Nice

This works if you are thinking in 2 dimensions, i.e. just the horizontal, but remember this has to work in 3 dimensions. If they worked from both sides, how would they get the vertical axis right too? The tunnel would have to start at exactly the same level to begin with and then not deviate up or down.

@@IfUfindthisURlost The vertical axis is easy. Water levels have been used for thousands of years for tunnels, some even over distances of several kilometres. And with the pyramids, it's even easier, as they could simply rely on the existing layers. When you dig in one specific layer, you're basically in 2D.

@@HenryLoenwind I had discounted them counting the layers, for while it works to stay at the same height working from one side, if you worked from both sides, you would both have to start at the same layer. I don't see how the party digging from inside the pyramid, out, would know they were at the same layer as the outside. Once in the entrance passage, they have no way of judging which corresponding layer they are at, because the walls of this passage are dressed and therefore give no indication as to the layers that run through the pyramid. (If that makes sense).

Every other pyramid was a tomb

I thought the same, but I think a few charts to illustrate his thought process on some of his rather lengthy chaining of ideas would better help viewers follow along without several rewindings...

Possibly even before that. A number of seemingly intact tombs have been discovered empty of anything valuable, and with no apparent forced entry. The conclusion drawn there is that the very priests who laid them to rest took everything out again before actually sealing up the tomb. The oldest pyramid might actually have even been robbed to furnish the interior of the next, with the guards being the ones responsible.

@@rianfelis3156 - I've always tried to give the priests the benefit of the doubt and think that possibly they were trying to maintain a cult and temples that had gone out of popularity and sold off the treasures a bit at a time to make ends meet. They could easily have been displayed and then tucked away until required. A few centuries of that would account for a lot. Cynical, but keeps the business going. There were at least some priests trying to preserve the royal mummies by hiding them even if that was the best they could do, centuries after the Pharaoh's deaths and long after anyone else cared what happened to them. The Pharaohs certainly weren't above stealing each other's treasures either.

Knowing the interior layout is different than knowing exact tunnelling coordinates. So then after that knowledge of the exact interior coordinates of the pyramid was lost after that Time of Troubles? And still having been passed down for at most, I suppose, 300 years, would still be quite a feat! I think Khafre looted it.

It's a plausible theory, but it would only relate to the particular tomb that that family was involved with. Wouldn't it?.

@@scottzema3103 coordinates are easily followed by the grid the blocks are laid in.

This must be even more fascinating if you've seen the structures: it's tough to get my bearing just via photos.

Oh wow you must know a lot of things and have items that are knowledgeable about things that schow you things like the leaves in the chambers

We'll definitely circle back to who the likely culprits were at some point - there's a fun lesson in human nature and some interesting questions that arise from it.

Robbed? You'd have assume there was something to rob before claiming being robbed, wouldn't you? Moron.

From both ends for another reason. They, the people digging from the inside, would have had less material to transport outside, other wise they would either get stuck in the material they were digging, or they would have to transport it outside thought the descending corridor/entrance which in this case would be ascending...

@@roberthak3695 they didn't have to take rubble from the tunnel out of the pyramid, there's hundreds of feet of empty corridor below to dump rubble in. they already would have known the lower chamber was empty, and therrefore they didn't need to keep it accessible while removing the portculis blocks and later excavating the tunnel.

This channel is a breath of fresh air among the vast majority of the crazy ass , lame brain, conspiracy laced, pyramid related channels. This is the place I run to first when the numbing stupidity of conspiratorial mouth breathers has got me down. Your calm logical presentation is soothing, and give hope that insanity will not rule out

Oh oohhhh yes you are thankful for it

They probably wanted to take the lid to the carcophogus back with them, because there wasn't anything else in there. What do you think the black stone in the center of Mecca is?

@@LarsLarsen77 that is a lot of work for a heavy stone lid, unless it was Gold

@@LarsLarsen77 Isn't it part of a meteorite?

I seem to remember finding one a long time ago. I think they exist, but you may have to do some googling. Maybe ask ChatGP? Seems like a good use for AI.

Yes, and in the same size !

There's a link to the 3D file in a video by the "Lines in Sand" channel.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqtjbLqXtri-fGg.html

Jean-Pierre Houdin made a 3D model using Dassault Systems CAD - the project named "Khufu Reborn". There used to be a interactive 3D viewer (with narration) available for download and freely roaming about the model, but unfortunately the site seems to have been abandoned. Here is a YT video that is a recording of that viewer.

People were not allowed to be near that place so a canvas stretched on a wooden frame could be used as door and if you properly painted it then you would need modern binoculars to spoot it... You can also threw out rubble at night. But most likely the guards were also taking part in that crime. I also expect that the robbers got access to a model of the pyramid internal design, stuff like that is used even nowdays and it would most likely be left for future generations to be amazed how well made, amazing and smart was the whole construction...

@@Bialy_1 Some researchers believe that so called Trial Passages are in fact the pyramid internal design model ( not far away from the pyramid itself).

When were all the Hieroglyphics stolen? The idea that the dynastic Egyptians built the great pyramid is nothing shy of stupid....

@@mrrooster4876 what on earth are you talking about?

Mr. Houdin's theories make the mistake I believe of trying to make much more of the construction techniques for the pyramid than they warrant (and he is certainly not at the top of the list when it comes to outlandishness). The muon experiments showed where the voids in the pyramid were and no amount of theorizing or elaborating can conceal the fact that the pyramid was not built with ramps, exterior or interior (except for one , perpendicular to the structure to the abandoned entry from the desert floor which was necessary to build the damn structure and haul EVERYTHING into the pyramid, from workers to big stones and including visiting living pharaohs. One thing that Mr. Houdin seems to have gotten right, and its an important discovery supported by evidence, that the Grand Gallery was the home of a mechanical mechanism that moved stones upwards and into the pyramid. One thing that Dr. Hawass and he keep ignoring is that the so-called abandoned entry was the TRUE entry to the pyramid, and until this fact is accepted people will continue to struggle with the layout of the pyramid and its functionality.

Absurd premises underlie your theory!

See the videos about aging the Sphinx by Dr. David Miano on the "World of Antiquity" channel. I recently saw one with a discussion with a geologist who said that the Sphinx could not be older than 5000BC (or was it 5000 years ago?), because the period before that was a wet period for Nile, the entire area would have been under water for thousands of years before that, and it would not have been possible to carve the Sphinx there in that period. The above one is titled "Geologist Talks THE SPHINX (feat. Robert Schneiker)." In the other one, Dr. Miano reviews and summarizes the arguments of various geologists, it is titled "The Age of the Sphinx | Battle of the Geologists."

The graffiti and trash being littered is just as infuriating to me. It’s crazy to see graffiti inside and outside the pyramids even in the 1st photos of it, the same goes with some very historically significant places in Israel. Some of the graffiti almost certainly comes from the locals who grew up around these magnificent places which is crazy because you’d think they’d be the ones with the most respect for the place.

As we speak they are digging into the hidden chamber above the kings chamber.

But not digging encourages more homosexual special rights. Should diggers stay in Mexico ?

The dead can't take it with them right?

@@Icehax1 got a source on this?

Ha ha like flowers in churches for weddings or funerals x)

Gold may be rare but chairs were gilded with gold leaf and at only fractions of a millimetre thick gold leaf is worth very little.

@@teeanahera8949 You mean like Trumps golden commode? The weight and cost of a solid gold toilet is ridiculous. To say nothing of support underneath. Obviously guilded. Or if porcelain were coated with silver solution ( an old lab arts technique for low temp soldering to glass) then it should be posible to electroplate gold onto porcelain, glass, ceramic etc. There's also vapor deposition such as in electronics.

Makes sense that they would reuse stuff. It's not the value, it's the workmanship and time. Why have it sitting there forever when it could be reused but you wonder why it was left there in the end.

Your theory simply contradicts itself... so why Tut's father chair/throne was left in Tut's grave but not in his father grave?! Tut could have this throne/chair from his father or it was a memento of his father that reminded him of him... Its to easy to forget how long ago that was and for how many generations this system worked fine before it colapsed and robbery was easy...

Valuable large objects of gold would be a liability to both keep and get rid of- presuming it was robbers and not another later pharaoh who took it. Therefore gold and gems would readily have been broken up and carried out? Anyone would rather do that than dig through metres of solid rock, which it seems the robbers did? Therefore the object they wanted to get out must have HAD to be kept in one piece at all costs. I can think of only 1 known artefact from ancient times that nobody, absolutely nobody would want to tamper with, and that is the Ark of the Covenant. It was highly dangerous to all around it by all accounts. No one would ever break that into pieces to take out. If it was the Ark, then it would have been revered as the work of god, and possibly placed in the pyramid during construction. Just a thought anyway.

@@BottleBri / well that’s a novel theory i’ve never heard before

@@leland818 the kings chamber sarcophagus is said to be the same internal size as the Ark of the Covenant.

@@BottleBri If it was made from a solid metal then you could not chop it into pieces inside with ancient tools... also the story about liability that you presenting here is fine for modern times and kinda silly for ancient times with no photos, TV or books with printed pictures of the artefacts... Who would be able to identify an artefacts that was hiden from human eyes for 50 years?! And why not take that stuff to some other kingdom and sell it there?! And the Ark of the Covenant was propably made after this robbery took place and most likely was nothing alike the one from The Indiana Jones movie...

@@Bialy_1 it wasn’t ‘solid metal’ it was a wooden box covered in gold. And the Ark is described in the bible exactly how it was made- with the measurements etc.

There was writing on the limestone blocks covering the pyramids, perhaps there were clues there that the early Arabs were able to pick up on, though I doubt they could read ancient Egyptian.

@@whiteeagle6370 yes my understanding to. I believe a historian, possibly Herodotus spoke of four languages visible, however I fear it could have been a fashionable addition from a later kingdom.

a good robber finds nothing.

@@makomichael this

@@makomichael exactly....muon scans indicate high probability more chambers and I believe true I believe there is a hidden access to a chamber in kings chamber and one near original entrance and possibly in the well shaft area

@@makomichael It seems like the front entrance has never been excavated in modern times. I believe there’s a reason the ancient robbers decided to leave the original entrance alone. It is probably a booby-trap for unsuspecting looters.

@@Dallasguy1972 No treasure, no tombs, no mummys, no hieroglyphics, nothing like this has been found inside the great pyramid. The reason why, its a machine way older then the egyptians who just stumbled upon it. The chemical residue left inside the kings and queens chambers show its not for storing a worshipped leader. A simple vid on this iskzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrtkbKmErt6Uj5s.html Does a really awesome job showing its not what mainstream says it is.

Fashionably late.

@@TheMoneypresident g’day ✌️

Or maybe the artifact simply couldn’t be broken up? I can think of 1 ancient artefact known to have existed that nobody in their right mind would try and break up- the Ark of the Covenant. That thing was a liability to all around it. But if you really wanted it out of that pyramid, you would put teams to work hacking the corridor larger rather than trying to take it apart! Also they say the coffer in the kings chamber would have fitted the Ark nicely.

This PROVES they were not tombs.

Many thanks!

It is not obvious to me that any mummies were ever present in this pyramid, or any pyramid

The "Great Pyramid" was never a tomb & it was not built by Khufu. It is a form of energy generator. It is likely way older than 4500 yrs. All Egyptian Royal tombs are full of illustrations & hieroglyfics depicting the life of the entombed & the journey to the afterlife. There are none in any Egyptian pyramid.

@@carolcamp4828 Then we can reasonably expect to find considerably more evidence for the devices the energy was used to power. Tell us when you find some. That would be considerably easier than a study of the magnetic alignment of the dust particles in the loose-fill between the stones in the pyramid itself. That presumes the power generated was electricity and the magnetic persistence of those same particles has not changed since the power source was shut down. But why stop there? That same effect would (maybe) be seen in the ground around the pyramids. Anything other than N-S and you have a clue. I read several articles that suggested that the underground arrangement of the underground tunnels was a giant ram-pump. Another good example of something that looks like something that isn't and never was. The lack of hieroglyphics mean what exactly? Remember that Egypt fell to the Arabs around the year 620. And they were Muslim in the most enthusiastic form. The images of living things would have been an anathema to them and the complete removal of all they could find would be an act of faith. Similarly, ostentatious tombs would (still are for some) something to be avoided so, the removal of the pyramids incumbent would have been seen as perfectly normal. That much has not changed: Khorsabad, The winged bulls at Nineveh, Mosque of The Prophet Younis (Jonah's Tomb), Nimrud, Mosul museum, Hatra, Mari, Tell Ajaja and Tell Brak and many more. Cemeteries were also routinly despoiled where the graves did not meet strict Islamic standards. All that in the past 20 years alone. Do remember also that there was even an attempt to dismantle them entirely, not just for building materials but, because they were considered unclean.

@@carolcamp4828 Have you been hitting the bong?

Nothing wrong with plundering graves, a grave is merely an extension of man's narscism and inability to cope with the fact that life ends one day, in this particular case at an unfathomable scale. It is unfortunate that we still collectively form a circle jerk around any form of "royalty", ancient or modern. The pyramids, as grand as they are, were nothing more than monuments to greed and manipulation of masses through religion and legislation. Khufu himself was almost certainly a power hungry egomaniac, so it's quite fitting his grave was probably "plundered" by the priests who laid him to rest.
