Its great. I vote for it

The new standard by which all exploration videos should incorporate.

Your work is incredibly valuable, thank you for it!

Will you also look into the Red, Bent and Midun Pyramids?

Yes, we will definitely be looking at those as well.

@@HistoryforGRANITE excellent!

Do you know the channel: land of chem? He has a theory that the pyramids were ammonia production center, not as a modern factory, but alchemical production, with some spiritual and practical elements on it. It explains why the looters couldn't find the treasure and kept digging. It explains the salt on the walls, the lack of a lavish art, the lack of a cerimonial space to drag the pharaoh to the chamber, the smell of ammonia even without bats, the similarities with water level ancient systems that uses blocks and pressure, and some german scientists are almost doing a reverse engineering to produce ammonia. It's a great theory, you should at least check it out. My bet is even the egyptians didn't know the purpose of the pyramid after hyksos invasion. A lost knowledge after war and political chaos. Like dark age Britons thinking London was built by giants after the fall of rome.

Duuude! History for GRANITE is AWESOME.... I love your presentations and am always waiting for your next video... I've always had a fascination with history and in particular ancient Egypt. A guy called Brian Forster publishes videos and postulates that the tools and techniques as well as the true nature of these amazing mystical structures are not what we are being let to believe... I have worked in stone quarries and understand the requirements to be able to effectively cut stone.... When I see extremely hard and durable granite being cut and smoothed so precisely I am seriously skeptical how copper chisels and honing could be used to achieve such results... I would really like to hear your thoughts on whether the current narrative is valid or if you think some other type of technology may have been used instead of copper.... Or even if copper tooling was used are there any demonstration videos out there.... Cheers from Australia...

I wonder why

anything beats that shit . waste of money . Which is what its designed to milk your subscription

History Channel is a bunch of lies.

Maybe cuz its not filled with alien crap?

Well there's a low bar.

According to Wiki Userkaf was the 20th tallest Pyramid ever built. There are 10 Pyramids between height of 49-58 Meters. Only 10 Pyramids are 60+ Meters tall and the Great Pyramid 146m and Khafre 143m stand alone 40 Meters taller than the third place Pyramid (Bent Pyramid 105m).

High radioactivity has been found inside this pyramid, and abundance of lithium, perhaps it suffered an attack by aliens

A 16 story building basically. Each story is generally 10 feet in modern buildigs.

this peramida was first built by the ancient Ukrainians, 20 thousand years ago

@@shikaka9032 You're a funny guy...

@ 1:12 "...5 and 6 dynasty into mounds of weathered rock..." wait, what? 'Weathered'? In the Sahara??? When did it last rain in the Sahara? 10,000 or 12,000 years ago? So, it had been exposed for millenia, millenia ago? So, how old is it again?

@@alacrityaudiooffice7716 could be all the sand blowing in the wind

@@alacrityaudiooffice7716 Most of the damage was caused by humans (looting of stone). Also, I believe many of these later pyramids had cores made of brick and rubble, and there are enough downpours over thousands of years to erode them.

@@TerrificDreams Hahaha, I love sarcasm.

@@awuma Erm, how about "NO!"

Unas is usually open. You must have just got there on an unlucky day. I have not heard anything about it closing again. It re-opened on the 26th of May 2016 after a 20-year closure and has been open every time I've been to Saqqara since then. Sekhemkhet has never been open to my knowledge and they usually will not even let you go near it. My wife and I were fortunate to see the exterior once though. And, of course, Userkaf is never open either. As the title of this video states, it's really the "First Look," I assure you. I would guess that at least 95 percent of Egyptologists have not been inside of it.

@@shikaka9032any evidence for this?

A bit of time spent with Google Earth shows that the region actually has quite a lot of interesting features, but the only ones which seem to garner any attention are the ones that tourists want to visit.

definitely: those engineers had mysterious ways of moving megaliths... like silk.

There are hundreds of pyramids, and more in Sudan than Egypt.

There are thousands of pyramids all around the world. After many visits to Egypt I personally feel they are all a lot older than suggested (12000 years plus).

@@Anton-ji4td Judging strictly by the size of the blocks i would say they were made by the giants of the Gemini zodiac age (6400-8600 years ago). These people were about 3 times the size of modern age people so for them the average pyramid bock would have been about knee high. There are also a few murals from egyptian temples showing us these large people who existed during the dynastic ages as well. The more we go back in time the larger the humans were, so 12000 years ago there would have been huge 6-10 m tall people. Those are the ones that probably built the giant cities, walls and pyramids of Europe and Asia because their geopolymer blocks were much larger than the pyramid ones.

YEAH LIKE JIMMY!!🤣

Hey, Bob UK. Are you Moon Knight?

For images, Pepi I is probably the hardest to come by. Pepi II was opened briefly in 2019 which was very fortunate. I have a little bit of Merenre but not nearly enough!

Personally, for me, I see these things as attempts to copy the great pyramid[s], and I don't believe these piles of rubble were built before the great pyramids - as test runs before creating the greatest snd enduring structure on earth..which by the way, is still futuristic, and will be a thousand years into the future. An ancient Egyptian People whose state of art tools and weapons that primarily consisted of bows and arrows, wood tipped spears, wooden mallets, hatchets and axes, had NO SKIN in the construction of the great Pyramid . These piles of rubble in comparison to the Great pyramids on the Giza plateau, proves the Egyptians could never duplicate what they had inherited . It's obvious to me why pyramid building STOPPED.

​@@richardcoram1562 Get out of here...

until 1959 january free arabs and egyptians and all-sorts were at home in cuba. we even had bhaharati cantonese.. piles of armenians jews. .. all at home. am the end of 400 yrs cuban family. eisenhower(R)'s installing yet another sovistalinist slaver regime ended it. ps the soviet missiles are still there.. the "Republican" legacy is death of countries total disasters.

🔴 If we see a Territory Human Civilisation Evolution Map we all come from there Probably there was some people in other places but in the end they were probably killed or have mixed blood with the Egiptians region Then we are all the same , only that some have stayed in Egipt others have go to other places

🟠 Their level of Math , geography , astrology , etc was far above our We just discovery in the late years I guess only the dumb survived or the Pyramides wasnt made by this civilisation

🟡 They already knew the secret geometry and its hidden powers We will probably only learn about it in 100 or 1000 years

🟢 They were probably almost all spiritual awakened We have just around 9/10 millions humans spiritually awakened ( 0.1% ) The rest are dumbs like me who are having a hard time making it or the dumbs that cant even see it 😅

Time recycles all. It takes a unified culture to maintain even stone works. We can't even keep our statues up today because of iconoclasts. They always exist when cultures are stressed. Humans burn down their own culture out of ignorance and lost ideals. Most of the pyramids were looted by their own culture, because they knew what they represented, who built them, what was inside, and even understood how they were built as evident from how they dug into them.

they're tombs

@@entertainme7523 Highly doubt it, way too much evidence otherwise.

It is interesting, perhaps @AncientArchitects with his geology degree can help us out. The trend I've seen so far is that they grow on limestone where moisture gets trapped.

@@HistoryforGRANITE thanks, looking forward to it.

​@@HistoryforGRANITE I am not a geologist, just a layman who was a water chemist in the navy and took a geology class in college last semester. First off, natural limestone is essentially just a sedimentary rock that is formed on a sea bed from CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) falling to the ocean floor and building up over years. Calcium carbonate is found in invertebrates shells, phytoplankton's little exoskeletons, fish bones ect. So limestone is formed at the bottom of an ocean. How the salt crystals are formed: Water at the base of an interior wall (from rain or flooding) is wicked up through the porous stone, dissolving salt solids contained within the stone structure. The salt is redeposited as crystals when the water evaporates further up the wall. That type of salt crystal formation is known as efflorescence. The other more common type of salt crystal is an evaporite or the crystals that are left behind when a pool of salty water dries. The water wicking up and leaving crystals behind further up the wall is generally how these halite crystals are formed in the pyramids, regardless of where the salt contained within the blocks originated from. Egyptology easily dismisses the salt crystals, saying they form from salt naturally found in limestone. Seeing that limestone is formed on the bottom of a salty sea bed, this explanation is easy to rectify and move on from. Salty ocean, rock from the ocean, salty rock. It makes sense. It may or may not be an adequate explanation though. Consider, anecdotally, that halite is not found in the same abundance in natural limestone caves as it is in Egyptian architecture. If you've ever toured a cavern, what you likely saw way not an abundance of salt, but calcium stalactites. Perhaps Egyptian limestone just has high salt content than typical limestone, but looking into this, it is not common for NaCl efflorescence to occur on limestone (see page 111 of the study linked below, only one out of six samples had a small amount of chloride efflorescence). There's another argument that's way more fun. Some of the hardcore geopolymer believers think that the salt is a result of magnesium chloride being added to the geopolymer mix that was used to pour "limestone" megaliths. The magnesium chloride would have been used as a neutralizing agent. Geopolymer mix (concrete) would be very caustic/high pH from the addition of caustic soda. The wet mix's pH would have been high enough to cause chemical burns to workers unless neutralized (the way Primitive Technology's hands were burned in his last hut build video). The magnesium chloride (carnallite, another evaporite similar to halite) would have reacted with the sodium-containing alkalies (aka the lye or wood ash added to the concrete mix). This would neutralize things and make the mix safe to handle. A byproduct of the reaction between MgCl and NaOH being NaCL (halite/table salt). This salt would precipitate as an efflorescence in the confined space of the interior chambers over time, and explain why some claim that pyramid stones taste salty. So two theories: 1) Egyptian limestone is somewhat of a geologic anomaly, with higher-than-typical salt content, for a yet to be explained reason (plausible) 2)Salt is formed from a chemical reaction during the casting of the blocks. Limestone with large halite crystals growing on its walls was likely poured using geopolymer rather than quarried (also plausible) Thanks for reading if you made it this far, love the channel. study: core.ac.uk/download/pdf/16750857.pdf geopolymer chemistry: www.geopolymer.org/archaeology/pyramids/pyramids-3-the-formula-the-invention-of-stone/

@@user-rd7gf6jg5r thanks loads Sam for taking the time and effort to post all of that. Sounds like a subject someone could do an experiment on. Take samples from quarries known to have been used in ancient times and also samples from the stones near the salt crystals and do chemical analysis. Yes I know there's a slim chance you could get some of those sampies, but interesting all the same. Again thanks.

Do you really believe pre-historic people were capable of building pyramids with fine cut granite? The data is showing otherwise.

@@MrAchile13 When I say prehistoric, I'm referring to a technologically advanced lost civilization. Prehistory!!! What data can you present proving Dynastic construction?? Oh sorry, the outer core of mud bricks 😃- yeah right!

@@michaelcollins4665 the archaeological context, C14 dating, structural evolution, Egyptian accounts, the fact it's a pyramid (and we know when they were first constructed and why), sealing mechanisms, the evolution of megalithism in Egypt etc. The list goes on and on. The real question is, can you name only one single piece of evidence for this supposed advanced civilization, older then the Egyptians?

@@chompers11 I have tons of pics and a few videos of the work I've done on this old farmhouse which was built in 1891, it was boarded up and was probably going to be torn down. Like I mentioned in my comment, tons of landscaping and stone work throughout the whole property, rock gardens, ponds, terracing but I have no idea how to post pictures here. Thanks for the interest though....cheers.

@@royormonde3682 make a simple video with all the pics and videos on it and upload it on KZfaq! It sounds incredible

I have no idea but there are lots of things you can see these odd little trends rise and fall in, sometimes without much explanation. Like I do a lot of lockpicking and there were trends of spool pins getting more and more narrow, and then it seemed to go back to "normal," then fall a bit out of fashion, and then get picked up again. Sometimes it is just looking back and thinking, I bet I could that a bit better and get the same result now as this more slightly complicated way. Sometimes it is just, everyone is adjusting to this, go back to something people haven't seen for a minute. If we look at it as a skill being passed down, you probably have cases of apprentices graduating and wanting to leave their mark and pushing something new, then a "old ways are the best" rise up a bit. Weirdly I've even seen trends rise and fall in furniture getting moved in a preference alternating between flat carts and dollies. Someone gets in a jam one day and can't grab a flat cart so they grab a dolly instead and it works and they stick with that for awhile.

See the European and even North American use of Greek and Roman designs because of ancient nostalgia.

Same idea as the castle, it's a vertical defensive barrier that is raised/lowered.

Money alone wouldn’t get you in. You’d need the right connections as well. No idea how it was done!

Well, err, um, yeah.
