Hidden Secrets of the Bent Pyramid Seen for the First Time

Go inside the Bent Pyramid where no archaeologist has gone before.

The Bent Pyramid has never been investigated properly, and is a woefully neglected monument. A unique feature of the pyramid is a 15-meter vertical shaft nicknamed the ‘Chimney’. This shaft contains special architecture sacred to the ancient Egyptians, but it has never been photographed or examined for the purpose behind the design.

This video takes you to the top of the Chimney to see the evidence for yourself, and perhaps restore the Bent Pyramid to its rightful place in Egyptian history.

This was a big one. Thanks to everyone who helped get us so far. If you become a channel member, you can watch the weekly livestreams I've been doing tracing the casing stones of the Bent Pyramid. Still chipping away at these mysteries, one block at a time.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really appreciate your dry delivery in all your videos. I miss old History Channel documentaries where it's some British guy regurgitating facts over black and white war footage. Very little editorializing or emotion to mix up facts. It means so much to me that people can still speak facts on what they're passionate about.

[pogoham]

History for GRANITE's guerrilla archaeology is far more interesting than anything conventional I've seen in my lifetime

[jimboslam]

No dramatic music? No mellow dramatic script? Just a down to the bass tacks, informational video? This is incredible. Thank you so much.

[AncientArchitects]

Quite possibly your finest work! Outstanding! 👏👏👏👏

[Vok]

Man the erosion on those pyramids makes me sad. Wish we could have seen them in their full glory days.

[jackelewish]

It's mind boggling how the people "in charge" of these magnificent structures aren't foaming at the mouth daily at their unprecedented opportunity to examine it! It's like being the richest man on earth and not caring to leave your home town in your entire life.

[nezuminezuminezumi]

STEM field scientist here. Thanks for shedding some light on peer review for what it is. It's all just a club.

[RHicksted]

I had the opportunity to climb to the upper chamber of the Bent Pyramid a year ago. There were fewer than a dozen visitors, which made an awesome experience. Your observations and explanations make a lot of sense, and I wish we had this information before my visit. This would have clarified the confusing statements that the Red Pyramid was built as a replacement of a failed effort.

[and]

Wow! This has given me a fresh perspective about Egyptian archaeology and what they intended for the things they worked so hard to build. It’s time to look at everything they’ve built through a new lens.

[DaMainDude]

Truly amazing work as always. Had to crack open a bottle of my finest bourbon for this video :)

[StephiSensei]

Terrific arguments! I too have always been nauseated by the "schlocky" docu-dramas. Well done!!

[antibrevity]

Well done, sir. Well done.

What you've done here is amazing. I wish to thank those that helped you get these photos and I simply could not stop smiling when you showed us such a destroyed stone still very much plastered to the wall.

This may be odd, but I couldn't help but think of the scene in Monty Python's Grail where the old man says, "but I'm not dead yet". That stone was not intended to lie down, yet it's been assumed to be a portcullis for a very long time.

[jhb]

Heh. Your not so subtle dig at "some powerful individuals in Egypt" is pure gold. The man is not camera shy - there are thousands of pictures and loads of video you could choose from - but that seconds long clip was PERFECTION.

[sKraat]

There is so much cleverly disguised humor here 😂 especially in the beginning. Then you address several very serious questions and observations. Bravo, thorough and beautiful presentation 😊

[conniebenny]

Absolutely fantastic! Congratulations on a truly wonderful achievement, and the logical, fact-based conclusions it has allowed you to draw. I really hope you and those who helped you get the credit you deserve for this brilliant discovery.

[flojotube]

what you reveal for the FIRST TIME EVER @ 25:00 is I cannot believe this observation has never been made before, and cannot wait to see how this changes history.... BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

[Smithtube]

The bent pyramid is gorgeous, could you imagine how it must've looked after it was constructed? ❤

[gaylebaker]

I am a person who must be doing two things at once, such as reading a book while watching a video, or working a logic puzzle while listening to a podcast.

Your videos make me put everything else aside while I focus all my attention on your presentations.

Bravo!

[TaheerahA]

This was well worth the wait. Very interesting theory and observational evidence that presents a compelling counter to the traditional narrative. I know of your disdain for academic Egyptology and publishing your work through this route, but this is seriously worthy of being presented in a journal and being discussed in academic circles. Outstanding work.
