The shape makes it fairly stable I would guess. It's unlikely to tip over.

So they really think that the ancient Egyptian didn't know how to build a small model to find out the angle that's possible? I believe the bending is on purpose. For what reason ever, but it's unlikely an error. Zahi is trying so hard to have en explication for everything. He likes to be seen as super smart 😊

Assuming he didn't nail his Engineers & Architects to the floor after they botched his Pyramid then yeah... I agree, The construction was intentional

I visited the pyramids fifty years ago in Egypt and I felt at the time the interior galleries were not meant for humans to traverse, it was more like the interior of a machine of some sort. The pyramid blocks had to have been poured into forms like cement. No other way. Someone knew how to liquify granite back then. You would still require the quarries.

delusional theory # 846 I saw an interesting video of a modern day Mason who was making a block of poured concrete & inside the block was smaller rocks that was acting like fill so he wouldn't have to use so much expensive concrete... But what caught my attention is when he stuck a vibrating tube into the wet concrete & this removed all the voids and air pockets - This of course would explain the Nubs & the many different sizes of them, perhaps bigger nubs were because of a moist mixture & smaller ones were when the material was drying out more But anyway - When he pulled the tube out it made a perfect Nub But it doesn't explain square Nubs so Unless the Square Nubs were a structural thing? Perhaps the Square Nubs were meant to be for attaching beams or other components?

I think that Egyptians did not build the Gisa Pyramids and were as puzzled about their use as we are today. Not unlike civilized people today desiring the tallest building ,,I think they were envious that they had to sit and look at intelligence they didn`t have and tried unsuccessfully with the sharper angle of the Bent pyramid attempting to do it better and higher,but began having design flaws ,then changing the angle. Then having even more design flaws erected a 45 degree pyramid,but still,,,,,,I think is inferior to the Gisa pyramids in design.

4:41 Ah-HA! Snefru's pyramids were a consumer test, to see which one would draw the most tourists!

See they don’t say that the best most complex pyramids were built first then these other ones! Not what you would expect especially if the Egyptians built the first ones you would expect the building methods to get better but none actually ever achieved the greatness of the first 3!

Some interesting ideas are presented. Enjoyed the video.

Thanks!

Well at least someone looked at the progression of the builds and coined it a "research and development process" which those builds most certainly were, particularly when one factors in Sneferu's first build at Meidum which was essentially a "mock up" of what would eventually be built at Dahshur (Red Pyramid). Factoring in the chamber layouts and the chemical assay of the residue left on the interior blocks, it appears they were used to accomplish a specific chemical reaction, the creation of sodium carbonate using a "Solvay type" process. They obviously had some trouble overcoming the exothermic heat issues, hence the inclusion of a cooling system within the next build, the Great Pyramid. Sodium carbonate was known to the early Egyptians as "natron", the salt used in the mummification process. Chemical plant...go figure. 🤔

As an Egyptian, what really amazes me about my ancestors is not the buildings itself as in structure or the purposes of why it was built-up in start or even the mind blowing secrets related to each temple, pyramid or tomb scientist discover every now and then. What really amazez me is the "WILL" behind each of those miracles they had built. Please, check out what i mean, they started building this pyramid and after a while they realized that in order to end up having a straight pyramid, They gonna need to build it "MUCH TALLER" and "MUCH WIDER" due to the wrong measurments they did in start, so they decided to stop as continuing means building something never been and never seen , so they stoped. THEN SIMPLY BUILT THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA, ( MUCH TALLER / MUCH WIDER / FULL OF SECRETS ). THEIR WILL WAS UNBREAKABLE, IM REALLY PROUD TO BE EGYPTIAN!!

This is simply not true, two minutes of research required, the first one I came across was 5th dynasty but there are others

27:45 I once visited an ancient tomb in Thailand. The ceiling of the main chamber was full of bats like this one.

what if the order was in reverse? red was first and they tried to make a more ambitious one with 58 degrees?

it's possible to calculate the possible maximum height with math. just need to know how much weight a single block will crush under and single block's own weight. experimenting by building a tower of single blocks will yield the result. making a pyramid using these blocks will divide the pressure by three and it will be at the 3 times the height of single blocks. say one block is two tons and it's 20*20*50, single tower's max block count is twenty blocks at the cracking limit. 20*2=40 tons of direct pressure of dried limestone. 20*20=400 inches of height. 400*3=1200 inches of total height limit for this material. experimental procedures suchs as surface of contact area changes, granite supports, hollow areas for weight relief would have been beneficial. If main inner tower is made out of bricks and mortar,and using heavy materials and casing parts without using lighter filling as height goes up, inner wards pressure could have damaged it, trying to build a perfect pyramid with only four corners, perfect materials could be the reason. idealism and physics,and a Pharaoh's demands for speed or symbolism would have been a catastrophic mix. Kufu with doubled corners using a minute concave angle and thus distributing the weight to 8 points also helped it to survive flawlessly. also Petrie's calculations leading to a depression in inner fillings and casings using the inner base harder and harder by each level. Building Chartre cathedral was a miracle by an unknown man, whose name lost to time, but we also know insane demands made by the bishop which he tackled along the way with never before seen solutions. also gisa is a possible location to have hills of bedrock still visible like sphinx itself. how can you build the greatest of them all if asked today? I would go for using Himalaya for the base, and build on it. sphinx and courage shown with putting kufu on the edge of such a plato indicates such design. digging, building,needed work, and all cost and time would go down of such plan put to use. being practical and going away from holy spaces such as dashur or saqqara maybe shows kufus ingenuity.

Amazing crap explanation....thank God for photoGramercy. 60 degrees did not cause the instability...it was the sand...but it would have been a lot taller.

Well looks as if it was slapped together for power while they settled in?

If I were build a pyramid, I would build it from the inside out. The chambers are built then everything comes from that.

Ha ha ha. What nonsense. Snefru changed his mind mid-way? That is the best "alternate" theory you can come up with?

Perhaps Senefru was buried at Meidum in a mastaba. His son's were buried there.

So, this beautiful pyramid is a "mistake", but is also the second oldest pyramid, and the only one which stands whole, with its clad and all, despite gigantic earthquakes that fully destroyed the near-by temples.. How exactly was it a "mistake" then? That is a canard perpetrated by the European archeologists (particularly the French) of the last century, and now is perpetrated by everybody else, no matter how illogical that nonsense is. The fact is stirring them in their dogmatic face. If the pyramid was a "mistake", they could have easily add a new layer to the lower part, making it look just like others and bland. It is like the same canard about the Pantheon in Rome which the dogma says about its double pediment as being "a mistake" that presumably the perfectionist Romans "forgot" to fix by simply chisling the second pedimetn away!!!! Oh really?!
