Hi everybody. This is a video from 3 years ago that had to be re-published due to some background music I used no longer being ‘royalty-free’. My narration was recorded 3 years ago using my old microphone and software, so there’s a little echo, but I think it’s fine. Thanks for being here!

@3:36 is the comment "Interestingly, the door was still plastered with mortar when the sarcophagus was found". Then goes on to say that when the sarcophagus was opened it was empty. Very interesting indeed! Occam's razor would suggest that there was never anything placed in there to begin with.

Bingo. Egyptology needs to quite literally think outside of the box on this one. Perhaps the function of the boxes have nothing to do with the contents inside them, and they only have lids because they needed to hollow it out, but were always meant to remain empty and sealed shut. Surely there is a physicist out there capable of thinking of a use for a large, precision acoustic resonant cavity.

Hmm, so the sarcophagus was empty when opened, with no markings. I feel like we should call it a stone box instead of a sarcophagus.

Something else I've never seen. Thanks for the great videos!

Well ! ! That's a turn-up for Sarcophagus lovers ! The Ingenuity of the Ancient ones never ceases to amaze and mystify EVERYONE ! Was there some Genius behind it all who loved the Wooden puzzles, that we all love today Or were they just trying out NEW techniques of trying to stop the Tomb Raiders, from getting inside ? Fascinating Matt ! I wonder if there any more differing types of Sarcophagi to be found ? Keep up the GREAT work Matt ! Stay safe, and DON'T get locked in one ! Stu xx

From the first notes of the intro i get excited.

Matt, you never disappoint! Another ancient Egyptian mystery from Ancient Architects' sleuth has made my day brighter!

Thanks again for a great segment Made my afternoon

Thank you for re-releasing this video.

I recall reading about this pyramid of the Third Dynasty belonging to Pharaoh Sekhem-khet (meaning "powerful strong body"), aka Djoser-ti. He was a son of KIng Djoser. I was fascinated by the photos of the burial chamber, with a pitiful garland wreath placed on top of the sarcophagus with the sliding up-down door.

Awesome info! Thanks Matt!

Great video as always. I’m curious how the door to the sarcophagus was discovered. Like was it discovered open or shut? I’d love if you did a long form video talking about general pyramid and mestabah layouts. Like goegraphic orientation, general layout, and proposed ideology for why. I remember an old video you had done talking about the air shafts representing the sun carrying the pharaohs soul out of the pyramid, and am curious to see how that developed from a shaft and some hallways

Wow! Great stuff Matt 🤘🏼🙏

Thanks for this video! I have never heard of that before and it's really interesting 👍 As usual, nicely edited, well narrated and just all-in-all wholesome 🤗

Interesting thought, similar to the cache of mummies found at the valley.

I agree, that the bodies are buried elsewhere, this would explain why there are no mummies in any of the pyramids.

The sliding door craftwork looks like something we'd find in the Puma Punku ruins. -- Texas

If you add the recent theory of ‘history for granite’ regarding these early tombs the mystery deepens.Can’t help believing that they were originally buried in ( one of) the tombs and yes that initially people could enter ( one of) the tombs to pay their respects/ worship. But as to where they’ve all gone.Now that really is a mystery.A first valley of the kings! Now that really would be a find if it exists!

Love anything pre 11th dynasty. Take care

Nobody likes to think that our ancestors were as smart if not smarter than we are today. It is really cool the things they managed to achieve with the tools they had and the power of the imagination to create ways to achieve their desires and/or goals.

And here I thought that Howard Carter had discovered the "two tombs column" in 1922... I simply have got to get my ears checked!

Likely, those boxes *aren’t* sarcophagi. 😳

Ohh I do love a good sliding door

Why is ancient Egypt so inconceivable

I remember seeing this the first time three years ago.

Why would they close it back up after breaking in and robbing it?? 🤷‍♂️

Tis a mystery indeed... like most of the ancient worlds.

Lol, why are you singing the last word in every sentence, that is so funny. I couldn't imagine a room full of people speaking like that. lol. I made it to 3:25 and bust out laughing. " Has one unusual featuuuuuuuuuuuure" lol

the story behind the man who discovered the sarcophagus ,and his strange death would also make a great video .. but we're left with a very well made sealed box , with no obvious use ,unless the contents were removed and the box was resealed for some strange reason . A resealed box wouldn't fool a robber for very long ,so i doubt it was made for that reason , if you really wanted to fool a robber you would make a box with a groove around an opening or lid , and imagine them trying to remove the none existent lid . The amount of time taken to construct this is incredible , someone must have climbed inside and hollowed it out to perfection for something , was it designed for the kings body ? if so how would you get it in there in a dignified way , you can't get inside and pull the body in so it must have been pushed in . I'd like to measure the internal dimensions to see how accurate they are , it reminds me of the granite boxes at the Serapium , but would a sarcophagus really require this accuracy internally , it's an amazing item without an explanation for it's intended use , we can assume it was for the body of the king because no other use seems apparent but it's a question we might never be able to answer .

Me encanta el reino antiguo,ahí radica el secreto de la cultura egipcia.siempre supe que eran cajas donde los faraones entraban y se iban a otra dimensión,como una puerta de entrada a una máquina del tiempo,o un portal hacia su planeta!!!!🎉😊😊🤗

Has anyone measured how precise the box is? Are the angles properly square and the surfaces flat? How tight does the lid fit?

Or maybe people always visited dummy tombs, equipped with dummy sarkophagi, when they worshipped them, while the real royal mummies were secretly burried somewhere else, unknown by the public. Maybe to create some undisturbed holy place for the kings. Or all of this could have also been part of their religion, to actually fake it, when the deceased rose again to continue his life in the afterlive. If the public ever opend on of their royal tombs, they would have found it to be empty - so the former king made its way, vanished from this world and continued to live on in the afterlife-world, while in truth they faked all of this and laid them to rest somewhere secret, where they actually never moved anywhere. Could be a very strong ritual to fake it and present an empty tomb to the public, while they all witnesses the "burial" of their former king prior to this at this very same place. So they all witnessed "magic", while there never was one.

There was a similar one in Shush, Iran... Inside a catacomb like structure, Roman construction up top.

Sliding door looks similar to the H blocks at Puma Punku

Why is it not said that the sarcophagus was drilled? The tracks are clearly visible. This is the most interesting thing about this place.

Like a live catch trap for tomb robbers. Imagine trying to get out of that thing after the door snapped closed...

Those amazing caucasians… I hear that they can fly now, and go into space…😮😊

Makes you wonder if there are some hollowed stones in one of the pyramids concealing treasure.

Were the stone vessels found inside this tomb similar to the ones found under Djoser's pyramid? From the photo 5:11 it seems so. It is very interesting, because, as far as I have heard, these vessels are of incredible quality and made with some of the hardest stones found in Egypt

@@AncientArchitects Do you know how the age of these artifacts (high precision vessels) was determined?

If it was a dummy tomb Wouldn't they have left the sarcophagus open to make the tomb robbers think it had already been looted ? and left a few gold objects lying around to make them think they got lucky and just went home ? The fact the sarcophagus was completely sealed and empty with gold objects lying around is very interesting.

Been thinking of what these pyramids were really for recently, and the fact they all seem to be tombs, but lack bodies, makes me wonder, especially given something of my own research, witch i have yet to compare to the actual dimensions of the actual pyramids. Have worked out what i would call something of geometric superpositioning, that is, a shape that is simultaneous a rectangular prisum, 5 pointed star in a pentogon, and a pyramid of predetermined slope. I have also been able to track a path in witch it takes a path of only one of these forms and doing so, allows a transfer of the rules of light and phisical destortions to agree and semlessly show a transfer of light to object, and object to light. After years, only in the last year did i find the same thing, but never shown geometrical in plan diogram, but as a layout for art, all seens depicting assensions or reserections. Now, given that's kind out the point of sorts of the pyramids burials, perhaps there's no bodies because it actually worked? Was looking to see if theres anything in locations where localized infinity points around the pyramids would land as well, the fact they usualy have land lower to them near buy seems to add up to what this geometric prisable would require should it be expressed. An underground chamber at the corect dept and distence can also satisfying the infinity points as well.

Its only a tomb if you find a body

No, this is wrong. A "somewhat modern" tomb is still a tomb, if there is a tomb stone on top of it and we know that this is/was a graveyard. Corpses usually desintegrate fast, so you won't find remains in many places in our world anymore. Even their wooden coffins desintegrate, but the place where the burial originally took place is still considered a tomb. Or do you want to claim, that a place, where you certainly know that an ancestor of you was laid to rest, isn't a tomb, because we won't find your ancestors remains anymore, in case we dig there?

So you can only slide things in from the front on a sled or something. This means that there must have been some kind of construction with something on it. But it was completely empty. It seems as if the box was completely airtight, when it was found. If so, why?

No matter how much valuable items you have found, not a thread is leaving the planet....

Is it true the archeologist who discovered this sarcophagus went inside of it just before loosing his mind and dying?

The same model of an entrance to the North is found in the talayots of Menorca, which seems to indicate not only a symbolism of death (the Sun never hits the North side), but a probable egyptian inspiration, or even authorship, in the talayots. Indeed, a papyrus speaks about the egyptian general Baleo, who was given the Balearic (thus the name) islands as prize for his military victories. These "pyramids" even have a spiral structure too!

How the FRACK did they cut than one??? And where is it now?

Looks like magic trick box

If no body was there then nobody knows no body 😊

Some it seems many Pyramid have 2 burial chambers. What if both of those where the decoys? I do not think we have looked far enough to find the real one.

Have you ever studied the possibility of Imhotep being Joseph. The bones were carried out of Egypt during the exodus.

reminds me of those chinese boxes. . in a pillar or support block would be the ideal burial place. hidden from looters forever. maybe all the passages were to help seal that position.

That looks a heck of a lot like a crematory

3:36 First bit about sarcophagus: They didn't want him OR his spirit coming back, it looks like.

that box was where the energy source was kept, not a coffin for a pharaoh, hey?

Did Sekhemet know Snifferoo?

It's not a sacropagus, it's a measuring bath for grain 🌾

At some point the penny will drop and the experts will suddenly proclaim that pyramids are not tombs.... (well, not originally, even if later peoples used them as such).

The thumbnail reminds me of a gameboy game

Don’t you think that ancient Egyptians trapped a demon in that sarcophagus? I mean this is what they believed?

"How do you know this box was empty?" "Because there is nothing inside of it" "How do you know there is nothing inside of it?" "See for yourself. Do you see anything inside of it?" "No, I guess the box is empty" Perhaps we really are nothing more than a bunch of apes who cannot believe what we do not see. The ego of man will destroy itself, whether by small acts of self destruction, or by literally releasing ancient spirits we cannot see back into the earth's electric field.

Why were the 136 magazines cut? For the people who made the pyramid, as payment for their services, or for the servants, or for prominent officials, or for family? Perhaps people bought them, and that paid for the construction.

How did they cut it out from the inside?

To be fair - if it was robbed under time pressure and with the light of a torch or an oil lamp, it is very much possible, that robbers didn't find every single jewlery item hidden in every corner of that place. Hard to compare this with modern archaeology, where people with tons of electric lights check every piece of dust in every corner all over the place.

Maybe the body actually went to the afterlife

and why not, when the pyramids worldwide were built by Atlant from the Barnard Star, data from billy meier site, as power generators, chris dunne.

I feel like all those old kings mummies were probably discovered 1700-1880 ish and were eaten or turned into brown oil paint

THIS is presuming it is a sarcophagus..... right ?

To do the perfect crime in these ancient times, you would simply open the sarcophagus, steal what's inside, close it back. No one who would enter that chamber later to pay respects to the dead Pharaoh would notice the tomb have been robbed. The perfect crime indeed. And that's make us 4000years later scratching our head about what's going on

Or... their bodies are gone because the resurrection process worked, however improbably.
