The Seven Wonders Of The World - BBC Documentary

I Think, Cleopatra's Library, Could Have Been, The Eighth Wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that the sound of Pierce Brosnan?

Lovely. Why the angelic voices, martial music etc? You don't need all that fluff.

Great documentary spoiled by the constant ad breaks every few minutes

These 7 Wonders Choosers Have Never Seen Indian Temple

Thank you very much .

There is no way in that time in history they could have built to EXACTLY True North to with in INCHES??? Did Fideus steal the gold? Wouldn’t it be a new Wonder to repair the pyramid

Great narration

"Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.” Genesis 11:7
"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD." Proverbs 21:30

While anthropologists believe and rightly so, that water management was and is a precious commodity in arid areas, it is also used by those in power, as a show of power and wealth. This has also been shown at Petra, although many centuries later.

By the reading of the Cuneiform , it has been possible to determine 5hat the word hsed fir the transport mechanism for the water to be brought up to the top height of the garden, was the date palm, which if studied, shows the same spiral form as the Archimedes screw.

Additionally, the palace at Nineveh was made of stone as was the river shunt and the aqueduct. The inscriptions at 5he headif the river shunt was inscribed on sheer stone mountain rises in multiple languages including cuneiform , which has given linguists a deep 8nsight into reading that script

Research has shown that the Hanging gardens were never in the city of Babylon. The greatest likelihood is that ti was at Ashurbanipal’s palace at Nineveh, as the beginning of the river shunting many mikes north can still be seen and the reliefs in the British museum depicting a many leveled garden are the same design as the aqueduct of that river shunt and are still visible. This was a case of sloppiness on the part of historians as while Nineveh and the hanging garden was part of the Assyrian construction, the entire area was still called Babylonia.

The biggest problem with. The so called scholars views is that they personally have never built anything remotely like the pyramids. However when architects and building crafts people get involved more reasonable answers come about as they are using their intelligence to overcome the same problems as the original builders. The great notch in one corner, when investigated showed that the internal ramp consideration was viable with building more from the outside inward than by building from the inside outward.
Once you have your initial platforms including facing stones set, then there is plenty of room for the internal stones to be placed on each level to set the casing stones first on each level also makes it easier to control the finishing work for the precision desired. This is where 5he skilled stone crafts people would be working while the less skilled work of the internal stones could be accomplished by seasonal workers and the apprentice stonemasons.
It would also assume that under the direction of the master stonemasons, the apprentices would become the foremen of the seasonal workers. As the apprentices, would be creating the internal ramps at a reasonable slope of no greater than 7 degrees otherwise even the strongest teams of people could not move against the friction.
Since one thing pointed out is the required turning radius for each stone, it then becomes the problem of where do all these people go when dragging a stone up a ramp. It takes 1-2 draught cattle much less room than twenty people. And with an internal ramp there us no need to continually add distance to the ramp to maintain the slope required.
The only external ramps required would be to the level of the base of the grand gallery as the gallery itself is an internal ramp to guide the granite stones for the King’s chamber. These blocks could be pulled by teams of draught animals outside the pyramids using rope slings that wrap around wooden blocks similar to those used for the boats in the Nile. The holes on each side of the guide way of the grand gallery would be used for stop blocks possibly with an additional wooden crossbar. It is well documented that there are scratches in the upper blocks of the grand gallery that are on the same slope as the guideway of the floor.

This brings us to the fact of the three chambers in the pyramid. Since pyramid building had been going on for generations, it would become widely apparent in construction where the actual chamber would be and be in danger of looting. So, by erecting outer casing stones on each level first, it would hide any changes to where such chamber would be. And the opening to the grand gallery ( the chevron stones that are visible now, could easily be gated off by a solid door. Even the grand gallery itself could be hidden as the outer casing stones progressed with only a very few knowing where the sarcophagus was placed as the construction continued around it and above it with the master stonemasons and apprentices taking charge over such details with the seasonal workers relegated to the easier tasks.

Instead of using a north south line to lay out the base of a pyramid, it is easier to use the sun for the east p west line, as they would have been using a single pole to mark the calendar year, and it is easier to work in daylight than at night.

During the Old Kingdom, there are depictions of farmers using cattle to plow the fields. So in building the pyramids, they would gave also been used as draught animals especially to pull stones up the internal ramps and make the turns as one bull can pull as much as ten men and take up less space. Then, if cattle died or were injured, it increased the food supply as evidenced by cattle bones in the trash middens.
Using ropes around pull blocks( pulleys without wheels), a team of cattle could be used to pull the granite blocks up the Grand Gallery to create the kings chamber with the team of cattle on the ground outside. The depiction used here, is not for building the pyramids. But closer to the colossus of Memnon temple.

THIS world system is nearly over.
The KINGDOM of GOD is at hand!
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
Revelation 20:15!
REPENT and RECEIVE JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOUR to have your name secured in His Book of Life!
TIME IS WINDING UP.

Amazing historical documentary.

Another documentary ruined by ads became unwatchable

So, in all the kingdom, the most beautiful woman he could find was his own sister? That's depravity!

Something that I think is interesting about art in general is how much it’s evolved but at the same time, is influenced by, and often based on the art of the past :)

The English accent is basically music to my American ears <3

Horrid quality.

Quite educative

HIGH ideals ⭐

7 years ago 😇

" by working
TOGETHER " 💪

Meh

Nothing beats a full figured curvaceous naked wife

The background music is mind numbing. Off

"Until little more than a century ago; the great pyramid remained the tallest structure on earth"...
...um ...no it didn't... it was surpassed by the old St Paul's in 1221 and then again in 1311 by Lincoln Cathedral.

A false statement this early on is really pretty bad in a documentary... and I'm out.

Correction: slavery was common throughout the history of ancient Egypt. It is correct, however, that the pyramids were built largely by farmers and workers who were recruited as “volunteers”.

the music in the background is so fucking loud

I wonder the number of elephants that died to make that massive statue? Its crazy how we still can not figure out how they made such marvelous and massive structures. What if we have it all wrong & they were highly intelligent or simply open minded & had intelligence from above aiding them? We'll literally NEVER know!

TFW James Bond gently narrates a benign documentary 🤌🤌

How is it Pierce cannot focus on one subject for more than 10 seconds. Warning: this doc is for 5 year olds.

2021 and I'm watching it! Who else are watching this?

They're not destroyed just in a hidden British museum

I believe the documentary's final scene (of the Pyramid) would have been much more dramatic had it truly depicted it's WHITE limestone outer casing gleaming in the desert sun

Giants.

It may be possible they have carried up ton of stones in liquid form

Pierce Brosnan..Is One Of My favourite Actor Of All Time..Just By Hearing His Voice,I know Its Him..Respect

I love you all

Was eager to watch it, but the music is so terrible and distracting that I could not get through it.

Wonderful documentary 👍

Irish 007 has an unusual VO style.

The ancient Egyptians did use corvee labor for many projects.

Ancient Egypt will eventually have slavery but not during the time of the Great Pyramid.

There were giants in those days....
