literally took them 2 years to figure out they could get a camera in there. Like seriously. These are "experts and professionals". Just goes to show what academia is really worth. They waste all of their time on this little void so the huge void above The Kings Chamber will just go away and the media won't report anything about it.
If you actually listened they didn't put a camera in there. They didn't drill anything, they used gluon beams that penrtrated the rock like xrays and reconstructed an image.
The Great Pyramid is 25,000 or more years old. It was built before the last ice age
What makes you say that?
@@pyromaniac709 Firstly the life average life expectancy of a person in ancient Egypt is only 25 years old which by definition if you lived to be 50 you were seriously old. Pyramid construction would take about 85 years to complete thus a Pharaoh would have been dead for at least 35 years before he would be entombed in it. That is why they also had the Valley of the Kings where construction of a tomb took a significantly less time. The pyramids were built for a different purpose than for entombment. Some have theorized that it as a form of energy production using water as a source thus the need for void areas to relieve pressure and direct water.
When you look at a tomb in the Valley of the Kings the walls are adorned with art work depicting the kings life time and journey into the after life. If you look the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid it is void of art work. There is no telling of who would have been buried there except for a small cartouche with the name Khufu which has been speculated as being painted there by archeologists as a way to determine who the pyramid belonged to.
So the pyramids is older than Adam and eve and the Bible???????? Ummmm something fishy about that book
Leave the ancients alone!
