1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,000
I just thought I would start by giving you my impressions, my first impressions,

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
a visiting geeseer and seeing the sfinks for the first time.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:25,000
I looked at it from afar, I looked at it from very close up, I walked around it,

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I tried to make eye contact with it.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000
And I just couldn't figure out exactly what it was, because I'd heard about the sfinks from my school days,

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I think most of us do, and we are told it is a leonine creature with a head of human probably a pharaoh.

7
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,000
But to me it seemed not like a lion at all, it looked like my dog when she was guarding me while I was gardening,

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
that is kushan on guard with the front feet out, the straight back.

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And in my mind, I had thought I could even see pointed ears,

10
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,000
and I also felt a sense of water that I was in a watery place, or a place that had been watery.

11
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And when I talked to Robert about his first impressions, when we met at the rear end of the sfinks finally,

12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000
he had felt the same, so I'll just hand you over to him now.

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Well, here we have the vision that we all have in our minds of the sfinks,

14
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000
the immemorial statues surrounded by the sands of wild deserted desert in Egypt,

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and this is what it was like in the 19th century, and it's one of my favorite photos,

16
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
which I paid rather than too much for.

17
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And so the first thing I think that we ought to get straight is that the story that we've all been told

18
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
that the nose was shot off the sfinks by Napoleon soldiers is not true.

19
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:13,000
In fact, a 14th century Arab historian called Alma Kreezy, who is very famous to the Arabs,

20
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
although I don't expect many English people speaking people of heard of him,

21
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000
describes what really happened, and Olivia has translated that from the only existing European translation of his Arabic work,

22
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,000
which was in French, and so she's put it into English.

23
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
The Blessed Sheikh Mohammed is same al-Dehair of the Sufi Order,

24
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
from the monastery of El-Sanahe, devised the plan to destroy some of the practices

25
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
contrary to the law of Allah.

26
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000
We have seen this saintly person go to the pyramids, mutilate the figure of the sfinks,

27
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
and dispose of the pieces of it.

28
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
End of the first myth.

29
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So the religious fanaticism is always with us.

30
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,000
A very religion has the 91s, and unfortunately there's been a bit of that adgeza, not just the sfinks,

31
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
but there's been damage inside the great pyramid, where the cofer, it's either King's Chamber,

32
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000
up until the middle of the 19th century, resounded just like a bell when you hit it with a hammer,

33
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000
which was there for all the tourists, and a local got very upset and took not the corner off,

34
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
which destroyed the harmonic resonant features of the cofer so that it doesn't resound like a bell anymore.

35
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,000
And in my next book, Egyptian Dawn, I described some other even more terrible damage

36
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
that's been underground in the Osiris shaft, which has been unbelievably mutilated,

37
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
since, sometimes since 1946. But that's another story.

38
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:12,000
So here we have the spinks as we imagine it, and this is not so easy to see unless you're staying,

39
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
you legitimately have to do a dark in the guise where they try to chase you out,

40
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
but it's a very romantic sight, and it still is.

41
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Now, I've done some, well, we've done some work in Egypt with the permission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities,

42
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:37,000
as they call themselves, and we had a special access to this things temple in front of it,

43
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:46,000
and the valley temple, which is next to the Sfinks temple, and I'm shooting from the top of the roof of the valley temple,

44
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000
hanging over the edge of great peril to life and limb to get this sharp that nobody's ever seen before,

45
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
and what this finks looked like from that angle.

46
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It's very dangerous to let Robert have special access to anywhere, because he's incredibly disobedient and peaky-headed,

47
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
and once he sees something that attracts him like a shaft or a hole or a wobbly door, that's it,

48
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,000
and I'm the one that gets left with the gods, who say it is time to go.

49
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
She's great at keeping them busy with chat while I'm doing forbidden things.

50
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Now, as Olivia said, one of the first things that we wondered about when we very, very saw this finks is very clearly seen here.

51
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000
It's very difficult to get a good view of this thing from a distance to get the proportions,

52
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:52,000
but this shot shows it very well, and you can see that the head is like a pimple on top of this giant statue, the size of an ocean liner,

53
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
and we all know that the Egyptians were very keen on getting everything in correct portion.

54
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,000
So, why would they carve the largest stone statue in the world and get the proportions wrong?

55
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
It's just not what they would do, so we knew something was wrong.

56
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Also, you can see there's not really anything remotely resembling a lion there, but we'll come to that in a moment.

57
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
I want to show you more shots to show you how out of proportion the head is to the body.

58
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:27,000
This is a wonderful aerial shot, and you can see the tiny, we need head, just like a pimple.

59
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I just think of it as a pimple, maybe it's an adolescent.

60
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Here we are again with pimple head.

61
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
It's just not right, they would never have done that, and here we are with people head again.

62
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:54,000
They're trying to make him look more beautiful, but what they call restoration in Egypt is worse than all the Botox of Hollywood combined.

63
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Now, here we have a wonderful shot taken from a balloon by a gal called Marilyn Bridges,

64
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:10,000
and this, I may show this again when we come back, talk about all the water aspects.

65
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
You can see this thing's temple directly in front of these things there.

66
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:29,000
It was not known until in 1936 when it was excavated before that it was covered in a mound of sand, every since 2000 BC, so it's remarkably preserved,

67
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000
well, I mean it's ruined, but preserved ruin, but like myself.

68
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
And the temple on the left is called the valley temple.

69
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Now, the corridor between them is very important as you'll discover as we go along.

70
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Now, this is what it looked like in 1610, and I think this is a very jolly picture.

71
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:07,000
We bought the book that this is in and had it scanned, and we did a lot to try to bring the contrast out to make a decent picture of this old woodcut, which is based on a drawing.

72
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:18,000
And apparently some of the early travellers tell of the Arabs, pirating with their horses on the back of the sfinks, which was just a tiny little ridge in the sand.

73
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And you can see the jolly chaps with what they called harcobuses over their shoulders.

74
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I love the word harcobus. It sounds so much more glamorous than rifle.

75
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And this is what the people saw at the time Napoleon, and as you can see that knows his already gone.

76
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
So, lions, the body of his finks.

77
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:52,000
This is a collection of lions which are excavated from the tomb of King Gir, Gir, who was not a jerk, but he was a jerk of the first dynasty.

78
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Now, these are traditional lion shapes. Do they look anything like the sinks to you?

79
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
I'll let you answer that question to yourselves.

80
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Here's another first dynasty. Well, no, this is a later lion, but it, in fact, this lion was excavated in the precincts of the sinks in what they call as pinks pit.

81
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Probably new kingdom this one.

82
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Now, this is a typical example of the proportion grid used by the ancient Egyptians to do all their statutory.

83
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:33,000
And you can see that they had worked out exactly what a lion was supposed to be like.

84
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:47,000
They used these grids because when you have an old marked out in squares like that, you use a small one to do a big one because you just multiply all the measurements and it all comes out the same.

85
00:09:47,000 --> 00:10:00,000
And here's another first dynasty, I mean, a lion drawn from the, an ivory label found in another first dynasty tomb.

86
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And this is the complete label, and there's the chap sitting in there in his little cubicle, and there he is running, doing the hip set festival, which was a rejuvenation festival to the right at the top,

87
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:22,000
and all kinds of funny things going on. And behind him is his name with the horse, Falcon on top.

88
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Now, here's another, this is another new kingdom lion.

89
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:38,000
So, you see, lions were very conventionally represented in Egypt, and they don't look anything like the sinks.

90
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Now, a great friend of most of yours who lives right here in Glastonbury, and here I can see hiding over there.

91
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Doughed Sutton is the man I want to thank, very hushily indeed, for coming up with this brilliant drawing, which shows what we believe this thing originally was.

92
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:04,000
There's this thing superimposed upon what we believe it was, which was a giant statue of the crouching a nubus, the guard dog,

93
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,000
and he was the traditional guardian of the necropless throughout the whole of Egyptian history for thousands of years.

94
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:25,000
And at the end of the old kingdom, when civilization collapsed for about 150 years, in what they call the first intermediate period, which is a very mild term for a violent time.

95
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Marbs are known to a rampage around Giza smashing everything they could get their hands on, including all the statues of Catherine, for instance, and all the archaeologists agree that this happened.

96
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And so, we've decided to extend this scenario as to what they smashed.

97
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:49,000
It would not just in the valley temple makes door to this thing, but this thing itself would probably have been damaged.

98
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:57,000
It's quite easy to knock the pointy ears and the pointy nose off of an enubus statue if you're really determined to do so.

99
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:07,000
And so we think that they were predecessors to shake my home and who, people have been having to go at the end of that statue for a long time.

100
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:13,000
This is the famous enubus that was found in the Tomb of King Tudonkamoon.

101
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:21,000
And this is his traditional pose, which is, as you will recognize, the pose of this thing.

102
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Here's another new kingdom wall carving from the Temple of the Temple of the Settile, the first of the Abidus.

103
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:41,000
And here, this is a picture I took of, of a carving in Granite at Karnak, which was sitting out in the yard because it was a fragment of something.

104
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And this is King Jerigan, there he is, he's getting around, he's keen on dogs and lions.

105
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,000
This is one of the earliest representations of enubus from the first dynasty.

106
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000
He's got a very long tail, he often did.

107
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:07,000
And in our book, it's explained in detail, out his Passover here that in Priestoric Egypt,

108
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,000
they had these huge enubus shrines, which were in the shape of a enubus.

109
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And where it was a sacred building, and you went in there for whatever rituals they were doing,

110
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000
probably death rituals of some kind or embalming.

111
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,000
And these were large structures, in other words, big dogs.

112
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
So I think that these are the prototypes of what eventually came to be carved in stone.

113
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And these bigger enubuses then became the biggest enubus of all, the Sphinx.

114
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,000
And here is a restored version of an enubus hut scene, because those were old pictures before.

115
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,000
This is a modern reconstruction by Alexander Badawe, to show more clearly what they were like.

116
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
So now this brings us to what the Sphinx looks like today.

117
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:12,000
And I think that we all ought to take note of the fact that it was very severely damaged before.

118
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
And you can see these things on the side are called lapids.

119
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Because the headdress is known as the Nemes headdress, which was a religious headgear made of starch linen apparently.

120
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:35,000
And colored blue and yellow, which was worn only by the Pharaoh, a very specific important religious ceremonies.

121
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And it was to do with the resurrection cult.

122
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And they've been broken off, but in 1926 to 36, they were restored with all this modern concrete, which you can very clearly see here.

123
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,000
And a lot of holes were filled in with modern cement.

124
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
And holes and gashes in the face and all sorts.

125
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000
You can see that it's a very very botoxed Sphinx indeed.

126
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
And it used to have a pink face, rosy face.

127
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Yes, in the new kingdom.

128
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Terraposa color.

129
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,000
They painted the face red.

130
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,000
In fact, it was very garish, because there's a hole in the head, and only a form of Japanning perhaps.

131
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And they stuck a pole down there with banners and things.

132
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:32,000
And it was, I don't think any of us who, like soft, subtle pastoral shades would have been very impressed by this Fingx and the new kingdom period,

133
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
because it was a very garish, seriously over the top idol that had been turned into an idol.

134
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
By that time, of course, it had the human head.

135
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:50,000
And this is a view that people don't normally see looking at it from inside this Fingx temple.

136
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Now, whose face is on this Fingx?

137
00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Do you notice any resemblance?

138
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I believe I have identified the person whose face is on this Fingx.

139
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,000
As the third Pharaoh of the 12th dynasty, which is a period known as the middle kingdom,

140
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
and his name was a menom head a second.

141
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:21,000
In the back of the book, you will find a translation translated with the most immense difficulty from German,

142
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
by a very long-winded archaeologist called Ludwig Borghart.

143
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
And he published this, I think it was 1898, 5 or 8.

144
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
This article called, on the age of the Fingx at Giza.

145
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Now, you need to remember that he did this before the Fingx was properly excavated,

146
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
so he was only talking about the face and head.

147
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:45,000
He did the most brilliant analysis pointing out that all those stripes on the lapets

148
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
and the eye paint stripes on the face and so on.

149
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
And so on, only were things that were found, those particular styles in the middle kingdom period,

150
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,000
not only old kingdom, not in the new kingdom, and in fact only in a certain portion of the middle kingdom.

151
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
And he decided that this proved that as Fingx was of middle kingdom day,

152
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
well then they went next to it and everybody said, you must be joking.

153
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Ludwig Borghart's father and everybody laughed and said,

154
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
oh, it's the stupidest thing he ever published and he never got a result of the disgrace of it.

155
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
But I believe that he was actually correct about the head.

156
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
What nobody's ever thought of amongst the Egyptologists or indeed anyone else,

157
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000
was that you can date the head at a different date than the body because it's not.

158
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
The original head, you see nobody put that together.

159
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Once you realize that it's a recarmed head,

160
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000
the head was recarmed in the middle kingdom.

161
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And it was recarved by a man I'm had the second, this man who looks really just like this finks.

162
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
And wasn't a bad looking guy actually.

163
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
And he had to do something because there was this finks sitting there with it just the stump instead of a head.

164
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
But and so he said, well, we'll put a face on it.

165
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Who's face should there be your majesty?

166
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:14,000
He wasn't shy and this is in the Louvre, this is him in the Louvre.

167
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
He was taken captive by the French.

168
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Still can he help her ransom but the Egyptians hadn't paid up.

169
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:27,000
So here's another view of the finks from the top of the valley temple.

170
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And it shows the cavern when caused way going right up to the pyramid of cavern.

171
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:47,000
And so now I'm going to talk about the water and the business of erosion.

172
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,000
The finks used to look like this.

173
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:59,000
And you can see here and also there if you look at the body closely,

174
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
there appear to be signs of what really looks like water erosion.

175
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
The first person to mention it was Schwalde de Lubitch in 1961, just in passing.

176
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
He pointed out the erosion on the body of the finks.

177
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Look like water erosion.

178
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Nobody paid much attention until John Anthony West followed by Robert Boeval and Graham Hencock began to make big fuss about this.

179
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,000
And they brought in a geologist, Col Robert Schar, who also made big fuss about that.

180
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:34,000
And they were very correct in my opinion to say that there are signs on mistakenly signs of water erosion,

181
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:41,000
not only on this finks but on the walls of these finks pit as well.

182
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
So here we have a nice shot from the top of the great pyramid.

183
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,000
It's double because it's one of those slides that you look at, you know, where you get 3D.

184
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And where's the pointer?

185
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Yeah, stereo view, I don't know, I actually had a work this.

186
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Yeah, this is what things just here.

187
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
You do it because I'm trying to search that on the main.

188
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
So here we are. Where's the finks?

189
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
There's somewhere. There he is.

190
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
That's the finks.

191
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
You see the finks temple is still invisible, but the valley temple is known.

192
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
And there's the finks.

193
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Just a nice view from the top of the great pyramid.

194
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Most people don't normally see that.

195
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,000
And there's a wonderful shot taken by the RAF, which I bought on eBay, blue or not.

196
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,000
And you can see, this is pre 1936 that the finks temple is underneath this great man,

197
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
of Santa and completely unknown.

198
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:46,000
And even though the finks body has been completely excavated in 1926 by Emil Perez,

199
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000
this is between 26 and 36 this photo.

200
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,000
And it was only in 36 when Celine Hausson was excavating further,

201
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,000
that he suddenly discovered this temple was underneath this huge mountain of sand.

202
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:11,000
And here we have a plan showing the two temples and the spinks, as they are now known.

203
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:24,000
And here we have this view again from the air, which shows all the structures clearly from above.

204
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,000
And in fact, if I can have the pointer, these are, it's very important to notice that these are keys.

205
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
It was the nail before, you know, before the Oswan Dam was built.

206
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
There was the annual inundation of the nail.

207
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
And for three months of the year, the water flooded everything.

208
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
I'm sure you all know that.

209
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And then it receded for nine months.

210
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000
And then it left all that silk behind in everybody had great crops and so forth.

211
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Well, in the old kingdom times, it came right up to here in the inundation of the flood.

212
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:04,000
And in fact, in the 17th century, Richard Polkock describes it as being only 660 yards away from there

213
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
at the inundation somewhere down here.

214
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:14,000
And in fact, I worked out that a good sprinter could run from the spinks temple to the Nile in 22 seconds.

215
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000
That was in the 17th century when people were stronger.

216
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Now, this is very important for understanding what I believe is the true explanation for the erosion at this spinks.

217
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,000
We do not believe in what has come to be known as the ancient rain theory.

218
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000
That was a bold and worthy attempt to explain the apparently inexplicable.

219
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:47,000
However, there is a simpler explanation for which there is a considerable degree of evidence.

220
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:56,000
And it avoids the necessity for postulating 7,000 years of total lack of any archaeological artifacts in the ground.

221
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:05,000
In between the ancient rain and when pasteurarch Egypt starts to leave pit and pieces which have been excavated.

222
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,000
So, we have this alternative theory for the indisputable erosion.

223
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Now, here is the wall of this finks pit.

224
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:23,000
And you can see that there are these vertical crevices which apparently show vertical water erosion.

225
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It is very important.

226
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And the water erosion on the spinks itself is only horizontal.

227
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,000
How you get horizontal erosion on the spinks, but vertical erosion on the wall.

228
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
That is an important point.

229
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:45,000
And it is important evidence that indicates that our alternative explanation is more reliable than the ancient rain theory.

230
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
And you can see also the horizontal erosion.

231
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
That is due to the layers of the limestone.

232
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
That is not actually perfectly horizontal.

233
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
It is a bit of a slant because the whole bedrock is at a slant.

234
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:05,000
And so, that is the water eating away at the weak bits, which are the streaks that are horizontal streaks.

235
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
And then the stronger bits are the lumpy bits.

236
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
They are just still sticking out.

237
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
You see, that is the other thing that is wrong with the spinks.

238
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:23,000
And when we first saw it, we thought, if you have carved the largest stone statue in the world, why would you hide it in a hole in the ground?

239
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Would you do that?

240
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,000
You would want to flaunt it.

241
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Wouldn't you say, hey, we have got the largest stone statue in the world.

242
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Come and see.

243
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
And you take your friend along to say the largest stone statue in the world.

244
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
And he says, where is it?

245
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Oh, it is down in that hole in the ground there.

246
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Is that where you would put something besides the emotional honor that you take in a great deal of trouble to carve out of the bedrock?

247
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
No.

248
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000
You would want to have it on a high place, a hill, or at least have it at ground level.

249
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Why isn't the spinks up where all those people are?

250
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Why is it in a pit?

251
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
What is it doing in a hole in the ground?

252
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Well, we figured that went out, we think.

253
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:10,000
So here's Olivia attempting to climb up one of these vertical crevices.

254
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,000
And you can see just how deeply they are, gouged out of the rock.

255
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,000
And she's there not just to look attractive, but also for scale.

256
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,000
And.

257
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Yeah.

258
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Yeah.

259
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Yeah.

260
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
I'm not completely reformed.

261
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000
So here's another view of this finks pit as it's called, but we call it the sfinks mot.

262
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Because we believe that it was filled with water, brought in from the Nile.

263
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Well, it was an indation.

264
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,000
And it was brought in in this corridor just here between the two temples.

265
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
This bit.

266
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000
And we're going to see that much more closely in a moment.

267
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
And it was then shut in by slew's gates.

268
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
And I will show you the evidence of the slew's gates because.

269
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,000
To us start out there, but we had this special permission because we were doing a different archaeological project.

270
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
To do with dating the two temples, which we're still working on all that.

271
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
That's not in this book.

272
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,000
It's in another one to come.

273
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,000
And and so the the water filled that what they call a pit and became the mot.

274
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Now that's very very very important.

275
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
In terms of ancient textual evidence, but here we see.

276
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,000
More what it's what was like in the pit looking down.

277
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,000
And this was what was going on in 1936 with all the attempt to.

278
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:47,000
To tidy this things up to add the bits of concrete to smear cement into all the holes and make it look tidy for tourism.

279
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,000
And we're going to come back to that when we come to talk about all the chambers, the secret chambers.

280
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:02,000
And you can see how fantastically eroded the rear was until they started putting blocks of stone over the top to make it look neat.

281
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And I had a lot of trouble collecting all these photos of the restoration in 36 because they're not easily available.

282
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:20,000
So now here we come to the evidence of the the corridor between the two temples where that I believe that the water was let in to the mot.

283
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,000
And then closed in and sealed in with the slew's gates and kept there for nine months until the next in indation.

284
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:33,000
And the simple water raising machinery to bring it up that slight level was very very easy.

285
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
No problem at all to raise the water slightly and to get it to come in.

286
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Now you can see that I need to explain what this is this is the north wall of the valley temple and here we see the beginning of the of the sphinx temple.

287
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:56,000
So this is the corridor that leads from where the the Nile was which is down at that end into the sphinx.

288
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:14,000
And you can see very clearly that these are now you have to remember that this was covered in sand since 2000 BC until 1936 so nobody tempered with this after 2000 BC.

289
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:31,000
And this is an indentation cut in the stone of the wall of the temple for what I believe was a sliding counterweight as part of the slew's gates and water gates that retained all this water in the mot.

290
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000
And here we have the various traces of boat holes and so on.

291
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:44,000
And I've got a lot more of these pictures you to see more clearly here's this counterweight.

292
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Counterweight slot that I mentioned looked after from another angle and here are traces of boat holes.

293
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Now why would they be there if not for a purpose you know you've got a wall of a sacred temple and you're carving.

294
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
This strange slot in it.

295
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And that's a lot of work and you're also tempering with a sacred precinct.

296
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:20,000
You would only do that for a very good reason and it is on in my opinion certainly a counterweight to do with raising and lowering the slew's gate.

297
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Here we have another shot to see just how deep these boat holes really were and how many of them there were.

298
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
And this is this is the counterweight slot.

299
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Here we this is the sinks mode here and there's the counterweight slot in the boat holes and there are some steps here.

300
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
These are ancient steps.

301
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,000
This is for maintenance and so on and when it was constructed and whatever.

302
00:29:54,000 --> 00:30:03,000
And here we have tourists standing on what's the beginning of the Kevin Causeway going up towards the temple.

303
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Now look at this.

304
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
It's this part here.

305
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Imagine all the water rushing in from from the now coming in to the boat.

306
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:23,000
It's going to strike it with force and you can see that it's created this swirling pattern.

307
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:33,000
From repeated rushing because you know they had it as a mode for a 4,500 years or so and they were doing this at least once a year.

308
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000
And so it is creating a swirling pattern in the bedrock as it comes rushing in and spilling out into the boat.

309
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Here you see it again.

310
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
It's doing that to the rock.

311
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Now that's not rain.

312
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:52,000
That's on rushing water that's coming in striking that and going off to the right swirling off to the right into the boat.

313
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Now this is a little thing called out of the rock.

314
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
The valley temple is up here.

315
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:06,000
You can see some tourists foot there and this is the car.

316
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,000
They're going like this.

317
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:16,000
The swing mode is off here and this very interesting thing is this is a step carved in the rock.

318
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:29,000
And I believe that they had a little boat that came in here and this was an entrance from the causeway down into the mode.

319
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
Here's another view of it.

320
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000
You can see these are modern stones that have just been jammed in there while they put this thing to stop the tourists falling down.

321
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:45,000
But this has been very carefully carved out of the bedrock in this little cubicle which was on certainly.

322
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,000
This is all certainly in my opinion, access to the mode from the temple.

323
00:31:50,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Now this is taken from inside the swing temple which I believe was also flooded periodically and that the swing temple itself was partially underwater during the inundation.

324
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,000
And here you can see what's very clearly to my eye.

325
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Very severe water erosion of one of the columns inside the swing temple itself.

326
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:26,000
And now the wall of the swing temple that's on the swing side, the bottom of it is carved up out of the bedrock, a point which is never mentioned by any of the archaeologists, by the way.

327
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:40,000
And the rest of it, it forms the other barrier. You see the swings mode, there are cliffs on three sides and the front which is the eastern side is this wall.

328
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Half of which is the bedrock which was carved as a wall and then they put stones on top to double the height.

329
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And in that very wall there are remains of a little tiny landing stage for another small boat to go into this mode.

330
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,000
As part of what I believe to have been the religious ceremonies that took place there.

331
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Now here, this is inside this swing temple. I believe that this was what they call it a magazine, there are two of them.

332
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:16,000
And I believe that it's where they stored the boats in the dry period.

333
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:24,000
And that's the explanation here. They were walking around the edge and this is for the bottom of the boat which is deeper than where you have to walk.

334
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:30,000
And this is all solid bedrock here and this is solid bedrock and these are stones laid on top.

335
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,000
And this is the end of the swing temple that's in front of this thing.

336
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:44,000
And here's this aerial view again so that you can appreciate more what I've just been showing you.

337
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:50,000
We were looking just here. The water-eroded column is here. The magazine is here.

338
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:59,000
And just here directly in front of this thing's head is a small landing stage just surviving in the stone wall there.

339
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The bottom of this wall is bedrock so that when they carved the sphinx, they also carved a wall in front of it.

340
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Out of the bedrock, why would they do that? Now you have to bear in mind that if the sphinx was being worshipped as like an idol as it was in the new kingdom onwards,

341
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:25,000
you would have some means of communication between the temple where it would be presumably worshipped and the idol itself.

342
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:32,000
But there is no communication. There is no way to get from this temple to the sphinx.

343
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:40,000
There's no door, there's no window, there's nothing. The only thing is there's a landing stage on top of the wall that looks as if it's going down into a mode.

344
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,000
You see, how can you worship that idol from that temple when you can't get to it?

345
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,000
And you can't get to it from here either except through that little niche I showed you which is here.

346
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Now I believe that this was full of water and that because it was a new bus, that lake is the lake that's mentioned repeatedly in the pyramid texts, which is called Jackel Lake.

347
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:12,000
And it had other names as well, the winding waterway. I believe that they went in a little bit around as part of ceremonies.

348
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Now Egyptologists are always saying these fhinx has never mentioned any ancient texts.

349
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Why is that? You've got this great statue and they never talk about it. What's wrong with them? They say, well it's not what's wrong with Egyptians.

350
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It's what's wrong with the Egyptologists that they should be asking about because the reason it's not mentioned is because it was never a lion with a man's head.

351
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000
And they're looking for a lion with a man's head and that's just not what it was.

352
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:48,000
As you realize that it was a new bus, it's mentioned over and over and over again. They talk about the giant a new bus at Rostau at Giza.

353
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:58,000
They talk about it being twice they mentioned it being beside a causeway. They say it's guarding the gates of the dead. It's guarding the decropolis and it's a new bus on his hill.

354
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,000
And of course the hill is the Giza Plateau.

355
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:12,000
And all the descriptions of a new bus that you find in the pyramid texts perfectly match the idea that this is a new bus or was a new bus.

356
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:24,000
And this is where special ceremonies were held to do with a resurrection cult because when the Pharaoh died and he was being embond which took 70 days.

357
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,000
What they call a slow cook.

358
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The son of the Pharaoh had to carry out special ceremonies where because the first thing you do when you're being embonded, internal organs are removed,

359
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
and put it to four jars.

360
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And the ceremonies that are described in the pyramid texts and the son of the Pharaoh, who's the new Pharaoh, of course, has to wash his father's organs in their jars by submerging them in the sacred jackal lake.

361
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Well this is where he did it. That's what he was doing standing there getting down into a little boat and going around in a ceremony.

362
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:10,000
And he would dip the jars with his father's internal organs into the jackal lake and purify them by washing them in this sacred lake.

363
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,000
As part of the ceremony to enable him to be purified sufficiently to be resurrected.

364
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And because every Pharaoh wanted to be resurrected and become what they call an arc which means a glorified spirit.

365
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:32,000
And so all these ceremonies of purification were taking place here in this lake in the Old Kingdom period.

366
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:45,000
And this is the corridor where the water was let through. This is the front where you can see these keys, well there's more here which were visible in the aerial photo, but have since been covered over by sand again.

367
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:54,000
And this is the corridor and this is the Sphinx mode and here are the front of the pause which have been repeatedly restored.

368
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Even in Roman times they were trying to make them look like lions pause.

369
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:05,000
We've got no idea what the pause looked like originally because they're so totally eroded underneath all the renewal stones.

370
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:13,000
And this is the beginning of the Kevin Causeway. Now, unmarked here on this plan is this little place where you stepped down.

371
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Now, I've translated this the excavation report by Ricky of this temple into English.

372
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:31,000
And similarly, I've translated the excavation report from Germany into English of this other one here, which is much longer and more difficult by Hulshur.

373
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:41,000
And they're discussed in my next book because we've done a lot of work in these two temples and made many, many amazing discoveries about these two structures.

374
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:53,000
But this book is just about this thing. And this is the corridor where the water was laid in. This loose gates were here, you see, to block it in.

375
00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:01,000
And that's where the swirling pattern is found, where the water is hitting that and rushing in.

376
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:09,000
And here are some pictures of the inundation in the old days and how you can see that the water is right up there near the pyramids.

377
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:18,000
This is after it's receded that this is what's left after the inundation in the 19th century, but you can see how close the water was.

378
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:30,000
But it was actually coming right up to the base here of the pyramid, but around here, this dips down and becomes where this thing is. So the water can reach it.

379
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Now, we come to the question of chambers. And everybody wants to know, is there a chamber beneath this finks in better still a secret chamber?

380
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:52,000
In fact, there are several chambers. This is one which anybody who has access to this finks pit can see for himself.

381
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:03,000
But of course, you have to be incredibly difficult person like myself to actually lift the lid when nobody's looking and have a peak.

382
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:09,000
This is between the paws of this finks. There is a chamber down here.

383
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:19,000
And this is a modern iron covering so that the people who pay extra to go in there don't fall down and break their necks and see the Egyptian government.

384
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
A lot of luck there.

385
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:28,000
And this was discovered in 1817 when Kavilya excavated the front of the finks.

386
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:36,000
And very strange things happened because a man called Henry Salt was the British console in Cairo at the time.

387
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,000
He was a bit of an odd ball, but then most of us all who take an interest in these things.

388
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:46,000
I'm sure we're all odd balls. Wouldn't be here today. Which is good. That's good. We like being odd.

389
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Don't we? I always have been since I was born.

390
00:40:50,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And this chamber, which is a small chamber where you can crouch, may have been the one from which the articles were delivered, which are later reported.

391
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:11,000
As having been delivered by the finks in the Greek and Roman times and the new kingdom times and subsequently.

392
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:21,000
But it led somewhere else. There was a passage. If you go down in there is a passage that leads out of it, which was blocked up by Henry Salt in 1817.

393
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000
And a French chap called the Count de Fubre.

394
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:32,000
So, it's a really criticized salt for blocking up not just that, but other passages and openings in and around the finks.

395
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
And we're going to see more of them.

396
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,000
But this is something that anybody can find. But you won't find it mentioned in the books that talk about this finks.

397
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Even though it's right there in front of in plain sight that there's this chamber beneath the floor of the finks,

398
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:56,000
this mug between the poles. And this is where it is. It's in this area here.

399
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,000
And these are some chap having a very nice time.

400
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:05,000
You can, this is the old Roman stones, which are now completely covered over again.

401
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:15,000
The attempt to restore the poles. Now, Olivia is going to read a few descriptions of chambers to do with this finks.

402
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:24,000
And the back of our book consists of every description of the finks ever published since Pliny in the first century AD, the Roman chap.

403
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Up until 1837 when we got to exhausted to go on.

404
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,000
And most of the stuff was not published in English, and I translated the German things.

405
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:40,000
And Olivia translated all the French stuff, which was huge, huge job. And she's going to read a few ex-serves.

406
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Did you say that we found 280 one years of published eyewitness accounts of a burial chamber beneath the finks?

407
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Anyway, this is...

408
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Oh, this is...

409
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Yeah, Christopher Fura from Hemendorf, 1565.

410
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
A large finks, which was used for giving oracles.

411
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:12,000
In front of the pyramids, in the direction of the city of Cairo, stands a very large finks cut out of the rock.

412
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:22,000
So much covered by wind-blown sand on its lower part that only the head, breast, and back protrude.

413
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000
An immensely large creature.

414
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:32,000
It has on its right side in its flank, a quadrangular hole.

415
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:42,000
Through which, as we were informed, in olden days, one could go inside and could ascend into the head.

416
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Inside there, the priest spoke, which the Egyptians took for oracles.

417
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
That's one. And then this is...

418
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:00,000
This is by Johann Helfrey, 1565.

419
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,000
He says, the following day, we left...

420
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Oh, sorry, I wasn't going to read this. Actually, I mean, it's interesting, but it's not about it.

421
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
It isn't about a chamber.

422
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
I'll leave that one.

423
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
This one is the end of it by that fellow.

424
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,000
This image, the statue, is entirely hollow on the inside.

425
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:29,000
And one can enter it underground from a distance by means of a narrow passage made of stone, through which one can pass secretly.

426
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:45,000
By means of this passage, the heathen priests entered the head and spoke to the people, making announcements by the babbling of the head or else the effigy did this by its own means.

427
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Babbling.

428
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Babbling.

429
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Then there's a little one here from St. Nure du Vie amon, 1590, from a voyage on Egypt.

430
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:05,000
It is said that in ancient times it was an oracle that gave responses to the Egyptians for the questions that they asked it at sunrise.

431
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Interesting that they asked it at sunrise.

432
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Then I think that might be it, actually. Let me just see.

433
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:27,000
So this is by Praspa Alpinaus from 1581 to 1584.

434
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:36,000
He says that I believe that it was an ornament placed on his sepica.

435
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:46,000
For in the rear, one finds a subterranean vault, hollowed out of the hard rock, which in all likelihood was a tomb.

436
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
That's in the rear rather than in the head.

437
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000
And that was 1581.

438
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,000
All of these accounts are in the back of the book.

439
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:08,000
And we found 281 years worth of published eyewitness accounts of people who actually saw a burial chamber beneath this finks.

440
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Now I'm not referring to what we call a rumpet tunnel and the thing that the little chamber that's carved out of the bedrock there, which most of you, who know anything about this finks, have heard of,

441
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:25,000
which is just like something scooped that a couple of people could stand in. It's certainly not a burial chamber.

442
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000
And I'll show that to you.

443
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
There's a tap standing on the head.

444
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,000
That's wonderful picture.

445
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
Now I will come back to the thing at the rumpet moment.

446
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,000
This is in the left flank behind the left front shoulder of the finks.

447
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,000
This was blocked up in 1926 by Emil Barais.

448
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:57,000
It was a doorway and there's a chamber in there, just here in the finks, which goes down below the ground level.

449
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,000
And here's a lovia standing there for scale.

450
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:09,000
Those are old blocks which Barais in 1926 when he excavated the thing, took and filled in and used cement to cement into place.

451
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,000
And it was a whole because he thought it was unesthetic.

452
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:21,000
But of course, it was one of the many ways inside this finks, which could easily unblock if anybody had the will to do so.

453
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Now here is the what we call a rumpet tunnel.

454
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,000
This is the, the sfinks is bum.

455
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:32,000
And this is looking down from above.

456
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
This is getting a lot closer.

457
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,000
The water in iron bar for support.

458
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:46,000
And those stones at the top are modern limestone pieces that have been stuck there over the eroded bits to try and make it look pretty.

459
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000
And below is the bedrock.

460
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,000
And this is me being very nosy.

461
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
What you want me to speak?

462
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
What more can one say?

463
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,000
I nearly left you there forever.

464
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:06,000
You might have been found a little vertebrate thing in a thousand years time.

465
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,000
But in fact, we weren't supposed to be going down that aperture.

466
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:15,000
And it was extremely nerve-racking because there were gods circling round.

467
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:20,000
And I'm seriously worried Robert might be shot in the bum.

468
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Well, so I did survive.

469
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,000
And I like to say this is the picture of me with my head sticking out of this finks as ass.

470
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Do you see what a small space it is to squeeze through there?

471
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Um, a certain type of American could not get in there.

472
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Now this is what it looks like inside.

473
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
You can see all the rubbish is blown in.

474
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:58,000
And this is the, um, this is the bottom of a modern metal ladder that they've jammed in there.

475
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
And this is that metal strut that you saw.

476
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
And you're looking straight down.

477
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,000
This is the bedrock.

478
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
And this has been carved out of the bedrock.

479
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Basically scooped out of the bedrock.

480
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Not with any great skill at some later date.

481
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000
This is not original with its finks.

482
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,000
And there's a space down here full of rubbish where two people could stand side by side.

483
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,000
And I believe it's where people slept overnight to get a sacred dream.

484
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,000
And during the Greek and Roman period, it was used for what they call incubation.

485
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:34,000
You sleep there overnight and they believe the goddess ISIS came to heal them or give them some inspiration.

486
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Now if you look up, and this is never mentioned by anyone, above that is another tunnel.

487
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:52,000
And it goes up and turns left and goes along inside this finks under the right room.

488
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Up above and it's only one stone thick to the outside.

489
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Now I tried to climb along in there and then these wooden strut started to collapse and they're obviously holding this finks up.

490
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:16,000
I sometimes feel that I need to be held up myself, but not to that extent.

491
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,000
What were they doing?

492
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:24,000
They must have been, somebody must have been looking at what was in there or they wouldn't have had the struts there.

493
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,000
It's when they restored it in the late 70s.

494
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
They realized that they didn't put struts in there.

495
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
The whole thing was going to fall in.

496
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:38,000
I'm sorry to have to say this, but I didn't wish to die for science on that particular day.

497
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:44,000
So I didn't go along the tunnel, but I do know that it stops when it reaches the hips.

498
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:50,000
And at that point it's filled with cement by the inevitable breads in 1926.

499
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Now here is where the tunnel goes.

500
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,000
This is the room where the scoop is.

501
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:01,000
And that rising tunnel comes and goes around here and ends here.

502
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:08,000
This blob is modern concrete and cement, but there in 1926 by breads.

503
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Now look at this crack in the bedrock here.

504
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:21,000
This is very important because the accounts that we found of the burial chamber, which is not the same as this at all,

505
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,000
described precisely where it was because the various people, the eyewitnesses,

506
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:34,000
measured it, they measured there was a rectangular opening here with a vertical shaft that went straight down at this point.

507
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:39,000
And they measured its distance from the head and they measured its distance from the room.

508
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,000
And we know exactly where it was and it was here.

509
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:53,000
This blob in 1926 of concrete filled the vertical shaft that leads to the burial chamber, which is directly below here.

510
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:02,000
And the descriptions which were all given in the book were to where it described it and it had been robbed in antiquity.

511
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:09,000
There were the remains of a coffin in there and the walls had a vertical thick inscriptions on them.

512
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
So if you could get back in there we could read what the Harigliffe said.

513
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
We'd know what was going on.

514
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Now my theory about it is that it was a later intruded burial.

515
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:24,000
I don't know when, but long after the old kingdom period, but it would have had to be a royal burial.

516
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:29,000
And it may be the king of Marsus who Pliny says was buried beneath his finks,

517
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,000
who was a 26th dynasty, side king.

518
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,000
And they were obsessed with Giza in those days.

519
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,000
So it may be his tomb.

520
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:44,000
And although well never be able to get all that concrete out without destroying one of Egypt's major tourist attractions,

521
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:51,000
we could get out the place by going down here or down here and in from the ground.

522
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:59,000
And you can see that this crack came about in the bedrock with a force of driving down that shaft

523
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
and creating the chamber.

524
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,000
I believe there are actually two chambers there.

525
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:10,000
This burial area shattered the bedrock with a force of its intrusion and construction.

526
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:17,000
So this is the true secret chamber beneath his finks, the burial chamber that everybody's always been looking for.

527
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:25,000
It's been known all along 281 years worth of published eyewitness accounts, which nobody had noticed,

528
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:31,000
which I had to go dig out of the libraries because everybody else is just too lazy.

529
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Now the intruded shaft eventually caused a weakness to develop in this finks.

530
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,000
And this room actually fragmented here.

531
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:49,000
We believe this happened after a chap called Murad Bay had a go at reconstructing and excavating,

532
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,000
which was just before Napoleon's troops arrived.

533
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,000
They also had a go.

534
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:02,000
And so we believe it was at the time about 1750 to 1800 that this split off.

535
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:07,000
And that's where that was weakened because that's where the shaft was driven down.

536
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
To this burial chamber.

537
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,000
But there's no trace of that crack now.

538
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
And this has been filled up with modern cement as well.

539
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,000
This week's spot.

540
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:21,000
And you can see how those concrete bits were not there at that time on the lapids.

541
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
And this split bit here.

542
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,000
That's exactly where the shaft is.

543
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Now here is where you know Olivia read that account by the chap in 1565 saying that there was a whole beneath

544
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,000
in the right flank into which you could enter the sphinx.

545
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:43,000
And I've already showed you the photos of where the hole is on the left flank where you could get in.

546
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,000
And this box here has been constructed.

547
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:53,000
Someone that known day in front of the entrance beside the here that's under the right shoulder.

548
00:54:53,000 --> 00:55:02,000
So you see that the sphinx is simply rippled with chambers and tunnels inside and beneath.

549
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,000
And here's a closer view of that thing.

550
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
Nobody ever pays any attention to it.

551
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,000
What was it?

552
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Why is it that nobody ever asks these questions?

553
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000
There it is again.

554
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Now we do know that there was once meant to be a very tall statue beside this fhinx of Osiris.

555
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000
And he may this may have been its base.

556
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Who knows?

557
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,000
What's really going on?

558
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
But it's blocking up an entrance here to yet another chamber inside this fence.

559
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Here's another one.

560
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,000
There are four of these lumps on this fhinx.

561
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:45,000
And this is also on the right side of the sphinx, the south side, a smaller one that we've just seen.

562
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
What is this all about?

563
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
And there's two on the other side.

564
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
There's four of these.

565
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Are they blocking what used to be entrances used for people to crawl around on the inside of the statue?

566
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,000
You know how old the blocks are, some of them are obviously mudden.

567
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,000
But what about those curved ones?

568
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Well, the modern ones are clearly at the top.

569
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
And that's obviously modern as well.

570
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,000
But these are very old stones certainly.

571
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,000
But they're not very finished.

572
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
And this is a bit of a botched job.

573
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
This is not original.

574
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,000
And this would have been maybe done by the Greeks or the Romans.

575
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000
The Romans used smaller blocks, didn't they?

576
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:34,000
Yes, the Romans used those tiny blocks that we saw on this fhinx's paws with all those taps standing around.

577
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Now, this is just one photo I've taken beneath the geese plateau to show you the inside of the Osiris shaft, bottom chamber,

578
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:50,000
which is an island, which was the simulation of the tomb of Osiris.

579
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,000
And this is the canal.

580
00:56:53,000 --> 00:57:00,000
This has got some on top of it, a sort of strange limestone scum, but it's perfectly clear water underneath.

581
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,000
And it's a rectangular island here.

582
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,000
And this water goes all around it.

583
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
And this is a granite sarcophagus in the middle.

584
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,000
And this is the bottom of the Osiris shaft.

585
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:19,000
And I'm just showing you that to show you some that there was another island at Guisa.

586
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Those of you who have read your horologist know that he mentioned an underground island.

587
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,000
And this is an underground island.

588
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:31,000
And this is a kind of subterranean version of the Jackal Lake, you might say,

589
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:36,000
but instead of having an obus in the middle, it's got the tomb of Osiris in the middle.

590
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000
It's not as above-serve-loved.

591
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
The reflection.

592
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
Very much so, absolutely.

593
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:47,000
And those of you who are really keen on these things will know that there's a bigger version of this at a by-doss

594
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
at the Osiris in the Temple of City the First.

595
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:56,000
And I describe much more about the Osiris shaft in the both-coming book called Egyptian Dawn.

596
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Now this is another one of the great artistic productions of Dowd Sutton, your local Geometer.

597
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:08,000
And this is the three pyramids of Guisa and the Spinks.

598
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,000
This is the great pyramid.

599
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
That's the pyramid of Caffron.

600
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,000
And this is the little pyramid of Macarena.

601
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:18,000
And this is the Spinks and the Valley Temple.

602
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,000
And this is the Caffron causeway along here.

603
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,000
And what I was able to discover, this is very important.

604
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:35,000
The final two chapters of the Spinks, Mr. All about the geometry and the symbolism of Resurrection and the Golden Angle,

605
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:42,000
which is to do with the Golden Section, which was something that the Egyptians were obsessed by.

606
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:50,000
And all of these key points, here's the apex of each of the pyramids.

607
00:58:50,000 --> 00:59:00,000
And here are these key points and these central points of the sides of the base here.

608
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:09,000
They have what I call Res Shooting Out, that is Sighting lines, which are all at the Golden Angle.

609
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:18,000
So this is a Golden Angle, that's a Golden Angle, that's a Golden Angle, that's a Golden Angle.

610
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,000
That's a Golden Angle, that's a Golden Angle.

611
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,000
These are all Golden Angles, that's a Golden Angle, that's a Golden Angle.

612
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:32,000
It goes on and on and on, it gets very boring in the end and they were clearly obsessive compulsive when it came to Golden Angles.

613
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:43,000
The point of all of this is not just that these pyramids are all related to each other by all these angles from all the key points of all these rays shooting between the key points,

614
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:48,000
which has never been discovered before, but that so is the Spinks.

615
00:59:48,000 --> 01:00:00:01,000
The Spinks is rigidly positioned here, it's midpoint and it's left front and it's right rear, are on rays shooting from these key points of the Great Pyramid.

616
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:11,000
And a joined by rays from the midpoint is joined to that point and a ray to that point.

617
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:21,000
So there and there and that makes a Golden Angle in itself with this East West line and then they join in the midpoint.

618
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:27,000
And these Finks is positioned in size, are rigidly fixed by Golden Angles.

619
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:40,000
And what this proves is that the three main pyramids in this Finks constitute a unitary design concept that they were all designed and presumably constructed at the same time.

620
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:54,000
And therefore this means that the so-called King's Tomb Theory doesn't stand up because the way the Egyptologist like to say it is a key ops decided he wanted a big tomb for himself.

621
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,000
So I built the Great Pyramid.

622
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:06,000
The Great Pyramid was running out of rock or something and he built a slightly smaller tomb for himself, but there was a ferro in between which people don't normally mention.

623
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:11,000
And then there was another ferro in between and then the long-comes, macarina, sort of, main cowry.

624
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:17,000
And he's really ran out of steam so he builds this tiny little one here for his tomb.

625
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:25,000
And this happened progressively over a period of time, almost by whimsy and there was no connection between these things.

626
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:32,000
But that's just can't be true because if you analyze it by Golden Angles you find this unicary concept.

627
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Now what it means is another matter to be taken up at some point.

628
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:45,000
And I am just trying to establish that there is a pattern. Why there's a pattern? That's another matter.

629
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:54,000
But it's unquestionably something to do with a resurrection curve because with other things which I can't take time to show you, but what you're in the book.

630
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:01,000
We know that the Golden Angles was the angle of resurrection and there's two long chapters explaining all of that with lots of pictures.

631
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Now if you want to see the pictures in color because the book is published in entirely in C.P.A. which is fine for the archive photos, the full color are on the website, which is SphinxMistery.info, which will come up here in a second.

632
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:30,000
You should all go to it's free. It meant to supplement the book. It will appear here in a momentarily by magic.

633
01:02:30,000 --> 01:03:00,000
You can see that my wand did that. SphinxMistery.info and all the modern photos are there in full color for two-filjure computers screen so that you're not stuck only with a C.P.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A.A

636
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:07,320
That happens to the damned and all the people you don't like.

637
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,760
So that's the end of our talk.

638
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,960
And I don't know how much time we have.

639
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,840
If there are any questions, do we have any questions?

640
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,040
We're allowed two questions and there's one over there.

641
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,640
On the question that we can do, one further,

642
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,040
where you can't just watch it.

643
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:34,040
I'm really like the idea of a moted thinks.

644
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:38,040
I'm just a bit curious about the question of water levels.

645
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:43,400
Firstly, wouldn't the water flooded any chainbism passages

646
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,480
underneath the structure?

647
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:51,160
And secondly, you were suggesting that water erosion

648
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,520
had occurred quite high up on the body.

649
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,880
Wouldn't it if the water was that high?

650
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,800
And to me, that would only make sense,

651
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,680
you know, in a period of decay or something,

652
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,840
when it was over flooded or whatever.

653
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,200
If the water was anything like that high,

654
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,400
it would completely cover all the pores

655
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,560
and sort of destroy the proportions of the statue.

656
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,080
The moted makes perfect sense,

657
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:20,000
but only with perhaps three or four feet of water in it,

658
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,560
literally just enough to float the boat and set the statue off.

659
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:28,040
A higher water level, as I say, to create erosion as a higher level.

660
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:29,440
That doesn't make any sense to me.

661
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,240
I'd say, very, very glad you reminded me that I forgot

662
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,720
to tell you one of the most crucial things I'm in to say,

663
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,840
which was why is there the vertical erosion on the sides?

664
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,160
The thing is that the wind blowing sand is coming in the whole time,

665
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:43,520
and threatening to fill the motes.

666
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,640
So they have to dredge it the whole time.

667
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,280
And as you know, when you dredge things get the sand out,

668
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,000
the whole water pours down with great force.

669
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,720
And that's what would have scoured out the vertical crevices.

670
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,840
I forgot to mention that, that's K.

671
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,000
So you get horizontal erosion on this thing

672
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,720
because the water level is rising and falling,

673
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,040
but you get the vertical erosion

674
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,240
because they're constantly having to dredge this mot.

675
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,880
And all this water is just pouring down the pouring down

676
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,840
and scouring out these vertical fishers.

677
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:18,680
It was a horizontal point, but a vertical line with the poles.

678
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,080
Yes, yes, the poles would have been covered.

679
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,960
Well, the vertical space was very fat

680
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,240
and the above right on it's ground to really be piled up.

681
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:31,080
And that's surely come to the end because it's the better.

682
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:36,440
Well, the horizontal level would have varied,

683
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:40,000
which is why we find different strategies posed.

684
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,360
I don't know how high would have gone,

685
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,080
but does this work?

686
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:44,760
It knows.

687
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:45,760
Does it?

688
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:46,640
It does.

689
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,640
I don't know how high would have gone.

690
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,560
It would have certainly varied because some years

691
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,480
you had high and in addition in some years you had low.

692
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,680
And it would have changed.

693
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,760
How high would have gone, I don't know,

694
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,680
but not all of the erosion of the ramp would have been caused

695
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:02,520
by water.

696
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:03,520
Right, fine.

697
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,760
Because the prevailing wind is coming from that direction.

698
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,400
So it's high enough to be exposed to the wind

699
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,320
where down below wasn't.

700
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,400
So you're happy that that particular erosion

701
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:14,880
could be wind erosion in the grass.

702
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:15,880
Yes, yes.

703
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:16,720
Water.

704
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:17,560
Yes.

705
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,840
Indication that that was water erosion.

706
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,000
I don't think it would have been up to the neck.

707
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:22,680
Exactly.

708
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,160
I mean, to me, the poles must have been visible,

709
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,160
except at extra time of flooding.

710
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,560
It had to be deep enough for it to be a genuine mode

711
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,000
and for you to get around it in a boat.

712
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,040
Everybody knows everything they want to know?

713
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:43,320
A question back here.

714
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,800
In a photo in the earlier part of the presentation,

715
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,120
I think I saw the word boat next to one of the pyramids.

716
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,080
Was there a boat, very next to a pyramid?

717
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,600
And if so, was that possibly the one that was in the boat?

718
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:55,680
Yes, there is a boat.

719
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,640
In fact, just to the right of the swings

720
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,280
is head, you can see a white object at the base

721
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,080
of the southern base of the Great Pyramid,

722
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,960
which is a museum, which contains what they call

723
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:07,880
the boat beneath the pyramid, which was activated

724
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,320
in this made of wood and it's very amazing.

725
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,400
But that was far too enormous to fit in here.

726
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,520
They would have had very small ceremonial boats

727
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:17,760
for this mode.

728
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:22,840
But there were boats buried beside pyramids

729
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,800
from the first dynasty onwards.

730
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,920
And there are several, there's another one that's known to be up there

731
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,320
that they've never excavated because as soon as they

732
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,800
clear it, the wood begins to rot and everything.

733
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:38,800
So these boats were symbolic of celestial journeys

734
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,040
across the sky.

735
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:46,880
And as if the sky were a sea, a celestial sea.

736
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,880
I mean, it didn't think it was literally a sea.

737
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:53,280
But they were symbolic of the celestial journey of the soul.

738
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:57,800
And the sun himself traveled in such a solar bark

739
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,240
according to the mythology.

740
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,240
I just want to ask a few aware of the work

741
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:13,120
of Dr. Paul Availet who uses the spinks to decode what he says

742
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:18,200
is at least a 16,000 year anti-cryptographic key

743
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:24,240
that codes for knowledge about why the zodiac was put down.

744
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:29,760
And if you're aware of his work, whether or not

745
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,000
there's something within the spinks that

746
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:38,000
has something that relates to the zodiac, but simply.

747
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,520
I don't know the man you're referring to or his work,

748
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:41,960
I'm afraid to say.

749
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,240
But I will say something about the zodiac.

750
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,880
The zodiac, as we now know it, only came into Egypt

751
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:52,240
in the Greek period, what's known as the Hellenistic period

752
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:54,400
after the death of Alexander the Great,

753
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,560
when the tollum is with the Pharaohs.

754
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:00,640
There was no zodiac as such before that in Egypt,

755
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:04,040
and I've studied ancient Egyptian astronomy a great deal,

756
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:07,520
they had other things, but not the zodiac.

757
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,480
And so when people talk about, for instance,

758
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:14,240
the sign of Leo and then whatever that this thing

759
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:15,640
was meant to be looking at.

760
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,880
And so on, there was no sign of Leo.

761
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,960
The twelfth signs of the zodiac simply did not exist

762
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:26,800
in Egypt before the third century BC.

763
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,520
There was no zodiac.

764
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:32,720
So anybody who tries to extrapolate the Babylonian zodiac

765
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:38,200
in Egypt back earlier is wrong.

766
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,720
They're just wrong.

767
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:42,120
Just one more question.

768
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,200
What about the chambers?

769
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,440
How are they able to be accessed?

770
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:55,200
It was full of water, the moat.

771
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:55,880
That's a good question.

772
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:56,920
Yes, that's a good question.

773
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,800
And the first chap was asking, would the things be flooded?

774
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:00,880
Very important.

775
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:05,360
Well, the one at the back, I'm sure, was done later,

776
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,200
because it ceased to be a moat at the end of the old kingdom.

777
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,600
And it never was a moat again.

778
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,400
You see, that's the idea.

779
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:15,520
And the intruded shaft would also be later than the old kingdom.

780
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:20,720
So those things would have come later when the water was all gone.

781
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:25,680
It's quite possible that all of those chambers were old kingdom.

782
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,280
And none of them existed originally.

783
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,440
That they were all knocked out by later people.

784
01:11:32,440 --> 01:11:37,480
It middle kingdom, new kingdom, telemarch.

785
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:41,040
And that none of those are really original.

786
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:46,080
Now that's not to say that there are not original chambers

787
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:51,120
further down, as I believe that there are in this area,

788
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:54,040
that the ones I've discussed, I believe,

789
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,880
are probably all later than the original's things.

790
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:00,760
And would have been flooded if they'd been there at the time of the moat.

791
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:04,800
Now, the water levels at Giza are very strange,

792
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,800
for instance, much higher up, halfway up,

793
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:10,160
about Keffron Causeway.

794
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,000
If you go down 150 feet, you come to where I took that picture

795
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,560
of their moat.

796
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:21,560
Now, there's no water at all in the room, tunnel hollow out.

797
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:23,720
It's completely dry.

798
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,560
And yet, there is water at higher levels near the sphinx,

799
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:29,720
but there's no water at that lower level.

800
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,480
And yet, and then you've got water at a higher level,

801
01:12:32,480 --> 01:12:33,880
higher up the plateau.

802
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,680
You see the limestone plateau is full of caves.

803
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,920
And they're unpredictable.

804
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,400
So you get water that's high, you get water that's low,

805
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,360
all over the place, uneven.

806
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:52,360
And I believe the Egyptians were able to know about this.

807
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:56,520
How did they get that one I showed you the picture of

808
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,440
to the exactly the right point where that water was fed

809
01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:00,840
by some underground spring?

810
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,000
How did they know it was there?

811
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:07,840
There must be an adjoining chamber or tunnel,

812
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,400
so that they first discovered the spring,

813
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:11,920
they knew its level.

814
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:16,400
And then they dug the Osiris shaft down to that level,

815
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,280
knowing in advance that the spring was there,

816
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,640
which would flood and fill the canal,

817
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,480
which were carving out of the bedrock,

818
01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:28,200
and then were there letting the water in to flood it.

819
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,280
They didn't dig this 150 foot shaft

820
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,600
and by accident discover the water was there.

821
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,280
They knew it was going to be there.

822
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:36,680
Yeah, obviously, how did Dasa?

823
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:41,360
I think we want to stop.

824
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:43,440
Woo.

825
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:45,440
