1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,960 But the problem is, is that his feed rate exceeded the state of the art that we have 2 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:39,359 today in drag saws that use diamond. And so the article was based on Ford's logic. 3 00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:49,560 Now it almost looks like the blade had a curvature to it. So there's one way to fin... 4 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,960 curvature and that is to put a straight edge on it. 5 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:07,879 So this is Chris testing for flatness of a possible ancient cut surface. 6 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:17,719 But it's actually quite flat. Well no, it's got a bit of a... the surface comes out he... 7 00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:23,439 it kicks in right in there. Yeah you've got two different cuts. Yeah it comes down here. 8 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:31,000 Actually there's three. It ends there, then it steps out. There's one there, one there... 9 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:39,479 It appears that when they were actually placing these basalt blocks into the table... 10 00:01:39,479 --> 00:01:47,120 just kind of slicing off just to make them fit, just to have the top surfaces come... 11 00:01:47,120 --> 00:02:00,240 That's an ancient saw cut you can tell. Because here, look at that, you can see ho... 12 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:07,520 could have been pounded by stone to get the surface. But here, that's clearly evidence of 13 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:16,080 some kind of tool like a saw cutting through the material for the top half. This is at the 14 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Great Pyramid. And similar to Peru, what we see is different materials, different form... 15 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,960 workmanship from crude to incredibly refined. Here again, I'm going to look at another s... 16 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:53,960 But this is... I'm just blown away. This is the Great Pyramid of Giza. But here, have ... 17 00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:11,159 This is an obvious saw cut. See this is the rough layer and then this is not only... 18 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:19,319 but you can see where the cutter, like the saw or whatever, stopped because here is... 19 00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:30,400 broken away. And on this side too. But what blows me away is just the number, the amou... 20 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:42,319 here is nuts. So this is the Great Pyramid at Giza. And there, the original, what's left... 21 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:52,680 original casing stone you can see right there. And this is just our first half an... 22 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:59,960 this blows me, completely blows me away because we've seen obvious evidence of... 23 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:08,879 technology in Basalt, which would require, as far as I'm concerned, tungsten carbide or... 24 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:19,560 And that's obviously why we're here with Christopher Dunn and Stephen Mailer becaus... 25 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:29,280 expert on technology. He works in a very modern establishment and has done for 50... 26 00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:34,639 of working with the most modern high-tech equipment for cutting materials and shapin... 27 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:42,239 And with Stephen Mailer, we have the oral tradition based on the work of Abdel Hakim... 28 00:04:42,239 --> 00:04:49,079 the two of them, we have full, the ability to look at the left brain and the light brain... 29 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:53,879 Amazing stuff. I had no idea we'd be this incredible. 30 00:04:53,879 --> 00:05:00,920 These are pavement stones. This was purposely laid to level the plateau. See, this is... 31 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,959 stone, everything to see. Look at some of these blocks. Hakim Awayan, 30 feet long... 32 00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:12,159 weighing 200 tons. Some of these stones, so you understand before they built anything up, 33 00:05:12,159 --> 00:05:17,879 they leveled the plateau. But this is all artificial construction. And what you're... 34 00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:22,879 along the line, you'll see holes. Sometimes you'll see square holes. Sometimes you'll ... 35 00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:28,120 They originally were open to the tunnels underneath to solar energy to heat the water. 36 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:35,879 According to Abdel Hakim, water is the source of the energy of the pyramids. Water.... 37 00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:40,560 the bond from hydrogen and oxygen and water releases a tremendous amount of energy. 38 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:49,159 So, and as you see, as Youssef explained coming up, these lower courses of this... 39 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,960 the case to this rose granite. All of this that's come off were the lower courses. So, 40 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,640 did they quarry this? Of course not. They didn't take this granite. This is evidence 41 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:04,040 of the cataclysm. Direct evidence of the cataclysm. These stones were weakened, fel... 42 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,720 then they could come with metal chisels and attack the stone. But they could not do this. 43 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,360 Take these off without something, some event happening. So it's not just quarry. They will 44 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,920 tell you it's been quarried. But not. This is all a vent of the cataclysm. 45 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:24,400 So here at the Menkara pyramid, the casing stone, which is red granite from Aswan,... 46 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,120 500 miles from the quarry. It's about two, at least two feet thick. So it's not like 47 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,960 a thin veneer layer. It's at least two feet thick. Again, there's Khafre pyramid in the 48 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:45,319 background. A lot of knobs on these stones on the outside. Very similar to what we see 49 00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:56,279 in Peru. And the indigenous story is similar, again, to what we find in Peru. And that 50 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:04,000 is that the knobs there were for the tuning of the wall, because this wasn't simply a 51 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:14,480 functional thing. If this and these were indeed ancient power plants and vibratory... 52 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:24,280 then it kind of makes sense that you would have to tune the exterior in order to achieve 53 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:31,439 the vibration harmonic that you were after. At least that is a more, I think, logical 54 00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:35,720 explanation than the idea that those knobs were there to help lift the stones, because 55 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:44,000 a lot of the biggest ones don't have any knobs on. And then it's on this side, we 56 00:07:44,000 --> 00:08:00,480 see the little pyramids. You can clearly see how the entire exterior of granite has been 57 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:11,560 of these baby pyramids. Again, the Khafre one here. And the whole area is strewn with 58 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:34,000 the remains of cannibalization of an ancient structure and ancient areas by later people. 59 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,639 And before you say, oh my God, isn't that awful, how could they do this? Remember, 60 00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:47,080 buildings are a minimum of around 4,000 years old and could be much older. Over that period 61 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:55,679 of time, cultures come, cultures go. And especially later cultures who arrive and h... 62 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:02,279 as to the significance of the original constructions. They look at these things a... 63 00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:10,279 You don't only find that in Egypt, you find that in Peru and throughout the Middle East, 64 00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:15,439 I'm sure, and many places in the world. So the great pyramid in the background here o... 65 00:09:15,439 --> 00:09:25,279 Plateau, and you see this is the solid bedrock, sandstone. Most likely these are... 66 00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:34,720 carved into the bedrock itself. And what this looks like is a little pyramid. What you s... 67 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:45,439 the right-hand side, you see how the shaped sandstone blocks interlock with the origin... 68 00:09:45,439 --> 00:09:52,519 itself. Because you see all of these indentations here made so that the blocks... 69 00:09:52,559 --> 00:10:01,120 they're trying to lock in a three-dimensional way the stone, introduced stone, with the... 70 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:15,319 itself. And that of course makes the structure a lot stronger. And where we're... 71 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:27,640 towards the Sphinx and Sphinx Temple. I made a mistake, that's not the great pyramid,... 72 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:38,160 Menkara because here we have the second pyramid in the background, Kafrei, and the... 73 00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:47,799 the big one, great one here. And with the limestone you can see that there's no real 74 00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:57,120 obvious evidence of mortar in between the limestone blocks. Limestone's not that har... 75 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:07,079 relatively, but it's a lot harder than these piles of adobe. And the bottom line of course 76 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:18,160 is the fact that the oldest construction is the finest. And where we find lack of mort... 77 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:26,120 like material to glue the stones together, that is the oldest. The newer stuff, as in... 78 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,800 old, that's where you find mortar. Much more difficult to construct a building without... 79 00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:38,079 and width because the stones have to fit perfectly in place. How's that for a view ... 80 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:49,079 This is inside the Sphinx Temple and this block of gray-black granite is perfectly... 81 00:11:49,240 --> 00:12:00,080 leveled. And it's similar to some of the stuff we see in Peru because you see the... 82 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:10,480 a lot of the stones are rounded over like that for strength. This is all basically r... 83 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:27,039 perfectly leveled. And you can see the weathering at the bottom that looks like t... 84 00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:39,080 been the result of water. But we had Chris Dunn here with his gauge, which is accurat... 85 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:47,960 foot to 10 thousandths of an inch. This surface was that flat. This is only a... 86 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:54,240 at the Sphinx Temple because we will be coming back. We have to kind of race throu... 87 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:07,840 But here too, even with the weathered surface, you can see half of a degree off ... 88 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:23,080 That's because of the water weathering. Here, 0.2 degrees off of being perfectly leveled. 89 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:38,040 So for those of you who may never get a chance to come to Egypt, this gives you a... 90 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:52,440 into the Sphinx Temple. This is one of the pits. It could have actually been one of t... 91 00:13:52,440 --> 00:14:00,240 because the thing is that the whole Giza complex is filled with tunnels, horizontal... 92 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:08,000 tunnels that were probably what were used to conduct water in ancient times when the... 93 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:18,720 were the energy generating things that they were. So stay tuned for future updates as ... 94 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,600 through this journey. But unfortunately, we always have to race through some of these on 95 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,360 our first day in order to get a brief look at what some of this stuff looks like. Sphinx. 96 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:44,200 Interesting graffiti covered stone wall. How about the fact that you're actually lookin... 97 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:58,160 the great Sphinx of Egypt. What we now know, thanks to the work of Dr. Robert Schoch, 98 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:09,560 John Anthony West, Graham Hancock and others, is the fact that the Sphinx has been shown... 99 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:19,479 older than any pharaoh. At least two or three thousand years older than the first known... 100 00:15:19,479 --> 00:15:30,279 So we're looking at a pre-dynastic, pre-Phoronic construction. This of course ... 101 00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:41,439 the Sphinx has been repaired over and over and over again. It's even been written tha... 102 00:15:41,439 --> 00:15:55,399 was being repaired during the time of Khufu and Khafre, the pharaohs supposedly... 103 00:15:55,399 --> 00:16:06,399 the giant pyramids behind the Sphinx. But water erosion, as based on the work of Dr.... 104 00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:16,519 as shown here in the Sphinx enclosure, it's water erosion that caused the necessity to... 105 00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:26,840 Sphinx. The head is not original. It was re-carved at least once. And what most peo... 106 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:40,240 is that the Sphinx was originally simply the head exposed above the plane of sandstone.... 107 00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:47,919 out to create the shape of the body. But it wasn't dug out with a bunch of adzes,... 108 00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:58,200 and chisels. Cubes were taken out. Giant cubes which wound up being converted into ... 109 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:05,279 temple and possibly also the valley temple nearby. Okay, we're now going to discuss t... 110 00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:09,279 the Sphinx and we have to give credit to the great Dr. Robert Schoch from Boston... 111 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,079 who first was brought here by John Anthony West in the early 90s and did a detailed... 112 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:19,039 erosion of the Sphinx. It was featured in an NBC special, Mysteries of the Sphinx, whic... 113 00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:25,279 for two Emmys and won an Emmy for Best Original Screenplay. As Dr. Schoch explain... 114 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:30,160 sedimentary rock, forms in sediments under the ocean. It's called pneumalitic limesto... 115 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,759 little seashells, pneumalites. So it does not form uniform. Limestone falls heterogeneou... 116 00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:41,680 homogeneous. Meaning you could have a hard layer, soft layer, harder layer, soft layer, 117 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:48,079 harder layer, hard layers, harder layer. So what he found is a particular erosion that... 118 00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:52,799 some of the hardest layers. He actually mapped the whole stratigraphy of this side... 119 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:58,559 and its hardness and its durability. So what he found was some of the hardest layers of... 120 00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:03,759 are the most eroded. So he concluded that it would take rainfall beating at an angle fo... 121 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:09,519 years to do this. Not a flash flood, not a flash rainfall. It's steadily raining for... 122 00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:14,879 thousands of years. The hardest erosion layers are the most eroded. And then it ha... 123 00:18:14,879 --> 00:18:20,640 rounded surface, which Dr. Schoch says is classic water erosion, not wind and sand,... 124 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,000 in the Fourth Dynasty tombs, cut away, eaten away by the sand. This rolling, rounded, i... 125 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,599 water erosion. It clearly cannot be because of climatic conditions less than eight to ... 126 00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:35,599 years that the climate was here to cause that type of rainfall. That's his conservative... 127 00:18:35,599 --> 00:18:40,559 We say well over ten thousand years. Hakim placed the date of the Sphinx at fifty fou... 128 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:46,480 What also Dr. Schoch found was the erosion in the front of the Sphinx was eight feet dee... 129 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,679 erosion layer in the back of the Sphinx was four feet deep. Not all constructed at the... 130 00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:56,480 First was the head and the forelegs, then the body and the tail much, much later, thousa... 131 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,640 later. So she's not done it all at the same time, but that obviously the head was done... 132 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,480 Also he concluded at the top layer that you can see was actually the ground level of t... 133 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,400 Only what was now the head would have been sticking out, it would have been just a... 134 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,880 outcropping originally what you call the yardang. Only the head. And so the head is... 135 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,519 We know she's been carved back many, many times. According to Hakim's tradition, the... 136 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:26,799 of the Sphinx was like Sekhmet or Tefnut if we see her in images. A lioness-human... 137 00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:32,480 I believe it's been re-carved back by who was called Menis Menaha. Carved it in the face of 138 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:38,240 his mother, black African woman. But clearly the erosion is the smoking gun. This canno... 139 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,559 by wind and sand. This is classic water erosion. At least ten thousand years old. 140 00:19:51,519 --> 00:20:07,519 Inside the Great Pyramid. This is known as the Robbers Entrance. It was 141 00:20:08,879 --> 00:20:16,240 by the son of the caliph of Baghdad, Muhammad Al Mamun in 810 AD. And we're going to the 142 00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:18,400 descending passageway which is the original structure. 143 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:37,519 Inside the Great Pyramid. And we are going down into... 144 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,920 No. The subterranean chamber is padlocked. 145 00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:56,160 This is the original entrance. This is the ascending passage. 146 00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:04,319 And we're hoping we're going to get a key open for the descending passage. 147 00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:13,440 So the subterranean chamber has been padlocked even though 148 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:27,039 we had permission to enter. There's a lock on it. So instead we're climbing up into the... 149 00:21:27,039 --> 00:21:45,359 Okay. This is the Grand Gallery inside. The Great Pyramid at Giza. 150 00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:50,399 You see the projections. 151 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,119 Or the... Yeah, projections. 152 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:04,959 Almost saw like pattern of the walls tapering as it goes upwards. 153 00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:11,279 Okay. The roofs we see here is obviously not made for decoration. It's made to be... 154 00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:17,359 and affect the sound resonance. We can see here how these stones are housed like puzz... 155 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,319 because this was what we know as a resonance filter. The vibration here was so powerful 156 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:27,920 that if these things were not attached together in that very fine way they would ... 157 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:34,319 immediately once the resonance is activated. Let me activate it from here and we'll see... 158 00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:46,319 Oh, is that you doing that? Yeah. Bloody hell. 159 00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:49,359 Oh. 160 00:23:02,399 --> 00:23:11,439 I hope you can hear the incredible sonic vibrational experience that this is. This... 161 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:19,759 That low sound is Yusuf by himself creating that amazing resonance. 162 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,640 So this is one of the baffles just before getting into 163 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,960 the so-called King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid at Giza. 164 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:56,720 Well, this is the actual entrance into King's Chamber. A bunch of people are in here. 165 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,799 Oh, the size of this. 166 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:36,799 Michael is now getting inside the box 167 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:46,799 which is solid granite. 168 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:06,799 So 169 00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:20,799 Yusuf is now in the box in the Great Pyramid. 170 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,799 I lost my camera. 171 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:52,319 Okay, I am now... I am now inside the box in the King's Chamber. There's no way you can... 172 00:25:53,279 --> 00:26:01,039 the experience of being in here unless you've actually been in here because the sound is so 173 00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:07,439 complex and so incredible and how somebody could possibly think that this was... 174 00:26:07,439 --> 00:26:15,599 tomb and not as a acoustical vibrational device I don't understand. But this is a... 175 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:22,240 come true to actually be lying down inside this incredible granite box in the King's... 176 00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:26,719 on the Giza Plateau in Egypt. 177 00:26:29,919 --> 00:26:37,039 That's amazing. We've been able to secure the Great Pyramid for two hours 178 00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:41,359 for our group thanks to the Kemet School 179 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,039 www.kemetology.com 180 00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:52,480 Now we're entering 181 00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,000 Queen's Chamber. This passage is only a little over three feet high. 182 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:09,119 It's made of fine solid rock, solid limestone and the walls are incredibly straight. 183 00:27:11,599 --> 00:27:21,759 Definitely an engineering marvel and as some theorize and I believe too, 184 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:31,519 the Great Pyramid was a massive machine that created electricity, created energy. 185 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,000 This is one of the shafts in the Queen's Chamber. One on this side 186 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,640 and one on the opposite side. 187 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:05,279 We can see evidence some kind of build-up of material of this black. It's probably not 188 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,720 smoke from the fire of the builders but something else maybe a chemical reaction 189 00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,480 that went horribly awry in the Queen's Chamber. 190 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,920 Now we're heading back through 191 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,759 the causeway or whatever you want to call it. 192 00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:35,680 It connects the Queen's Chamber back up with the main entrance. 193 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880 Hello, how are you? 194 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,640 Ernie's from Australia. Everybody in Australia, how the hell are you? 195 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,240 Hey, Mustafa. 196 00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:54,319 Mustafa. 197 00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,920 And to the descending passage, which is here. 198 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:12,079 Okay, maybe halfway down now or a third of the way down the descending passage into the 199 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:18,720 subterranean chamber. Not as tough so far as I thought it would be. I thought the roof... 200 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:25,839 be or ceiling would be a lot lower but anyway. Onwards. Okay, all the way down no... 201 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,680 of the subterranean chamber. Now I'm sure you're thinking, 202 00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:35,600 gee that didn't take very long. Well, it's because I turned the camera off. 203 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:44,319 It's several hundred feet down but it's an incredibly straight line. 204 00:29:44,639 --> 00:29:52,240 And then this way, this is where it's going to get tougher. This is hands and knees in... 205 00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:58,319 for about 30 feet maybe but then it looks like that is the subterranean chamber. So 206 00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:03,839 let's see what it looks like. Okay, John, this is the entrance into the subterranean... 207 00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,799 I'll try to do some measurements after we get a very rough 208 00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:16,480 estimate of what it is we're looking at. 209 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:27,759 This is where the floor drops down and there is a square shaft in here 210 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:34,159 that at the present looks like it drops about 211 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,120 15 feet and then it's filled with sand. 212 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:47,200 And on the wall directly opposite of the entrance here 213 00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:55,759 we have another shaft and this goes on 214 00:30:55,759 --> 00:31:04,879 seemingly for an incredibly long distance. I might check it afterwards and see if it 215 00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:14,240 turns to the right about there. But your thing of interest 216 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,160 is up here. 217 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,400 So this is the channel thing walkway up 218 00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:42,960 and there are a number of knob-like projections using a foot for scale here. 219 00:31:48,879 --> 00:31:49,440 This side, 220 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:56,320 I think this is what you're interested in. Unfortunately all the light bulbs are gone. 221 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:07,840 It's a pretty rough surface. I'll do in steps out from the wall 222 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:15,039 here. Again the entrance is over there and I'm in the almost opposite corner. 223 00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:18,720 So I'll do steps. My foot is about a foot. 224 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:39,759 18 feet to the point where it drops off. It's like a double step. 225 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,319 The ground up to this level and then up to this level where it goes across to there. 226 00:32:46,319 --> 00:32:47,920 So 18 feet plus. 227 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:59,599 One, two, three, four feet the first step and then a drop down there about three feet. 228 00:33:01,359 --> 00:33:05,839 It approximately fills half the room. We don't have a long tape measure. 229 00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:11,759 Anyway, I'll try to get some pictures. 230 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,000 This is the inside of the 231 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:24,159 projection thing in the corner opposite the entrance. 232 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:29,200 This projection thing in the corner opposite the entrance 233 00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:35,519 with quite an interesting 234 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:47,440 blob in the middle. Then the wall is here and then this is where it starts. 235 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,880 It's approximately, again I'll get measurements, hopefully it's approximately 236 00:33:54,720 --> 00:34:06,160 um two and a half feet in the wall. So having just descended the descending passage 237 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:15,280 into the subtrading chamber, we walk out through the cavern that was created 238 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:24,000 by the Turks I think by blowing it up and that was our visit to the incredible here. 239 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:38,000 This is the ramecium obviously named after Gramsys. This is where you get the sense o... 240 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:52,000 An important point that Stephen Mailer pointed out is if you look at the carvings... 241 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,640 they're different from the carvings on the right. Carvings on the left may be older. ... 242 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:06,560 on the right are deeper and they were most likely done for ramses because there was a... 243 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:17,199 during certain periods to deface the names of older so-called pharaohs and so ramses wanted 244 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:23,759 to make sure or his priest maybe wanted to make sure that his name and all the writin... 245 00:35:23,759 --> 00:35:30,639 him were kept almost forever and it would be very difficult to deface something that wa... 246 00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:32,960 cut into the stone like this. 247 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:46,239 Now we don't see so far any sign of lost ancient technology or super ancient 248 00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:55,359 work. This is all limestone and again according to Stephen and others limestone ... 249 00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:02,320 material afterwards because limestone was softer. You could work it with bronze chis... 250 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:11,519 hammers but when it comes to carvings or buildings which were made of granite basal... 251 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:19,519 calcite that requires tools that are harder than bronze. The question is what tools we... 252 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:27,039 In the archaeological record there are no tools as far as I know other than bronze... 253 00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:33,840 stone hammer so the harder stone is hinting at us that the work that was done is older 254 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:39,360 than the pharaonic dynastic Egyptians. 255 00:36:49,519 --> 00:37:10,639 And like at any ancient site you see different time periods existing. This... 256 00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:17,039 Awayan is dynastic period. Again they were working with limestone. Limestone is not v... 257 00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:24,079 so they could work it with bronze chisels and stone hammers but these sculptures are... 258 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:32,159 Granite is much harder could not be properly shaped especially not fine detail with bronze 259 00:37:32,159 --> 00:37:39,199 chisel stone hammers and sandpaper and possibly even more curious are the presenc... 260 00:37:39,199 --> 00:37:48,639 cuts which we find in different parts of the world but they're most famous here and als... 261 00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:58,639 Peru and Bolivia. Keystone cuts for bronze or some kind of metal would be put in there 262 00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:06,319 supposedly to hold the stones together but what you'll notice about these ones is you... 263 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:14,400 the tools that were used chisels so these are not especially sophisticated examples of them 264 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,440 but they're present nonetheless. 265 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:39,280 So in terms of a sense of scale again this is the statue or part of the statue this is p... 266 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:46,240 head and his ear and then coming down that way his shoulder 267 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:55,600 one thousand tons finished one block of stone. Originally of course it would have... 268 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:03,120 more than a thousand tons because it would have been a rough piece to start with. 269 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,120 That's not around. 270 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:13,620 Wow. 271 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,720 Here you can see after it fell it's the result of an earthquake supposedly somebod... 272 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:31,920 and this is his head and attempted to separate a section as building material an... 273 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:38,079 they gave up because this is rose granite super hard stone. 274 00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:50,720 So here's the bottom of part of the one thousand ton statue and I believe this is ... 275 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:59,840 on which he stood and just the size of his feet. 276 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,280 Here's my hand in comparison. 277 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:23,840 Our one foot compared to a foot. 278 00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:29,440 My foot's about the size of his toenail. 279 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,920 So again finished at a thousand tons. 280 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,680 So how did they move it 500 miles from the quarry at Aswan? 281 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,360 Most if not all of the rose granite came from the Aswan quarry 282 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:54,720 and so how was it moved? How do you move a thousand tons? You're not obviously going to 283 00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:59,280 move it on rollers across the desert. You're not going to be able to build a reed boat ... 284 00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:07,599 strong enough to be able to carry a finished sculpture at a thousand tons and if it was 285 00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:14,480 brought here raw as a raw blank stone prior to carving then you're talking at least 12... 286 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:23,599 maybe 1300 tons. How would they have moved it? So here's the bottom of part of the 287 00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:35,760 one thousand ton statue and I believe this is the base on which he stood 288 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,360 and just the size of his feet. 289 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,360 So here's the top of the statue. 290 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,360 Here's the top of the statue. 291 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,360 So here's the top of the statue. 292 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,360 So here's the top of the statue. 293 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,360 So here's the top of the statue. 294 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,360 So here's the top of the statue. 295 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,360 So here's the top of the statue. 296 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,360 So here's the top of the statue. 297 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,360 So here's the top of the statue. 298 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,360 So here's the top of the statue. 299 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,360 So here's the top of the statue. 300 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,360 So here's the top of the statue. 301 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,360 So here's the top of the statue. 302 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,360 So here's the top of the statue. 303 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,360 My foot's about the size of his toenail. 304 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,360 So again, finished at a thousand tons. 305 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,360 So how did they move it? 500 miles from the quarry at Aswan. 306 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,360 Most, if not all, of the rose granite came from the Aswan quarry. 307 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,360 And so how was it moved? How do you move a thousand tons? 308 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:37,360 A thousand tons. You're not obviously going to move it on rollers across the desert. 309 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:45,360 You're not going to be able to build a reed boat big enough, strong enough to be able ... 310 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:55,360 And if it was brought here raw, as a raw blank stone prior to carving, then you're... 311 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,360 How would they have moved it? 312 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:11,360 Another point to take into account here at the Ramaseum is here we have limestone, wh... 313 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:21,360 But these columns, as vast as they are, at least 20 feet high, you can clearly see th... 314 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:27,360 As you can see the seam as we go down where the fill and repair work is. 315 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:39,360 So during dynastic times when this was built, they were working with limestone and worki... 316 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:49,360 But as we go farther back in time to the pre-dynastic period, when they're working... 317 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:59,360 quite often that's megalithic, that's a single block of stone, sometimes a single... 318 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:09,360 So it's not simply the hardness of the stone that was used prior to dynastic times, but... 319 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,360 And the question is how did they move this stuff? Slades? No. 320 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,360 These are the colossi of Memnon. 321 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,360 They are at least 30 feet tall. 322 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,360 And originally were one piece of stone. 323 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:48,360 This was one solid block of rock. 324 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,360 On top of a monstrous base. 325 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:08,360 Now the thing is that just because there are hieroglyphics on them, 326 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:13,360 it doesn't necessarily mean that the hieroglyphics were done at the same time 327 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:20,360 that the carving, shaping of these massive sculptures were done. 328 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:30,360 So to date the colossi based upon the hieroglyphics that are on them could be ve... 329 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:37,360 I think they're far older. I think these are from the pre-dynastic commission period. 330 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:43,360 And God knows how they moved the damn things hundreds of times, if not more. 331 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:48,360 But I'll have to find out exactly how much they originally weighed. 332 00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,360 So you're looking at Luxor Temple or a very small part of it here. 333 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,360 The sound in the background is a mosque. 334 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:11,360 And this is one of the faces, reputed to be Ramsey's the Second, 335 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:18,360 that engineer Chris Dunn believes was done with ancient high technology. 336 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:28,360 Because he's found what he believes are machine tool marks inside the nostrils and... 337 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,360 He's found the actual machine tool marks on the face. 338 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:42,360 Because the precision of this sculpture is so fine that one side is a mirror image of th... 339 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:56,360 And right next to this head of Ramsey's is an incredible obelisk. 340 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:07,360 It's at least 8 feet on one side of the base. 341 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,360 And I have no idea. It's got to be 60 feet tall. 342 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,360 Made of rose granite. 343 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:21,360 Brought from the quarry at Aswan. 344 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:31,360 So these rose granite sculptures, which have to be 15 feet tall, 345 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:38,360 that cartouche here was added later. 346 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,360 The name of Ramsey's was put that after. 347 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:48,360 So it's likely that this does not, the sculpture does not represent Ramsey's. 348 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,360 It could be a lot older. 349 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:55,360 And what Youssef Awian pointed out, 350 00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,360 the first one has the cartouche there, 351 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,360 the second one has the cartouche there, 352 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:09,360 the third one doesn't. 353 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:19,360 You see there's the cartouche with his name on it. 354 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:28,360 Next to it is a dagger, but here the dagger is in the way of where it would be. 355 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:33,360 So that's another sign with a great possibility 356 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:40,360 that the hieroglyph does not name the original sculpture itself, 357 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:48,360 but was added afterwards and possibly long after the carving was done. 358 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:54,360 Carver chisels and stone hammers cannot achieve this work.
