It's really hard to fly a pyramid without Mercury

[elvisciotoi]

Ancient technology using mercury in antigravity engine. Respect.

[johnrhansonsr]

Pools of Mercury can make electricity as well as defy gravity.

[petergroedvelt]

Those big blocks will flote on mercury, maybe they lifted or moved the stones with mercury ? you need quite a lot though.

[Mullgutz]

Huffing mercury is also said to have powerful effects of sending the person insane 😂

[Colt-wrwx]

The pyramid is way older than 2000 years old..

[Piyush-tkvm]

It's 'vimana fuel' mention in ancient Hindus vimana technology

[mikebreezy]

where are the photos? You're just going to talk about it and not actually show it?

[Bluebloods]

Heheheh, he said "exploring the cavity"

[cafezo]

Pyramids have been around for so long i wouldn't be surprised

[rogerfroud]

Mercury is not a Superconductor. It may well be a Good Conductor, but that's not the same thing at all.

Liquid Mercury also found near Vienna, Austria. Apparently used as a mirror to reflect the sky onto a domed ceiling so the constellations could be documented. It seems that this sort of mercury used was non-toxic, but I can't quite imagine how that works.

Thank you for not turning this into a whole hour. Thanks history channel!

[TylerTolmanTT]

Mercury is used to extract pure gold and not impurities.

[jasonwinters]

They probably carried it in a cup like we do today and handled it by hand like we still do today

[nothingToReadHere]

The chineses emperor tomb is pretty famous. But this is new to me. Seems they actually had some use for it.

[salvatormundi]

Soundtrack was one of Ancient Aliens best of all time…🤝🏆

[nateroseman]

I was reading recently, although I can't recall where, that the reason all the pyramids are different is due to the fact that they all served a different purpose. Whether it was to generate electricity, or to do many other wondrous things that we have yet to discover. Naturally it was a theory, however maybe mercury plays a part in the process needed for this particular pyramid to do its thing.

The answer is that we'll probably never know. Much of the Aztec knowledge was destroyed by the Spanish and tribes that were the enemies of the Aztecs. Bit like the burning of the library of Alexandria...old knowledge going up in smoke...

[PercahoIic]

We could potentially become a type 1 civilization if we drop all the protection laws for these places..
