The Improbable Timeline of the Old Kingdom Mega-Pyramid Builders!

The Old Kingdom period of Ancient Egypt was a truly remarkable time in history, an era of mighty mega-projects that are still standing today, achievements unsurpassed in human history. But is this really when the giant pyramids were built?

It seems to have come out of nowhere - lifting the Dynastic Egyptian Civilization from the stone-age to the advanced technology required to build the Great Pyramid of Giza in a very short period of time. Only then to seemingly disappear again, never to be repeated, although the Egpytian civilization continued on for thousands of years.

The closer you look at this time period, the less sense it makes, and the more contradictions that appear in in the story of history. Join me as I explore the details of this lost era of history and look in detail at the improbable timeline of the Old Kingdom mega-pyramid builders.

The lack of thorough scientific investigation, and the way that many of these ancient sites have been treated is a disgrace. We could be sleepwalking into an extinction level event, and acknowledging even the possibility that something similar could have happened before (natural or not), effectively resetting civilization back to the stone age, could help us avoid a similar catastrophe in the present. Humanity is extremely primitive in so many ways.

Chew on this, Hawass. The man must have been a politician in a previous life. "I'm a scientist, " he says. Ha! Someone needs to introduce him to the scientific method!

[WahrheitMachtFrei.]

"Egyptology" is what you get when historians are allowed to mark their own homework for a century.

[BlissiraMedia]

Your channel is quickly becoming one of the best sources of information on the net. Claims backed by evidence, superbly narrated and flawlessly explained. You are doing fantastic work, a hero of humanity.

Zahi Hawass is the worst thing for Egypt's ancient history.

[KennyEaton]

I feel one of the biggest problems often overlooked is the sheer number of people and resources you would need to build these structures. Not so much in regard to general laborers, but the support staff. People preparing food, raising livestock, farming, dealing with logistics, just the management of an entire army of people and trying to keep everything flowing smoothly would be a monumental task.

Interviewer: But, have you read their books?

Zahi Hawass: Well... No. I’m a scientist!

I always love my “scientists” that won’t read or even consider differing viewpoints. They’re always the most reliable ones

*Shame on you*

How did they light the tunnel system (eg. while working) under the step pyramid... that alone is a huge question mark... imagine, you are 3-4 stories below ground, total darkness and you get the task to dig that tunnel. We are talking of years, maybe decades of continuous digging, and for that you need 1) ridiculous amount of fire sticks and that would leave visible burn marks on the ceiling 2) you need good ventilation otherwise the tunnel system gets filled with smoke. The issue of lighting is always forgotten by researchers.

Absolutely a quality documentary that gives clear evidence and insight that a lot more was a hand than most egyptologists tell. I am a geologist myself and the machinery marks shown are so compelling that they simply cannot be neglected. Very well done!

[AncientArchitects]

Another absolutely fantastic video. Outstanding Ben. The detail and evidence you present is compelling and the quality of the presentation is top class as always. 👏

[klucismclain]

I must admit, this is the best hystorical channel about megaliths in all youtube. I follow Brien Foerster, Bright inside and this is my number 1 pick for science. In my opinion this dude just kills mainstream archeology ..I am so happy I found this channel, excellent work..Good questions and points.. super! UnchartedX, please keep making these videos, they are mind opening!

[StephiSensei]

Conclusion: You can't build a civilization simply by pounding a big rock with a small rock. Sounds reasonable to me. Love your videos and you thought process Ben.

[blindspotspotter.]

I remember being shocked when I first heard about the spurious evidence for the pyramids being tombs and the almost nonexistent evidence for the great pyramid being built by Khufu.
I was talking to someone at work who had visited these sights and this person literally would not hear the possibility that her conventional view of the pyramids could be challenged. Its interesting how it often seems to be the case that once people learn a "fact` their intellectual curiosity is forever disengaged.

[thomaswerth]

I don't believe anyone has a clue as to who constructed the pyramids. The sooner we can admit that the sooner we can get to finding the truth. Excellent work!

[TheWhiteKnight]

I’ve been watching hundreds of videos on the great pyramid and Giza over the last couple of years and this is the first time I’ve come across this information about what’s under the step pyramid. My mind is blown!

[jancetl]

Man this i one of the best videos on this subject. It goes through the important evidence with logic and thoroughness. No ancient alien type bullshit, just pure rationality. Thanks!

[lcmlcm]

YES If I only had a teacher like you in school. I would have loved school. Seriously, thank you

[robwatkins]

I find your videos extremely well made, well thought out, greatly narrated, and very informative.
You should have a show on a major network... Great work

[dmcq]

It has been a while since I watched this video. It's even better the second time around. Good work Ben. I'm sure it took a while to put that one together. 5 stars

[Goochy]

You are the future of this movement, Ben. Great to see your work gaining recognition.
