my head-canon explaination for the sand is as follows. if you wanted to make a tomb as hard to break into as possible then you would want to surround and fill it with substances that are resistant to digging, while something like granite resists digging through it by being really strong and hard, sand is different. sand resists digging by being really loose and constantly flowing back down into the hole filling itself back in, if you don't sure up the sides then it's impossible to dig deep into sand. in short sand resists digging by being really annoying as opposed to being tough. for this reason i believe the sand was added and used to fill corridors as a mild form of defence to prevent digging. it would be really hard to remove requiring hundred or thousands of buckets being carried up through small corridors to do so but putting in in place would be easy as you could just pour it down the entrance and let the slope of the tunnels do the work. it could also explain the small chutes to nowhere inside the chambers.

A proper engineering or architectural study of its purpose, informed by culture and history, would probably be the best place to start. After all, significant blind excavation has already turned up nothing of note. The lack of study into such structures given the simplicity it would be with modern techniques is, to me, an astonishing blind spot. One really does wonder why so little such scrutiny is done, or perhaps, allowed.

I'm so glad people have started doing independent research into the pyramids with thorough observation skills, because waiting for mainstream media to ever present the truth is a lost cause. This channel is incredible. Thanks for all these brilliant vids. 🎯

It's human nature that one of the hardest things any of us can do is to not be blinded by a fond belief, even when there is contrary evidence. You want to find evidence of a sarcophagus in the queen's chamber and yet in all honesty you had to accept these accounts are not it. Many would not accept that.

I really like the theory that all three chambers in the pyramid were meant for the pharoah and represent different stages of the building project enabling him to have a burial chamber ready in case he died before the work was finished. So there should not have been sarcophagi in either the "Queen's" chamber or the subterranean one - as no-one was ever buried in them

This channel is so good, it can only be of others not yet discovering this treasure trove of information. I was led here through "Ancient Architects" channel, another fantastic channel on its own.

At 8:20" Caviglia was always off digging in Mummy pits" . The Queen's sarcophagus was in the niche sitting on the granite or marble block and the treasure hunter brain of Caviglia figured the treasure she had was behind the sarcophagus so he destroyed it to find her treasure and left the ruble . Sometime around 1817.

Thank you for yet another wonderful video. Your knowledge is exceptional but more importantly giving people time to view the Ancient Architects video 1st tells me that you are also a very exceptional human. I look forward to future videos.

Another wonderfully researched, captivating and informative video. I always look forward to new material from you. Keep up the awesome work 👍

I'm skeptical of this conclusion. It feels like more of a leap to me to say that someone could misconstrue the lack of a box for a box. I think it's pretty well understood, generally, what a sarcophagus is when that term is used. There's no reason to use that term otherwise. I'm not saying there was one and I'm not saying there wasn't, but to even lean toward "there wasn't" based on this explanation is a mistake imo. I don't buy the "knocking on the wall makes an echo in the tunnel" being the same as the sound created by knocking on a hollow box either-- two different acoustic experiences. An echo is not the same as a hollow thud.

What I'd like to see is a video on what the pyramid(s) is/are _not._ Sort of a mythbusting list. Like it's _not_ a grain storage silo (Ben Carson). It's _not_ an alien beacon. It's _not_ a giant sundial. There's a lot of theories about what the pyramids were used for and I think debunking them is a good starting point for layfolk like me who don't know if it was a make-work project to keep a restless population employed, a vanity project for kings, a temple to the gods, a celestial calendar, a tomb, or something to impress visiting dignitaries.

I think you might be right with the sarcophagus theory. When looking at the niche with the tunnel visible, well, it look more like a tunnel than a sarcophagus. But on the old photos, half filled with sand and stones, it looks much more like a ( not fully excavated) sarcophagus than I expected. Since both reports you mentioned, were written during Vyse's excavation work in front of the niche, it is likely, that some debris would have been deposited inside the tunnel and after the backfill, left there.

What great videos. Just when I thought everything had been said on the subject of ancient Egypt and Giza.....along come your videos to make us think again.....

Very nice video, thanks! Sarcophagus, from the Greek, means “flesh eating”, according to the American Heritage Dictionary. And when used in the context of a stone burial box, it means a type of stone that will hasten the decomposition of corpses. Roman historian Pliny the Elder says that the best sarcophagus stone in use in his day could “consume” a corpse in as little as 40 days. My guess is that reducing graveyard smell was the main motivation. Therefore, it does not necessarily refer to a box shaped stone object, but to any stone enclosure you’d put a dead body into. Egyptians, being obsessed with preserving the mortal remains, would naturally be repulsed by we moderns referring to their stone burial boxes as sarcophagi. So, and in line with your theory, your early 1800s dudes, being closer to the origins of the word “sarcophagus”, could have easily thought of both the box in the King’s chamber and the Queen’s chamber niche as sarcophagi. On the other hand, there may be some rich dude, even as I write this, smiling and gently patting the Queen’s chamber box-like sarcophagus in his secret lair. A Queen’s sarcophagus would naturally be smaller, because it’s for a female and would be of a size that could fit inside of the short original tunnel at the back of the niche and would not be elaborated upon too greatly by its discoverer since they, or parties soon after them, hauled it up and out in the dead of night to be sold on the black market.

In the old photos, with all that rubble in it, the visible part of the square cavity inside the niche looks even more like a sacrophagus than it does today.

I read the page with Viscino's description that you show at 11:00 and as a native german speaker I think that it is very unlikely that what Viscino describes there is what we see today. Let me explain why. 1.) Viscino writes that the sarcophagus is "standing (!) on (!) the eastern wall, largely (!) in the same". If he was refering to the square cavity, this choice of words would be very crude and make little sense. The square cavity is not "on" but "in" the eastern wall and not "largely" but completly and the cavity is not "standing" at all. If he meant the cavity, you would expect a description along the line of "a sarcophagus was carved into the wall". 2.) Why would he assume that the cavity is a sarcophagus? The sarcophagus in the King's chamber is very clearly a sarcophagus, but while the square cavity could potentially be closed and used to store a corpse, it is far from obvious that this was the case and he would indulge in speculation there which does not seem to be in line with the rest of his purely descriptive text. 3.) His description of the sarcophagus as "standing somewhat smaller [...] open, empty, simple" refers back to the sarcophagus that he had seen in the King's Chamber before. Note that in this case the words "standing open, empty, simple" make perfect sense and are a very clear description of what we see in the King's chamber today. So when we take this context into account, the most likely interpretation of his words is that the sarcophagus in the Queen's Chamber is just like the one in the King's chamber except that it is "somewhat smaller" and standing largely inside a niche. But if he was refering to the square cavity assuming that this cavity was used as a sarcophagus, then comparing this sarcophagus to the one in King's chamber without mentioning the huge differences between these two completly different kinds of sarcophagi seems very strange and unlikely. 4.) The last paragraph of the page begins with "Above (!) the sarcophagus a shaft leads into the eastern wall." If he saw the square cavity as the sarcophagus, this description would make no sense. What he would have written in this case would be something like "behind the sarcophagus" or "at the other end of the sarcophagus". 5.) If he saw not the the square cavity itself as the sarcophagus, but the floor of the cavity as the lid of a sarcophagus, he could not have written that the sarcophagus was empty. To sum up, for your interpretation to make sense, you have to assume that Viscino's account is very crude, unprecise and speculative, and that assumption does not seem to be in line with the rest of his text. Edit: 6.) The kind of tomb that you think Viscino saw is called "Backofengrab" ("oven grave") in German and would never be called a sarcophagus, especially not by a priest. A sarcophagus is always a (at least potentially) free standing stone box.

@HistoryforGRANITE

Жыл бұрын

I appreciate your analysis, and here's a few things to consider. 1) Visino is not writing this as he looks at it directly. It's from memory some time later, and no doubt the poor illumination did not help. 2) The tunnel is 'above' the sarcophagus if you interpret the rough chisel marks as tunneling distinct from the box itself. Most of the squared limestone does become the tunnel, - but the section that appears non-original to the pyramid is above the 'sarcophagus'. 3) It's common for people to adopt nomenclature they wouldn't normally use to describe something foreign. If someone tells you pharaohs are buried in a sarcophagus - you call it a sarcophagus even if it's not how you would usually describe it. 4) If there was a real free-standing sarcophagus, they way Visino describes it puts in the most awkward spot possible. It would have to be precariously set over the hole being dug in the floor - why would Vyse put it there? It doesn't disguise the hole (since Visino had a good look inside). It's just in the way and hazardous to people and the sarcophagus itself.

@@HistoryforGRANITE So Visino's book is a collection of letters that he wrote to another priest. I read the full 5th letter on Google Books and the more I read the more interesting this story becomes to me. The letter is dated with "Cairo, the 30th of March" and apparently his visit to the pyramids took place only three days earlier. So his memory must be fresh and given the amount of numbers he includes in his account like his counting of the stone courses, the dimensions of rooms and corridors and the exact dimensions of the coffin in the King's Chamber, I think it is fair to assume that he must have taken notes while he was on site. In his letter he also describes how he entered the "shaft above the coffin" in the Queen's Chamber, how he crawls through it and how he retreats backwards with his gun drawn when he meets "something living" in there, obviously refering to some kind of animal. So given the fact that according to this diagram upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Chambre-reine-kheops.jpg what you call the "square cavity" is about 4 meters long before it becomes a "forced passage" and given the fact that Visino did crawl through it, I really do not see how he could identify any part of this structure as a "somewhat smaller coffin" that "stands" "on the eastern wall". The only thing that would make remotely sense is if he called the part that is called "recess" on the diagram shown at 11:28 a "coffin". The width of the recess might fit his description and the height might fit as well if you assume that the lid was flush with the floor of the square cavity, which in that case would be described correctly as being "a shaft above the coffin". But in my view the problem with this interpretation is simply that this recess is obviously just that. It is a niche into which a coffin could be placed, but to call it a "coffin" really bends the words. And if he refered with "coffin" to this recess, what does his remark that the coffin is "largely inside the wall" mean? By definition the recess is fully inside the wall. My point is that I see no need to bend Visino's words like this when there is a way more likely interpretation available, being that he is simply saying there stands a "real" coffin inside the niche of the Queen's Chamber and that this coffin protrudes a bit out of the niche and that Vise is digging beneath it. To be clear, I am not saying that this coffin in the Queen's chamber must have existed. I am entirely prepared to dismiss this part of Visino's account as plainly wrong. Maybe he just strongly assumed that there once must have been a coffin inside the niche and he made up the present existence of this coffin to strenghten his hypothesis that the pyramids were nothing else but tombs. I am purely looking at his account from a hermeneutical perspective and to me it seems quite clear what he is saying and that he is indeed talking about a "real" coffin and not some niche or cavity that he calls "coffin" for whatever reason.

Thank you again for digging deeper, and it's true that parsing words from so long ago can be maddening. Certainly Visino's words are not a perfect match to the niche cavity - but for me the similarities outweigh the differences. If one assumed a Queen's Chamber sarcophagus would be analogous to its chamber the way the King's Chamber sarcophagus is (granite box, granite room), then you'd expect it to be a bit smaller, made of limestone etc. But since Prince Kawab (Khufu's son) had a large granite sarcophagus - surely an original Queen's Chamber one is unlikely to have been smaller and made of limestone. It's another example of making a logical interpretation that happens to be inaccurate.

Imho it looks as if the second sarcophagus was turned upside down and put in the excavation hole ( this would account for the discrepancy in depth ) in order that if anyone say the prince came along and re opened the excavation the bottom of the sarcophagus would appear to be a soild block therfore making it look like he was telling the truth this would also explain the large amount of rubble left over in the picture reportedly taken shortly after !

Amazing, stupendous just WOW BTW, I have watched a lot of this stuff and this this perhaps the best presentation of all. You ask questions without answers and that is beauty of it. Another thing. you mentioned around 2:42 that they are, in my words keeping things close to their chest. Can you really blame them when over the centuries their heritage was plundered.

Again an excellent analysis! Thank you for the effort you put into it. :)) There might be an additional explanation as to why the early explorers saw a sarcophagus in the structures. How boring is an empty queens chamber? So this structure has to be a sarcophagus for readers to be excited. We see the same principle in the media today. ;)

"The sand could have been used to aid the moving of slabs -the slab sits on top of the sand -The sand is moved away and the slab lowers into place -apparently this was used under the Sphinx for the temples found there "

Random question here - Are there any conclusions that can be drawn from the necessary lighting needs to see and measure the interior. For everything so precisely assembled, I doubt it could happen by torch light... Some things we truly don't understand their precision until using very modern means of measurements.

Much appreciated. Another excellent video.

Here's the relevant part of the page shown at 11:00 translated to English: "Left of the entrance, at the eastern wall, mostly inside the same, stands the somewhat smaller coffin made from marble, open, empty, simple. Below it, there currently is being excavated, and already a marble-covered room was visible, which---when tapped---sounds hollow. Above the coffin, a low shaft leads into the eastern Wall. Holding the light in front of me, I crawled into it on my knees and elbows. After about 30 feet, it turned south. [bats] Now it went upward, initially wider, then so narrow that I only could crawl forward with great effort. It got very stuffy, the light burning more dimly; then something rolled [page break]"

You could also conclude that European catacombs might have influenced an explorer's idea of what a sarcophagus was.

Given that the Kings Chamber has a reliving chamber on top of it. It could be that a similar such an structure exists below both chambers to support them? Indeed most internal diagrams of the pyramid do not show any internal structure other than a possible profile of the original bed rock. My thought with the sand is that perhaps the internal structure are also large granite slabs with similar voids, but the voids were filled with sand.

This is great. I am just a novice or hobbyist, but I reall appreciate your chanel.

Thanks for sharing your research! I look forward to your videos and am impressed with your work. I can’t remember what you thought the pyramids were built for and why the great pyramid has so many mathematical and scientific formulas built in? How old do you think Giza is? I love listening and learning what serious researchers think they are, when, and who built them. Looking forward to your next video! ⚡️🌎⚡️🐄🌔🌎⚡️

When you build something, everything is mathematical, for example to build a roof, I buy wood in four metters, but I have not so much choice to cut the wood, if I want two equal parts that's make 2 meters, four, 1 meter, but three parts makes 1.33 meter to have no loss. So you have the roof chosen in a way having no loss and you find always consequences of trigonometry, and of the initial choices you have made.an other example for angles, cycle is 360 degrees, the number of days in a year 12 x 30 days, in assyrian calendar, so this makes a link between days and angle. ''time is an angle'' as says an Astrophysicist friend .

Consider the kings chamber a burning room which can cause a vacuum in the rest of the pyramid. It has two vents from which you can expel the burnt fuel smoke and co2 or add more fuel as and when necessary. Consider the anti chamber and its adjustable granite door into the kings chamber as a means of controlling the vacuum in the rest of the pyramid. When the door is fully open and fuel is burned, the kings chamber is sucking the air out of grand gallery until a vacuum pressure exists. Consider the vacuum pressure enough to suck water up through the sub terrainian chamber, up the grand gallery and fills the queens chamber with water to the depth of the step. Consider that originally the design failed because water couldn't be sucked through the ascending passage and that design was plugged and the grotto shaft added which did work. Consider evidence of burning at the top of the grand galley in the form of two inches of carbon crud which was removed by the Egyptian state about ten years ago. Also consider soot removed from the kings chamber and anti chamber over a hundred years ago, Consider the ammonia salt deposits removed from the queens chamber passage walls by the Egyptian state more than ten years ago, in some places several inches thick and a constant smell of ammonia from within those salts indicating the presence of past chemical reactions. Consider asking yourself why the Egyptian state physically removed contemporary historical evidence from within a protected ancient monument. Consider why it was allowed. Until you know those answers, you'll never know what you are truely looking at because you only have half of the story.

Cheers bro, nice work!

Ancient Architects is who recommended your wonderful channel.

eagerly waiting for this. to watch repeatedly.

Just completed my 10th - 7 yr. circuit around the sun this month. Bought the ''Secrets Of The Great Pyramid'' by Peter Thompkins @ age 22 back in 1973, & have studied & referred to it's logic & mathematics many times over ever since. The most Integral explorer in my opinion, was Flinders Petrie.

Absolutely Utterly Fascinating

Hello there again. I am going to take a "wild card" from the "Monopoly" board and give it my best guess. I may end up in "jail" but, ...here's my take on this highly intriguing subject. After watching this wonderful video over and over several times, I have a "hypothesis". It's in two parts. 1.) There was a Sarcophagus, BUT, (someone) messed up and broke it during their excavations. Our friends Al Adrizi, Weiss, Caviglia and Petri were not the first to enter the Great Pyramid as we know. (Not to mention the Circus Performer, Barzoni or Barboni, I can't recall, who was notorious for not being the most "gentle" or methodical of treasure hunters.) Over the millennia, who can say how many attempts were made to plunder the monument? Anyway, I believe the Sarcophagus was damaged and ended up as rubble. Who wants to come home to the British Museum with a pile of scrap and claim "It really is a Sarcophagus, if they just glue it together again?" Embarrassing, what? 2.) From the photographic evidence, one can estimate the the space in the Niche to be approximately large enough for a "modern" person to lay down horizontally. Approximately 5.5 Ft. from the photos. If this was truly a "Queen's" chamber / Sarcophagus / Niche, then I submit that it may have been a small Sarcophagus, as the average height of Ancient Peoples was less than that of the modern person. It therefore may have fit into the Niche horizontally more like an alter with the god peering from behind over the box, protecting it. So, to get deeper into the Niche, where they perhaps suspected to find "Booty", they may have attempted to move it and broke it in the process. All the rubble in the Niche, which we see in the photos, may actually be in part, the Sarcophagus itself? Do I go to "Jail" now? I can't wait to read your take on this and your upcoming special video. Thanks.

There are a few examples of 'coffers within coffers' - but it's uncommon and usually the stone is a different type in the two layers. I think the niche cavity being a back-up 'unused' coffer is a reasonable idea. But I think it's much less likely a 2nd coffer was actually embedded within and entirely lost to time.

@@HistoryforGRANITE OK, sounds reasonable. Thank you so much for your reply. At least Im' not I jail! But, I still can't afford Boardwalk!🙃

Not only the construction of the pyramids makes me wonder, but also the associated side processes. You have to wonder about the stone cutting techniques, the mathematics that went into the project, the interior lighting needed at the time, the actual psychology of the designers, as well as many more side fields that would have needed be to brought to bare to realise the project. These people knew a lot of ‘science’ and would have had it all over other societies of the time. Yet it was all lost. Something we should take note of.

Man, when you mentioned the sarcophagus lost at sea I remembered a scene of that from a movie I couldn't remember... it was "The Old Guard" with Charlize Theron, they slap someone in an iron maiden and toss her overboard to drown over and over again, yikes!!!!

Excellent. Keep up the good work. Bought one of your sweatshirts.

Extremely interesting, thank you.

luv your work!!

The story of the Queens Chamber sarcofacus validate the modern psycological explanation of the working of the mind when we look at stuff. If we expect to see something it may well show up and other stuff won't be registred - which is also why when making a search for something or somebody have the search team walk the same area from opposite directions. You see something else when doing the second walk. ;)

The pyramid roof appearing at 0:36 is displaying a sag caused by erosion and even by missing stones, those that have fallen down to the ground. This falling stone phenomenon should be taken seriously as stones might fall en masse sooner or later and tourists might be hurt.

Excellent discussion 👍

Brien Foerster has been putting out some interesting videos and lectures about Egypt too. I've been a fan of Ancient Architects for years and Matt steered me to check out History for Granite. Very interesting material.......very interesting. What I most like about Matt is he updates his previous videos and hypothesizes as more information becomes available......that says a lot. History for Granite........good work, very good work.

I liked Forester's video walkthroughs but had to turn the audio off after he drones on about the predynastic nonsense. He thinks all the carved granite in Egypt is predynastic or something, makes no sense.

Brien Forester has been around the world documenting ancient sites. I don't believe he's a used car salesman. Most of what he hypothesizes is opinion I agree......but at least he has an opinion. Gather all the information you can, draw your own conclusions, and seek as many sources as you can. I do. I'm very critical when it comes to being convinced. Peace out.

Fantastic thanks man very interesting 👍

Great video. Well done Sir

Fantastic. Thank you.

Is there any way to use ground-penetrating radar or satellite imagery to hint at what lays below the ground for the entire site around the Great Pyramid?

So fascinating. 👌
