Given the complexity of the investigation and the time needed to document and transfer this into an attractive video, I'd say "wrong" is not exactly right. Ancient Egypt shows us what patience really means: hundreds of years to build a pyramid. Today's society is rather built on speed and anxiety, nothing goes fast enough to satisfy us. History for Granite not only show us the history of things made of stone but much more what we can achieve with patience and perseverance. It's not getting to the top of the mountain, it's the path to it that makes it worthwhile.

the fact that there's a support beam for the support beams just shows us how they knew exactly how to build massive mega structures that could handle a whole lot of weight and had at least an in depth knowledge in physics

Love the video. The idea that the chamber was filled with sand to support construction of the ceiling is by far the best explanation I've heard for why the shafts were left sealed during construction. I am slightly skeptical though that they built a whole masonry platform in the center and removed it, and also filled the perimeter around it with sand. It seems like you'd be able to build the ceiling with less work using a wooden platform/scaffold. Maybe I'm not fully understanding what you're proposing.

I think they could have filled the whole QC with sand, but filling the center with bricks would be quicker and easier.

Yes, you could build the ceiling on wooden scaffolding, as medieval cathedrals show. But that only works if the ceiling doesn't weigh 30 imperial tons - per ceiling stone.

And if in one case wooden scaffolding was enough, and in the other case we only have direct evidence for the temporary masonry "scaffolding" in the center of the queen's chamber, then why would they also need sand? Then again, the relieving chamber above the King's chamber was only built after they had practice with the queen's chamber ceiling, so maybe the technique evolved.

Some questions came to my mind as I was listening to this: You said the nearest source of similar quartz sand is El Tor. Is there anything else from the period that would also have been imported from that location? It seems odd to me that they would be shipping loads of only sand, given the difficulty and expense of shipping at the time. But if they were also importing something like a spice, or frankincense, or a precious stone, then it totally makes sense for those ships to carry the quartz sand as ballast, that can also be sold when reaching port, and replaced with other ballast for the trip back. And if the sand was being used over and over again for moving stones, would that have a physical effect on the quartz grains? I guess a sand-ologist would be needed to look into whether there was some evidence of that extra wear and tear on the pyramid sand fill.

@HistoryforGRANITE

I would love for more studies on the sand. I believe a lot of the copper came from the Sinai peninsula, so the trade route was well established. The benefit of rounded quartz grains is that they resist compression and abrasion the best - so presumably the sand would hold up very well. Over time you'd expect the sand to become less pure as local sand gets mixed in, so the passage sand probably wasn't used repeatedly for a long time.

From all your absolutely marvelous videos I have to say I find that one the least convincing. Not the idea that special sand was used during construction. But the idea that is was used as filler material so far below the "working level" of the chamber roof. Going back the chain of logic the other way, the sand found during the drilling was very likely NOT used during the construction of the queens chamber. (But likely during an other construction phase.) The entire passageway to the Queen's Chamber is well below the stone course where the chevron stones end. Therefore, it would have taken an enormous effort to raise the chamber walls and all the supporting stone work ONE METRE above the level of the later passageway before the other stone courses were finished. Connecting the sand found during the drilling with the roof of the queens chamber ist just far too much conjecture for my tasting.

Far too much work and organisation to keep holes in the middle of your pyramid just to get rid of a bit of sand. The sand was either deposited while working on the stone courses below the queens chamber ( hidden structure? ;) ) or it had an entirely different propose than lowering the friction coefficient. Also your hypothesis that _special_ sand was used to fill a temporary gap as support material is not that convincing. Coarse sand can be easily compacted with a little water and turns into an exceptionally hard surface. And it can easily be excavated again. With bare hands if need be. The stones with the aligned joints combined with the special sand under them seem to be more connected to me. Maybe an experimental construction method.

If the rough fill of the core masonry had large gaps, excess filler sand could easy flow down a short distance from the bottom of the chevrons to slightly below the QC passage. You can’t actually know how sand will compact under pressure without testing it, even today in the 21st century. But the rounded quartz sand would be far superior under stress. Add the 1/2 reduction in friction and you’ve got an ideal material for the purpose of getting the ceiling into place. Could it have been done another way? Of course. The point is that it connects all the physical evidence together in a coherent way.

But as you also said about the old Egyptians: They had all the experience with sand. Hauling in large quantities of special sand just as a temporary filler makes little sense when a bit of compacting would work with local sand, too. My gut feeling tells me this special sand was used for its friction properties. Either for hauling large blocks on sleds or for something more mechanical. _"The point is that it connects all the physical evidence together in a coherent way."_ To me this is not coherent. Why use expensive material as a temporary filler when less expensive material works just as fine with a tiny bit more preparation? Why would you leave large voids in your structure just to get rid off a tiny percentage of your total special sand used? Why are there large voids completely filled with special sand about five courses under the layer where it was most likely used? I really think you should tackle the "sand in void" problem from a totally different direction. Not from the chevrons, but from the passage and its peculiar gap arrangement.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your replies. Considering the enormous amount of material brought to Giza from all over: timber from Lebanon, copper from Sinai, granite from Aswan, Turah from across the Nile - I don't see ~60 cubic meters of sand to be a 'huge haul'. When setting a 40t beam inclined, even a little bit of slippage would be tough to remedy. Better to just use the best stuff in my opinion. I've had all manner of ideas about low density behind the QC passage, but that sort of speculation isn't grounded in the evidence at hand. I'd love for there to be some exotic hidden passage abandoned after construction etc - but I can't find any reason for such things to actually be necessary for the pyramid. The chevrons were new technology, and this is where I see exceptions being made by the builders.

Telling someone to work on their phrasing, but you don’t even quote them right, that’s top tier research.

Thank you for sharing your keen analysis! Great work!

One of the most considered and informative channels on KZread

Yes, sand can be used as a "Lubricant" to move stones...and sand comes in many configuraions aka. forms, and can do different stuff. i told you so several video ago

Thanks for telling us sand could be used as lubricant. We knew.

Excellent granular analysis, very fine work.

Simply brilliant, thanks again for all your time and effort!!!

the information in your videos are nutty m8, that sand breakdown was gnarly, makes total sense now.

Love your work, I've just began to share interesting news and intriguing archeological findings myself. Keep up the good work!

Yet more outstanding work, sir! An insightful, plausible and downright compelling explanation of the available evidence.

Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

Great as usual. Thank you for your efforts.

Always great work!

Notable that the air channels into the queens chamber quit extending right around the point in construction where you could feasibly test the portcullis system for the first time.

I love sitting down for lunch and having a new video to watch and this channel is in my top 3. Awesome work once again.

I so look forward to listening to your insights. Thank you

Fascinating, as always 👍😊

Great video as always dude, love your work. I do have a question about your channel though, as a loose speculation, how much more content about the pyramids (that you haven't covered yet) do you think remains before you could say you've addressed basically everything you had to say about the pyramids and their study. I'm just curious where you think we might be on that road to completion.

If you asked me this question before I started making videos, I'd probably say by now I would have exhausted topics for them. But more research brings better questions, and more videos. The primary reason for making the channel was to expand the ability to research. I only ever make videos on topics that interest me - so as long as I'm still interested there should still be more videos.

Very good video. I appreciate the work you put into these. Thank you!

Once again another interesting and informative video...and never a question of whether I'll be watching until the end as they are always fully appreciated...and even after the video I'll ponder what I've seen and how the puzzle pieces which for so long have been so enigmatic start to make sense. Thanks and cheers.

breaking rock is a HUGE part of soil works projects. Homesteaders who build roads know, you need to have access to several different grades of aggregate to make projects which can withstand seasonal hydrology this sand angle is fascinating!! excellent work as always, it goes down like the finest wines

I must say I really admire the work and effort you put in to all of your videos. I enjoy your content so much. Thank you ☺️

Yet so wrong.

Just found this channel! Watched all the videos in a day. Feels better than visiting a museum. Thank you for your work!

Great stuff as always! Thank you.

you never cease to amaze! cracking job!

Always fascinating work. Thank you.

Excellent investigative work. Thanks.

Bro, your content is seriously top tier. Don't stop. Don't ever stop.

Thanks for showing us one of the most amazing factories of the past.

I always love your videos! Thanks! 🙂

yesterday I watched an authenticsound video about a bach prelude. It was a really good video and reminded me of your channel, and I though "wow I hope there is a video from him soon". what a great coincidence!

As always: Excellent work!

Excellent insightful commentary yet again. Keep up the great work. Thanks for all your efforts.

I enjoyed it again, beautiful images and clear explanations of the sometimes mysterious working methods of the pyramid builders..😊

Another great one. Thank you.

Staggeringly good work !

the only channel i get excited when i see a new video from

I love this channel!

So many opportunities for discovery and exploration languishing in the sands of time. Even with antiquities misers stranglehold on the plateau, you once again make discoveries of your own and posit hypotheses that all of us so eagerly wish could be put to the test! Alas, your video, once again, only leaves me wanting for more. Keep up the good work and continue your saga as you search for the truth chiseled in the very stone that is the History for Granite.

Thanks for another banger!!
