The Science of Ancient Acoustic Levitation | How The Pyramids Were Built?

LEVITATION. The ruins of several ancient civilizations - like the pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge in the UK, and many others - are monuments constructed of massive stones. How the great pyramids of Egypt were built has been the subject of debate for a long time.

The fact is, no one really knows for certain exactly how some of these megaliths were constructed. Some researchers think ancient cultures may have mastered levitation through sound which allowed them to easily manipulate massive objects. Unfortunately, anyone suggesting the use of this kind of technology is attacked and labeled a "pseudoscientist".

Abul Hasan Ali Al-Masudi is known as the Herodotus of the Arabs. Like everyone, he was awestruck by the pyramids. He wrote a very intriguing passage about how the giant stone blocks were transported -- through levitation.

The Great Pyramid of Giza does possess some extraordinary acoustic properties, and can dramatically amplify sounds at certain frequencies. The Egyptians clearly knew a lot about sound science.

Let's explore the Coral Castle in Florida, built by Edward Leedskalnin, who cut, transported and sculpted over 1,000 tons of rock into a sprawling complex -- alone, without heavy machinery.

We'll visit The Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek in Lebanon which boasts the largest stones ever carved by human hands.

Nan Madol is an archaeological site in Micronesia. It's been called the Machu Picchu of the Pacific. The engineering of Nan Madol is so complex, no one can figure out how it was built.

Let's hear the story told by Dr. Jarl about Tibetan monks who lifted stones by chanting and playing instruments -- which Jarl put on film.

There is science behind all these stories, yet "mainstream" academia dismisses each and every one as pseudoscience. Why is it wrong to want to explore ancient knowledge that contradicts modern beliefs? Isn't this the exact purpose of science?

I think so. Let's find out why.

AJ & Hecklefish are a true diamond in the rough. True information while being entertained and leaving viewers with a broadened perspective. I've spent countless hours searching for a channel that provides precisely what you offer; For that I thank you.

[JakeTaaylor]

I would absolutely LOVE an episode specifically dedicated to the pyramids!

[Blimbus-Blombo]

The last couple minutes of this episode hit hard. Like some random stranger said on the internet once- "life is like a video game; when you start to increasingly encounter enemies you know you're on the right path."

[jayv]

This dude.. not only is his content amazing, the messages and moral story he ends these brilliant videos with are just as amazing and important, so glad I found this channel!

[Paradox]

This is hands down my favorite YouTube channel. I'm 32 years old and it really reminds me of those shows when I was a kid that I would wake up early for, gladly :-)

[kingworkaholic]

Id hate to repeat everyone on your comments but thank you. Your channel is 90% of what I spend my time on my phone doing. Never quit we need you spreading stories of the world otherwise they would all disappear just like the government wants. Thanks again

[sjdennis]

I am going to say this, AJ/Hecklefish & The Why Files are seriously underrated. Not only is the content amazing, but the format that AJ has chosen is brilliant. Having Hecklefish on deck allows him to defer all the "subscribe/like/etc" stuff we all hate, along with all the stuff he can't "say" without getting canceled. I love it. I tip my hat to you AJ and HF.

[squadroneagle]

AJ ! Your closing argument ! Was amazing and literally made my eyes water up and got goosebumps! Thank you for motivating people to be better version of themselves ! One love my friend !

[RonLo]

I used to listen to Art Bell with my Dad when driving home at night after work. Now i found you and Hecklefish. I love that last message. TY I really needed it.

[CarlosGBLDRHOU]

Your final comment on this video had me in tears of joy and happiness. Such a positive message for new generations. Back in the mid 90s I build a remote controled helicopter that would take off the ground but was shamed by my parents and friends since I would take apart appliances and electronics for my project. But I had a drone back in 1996. 😢

[matthewtylerbaker]

I’ve been on YouTube since 2006. This channel, without a doubt, has become my absolute favorite. AJ, your passion for the truth and conveyance of knowledge is incredibly commendable. Thank you so much for all you do. I’m very much looking forward to new videos and the inevitable algorithm catching up to how great this channel is.

[fruitytarian]

I'm in tears, I need a clip of your message at the end AJ, so I can play it whenever I feel defeated and want to throw in the towel 😭💕👏🏽

[revolutionday]

I have actually witnessed acoustic levitation once...

When I was young, a salesman at a local home audio store was demonstrating these Earthquaker brand high-powered subwoofers.

He laid the box over on its side, with the woofer's cone towards the floor, then played a very low frequency which actually caused the subwoofer box to hover just high enough off the floor that it could be pushed around like a puck on an air hockey table.

[jm]

I couldn't agree more with your message AJ. When I was a kid I felt very let down by the sense that everything was discovered, and that I was viewed as crazy for believing there is much more than we are told. Your videos, your humor and your messages all resonate with my soul somehow, in this dark times this couldn't be more valuable, I hope we get to see a change in paradigms in our lifetimes regarding what we were and what we can be in the future.

[stephaniehyde]

I would love to see an entire episode dedicated to the Coral Castle in Florida. Built by one small statured man who built it for his sweetheart! It's amazing that one man built it in his lifetime and this was done in the modern era. He definitly knew some mystery knowledge to accomplish this. Thank u! Love your show😊

[DaCrazyHand]

This ending speech is what made me officially fall in love with this channel.

[Valandor_Celestial_Warlock]

That last bit hit me hard in the feels. Thank you, AJ. You're a hero. And you are appreciated! 💪

[christopherkehlenbrink]

I just discovered this channel about a week and half ago and already chewed through most of the episodes. The last 2 min of this episode should be made a commencement speech for every "college" out there. It is very inspirational. Keep up the great work!

[jameslarsen]

I wish I had that kind of encouragement when I was younger, AJ.
Your message has probably given so much hope and encouragement in so many people's lives to think higher and go further. That is definitely something you should be proud of 🙂

[jljayarr]

To see how much this channel has evolved is astonishing. Thank you for this great content!
