The Middle Pyramid Megalithic Complex - Vastly Ancient, was this the FIRST to be Built at Giza?

An investigation into Giza's massive and megalithic Middle Pyramid complex - is it possible that this was the FIRST pyramid built on the plateau, before the Great Pyramid? We dive into the history, details, and evidence for advanced ancient technology in these engimatic structures, including the Pyramid itself, the Mortuary and Valley Temple, the Causeway, and of course the Great Sphinx. We pose the question: did King Khafre really build all this - or was some of it inherited from earlier times?

Part 1 of a 2 part series, Part 2 coming soon!

Watching this for the second time, i cant stress how important these documentaries (thats what they are) are. No adverts, no agendas, no rigid close minded beliefs, just evidence, knowledge and passion. Amazing work. Better than anything on history channel, discovery, national geo etc.

[feldthausen]

I remember as a kid feeling like this world was so full of mystery. And then that sense of wonder was slowly drained out of me by the education system, media, modern culture in general. There's such a desire for certainty in the scientific establishment, a need to feel like we've got it all figured out. The people like you who work to remind us that that mystery we used to sense is real and hasn't gone anywhere... You're doing Good Work, and I thank you.

[jonr]

Still amazes me that stupid unboxing videos and various other garbage get millions of views and stuff like this gets just a small fraction. Great stuff as always Ben!

[davidf]

Hey Ben. From someone who thinks this work is amongst the most important work humanity can do, I appreciate your content so much. 👏 keep it up! People like you are picking up the torch for Hancock, Schoch, West, Bauval, Foerster and many others. Don't stop! Keep inspiring us!

Turned on my pc at the right time. Egypt and coffee. Good Saturday start.

[Gamerock]

Another fantastic look, into these enigma, that have nagged at me since childhood. For me the glaring fact that the disrespect shown, in treating these monuments like quarries, emphatically proves neither they nor their ancestors built them, is undeniable.
Cannot wait for part 2. Thanks again.

[ephwardshartwell]

Ben, The biggest mystery of the Pyramids is why the complex has never been fully investigated by the powers that they already have and are withholding the information. Best Regards.

[francischambless]

Ben, those large crazy-angled cut stones making up the floor around the pyramid are just insane! One frame my son and I were talking about has such crazy cuts making a triangular corner that's small in comparison to the huge bulk of the rest.... How in the crazy heck would even that be cut so precisely, moved so well, placed so perfectly, and planned to start without it being destroyed or damaged at any period of it's creation?!?!!? Crazy! If an architect told me to cut that in such hard stone I'd first tell him he's nuts and why he wouldn't want a safe, easily managed smaller rectangular block?!!? It just doesn't make any sense. Thanks for the high quality videos so that these details can be seen!

[travisfurlong]

The pyramids are such incredible wonders of this amazing world. Thank you for highlighting them so professionally! Love all your hard work!

[annewitkowski]

Lovely video, Ben. It amazes me that you can produce this quality work while talking on a live stream. I can't watch a video and swallow coffee at the same time. Happy Solstice.

[gairmac]

Have been to Giza a few times now and have always felt strongly that there's way more to the middle pyramid that we just dont know yet. Needless to say I loved this video!

[lenstar]

I got to the end of this latest video and was pissed that it was finished, so what did I do……..I watched it again. I honestly can’t get enough of your videos Ben. LEGEND

[FunnyOldeWorld]

and he’s bringing it back with the best stuff

[kitemanmusic]

Very interesting video. Thanks. Videoed with excellent equipment. I love the close-ups of stone blocks. It just fills you with awe!

[alvarocoronel]

Yesss! A high quality, interesting, thoughtful video!!

[teabaggins]

You're getting better and better at making this videos and making case for your theory. Never stop what you're doing! Love from Japan.

[kateemma-]

Watched this seated having my Saturday dinner, the best way possible.
Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL presentation, if only more history teachers in school came at history in such an informative way.

[matthewbarrios]

Great video Ben. I found your channel about a 6 months ago and have binge watched every video you have done and your fellow researchers. I've been scratching my head and searching for truth for years because the numbers of history didn't add up for me. My own research, along with your guidance, have opened my eyes to what I felt the whole time. Thank you so much for what you do. I was so excited to see a new video from you! Please keep it up and take care brother.

[chuckmadden]

Very much enjoyed this. Your open mindedness and use of scientific method in search of answers is refreshing.

[heavyj]

Every moment of this is excellent! Very nicely done Ben!
