Step-by-Step Guide: Constructing the Egyptian Pyramids (In-Depth Exploration)

Learn all about the world of ancient engineering with our detailed step-by-step guide on the construction of the Egyptian Pyramids within Chris Massey's theory (Water Shaft Theory). This comprehensive video offers more than just a brief overview – it’s an in-depth journey through the intriguing Water Shaft Theory, with illustrations and pictures to clarify the stages and process.

Oh man, wish I’d seen this before I built my first pyramid.

[jeenyus]

I could see an Ancient Egyptian watching this and being like ""damn, why didnt we think of this?"

[gorillazilla]

The waterway system is considerably more complicated than the actual pyramid. It's like building a computer to control your toaster.

I watched this out of curiosity. I needed a good chuckle.

Excellent video, great graphics and totally explains the theory !
Don't believe a word of it, but I enjoyed watching it !

Aliens: we can make rocks gravitate
Egypt: *no we cool bro we got the water pipes*

Very clever theory. One would think that something this novel would have warranted a hieroglyph or painting somewhere along the lines.

While this seems perhaps plausible at a first glance, just consider this. Floating a block up the shaft comes with a price: an equal amount of water (by weight) travels down the shaft. Consequently, the weight of water that would need to be carried up to the top of the "water shaft" to replace the water travelling down+ leakage etc. would exceed the weight of the blocks being lifted. So, the manual work would actually increase; it is not easier to carry 2 tons of water than it is to carry 2 tons of rock up the pyramid. Not counting the need to carry floatation down the pyramid, work to build and maintain all the complicated shafts.. And working in murky, mosquito-infested water all day till your hands dissolve is not such a great working environment as this video would like it to be. Chiselling stone under water? Hmm.

the only thing i've learned from reading this comment section is that there are a lot more pyramid engineers out there than i thought

[AriesKJJ]

I really enjoy how loosely the term "easily" is tossed around 😀

[karaDee]

Finally a more logical explanation of how the pyramids were built... And blocks were carved with precision.... It's something I've often thought about for years and seemed the most

[movinon]

very compelling theory indeed. it sparks the imagination regarding the use of aquatics. I remember the lady that put forth the idea that sails were used to move the huge blocks about and I thought that was very interesting. now add the use of huge stone floatation and hydro atmospheric pressers and your just about there. best I've seen yet. thank you. in these ancient times humans would've been understanding water - hydrodynamics a lot more bluntly than needed today

Finally! a step by step guide to building one of these things, all we need now is to have Ikea produce it in flat-pack form.

[artmaknev]

Interesting theory, that might also explain massive water erosion around the Sphynx walls.

Men of culture, usually we meet under different kind of videos but today we are united in our interest in pyramid engineering.

[firemusic]

I love reading comments. It's hilarious...humans today can't fathom building the pyramids by hand. So, it's impossible for humans who lived thousands of years ago had the brain power to engineer them. Today we look at ourselves as geniuses because we've created the "smart phone". However, take a man's smart phone away and he forgets how to wipe his own ass. Our technology is just an invented brain.

So I know this is an old upload but out of curiosity I looked up the book on Amazon
Hardcover prices range from $438 - $777 used !!
For those prices those books better be signed by the Pharaohs

The engineering behind this 5, 000 years ago is truly amazing

I love the theory and the videos! I especially love the demonstration of the working water elevator, it made me think about ways to use this idea for a modern invention or two… I can see how floating the blocks could and maybe even did work to get the blocks to the building site, but; Unfortunately, it seems to me, there are lot of challenges to overcome for this system to really work. Just to mention one, how could they have efficiently pumped that much water up to the top of the pyramid? The other elephant in the room is the problems of constructing a leak proof and strong enough water tube… still I really do love the idea, super creative and inventive. Great food for thought. Thanks for all the time and work you’ve put in to this. I really think you could apply this idea to present day needs and make big money…
