Yep. Totally agree

The stones aren't uniform on any side. They're made to fit. The small stone are not actually small, but turned inward to grab the supporting structure along the hips.

Now if many stone masons were originally brought in to answer the puzzle of the pyramids construction this question might have been solved by now.

»In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet?
And he answered, No.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye?
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
He saith unto them, Come and see.
They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
And he brought him to Jesus.
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water.
And they filled them up to the brim.
And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare it.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
But he spake of the temple of his body.
When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.«

Astounding work! Your attention to detail opened a whole new vision of our ancient world!
Thank you!

probably hawass does'nt know the info in this clip

They are still thinking the smooth case stones were made by wielding those round rocks and bronze chisels.
It is a waste of time if they don't even face the obvious facts.

@@Thephilpw99 It amazes me that so many people think Granite is somehow unable to be worked with ancient tools... You know what material is harder than Granite? Sand... Of which I believe the ancient Egyptians had plenty of... They still carve hemispherical stone bowls for tourists out of granite using sand and a rotating hand tool. This idea that ancient peoples were not able to make their monolithic structures without some outside help is deeply rooted in racism. Check your sources.

​@@SmilingBandit77 yep. It's a slap in the face to ancient Egyptians who were master craftsman. Generations of masons spending their whole lives shaping rock. I'm sure a lot of people dedicated their entire life to one project back then.

@@SmilingBandit77 Oh, so now you have a new theory about how Egyptians cut and make those granite statues? Sand is the answer ?! Wonderful ! Why don't you submit this to those famous Egyptologists and let them verify it? Since your theory has scientific credentials and they have to accept it, right ?
Too bad I don't see them accepting this theory either.

@@wormhole331 Oh, really ? So when we see a narrow cut deep into the granite then someone spent his entire life just made that narrow cut in the wrong way ?

With your work I can easily see that there could've been long wooden planks set up in a way that allows for a logical progression upwards on all sides of the pyramid.
If you could picture the lower red stones WITHOUT the upper stones there during building, you can picture them having people in place on wooden planks & passing blocks to one another in a person to person chain where they can have a simple scaffolding-like wooden plank system in place using the holes in the stones to run the wooden platform holders from falling down the pyramid.
The wood would be shaped to fit the hole totally, giving HIGH stability to use that hole as a "peg" to use to attach the wooden planks to as you build.
Then when they got to the top, they could work backwards BACK down the Pyramid, filling in those stones holes, sealing them off from the naked eye & covering up the ENTIRE simple wooden scaffolding-type platform that they used.
The smaller stones would make the job way EASIER to close off & you simply dismantle it on your way down & boom you're done!
You're imo ABSOLUTELY correct about this.

I think the idea they used wood scaffolding is very plausible, some sturdy timbers inserted under a few courses of pyramid core would be plenty strong enough to be used for hauling the casing stones up. I've seen other theories that they'd just throw ropes over the top of the pyramid to pull the casing stones up but it seems it would still be necessary to have timber affixed to the side of the pyramid to protect the already finished casing stones.
Certainly more plausible than the sand ramps that seem to be generally accepted.

@@netyr4554 In other videos I've seen where they used timbers to hold up 3 multi-ton stone blocks that were the final stones dropped to seal off the entrance of a pyramid.
So on their way out they potentially cut ropes which dropped the gigantic stones held up by the timbers. They've found those timbers still in place on the outskirts of where the sealing stones came through the middle of.
Another guy jumped on my case with my theory saying the numbers don't add up to hold the weight of the stones but I think he's the one who's wrong here.
You can build really strong structures around the timbers running out of those slanted holes. I'm talking about big ass timbers shaped to fit those holes PERFECTLY that stick out from those holes from which they attach other planks etc to build upwards to shore up & strengthen the ENTIRE structure of the scaffolding-like builds as you move upwards in your progress.
I'm convinced this is pretty much how they did it after seeing this video. It makes perfect sense to me why those smaller holes are there & explains how they could've gotten up & back down the Pyramid & erased their steps.
Another guy said "Why wouldn't we have found evidence of this?"
Lol. Wood DOESN'T last the test of time that well & it would've been dismantled after the Pyramid was built so for the complete life of the Pyramid ZERO of those wooden timbers would've been around. They probably recycled them as well being able to reshape many of them into other constructing projects etc.

The casing stones were put on *last* though. How would that explain how the structure was built?
That's like saying if you could figure out how I put siding on a house you'd know how I built it.
What am I missing?

@@joeblow8982 The casing stones are the same process in reverse with much more finely crafted stones but as illustrated here clearly- not as exact as is generally perceived.

Most of the original casingstones are to be located in Cairo as bottom layers in a rebuild after a large earthquake in the 1500's I understand .
The original purpose of the pyramids , was lost to those who inhabit Egypt , as all of the megalithic stone work was completed by a previous civilisation , which is now lost in the sands of time , mislabeled by modern archeologists , who cannot yet explain much of what they see , and how it was made .

@@davidarundel6187 YEA, people don't construct mega projects just for a fashion statement, as you said the (original purpose) is lost to us.

@@davidarundel6187 Totally agree with this statement. I don’t think we will ever know the mechanics of how they were constructed but surely pulleys and scaffolding doesn’t explain the magnificent structures in Egypt and around the world.

Boo-urns!

wonder if they had lego (and wonder if lego do pyramids !)

Interesting. Makes sense.

that's what I think! Didn't see this till after I posted😊

If so why are there only one "gap" per course ? Doesn't it take two "gaps/posts" to hold a plank? Also there is no alignment to each gap other that makes sense.

The Romans also did this. But I'm wondering a variant. There's not enough to be a scaffolding so the holes are more likely to be single projecting wooden beams. If they extend securely into the Pyramid (big IF!) they could have served some other purpose for getting the last few stones courses up above the top of any ramp (particularly interesting if you support the internal ramp theory). Either supports for some kind of pulley system or holding a light wooden ramp - if these could be structurally sound enough to hold the weight of stone blocks (!!!!). Or these beams could have helped bond the ramp to the stone structure to make it more stable. Perhaps they even filled most the holes with the smaller angles stones as they dismantled the ramp but left a few up the top where they couldn't be seen. If they had an internal ramp getting them, say, 2/3 of the way up then built up the top 1/3 with a smaller ramp - getting the outer casing on is going to be one of the trickier tasks and these could be a hint of how they did it. Alternatively - if you're right on the building order, and if the stones are inserted from the top course by course not from the outside later - could the angle have been used with the high vertical weight of the next course to, like a wedge, push the other stones horizontally to shrink any minor gaps between stones.

That's an interesting idea.
You don't really need to leave gaps, though. You could achieve the same with small stones that are tapered inwards. You'd slot them into their holes once you removed the scaffolding and dress their surface to be flush with how far they slide in.
@@28704joe The gaps don't necessarily need to be in the same course. After all, you'd want some method to ramp up the pyramid, which wooden scaffolding could do. In which case those planks might very well have been slightly sloped.
What I would very much expect to see if this was true is vertically stacked gaps (at a vertical distance of 1.5 to 4 meters), in order to be able to cantilever the support beams. Supporting a cantilevered beam from only a hole at the bottom contact point would be possible, but it would leave the beam at the top free to tilt/slide side to side.

I wish they'd have painted such things pink or blue or red or something. There's quite a few repairs all over the place and I'd find nice to know what exactly I was looking at. Yeah it would mess with the look but so be it.

@@AveragePicker That is why they are turned 90 degrees.
All the other stones are placed horizontally, so they placed all the new repair vertically.
So that people who know off the work done, can easy see what is old, but at the same time, you do not have xxxxxx angry tourists yelling at them for destroying history with ugly paint blots around.

@eilertv Those might be turned but I was meaning in general. There's quite a few places you wouldn't know...which I know is partly the point...unless you were told. I personally like to know, this is what it was, but this part is "recreated" or repaired.

Hi builder here and I totally agree. Besides lining up corners flush with the lower course corners with straight edges of sorts.? And then filling the middle, controlling a twist as you lay more would be super difficult. If you were up there and eyeing the last say ten courses and they weren’t straight, there would be stuff all you could correct it with.

Don't understand why you still call it khafre,s pyramid total bs as well nobody knows how its build and never will what a joke you can put a sugar layer over your findings and close up view its just a theory and that's all it will

With the odd, well deserved dig at those who've held back the progress😂👌

I think it will be a bricklayer to be the one to fully decode the casing stones.

Great clue, Rick. I've seen these "half-bricks" in old buildings and always wondered why they were there.

@@HistoryforGRANITE right

I strongly believe everyone has the potential to contribute if they have access to data and imagery.

They didn't built it

and it didn’t use to be desert.

This is absolutely the case for The Great Pyramid. I saw an analysis once where the height of each course was mapped. They are all different because they were excavated from the quarry along bedding planes (the "natural layers or seams" you talk about). These bedding planes, with occasionally taller courses, are visible in the quarries. This saves a ton of work!
Also the stones in the middle of the face are chosen to be slightly smaller than the ones on the edge, so that the pyramid is curved slightly upward from the centre to the corners like a dish.
If I remember right, I saw this in "The Riddle Of The Pyramids" by Kurt Mendelssohn.

Makes perfect sense. Liquids naturally level off and form flat surfaces. Since the stone was in a liquid state before it chemically changed into a solid. One layer at a time with the annual flooding and silt deposits. Watershed areas have flood intervals that vary over time and occasionally there is a really big flood every 200 years or so. So the layers of stone are essentially just like tree rings recording a history of the rainfall in the watershed zone.
Makes it all the more impressive how they customized the granite blocks on all faces. Those aren't natural fault lines. The precision in multi-axis three dimensional space is screaming milling machine. At the very least a template and complex jig.
The pyramids are interesting, the surveying work is beyond the structural challenge. The precision demonstrated over very large distances indicate a very distant sighting target with fine optical precision. The alignment of monuments around the world is a whole other challenge above map projection. Rocket science level of engineering knowledge. What about the meter being a consistent measurement and based on the actual diameter of the earth? How did they measure the earth?
These buildings are just the clue. The tip of the information iceberg full of knowledge. They even reflected the stars on purpose to mark a specific point in time. It's something they put all this effort into for a reason. The stone carving was just to preserve that much more important knowledge.
Why would they do this? Because that information is fundamentally important for our survival. It's not supposed to be a joy to discover. It's a warning and an effort to preserve what was lost and prevent that type of loss from happening again.

Wow thank you for that info, I never really knew that’s how quarries work, but it makes total sense and I see how that would be the obvious reason why stone layers could have been different thicknesses when there was no structural need for them to be.

@@brendanwood1540 The limestone would have been made in an ancient sea, not by flooding, and by ancient we are talking millions of years.

How did they get the stone from. Ohio? :)

Would the north or the south side experience more extremes in temperature and therefore undergo more expansion and retraction of the stones?

Is the Angle of the last block, the same angle as the pyramid itself. If so one might confer that they set a certain tapered side on all blocks in the "batch" and used the same block in different ways.

@@saywhat8966 and also the expansion and contraction from moisture over that long a time span 🤔

inserted from above, or taped in from the side inwards ?

@@highpath4776 could be from above and lowered with taking out sand from underneath, but after having a second look now i feel like from the inside "platform" creating the outer face and then "junk rock" placed in the center 🤔 so thinking the outside wall is made then the center is placed.

Sadly my angles are not perfectly straight, and so the absolute value for sizes is off. The diagram is accurate for stones in relation to each other, but not precise enough to compare stones far apart.

There are mathematical geometric algorithms which can resolve fractions of a pixel and provide xyz location coordinates from a single flyby video. I dont know how much drone footage exists and what the camera native resolution was, but the existing flyby might be enough to resolve everything to 1 inch.
One pyramid inch, of course! 😅
The mathematics are super complicated and iterative in nature, meaning it might take a week of processing on a modern PC to derive the points.

Nah, we can build 'em way better now than they could even dream of. I mean, there's even a Bass Pro Shop in a pyramid bigger than this one. Any competent modern engineer could design and figure out how to build a proper stone pyramid. We know hundreds of ways to do it. The thing we don't know is exactly which way they actually did it out of the many possibilities.

This video may go down in history as having contributed to a major breakthrough.

Make a lot of sense. If the builders used those holes as scaffolding anchor points, they couldn't put the filler stones. When the scaffold was disassembled, they could only put somethings else there, which didn't last for thousands of years.

Scaffolding made of what? Even then sufficient wood was not available. Their boats at that time were made of reeds, not timber.

@@liquidsonly We know they used wooden beams. There are large beams inside at least one of the pyramids. If they were capable fo building the pyramids - I doubt they'd have found it impossible to source some wood if they need it.

@@liquidsonly Exactly, the time when Egypt was full of trees and water, was not at 3000BC. It was much earlier. That's why I said "builders". Whoever built the pyramid, must have had plenty of timber to construct a very tall scaffold.

there are pre-pyramidal relics also in the upper Egypt area. They are so big in stones, that they dont compare to any pyramid. The built structures are just like you would play with wooden bricks. Squared quadrics. Forming maybe a water enclosed temple, or a cistern system - but they are some 5 or 10 meter below current ground level. Its said that no historic cares for them - no inscriptions, no depictions, nothing of creatorship signs to what i noticed about - so its not "thrilling", even if that all might be proof of skilled humans far beyond in age of what the pyramids were. And remember, that the early pyramids were built from clay formed bricks or similar (and did erode noticeable over time). And then there comes something that proofs to be much older, much more solid and durable, and no one cares about. And dont forget some said to be multiple (>100?) of kilometers of underground water canals that no one cares of and tells of - despite the early modern times explorers of Egypt.

Bobby, there are sure to be many objects of interest in any newly discovered sight, but you may want to keep the whereabouts a secret until appropriate steps are taken to obtain resources necessary to launch an expedition. This could be huge, so be careful who you ask to look at the area.

@@alexanderstohr4198 I care, and I have an idea who may have built them and why they will likely remain forgotten. Are they large stone blocks fit with precision and as solidly built as some of the others we've seen?
