I hated history in high school. 20 years later, waking up and watching history documentaries until bedtime is basically my ultimate fantasy day.

Imagine being so smart as an Engineer that your work is deemed aliencraft thousands of years in the future...

Fun fact: Cleopatra lived closer in time to us than she did the pyramids construction

It’s so obvious I said it in another comment section, Isaac Newton wasn’t born and gravity wasn’t invented yet, people could float up and bricks weren’t as heavy

The Great Pyramid of Giza contains 2.3 million individual blocks of stone, meaning one block would have to be laid every five minutes of every hour, 24 hours a day, for the entire 20 years.

Is nobody else confused about the whole "aliens would have had to go back in time because humans couldn't calculate the speed of light accurately until the 50's" part?

After that explanation I have no doubts now that aliens built the pyramids. 😂

Egyptians be like: *Hmm... You know what this vast, open desert needs? Some enormous triangles!*

I remember building the pyramids, man those aliens worked us hard

The way how this narrator talks is so chill and cool

the Anuknakis came from Orion constellation and they taught humans how to build pyramids . The Giza pyramids are aligned with the Orion constellation

Dont have a title like u 100% confirm how its built while all the experts still completely cant confirm any of existing theories

modern people have become so accustomed to relying on machines that we've forgotten how much humans are actually capable of doing with little else than our own two hands and feet, and some clever ingenuity..

I think the reason most people hated history in high school was because teachers hardly ever pointed out the parallels between historical events and ideas to our everyday lives today. Kids would always say "why do we have to learn about stuff that happened so long ago that has nothing to do with us, now". The simple animation of things makes history seem somewhat more relatable than flipping through a textbook full of black and white photos and arguably the most important trait to exercise while studying history is empathy; putting oneself in the world of the past as best as possible in order to draw a connection to where we are today and why

I love history when I was in school and 20 years later I still read and watch about history.

Bro mind boggling how much work went into it… if we made one today the same size it would still be crazy but for there time just can’t wrap my head around it. I give soo much credit to everyone who worked on it

Some people: The pyramids were built by aliens Some other people: No, the pyramids were built by israelis The Egyptians who actually built the pyramids: 👁👄👁

Just a 30 ft reduction in hight over the course of thousands of years is amazingly incredible especially considering even that is due to vandalism. The Egyptians truly were master architects.

Egypt is fascinating! I love learning about it!

I laughed when he said the camera equipment would be too heavy to carry up… the pyramids

I actually went to Egypt. Seeing and touching the pyramids was like stepping back in time.

POV: You're reading the comments as the vid plays in the background

Thanks for a rational video with evidence and experiments! Refreshing after the ancient alien theories....

I firmly believe that Zahi Hawas knows exactly. He is sitting on much information in my opinion.

Each episode is like an entire textbook chapter. I’ve been loving it for years.

"moving the blocks", you mean the 2.3 million blocks of granite with some weighing 20 tons. How do you cut and pull that with copper tools !!!!

After watching this a second time I still don't understand how they got a 6k-30k pound block onto rollers and boards (which how did they make those btw) and then if the rollers are under a board, wouldn't the board just fall off the rollers once pulled slightly forward?! This was NOT a clear explanation!!!!!

Work so hard that people think the aliens did it.

When you've spent most of your life building the Pyramids but then you discover that people think it was aliens: *sad egyptian noises*

The pyramids were built very long before the writers

When your content is directed to international viewers, please use the metric system. 2:57

5:26 Did he just call hieroglyphics ... “graffiti”?

Todays Sponsor: The illuminati!

The fact is we don't know who built the pyramids, slaves or not.

No way 8 guys are pulling a 6000 pound block of granite according to your graphic.

“Who’s responsible for building these pyramids” Early Egypt Minecraft players “Probably someone pretty cool”

I would love to visit one of these locations before my time is up. Must be beautiful and fascinating to see.

future archeologists gonna be so confused when they uncover las vegas 😂

2:51 aight what about the 2,000+ ton stones

There’s also the glaring problem with this explanation, in that Egypt was a bronze-age civilization. You cannot cut Granite with bronze tools, they are far too soft. Yet, the Egyptians were able to do so with pin-point accuracy.

Imagine building a pyramid your whole life just for the future generations to call it Aliens build it. People just underestimate what we are capable off.

So who belt the pyramids?

Great video, but the “The Great Pyramid of Giza” refers to Khufu’s pyramid. Your graphic depicts the “Pyramid of Khafre”. Khafre’s pyramid has the capstones you show and is also a bit shorter. Khafre’s pyramid (the non-great one) is often confused as the largest because of a proliferation of photo’s taken from behind the pyramid complex that create the illusion that it is larger. 😁

I loved the AC Origins DLC, you go in a city and they show live how pyramids are built

It is also worth mentioning that there are a lot of small pyramid remains in egypt some collapsed and other demolished that indicate designers were experimenting first with how to build them which would make sense since learning is a step process.

do you know that when u hit a granite with a bronze tool, after 2 hits your tool is blunt and destroyed?

You showed them using oxen to pull the sarcophagus. Why wouldn’t they use oxen and pulleys/levers to move the blocks?

Ever since carona started, I swear infographics has been spamming videos like my iPad is ligit bout to crash

80 percent of the video isn’t even about the title topic

Someone tell me how bronze cut granite. Engineers have tried. They went through ten saws in an hour and made it four mm. I don’t think it was "ALIENS". but it sure wasn’t Bronze Age technology.

I believe they used some kind of lost building method.

"It was constructed by 100.000 slaves"? U were there? U counted them?

As a native Egyptian, I really appreciate your videos on them 😊

The stones above the burial chambers AT THE TOP of the pyramid are around the same weight as two Boeing 747 airplanes. But sure , ropes and pully systems

Explain how they pulled 70 ton slabs up a ramp. Cant be done. Explain how they got those slabs out of a quarry and onto a boat . Explain how they didnt have boats big enought to carry those slabs.

Imagine calling that greek report false when you have no clue how it was built

Okay, the speed of light and coordinates of the great pyramid matching is an impossible coincidence.

Cool but you didn’t prove how the Egyptians cut the blocks so precisely.

If u place a 20 stones a day, it would take 400+ years to build 1 pyramid

It was physically and technologically impossible for humans to build those structures back then. I would like to see modern humans in the modern day lift 70 ton blocks without machinery.

Aliens that couldn’t build anything more interesting or complicated than a stone hill aren’t worth believing in.

there are so many blanks in this videos everywhere . with the knowledge we have, no one can confidently say who built them. , i do enjoy the videos

Funny how they always reenact the pyramids being built in the desert, when it was completely green at the time of construction. Makes it even more incredible how they did it 💯

It's hard to believe a civilization that used their arm as a measurement tool, were able to build something like this that has precise measurements of the fibonacci ratio and align it to true north.

"I'm not saying aliens... But Ancient Aliens." "Ancient Astronaut theorists say aliens."

prince of egypt is all the info i need "ALLLL I EVER WANTEEEEDDD" "LET MY PEOPLE GO"

Man! I really wish we had solid evidence and a word for word on how the pyramids were built it's just so unfortunate that if there was information about it it was either wiped out or no one thought to document it but man it would be so awesome to know how they were built it's just wild to think that' those huge heavy stones were laid every couple of maybe even every couple of seconds the possibility is just to end this but man oh man do I wish we had concrete evidence of how those pyramids were made and hopefully in the future we get some type of evidence who knows maybe the facts and evidence are hidden in a secret archive/library under the Sphinx 😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ who knows🤷🏻‍♂️lol

Now tell me how the lifted 100ton granite blocks 300ft in the air!? Mind you, you physically can’t drag a 10ton block up a 10% grade.

U guys should do more challenge videos. 😶 Also, thanks to you guys, I passed my history test!! Tysm!! 😀

Maybe just maybe.... roughly 10000 years ago there was a cataclysmic event that reset human civilization and the great pyramids are the lexicon needed to gain the fundamental basic knowledge of the universe that could stand the test of time.

It was used as a power plant 13 thousand years ago!

I'll never believe the pyramids were built with ropes and ramps

The egyptians are not one of the first civilisations who believed in an after life, they are the first we have traces of this belief. After-life are so common in all cultures, it would be very odd if it appears only 6000 years ago, and the burial rites of prehistoric men, including Neanderthal, can let us think that those persons also believed in an after life. It's not sure, but it could.

I just wanna know how above the Kings Quarters, (in at least one of the pyramids) there were numerous granite slabs each weighing around 70 tons but somehow were so perfectly placed, even down to the last inch 🤯

I always assumed humans built the pyramids in the same fashion ants build their hills. But nah it's a little more complicated.

There's a lot of omission in this video. How some of the stones were cut from a quarry hundreds of miles away, and how the Japanese group were successful to replicate the methods that were of the ancient Egyptians, but failed to actually replicate the pyramid in its entirety. Ultimately that was their goal and could not deliver. Not to mention the construction of the other pyramids after the 3 great pyramids were lackluster and some just incomplete.

Why do people keep tackling this issue with conviction? The answer is we don’t know and that will always be the case.

I was thinking to myself, I’m curious exactly how the pyramids were built because in recent years there’s been a lot of more discoveries… I hopefully infographics did a video… THEY DID!

people keep saying a 1000 ton object cant be moved. 1 gallon of water weighs roughly 8.37 pounds, an olympic size swimming pool has roughly 660,000 gallons of water which weighs roughly 2,752 tons if my math is right. we all know the egyptians were next to the nile river and they loved irrigation it isnt far fetched to think they some how used the power of water and math to pull or push these blocks through using irrigation channels that have been burried over the last 10,000 years etc. also the egyptians talk about how thoth ruled for around 16,000 years then left well im assuming maybe thoth was actually a representation of the power of water and the ocean and the water went away or wasnt as prevelant.

No way they built piramids with bronze tools, to lift and place multi ton blocks with such precision they needed steel for their cranes and machines saws, which means they lost the technology, probably in a cataclysm.

Ok i'm going to build a pyramid in my backyard tomorrow. It seems very easy.. Thank you for this useful informations!

They should've showed us this back in school. I probably would've pay more attention

Could we try a social experiment where we get our best labor workers, bricklayers, oildfield workers, carpenters, construction workers and try these methods?

Joe Gorelli: "Aliens came to Egypt to get water and built the pyramids" Skeptics: "why would aliens come billions of miles to get water in the middle of a desert?" Joe: "it wasn't always a desert... think about it"

Thank You Guys At Infrographics For Your Education. I Love Your Vids

Now explain how they got 2 ton stones up inclines to go on the pyramid

I tried to look deeper into the experiment done by the Obayashi Corporation, but didn't find anything... Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can find the results of this study?

The dude tries to mock the alien theory but then calls the hieroglyphics "graffiti" lol

As an Egyptian i always find myself proud seeing the pyramids being mentioned anywhere because it always feel like i am a part of this greatness and it will always make me proud.

They might have used sledges but in the main they just had loads of workers pick up the blocks and carry them. Simplest answer. Just use the power of huge numbers of workers rather than complex mechanisms. Prove its not the easiest way

Cutting 80 tons blocks with COPPER TOOLS and then lifting them 400 feet??? Ok….

Egyptians :worked hard to make sure they were praised and remembered at least Alien believers:I am going to destroy their dream

For one moment i thought: Why does this video only have 1150 likes ? Then I looked at the upload time and I noticed that it was uploaded 51 minutes ago 😂 ... kinda early

I don't wanna be one of those guys...but how were the ancient Egyptians capable of measuring the speed of light?

Mario Collepardi, an Italian Prof. (studied specifically the architecture of the pyramids,) emphasises that the Pharaohs brought the limestone dust available a lot in their area, mixed it with normal soil. Then they added water from the river Nile and lit fire to a temperature up to 900 degrees Celsius. This heat gave the stone strength and a shape similar to natural rocks. Basically to build massive buildings such as pyramids they mainly used the normal mud available near the River Nile. Then mixing it with water, placing it in templates and finally lighting the fire until it solidifies and stones are shaped the way we see today. This idea does not cost a lot of effort because workers will not carry and raise any stones, all they have to do is to make the templates in which they pour mud and transfer mud from the ground and raise them in small containers. Each worker carries a container with mud to fill the templates. Then comes the process of lighting fire until the stone is shaped and stayed in place, making sure by this way that there are no spaces between the stone and the other. Using this method helped in keeping the pyramids safe for thousands of years.

The exodus story never said the exodus people built pyramids. That was a movie. The book says they built the cities of Ramasses and Pithom.

I recall seeing a practical archeologist recreating how the Christmas Island statues were built and moved, it was surprisingly easy, without any wheels, they cut huge monoliths and moved them miles. I’ve seen dozens of “experts” since then making wild inaccurate guesses about the construction and movement of the monoliths. Similarly, in Egypt, the vast majority of the population were agricultural workers, who didn’t have much work for 8 months of the year while plants were growing.

Aetheist really need a theory like you presented. How two million giant block become so precise to build structure like this.

The real question is how do we know it took them about 30 years to build the pyramids and not 300 years, or even just 100

I wish we got all of the worlds questions answered when we die, but we probably just stop existing 😔
