To get your head around how old the pyramids really are just think about the fact that when the whole Cleopatra, Mark Antony, Julius Ceasar thing was going on the pyramids were already roughly 2500 years old. They were closer in time to leaving comments on youtube with their iphones than they were to the building of the pyramids - by 500 years.

@jpjh8844 Because even the Egyptians had their own archeologists. Not everyone is afflicted with Victorian morality, that when and where someone dies must be forever sanctified. Once immediate relatives and morners are gone, it is relegated to history where when it no longer afflicts emotional stress. The last person executed at the Tower of London was a German spy by firing squad, the chair he sat on was kept in memoriam till his immediate relatives passed and it is now on display with no complaints. Egyptians believed that if your name is erased, your soul ceases to exist, so by understanding and re-learning who they are, it can be interpreted as a resurrection. The past is just as mysterious as the future, and just like we relentlessly try to interpret our environment, they went to great lengths to do the same. It is just a continuation of a process they started, that will continue long after we are gone. In short, they went to great lengths to be acknowledged, we are acknowledging them. I am sure they are fine with it.

Despite centuries of busy archaeology in the region, somehow there are still semi-unexcavated sites like this one - as well as new tombs being discovered at Saqqara & elsewhere. Always found the field fascinating from a child onwards, but the fact that it's such an ongoing area of live discovery just makes it exponentially more exciting!!

We ,at my mother's instigation,were lucky to get to place far from the well worth tracks,even then. Often in Helicopters & from above,I have always had a feeling there is a greater plan,that we are missing out on,particularly with the possibility that there are still sights awaiting discovery. Ea ch timevingo back I'm a combination of delighted that there is more comfortable access to many sights,but,mitigated by the ENORMOUS amount of "clues" that have simply disappeared, behind "safety stuctures" & supposed "restoration. There is still much to find - my feeling being,that Hawass has a vast file of other people's work,which he robs & calls it his own work!?!

Ones in a state like this pyramid aren't necessarily older, but newer and used cheaper building materials. They had a strong casing of well cut and dressed hard limestone but used irregular rocks and sand in the spaces within as filler. once the casing stones were plundered for other buildings millennia ago, the rough core was exposed to the elements and eroded and slid into collapse.

Slave/Serf labour and tooling explains all of it. The Egyptians used thousands, if not tens of thousands of slaves/Serfs on every build. You cannot imagine how many people died working on the pyramids, or how many it took to just build one. They were extremely advanced in their tool making and wet sanding skills. With 100+ working on one stone, this granite could be sanded within months. People deny how hard these people worked and how intelligent they were. "Aliens" is disrespectful to the sheer ingenuity of the Ancient Egyptian toolmakers. They probably invented the first sanding paper and true sanding techniques used today. They would crack the stone same as a modern quarry, split the rocks down and sand. Sawing was rarely done but was using copper and abrasives and a lot of work, could be done. Every "experiment" done to disprove that they could not cut precision cuts etc are ridiculous bc they never consider how many men would have sawed and worked on a single rock at one time. As 20 men cut, another 20 might sand using abrasive wet sanding. Look at Djedefhor's tomb. They were just as intelligent as you or me, and more than capable of working out how to form these buildings. Copper tools have been found and Pappy is incorrect entirely. Petrie found tools, and there are a number in university collections including small saws (not the type used on pyramids). Besides, the absence of proof is not proof of absence.

Most people will laugh at this, of course, but many things are well documented if we dare to look. E. g. shape shifting.

Holding handfuls of granite and quartz chunky rocks in your hands with eyes closed under the heat of the sun gives many great passage messages through thoughts. I see sand and mountain majesties most times but it feels like I can feel the held stones stories of when they were whole before they were cut and collected to my hands

Educated guesses and speculation can be fun and interesting. Labeling them as such, as you have, is necessary and wise.

Finding an Old Kingdom pharaoh would be cool. But I agree with you that it’s rather unlikely. I would imagine that to the degree that the priesthood still existed during the time when the pyramids were dismantled, they would have taken any surviving mummies to a secure location, akin to what has happened in the valley of the Kings, though probably not all of them neatly packed and labelled in a single crypt.

Thank you. Very interesting. Yes, some modern Egyptologist need to be more open minded, and less arrogant in their attitude.

Ironically, its one of the hallmarks of the Egyptian civilization that allowed it to rise to greatness that also allowed grave robbers to so thoroughly loot the artifacts: and that is their meticulous record keeping.

Perhaps your most speculative video thus far. Nonetheless, very interesting, especially given how clearly well informed you are on the topic. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and guess-work. :-)

I wonder if those magazines originally held statues. Children, wives, or particular gods. They seem significant, since they are always there. Mine might have a 54 Bel Air, but I don't know enough about Egyptology to even speculate.

i can't help but have mixed feelings about the Tutankhamun treasures, regarding authenticity. for all i know the artifacts could have been made during the lengthy period of excavation. there's something really off about the archaeological sites in Egypt in general. i was an ancient Egypt fanatic in my youth, since the 80s. there's a kind of arrested development going on, as if everything that could be discovered was discovered already, and the areas exist for tourism, everything is covered in sand, doesn't look like serious archaeological sites. a city can dig an underground highway but Egypt can't manage to clean some sand off some apparently important sites. so much doesn't make sense about it, which is why I'm grateful for a channel like History For Granite.

I imagine if he was still in there, someone would've opened him up to find any valuables that may have been placed in or on his body. If everything else in the tomb was already gone, the final looter wouldn't leave that last stone unturned.

Only now has it sunk in how much these structures were cannibalized. Somehow I had previously had the impression that the more ruined pyramids had just been poorly built.
@JoelRSmith

They were more poorly built. Later pyramids had a rubble core so when the limestone casing stones were removed, there was nothing to keep the pyramid shape. And then it got even worse when they used mud brick for the core.

The quality difference is somewhat subjective. If you can build a beautiful pyramid with rubble inside that looks the same but costs half as much and is built twice as fast… which is better?

@@HistoryforGRANITE I understand the advantages, particularly ar the time it was probably the only option politically, but I tend to believe that producing quality has a far greater benefit for the civilization or people concerned. They benefit because they have created something sublime and they know how it was done.
