Every time I say “there is nothing new and good on YouTube” one of Simon’s 100 channels uploads.

While the narration was discussing the Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu's pyramid), the video was showing images of Khafre's pyramid. The two are easily distinguished: Khafre's pyramid still has some casing stones around the peak of the pyramid giving it a smooth side, while Khufu's pyramid (the Great Pyramid of Giza) has had virtually all the casing stones removed and is missing the pyramidion (the point at the top). The two are often confused because from a distance Khafre's pyramid looks bigger than Khufu's pyramid, but this is only because it was built on top of a rise in the Giza plane: Khufu's pyramid is actually bigger than Khafre's pyramid.

First time in my life I actually used a promo code for something advertised on YT. I’m a type 1 diabetic who loves cereal back in the day but can’t handle it anymore because of the ol’ lazy pancreas, so I tried magic spoon with almond milk and it has way less harsh of an impact on my blood sugar levels. Thanks for the recommendation dude

Wasn't there a theory that the "Queen's Chamber" was supposed to be a decoy to make tomb robbers think they had found the real treasure room and walk away with only a few trinkets compared to what was really up above?

Ah Simon covering something I get from History for Granite. Got to love it

[prxZen]

1 cubic meter of granite is rougly 26-2700 _kilograms_ (2.6-2.7 metric tons).

A thousands cubic meters of granite though, that would be roughly about 2600 Draconian Fuchtonnes of NGHH.

MUMMY: Why are you excavating my tomb?
SCIENTIST: For science and history's sake.
MUMMY: Who are those two?

Recently Simon has stood up and walked away in videos, it's killed my tin foil theory that he is chained to the floor and the producers and editors hand him more and more scripts for the more and more channels they create 😅 I can't complain, he entertains and it's great.

The research team you have is outstanding

[luiszuluaga]

Very detailed and easily digestible presentation. ✊🏼

[JayDawn]

Love that accent. The pyramid of Geezer. That's great. The mysterious pyramid of Old People.

[robotjack]

The Great Pyramid at Giza is the tallest in the world. The Great Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico is the largest by area and volume. It's really interesting. Maybe you might want to do a video on that place.

Interesting that this doesn't include any modern theories or research, but rather the same regurgitated timeline that last century's egyptologists have been using to defend for their careers for the last 40 years

Correction - A 1 cubic meter block of granite weighs about 2.6 tonnes (or 2600 kilograms)... It most certainly doesn't weigh 2600 tonnes, as was stated.

(A cubic meter of concrete weighs approximately 2.4 tonnes / 2400 kilograms)

[laalki]

11:11 Were these "granite" blocks made of dark matter or how does a 1 cubic meter stone weigh 2600 tons?

Today I Found Out that at 1:45 his portrait artist thought Napoleon had quite the lunchbox 😆

Wirtual enjoyer here, I spent the entire video waiting to hear about the Scan Pyramids project and the internal ramp theory :D

[funnytourtoise]

I got excited when I saw the thumbnail... I thought Colin Furze had posted an update about his "Secret" tunnel project! 😂

[bradbrandon]

Only issue is, no tomb, nor any evidence of any body being entombed has ever been discovered in any Egyptian pyramid. As far as I know, the only evidence of a pyramid even relating to a pharoah was "Khufu"spelled incorrectly on one of the walls of the Great Pyramid.
