1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,000 So, again, behind the head of the Sphinx are a series of these incredible shafts. 2 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000 More than 10 feet across, 10 feet wide, and at present, at least 60 feet deep but fill... 3 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 So originally, they would have been much, much deeper, and they would have carried... 4 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:50,000 The vertical shafts connecting with horizontal tunnels that carried water. 5 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:59,000 According to Yusuf, this is the, of course, the causeway that goes to the second pyramid. 6 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:10,000 And the water traveled through these horizontal systems of tunnels, 7 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000 carrying the water to the Great Pyramid and the others to generate electricity. 8 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000 The pyramids split water into hydrogen and oxygen. 9 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000 And so that's why there are the chambers inside the pyramids. They weren't burial... 10 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000 They were places where electrical generation happened. 11 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:42,000 In the base, the water came, was split, and traveled up through the galleries and shaf... 12 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000 And for more information, check out Chris Dunn's Giza Power Plant. 13 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:57,000 This is the causeway leading from the Sphinx Temple, Valley Temple, up to the second... 14 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000 And this causeway is megalithic limestone. 15 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Massive blocks of, in general, tonnage. 16 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:19,000 And as Yusuf has told me, it was probably originally had an outer layer of either... 17 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Because you wouldn't tend to want to make a surface like this that is going to be used... 18 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Limestone is quite soft. Granite is super hard. 19 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:44,000 And again, the causeway, and what most people don't know, is that under the surface of t... 20 00:02:44,000 --> 00:03:02,000 And these are tunnels that lead down, possibly, to the great tunnel that travels... 21 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 The so-called Khafre pyramid. 22 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:23,000 So the series of shafts, tunnels, here in between the Sphinx and the second pyramid ... 23 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000 And they weren't all made for the burial of people. 24 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:36,000 So it's more likely that a lot of the tombs here in this area were actually inherited ... 25 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Sorry? 26 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000 They were reused. 27 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Right. 28 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:50,000 What I believe is that these shafts, tunnels, and chambers that are relevelled, let's ta... 29 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000 But then later it was divided. This was for something, this was for something else. 30 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000 And the priests used some of these chambers to be tombs. That's the transformation. Th... 31 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000 But they were reused later. To be tombs. And then archaeologists would come and find it... 32 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Then they would know that the original purpose of it was made to be a tomb. 33 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000 This is the mistake. 34 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Right. 35 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:36,000 So the problem, as Youssef has just said, is that if you presuppose that the dynastic... 36 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:44,000 That is, in a lot of cases, like huge multi-ton blocks. 37 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:55,000 This is reconstruction. But the work of the dynastic period, as Youssef has pointed ou... 38 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:09,000 But that's not to say nothing, but that is very simplistic work as compared to the... 39 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,000 Almost the same number making up the second pyramid and a lot making up the third... 40 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000 So prior to the dynastic Egyptians were the Chameisians. The Chameisians were the grea... 41 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Evidenced here by being able to hew into the solid living limestone. 42 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,000 You can see here how this resonance chamber works. 43 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000 This is the well where the sound of the water was coming from. 44 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000 And here would be the front of the false door. 45 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000 The false door used to interact in that chamber with the sound. 46 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Can you hear that? 47 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000 Oh yeah. 48 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 It still resonating, but not in any other part of the chamber. 49 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 Not here. 50 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000 It doesn't. 51 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000 No. 52 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:08,000 But here if the sound of the running water from underneath created sound, the sound w... 53 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:15,000 And that's what possibly generated the resonance, which was also needed sound. 54 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 So again here is the middle pyramid. 55 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 And we're in an area that has these incredible shafts. 56 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000 These have nothing to do with digging burials for people. 57 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000 Look at the size of that. 58 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 That has to be 15 feet across. 59 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 More than 15 feet from front to back. 60 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 And there's channel in it. 61 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000 And it's not isolated. 62 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,000 There are numerous vertical shafts here and throughout this whole area. 63 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:51,000 And from what Youssef has told me, you can find these shafts all through the strip of... 64 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,000 which is the most ancient part of the pre dynastic culture here, the commissions. 65 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:16,000 And again, we're talking about vertical shafts in many cases interacting with... 66 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000 So we're in the living bedrock now. 67 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Or maybe not. 68 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000 These could actually be massive. 69 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Oh, this is megalithic rock. 70 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 OK, so this is the bedrock. 71 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000 The cracks that I thought were joints actually are fissures and cracks in the... 72 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,000 You see this again, this is the Giza Plateau. 73 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000 And anywhere you find a shaft or the tunnel entrance, of course, you find a locked door. 74 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:09,000 So the hieroglyphics are later, and this was converted into a tomb, but its original... 75 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000 But quite possibly part of the water carrying system. 76 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,000 It was the ore for resonance. 77 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:29,000 And look, this shaft leading to two, one from up, and then the other one from down. 78 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000 And then the shaft leading to the tunnel. 79 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000 And the higher one for more resonance than water. 80 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Than water. 81 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:56,000 And look, this shaft leading to two, one from up, and then if you stood up a little, you... 82 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000 So there are chambers, shafts, tunnels, chambers, like that. 83 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 How many levels do you think there are? 84 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000 There are three levels of tunnel systems. 85 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000 Sphinx again. 86 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Wow, okay. 87 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Okay. 88 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Again, another shaft behind a locked gate heading down. 89 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000 And in behind this gate more. 90 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000 More. 91 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:19,000 So what also we can see is we can see the difference even in when they worked in... 92 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000 The quality difference between commission work, which is older than dynastic, and th... 93 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000 This is commission. 94 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,000 You see the beautiful complex angles. 95 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Very tight fitting joints. 96 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Originally very smooth finish. 97 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,000 And then what Yusef points out as being dynastic construction. 98 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Cruder, rougher surface, mortar, and cartouches, and hieroglyphics added later. 99 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000 This would have been a tomb most likely. 100 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000 It's been torn apart. 101 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000 And that's where we see parallels between here and Peru. 102 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Because again, most archaeologists, most visitors to Peru think that everything was... 103 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,000 That the megalithic work in super hard stone was done with primitive tools. 104 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000 All it took was a lot of people to do the work. 105 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000 But that's nonsensical because we see the same kind of thing. 106 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000 We see the megalithic is older, far superior. 107 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000 The Inca work is complex, but not as good. 108 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Sorry? 109 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 No decorations, no writings, nothing. 110 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Except the big chamber with one way to the left and another one to the right. 111 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000 And the other one probably leads further to the rest of the construction. 112 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Ah. 113 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Yeah. 114 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000 You can see hopefully here on that side, see there's an indent in the wall at the end. 115 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000 And then there is a tunnel underneath it. 116 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000 You see the little dark area, that's tunnel entrance. 117 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:11,000 And again, according to Yusuf, at least three levels of tunnels here at the Giza complex, 118 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000 which the word complex is too simplistic for this area. 119 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000 It's completely monstrous in scale. 120 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 This one was about to be transported. 121 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000 You find writings, you find that they reshape something like a false door 122 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 because it became something traditional after that. 123 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 So they copied it also. 124 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 That's what makes it confusing.
