"Hey bro, lets destroy the blueprints so future generations can argue over its construction" "hell yeah dude that sounds really funny" this is how i imagine it went down
The biggest mistake is to think back then the people were dumb. Why should they engineer such a masterpiece, but then use the tools of a Caveman. It was an empire, not a bush tribe.
General rule of thumb is if Hawass supports a theory, be skeptical of it. If he denies it, it’s likely worth investigating.
No blueprints, no treasure, no mummy. Just vibes and a suspiciously perfect triangle.
Bear in mind, in the time of Cleopatra, doing ancient Egyptian archeology was a real occupation. As every fact book will tell you, she lived sooner to the building of the first Burger King, than to the Great Pyramid
Zahi Hawass has been the single greatest barrier to exploring the pyramids for decades... we need to find out how they built it!
Anyone: Mr Hawass, but how do you know that’s true? Mr Hawass: It’s in the book that I wrote!
Man I could watch hours of content like that this is so relaxing and interesting
The fact that fern creates these extremely detailed documentary type videos almost every week really earns my respect. I love channels like fern and neo
I highly recommend the channel History for Granite if you‘re interested in the pyramids! And btw: 16:28 Zahi Hawass is NOT a leading figure. No serious egyptologist takes him seriously.
They could have covered the external ramp in mayonnaise to make it easier to slide the blocks up the steep grade. Some other creators should look into it as a viable option IMHO.
Zahi Hawass completely denies the inner ramp theory because if it was even remotely true, he himself would be responsible for permanently damaging the pyramid by filling out the great step. Even besides that he is an incredible controversial and dubious figure in egyptology.
17:54 I feel like it’s most likely that any blueprints that existed of the pyramids were intentionally destroyed. After all, what’s the point of hiding valuables behind a false wall - or with protecting them with traps - if someone could simply get their hands on the blueprints and find out where to find everything (and possibly where traps are located)?
18:50 Theory 4: Pyramids were made with ancient poured concrete.
The animation is spectacular. The team sold again.
Wirtual is going to love this.
The insane ammount of effort put into these videos still shocks me Thanks to everyone who subbed :D
There's a lot of videos like this online, but I have to say, well done with this 1. You covered multiple options and didn't seem to push the viewers towards 1 theory, like many often do.
The reason we will never understand how they built it is because of the constant lack of credit given to those intelligent people. They were clearly advanced. They knew how to build and craft complex structures and jewelry, yet when Ideas about the winding ramp come up they are shot down for being 'too complex'. How can they argue 'too complex' when they are literally looking at an engineering masterpiece?!
