you know what would be even MORE profitable for Egyptologists and Egypt as a whole? If they actually DID find out that Egypt was 10,000 years old. Why would they suppress that if there was actually compelling enough evidence to justify them taking such a huge leap backward in the timeline from what all the other evidence is indicating? Why would they hide something like that It would bring insane amounts of tourism to the Giza plateau and that will not only swell the Egyptian economy but also make sure any group or business connected to Egyptian tourism would be booming! Why on earth wouldn't they want that if there was anything approaching the sort of strong evidence they would need to even float that idea as a possibility. I mean there is no evidence for any sort significant pyramid-building civilizations in Egypt being found within the archaeological strata corresponding to 10,000 years ago it only gets more primitive the deeper archaeologists dig into the layers prior to the dynastic egyptians. The deeper they dig more more hunter-gatherer sites they find mixed in with increasingly more primitive proto-villages made of largely of farmers. Who could have built the pyramids prior to the Egyptians without leaving a trace? The evidence seems to suggest that would be more unlikely than not. It's hard to explain an advanced civilization which left behind absolutely none of the sort of artifacts you'd expect to see from any settled group of people, nevermind one that is advanced enough to build the great pyramid.

That was an eye-opening statement for me too, I recently visited egypt alone and it funny walking by crowds of well-educated westerners listening to some hippie tell them about how it was all made with Antigravity technology and Magic. Then to learn most people at my hotel were there to absorb its tesla energy feild....like I didn't even know what to say I just said "oh cool". Now I'm starting to understand its a business...crazy

@@jellyrollthunder3625 40,000 vases of Djoser buried under his step-pyramid, which he could have easily inherited when Narmer united Upper Egypt with Lower Egypt. The sophistication of these artifacts is superior to nearly every vase/urn found 5th dynasty onwards and the leap above the primitive 1st and 2nd dynasty pottery is completely massive. So let's get this straight. The dynastic Egyptians seem to have woken up during Djoser reign with godlike stonework skills. Then 200 years later they forgot how to make perfectly symmetrical vases out of some of the hardest stones on the planet, and went back to only less precise clay and alabaster vases. Hmmm..🤔 it's almost like all those artifacts from the lost civilization are right in front of out eyes but we have given credit to the wrong people.

@@jellyrollthunder3625 Totally agree. What if it was the home of Noah, or even 35,000 yrs old as their ancient myths speak of? It's likely anything found that was advanced tech wouldn't be understandable, useful to any primitive society, Greece, Rome, etc., no matter how far advanced they were compared to the rest of their contemporary world. It seems possible to me that the later pharaohs discovered things and tossed them in the trash, its also possible that the adventurists/pseudo archeologist did the same. Some of the stuff in the Cairo/Alexandria museums are very strange and unexplainable now. Even ancient historians write about the Egyptians knowing more about the*s than anyone else. It's possible that the priests did have secret tech of some kind (telescope/ magnifying glass) and wouldn't reveal it. Also, the pyramids at Giza could have been in mastaba/ziggurat form 11,000+ yrs ago and prettied up by much later kings/pharaohs? Or if they were built as is and as machines, no one would have a clue about that because, as much as the current, bonafide archeologists Egyptologists insist otherwise, there isn't one reference in Egyptian heiroglyphs/papyrus/tombs about any of the three at Giza. If Zahi doesn't want the world to know the truth, I'm guessing it's because everything in that country likely would be considered the world's (until another country takes the cake) and not Egypt's, and the power the current Egyptians have over it, if any w/that discovery, very much diminished, because that Great Pyramid has kept a complicated grand function still a huge mystery.🤔🧐😳🤷🙋

@@jellyrollthunder3625 yeah I've seen the video by myths vs scientists. I got a problem with their experiment though. I wish they had used a harder stone than Breccia Marble for the vase. Many of the artifacts found under the Step-pyramid are made of much more difficult materials. Let's see them make a paper thin vase out of schist or a granite vase which balances perfectly on its rounded bottom(the surface area on which it rests is .15 sq inch, and the entire vase is about 9 inches in diameter). The myth vs scientist guys took a fair amount of time to do thier experiment. Imagine how much time it would take if they tried the granite example I mentioned above. Now imagine how many man hours it would take to create all the thousands of artifacts from Djosers pyramid. Artifacts like those are plentiful, found at multiple sites and we date nearly all of them between the 2nd and 4th dynasty. For how many examples of these vases we have, fine stonework must have been an integral part of the lives for the majority of workforce in Egypt. Then the 5th dynasty rolls around and the Egyptian people have completely forgotten how to craft these fine stone objects never to remember again. Doesn't that seem damning, considering how intrinsic stonework was to the Egyptians, and how good of records they kept? It's not like they didn't try to create perfectly symmetrical granite vases later in Egyptian history, it's just that they simply weren't capable of doing so. Why? Oh and i just noticed that I have replied to multiple comments from you by mistake. I'd appreciate if you could take the time to read the reply I made to your other comment. I believe your comment was about alternative theorists like Hancock being a poison, among other points.

before going against Egyptology, try to study there basics as far as you can. Then you'll understand why they are so slow in accepting alternative theories.

What is impossible is to take serious the so called "alternative" dogmatic approaches. That first and foremost don't prove nothing. But make huge claims based purely on air and wind. If people gave themselves the trouble to STUDY, real world evidence. At least 90% of the so called amazing claims. Would vanish, on the spot, into thin air. Even this video is another example of whole lot of NOTHING. Although rather interesting ! Come on people, wake up. The notorious examples from the "Hancock & co." many times absurdly ridiculous claims. Can only sustain themselves on the ignorance of the listener. Even this ignorant me, literally a nobody amateur historian. Can debunk large swathes of their fairy tales and BS stories. Clearly knowing the rest can't be neither confirmed or denied, by the present level of evidence, if ever! But certainly that DETAIL would never stop them to carry on with outrageous claims. More so, it's almost funny seeing those same characters. When confronted with evidence, that absolutely prove them wrong. They don't correct or even apologize for the deliberate lies. They simply change the speech and pretend it never happened. "Scam & scum" methodology! Yep, I'll stick with the scientific method. LOL 😂😂

The quote regarding radiocarbon dates: that the Egyptologists would put results that confirmed what they already believed in the main text, of in a footnote for items that didn’t totally contradict their beliefs. But for dates way out? They’d just completely ignore them and leave them out. I think that pretty much confirms our worst fears, that Egyptologists refuse any data that contradict their dogmatic insistence on the dates of construction for the Giza Pyramids..

@@BRILLSTEELMOTORSPORT it s not only egyptology!..it s also archeology, anthropology and also geology lately!..they re stuck in their academia hermeneutics and empirism!..thanks God there are still profesors-at least at german universities-who try to make hints towards interesting and unortodox directions!-zelotism is sadly deep rooted within human nature and its foreshadows vanity and egoism!

@@Emira_75 The chemical analysis of reddish staining inside chambers of the Red Pyramid shows weird levels of metals which differ a lot from the core samples of the limestone the pyramid was built out of.

Yea infac it looks like more of a dove-tailing issue of the pharonic cronology with post egyptian history, in other words the cronology has the correct time between all it's pharohs but the whole thing is displaced a few hundred years. That's hardly even an error as it's kind of beyond the scope of what the cronology is doing, the offset may be due to non-egyptian history or the the colapses between the old, middle and new periods.

@@v4skunk739 If you ignore history, science and so on you can believe anything you want, including that they were built by giants, Atlanteans, or space aliens. I'll stick with science, thanks.

That is still important to know in my opinion. It tells you that the pyramid was being maintained, and allows you to understand better it's purpose.

The first pictures of the pyramids date from after the Greek Napoleonas and his French army built them. This fraud gave the Greek bible some "credibility", as "Great Egypt" was nothing but a myth which people like Thales of Miletus had invented, to claim racial superiority of the original Greeks from Asia Minor (who allegedly originated from mysterious Utopia called Egypt). The Greek Freemason lodges in France and England rushed to manufacture various "Egyptian" artefacts including mummies of dead Frenchmen.

Timber was imported from places like modern-day Lebanon. Using tree rings for dating is difficult when you don't have a lot of samples and when they might have been sourced from different places.

Think you added an extra 0 there, says he was around 500bc

Finn Carl Bomholt Sørensen That's amazing, considering the earth is only 6000 years old.

​@Jim Wills How do you come up with that Jim. KZfaq has taught me thats the number if approx since the World Wide Deluge. And I think theres been multiple extinction events since before that. The book of Kings gives far better history than science does and the Kings were around about 25,000 years each

WTF. The Roman's destroyed their own forests and those of cedar trees in present day Lebanon. Brits did same thing and used North America as their lumber yard for their navy mainly. So if anything remains it's buried in the sands if time or biodegraded by now. We aren't much better at forest or jungle management. Look at the Amazon, 50 % remaining in my life time.

@bina nocht kind of, its based on the ratio of isotopes of Carbon- while living you keep replacing/adding new carbon so it says a a roughly set ration while alive. then once dead one isotope breaks down at a set rate that allows us to go, whats the carbon ratio- k, its roughly X centuries old give or take- but there are probably some visual cues like rings to let us estimate how old the tree may have been when cut

@bina nocht A cedar tree will be at least 500 years old before it's ready to be cut for lumber. And the middle rings are dead. The only living part of a tree, it the layer just under the bark. So depending on which part of the lumber you're testing, and which part of the tree it's from, the margin for error is huge. And dendrochronology isn't much help when you don't know the exact origin of the timber, it's all dried and split to Hell, and you don't have enough samples from the (unknown) origin, for comparison. Tests on more fragile organic matter, trapped in the mortar, are way, WAY more accurate. Unfortunately, they don't support the lunatics LARP fantasy of pyramids being older

Well that's a really great point!

Water ersosion on the Sphinx indicates periods of heavy rainfall in the past. A lot more trees would have been around then.

I don't know how KZfaqrs make their videos, but some times I do sit here in my kitchen looking at a video and think wow I would not have found this even if I had ÜberGoogleSkills(tm). Yet all I had to do was click on another one of the videos from this channel. Which is still some what magical to my brain.

Thank you

A length of string or rope stretched tight would do the job Of course you’re assuming that the concavity was designed intentionally, rather than a result of processes such as settling or weathering, or unintentionally resulting from methods of construction

@tysongirard2266 Rock hard evidence without the sedimentary drivel. They are diamond compared to Mohs other channels. 😬

That’s cool that you used his videos to correlate with the actual. Hope your visit was fun and exciting 😊

@@JohnSmith-gb5vg It was great!! Although it was colder than expected in Egypt. Seeing the pieces of wood in the Bent Pyramid was really mind-blowing!

Its a good point. I was under the impression that the interior of all 3 pyramids at Giza didn't have mortar anywhere. That mortar was used in the exterior laying of the limestone casing stones/repairs? Its always been a point how exactly so many if those huge blocks fit together so precisely and w/o mortar? If they were repaired over the eons, how could anyone tell, radio carbon dating/hieroglyphics not withstanding? If the 3/4 dyn. appropriated them, fixing deteriorated areas would be fixed w/mortar, no? Such a great platform, best coverage, but?s always result. Much better than mine. Thanks for your comment.👍🤗

People keep bringing this up but mostly because they don't realise that by the time the first unified dynasty was founded by Narmer the lower kingdom of Egypt on the Nile delta was already a significant trading hub of the Mediterranean coast. That includes cedar wood lumber imported from Lebanon up the eastern coast. The trade of that cedar wood was so significant in antiquity that it deforested most of Lebanon before even the ancient Roman's made settlements there at Baalbek and built the Temple of Jupiter + the huge retaining wall that prevents subsidence on that hill.

@@nomadscavenger "That mortar was used in the exterior laying of the limestone casing stones/repairs?" No, its use is extensive. Much of the Khufu pyramid masonry is actually roughly cut limestone blocks behind the casing and outermost course of blocks. The mortar was necessary to in fill the roughness so that it both binded well and remained relatively level.

I would like to see that too.

Having worked with stone myself on a rather small scale compared to the pyramids, I too would like to see more about the quarries, I would like to see a map showing the locations they come from as well if at all possible. A quarry can be used somewhat as a clock if different structures used the same quarry, last stones out newest building so to speak.

*Luminescence* dating would be useful on the stone, letting us know the last time said stone was exposed to the ☀ sun. Then at least we would have a more accurate date than the carbon dating method, which takes organic matter that could be a later addition to the pyramid 🏔 due to renovations and add-ons. We could be relatively sure the stoneworked quarried blocks would be part of the original 🏔 pyramid construction allowing for a more precise dating of the time-line ⏳️

@@annapierce8666 Does luminescence allow us to determine when the stone was quarried or only when the surface of the stone was exposed to the sun? For example, if Rameses II liberated, then recarved/refinished granite blocks which he procured from the Menkaure pyramid, then would the luminescence testing of those granite blocks date to Rameses II or Menkaure?

@@bridgermauchley6179 Luminescence only gives scientists the last time the stone was exposed to sunlight ☀

I hear ya Bro 😎

And small metal discs with peoples' faces on. Ouuuuuu! What could they be?

​@@JohnFlower-NZfook knows. We can all speculate though.

They neglect to mention that the wood probably came from Lebanon, not Egypt and that could account for some of the difference. In general, the carbon dating is consistent with Egyptologist’s dates.

Right and saying they are sooooo old the egyptians inherited them.

Nobody walked up and down the shafts. Human sweat is salty as f***.

The Queens Chamber is reported to have had a VERY thick coating of large crystal salt when first discovered....and it's lined with granite....so where did this massive amount of salt come from? And is it possible that the carbon dating can be skewed by radiation? Theories about a mass coronal ejection abound and lots of the ancient structures and statues in Egypt have a side that for sure looks like it was cooked by extreme heat with even melting in some places. The Muon Scan Project seems to indicate that radiation CAN penetrate through the pyramids....could something like this change the accuracy of the carbon dating? I don't know enough about it...but the whole subject provides endless fascination and I'm eager to see what comes next.

@@recoilrob324 Or the "salt coating" is just another lie. The pyramids were open for millenia. Who dicovered the queens chamber? Everything was broken up, when western civilisations arrived at the scene. The arabs tell a lot of fairy tails. All salt crusts were removed because they were classified as dirt I assume. Like the graffittis and torch soot.

@@knutblume907 We'll never know for sure, but Caliph Al Ma'mun who is credited with being the first to gain entrance to the upper chambers wrote pretty extensively about the work and what he documented has turned out to be accurate. The 'robbers tunnel' most likely was actually dug from inside out...and the obvious reason would be to remove something from inside that wouldn't fit through the small winding passage that had given them access. Thoughts are that it was the lid to the sarcophagus which he took as a souvenir. I believe it was he that first described the salt coating and this was repeated by others over the centuries before modern times...so I'm wanting to believe it.

@@recoilrob324 Interesting. I think the kings chamber was breached in the 1st intermediate period because everything went to hell. But I only know Al Ma´muns experiences from secondary literature. Besides all of this there are drawn pictures of the 17th century showing visitors entering the great gallery through the well shaft. It seems the robbers entrance was forgotten from time to time. P.S.: The picture I mean is actually from the Description de l'Égypte (1809) the famous collection of texts and pictures that came about as a result of Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian expedition.

I believe the boats were C14 tested, but I don't have a handy reference or paper about it.

Exactly. the pyramids might have undergone many renovations and that should be included in the discussion... I still believe Edgar Cayce . . .

The megalithic pyramids were made of cast geopolymer concrete and required no mortar. They were never built with carved stones from quarries hundreds of km away, but from the limestone gravel excavated from the Giza plateau itself, then mixed with chemical binders until a form of concrete was created. As for the Bent Pyramid itself, i have studied many pictures and diagrams of its internal chambers and conduits. Both the lower chamber and the upper chamber have been extensively modified during the dynastic period to serve as some kind of ritual places and to create ease of access to people. These modifications include small step staircases made of masonry, closed off spaces with walls, small rooms created in the upper chamber using wooden beams and small masonry blocks as well as mortar. The upper chamber stepped ceiling was also roughly carved by workers for some strange reason. All of the carbon dating has been made from materials from these renovations or modifications made by a people with clearly inferior engineering skill and are not relevant to the actual construction or purpose of the pyramid, in my opinion. The carbon dates show ages of between 3-4000 years BC which means about 5000 years ago, when we know from history the dynastic kingdoms were active. This means the pyramids were much older than this date and are from a different civilization altogether. The dynastic egyptians simply found them in a state of ruin, just like our civilization did. During my studies of the inner chambers of the pyramids i have concluded that they were more likely industrial structures and the inner tunnels functioned as conduits for fluids or air. They were never build for people to go crawling around in them. Many pyramids also have valves separating various chambers and conduits which also indicates a system to control the fluids into and out of the chambers. The story that pyramids were build as tombs is crumbling with each exploration and subsequent mapping of the inner chambers of the pyramids and one day we will figure out what type of industry the pyramids were actually built for.

Absolutely

Possible maybe but if all the dates match a same time period from each pyramid and matches with what we know from other evidence, it's kinda unlikely that it is the case.

Der Vatikan besitzt tausende ägyptischer artefacts. Ich denke sehr viele Beweise wie alt die Pyramiden sind und wie sie gebaut wurden wurden entfernt oder zerstört. Die Kirche hat damals entschieden das der Mensch dieses Wissen nie bekommen wird.

I’ve loved everything Egyptian for 50 years. But try looking at from another perspective. WHY…do archaeologists want to shut down any and ALL information that does NOT fit with the ‘narrative’??

It’s ALL been proven now…that 2 Millenia ago… ‘religion’ covered up what the ORIGINAL Hebrew writers wrote about MANY Millenia ago. And religion, govts & elites will not give up their lies. It’s ALL in plain sight now.

You might like World of Antiquity.

Why the ridicule about "aliens?" How do you know they weren't? Do you know that the Great Pyramid had a hieroglyph over the original door? You know what happened to it? Zawhi Hawass had it CHISELED OFF. Because the hieroglyphs weren't Egyptian and in an unknown language. Look it up on the web, there are photos of the inscription. Its also in older books on the pyramids. Funny thing is that they symbols used look like the symbols on the Roswell I-beams. Even funnier I can no longer find any photos of that inscription over the door. If you're interested I can go find my book with the photo of it. Its not a conspiracy theory, its real and it was the only actual writing on that pyramid, and my book was a guide to the pyramid.

"I hope your videos spur current and future archaeologists, Egyptologists, etc. to focus on this issue. Perhaps the Old Guard has to die off before others can make headway" I think you may be misreading this somewhat. It's less a case of set attitudes as funding in many cases. HfG implies that Koch 'pressured' events in his favor - but all Koch has power to do is throw money at the right people for the job in this case. Ergo archaeologists simply did not view carbon dating as a priority when targeting new research paths, or applying for funding to pursue any such investigations. Money makes the world go round - and Koch knows that better than most. Every time an archaeologist comes begging for funding from person x they are potentially drawing from a finite well of philathropic goodwill - each request could be the last time they get anything, so it follows that they will only pursue funding for the research that they actually want to do. When an entitled rich pr**k like a Koch comes knocking you say "OK, we don't want to pursue this personally, but if you drop enough cash to fund excavations for another 5-10 years besides what you want, then we will be happy to drop what we are doing to pursue this for you". Simple give and take.

"but I now understand that Zahi and the establishment think they ONLY have incentive to keep the "MYSTERY" it's self alive" LAUGHS in Hancock, von Danicken, Foerster, Dunn, Carlson etc etc etc etc. Those people have millions of book sales incentive worth of keeping the mystery alive to keep their bank accounts flush with cash - and what are they actually contributing to the conversation but the same old florid speculation laced heavily with anti establishment derision? Meanwhile for all Hawass's many faults he is still at work and excavations / discoveries continue in Egypt - many recently at Saqqara and the recent rediscovery of Akhetaten. "What possible reason could we have to NOT radio carbon date" Simplest answer? Priorities. Archaeologists want to find something new much more than they want to investigate things already found - analysis is boring and discovery is cool! That's why there is a dearth of Assyriologists qualified to translate the massive gamut of cuneiform tablets archaeological excavations have turned up in the last 2 centuries. Who wants to sit around teasing minuscule bits of organic material from building mortar when you can be digging out trenches at Saqqara or Gobekli Tepe? More complex answer? Funding is a limited well of opportunity. The more you draw from it, the less likely you are to get something worth the effort of asking. Each new request to a wealthy benefactor runs the risk of said benefactor feeling like they are being taken advantage of and either deciding to use their funds for other philanthropic endeavors or stop funding them entirely. In this context personal priorities play an even more paramount role - especially if you lack a tenured institutional position to afford being more financially lax with your choices.
