Analyzing the North Face Corridor of the Great Pyramid

Рет қаралды 890,287

Күн бұрын

The ScanPyramids Mission revealed to the world on March 2, 2023 the first images taken from inside a hidden corridor within the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The hidden North Face Corridor of the pyramid was found to contain a gabled ceiling, known as a saddle vault. This design redirects the weight of the pyramid from above, and thus it was widely assumed to be a so-called ‘weight-relieving chamber’ protecting the descending corridor below.
But many details about the North Face Corridor suggest that protecting structures below may not have been its primary purpose. This video compares the design to other saddle-vaults and puts the corridor in context to the other features within the Great Pyramid.

A basic tool of hard rock mining is a "tattle-tale". This is a wooden beam placed between two notches that hold it in place. A miner can wiggle the wood so he knows its feel. If the the beam starts to feel looser or tighter the miner can know if the rock is shifting. Clear "tattle-tale" notches appear across from one another high in the ceiling of the Northern chamber in the Bent Pyramid across from the dug passage connecting to the western corridor. The ancient Egyptians were testing if their designs worked. They wanted to know if there was any subsistence or shifting in their structures. The shallow holes dug into the gabled ceiling of the new passage could have held "tattle-tales". Same for Campbell's chamber.

Justice should demand that someone such as yourself should have a documentary crew and a production budget behind them with which to make cinematic and high-value production style content for mass broadcast to as wide an audience as possible, and yet it is here, for free, affording the creator minimal financial reward despite all of the effort put in, and is available to those of us interested and lucky enough to find it on a platform such as this.

Here’s a new perspective … consider when the pyramid was half built. The new corridor’s raised floor is the same level of blocks as the floor of the queen’s chamber. The architect would have walked around on that layer and surveyed the floor plan (kinda like walking around a partly built house with the floor but no walls installed yet). I bet that was a major milestone … and extra effort was made at that point to level the floor and correct/adjust for any deviations outside established tolerances. And the next 3 layers were special, with walls for chambers and corridors, then chevrons for ceilings. There may be other special things planned for that layer of the pyramid

None of the pyramids have been fully uncovered, they don't rest upon the sand, they are much bigger, and wider at the base than people think,.. those things go down to bedrock, and the tunnels are a labyrinth that extends in a network to other underground structures. I visited the site before, there is a small stone structure about a hundreds yards or so away from the Great Pyramid, it houses a pump room (ventilation shafts) and a small power sub station, all the cables, pipes, and vents go down under ground towards the pyramids. I wandered over to see what this was away from the main group, was quickly shouted at by guards, and they went through my camera to make sure i had no pictures.. this was 10 years ago. to understand the structure, they should first uncover the foundation,.. which they will never do.

I keep coming back to the 1986 drilling of holes in the Queen's Chamber corridor and finding that quartz sand filled void... It feels like all of this may be connected with some of the connecting chambers and corridors backfilled, some remaining open like the NFC and the Big Void. So frustrating to know that this discovery was made in the 80s and then... nothing. Hawass was apparently involved in that inaction.

I think you're right when you say that this corridor has not been built for relieving pressure because it is too close to the pyramid edge. I think it must lead somewhere, probably to the big void with a narrower passage since it has not been detected by the muon technique. Or it was abandoned for an unknown reason. Very interesting to find out that people 5000 years ago were as smart as today. Keep on the good work.

@briancooney9952 Жыл бұрын

it seems like most of the smooth finished faces (inner and outer) of the pyramids, were finished in situ not before. That being said, i think based on the size and alignment, this could have been originally designed as an entrance when the pyramid underwent the expansion that some have theorized might have occurred. It was left unfinished, unused, and blocked off. The "Gantenbrink door" seems to support this, as it could've been simply a plug for the queens chamber ventilation shafts, because there was no need for them once the kings chamber and it's shafts were built. It's also possible that this is a blocked off entrance to a burial chamber, and all the other chambers were merely diversions

Its for a few reasons. When revenue from tourism starts dropping they always happen to discover something new to get people interested again. If they blow their proverbial loads too soon it'll all be over. To Egyptian religion, the Pyramids etc are pagan. If it wasn't for the revenue they bring in, they probably would have been levelled years ago. That's why the areas are used as rubbish dumps etc. Can't have people finding out that their religion (or parts of it) has been proven wrong. Can't have evidence that's contrary to their narrative. If they don't investigate they won't find it, and if they find it we won't know.

The following just came to my mind in regard to Zahi Hawass's suggestion that Kufu's burial chamber is still intact inside. The conventional understanding is that the pharaohs built their pyramids during their lifetime and upon death they were solemnly placed in a chamber which was then sealed and blocked to prevent grave-robbing. But what if the pyramid was just partly built at the time of dead of the pharaoh. So let's say the pyramid is 1/3 of it's height, the pharaoh dies, his mummy is placed in a chamber in the middle of the pyramid and then the rest of the pyramid is built around that chamber. So no real entrance or a path to the burial chamber - the pharaoh is (relatively) safe forever - hundreds of feet of stone all around him. If I wanted to be left alone after dead, this is what I would have done. Does this make any sense?

@johns1625 6 ай бұрын

This makes sense and you would think they would want to maximize space since they only get to build it once. There is a lot of room in there for other things and it would be really dumb for us to assume we've found everything. It's taken how many decades just to get to drive a camera up the queens chamber vent thing and there is so much evidence in there of other chambers possibly. We could figure all this out in like 5 years if the antiquities dept wasn't like trying to reason with a toddler.

I'm absolutely exhausted but I could not take myself away from this video. You kept my 63 years old brain interested every second with your amazing narrative. Oh! And I'm far from being any kind of authority on the subject. I've simply been interested and fascinated by egyptology since I was a kid. Thank you! Instantly subscribed.

I can't help but find myself considering this small corridor in these terms: Had it not existed, the giant void further up in the pyramid would likely remain unexplored for all time, because of the old guard's reticence to place credence in anything not specifically researched by themselves. And while that still may remain the case, the fact that the muon tech led first to discovery and then, happily, an easy, *non-destructive* verification at least opens the door to a possible future exploration of the more important, probable second Grand Gallery. I can say with some confidence that there would be 0% chance of that ever happening without the smaller corridor providing an almost perfectly convenient "test case".

@Chris-eh8mi Жыл бұрын

That sounds about right to me as well, which is just so disappointing. The old guard is too scientifically illiterate to hold power. They don't understand the physics involved or the 5.8σ confidence given to the findings.

@@MJIZZEL Gonna say extremely doubtful. If bats could have ever gotten in and out of that space, they had thousands of years to do more damage than anything we might today find ourselves questioning yea/nay.

@@MJIZZEL maybe the corridor was left open for several years before final sealing.. I.e. the time between completion of the pyramid and death of the pharaoh.

@MJIZZEL Жыл бұрын

@@douginorlando6260 exactly what I was thinking. If it is organic, and it's still datable, it could point to the time the corridor had been finally sealed. However if it is from the bats and has recently started to accumulate, that would point to there being another access point that either isn't visible from the scope or it is and it hasn't been shared but by those few in charge. I'm would bet on it that the footage from the scope that we all first saw isn't the first time hawass had seen inside!

People seem to forget that the pyramids were bolt from the ground up, there was no tunnelling involved. When every space was built there was nothing above it. With that said, i see no reason for this to be a construction aid tunnel, as there would be no construction to be done below it and there would be nothing above it. It's too close to the outside to be needed for weight relief as there is little weight above it. The side walls seem to widen out where the raised floor stone is and my bet is that this raised stone is a drop in blocking stone to a passage below.

You forgot that they needed a way to get all that material up. One of theories is that they intentionally left tunnels which allowed less steep slopes for material hauling to the top as it was built.

This was really great to see and get your take on. While I commented on and noticed the chevrons not being staggered you picked up on a whole lot more fascinating things about the space. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about the black spot or shadow on the right side wall. 11:45 It seems so different color/shade wise than anything else in the space. Great to see your video and I hope you (we all) get more endoscopic video in the future to ponder. Always a thumbs up!

As a lay person who is neither an Egyptologist, Architect or Structural/Materials Engineer, I’ve already come to the conclusion that so many “experts” are desperate to protect their narratives and turf at the exclusion of truth. I had no idea so many Egyptologists are also expert Construction Engineers 😂 Your channel is a breath of fresh air and no BS - thanks!

Excellent analysis! You, and the producer of "Ancient Architects", are the only two channels on KZfaq about ancient Egyptian architecture that I truly respect! I am so sick of the "so called" Egyptologists (you know who I am referring to. ZH, ML, et al.) trying to pawn off their opinions as fact. I love, however, how you present things based on scientific observation. You have no agenda to skew your analyses. Keep up the fantastic work!

@notsoroyalacademy7001 8 ай бұрын

except Ancient Architects pushes sometimes forward some completely false ideas like the bs of water pumps and other nonesense. He does otherwise some excellent job too from time to time, but youtubers and other "independent researchers" are by no means a substitute for true academic research, if your work is not peer reviewed and subject to serious academic and scientific debate then it might better be labeled as "unverified guess work" rather than "independent" (independant from true enlightened criticism?) research. I might as well call myself an "independant researcher" and "publish" my nonesense in blogs, social media and even arxiv, it doesn't make it scientific or a research by any means. I love this channel's work. In fact it's an excellent channel on egyptology, but we should always remember that it's just for fun and educational purposes.

The more we discover the less we seem to know. Open up a space like this and all we get are more questions. We all have our hypotheses, I imagine, mine being that this was probably the "official" way into the 2 chambers. But I suppose we'll have to wait another 10 years or so to get the next clue......Thanks for posting, btw, these are great videos and one of the few I really trust on the topic.....

@@mnomadvfx Hi, I see you're in VFX. I want a vfx pov of my passion. For now we have architecturally accurate 3D models but not photo realistic ones. I'm thinking of putting together a team architects, independent egyptologists, photogrammetry, muon scans, VFX & game devs to build a structurally / architecturally & scientifically accurate model of the great pyramid that's also photo realistic & real time playable. Games / vfx take artistic liberty. The goal is to make the closest to reality virtual reconstruction in UE5.1/Blender/revit that can be used by scientists, gamers & explorers alike. If they could do it in stone in ancient times, we can do it vfx in modern times! I know this is a massive undertaking & very ambitious but the great pyramid was one too!

@HistoryforGRANITE Жыл бұрын

Sadly 3D VFX are not in my skillset. But they also have huge problems because details get glossed over or changed during the recreation process. The ones seen on cable TV docs are often ridiculously inaccurate. My approach is to give a 2d overlay on top of real photographs so everyone gets the opportunity to make their own analysis of the real thing.
