The Pyramids of Egypt - How and Why - Naked Science Documentary (Full)
...Built during a time when Egypt was one of the richest and most powerful civilizations in the world, the pyramids—especially the Great Pyramids of Giza—are some of the most magnificent man-made structures in history. Their massive scale reflects the unique role that the pharaoh, or king, played in ancient Egyptian society. Though pyramids were built from the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the close of the Ptolemaic period in the fourth century A.D., the peak of pyramid building began with the late third dynasty and continued until roughly the sixth (c. 2325 B.C.). More than 4,000 years later, the Egyptian pyramids still retain much of their majesty, providing a glimpse into the country’s rich and glorious past.
During the third and fourth dynasties of the Old Kingdom, Egypt enjoyed tremendous economic prosperity and stability. Kings held a unique position in Egyptian society. Somewhere in between human and divine, they were believed to have been chosen by the gods to serve as mediators between them and the people on earth. Because of this, it was in everyone’s interest to keep the king’s majesty intact even after his death, when he was believed to become Osiris, god of the dead. The new pharaoh, in turn, became Horus, the falcon-god who served as protector of the sun-god, Ra.
The pyramid's smooth, angled sides symbolized the rays of the sun and were designed to help the king's soul ascend to heaven and join the gods, particularly the sun god Ra.
Ancient Egyptians believed that when the king died, part of his spirit (known as “ka”) remained with his body. To properly care for his spirit, the corpse was mummified, and everything the king would need in the afterlife was buried with him, including gold vessels, food, furniture and other offerings. The pyramids became the focus of a cult of the dead king that was supposed to continue well after his death. Their riches would provide not only for him, but also for the relatives, officials and priests who were buried near him.
No pyramids are more celebrated than the Great Pyramids of Giza, located on a plateau on the west bank of the Nile River, on the outskirts of modern-day Cairo. The oldest and largest of the three pyramids at Giza, known as the Great Pyramid, is the only surviving structure out of the famed seven wonders of the ancient world. It was built for Khufu (Cheops, in Greek), Sneferu’s successor and the second of the eight kings of the fourth dynasty. Though Khufu reigned for 23 years (2589-2566 B.C.), relatively little is known of his reign beyond the grandeur of his pyramid. The sides of the pyramid’s base average 755.75 feet (230 meters), and its original height was 481.4 feet (147 meters), making it the largest pyramid in the world. Three small pyramids built for Khufu’s queens are lined up next to the Great Pyramid, and a tomb was found nearby containing the empty sarcophagus of his mother, Queen Hetepheres. Like other pyramids, Khufu’s is surrounded by rows of mastabas, where relatives or officials of the king were buried to accompany and support him in the afterlife.

Keops Pyramid (Giza or Khufu Pyramid) in Cairo, Egypt
Keops Pyramid (Giza or Khufu Pyramid) in Cairo, Egypt
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.
Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10- to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface; what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built and was unfinished. The so-called Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber are higher up within the pyramid structure. The main part of the Giza complex is a set of buildings that included two mortuary temples in honour of Khufu (one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile), three smaller pyramids for Khufu's wives, an even smaller satellite pyramid, a raised causeway connecting the two temples, and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles.

Egypt, a country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East, dates to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old monuments sit along the fertile Nile River Valley, including Giza's colossal Pyramids and Great Sphinx as well as Luxor's hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman landmarks like Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities.

Naked Science - Pyramids
Subscribe to Naked Science -
Every Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
For over four and a half thousand years the pyramids of Egypt have stood as wonders of the world. The facts are astonishing, the Great Pyramid alone weighs almost six million tons and contains over 2.3 million stone blocks. Naked Science sets out to uncover four great mysteries that still surround the pyramids, how were they built, who built them, why were they built, and what secrets may still lie hidden within their stones. As four millennia and countless generations stand between us and the men who built the pyramids we have to study the buildings themselves to uncover the answers.
With British engineer Denys Stocks we learn the art of pyramid building. Stocks has spent twenty years mastering the techniques used by the ancient workmen and shows how such vast quantities of stone were quarried, transported and fitted by a civilisation that had not even invented the wheel. To show the scale of the achievement we asked construction manager and pyramid scholar Craig Smith to calculate what it would take to build a pyramid in today’s money.
We may know the names of the pharaohs who commissioned the pyramids but who actually hauled the blocks. Legends have always held that slaves built the pyramids but we venture into the science of Forensic Egyptology to discover the truth. Mark Lehner discovered the town of the pyramid builders while Zahi Hawass takes us on a tour of their tombs.
There may be few records of how the pyramids were built but hieroglyphic texts within some pyramids hint at their reveal purpose. Salima Ikram and Jim Allen help us find for the reason why the pyramids were built within these spells and incantations. However Robert Bauval, believes there may be deep connections between the pyramids and astronomy. He believes links to the stars are hidden within their stones and chambers.
Finally we follow work in pyramid exploration as teams hunt for hidden chambers and use robots to explore the mysterious shafts at the centre of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Gizeh Cheops Pyramid Travel Guide
Travel video about destination Gizeh in Egypt.
The Cheops Pyramid has existed for 4,500 years, the largest of three pyramids close to Cairo, beyond the suburbs of Gizeh.Completed in around 2,590 B.C, it took over twenty years to construct this huge monument on the edge of the desert. Although lacking the technology of today, amazingly, the pyramids were constructed with great architectural and astronomical precision. At a height of 128 metres, the Cheops Pyramid consists of more than two and a half million limestone blocks, each one of which weighs an average two and a half tons. As though standing guard, the Sphinx – a prone lion with a human head - has always been a symbol of mystique. It was carved from a single rock and measures 21 metres high and 74 metres long. The Cheops Pyramid is the most extraordinary tomb of all time, the tomb of a living god. and the most wonderful of the world’s seven wonders of Antiquity!

Archaeologists unveil ancient Luxor tomb, open closed coffin for first time
A previously unopened sarcophagus was opened for the first time on Saturday (November 24) as two Egyptian discoveries were unveiled in Luxor's west bank. The intact sarcophagus contained a well preserved mummy of a woman named Thuya and dates to the 18th Egyptian dynasty.
It was discovered earlier this month by a French led mission in the northern region of El-Assasif, along with another anthropoid sarcophagus which was opened and examined.
Earlier in the day a tomb belonging to Thaw Rakht If, the overseer of the mummification shrine, was unveiled along with 1000 small wooden and clay statues, and five coloured masks.
Three-hundred metres of rubble was removed over five months to uncover the tomb, which contains coloured wall scenes depicting the owner and his family. The tomb dates back to the middle-kingdom almost 4000 years ago, but was reused during the alte period.
Ancient Egyptians mummified humans to preserve their bodies for the afterlife, while animal mummies were used as religious offerings. So far Egypt has revealed over a dozen ancient discoveries this year.
Egypt is hoping these discoveries will brighten its image abroad and revive interest among travellers who once flocked to its iconic pharaonic temples and pyramids but who have shunned the country since its 2011 political uprising.
Scientists Have Just Discovered Two Secret Rooms Hidden Inside the Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid Of Giza in Egypt is one of the most amazing structures on Earth. This massive structure is made of stones that weight hundreds and thousands of pounds. Because heavy machinery wasn't around in ancient Egypt, we can only assume that the pyramid was built with human hands. This is pretty amazing. Archaeologists from all over the world have been studying the pyramid for hundreds of years. Because this pyramid has been studied by experts so many times, it is pretty amazing that scientists have just discovered two secret rooms hidden inside the Great Pyramid Of Giza. How is it possible that they remained hidden until now?
It is believed that it took between 10 and 20 years to build the pyramid, which was completed around 2560 BC. When it was first built, the pyramid stood at 480-feet high. For over 3,800 years, it was the biggest construction project ever taken on by man. The pyramid is said to have been the final resting place of a Fourth Dynasty pharaoh named Khufu. Ancient Egyptians knew the pyramid as Khufu's Horizon back then. It is surrounded by three smaller pyramids which were tributes to Khufu's wives. The Great Pyramid Of Giza is the best preserved of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Since the 19th century, Egyptologists have been studying the Great Pyramid. It was always believed that the pyramid had three chambers. The first chamber is a work in progress that was carved out in rock below the main part of the construction. The second and third chambers are enormous, and they are known as the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber. The King's Chamber is the largest of the two. It is 35-feet by 17-feet. It has a flat room that is over 19-feet tall. The Queen's Chamber is just under 19-feet by 17-feet. It has a pointed roof that is about 20-feet high. The Grand Gallery connects them. It is a passageway that is about 28-feet high and over 150-feet long.
A recent discovery has revealed that there is more to the interior of the pyramid than initially thought. It was discovered during a pioneering project called the Scan Pyramids program, which was led by teams from the Cairo University and the Heritage, Innovation, and Preservation Institute in Paris. The project began in October 2016, and using the latest scientific techniques; they revealed two mysterious anomalies in the pyramid.
One of the new findings was discovered on the northern wall of the pyramid. The researchers working on the project believe that there is a hidden corridor that extends into the central part of the pyramid. The team installed 12 muon-detecting plates in 2016, and they are hoping that this will help them learn more about their discovery.
The second anomaly that was discovered is located on the northeast face of the pyramid. The researchers believe that there is a void that extends deep into the pyramid. They don't think that there is a connection between the two cavities; however, their research is still in the very early stages.
While the new discoveries are fascinating, the way that they made the discoveries is even more incredible. They used cosmic rays to find out more about the inside of the pyramid. Cosmic rays are incredibly high-energy radiation, often from beyond our solar system. When the rays hit atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they create subatomic particles that are called muons. Around 10,000 muons per square meter per minute come into contact with the Earth. They are very useful for scientists. The muons can travel through matter, similar to an x-ray but much better. The researchers at the pyramid are using specialized equipment to see how the muons pass through solid objects such as the stone of the Great Pyramid.
The researchers left the detectors in place for 67 days so that they could receive and record the muons. The results from the detectors were sent to Nagoya University in Japan which was where the anomalies were discovered.
According to the Ministry of State of Antiquities in Egypt, more work needs to be done before we get any real answers. They believe that it will be irresponsible to jump to conclusions without more research.
So far, without the necessary research, the experts still don't know what to think about the discovery. The anomalies could be simply the differences between the sizes in the stones that were used to build the pyramids. It could also be new rooms that we never knew existed. Only time will tell.

The Giza Necropolis (Arabic: أهرامات الجيزة) is an archaeological site on the Giza Plateau, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. This complex of ancient monuments includes the three pyramid complexes known as the Great Pyramids, the massive sculpture known as the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers' village and an industrial complex. It is located some 9 km (5 mi) inland into the desert from the old town of Giza on the Nile, some 25 km (15 mi) southwest of Cairo city centre.

This film covers Cairo & its surrounds; including the Citadel, Souks, Mohammed Ali Mosque, The Pyramids of Giza, The Sphinx and the spectacular Pyramid Son et Lumiere show. We also visited the ancient capital of Memphis, Dahshur, and Sakkara, finishing in Alexandria.
Lower Egypt is the northern-most section of Egypt. It refers to the fertile Nile Delta region, which stretches from the area between Upper Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea — from El-Aiyat south of modern-day Cairo, and Zawyet Dahshur. Lower Egypt was known as Ta-Mehu which means land of papyrus. It was divided into twenty districts called nomes, the first of which was at el-Lisht. Because Lower Egypt was mostly undeveloped scrubland, undeveloped for human life and filled with all types of plant life such as grasses and herbs, the organization of the nomes underwent several changes.
The capital of Lower Egypt was Memphis. Its patron Goddess was the cobra goddess Wadjet. Lower Egypt was represented by the Low Red Crown Deshret, and its symbols were the papyrus and the bee.

Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids of Giza
Recorded October 30, 2009.
Each day the sun sets on the bustling city of Cairo, and the famous pyramids on the Giza plateau, south of Cairo, are absorbed into the night sky. These colossal structures are never out of sight completely, as they reawaken at night during the magnificent Sound and Light Show. Thousands of years have passed since the Pharaohs walked the Earth, but with your imagination, they will appear before your eyes. History comes to life with each show and provides the audience with a magical experience of learning about ancient Egypt, while staring up at the pyramids.
Each visit to the pyramids and the Sound and Light show is an enchanting experience not to be missed. We may never know exactly how the magnificent pyramids were built. The Riddle of the Sphinx may remain one of the worlds oldest mysteries. We are visiting the pyramids in the 21st century, thousands of years after they were built, and they will continue to endure for generations. These magnificent towering structures manage to humble us with their size, at the same time as they testify to the great human spirit that created them.
