A lot of people believe that the Pyramids of Giza were built by slaves. And if they didn't think they were built by slaves, they think they were built by aliens. I've made this video to tell you that neither of them did!

○ WE USED TO EAT MUMMIES?! • You Won't Believe Why ...
The pyramids were highly skilled building projects that involved a lot of work from highly skilled people like architects, engineers, mathematicians, you name it! It was an evolutionary process that took centuries to perfect.
The pyramids were not the work of ancient aliens, and Homer was incorrect in saying that the pyramids were built by 100,000 people, and the bible doesn't ever directly mention the pyramids when discussing the enslavement of the Israelites.

I was examining the ideas Christians "believe." Yes, they vote. According to their favorite authors of a book of magical enchantments who wrote that SuperGodSr ripped out one of Adam's ribs, then shouted 'ABRACADABRA!' and the rib turned into a human. Adam then married his own rib. Marriage was defined as a man and his talking rib. The book of magical enchantments said they could even make their own riblets with the help of Jesus. Then Adam’s rib couldn't stop talking so Adam went to his man-cave for some peace and quiet, thus creating the first caveman. That’s why the book of magical enchantments said Adam’s ribs must be quiet in Church because men are naturally smarter than ribs! The book of magical enchantments said Adam and his descendants even enjoyed barbecuing ribs for SuperGodSr. That’s why men still love barbecuing in their backyard at their altar for their very own blood sacrifices. When men are barbecuing they click the tongs twice to scare away the Boogeyman. The Bible said Aaron and Moses had a wooden stick turn into a living snake. After it was over, they put the magic wood in the Ark of the Covenant and saved it for later. Geppetto was able to carve Pinocchio with the magic wood. Biblical archeologists are able to show that Geppetto and Pinocchio survived in the belly of a great fish thereby confirming, according to Biblical scholars, the Bible is true. The Bible said SuperGodSr’s ghostly rocket ship sped through star-studded space and penetrated Mary who just entered childhood puberty. In his rocket ship’s cargo hold was carried His precious seed: SuperGodSr’s sole survivor, JESUS H. CHRIST! A passing Joseph found the uninjured child and took SuperGodJr home. As the years went by and the child grew to maturity, He found himself possessed of amazing physical and mental powers. Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. The infant of SuperGodSr is now the Man of Steel: SuperGodJr! To best be in a position to use His amazing powers in a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice and 'The American Way', SuperGodJr has assumed the disguise of Jesus H. Christ, mild-mannered Sky Reporter for the Great American Busybody Association. These was FACTS were verified by government workers in charge of the US SCOTUS and by the Swiss Army Knife guy who doesn't own a comb starring on America's "History Channel" TV documentary "Ancient Aliens: The Religion Virus." [episode 666]. As they say on TV, "Wait, there's MORE to the story!" At these meetings people love to give away their money to hear these Bronze Age tribal stories in the 21st Century. If a person believes all of these tribal ghost stories that person can respawn into eternal bliss, for a weekly donation of course. It's a PROVEN FACT that the night before His cruci-fiction, Jesus was in the garden praying, "Dad, DAD! Do You hear ME? Wake-up! It's ME - YOU, Jesus! What are YOU doing? I need to catch up on the latest gossip. Are YOU still helping people find their oxcart keys?" The Bible is TRUE because the Bible SAID it’s TRUE and the Bible SAID it can’t LIE, so that makes the Bible a PROVEN FACT! Why do these non-believers deny these PROVEN FACTS? It's as plain as the nose on Pinocchio's face. These non-believers are in serious denial of this reality. That’s why the Bible’s authors wrote with the magic wood that SuperGod is Three Pinocchios in One carved Pinocchio. These non-believers of SuperGod need to WAKE UP! We pray that Casper: The Holy Ghost 👻 will convince them BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! Don’t let the BOOGEYMAN’S FINAL BARBECUE catch you by surprise!

And I agree with what ya said about the discounting of the ancient cultures, that was what made my b. s. radar go off the first time I heard of the whole ancient alien thing.

@@danielfallu5716 im in my 30s now and started doing some critical thinking in regards to a lot of stuff. Like most people I've always been fascinated by the pyramids so annually I'd always return back and to learn something. This time I added debunked to graham Hancock so I could to see what the opposition says or rather the official line in regards to the pyramids. I found a 2 hour video by Stephan milo which was really informative and things just started clicking. Graham uses Joe Rohan's platform a lot, a known disinformation/misinformation platform. I found out graham is a massive stoner (no judgement so I am) so let's just say a mysterious story when baked is a wonderful and exciting things but far from academic, he wraps everything up in a pretty package. I thought he was a archaeologist or had a background in but he doesn't he's an author. Stephen mentioned how graham would use race more in his writings before he married a black women. The cross over between co vid nuts and ancient aliens/Egypt too and thinking I share values with people that refuse to acknowledge something in front of them. And I think finally would be like dunning/kruger effect thing or something, I did terrible in science (I'm in UK) in the bottom class all in high school so I'm not very educated in this field to fight ideas but someone saying "hey the MAN isn't telling you the whole story but dw bro I got you, I write books on this" is very alluring. On a personal level I still like graham. He seems funny, compassionate and a happy person and would love to a smoke with him! I think he believes everything he says too and society needs people that don't think inside the box But raven is great and id rather have a smoke with her and talk pyramids.

@@tyeboyce I would point something out to you. A lot of your "insight" comes from your prefrontal cortex. That part of the brain as it happens is the last to fully develop. So for most their prefrontal cortex will continue to develop until their mid to late-20's. So you say you are now in your 30's and have developed better "critical thinking skills" to recognize the superficial assumptive nonsense of Hancock et al = and this is likely part of the reason for that. As to the rest absolutely Dunning-Kruger plays a major role. The advent of the internet and social media has resulted in individuals who lack the skill set to discern between what is credible and what is not are now able to access information via venues which often do not come with mechanism to verify what is being claimed. When people got their news from news media - print and television - what was offered typically underwent vetting for accuracy. Today however many attempt to "self research" what are "esoteric/arcane" subjects however often leading to poor assumptions as they lack the background in the field. You can certainly lookup online information about say neurosurgery = but that will not make you a neurosurgeon........ Moral of the story: the "alternative" schtick being a business generates specious assumptive narratives while attacking academia in order to monetize the response. Glad you came to realize what a scam it really is. Enjoy your day.

I dismissed the alien theory for the building of the pyramids when I was a kid. Immediately. Why would an advanced people who conquered space travel...at obviously faster than light speeds...come to Earth just to build things out of rocks? Air conditioning would have been more of a gift. A Combustible engine would have been more impressive. Even a bicycle would have been more helpful than an epically overly large tomb built to feed a guys ego. Why would aliens even care about that to help with it?

My first exposure to Ancient Aliens and Atlantis nonsense was in junior high school. I liked science fiction and wanted to believe in UFOs and ancient alien visitors. Unfortunately I was also interested in Science and history and already had experience with critical thinking. I found the books of the infamous Error von Dummkopf* in the library and was very impressed with the idiocy of reasoning, like, "scientists say this isn't true, so it must me true" and the reverse. His idea of evidence was also stupid, such as this circle or semicircle with radiating lines over the stick figure's head MUST me a space suit helmet. This was absurd as I had already seen images of native people with headdresses that could be depicted this way in sketches. I remember thinking, how can adults actually believe this, shouldn't these books be in the fiction section? There are so many von Dummkopf* type videos on the Internet, spreading disinformation, anti-science and conspiracy beliefs that I am overjoyed to find another high quality, rational, science and critical thinking based channel to watch. Thanks Raven and Prof. Miano. *The name has been changed to protect the guilty. This is not intended to make fun of German names, but of the appalling content.

2.3 million stones in 20 years is approx. 314 stones per day or 13 stones per hour or 4.6 minutes per stone ...day and night and not to discard the fact of increased constriction of space maneuvers for the workers as they would approach the apex of the pyramid assuming it was built from the bottom to the top. Also the perfect alignment as well as precision needed to construct this structure. Quite amazing undertaking one would say.

It’s frightening to see you break down the building statistics mathematically as if progress flowed in at a linear pace. You do realize that stones were not placed by one crew, one at a time, and that it is entirely within reality that, at any one moment, there could have been hundreds of stones being moved into their respective position by thousands of people somewhere in the layout. Just because you can’t comprehend how this would be organized doesn’t mean that aliens were involved. The fact is that men had the means to cut the stones, move them, and position them accurately using low tech methods like spacing jigs etc. They did not need aliens to meet the estimated project deadline of 20 years.

Since you have an extensive knowledge of stone cutting in Egypt, I wonder what your opinion is of Gobekli Tepe and the stone cutting found there 3 to 5 thousand years before the pyramids. The precision there is crazy. I went to school studying mostly Mayan architecture, but Egyptology is fascinating as well. Pyramids are apparently very popular lol.

From what I've seen experimental archaeologists do with a few rocks, string and a bit of sand has shown that even the simplest of tools can be used to create the precision that we see at that site. Love the Mayans! Really need to look into that area of the world a bit more :)

The "alternative" schtick - which is by the way very much a business = only really attacks videos which directly debunk their superficial, assumptive narratives. You see the same with other legitimate history/science channels whereby videos which directly speak to their nonsense will be blitzed via trolls/sockpuppets - while others which do not tend to generate less activity. 🤔 p.s. - do not forget _"the Lord of the Algorithms."_ Sadly credible information videos such as these are of course "swept to the bottom of the pile" if you will because the algorithms which push them into user's feeds = favors trash. Misinformation/disinformation/pseudoscience/history being the most hyperbolic + playing upon the usually poor assumptions of people owing to an excess of consumption of the entertainment genre which promotes the same tends to get the most play because the basis of monetization here is = "clicks". So it creates the perverse incentive structure you see here whereby the worse the content and more fantastical the claims - even if outright nonsense - then the more likely people will see it. If this channel garnered more attention as it should then rest assured these videos would see exponentially more trolls attacking it. For the most part however the "alternative" trash tries to protect "its' brand" by attacking videos which directly correlate to what they are claiming. Enjoy your day.

People tend to underestimate our ancestors and think they are Neanderthals and used primitive tools and ropes, ramps and boats to transport mega stone blocks. The problem with these sort of thinking is the unwillingness to accept that in the past there will be instances when people live in between two different technological ages. No different if I went to live with an Amazon tribe and during one dark night the fire was out and the tribe was concerned. The chief turned to me and said "Joseph can you do something, please". So I pull out my cell phone and yell "Let there be light", and there was light. The tribe chief exclaimed "My God... how did you do that?" Now would I leave behind my cell phone and walk away? Definitely not. The chief and his tribe will never figure out how I did it and it would be too difficult to explain. So I said to the chief "You can get one of this things from Samsung, you know", and I left it at that. So you will never ever find the instruments or evidence of these technology that helped built the pyramids or Cuzco or Puma Punku in Peru. Egypt and Peru is miles apart yet the technology is the same. Just think about it.

The science of archeology was designed to prove the Bible as a historical book. The more the archeologists dug, the more they were confronted with the Black origin of the pyramids. The more they dug they have now found that the Bible is actually only 25% historical and 75% prophetic, particularly the slavery in Egypt. This portion of the Scripture has been fulfilled in America, the South being referred to as little Egypt in historical documents. Much more of these discoveries have been hidden. Cremo and Thompson wrote a phenomenal book exposing this practice in The Hidden History of The Human Race.

It's not possible to build the foundations or retaining wall or chambers below in 20 years. But if it was used as an observatory before then, and a pumping station, then it could have been finished off as a pyramid in 20 years. The clue to how is the notched grooves in the floor of the Grand Gallery leading up to the so called Kings Chamber. They levered the huge granite blocks into place there's a great video by a French engineer showing how and what each groove in the floor did.

Perhaps you should work on your reading skills.......... Work on the pyramids took place = year round. What Herodotus wrote was that the workforce was rotated every 3 months. Ancient Egypt had _"the corvee"_ which supplied a labor pool for public works. So able bodied Egyptians were required to work part of each year on public works. So the 3 month period Herodotus wrote would indicate the corvee workforce was changed out every 90 days. The diary of Merer relates that his boat crew worked "a season" each year to deliver the Tura limestone to Giza. A season = the 2-3 months each year when the Nile flood its banks and water levels were higher to allow the heavily laden barges to access the harbor areas. Once delivered onsite then that stone could be worked and placed during the rest of the year. 🤨

* Hi Raven. Say, I was just wondering, do you know if that's true or not that there are some egyptologist that believe that Heit el-Ghurab was actually renovation projects of the pyramids, as opposed to building them from scratch? Also, this is a little off topic but, have you heard anything about how some people believe that "Prince Thutmose"(older brother of "Akhenaten") was, in fact, the historical "Moses"? Presumably, the "real" Mt. Sinai was found in Saudi Arabia and all of the archaeological evidence to connect it, including the cave of "Elijah". * I guess the Saudis call the mountain "Jabal al Lawz". Thutmoses III was Prince Thutmose great, great grandfather, and wasn't he the one who saw those circles of fire in the sky? Then, Akhenaten was Prince Thutmose's younger brother, and after Prince Thutmose died, Akhenaten started his monotheistic practice of worshiping only 1 god named "Aten", and then "Tutankhamun was Prince Thutmose's nephew. Did you hear anything about a dagger found in the tomb of Tutankhamun that was found to have some strange properties. * Something about what it was made out of was way before its time, and they don't seem to know where this dagger could've come from, or how it could've been made. Then, amateur archaeologist "Ron Wyatt supposedly found the "Ark of the Covenant" below or in Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified. I was just wondering what your take on all of that is. The thing that sucks, is that they won't let any archaeologists go to these places and try to study and verify any of these claims. I don't know why that is.

Hope you read this. In regards to your closing comments it is also helpful to remember that European descent peoples make up less than 20 percent of the global population. Ancient aliens does discount their only ancient work, Stonehenge. But more importantly the Europeans don't have epic ancient sites to credit to "aliens". The comparison of Easter Island and Notre Dame is not effective because of the relative time difference in recorded history. Compare European history and prehistory, prior to Roman expansion we have very little recorded data. Doesn't mean it wasn't written, we just wouldn't recognize it if we saw it, runes are one example. None of these comments should be misconstrued as excusing the disrespect of ancestors of color, however our Caucasian ancestors did fail to leave us epic ancient mysteries.

So the people who built the pyramids were no slaves because they had good food and Herodotus did "lie" sometimes? I mean they would house and feed them well. And educate them. But they still can be slaves. So if Herodotus got that from stories from Egyptians in his time it still can bee true. Much of what he said is not a lie. The fact that bones of the people who build the pyramids were found who were literally worked to death (i.e. signs of hard labour on the bones) in my opinion points to slaves. And in my opinion you have not proven otherwise, only conjecture. So in the end we cannot prove one or the other so you CANNOT say that the pyramids were not built by slaves. We don't know.

Hi Raven, I love these videos and explanations but I still have questions: What about the 38 pyramids of China starting in the Neolithic Hongshan culture (4700 to 2900 BCE)? Or the Mayan pyramid of Chichen Itza in Mexico? Why are they all 4 sided? You said in one of the videos that a pyramid is the most stable structure to make with the least amount of materials, so why we don't see 3 sided pyramids (that would require less materials than the 4 sided ones) And aside from the crocked pyramid, why aren't they any pyramids with isosceles sides (either steeper or flatter)? And last but not least, why isn't Jude on all the videos? does she have her own channel? If she is ever in the Holy Land again tell her to drop me a line and I'll take her out for at least Pizza, shawarma or something.

Three sided pyramids are very awkward to build, those 60 degree angles are a pain to work with, much simpler to go with something based on clean 90 and 45 degree angles. Try and build a three sided pyramid out of basic Lego bricks and you'll see what i mean. Same reason why people nowadays build houses with four walls and not three, right angles are more convenient. Also, humans just don't tend to think in terms of 3 way symmetries, for example we orient ourselves to 4 cardinal directions.

Thoth the engineer? , and no, not slaves, but may be some like the indentured servants.... those pressed into the building services. Great pyramids themselves were built before the flood(s) and there is apparently no record of who or what actually built those particular structures. It was certainly not Khufu, nor his relatives. Heit-el-Ghurab? Try deeper, there are three known occupation layers in that area, maybe more. Egyptians trace their history back before the Pharaohs, and record the names of 'Gods and demigods' of those they claim originally ruled over Egypt, similar to what the Sumerians record. So hence, the rise of 'Ancient Aliens' theories. True research , if done criminal-justice investigation style is the collection of all available theories and evidence, testimony, legends, myths, eye witness accounts, physical artifacts and so on, THEN accessing them from most probable to least, never actually thawing anything out, since later research may end up pointing towards the least likely hypothesis. Eventually the pieces of the puzzle will hopefully be arranged well enough to give the complete picture. Why bring up race? The people of Mexico have the earliest proven mound style pyramid, proven so because it is partially surrounded by a lava flow dating to some 7,000 BC. Gobeckli Tepe, its surrounding same type ruins to 9k-10k BC. Megaliths are all over the world, which might be older than what scholars try to tell us. Ancient North America traded with the Egyptians, both North and south (Nubian) kingdoms, and Phoenicia . And there might have been a reason Colombus called South America India to start with, he had access to writings and maps we don't have today. Also check out Praveen Mohan's channel for Indian ancient temples. And none of the three main early great civilizations were located in Europe, with all tracing by their legends to preflood existances.
