2
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:07,574
who were the ancient peoples of the world?
3
00:00:07,907 --> 00:00:10,944
And what did they know?
4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,919
Egyptology tells us that the pyramids was built around 2500BC.
5
00:00:21,254 --> 00:00:25,692
Is there evidence that the pyramids could be much much older?
6
00:00:29,229 --> 00:00:34,768
Has traditional science been able to explain why the pyramids were built?
7
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:38,471
Or is it a puzzle yet to be decoded?

9
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,820
At the geodesic center of the world
10
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:28,855
At the mouth of Nile delta
11
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:32,859
There are pyramids built by an early civilization
12
00:01:32,859 --> 00:01:36,529
clustering at six distinct sites
13
00:01:38,164 --> 00:01:40,200
One pyramid is up mountain
14
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,869
It can be seen from space
15
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:48,341
Curiously, the inside is open to the air
16
00:01:48,341 --> 00:01:50,977
What was its function?
17
00:01:57,650 --> 00:02:02,021
Most people are familiar with the Gaza plateau and the Sphinx
18
00:02:02,021 --> 00:02:05,758
but are not aware of their connection to the other sites
19
00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:12,465
the sites run parallel to the fertile band along the Nile
20
00:02:14,901 --> 00:02:17,270
Some sites are unknown
21
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:19,606
Isolated in the middle of the desert
22
00:02:23,576 --> 00:02:25,078
Other sites are known
23
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:27,947
But only partially excavated
24
00:02:36,022 --> 00:02:39,659
The monumental nature of the sites is hypnotic
25
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:43,062
and stimulates our wonder and curiosity
26
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:55,542
All the sites show evidence of sophisticated engineering
27
00:02:56,276 --> 00:03:00,813
Advance technology and monumental architecture
28
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:10,156
Could the ancients had the understanding of a superior science
29
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:18,831
Is it conceivable that there is a correlation between sky and ground
30
00:03:24,671 --> 00:03:28,975
Why do we understand so little about the Egyptians?
31
00:03:29,008 --> 00:03:32,178
We are told their technology was primitive
32
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:37,050
Yet the temple walls show the ancients making precise calculations
33
00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:41,354
There is plenty of evidence that paints a fuller picture
34
00:03:41,354 --> 00:03:43,756
Let’s go and see for ourselves
35
00:04:22,295 --> 00:04:27,333
So here we are at the location of Abu Rowash which is a fascinating site in that it’s up mountain
36
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:31,704
This is a pyramid like no other
37
00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:33,139
Open to the air
38
00:04:36,509 --> 00:04:40,480
This site really debunks the theory of
39
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,651
pulling stones with rope to get them up on top of the pyramid in that
40
00:04:44,651 --> 00:04:48,454
the stone would have to come up mountain before it went up the pyramid
41
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:58,331
This site is largely isolated and abandoned and many people don’t even know it’s here
42
00:04:58,331 --> 00:05:02,235
There is no booth, there is no guard, there is nobody up here
43
00:05:02,502 --> 00:05:07,640
And I think it’s meant to be largely forgotten because it really comes head to head
44
00:05:07,674 --> 00:05:10,143
with the theory of the way the pyramids were built
45
00:05:16,949 --> 00:05:20,620
When you look around the site, you see evidence of small stones that are newer
46
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:24,123
medium stones and then the ancient large stones
47
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:34,567
At Abu Rowash, we can see evidence of machine tool marks
48
00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:39,072
we know the granite came from distant quarries
49
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:45,311
but polished concave slabs of stone could not possibly have been made with chisels
50
00:05:45,311 --> 00:05:50,917
This is not the only example of machine tooling
51
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:55,588
We are now got to go inside of the pyramid
52
00:05:55,621 --> 00:05:58,157
Walking along this ledge
53
00:05:58,157 --> 00:06:04,997
and what we will see is there is a passage way here
54
00:06:04,997 --> 00:06:09,969
that goes down into the pyramid even though it’s open as exposed
55
00:06:09,969 --> 00:06:11,471
so let’s go down
56
00:06:11,471 --> 00:06:25,351
If you stand here all the way through this area
57
00:06:25,351 --> 00:06:27,820
this stone seems to be blackened
58
00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:31,190
and it’s evidence of high heat of some kind
59
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:35,528
I tend to think this was going on during the ancient times
60
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:40,733
but it’s still very curious it is a pit here and stones obviously broken
61
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,336
and I think they were heating something
62
00:06:58,284 --> 00:07:01,487
This is the northern point of the band of peace
63
00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:06,826
It’s the top pyramid in a series of 22 pyramids that go from north to south
64
00:07:06,826 --> 00:07:09,061
so we are now north at the Giza Plateau
65
00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:17,370
As you can see from this map of the band of peace
66
00:07:17,403 --> 00:07:20,740
All these sites trace the shape of the River Nile
67
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:26,579
A new theory suggests that the Nile once flow right in front of the pyramids
68
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:31,150
and the causeways of all the cites touched the river itself
69
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:37,523
Considering that the Nile is the lifeblood of Egypt
70
00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:42,495
Just as rivers all around the world are vital to the cultures living by them
71
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:51,471
it seems obvious that important sacred structures would be built directly on the river not eight miles away from it
72
00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:59,645
How long would it take this river to migrate eight miles
73
00:07:59,712 --> 00:08:08,821
looking at geological time provides yet another clue to finding out when these magnificent structures may have been built
74
00:08:20,933 --> 00:08:27,039
this probably was a sea bed and that the mouth of the Nile started here and that moved along
75
00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:30,710
in front of all these pyramids
76
00:08:30,743 --> 00:08:41,053
One of the features of each the sites in this area is that you can see the pyramids of the next site from the original
77
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:45,892
From here the volume of the Great Pyramid in the second pyramid look the same
78
00:08:45,925 --> 00:08:59,906
When we get to the next site we see the volumes are obviously different
79
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:41,781
It’s hard not to be amazed by the pyramids of the Giza Plateau
80
00:09:41,781 --> 00:09:45,318
The great pyramid covers 13 acres
81
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:51,424
It was constructed of 2.3 millions stones weighing up to two hundred tons each
82
00:09:51,424 --> 00:10:01,400
They must have had a level of engineering science that it was unbelievable compared to what we have now
83
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:07,540
Indeed they managed to have all the of which they based on this so called cosmism
84
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:09,642
which lasts for three thousand years
85
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:12,945
no other civilizations has done this
86
00:10:16,415 --> 00:10:19,785
Why is ancient Egypt still so mysterious to us?
87
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:23,055
Are we looking in the wrong place?
88
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:27,393
or we looking in the wrong way?
89
00:10:27,393 --> 00:10:33,699
We look at everything through out socio-cultural context
90
00:10:33,699 --> 00:10:36,736
and so it’s very difficult for us to look through that
91
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:40,239
and see another possibility for how life could have been
92
00:10:40,239 --> 00:10:48,114
and we also have to be willing to depart from out own traditional ways of looking at things
93
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:51,584
that’s what’s really stopping us from understanding the ancients
94
00:10:56,022 --> 00:11:01,060
We may need to reconsider what we’ve been told and what we think we’ve seen
95
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:18,177
For example, instead of thinking that Egyptians put the causeway at an angle because the Sphinx was in the way
96
00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:20,379
We could consider another reason
97
00:11:20,479 --> 00:11:28,621
At Summer Solstice, the Sun rises along the causeway in front of the Great pyramid and move across the sky
98
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:33,726
Setting between the second and the Great pyramid making it hotter in summer
99
00:11:33,726 --> 00:11:43,636
In the winter, the sun rises in line with the Grand causeway by the second pyramid and sets between the second and third pyramids
100
00:11:43,636 --> 00:11:48,674
making a short trajectory result in cooler weather
101
00:11:49,241 --> 00:11:54,547
It appears the causeways deliberately pointing towards the Rising Sun
102
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:57,583
on the summer and winter solstices
103
00:11:57,583 --> 00:12:03,522
Orthodox egyptologists insist that the pyramids were tombs
104
00:12:03,522 --> 00:12:08,160
Of all the wild theories floating around the pyramids
105
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:15,468
the actual wildest is the one that is accepted without question by all egyptologists which is that pyramids served as tombs
106
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:19,572
All of those concepts about it being a tomb are nonsense
107
00:12:19,605 --> 00:12:25,845
Of all the theories with zero evidence that one has zero square evidence
108
00:12:25,845 --> 00:12:31,717
At fact I don’t even think there is good evidence that it ever was a tomb for any Pharaoh whatsoever
109
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,620
I mean it’s obvious they don’t find mummies in the pyramids
110
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:37,623
There is no question even bring up this debatable
111
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:44,730
the Egyptians themselves in at least one tablet and one papyrus
112
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:50,436
tell the story that ancient Egypt is much much older than the Egyptologists think it is
113
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:56,475
Where the great pyramids sits I believe is on a much much more ancient cite
114
00:12:56,475 --> 00:13:02,414
Under the Great pyramid to this day is the descending passage in the subterranean chamber
115
00:13:02,448 --> 00:13:11,690
I think there is very good evidence that was carved out and what we would call pre-dynastic times that goes back to very ancient day
116
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:20,366
Based on the hieroglyphics that we have the second pyramids was in many ways regarded as primary pyramid on the Giza Plateau
117
00:13:20,366 --> 00:13:26,138
Actually from many angles on the Giza Plateau, that second pyramid is dominant
118
00:13:26,138 --> 00:13:34,914
The structure underneath it are the base of it was older than even the Great pyramid
119
00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:39,051
There was a platform type of structure where the second pyramids is now
120
00:13:39,051 --> 00:13:42,822
You can see from the platform that it is larger than the pyramid
121
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:47,493
Suggesting that was once something else there
122
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:55,501
Around the base is a ring of granite, red granite and on at least what I have seen in Egypt
123
00:13:55,568 --> 00:14:00,673
this is something was often used around the bases on structures
124
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:07,713
when they were renewing them when they were refurnishing them they were taking older structures reenergizing them
125
00:14:07,913 --> 00:14:10,716
rebuilding them
126
00:14:10,716 --> 00:14:14,820
it is demonstrable in that second pyramid that is very definitely built in at least two stages
127
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:18,524
the third built in two or more stages
128
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:24,830
I mean we really don’t at the moment have anything to even provisionally to date with the them but with Sphinx we do
129
00:14:24,830 --> 00:14:37,409
Looking at the weathering on the Sphinx and the Sphinx enclosure that weathering was clearly formed by runoff from rain from precipitation
130
00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:46,185
we have the severe weather in which ninety-nine percent at the geologists at the world who heard are evidence concur that
131
00:14:46,185 --> 00:14:53,325
it is indeed water weathering and precipitation induced, so it has to have been done by heavy rainfalls in the distant past
132
00:14:53,325 --> 00:14:56,228
the question then is how distant was that past?
133
00:14:56,228 --> 00:15:00,566
That runoff is coming from up on the plateau
134
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:05,571
following up the plateau northwest sphinx you ultimately hit the great pyramid
135
00:15:05,638 --> 00:15:11,110
The natural topography as water would run down the back of the Sphinx enclosure
136
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:16,515
and that’s where you see the greatest amount of water precipitation weathering
137
00:15:16,515 --> 00:15:21,820
to have that surface hydrology, you need to have the plateau relatively intacted
138
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:28,160
Now if you look, currently, there is a big quarry interrupting the water flow
139
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:37,870
So we know that water flow was causing that weathering had to occur before that quarry existed
140
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:46,979
That quarry is well known egyptologically by inscriptions exist there that there was a quarry used when the Great pyramid was built
141
00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:55,988
So that means that the Sphinx must have been carved earlier the water was still running down the back of the enclosure wall
142
00:15:55,988 --> 00:16:06,065
and causing that weathering before that quarry was a quarry which means that occurs before the Great Pyramid was built
143
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:11,236
Basically we have right there disrupted traditional chronology
144
00:16:11,236 --> 00:16:18,110
Even the Egyptologist agree the Giza plateau has a unified grand plan
145
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:23,315
How does the Great Pyramid display of evidence of this correlation?
146
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:31,857
Take do you think when it was when we called partially built it was used as astronomical observatory
147
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:43,669
The grand gallery perfectly lining north south opening to the southern sky where made a wonderful observational to perceptually looking up in the sky
148
00:16:43,669 --> 00:16:52,511
We have shots pointing for certain stars, We know the stars, because they are mentioned in the texts
149
00:16:52,511 --> 00:17:00,285
We, therefore, can use precessional stone to place the stars back in alignment with these monuments
150
00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:02,388
in this case, the pyramids, for example
151
00:17:02,388 --> 00:17:09,261
The great pyramid stands exactly at the center of the largest land mass on the planet
152
00:17:09,261 --> 00:17:14,733
Yet, we had no idea of the position of the continents until 600 years ago
153
00:17:14,767 --> 00:17:18,103
How could they have known?
154
00:17:18,137 --> 00:17:21,940
I have showed the Giza
155
00:17:21,940 --> 00:17:25,878
If interpreted being as Orion’s belt counterpart
156
00:17:26,011 --> 00:17:37,222
then the layout of the three pyramids as the arch, the ground meridian would fit a celestial meridian on these stars at 10500BCE
157
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:43,295
They reach the very lowest point in the up and down rue
158
00:17:43,295 --> 00:17:43,996
Looking Easts, you had the Sphinx looking at the constellation Leo
159
00:17:48,967 --> 00:18:00,379
So you have two major monuments, on the same site, locking at the constellations that are representative of these features, on the ground, in the sky
160
00:18:00,379 --> 00:18:03,248
We have evidence they did it.
161
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:05,684
The alignments were there.
162
00:18:05,684 --> 00:18:12,057
Now, could the pyramid builders have been aware of the alignments?
163
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,493
Why not?
164
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:23,235
With this evidence, it would seem it’s time we think what we have been told
165
00:19:00,272 --> 00:19:00,305
Here we are, at Abu Garab
166
00:19:01,406 --> 00:19:06,044
because we can see there is no road, no ticket booth, no nothing, this is very isolated area
167
00:19:06,044 --> 00:19:08,714
And we are going to walk through a mango grove
168
00:19:08,714 --> 00:19:16,955
Here we can get a camel and ride south from Giza plateau
169
00:19:16,955 --> 00:19:20,993
You’d come up the sand dune and see these other pyramids
170
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:25,731
So as we approach our peri, we see a pile of rubble
171
00:19:25,731 --> 00:19:31,770
And really what it is, is the base of the largest obelisk that ever was in Egypt
172
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:44,883
Here we come up the platform of the crystal altar. You can see that it’s made of quartz
173
00:19:44,883 --> 00:19:51,857
Look up close here. There is little bits of crystals that coming right off it
174
00:19:51,857 --> 00:20:04,703
And then, we have a laser cut six foot circle in the middle and then these points is huge slabs, these pointing to the four cardinal directions
175
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:09,074
Made of a signal solid pieces of quartz
176
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:18,050
So here we have some stone basins that were found by Sir Walter Emery, used years ago
177
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:25,624
And the department of antiquity is lining these up, with the idea of maybe bring them to the museum
178
00:20:25,624 --> 00:20:28,293
And they really did not know what to call them or what they were
179
00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:31,496
So they just decided to leave them here and they have been here ever since
180
00:20:31,496 --> 00:20:40,706
But if you look at the features on this, they are actually made of quartz crystal
181
00:20:40,872 --> 00:20:48,614
look up close, some of the places, but one of the fragments that break off, it’s actually a hunk of quartz
182
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:54,152
and these little holes inside and they say there were for animal sacrifice and the blood would drip through
183
00:20:54,152 --> 00:20:57,289
I don’t know. I really don’t think that’s what happened.
184
00:20:57,289 --> 00:21:03,762
No one has ever come up with a theory that satisfies me what they are for
185
00:21:06,431 --> 00:21:09,167
Is there anyone knows more about this area?
186
00:21:09,167 --> 00:21:20,779
Hakim Awyan is a indigenous wisdom keeper who was born in the villages of Abusir
187
00:21:20,779 --> 00:21:30,389
He trained in Europe, as an archaeologist. Hakim lived in this area known as the “band of peace”
188
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:39,164
the Giza plateau was its front yard
189
00:21:39,197 --> 00:21:47,272
1936-1937, Sphinx was covered in sand to the neck and then was my playing yard
190
00:21:47,272 --> 00:21:57,282
There are tunnels I used to walk in these tunnels, I used to crawl sometimes because it's narrow
191
00:21:57,282 --> 00:22:07,526
At Abu Garaba, we have a crystal altar, a round disk in the middle of four as the symbol of “hotep”
192
00:22:07,526 --> 00:22:11,830
