The Mystery of the Lost Pyramid of Abu Rawash I SLICE HISTORY | FULL DOCUMENTARY
Buried under the sand for a long time, one needs to climb uphill and take sometimes uncharted path to discover one of the best-kept secrets of the pharaoh dynasties. Here, Egyptologists believe there once stood a perfect pyramid that was the tomb of pharaoh Djedefre. A pyramid hidding a pit 20m deep along with a huge passage going deep inside the building. Djedefre’s pyramid in Abu Rawash remains a key element to understand the secrets of Egyptian architects. Experts consider this pyramid - now only 12m high - a unique site. A monument torn open, that looks like a work in progress. As if time had stopped. A treasure that can be studied from every possible angle.

The Pyramids were built at least 12,000 to 25,000 years ago, that's just on erosion patterns alone.

@@charlesbingham I follow Hawaa since at least 93, and for me was the great discoverer. Then came the infamous National Geographic documentary of 2002, in 2003 I went to Egypt first time. I watched and I heard opinions. Then came internet , where his arrogant, bossy and irrational manners weren't hide by his Bosses in the US. 2011? and the super dubious story of Tut's Ushabties , apparently stolen from the main Cairo Museum. Many revelations from the press about his interviews and lectures ( you know he didn't graduated in Egyptology?), then I went to Luxor in 2014 just to see what he made of the Karnak Temple PLAZA, in front of the gates: a major economic operation that wasn't functioning at all at the time. After a while I've found many sites on the net which corrected his views especially History for Granite. Meanwhile I've read this expensive book of a French Archaeologist and Lehner, about the RED Sea Papyri, and I was astonished about how much assumptions of his own were present, It was almost reading fiction.Let's not comment about his Complete Pyramids and the big one of 2017 which is full of errors ( some discovered by myself, and this is just preposterous). Here we are, just the tip of the Iceberg, seen I could go on and on. And the research of the Great Pyramids shafts? Exausted with that horrific docu, which has shown us Hawass as TV celebrity, not was expected to be by eager people of knowledge. I ve told you the minimum of what I could tell and remember about this servant of Mubarak and the US interests in the Middle East. Lehner is the other disgrace of Egyptology, . too long story to go on...

At time mark 19:42, you say "Khufu" but actually that is an image of Snefru, his father.
Apparently, entire face statues of Djedefre exist in museums in Germany, Paris, Switzerland, and images can be found on the internet. Yet, this video chose a half head. Why not show a statue of Djedefre's entire face?
How many times did he say “Thanks to photogrammetry” ?
Great stuff, thanks for sharing this interesting development....only thing i didn't like was the occasional Dr "i love my own voice" Hawas input which is sadly difficult to avoid given the subject matter. I just read the post beneath and agree completely, seems its not just me.
They were better stone masons than any person today, it's a lost art, not only exacting the blocks by hand but they had ingenious ways of moving them

In the first 10 minutes he asks, "But what did it look like?" a few times. Made me work, but I'm guessing it may have looked something like a pyramid.
Almost 50 minutes long but doesn't answer some of the main questions, why is this pyramid associated with Djedefre? How do we know it was a full pyramid? What did the Romans do with the stones? Oh and when Mr. wanna be Indiana Jones Hawas and gang shows up, you know it's gonna be an unstimulating, biased snooze fest
Throughly Enjoyed this marvellous conversation. Many Thanks ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Notoriously dubious at best Zahi HawAss & Mark Lehner.. yeah I can’t stomach their arrogant nonsense.
I find it hard to believe all that is said here. The video, however, is very good. Thanks for that. 🙈🙉🙊 😎 🇺🇸
First they say theres nothing left of the pyramid, then they go on to say djefere wanted to be different and put a "burial chamber" down low instead of high up. But how do we know there werent other chambers as well
If romans wanted the granite... how does it explain the pyramid being almost non-existant when the core is made out of stone? Why steal the stone? Have we considered that maybe the pyramid was not finished? Are there any inscryptions in the burial chamber that confirm this was Djefre's? ... I mean, I just don't see it... I'm sure there may be more arguments supporting these theories, but they're not explained in this documentary.
Very interesting documentary, thanks. Shame the comments section attracts so many pyramidiots.

Surely here's a good example to study pyramid construction, since this one is mostly demolished. Why not now totally deconstruct the remaining ruin for evidence of how things were done?
Why do you keep saying tomb and burial chamber, has there ever been a body found inside any pyramid? No, not a single one.

25:38 they didn't use ramps... The construction of the ramp would be more work than the pyramid... The pyramids were built easily and the "stones" were not cut lifted or moved, they were made IN PLACE just like we use concrete they used geopolymer and poured the "stones" in situe. This is why the bucket, sometimes called a handbag, is so prominent in ancient depictions. They used geopolymer. 33:47 pause and LOOK at the stucco coating the brick on the right side.

How are they tombs when no bodies have been found in them?
Ignorance is evil and dark in all dimensions ‼️
I'm not photogrammetry too photogrammetry sure, but photogrammetry I think they used photogrammetry. Photogrammetry.
Didn't Khufu have a subterranean chamber that, according to research, was abandoned and replaced with upper chambers? How do we know that Djedefre didn't have upper chambers like his father's?
Djefre did not invent the tomb being underground- Djoser, from the previous dynasty (3rd) built the tomb underground!!! Khufu is the exception, not Djefre.
Don't you love the family dispute theory

Zahi Hawas has the absolutely worst accent I’ve ever heard. I can’t stand hearing him talk. He’s also an archeological tyrant, so that definitely adds to it
This doesn't make sense . It look to me this pyramid was a work in progress . They said when they discovered this the slipway was full of rubble ?. Ok , but most of the rubble would weigh huge amounts . it would have been harder to collapse the pyramid than build it . To me it looks like they dug underground , also so many levels up . plus the amount of debris doesn't make sense . there would be far more if the pyramid was completed . Ok the romans are said to have robbed some of the stones for their sites . but still doesn't add up . Plus if the romans required so much stone , why didn't they steel it from Giza .
This pyramid goes deep into the ground. All pyramid have the same structure. The hole Mountain is the pyramid.

Turned this video off because I couldn’t listen to the narrator say “farrow” anymore.
It was faulty and no longer worked for its purpose so they reused materials for a new pyramid.
That’s why it perhaps blew up. Short cuts don’t always work.

The great pyramid of Giza was sealed during Gefres' lifetime. If indeed Kufu built it, he would have had it sealed when he was, supposedly buryed in it. Gefre would not have any way of knowing how it looked inside. Besides, you said early on in the video that nothing written has come down to us from him. So why do you attribute it to him? You turn supposition into a belief system that has absolutely no merit. What really amazes me is that Egyptologists, not scientists, attribute such advanced engineering to people barely out of the stone age by only a few generations. That's nuts!
Hawass should be fired
There's only one complete pyramid? Well at least someone cleaned out all of the crap... So somebody went to the trouble of bringing all of the stone up there, constructed over those wide holes in the ground, then someone came along and deconstructed it, without it all falling down into those substructure areas? Not likely. Where are the big @ss stones that would have spanned as ceiling pieces?
