Enjoyed every second, except when Hawas was speaking

A few months ago I watched the one where they drill a hole though the stone and to be honest I was very disappointed. They drilled a hole though the first stone just to be faced with a second stone but instead of going and getting a longer drill bit and going through the second stone they just quit and then Zahi Hawass went on TV and made out they had found something wonderful when in actual fact they were no the wiser than at the start of the project. I can’t believe after all these years no one has gone back with a longer drill bit to go though the second stone. There again I shouldn’t be surprised really as it took them 10 plus years just to put a camera behind the chevron door on the pyramid of Khufu and they didnt even need to drill a hole for that. If you ask me Zahi Hawass is just holding the archaeology up because he doesn’t want any of his own theories to be proved wrong. The sooner they get rid of him the sooner the Pyramids can be properly investigated.

I am quite sure (and I believe most of the researchers are) that there is absolutely nothing behind the "second door". It's not a door, it's a plug. When the builders realized they do not need the shafts anymore (whatever was the purpose is, airshaft or communication shaft) they simply closed it down to avoid dust, dirt, animals, etc... to get into it. Hence it makes very little sense to start digging, most probably they'd find nothing but core masonry.

Lets be honest, we need lidar and HD video of the shafts now. Could probably put everything in the space of 4 hotwheels. We know exactly what to engineer for now too. Maybe get a few rock samples where the rock is erroding for possible conservation. Get Viable images of the 'worker's marks'. Double check Sibsom's window, artifacts in the tunnels. We have the tech.

I mean we already know that the space behind those blocking stones is extremely small and that they are likely airshafts as well that simply didnt get finished which is why they were still sealed in the queens chamber as well. There are new exiting things like the big void and so on which are way more interesting.

Hawass looks a lot younger there.. The conductivity test is brilliant..! Remember the Pyramid is all about resonance right..? So the door is a valve to open and close to achieve a tone or note from echoing the chamber above. Like a harmonic system of control. There would be others I’m guessing to enable harmonically a distortion and orgonic like power. Perhaps a static charge in an accumulator (kings chamber) perhaps a kinetic sound resonant accumulator of resonance that would pulse out power..? Very interesting.! Thanks again Matt it’s mind boggling to see this. Regards Geoff

I remember vividly watching this doc while studying film at SIUC in Carbondale, IL around 1995 or 1996 and being absolutely glued to the tv. I remember some jokers comparing the climax to Geraldo's "Copone's vault." Nonsense. I'm sure it was a huge letdown to hit that wall (pun intended) but those two copper locks/stops made it even more fascinating. There HAD to be a lot more behind that block if the makers didn't want that block lifted.

I love the video, thanks , I saw a video somewhere recently where they did it carbon dating on wood from that shaft and it was 400 years older than they expected

Proof of the mysterious void - At time mark 9:44, the 3D computer model clearly shows that the King's chamber air shaft, that is on the side of the Grand gallery, has a huge dog-leg (bend) in its path as soon as it exits the King's chamber. Then it proceeds straight. The view of the 3D model at time mark 9:44 makes it look like the air shaft is avoiding a huge something. Possibly that something could be the mysterious void above the grand gallery that was found by the muon scan!

2 years to build and today a skilled hobbiest can get it built and programmed in a weekend

Is there a slight bend to the right at 48m18 and just before we see the elevated block? We can also see a camera shot to the right that shows the wall slightly changing angle, or am I mistaking. Could it be that: On both sides before the next bottom elevated block, the sides were shaved. Was it to allow the lower floor block to come in a bit diagonally below a upper block already in place?

Thanks for posting this. That tech involved now looks as old as the pyramid 😀. I hope the shafts are visited again with better cameras and scanning.

An observation only: Why is it called a door? That would seem to indicate that it can be opened & closed at will... I have always thought of it as a plug, similar to the much larger portcullis stone blocks that blocked other passages. I feel that they probably plugged those small passages to keep out dust, sand, insects, bats & other animals that inevitably take up residence in structures. It's really not a door.

I remember watching this live.

Question: have the shafts in the King's Chamber been explored by camera? Or it is assumed that the shafts are uniform, with no branches, until they exit the pyramid? Thanks.

What a great documentary and I haven't seen it before. I wonder why Gantenbink always declines to talk about it himself ?. Anyway, thanks for that Matt.

Thanks

My theory on the shafts is they are water channels. As the pyramid blocks are stacked higher and higher it allows for water to easily be delivered to the inner chambers, without having to haul water up to and through to the grand gallery. Not just for drinking water, but for lubricant for what I imagine would be polishing (lapping) the stone surfaces in the chambers. If polishing the Queens chamber was finished prior to reaching the outer face, they wouldn’t need completion to the exterior. Why they were sealed with a relatively intricate locking capstone, and not just stacked over, I can’t really explain. Maybe so debris falling in was less likely. The Kings chamber follows this logic, but might have required more time to complete the polishing as there is less space for workers to place stones as the top‘s surface area decreases as they built up, so the shafts reached the exterior surface.

@AveragePicker

4 ай бұрын

I thought you were about to go with that nonsense water pump idea but thankfully didn't. That is kind of an interesting idea but is hauling the water up that much higher, dumping it in, losing some to seepage really saving that much effort as opposed to just running whatever supplies in through the halls....?

@nathanwish6857

4 ай бұрын

@@AveragePicker I’m not sure. But I’d figure they’d need a near constant supply of water at the top for making mortar so water would be at the topmost level anyway. The shafts certainly would double as ventilation. The bends and flats at the lower levels would slow the flow so it doesn’t just explode into the chambers.

this is a very nice video, but what about the follow up research? Has it been done, will it be done? So many questions left..
