Most mind-blowing thing about this video is that they're still saying slaves build the pyramids. When in fact they were highly skilled well-paid workers.

[dorayantz]

How amazing and fascinating are the architectures of the ancient time.

[adiraallure]

Egyptians and the Pharaohs were like "never let them know your next move"😂

[mohamedabdelhalimhelmy]

It's a mind-blowing theory, As an Egyptian, I feel happy to hear how much my ancestors were great.

[jonmernick]

You know what's really funny the Egyptians recorded everything possible but not one thing about cutting and moving through huge rocks. Thr elephant in the room😊

[Haywire-Alguire]

The Pyramids were built several thousand years ago and we still don't know who or what built them !! Now that's a mystery of our history !!

Fascinating insights into the secrets of Egypt's pyramids

[maggiemoore]

My dad likes looking into the stories of the ancient Egyptians, thought I'd give it a try and see what all the fuss is about. Very interesting stuff indeed!

This is top-grade content. A matching book I read served as a roadmap for my life. "The Silent Bridge: Echoes of the Unspoken Past" by Emma Wick

Remember: letters aren't just restricted to the meaning we use them for. These letters most likely have more than one meaning. For instance, the T can also represent the scales of weight. The Letter A can also represent pyramid and hierarchy. K can represent the discovery of reflection, mirror. Figure out the rest. I only give my opinion.

[nathitshabalala]

The assumption that the civilisation that built the pyramids were not advanced is foolish.

[Lux-XMP]

For me these theories make me feel alive.

[tableater_real]

This is so absurd but makes so much sense I can't wait to see how this theory progresses

[katarinacastillo]

Peruvian researcher Ricardo Gonzalez had an incredible experience after ETs invited him to meditate inside what some refer to as a sarcophagus - he had an out of body experience where his consciousness was transported up one of the shafts to Mintaka and where he met with the Council of the 14 - what they relayed is in his book El Portal Cosmico de Orion, thus far published in Spanish and Portuguese - a MUST read!!! 🤯

[bettinaschewe]

There is not even one account in all the Egyptian literature that confirms the theory that they had electricity, just that one carving that looks like a light bulb but could also be anything. And there is a lot wrong here: some of the tunnels of the pyramids were not originally there but made by robbers later, and the images with the salt are not from the pyramids from Ghiza as they had no paintings.

[isaiahnolan]

What if the pyramids were used as water storage tanks? In case of droughts, the pyramid would house massive amounts of water that can then be used for farming and drinking? Think of the translation of pyramid, fire and middle, not as fire in the middle, but the middle of the fire, or in the middle of a drought, and the so-called fire is the hot temperatures called by the fire in the sky, the Sun.

[amank]

5:50 Each pyramid used to take atleast 30 years to build so after that golden time of 300-400 years, the pharaoh started to look into other things that were more important and because of wars and drought they knew that they won't be able to live long enough to watch their pyramid being completed to they stopped building these giant pyramids.

[toddhunsley]

What if the pyramids are actually just the tip of huge buried obelisk?

[bhamacuk]

@6:33 the flaw in that theory is that the word pyramid didn't exist in ancient Egyptian times.
