There are many theories on how the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built, including ramps, cranes and aliens. Now, archeologists are suggesting that the Egyptians harnessed the power of water to float the huge stone blocks hundreds of feet in the air.

#Egypt #Pyramids #History
They just exploited mechanical advantage, like hydraulics, multiplication of forces etc. For the step pyramid. The great pyramid though…. that’s a different game entirely.
Le bron James is not a king. There is only one King we should all focus on and his name is Jesus Christ
Soooo the Minecraft technique
I dont know, those pyramids look like stone to me.
This sounds stupid just admit that we have no idea and that knowledge was lost to us.
Researchers is in confusion arc XD. Confusion of the highest orda.😂
Just looking at that so called “expert” made me dismiss his negativity. The ancient Egyptians were far from intelligent than we are. They built those structures 5,000 – 6,000+ years ago and we still can’t figure it out. And when & if we do, it will be a very easy methodology. Also, why not hydraulics? The already know that the Nile was far closer to the pyramids then than it is now. That, and we already know that they cut canals from the Nile to the pyramids to transport the rock. The water is moving already anyway, why not use its attributes!
Is that the same research that claims there was a ark thats never been produced.
Thay used all there trees and water pressure is a basic form of both building of locks for boats and equipment and other the biggist thing history leaves out is the romans stripped egypt of all of its preshus metals and melted them down for there own use so any evedince of mechanical machines were wiped out completely the same things we use today were used back then on basic levels…yall are morons
Stoopid idea ppl don’t get it we got help from them
The best theory that the pyramids were built before the Egyptians came along
Also mainstream archeologists are a joke. They refuse to take evidence that is outside their beliefs. Its pathetic
No……… sorry.never. it was aliens .8 sides …it has 8 sides only visible on solstice.
High pressure water jetting requires a computor, water supply, power for pressurization, water capture, filtration, and returns. Plus, it creates sediment deposits, mud, and a lot of it. It’s highly unlikely that one would water jet all of the Stones for a pyramid.
No one cares about lebron james
Humans landed on the moon in 1969, but we cannot figure out how a bunch of stones were placed on top of each other?
cant have electricity with out arabs cant have an audience with out mexicans pyrimids.
This is obviously wrong – the pyramids are build with stone. Even if they froze the water, the blocks would have quickly melted. 😊
So it’s world news to say: it’s water, no it’s not water, case closed. They could have mentioned Ben’s research instead because it’s actually news.
Black folks know they was built!!! Why you asking an Anglo 🥴
How about explaining the logistics of the project while you’re at it too? A project schedule would be helpful. How long did it take to float stone into place? The Great Pyramid was built using 2.3 million 2.5 ton cut stones. After you cut and transport those stones you need to install those stones. While constructing with those stones the shafts, chambers and sarcophagus need to be installed too. Then the interior painting, carving hieroglyphs and finishing using whatever light sources. Additionally outside was finished with polished marble. That’s a lot of work to do in twenty years. I know they are theorizing the stepped pyramid but it should relate to the later pyramids.
Wat a waste of time
Around the world nobody likes Egypt… Dried country
Water pressure?
No dude it’s easy.
Float.
They had to build something to try and keep them above water meanwhile the floodwaters were open. Destroying all life under the heavens.
Genesis 6:17
Science is beautiful because it allows super intelligent people that God created to invent things that may help others. However, when it comes to history, Leave it to our Heavenly Father.
Archeologists should stop pretending they are engineers……
Ancient Astronaut theorists say NO.
Aliens
when did we start measuring in lebrons
i have never seen a man who looks more like a professor of Egyptology, haha
Aliens
I have an idea how about don’t do a story, unless you have some sort of new information! Don’t act like you found the way when you have nothing you have no story here.
So water pressure lifted and placed 5000 pound blocks? Lol
There was a good doc I saw with the theory and plausible evidence they used a shaft from the nile that was closed up and filled with water , it lead to the base of the pyramid and using animal skins as balloons, they introduced the blocks inti the shaft at the base, where it would guide the heavy blocks up the shaft via buoyancy. In the middle of the pyramid base a temporary clay tower that was easily reworked where like in this video the blocks would come to and rise through. The blocks themselves were floated along the nile from a quarry downstream where the animal skill ballons were used to travel them. The blocks were also shaped being semi submerged , in pre forms for guidance at the base of the pool. The animals hide skin ballons made maneuvering the huge blocks easy.
So the theory is bogus yet the media runs with the story anyway? Sounds about right
Give it up! You don’t know! Quit spewing out crap after crap and calling it new with nothing substantial at all!
I dont think water erosion means they made it with water, the nile did flood from time to time.
What garbage NBC traitors to the usa
I thought all this stuff was documented on the walls using Egyptian Hieroglyphs
Alien technology is the only reasonable conclusion
This is such an old theory, why is this being proposed as a new idea????
Measuring using Lebron James. Americans will do anything to not learn the metric system lol
👽
What if the pyramids were built underground, and exposed by flood/time/erosion? Wouldn’t that make better sense than the official narrative of ‘slaves’ hauling stones across the desert miles from quarry? Also, this was a lush green land back then
I dont get it. Why does nobody know for sure. The Egyptians back then are smarter than Egyptians today but didnt record anything to tell the future what they did?
That professor of egyptology from Yale looks just like a professor of egyptology from Yale.
With no canal going to site i think your full of it.. lmbo
The water theory is not new because water marks a seen on the stones.
Consider how the Panama canal works to raise and lower ships to varying elevations across compartments. It make sense that the ancient Egyptians floated the blocks from distant places to the construction site, probably using reed rafts.
1:36 I think Colonel Mustard has a point…
this is the most unprofessional, useless piece of news I’ve seen in a long time
They are never going to face the truth and admit dinosaurs were the key in building the pyramids
What a complete nonsense video..nbc stop doing this pls
Most people know already that aliens with sound frequency technology and with the help of the annunaki built these triangles of rock that were used as power generators. The water used were for the workers on hot days when they got dehydrated.
Egyptians didn’t build it. It’s common knowledge by now…
Oh my God, and you think this actually makes more sense? The ancient civilization that has a higher technology, higher intelligence level than us. At 1 point in time before we goot here, could have occupied this planet. You think that’s impossible. But creating a water lift in all these different locations to build these pyramids makes more sense to you. You’re delusional, you’re brainwashed. You’re part of the system now. How large a system this planet wasn’t created for us.And we are not the only ones that ever occupied it and to think that is ridiculous because the time is infinite backwards infinite, There’s more evidence supporting aliens had been here Based on ancient drawings all over the world , but there’s no Hydraulic water lift drawings ever found you think They’d have to draw something like that before they built it . Who is ignoring reality here.
Complete BS could you imagine what that would do foundations? Cantenary curved roads are still the best explanation
I figured it out, but I won’t tell you.
Egyptian are confirmed water benders.
Humans back in the day weren’t lazy, stronger and way more intelligent than us today. Our “advanced” technology didnt help them back in the day.
If only we can truly apply our research efforts to the engineering of the ancient/dynastic/predynastic Egyptians
Interesting!!!!😊😊
Yeah, no, but humans couldn’t do it okay. So he was aliens, plain and simple
How the pyramids are built…lol
How about How tf were the stones cut?
They made a hill. collected rock. Burned rock to melt it. Poured rock into a mold. Dug the dirt out. Never carried or dragged a single block.
Anything but admit anient Africans made it because they were smart! 😂😂😂
THE PYRIMADS WERE THERE BEFOR THE EGYPTIANS…
A series of rope, pulley systems and long logs to roll the stones on is my guess, and as a result, they might have caused the sand build up, because they stripped the ground of trees to build the pyramids. IMO.
I thought we knew this decades ago, it’s simple and obvious
The main question is how did they carved those enormous stones with this without tools ..
If by “water” you mean nephillim giants from Genesis 6 then yes you are correct.
No way they can lift 600 pounds block . Lets just accept the fact there were advanced civilization before us. Those mysterious mega structures still exist to this day are the only ones that survived whatever wiped those advanced civilization.
The first thing that comes into my mind was minecraft for some reason
The hypothesis makes much more sense if during the construction the area was a sort of rainforest jungle type topography. And had not become arid and dry yet.
What an absolute joke!
Who invited Zoro
Anything but aliens haha, the media is always misleading
Sure, these peeps are afraid of Graham Hancock. I’ll stick with him. Nice try though
These are the journalism degrees liberals want you to pay for with your hard-earned tax dollars.
Giants.
WE DO KNOW HOW THEY DID IT. The answer is just so simple no one wants to believe it! They built a canal and floated blocks over. IT’S THAT SIMPlE 😂
Was this video done by a second grader?
Oh, my, god. Just when I thought I had heard all of the theories behind the pyramids, on August 12th of this year of our lord, 2024, people who definitely were not there have the scientific answer to how the pyramids exist. What a time to be alive…
Oh no kidding? There’s just all the water erosion everywhere in that area lol. 🤦🏻♀️
Probably ly used the crown and the power it harnesses with it
600 lbs isnt very much
That’s what your wife said.
So, they still have no idea
If they wanna know how the pyramid was built shouldnt the do a contest
To see who can replecate the pyramids?
they invented concrete is it that hard to beleve?
and they had a bunch of fun with it
ومدت إثيوبيا يديها إلى الله. الرب يسمع صلواتها الدائمة. سد النهضة… لا تعاقبوه فلن يعاقب. كبرياء فرعون سوف يغرق. وسد أسوان.. ينهار فجأة. وسوف ينتهى وجود مصر .
👎🏾thumbs down for mentionin Lebron James 😂 and missed the chance to bring up his wife Savanah 😅😂
Y’all need to stop and just marvel something you will never be able to do y’all love to lie to the public so your narrative will be the only one
i dont know how yall dont think the pharoahs had SLAVES build these things for thousands of years.
I go by the Shaquille System 🇺🇸
The lady asked if they started at the top and worked down. 😆🤣🤡
Thanks for nothing
That’s built with sand
No it wasnt. End of. Saved u watching this drivel.
i cannot believe this they used lebron as a measuring unit. We really are in idiocracy.
When a researcher has facial hair like that, nothing sounds credible.
This is like a Conan O’Brian interview, without the Conan O’Brian, I’m not informed, I have no new knowlegde and everyone who has watched this video is now stupiter.
