The erosion on the inner walls looks like mineral leaching from water pooling between the sandstone wall and the granite outer wall. That's why it looks so rough. Wind or sheet water erosion would be smoother.

@@sojernon8689 1. It’s painted on. 2. There is only one known instance. 3. Nobody truly knows, and if they do, they’re sure quiet. If my hundred or so hours of arm chair research is worth anything, it seems questionable that these later dynasties built these. Rather they maintained them as best they knew how. I think the big 3-4 pyramids were machines of sorts. Harnessing resonances to catalyze chemical and biological processes long before the Bronze Age. I think the pyramids were many things to those ancient people. I also think it’s arrogant to think there were no other advanced beings on the earth in her 4-6 billion year history. If we take the Hebrews, Sumerians, Egyptians, Indians, Basques, Mayans, Persians and others simply at their word, most of them will tell you their people originate from way before know written history. The Younger Drayas cataclysm practically ensured their stores were relegated to scarcely a myth. We could be wrong, but a willingness to make mistakes is a the hallmark of a good scientists, if we have the integrity to treat and record said mistakes as part of our refinement process. I love tough questions because there is value in taking a sober look at history separate from the narrative of those with economic pressure to create a cohesive and self serving narrative. Questioning the assumptions and broad strokes of the human story is a service to humanity.

Yousef's knowledge is grounded in solid engineering principles. Egyptology, as practiced, has always been the art of attracting tourists amid a culture of not actually wanting to know anything about it.

They would have to admit their errors, and that would cost them billions of dollars. They have a freshmen class coming in the fall, and they aren't changing anything. Not for me, and not for Ben Van Kirkwick. Nobody has debunked his work. In fact it is the other way around.

@@jamesknauer540 Right, "Debunking" and "Science" are two different words, because they have a different meaning. But science is often use to debunk peoples claims.

Noahs flood was strong and went over all the world. Aftermath made the geography different. Before lush gardens and harbour. Nephilim made all sort of things before and the flood raised them out.

Shells permeated the interior debris but oddly are never publicly discussed. A important aspect that is overlooked because it doesn’t fit with the current narrative regarding the age of these structures. Yes carbon dating has been done but that applies more to later repairs the time

There are no signs of ocean life around the Pyramids. Any water had to have been fresh flood water, possibly from rapidly melting glaciers.

@@alexhanna3921Fossilized shells, not contemporary.

The Barabar caves in India are so perfect, we couldn't replicate them today. There's a great documentary on them here on KZfaq (Jayan Films).

They were built by the ancient giants.

This indicates that civilization went through some cataclysmic upheaval where this knowledge died with the people who knew it. Being able to construct buildings like this is very valuable, and you wouldn't somehow 'forget' to teach the next generation. You also wouldn't abandon entire (already built) cities to be overgrown by jungle and lost for thousands of years, so the great upheaval probably moved people around by great distances as well.

@@kiasia3219 good luck proving him wrong instead of just blaming for having a very rational opinion and attacking with straw mans.

He makes his living filling people's minds with rubbish. He knows about channels that give verifiable proof that egyptians could make things precisely, and cut rock, with the tools available to them, "Science Against Myths" makes stone jars all the time. UnchartedX is just a liar, he has no intention of showing evidence that disproves him. Judging the age of rocks through erosion is about as rubbish as it gets, it's one of the crappiest ways to date things. The Sphinx is currently undateable through reliable scientific means, which is why the conspiracy theories all need to revolve around it. "Oh, the answer just happens to be in the one place where we can't disprove it". Freedom of thinking isn't possible when people are deliberately dishonest.

it's a shame he's scamming everyone though and charging overpriced tours where you learn about the plasma drills of the ancients

Have you been on one of his tours? If not, I strongly recommend it. The privilege that comes with the group, it’s well worth the cost, as well as to support the big crew. They truly work hard and cater to each person, undertaking massive organization. Theres so much behind the scenes. I feel like the money was secondary to the once in a lifetime trip with passionate people. Easily my favorite trip to date.

He bolsters that case VERY well here. Short of finding ancient wood fragments under/between megalith blocks or something truly definitive.

@@M1ster.Fr3sh comment par excellence

if you want to know whether you're on the right track, look to see if your theory is called "racist" by mainstream experts. if so, you're probably on the right track because if they had any actual argument, they would use that instead. likewise, anyone who says the pyramids are older than the Egyptians is labeled a racist, so is that really a big surprise?

The eroded stones were from the top layer of the plateau. The harder stone come from deeper quarried layers.

thank you for being a realist!

Yeah that was the first thought I had. Trash and graffiti. What a travesty to treat such an awe-inspiring part of the human story as a garbage bin. I guess this mindset is part of the human story too. 😂

anti-white bias in academia. the earliest Egyptians were European, and this is backed by DNA studies on the earliest mummies.

@debtfree_2023 The Great Pyramid sits upon a plateau which is 66 meters (218ft) above sea level. 4,000 years ago the sea was only slightly lower than it is today. Go back 12,000 years and it was significantly lower, nearly 80 meters. The great flood would not have likely lasted long enough to cause the kind of erosion we're seeing at Giza.

@@LBCAndrew correct. In fact the models actually account for the change in environment, not just weather. The area was actually dense jungle at that time period. Something happened to cause the Sahara Desert. Ugh there is so much information but in various locations that I would have to link to source all this what I am telling you. Yes of course there was a large amount of water from the flood. In fact I believe that may be what caused the Sahara to form in the first place. There are entire whale skeletons in the middle of the Sahara as well as all kinds of other bones, shells, and fossils, but it was very short. You can see the striations over the desert and how they flow over the Richat structure. Probably caused by the enormous amount of seismic activity in the area of Greece and Italy. Same activity that probably ignited the volcanoes that covered places like Pompeii. The only way these structures could have eroded at this rate would be to have a large amount of rainfall and their plot included the period when this area was Jungle. Of course with any experiment there are degrees of inaccuracy but they all seem to point approximately 50,000 years old, but the Egyptian government won't let them do any more experiments because Islam states that humanity started at around 2000 BCE. Such a shame as we could prove so much and that alot things are alot older than we previously thought. Heck the Bimini Road which is now under the ocean between Sri Lanka and India is reported to be 6 million years old. If you cross reference it with the Hindu religious texts the Bimini Road was built by "the monkey men" to serve Lord Vishnu who came down from the heavens to create humanity. I believe similar models were used to determine its age as well. However if you ask me to provide sources sadly I can't. I was looking into it about 20 years ago and found it all fascinating so I dove off the deep end into research. I used to have it all collated and catalogued but since I came to the conclusion it was true but no one else seemed to care I eventually lost interest and over time I didn't keep up with my resources.

So it was built underwater?

@@Arccanos No no. At the suggested age it was built there would have been little to no water at all. You forget that tectonic plates move quite a bit, like an inch a year, plus all the weather effects. The Sahara was not a desert but a lush tropical jungle about 50k years ago. Alot can change in a short amount of time.

The middle pyramid? I have some vids on it

Then you could sit on the Giza plateau for another 76.000 years before they start builing.

Fantastic claims require fantastic proofs, Ben has zero proof of his theories. Not thin evidence but none at all. His shows are interesting, but I highly doubt they will pan out. Such a advanced civilization would've left more than large blocks for us to find. Yet we haven't found anything. That's a major hurdle to overcome. Amazingly competent stone masons is not proof of advanced tech, just the result of thousands of years of practice.
