Mystery The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx

[exe ex machina]

An interesting article....

Hidden in Plain Sight

The unique features we document in this article point compellingly to a sustained, specific oceanic displacement, driven by Earth's rotational mechanics, as the most plausible explanation. This is not the result of a 371-day biblical deluge, a tidal wave, a cosmic collision, or any external...

It's interesting. They claimed that there was no destructive drilling and that they were able to feed the camera through gaps between blocks but you clearly see a perfectly round drilled hole the camera is being fed through.

Would be conduit they put through first, to make it easier to slide the camera through

Thanks, I think you are right.

There are claims of 8 cylindrical columns extending 640m under the pyramids. I don't see any evidence for it so far.

Yet they build the pyramid so that rain gets in.

Giza doesn't get much rain. There's evidence of canals from the Nile to the pyramid area that would have been used for drinking water and transport of materials.

I don't think they've handled the release of the discoveries very well but it's starting to look like it's legit. If verified, it would be the most important archaeological discovery ever. A vast system extending up to 2 km under the pyramids. The technology could be used to find other underground structures and even cities.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

People are quick to make outlandish claims about the pyramids. There's a whole industry around it.
The technology to build the pyramids only seems startling because most of all the other structures of the ancient world haven't survived.
People back then were at least as intelligent as contempory humans, and probably more intelligent.
Just because we can't work it out doesn't mean aliens did it.


Here's the reality.

'Despite the popularity of the claim, there is no evidence to support it. In addition, no credible news outlets or scientific publications have reported on this rumor.

Rather, this appears to be a spin on already questionable research conducted in 2022 that was subsequently embellished by a variety of right-wing content creators like conspiracy website Infowars contributor Greg Reese, who publishes The Reese Report, listed as a source for many of the claims pertaining to this topic. Infowars founder and well-known conspiracy theorist Alex Jones shared a version of the same claim on X (archived).'

No credible evidence supports claims of vast underground structures found beneath Egyptian pyramids

Claims of new ancient structures discovered beneath the pyramids in Giza are greatly overstated.

I’ve never believed that they were tombs, think we can rule that out. We still don’t know how or why the pyramids were built and what purpose they served,, but this new discovery could unlock some answers about so much of the ancient past.

The papyri of Merer—often referred to as the Diary of Merer or Papyrus Jarf A and B—are among the oldest known papyrus documents with extensive written records.

Dated to over 4,500 years ago during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty, they offer a rare glimpse into the day-to-day logistics of pyramid construction.

The records were meticulously maintained by Merer, a middle-ranking inspector, who documented the transportation of white limestone from the Tura quarries to what is known as Akhet-Khufu (the Great Pyramid) at Giza, providing invaluable evidence on how one of antiquity’s most remarkable projects was executed

Discovered in 2013 at the ancient Red Sea port of Wadi al-Jarf by French archaeologists Pierre Tallet and Gregory Marouard, these papyri have reshaped our understanding of ancient Egyptian administration.

The logbook is structured like a timetable, listing daily operations, the number of stone blocks moved (often around 30 blocks per trip, each weighing between 2 and 3 tonnes), and even details such as the specific stops and locations along the transport route.

This level of administrative detail reveals that a highly organized workforce—comprising roughly 40 boatmen under Merer’s oversight—was responsible for the critical task of moving the vast quantities of stone needed to clad the pyramid’s exterior.

Moreover, the Diary of Merer is written in a clear, methodical format using hieratic script and hieroglyphs, underscoring the sophistication of ancient Egyptian record-keeping.

The entries not only track logistical operations but also mention locations like "She-Khufu" (likely referring to the docking and storage area near the pyramid) and indicate the periodicity of trips—from casting off in the morning to spending nights at designated stations.

This systematic approach not only demystifies the pyramid's construction but also helps correct earlier misconceptions that the pyramids were built by slave labor, demonstrating instead that skilled and well-organized workers executed the project under a robust administrative regime.

The publication and study of these papyri, notably through the editions released by scholars like Pierre Tallet, have opened up fresh perspectives on ancient Egyptian statecraft and its capacity for managing massive construction endeavors.

They illustrate the remarkable logistical planning and bureaucratic control required to move monumental quantities of raw materials over considerable distances using boats and specially constructed canals.

This discovery not only enriches our understanding of pyramid construction but also offers insights into the broader socio-political and economic mechanisms that underpinned one of history’s greatest civilizations.

There’s a vast, intriguing world behind these ancient records—from the precise scheduling of stone transport to the roles of various officials in such grand projects.
