How Were The Pyramids Built? (Mystery Finally Solved)

How were the pyramids built? 4,500 years later and we still don’t know. Despite all the pyramid construction theories, a new one has surfaced known as the The Trapezoidal Step Pyramid Hypothesis, which emphasizes stacking and carving down; some call it the “Unbuilt” theory and some architects believe that it may explain the missing evidence. While it’s true that we don’t know for sure just how the pyramids were built down to the detail, there are a few things that we DO know. This video will explore what we do and don’t know and why the latest pyramid build theory (courtesy of Huni Choi) might be the most compelling. In 2013, a French-Egyptian team excavating at Wadi al-Jarf on the Red Sea coast uncovered the oldest inscribed papyri ever found. Among them was the logbook of an official named Merer, who spent his days transporting limestone blocks to Giza during the reign of Khufu. It is the only firsthand account of pyramid construction that has ever been discovered, written by someone who was actually there. In this video we break down what the Merer papyrus reveals about how the Great Pyramid of Giza was really built, how the ancient Egyptians moved blocks weighing several tons without wheels or iron tools, who the pyramid workers actually were, and why so much of what people believe about ancient Egypt is wrong. 🎮 𝙃𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮𝙏𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙀𝙓𝙋𝙇𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙀𝘿 This channel breaks down real history through gaming and strategy frameworks.
