The narrator's respectful tone, both in balance and in 'harmony' with the subject matter being presented, the choice of background music, and excellent film footage all combine to bring the viewer into the majesty of the edifice which only a personal visit can more fully reveal. This is a very very nice presentation and offering which will no doubt add to the centuries long and ongoing revelation of one of the great mysteries on our planet Earth. If I was grading the presentation I'd give it an A ++ ! Way to go guys.

The fact that they still remain somewhat a mystery 4500 years later blows my mind

[lordcommander]

When I visited here in 2008 I wasn’t allowed to take my camera inside...this footage has brought it all back, thank you so much 🙏🏼

[AdhamMGhaly]

I have been inside the Great pyramid many times, and I can confirm that this video is BY FAR the best to communicate the experience to those who never went inside.

[leolamorie-fitzgerald]

Sometimes I feel like I need to change the plans I have for my life and learn more about magical places like this. History is a beautiful thing.

[bBersZ]

Visited the pyramids on a trip to Cairo years ago. Main takeaways: The smell of ammonia from bat gwano, the heat inside and weaving through the throngs of sweating tourists going in and coming out. Incredible experience.

[birdynumnum]

I am 63 years old & used to live in awe & wonder of the great pyramid. Thank you for posting this, as I won't ever get there, despite a lifetime of respect and curiosity of this most amazing structure.

Sometimes I believe that 'modern' man is too egocentric in describing our ancestors as 'ignorant' we are no smarter!
Past civilizations were projecting the future while our future is spent discovering the past!

[hazelmakena]

I so long wanted to see the inside of the pyramid, it means a lot to me

[rykoes]

We need more videos like this. This is like the pyramid first-hand. Detailed from start to finish. Hell, this is more credible than History, National Geographic and Discovery channel. I've never been to any pyramid but when the narrator said that being there inside touched their hearts and left their feelings changed in remarkable ways, I felt it.

[limardosings.]

Well done!! I was there with my wife the summer of 2013. There weren’t as many tourists but it meant extra scrutiny by the guards. Only a shaky few seconds-long video of the Grand Gallery. It is beyond magnificent. In my opinion, It is uncomfortable evidence of a highly advanced civilization that collapsed despite possessing the capabilities to construct wonders at that scale.

[jasonspades]

This was extremely well presented. This was a beautiful short documentary.

[tristinsean]

is it just me or did everyone else get a little upset or something everytime he said something about a modern modification?

[sreetips]

Excellent video. I was there in the late 70s but didn’t enter the pyramid. Thank you for the tour.

Actually, it is possible to get into the Queen's Chamber and into the Well (or Pit), but you'd have to do it with certain approved professional guides. For instance, I went with Egyptologist Carmen Boulter in 2010 and we had access to the 3 major chambers of the Great Pyramid. We had to pay extra for the opportunity but it was built into the cost of the 10-day tour, including a Nile cruise. We arrived at 5 am, 3 hours before the general public with access to the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid. We were not hassled in regard to photo taking, though I do understand things may have changed since I was there years ago. It can be expensive, depending on what tour you go with but it's well worth the opportunity. Do it, do it, do it!!!

The erosion at the top of the big step was caused by water. Just beyond that is further water erosion at the entrance to the antechamber. Both of these are limestone which is easily eaten away by water. Inside the antechamber the two blocks in the wall grooves are granite and the top one is heavily rounded and uneven. Next is the tunnel to the King's Chamber. The wall with the grooves is eroded at the roof of the passage. In the King's Chamber the rounded edges of the rectangular "air vent" show that water flowed into the opening. It wasn't wind blown sand doing this and it wasn't ropes rubbing. The coffin is also heavily eroded on the top edges. How would that happen where it sits? It couldn't where it sits but it could in the antechamber where it blocked the passage under the two stones. Some say it won't fit through the passages but it will. It had to be pushed into the King's Chamber in order to break in.
The evidence strongly suggests that a lot of water flowed through this section and shows the path it took. For me it also gave clues about its purpose and how it works. I'll start the explanation in the middle. The King's Chamber has six feet of water in it. It is made of close fitting granite blocks because it has to seal water from leaking out. Granite also is not dissolved in water. Water flows out of the chamber through the little rectangular opening as much as 160 liters a second. The water in the King's Chamber is at a high elevation and functions as a modern day water tower. I imagine an Egyptian engineer watching waves hitting the side of a cliff and shooting water to a great height. If one could catch that water before it falls back down then you have a way to raise water without doing work. I think the pyramid does exactly that. It was built to "pump" water to a high elevation and distribute it to the populace. The daily cost of water would be a major household expense so there would be a tremendous incentive to be able to deliver it without loading up donkeys or camels and trekking to the Nile and back.
How the engineers mimicked the waves crashing against the rocks is the clever part. A surge of water rushes up the center of the Grand Gallery and crashes into the big step at the top splashing water high up in the air of the tall gallery causing a cooling of the water from evaporation. The main part of the wave makes it into the passageway smacks into the end of the coffin. It is lined up with the two sliding stones, effectively creating a six foot wall. The fast moving water climbs the wall and flows over the top (eroding the edge) where it is trapped. The height of the wall controls the level of water in the King's Chamber. Excess water runs back over the wall so it is never too high. The coffin is so long that the far end of it almost blocks the passage to the King's Chamber. Grooves in the wall allow water to pass by the end of the coffin in a smooth controlled fashion. If water entered violently, it would stir up silt that settles out on the floor.
So what caused the surge and where did the water come from? We'll start with the water. Later pyramids had walls around them forming a moat filled with water. The walls were high enough for water to reach the inlet of a long descending passage. On the Great Pyramid this would have been 17 meters tall. The ancient symbol for a pyramid was a triangle rising from a box with the box representing the wall. Water filled the moat from a shaft (since covered over by authorities) dug down to a passage that carried water from a reservoir at a higher elevation to the south. The Sadd el-Kafara Dam was built to capture flood waters and could store about 600, 000 cubic meters. The purpose of this dam has confounded scholars because it was built in the middle of nowhere with no surrounding community. Water flowed through underground passages to the Giza Plateau and who knows where else. The pyramids with moats all had one thing in common; a long descending passage with a chamber at the bottom. The ancient Egyptians had figured out numerous ways to utilize the tremendous force of water gaining speed as it flows downhill. This was the water wheel of their day. In the case of the Great Pyramid, and possibly all of them, a tremendous amount of pressure is generated when the water flowing down the passage is suddenly blocked. This is known as water hammer in your home plumbing and that happens every time you quickly close the faucet. Plumbing designers have to use pipes that are larger than they need to be in order to reduce the velocity of the water. Even so, the pipes swell out to absorb the pressure pulse. The Great Pyramid uses this pulse to smack the face of a granite block exposed to the downward passage. This block has a number of other blocks stacked on top of it and the pressure pulse hits the bottom block but it is the top block that flies up. The number of blocks was chosen so there is an appropriate amount of water above the top one. It doesn't move too far but it is very fast and sends a blast of water at high speed up the Grand Gallery where it hits the step and splashes and flows into the antechamber. Any garbage floating on the surface sprays high in the air and falls back down and slides down the gallery. Heavier items never make it over the step and also slide back down. I believe the garbage collects at the entrance to the Queen's Chamber and it is flushed with water from the well shaft. I didn't mention the well shaft yet but it extends down to the descending passage to a level that is just above the ceiling of the big chamber. The same pulse that hits the granite block also sends some up the passage. This too has a stack of blocks that shoot water under the Grand Gallery where the garbage collects. It washes down a long horizontal passage then drops down a little to the floor of the Queen's Chamber. The drop is a step to keep the stuff from running back out the entrance.
One other question might be "What makes the water flow stop suddenly?". A valve at the bottom of the descending passage has a rock with two flat faces almost ninety degrees apart. Gravity makes the rock sit on one face and the other face uncovers an opening. Water flows through the opening and starts gaining speed and the force of the flowing water tries to lift one end of the rock. When it goes fast enough it tips the rock up until the other flat face slams shut against the flow opening. Tons of moving water is halted in a fraction of a second and that inertia drives the water to a very high pressure, like several hundred pounds per square inch. That pressure spike is followed by a suction spike that pulls the rock back and water starts flowing through the opening again. This probably happened for a thousand years non stop. The valve was destroyed in order for robbers to get past it. The actual valve rock was found shoved off to the side of a small mini-chamber. At the bottom of the descending passage it transitions to a horizontal passage that is smaller on all sides. This creates a frame of stone around the opening. The edges were nice and sharp which would not have been the case if it was exposed to all the water that passed through. Pieces of stone remain cemented to the frame indicating that something was broken away. It is likely this was covered by some sort of stone structure with a flow opening and some manner of guiding the rocking valve stone.
A modern hydraulic ram pump also uses water flowing downhill to create a pressure pulse. The pulse acts on a small pipe that shoots water up to a great height. So the pulse acts on the water directly. I never thought of using the pressure pulse to move a block like a piston which then shoots the water. It offers a lot more flexibility on volume versus height. The really brilliant part is the way they used a stack of blocks, knowing that smacking the bottom one would make just the top one move. If the first block moved, it would create more volume in the passage and that would drop the pressure immediately, severely reducing the work that could be extracted. The stack of blocks lets you move your piston as high as you want. The weight of more blocks doesn't affect how high the top one jumps. The pressure pulse just passes through to the top.
This system requires free drainage at the bottom which is a huge chamber just above groundwater level. The large surface area of the chamber floor is enough to drain water through the limestone pores faster than water pours in. A theory gains credence when it makes predictions that are later verified. I believe a fissure in a small mini-chamber is connected to the niche in the Queen's Chamber. These fissures are considered construction errors but I consider them a low cost way to channel air. I think the pressure in the chamber is equal to the pressure in the Queen's Chamber and lets the water level rise and fall easily in the chamber below. I wouldn't be surprised if a larger opening was found that was big enough for branches and soda bottles to drop to the huge chamber below. Early explorers found tons of debris piled in a shape as if stuff fell onto it from above. Unfortunately the opening in the floor of the niche has been covered over.
Unmistakable signs of water erosion are present throughout the pyramid but no one recognizes it as such. It is understandable since it is in the middle of the desert, one does not think of water. As an engineer for many years, one of the things I learned that has served me well is if the facts don't match your theory, believe the facts and change your theory. The fact is that water flowed past a number of objects in a predictable path so any theory had better embrace that fact. Unless aliens did it.

I was in 4th grade when I got Egypt as the country for my history project and always wanted to go and see the great pyramids. Really want to go inside as well but this will do for now.

[jakehobbs]

Call me stupid. I NEVER knew pyramids had actual insides. Thought they were solid monuments. Did not know you could go in and follow and see the things that someone built thousands of years ago. This video was amazing!!

[Nicholas.fernandez]

It has always baffled me how the pyramid was built and now seeing the inside of it baffles my mind even more, I always had a feeling that the people back in those times were way more advanced

[JohnnyButtons]

It’s mind blowing to see architecture from ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.
