Egyptologists Open a Newly-Discovered Pyramid

Excavations in Dahshur have revealed something exciting: a brand new pyramid, discovered beneath a local quarry. Shortly after, archaeologists find the passage that leads into the heart of the tomb.

Who else got a little nervous when that guy was just laying right underneath that huge block?😂

Saying its a burial tomb. Some Egyptian Pharaoh is rolling over in his sarcophagus because they actually just discovered the janitors shed. ;)

Egyptian history is so fascinating! Visiting Egypt is on my bucket list.

The only logical explanation is that the contents in the tomb were stolen by the very same crew that sealed it. The thieves were 4, 500 years ahead of us.

EDIT: Yes, the burglary happened a LOOONG, LONG time ago. If not the crew itself, the thieves had to be from that era. They took the time to seal it up and put the stones back on, indicating a fear of being discovered. This can only make sense within an active civilization. After the last of ancient Egypt fell, the place has been a barren desert for thousands of years.

possibilities I can think of:
- robbed prior to being sealed
- there was never anything in that chamber
- undiscovered second entrance

Can't help but get the feeling all these "important" chambers and areas teams are digging up on the surface are actually just scratching MUCH more massive structures buried further down.

I spent six hours doing the math and you had a 25.6% chance of being beheaded when you stuck your head in that tomb.

2:31 - That's some faith in rigging....

[tredention]

PLOT TWIST: It wasn't robbed thousands of years ago, the egyptologists themselves emptied the tomb when they found it, then filmed this video to cover it up

[williepurdom]

You didn't really think they were going to tell you what they really found did you?....

[theraginggamr]

Man... I just wanna be the guy who opens these things and sees what’s actually in it before the government takes it and hides it 😂

[Weekend]

Can you imagine how different this entire place of Egypt would have looked back then? They say the oceans dried up in parts of the land and we have seen that true in even 70 years of our history. Imagine 3, 000 years ago, what the earth might have looked like. Incredible to imagine.

[adamrodgers]

I honestly wish we could take out all of the sand in the desert. Imagine what the desert is still hiding. Years and years of sand blowing over everything.

Clue 1 : The pyramid is already missing.

[BirdWhisperer]

So let me get this straight, modern day thieves are upset cause ancient thieves beat them to the goodies? HAHAHA

[richiestyle]

That’s why the minister so easily gives permission to lift the capstone. To get permission never goes easily. Say the Sphinx...

[clivecook]

Where is the evidence that it was ever a tomb? That's just an unproven theory.

[JohnC.]

How is it you guys are still saying the pyramids are tombs when no bodys have EVER been found inside any of them

[ArnoldClarke]

Don’t be fooled. No mummy has ever been found in a pyramid ever. They weren’t ever built as a tomb.

[simplymoonchild]

It’s been “founded” a long time ago before this discovery.
