Was the Khafre Pyramid Planned to be Much BIGGER? | Ancient Architects

Any chance they knew how to "form" back then?

Coolbeens good vid

I imagine, it's possible, could have been, possibly circumstantial. The fact that there isn't even room in the box in the king's chamber to have been large enough for them to put his sarcophagus is telling that this was never built to be a tomb in the first damn place. The fact that the people when they were going into it in the mid-1800s had already been caught trying to fake stories they had already tried to make up about the pyramids, adjusting timelines by moving mummies around. It is entirely likely that none of what we know is true for some of what we know is true. But what we do know is that very little of what we believe we know, is probably true. Especially when a Stella found in 1857 said the Khufu didn't build it at all. The fact that it's been proven that the casing Stones were actually mixed onsite and poured-in-place in two forms which would have been far easier than trying to lift pre-cut stones into place. Is quite telling.
Then you end the video with maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe. We even have information that the pyramid was originally a temple of indoctrination for many many centuries. All the way up to about 2,000 years ago at least.
As for khafre's pyramid, I'm not sure what it was designed to be. Or used as. But the construction was considerably different anyway most of my comments are about the Great Pyramid. Which has a different construction method.

Again, refreshing new ideas. Keep up the good thinking.

I certainly appreciate the interested, polite & learned comments here.

How many blocks would your hypothesis require. Perhaps the number of blocks is the key to each phase and not the size. Perhaps the population diminished and the last phase was thought to be unachievable., therefore they didn't attempt it.
I always believed they built sideways and not from the ground up.

TY 🙏🙏

You are 100% wrong on this one.

I think its likely it was intended to be bigger but had to be revised down for economic and political reasons.

"the evidence [...] is limited and is by no means compelling. But it does seem feasible and maybe even probable."

how can it be both "not compelling" and "probable" at the same time?

Kafre's pyramid retains part of the casing stones near the top.

In arguing for a larger pyramid, one must account for the ancient decision to make it smaller.

That is, the actual size of the pyramid is dictated by the casing stones near the top. That pyramid size was decided by the builders of the pyramid, who placed the casing stones there.

When man was created by God, he had 100% brain power. We only have 10% today, and that is for only a few bright individuals. We, as a people are not evolving, but degrading…….

we need a comment of you what they presented today as of 13th Sep 2023 in the Mexican parliament. Two aliens were found and their DNA is not human.

Why are the interiors of all but one similar, the Great Pyramid seems much more elaborate the others, seems all entrances lead to places at or around ground level, the Great pyramid took much more building skills to place great galleries and room deep and up in the structure. You sure these were built by the same people?

not a tomb

I assume that all pyramids was in size depend on the lifetime of the pharao, which explains the large pyramid and its champers. So they rearranged for the long life of the pharao Afterwards. Oposit then maybe His son not lifed as Long as expacted and rearrangement was needed to get it finished faster? Is there a.hypotesis about that? Pyramids are perfect to be stopped in building anytime as long the base ist large enough.

I thought no facts are available about who built the pyramids of Giza

There is no king's or queens chambers. We have no proof that any pyramid was actually a tomb.😂😂😂

Seriouisly Stop with the Tomb theories. It is obvious that it was nit. It is a machine, THINK.

What I find interesting is how there are no internal structures to it. Also been thinking about what we could expect to find in the other chambers in the great pyramid.

Interesting. Please try more. It is a refreshing idea that the pyramids were not built from first tier to the last. Some addition to add some height, on purpose were added or planned later on. Depending on whatever.
My laymans opinion is that none of the kings are buried above ground. That is not a grave, is it? You have to dig to do a grave. In my language, this is crystal clear: Grafa (dig) - gröf (grave). Only those who are burned are above ground in my country. Like those burial places all over Giza from Khafre´s time, they are all under ground, although their small (compared to the pyramids) houses of honour are above ground.
My favourite video and idea of yours is that if a king is buried in the Great P, he is somewhere "downstairs". Near the subterranean chamber or connected to it. I think (I´m an amateur with a long history of nerdism of this topic) is the hottest thing you have come to find something super incredible! There is something there...... don´t slip that idea out of your mind.

Thanks for keeping your passion in high gear. A lot of people are very grateful, although not always ready to agree with you right away of course. That is healthy because you are searching in all kinds of places. Thanks for that. Stretching our minds. That is important. That is crucial I think to solve incredible difficult mysteries. And no one stops watching your content because you are honest and although some say some difficult things which just is an exercise for our brain. You are very good at this and have focus and thanks for daring to say some things because the old Egyptians (or whatever they were named before the Greeks arrived) do not say the secrets but as Einstein was supposed to say "The ancient knew something that we seem to have forgetten". I suspect suspect that a little "hocus pocus" was involvede because this is seldom normal physics.........as Einstein observed.
Takk Matt. (in Icelandic where touristy-volcano-eruption comes every year, just near the internation airport. (and some mighty Italian University proffessor comes every year to search for the Ark of the Covenant according to clues that Dante gave away. I wish him good luck, hehehe, but the location is crazy cool also for geologist; biggest Glacier in Europr (at least in Iceland) hehehe. When you hear the story why a priest here was made as Saint (because he made so much money for the Catholic church and we celebrate the day before christmas (money day of the year) you will never believie this true story) The Pope came here in 1990 and no one paid attention that he took the Saint-hood off Þorlákur because of course nobody gets to be a Saint for raising money!!

The theory is fascinating. Well, the ancient Egyptiens were no stupids. They knew that the pharao could die anytime for mysterious reasons. Expanding the pyramid to two sides, opens the opportunity to complete the other two sides including the limestone facing, prior to the decision of going to phase 3 or not. On the other hand it gives us a hint on the building process. Expanding a pyramid seems to be possible, without having to alter the existing sides. This seems to disprove the theory of the inner ramp. For me it is more likely that they build the pyramids in steps and filled them later to have the smooth pyramid form. Those steps would allow to have cranes all along the length of the wall and many people could work simultanously.

There was water falls and river was dug so it drained near lakes and rivers

It makes more sense that they found all 3 pyramids and dad took the biggest, son the second, etc.

Do proper research , even the ancient Egyptians tell us - the pyramids were there before them!

Very plausible hypothesis. Thank you for this presentation.

How does this theory then link with houdin or ramp? How would you “thicken” a side with new blocks all the way up later on?

Although I agree the hypothesis seems to be a good one and explains a lot I agree with the wall/foundations. Also explains the multiple chambers we see that go unused later on. I can’t see how you could phase it as the pyramid needs to be built in one surely?

If the outer enclosure walls suggest where the bases of enlarged pyramids how big would Khafre and Menkaure be at ,51°?

Excellent video as always Matt! However, my main question remains: Why the burrial chambers do not have any hieroglyphics? It seems odd to me, and still i have not seen an answer that makes sense. Thank you so much for your research.

I have to say that it is hard to take your videos seriously while you consider to assert that the great pyramids were built to be tombs. You seem like a serious thinker, so this is quite puzzling.

This all makes sense, but take it one step further. It makes the most sense to have a building in the shape of a pyramid during the entire construction. Start with a small pyramid and build onto it on two sides, bottom to top, for each course. After each of those courses you would have a completed pyramid, growing larger after each course. That might help explain the off-center entrances too.

I've just watched this video. It's really brilliant and thought-provoking. I am very taken with the idea that there were different phases of construction depending on how long the pharaoh lived. It makes a great deal of sense. Bravo Matt once again l. Thank you for the great entertainment, but also the mental stimulation. Attempting to pierce these great mysteries that remained to be solved.

It’s a fascinating idea.
At the start of every reign, there was no idea about how much building time will be available for these vast projects. So they must have proceeded in phases, with resources already accrued during the Pharaoh’s reign.
Inevitably, this also raises the question of whether there aren’t later, incomplete phases in these structures. For example, if Khufu’s pyramid ended with a completed third chamber, is there an incomplete fourth chamber higher in the structure?
It also suggests that pyramid construction had to have proceeded in a “scalable” way, which allowed height and width to be added in stages.

What evidence is there that the second pyramid was built by Khafre? Khufu has plenty of cartouches on various blocks in his, so are there the same markings in Khufu's? Though that's not my main question, if these were tombs, and air shafts/spirit shafts were necessary, where are the spirit shafts in Khufu's pyramid? Also, if the lower chamber was a contingency in the great pyramid, why wasn't it fully, or mostly fully excavated? If they weren't going to finish the pyramid after the king died, why would they finish carving out the lower chamber? Shouldn't that have been completed as work progressed? And then, is there enough room to get a sarcophagus down the corridors and into both Khufu's and Khafre's supposed Plan A burial chambers?

Great video. I always wondered what would they have done if the king died before the pyramid was finished. This makes perfect sense to me.

This is Michel Gamil RABBAT Egyptian American in Florida the purpose of pyramids is to support the shining
BenBaan pyramidion close to the burial underground of the King and then valley temple for rituals.a port already existed since Snefru with ramps and passages to deliver slabs to the Apis area..use of biotite pwd and chips with rope to start a slab with biotite and wood mallets to make slabs

The Aliens ran out of money. :D

I always have wondered if there is more to this pyramid . Its so simplistic internally compared to the others. Why have deeper investigations not been carried out?

One just can't extend the pyramid on one side. One has to do it on two sides.

I gave different ideas. Assuming that the underground of the Great Pyramid is hollow, is it possible that the quarrying of the pyramids started underground, with the underground city built first and then the above-ground buildings. I remember a video clip of drilling into the pyramid and discovering pink granite. From a certain perspective, it is very likely that there is a small city beneath the pyramid, and the raw materials for the pyramid may come from underground.

If there are any fans of Billy Meyer on this channel, you should know that there are underground cities beneath the Giza Plateau. But after a certain incident, the underground city was blocked by huge rocks. The whole space should be filled with rocks.

I like this idea of building a pyramid in stages. Perhaps even continuous steps? So it's always a pyramid. You are just growing it one shell at a time?

Assuming they were graves. In spite of any proof that they ever had bodies in them.
