let’s dive into the pyramids now. I’m going to give you guys a little bit of uh, uh, what is, is going to happen, right? Yeah, we’ve been talking about this forever. What’s a structure going to be? So this is a structure, because we don’t like to willy-nilly these podcasts, right? We like to have structure. So this episode is going to be essentially the history of the pyramids, and it’s very atypical for us, and we get, we’ve gotten a lot of comments, particularly on YouTube, and I wanted to address this. This is how we do it, because I know when you go and search conspiracy, you just want the conspiracies, because you know about it, but not everyone knows about every single conspiracy.

So, in an attempt to enlighten people on conspiracies they don’t know about, obviously everyone knows about the pyramids, but we’re doing things the same way, we’re going to give you the history, we just got to cover all the details in case there’s something you don’t know already. We get into the juice, because we know there’s tons of conspiracy podcasts that you can listen to, and it’s all like, you know, what’s that guy’s name, who’s like, who uses big headlines, um, Infowars, Alex on, like, oh my God, breaking, lately, lately everything is breaking, crazy, wild, just came in, these, all these expletives, and it’s like, okay, well, calm down.

What is the data first? Talking about, yeah, and so we’re trying to fill the void of what is the data, and then decide about the conspiracy. So here we go, yeah, let’s get the [bleep] day. So how we’re going to do it is, the, like I said, the episode is going to be the history of the pyramids, then episode two is going to be fully Shawn’s episode. Yeah, it’s all me, baby, cuz you know me, Sean’s going to go over an entire hour, hour and a half, etc, of like the mysteries of the conspiracies and what doesn’t make sense. A lot of, dude, I got 20 pages of [bleep].

Yes, what doesn’t add up, what doesn’t really kind of jive, are they aliens or they Advanced Tech, are they, what, what are they, right? And so, and then episode three, yes, yes to all that. And then episode three is going to be Eric’s episode, this is going to be grounded, logical, very Eric figured out how the pyramid got, Eric actually built his, it’s gonna be very NPR style. Hello, everybody, grounding, [bleep], you [bleep], these guys are lunatics and I’m the only sane person on the… but hopefully we hit all, you know, people who, whether they’re skeptical or whether they’re not, you know, and learn a little bit, and there you go.

So that’s the layout, uh, and here we, without further ado, go. The Great Pyramids of Egypt are among the most iconic structures of the ancient world, representing the extreme advancement of engineering. Yes, and it’s generally agreed that they were constructed during the Old Kingdom. Now, later on we’re going to go over what the kingdoms are. Yeah, there are quite a few. These pyramids, though, have stood for thousands of years as a testament to a civilization’s knowledge, resources, and or organization skills, or are they proof that a higher power exists, or an external influence exists, showing mankind the way to build mega structures that they couldn’t possibly build without?

Yeah, okay, I’m going to go, yeah, I’m gonna go, we’re done. So then that’s the end, it’s both sides of it, right? Obviously the pyramids are, in my opinion, considered the greatest mystery of all time. No, and I think they’re also, they’re also probably why they’re considered like the greatest, one of the greatest creations in the history of mankind. Yeah, thousands of books, shows, movies, podcasts, articles, excavation digs, History Channel shows, History Channel dude with the hair’s, newsl, [bleep], uh, they all have attempted to answer this basic question. Who built the pyramids, and how did they build them? How the [bleep] did they do it?

And so here we go, the timeline of the pyramids. The construction of the Great Pyramids of Egypt represent a pivotal moment in human history, falling within the broader timeline of civilization. So Earth itself is approximately 4 and a half billion years, the earliest signs of life was around 3 and a half billion years, so there was a billion years where it was just like an empty land, desolate wasteland, an emptiness, and this is all speculation. Dude, don’t, [bleep], no [bleep], trust me. Homeo sapiens, or our species, emerged around 300,000 years ago, so we’re fairly new in the grand scheme of things with Earth. Yeah, they gradually developed tools, agriculture, you know, farming, organized societies, and thus became, thus became civilizations as we know them.

Yeah, the Neolithic Revolution occurred around 10,000 BCE, and it marked humanity’s shift from being like a nomad, a hunter, a gatherer, etc, into settling down, creating community instead of being a nomad caveman. It became the revolution of creating a city or a town. Well, then, hence the word civilization itself, because, you know, the term “civilized man,” yeah, using advanced tools, creating, you’re no longer a caveman, you’re no longer like eating raw meat, you’re on a higher plane, higher plane of consciousness. Yeah, and maybe, she developed, she’s really good at corn. Holy [bleep], he’s good at corn, you’re good at wheat, I’m good at lumber. Okay, and then let’s get together.

Hey, bros, instead of you going out like elsewhere, let’s stick together, and I’ll get you that lumber, you get me that corn, and you give me that wheat, you know what I mean, and then crushing the game, and then all of a sudden you have a community. Pretty simple, yeah. This transition and or the rise of a community or civilization, then thousands of years forward, included Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and then ancient Egypt. Yeah, by the time the first pyramids were constructed, it was around 2600 BCE. Egypt had already developed sophisticated systems of some semblance of government, writing, architecture, etc. During this period, other civilizations also flourished.

The Sumerians in Mesopotamia had built their first known cities in this time, while the Indus Valley civilization, present day India and Pakistan, had advanced urban planning. Meanwhile, in America’s, early cultures began establishing settlements through bigger structures, architecture, etc, not necessarily like pyramids, but maybe like mounds, yeah, and like building a structure in order to live in it. Okay, does that make sense? Yeah, totes. So as we move forward in this timeline that we’re building here, yeah, the construction of the pyramids predates many historical events. They were built over a thousand years before Greek civilization, nearly 2,000 years before the founding of Rome, and more than 4,000 years before the European Renaissance.

The longevity of the pyramids makes them one of the earliest, enduring testaments to either human ingenuity, or [bleep] external, external, external influence. That’s right, nonhuman, non-Earth, yeah, right, however you want to say it. So a couple points that I wanted to bring up, a little bit of a history on, in order to build up into what are we talking about, where are we talking about, and the first of which is the Nile River. Yeah, okay, and supposedly, that area was supposedly like a [bleep] like an oasis, beautiful, lush greenery, like this [bleep], middle of the desert. Yeah, it didn’t used to be, [bleep] straight, quite a desert.

It wasn’t a desert back then, it was like [bleep] like deluxe, like Florida. No, it was like, I think it was more deluxe, yeah. Oh wow, yeah, I think it was actually like legit. Okay, he’s absolutely right, and in Jorge, in your thought process, don’t think of the desert, okay, when you’re coming to your conclusions at the end of this, don’t think of a desert, think of, this is desert is present time, we got to go back in time. It’s also, too, cuz like if you look, all these major civilizations where all this stuff, like, culminated and started, were all in these Middle Eastern, or in this case, these African, these African settings, and a lot of these places, like the Middle East and like Iran and all these places, they didn’t, they didn’t used to be like these effing desolate wastelands, they used to be like [bleep] legit, major of [bleep], humanity, the center of the universe to them.

That’s right, they were, they weren’t all shitty. That’s right. Okay, and so the Nile River was the lifeline of ancient Egypt, and that area, uh, I mean, if you could imagine, you’re kind of roaming around, and then all of a sudden you’re like, well, I’m going to be by the water, yeah, like this is kind of legit, you start building around there, and that’s where the community starts forming. That’s right, that’s right. So it’s not really confusing why they would build these mega structures next to the Nile, right, because the Nile was, you know, the place to be, essentially. So flowing northward from the heart of Africa, the Nile’s annual flooding deposited nutrient rich silt along its banks.

So just imagine, every, I mean, I don’t know exactly, but every year there would be a flooding of the Nile, and so that Nile would be bigger than it looks today, because there would be flooding, and then the water would go up, and then it would either fertilize the soil, or, for, you know, building next to it, I don’t know, you know, different things like that, right. This predictable cycle of the flooding of the Nile allowed Egyptians to develop a highly efficient agricultural system, supporting a stable food supply in the area, and enabled population growth. Yeah, you can’t, you can’t build a city, you can’t feed it.

Yeah, that’s right. So then you go, okay, well, there’s tons of rivers, why, you know, why this river, right? This is considered, I mean, depending on how you measure this river, it is the longest river on Earth. Yeah, yeah, I think technically they’re second, like, if you had, I think they’re technically second, just depends how you count it, right? It’s like if there’s like one foot of land, [bleep], it’s impossible to, but just to give you an idea of the size, the Nile River is approximately, uh, 6600 km, now, in American terms, 4,100 miles. That’s crazy, wow, 4,100 miles, that’s longer than the US, like from east to west.

Yeah, 100%, yeah, yeah, massive, and there’s like, it’s like there’s twists and turns and [bleep], it’s not like [bleep] straight, yeah. So not only agriculture benefits, but transportation, mhm, it facilitated trade, communication between Upper and Lower Egypt. Boats were able to carry things such as grain, papyrus, gold, luxury silk. It connected Egypt to the neighboring regions, including Nubia and the Mediterranean world. The river also played a central role in Egyptians’ uh, religion, mythology, all these deities and gods basically came from the river, because at that time, if you were like, this gives me life, yeah, I’m going to validate it as a God. I mean, some sort of, some, the god of whatever, it’s funny, like most, like most ancient religions all were revolved around the things that keep you alive.

Like, true, even into like the Roman god, it was all about like, what are my basic necessities, right, like, I’m gonna pray this [bleep], I’m trying to like, so again, it’s not just about trade, agriculture, life, uh, sustainment, etc, but it’s also religion, and okay, you know, that sort of thing, right? They were, were pretty [bleep] religious community. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Uh, now, I mean, depending on who you ask, again, Sha and or I, and or scholars and or theorists, right, the Nile River was essential in building the pyramids. Now, let us say, let us say it’s a extraterrestrial influence, okay, I still believe that the Nile was used in some capacity to build the pyramids, okay, even if we didn’t know, cuz, remember, you know, like there’s granite sites, uh, hundreds of miles away, it seems pretty logical that even with an alien tech to build it, still need to transport, still transport it, you mine it, you don’t know what kind of tech it was, to transport, you think they’re going to just put it on a raft on the Nile River, we’re gonna get into all that, we’re going to get into that, but I’m just saying, I’m just saying, that’s like, you know, when we use the word transportation down this 4,000 mile river, you know what I mean, the options are limitless.

Until transporting, we’re talking about transporting 50 ton, ton, [bleep], my thing is like, I have a hard time, I do have a hard time believing there, like, even putting like a 180 ton [bleep] block of granite on like a canoe, yeah, like, sifting it down the [bleep], we’re going to get into all that. Now, other theories were that the Egyptians knew when the flooding was going to occur, and so there are farmers and or workers who were not able to work during the flood, but they were working on the pyramids on their off season. Tracking, I know, this, again, again, this is not my episode, right, Eric is going through, then, this is what the common, the common belief is, that this is what happened, and then they used, they used actual, you guys, the data, you know, and look, and this is, I’m not allowed, because that is what they believe, at least at one point.

I want him to object. I just want him, objection, your honor, objection, sustained, leading the witness, leading, permission to treat the witness as a hostile witness. Uh, so again, and back to the religious beliefs, it was thought to be a divine gift from the gods, and the cycles of flooding and retreat were linked to those gods. And the river not only enabled large scale construction, not of pyramids, but of homes and homes, yes, and farmland and markets and communities, etc. So take the pyramids out of it, mhm, it was still used, yeah, it was, it was, I believe that 100%, yeah. I need, uh, I need seven, seven, seven, seven, coup, really?

No, I was trying to do lumber, meanwhile, like, I’m in like the back alley, is like [bleep] throwing dice, I got two bushels on this throw, let’s go, crypto, comp, something Egyptian, Krypto Egyptian crypto, it’s like [bleep] hieroglyphs, that, trying to, they’re trying to slang hieroglyphs, dude, not even kidding, I bet they had it in some form. This, that new hieroglyph, man, everyone’s trying to get on this. Okay, and then, uh, this, the official version of the pyramids is that the construction of the pyramids in Egypt began during the third dynasty in the Old Kingdom, and it started with something called the step pyramid, and this was by the Pharaoh Djoser, and it was designed by the architect Imhotep.

About how many years ago, or what, Imhotep, uh, this is in like 3000 BCE, so this is considered the Old Kingdom, but the third dynasty, and the way it’s before Common Era, yeah, like, that’s some new [bleep]. No, they recently changed it, because, um, obviously the dating system was, was religious, was a religious dating system, it’s like, whoo, it was BC and AD, and now this is, is this DEI? I don’t know, I don’t know, that’s totally, I think they were just trying to make it more universal, yeah, because, like, if I was, technically, say, I was a really devout Muslim, yeah, and, like, they’re using a Christian dating system, gonna be like, well, I don’t know if I want to like use that, because it’s conflicting with my belief system, or history should be facts, history should, history should, yeah, history should not, should not lean towards anything, it should just be data.

So the religious, so it was still time, it’s still something that happened in a time period that you can relate to for relevance. I know, but I mean, it was before Christ, that was BC, that was BC, was before Christ, and then, but what I’m saying, but how much of Jesus’s life do we, as fact, we don’t, right, it’s hard, we’re taking, so we’re starting off incorrectly. The point, that’s the point, so that’s why they changed it, just to make it more neutral. Yes, correct, to make it neutral, I kind of, I’m down with it. No, listen, I’m down, I’m down too, my wife is not down with, no, she’s like, you’re not down with it?

I’m not down with it, no, my wife is like, but why, like, who cares, like, why change it now? I’m like, I can see why they changed it, cuz, like, you don’t want to, you don’t want to, you want to like, if I was a historian, I want to be [bleep] completely neutral to any side, yeah. I see, and also, why didn’t we do the dates by Buddha? Business taxes was stressing about all the time and all the money you spent on your taxes, this is my bill now.

Anyway, zero was Buddha, or zero was Muhammad, or zero was [bleep], whatever, does that make sense, like, no, it does make sense, but we chose one, and then that’s what we’ve been learning on for years and years and years. Now, who chose it? Yeah, no, it’s true, that’s, I don’t even know who chose it, who the [bleep] chose it?

No, and that leads into the mystery, the whole conspiracy, we do conspiracy on history. No, and we actually have a couple segments, Earth’s been alive for like 100 years, we have a couple segments in here about, you know, history, who wrote history, that’s a really good point. I don’t [bleep], right, like, well, there’s not one person, like, no, I know, but I mean, you know, who was it, who’s responsible, I mean, got him, no, no, you know, the argument of, you know, the argument of, like, uh, history belongs to the victors. So true, so because they changed the history to make them the [bleep] saint, because we defeated evil, it’s the same thing with any major war, it’s like the victor says what happened, it’s like the biggest telephone game that ever existed, of all time, the worst.

Yeah, I know, it’s a 5,000 year telephone. I didn’t mean to derail us, let’s be real, yes, you did. So one of the first pyramids of Egypt was the third dynasty of the Old Kingdom, and it was the step pyramid of the Pharaoh Djoser, and a step pyramid, you, if you’ve seen photos, we’ll put on Patreon, but it’s not quite the smooth pyramid that you see, it’s like it’s like an Aztec pyramid, it’s made to like walk the [bleep] up there, obvious steps, like major, you’re like, it’s like a cake, like somebody’s like, I did that level, you know, my father did that level, grandfather did the other level.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so the structure, it’s actually relatively small too, it’s not that big. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s like a building, because I’ve seen that one, it’s really not, around the same size as the Aztec ones, or, we’re going to get into that later. No, smaller, small, smaller, the Aztec are huge too, the Aztec ones are big, but they’re the same, the same style, same, right, right. So this structure marked a significant transition from traditional, like, tomb buildings, because, mhm, origin, it was built for tombs of noble people, and so originally they were like mounds and or squares, and they weren’t quite pyramids in the sense that we know them now.

Yeah, so they think, historians and scholars and people who have more degrees than we do, yes, think that these were tomb based projects. I mean, because, yeah, obviously it’s like, it’s easy to like make that correlation, cuz they’re like, oh, okay, this one was a tomb, but then like the next guy’s like trying to [bleep] swing his dick around, is like the biggest [bleep] tomb in the whole, and also they found, uh, you know, yeah, like the [bleep] sarcophagus tombs or whatever in them, so, dead homies, I think this was a tomb, yeah, I think you’re right, it’s like a mummy [bleep], it’s a solid point, actually, super solid.

Oh [bleep], a corpse in here, I think, I think this was a tomb. Anyways, actually, so true, it’s very simple, but it actually makes sense. Uh, so this structure marked a significant transition from the traditional tombs and or buildings, and the step design would later evolve into a smooth sided pyramid. Mhm, so Pharaoh Snefru, I didn’t say that right, uh, during the fourth dynasty, further refined that pyramid construction, and he built the Bent Pyramid, if you’ve ever heard of the Bent Pyramid and or the Red Pyramid, both of which contributed to the development of the techniques used supposedly in the construction of the Great Pyramid.

Now, supposedly, if you wanted to look further into the Bent Pyramid, you could, and it’s basically a pyramid that looks like, uh, if Jorge and I built the pyramid, and we measured wrong, oh [bleep], and halfway through the 10 year project you’re like, [bleep] it, ride. It sounds like one of my home DIY projects. Yes, it sounds like my floor, like, looks, looks straight, [bleep], a great example, finish it, a really great example is if you went and you built a big old bookcase at Ikea, and you missed one of the rods, you had no, you had no instructions, and you were just developing it on your own, and then it was fully slanted when you built it.

Yeah, and you’re like [bleep], I tell my wife, my baby, it’s like gouty, it’s part of the style, yeah, exactly, everyone’s doing it nowadays. So the Great Pyramid, the one that we know today, the big boy, was commissioned by Pharaoh Khufu around 2600 BCE, and it was the largest, most ambitious of its kind. It was part of a complex that included temples, smaller pyramids, and causeways. Yes, Khafre and Menkaure, they also built their own pyramids as well, and that’s why you get the three pyramids. I think, like, how fired up would have meant to being a [bleep] pharaoh, mhm, yeah, [bleep] just lit, like, you are like, that’s right, [bleep], that would have been tight.

So, um, so Khafre and Menkaure, I think I’m saying that wrong, Menkaure, well, we’re not Egyptian, yeah, also built, built their own pyramids, as I went over, and they solidified the plateau status as an important royal necropolis, meaning it’s an entire area, like, if you go there, it’s just, there’s a bunch of stuff, like, there’s, it’s a whole plateau, exactly, it’s not just one pyramid, the Sphinx is even [bleep] right there. That’s right, these pyramids served not only, supposedly, as a tomb, or the grand tombs, but the statements of power and divinity, reinforcing the pharaoh’s role as not only a ruler, yeah, but as a god, yeah, as like, and that’s, I’ve always [bleep], ha, I know, the ego, god king, the, is huge, it’s the biggest of all time, it’s literally next level.

So that’s, I am a god, I was born, and I am a god. So that’s, that’s the very, you know, Cliff Notes version of the pyramids, right? And so we’re going to go over a couple of things so we know more about what we’re talking about in the timeline. Okay, I’m going to give you the real, real, yeah. So I thought it was important to go, what are the kingdoms, when I say Old Kingdom, what does that mean, what the [bleep] are we talking about, yeah, okay, cool words. So traditionally, in, uh, like historical context, ancient Egypt is broken into three kingdoms. There’s the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom.

Okay, now, this is not just like 10 years, this is, wait, one question, cuz when we were going over the other stuff, you said something about the second kingdom, and I think you even said the fourth kingdom or some [bleep] like that. No, we’re talking about a dynasty within the kingdoms. Okay, yeah, so I’m going to blow your [bleep] mind, ready? Yeah, so, so the kingdoms were broken into three, Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, yeah, okay, this is 3,000 years between those three kingdoms. Yes, this is not like, not like a 20 years, this is not like Nixon to Carter, yeah, this is, this is 3,000 years.

Yeah, so let’s just understand what they are. The Old Kingdom is 2686 BCE to 2100 BCE, so it was, like, 2686, was, exact, like, [bleep] started, so it’s a 500 year period, is the Old Kingdom, and it’s referred to as the age of the pyramids. The Old Kingdom is known for the construction of the Great Pyramid, yeah, and the rise of a highly centralized government, pharaoh seen as the divine ruler, the capital was Memphis. It saw lots of trade, architecture, etc. It ended due to internal strife, economic troubles, and weak leadership, and it led to a period of political fragmentation known as the first intermediate period.

Oh, so there was a time of turmoil for about 100 years. Yeah, I think that god kings got a little too godly, yeah, like, [bleep] off, it’s like an Egyptian revolution or something occurred, right? So then we moved into the Middle Kingdom, yeah, we fixed all the problems. This is for you, I could hear all like the [bleep] campaign speeches. Oh yeah, that’s roughly 2000 BCE to 1600 BCE, so it’s another 400 year period. Okay, yeah, the Middle Kingdom is often called the classical age due to artistic achievements, it’s almost like the Renaissance. Yeah, I was just going to say, like, history repeats itself thing, correct, very, very correct.

Um, uh, pharaohs, like, thieves, uh, reunified Egypt, uh, trade and immigration projects expanded, uh, economy got better, there was literature, arts, temples were built, uh, the flourishing began. So interesting, I know, it’s like, shit’s happening right now, [bleep], history over and over and over, that’s crazy, actually, weirdly predictable. Uh, it declined due to foreign invasions. Okay, okay, they’re like, we want their [bleep], the war, you’re, yeah, but foreign invaders, and, you know, coming in, trying to take control, yeah, of different parts, because Egypt was so big, and, you take this part, every major, yeah, they expand too deep, England expanded too much, the Spanish expanded too much, like, expanded too much, that’s right, that’s right.

So then, uh, so that’s like I said, a four, five, 600 year period. Then there was the New Kingdom, and the New Kingdom was 1500 BCE to 1,000 BCE. Now, this is called the Imperial Age, it’s the New Kingdom, it’s an expansion of their influence in other parts of the Middle East, right? This is also where there’s a lot of famous pharaohs that you’ve probably heard of, Ramses, you know, in the Bible, in the Hebrews, you know, the parting the sea, what is it, what that [bleep], what is that animated movie called, Prince of Egypt? So good, I love that movie, it’s amazing. And this is that part, also, this is when King Tut was around, yeah, probably one of the most famous, pH, yeah, that’s right, but I’m just putting this there, because just so you know, this is 1,500 years after they, the pyramids were built.

Wow, so to put that into perspective, it’s thousands of years, this is not like, right now, what do we look at when we think of, maybe, uh, Abe Lincoln, like, that’s a long time ago, like, 120 years, something, 130 years, yeah, like, maybe we think about the 1800s or the 1700s, no, how do they live, and that’s like, kind of maybe 1500s or something, that’s as far back as we go. Yeah, that’s right, so King Tut, let’s just take King Tut or Ramses, they were looking at it a thousand years ago, is when the pyramids were built. Wow, so they were pharaohs going, I don’t know, our ancestors, or whoever [bleep], killed like, whoever built these, we don’t know who built these, yeah, probably, maybe, I don’t know, well, they probably did, I mean, I’m sure they, like, read the hieroglyphs, like, little books, yeah.

So anyways, that’s just like the timelines, and I wanted to go over this just to give you more about, like, this craziness of time, right? So the exact number of pharaohs in ancient Egypt is, of course, debated, but historians can agree there were roughly 170 to 200 pharaohs during ancient Egypt. Is that, like, the longest reigning, like, [bleep] culture of, like, of, you know, cuz [bleep] changes so often, so frequently, it’s like, no, [bleep] is like, no, like, civilization, like, nothing lasts 3,000 years. Else, years, we’re on like year, like, 200, oh [bleep], little sketch, yeah, we don’t know about the next 20 years, no, literally, little than 3,000.

So I was trying, when I was doing this, I was like, okay, well, how do I give them a good analogy, and I was like, oh, well, presidents, no, presidents are not the correct analogy of the kings for the whole life, yeah, that’s right, so there’s only like four or eight years, yeah, mhm, but maybe, uh, Queen Elizabeth, there you go, that’s great, yeah, like the kings or queens, it’s like so, she was, she was ruling during World War II, huh, yeah, as a teenager, or whatever, whatever age she was, yeah, but just imagine 200 of those, that’s insane, wow, so much, does that make sense, like, just to put it into perspective of time.

But in the New Kingdom, that’s when they built the Valley of the Kings, have you ever heard of the Valley of the Kings, this is where King Tut was discovered, okay, the tomb of King Tut, and it’s, uh, 300, 400 miles away from the pyramids, it’s actually super cool looking, if you look at it, it’s like they have all the giant statues of like the [bleep] pharaohs, it’s like super [bleep] cool, but they were built into the mounds of the hills, and they were in an attempt, now, here’s the theory, and the reason why I’m bringing this up, is because looking up pictures, and still to this day, they are finding new things there, dude, for sure, because now I’m going to throw this out as, like, data to go into this whole conspiracy, or this whole mystery, right, is, theoretically, what they say is that they built the pyramids for a tomb, right, mhm, but the tombs were raided, they weren’t protected, no, yeah, so everything was taken out, so those [bleep] thieves came in, they’re like, gold, gold, steal them, yeah, so then a thousand years later they go, I’m never building a pyramid again, because there’s no, no security, no protection.

So the New Kingdom, they built the Valley of the Kings, okay, to better protect the tombs, and how, how are they better protected, like, well, there’s, there’s seals on the door, they’re hidden in a mountain, I mean, we couldn’t, we didn’t find the King Tut’s tomb until 1950, yeah, wow, okay, you know what I mean, like, and it was intact, yeah, full, yeah, right, compared to, so thousands of years later we’re raiding tombs. I think they have King Tut, they have, like, [bleep] sarcophagus, the Paris, I think, in the, um, so anyways, but, and obviously in Sean’s episode and or mine, even, they’re, we’re going to talk about how the main pyramid, while it’s called a tomb, or it’s said to be a tomb, empty, yeah, there was no bodies, so this, I think it was specifically the Great Pyramid, Khufu, that’s right, supposed, Khufu’s too, yeah, so, but the argument is, is maybe this is the logical explanation to why they, it’s because it was raided, okay, and so then, later, why would you take the, take the corpse, [bleep] it, bring him with us, I know, right, I know, there’s no remnants, there’s no, anyways, we’ll get into that, we’ll get into that, but this is like trying to explain why they moved to a different site, and why did they stop building pyramids, cuz they stopped building pyramids.

Yeah, they did, you know, and it’s, I wanted to bring all this up, because it wasn’t like just, like, on a Friday, they said, hey, we’re not doing pyramids anymore, deuces, [bleep], this is 500 years later, yeah, that they just said no more, yeah, probably we don’t have enough rock to make this [bleep], like, [bleep] this, he’s like, I want a 7,000 foot pyramid, like, I’m gonna be the greatest king ever, or they lost the tech on how to do it, but that’s Eric’s argument. Okay, we’ll see, any, we’ll see, lost tech, because the aliens left, yes, yeah, no, or the [bleep] up [bleep], uh, but I have some, I have some other things about the time, and I just want to, again, I want to just bring in the time.

Okay, so when the Great Pyramid was built, woolly mammoths were still around, holy [bleep], could you imagine seeing a [bleep] woolly mammoth, like, this is a dinosaur, you imagine seeing like a two, a two-story elephant, you’re like, what the [bleep]. The time between building the Great Pyramid and Cleopatra is longer than the time Cleopatra to today. That’s insane, it’s so, the time to build it is longer than, no, shorter, no, the, no, the time from when the pyramids were built to when Cleopatra was alive is longer than the time that Cleopatra was alive to now. Okay, wow, that’s [bleep] crazy. So she thought it was history, ancient history, oh, for her, yeah, [bleep], 2,000 years, yeah, yeah, tracking, yeah, anyways, it was just, that’s insane.

Yeah, uh, the Pyramid of Khufu predates the founding of Rome by more than two millennia, and the Romans couldn’t [bleep] build no pyramids, they could get, they could build aqueducts but they, um, yeah, I mean, that’s pretty legit, pretty legit, but it’s a circle, so it’s easy. Rome was traditionally founded, uh, 753 BCE, meaning that the Great Pyramid had already been standing for almost 2,000 years. Dude, the fact my house was built in the 50s, and this [bleep] is like breaking down, this piece of [bleep] is [bleep], like, this concrete sucks, like, everything’s [bleep] broken, God damn it. The Great Pyramid was built before the official invention of paper, so the Chinese, and now this might lend to Sean’s theory, mhm, which is, how is that [bleep] possible that we didn’t even have paper, but we could [bleep] pyramids, we couldn’t write on no [bleep] papyrus.

So, uh, the Chinese are credited as inventing true paper in 100 BCE, which means the Great Pyramid stood for almost 2,500 years before mankind made paper. That’s insane, we actually get into, like, [bleep], great, it makes me think of the Great Wall of China. I know, oh, we should do an episode, dude, we should, that thing is like [bleep], like, how the [bleep] they did that is like beyond me. Yes, do one on that, throw a trillion little Chinese men at, ho, [bleep], like that thing is amazing, it’s crazy. No, you’re helping Eric make his point, don’t say that. The Great Pyramid, little [bleep] extraterrestrials, uh, and I didn’t know this, the Great Pyramid is older than Stonehenge.

The earliest phase of Stonehenge dates to around 3,000 BC, meaning it is slightly older than the periods, but it’s been modified all the way for thousands of years since. But to me, but to me, like, you look, I know it was that old, I know, we did an episode, right, yeah, but, like, when I look at Stonehenge, I’m like, man, they put these rocks together, but I’m like, I look at the pyramids, I’m like, yeah, totally different story. Yeah, it’s totally different story, like, they’re like, look, we put three rocks together, it’s like Magna block, three rocks is like somehow plausible, go back and listen to that episode though.

Yeah, but the pyramids, like, yeah, get the [bleep] out of here. Great Pyramid existed before concept of coins existed, what was the currency, the official minted first coin that we know is in modern-day Turkey, around 600 BCE, meaning the pyramids already existed for 2,000 years before we even had coins, like, denominations of, like, so how many years before, coin, coin was not a whole lot, compared, was actually the first currency ever created. Uh, Great Pyramid was built before the domestication of horses in Africa, so they’re probably using cows and [bleep] or, or woolly mammoth, yeah, was right away, maybe, that’s how they transported the rocks, woolly mammoth.

So I wanted to bring all those, like, random time references, of just going, whoa, how far back is this, what are we talking about, also, like, you know, when you look at it, it’s like it’s easy to forget how much time it actually is, mhm, because they built, like, you know, we’re like, oh, you know, decades, blah, but, like, rarely do, in normal conversation, do you talk about, like, millennium, like millennia, like thousands of years, thousands of years, it’s so, and it’s also, like, there, you can, like, take a plane ride and go visit it, like, it’s, you know, so it makes it a little bit more, like, I don’t know, like, present time, you know, you don’t think about how long ago it was, like, it’s so [bleep] long ago.

Okay, and so now, uh, onto the basics of building in the Great Pyramid, yeah, and this is just, this is again, this goes back to, like, what is agreed upon in non-theory, what we think is happening. Now, I just want to preface this with, they don’t know, they don’t know, this is all speculative, it’s speculative, it’s just what, that’s right, you, obviously, if you’re a researcher and you’re a scientist, you need to have some sort of answer to, like, ground you in, like, in your reality, yeah, that’s right, so they have to agree upon something, like, to make it make sense, otherwise they’ll go [bleep] crazy, yeah, that’s right, and so, uh, a lot of the times you’re going to hear me, and when I am explaining this, they’re going to go, theories exist, and or the agreed upon opinion, because they can’t, like, this is, yeah, this, not fact, yeah, but truth be told, it’s not, it’s not fact, it’s not 100% known, yeah, okay, good.

So the Great Pyramid was constructed using approximately 2.3 million limestone blocks, weighing between 1 and 15 tons, depending on the block. The precise methods used are a subject of study and non-exact explanation, but archaeological evidence suggests a combination of ramps, levers, and sleds to transport and position the stones. Workers likely used water to reduce friction while moving heavy blocks on sledges across the desert sand, mhm, and or if there was sand, then, of course, 100% makes sense, tracking, [bleep], yeah. So there are several ramp theories that exist, including the straight ramp, zigzagging ramp, an internal spiral ramp, um, which might have been used to lift the massive stones higher as the pyramid grew, meaning doing a level at a time, mhm, the precise alignment, scaffolding, actually good, funny you brought that up, uh, I went to Hong Kong, um, I mean, many years ago, but I went to Hong Kong, and I was walking around the streets, and it’s a major metropolis, like, it’s huge, massive, billion [bleep] there, it’s like, uh, you ever play the game Sim City?

No, but I know you know what I’m talking about, he just, like, put up a building and put up a building, just and never, never end, they all look the same. There, huge high-rises, and then I was walking down one of the streets, and I look up, and it’s like a 78 story building, and it’s bamboo, bamboo scaffolding, I don’t know why they, bamboo, there was bamboo, and a dude was like hanging on the bamboo, and I was like, what the [bleep] is going on, this is like 2018, guys, come on, this is not 2000 BCE, there’s [bleep] metal, you don’t need [bleep] bamboo, anyway.

So I don’t know, take that info for what it’s worth, but it was still, it’s still used, I don’t know, yeah, yeah, so there’s internal spiral ramps, or at least the suggestion of, which might have been used to lift the massive stones higher as the pyramid grew, the precise alignment of the pyramids with the cardinal points and their near perfect symmetry indicate the use of sophisticated surveying techniques and or astronomical knowledge, of which has not been proved in the documentation of Egyptians. Yes, yeah, which we will get into on episode two, that’s right, don’t you worry. Contrary to earlier theories that slave labor built the pyramids, this has been the biggest, last, I’m sorry, just to say this, for the last six years, me and Eric have been arguing about this.

True, this is actually, this is what prompted the, even the discussion, or the idea of having a podcast, was this exact, this exact argument. Let’s try it, so true. So over the last 30 years, this is the theory with archaeologists today, yeah, or at least in the last 20 or 30 years, is that they found, um, findings suggest that there were skilled laborers and seasonal workers across Egypt, and they were employed, tradesmen, seasonal workers, seasonal slaves, seasonal slaves, be free in six months, baby, trust me on this, you gonna work off the slavery, this is the way, I was trying to find another analogy on this, and it was kind of like, you know, you got, you need, you need teenagers to work the mall in Christmas, yeah, and so you get seasonal workers to work the mall at six bucks an hour, this, what it is, we want, me to say, except you don’t get paid, you’re a slave, we don’t have coins yet, I don’t know how to pay, like, there’s no coins, but here’s why they went to that conclusion, is because they actually found, like, digs, and they found archaeological, like, remains, that there was, uh, like, unearthed excavations of uncovering villages in, with, that had bakeries, breweries, medical areas, including, uh, laborers that were well fed and well housed.

They included stonemasons, engineers, artisans, etc, who had carving tools, transportation, all remnants of pyramid, uh, debris and or, I think it’s a little speculative, I think it’s super, it’s super speculative though, that to find, like, oh, we found a bakery, they were well fed, how the [bleep] do you know they were well fed, like, yeah, like, even if they’re slaves, they have to sleep, they die, they were fed enough, eating each other, hello, well fed. So, point made, and now this might be a dark path that we take on this conversation, but if let’s just say they were slaves, you still need to feed them, of course, yeah, that’s my point, that’s my point, so you can have a bakery, and even if they, I don’t know if they were employees or slaves, but I’m saying, if they were slaves, you would still have those facilities, because, have to feed them, like, even if you have slaves, you need them to survive, in order for them to, you value, and you need medical, yeah, of course, you need all these things to keep them going, as a workforce, as a workforce, yeah, and you’d be stupid to not feed them, or that could have been part of the community, just part of the community, just, that’s right, there could have been a community living near the water, river, I’m open to that, I’m open to that fact, that I’m totally open, that they weren’t all slaves, yeah.

So these workers lived in a well organized camp for that ancient time, and had designated tasks per camp, so they excavated these little camps that were communities, and be like, there’s the Masons, there’s the bread makers, and then there’s the, you know, that sort of thing, yeah, okay, good, segregation. Farmers, yeah, I know, you’re like, stuck with farmers, that’s why they make those board games, you’re like, I’m a farmer when I start out, banker like Kan, or whatever, called, [bleep]. So there were hieroglyphic inscriptions that suggested that workers were proud of their role, often inscribing messages on the walls that reflected their camaraderie and dedication, but we don’t really know what the hieroglyphs mean, it’s all, no, we, we translated hieroglyphs, yeah, there’s, well, so the argument is like, are they just chance, they’re just [bleep] taking a, the best guess, yeah, they’re like, it looks like these [bleep] are happy as F, they love it, this a smiling face, but here’s the argument, and I don’t mean to get dark, yeah, but if you go to a slave, slave quarters of more recent times, it was really terrible, and there was, it was, it was probably not like, man, me and Shawn really got [bleep] done today, yeah, there was no, there wasn’t necessarily like inscribing of camaraderie, no, it was like, we got to escape immediately, it was like, how many days, I’m in this hell, yeah, another edge on the ball.

So the idea is, is that if they found, saying there was camaraderie and dedication and proud achievement, how could they be slaves? Okay, it’s a good point, I guess, I can see that argument, but, again, I still think maybe indentured servants, the, what, maybe they’re just indentured servants, they weren’t slaves, what, say, indentured, indentured servants, which, in essence, is slave, but it’s like an indentured servant, like, dedicated, yeah, you’re like, hey, like, you’re my servant, and, like, you’re like, I’m here to serve the pharaoh, I’m here to serve, you’re my servant for x amount of time, and then after that time you can do whatever the [bleep] you want, okay, so, whereas a slave is like, I own you, you’re my property, and indentured servitude is like, yeah, oh, usually, when I think, when it first, like, came about, it was like, okay, you were a criminal, now you’re like, you’re going to be my servant for ex, it’s almost like prison, but, like, you’re my servant, and then after you’ve served your time, you’re then free, and you’re also, like, I, Jorge, saved my life, so I’m actually, I’m to you, like, I’m to you, yeah, I’m, I love you, man, like, I, whatever you need, yeah, like, I will serve you extendedly out, outside of my contract, or whatever contract, or, yeah, like, yeah, um, so anyway, so that’s the concept, but again, and to actually support Sean a little bit on this side, is, uh, I always find that even if it’s a picture, or a language that may be dead, we might not understand the translation fully, and, yeah, yeah, 100%.

And it’s, you’re all guessing, cuz you don’t have anything, you don’t have, like, a comparable thing to bounce it off of, it’s like, you know, obviously, you know, people still, like, you know, for example, like, most of our language nowadays, in present time, is derived from Latin, but people still speak Latin, people still know Latin, so you can, yeah, it’s confirmed, because they speak it, no one has written hieroglyphs for thousands of years, so you’re guessing, and you’re guessing, so who knows what they really, right, and again, we didn’t learn about how to read hieroglyphs until thousands of years later, yeah, 100%, so you go back to the telephone game, of, like, super, we get, we get deep concepts, but maybe we don’t, maybe we misunderstand.

Also, like, imagine, like, someone who’s trying to learn English, and English is notorious for being one of the hardest languages to link, because we got all these, like, T for T, [bleep] for this, it’s all the nuances, it’s all the nuances of that language, like, for example, one of the most things in English is, like, you have seven words that mean seven different things, but they’re all the same word, like, look at all the definitions for small common words, like, yeah, you know it, yes, like, it’s like, what, it can mean 18 different things. So maybe you have one concept of what that could mean, but maybe, in context or out of context, it means something different, right, like, if it’s, you know, say, if this [bleep] swan hieroglyph is next to this one, it means something different, or, as opposed to, you know, same thing with calligraphy, like, and you look at, you know, like Chinese or Japanese symbols, like, one symbol can mean multiple things, or one symbol can mean, like, a sentence, it just depends on, it depends on, like, a whole context, of usage, and that’s probably the closest thing to hieroglyphic for sure.

What the [bleep] are, imagine, like, not imagine, like, if some of, one of us here, like, looks at, you know, Chinese writing, you’re like, it’s a total guess, no idea, [bleep] total guess, lines, yeah, at least the hieroglyphics, like, have some sort of picture, right. I was, uh, recently, in preparation for this, I was listening to a podcast on, um, language, and trying to understand ancient things, and I wasn’t, like, trying to learn hieroglyphs, but it was, like, exactly what you’re saying, which is that in hieroglyphs, hieroglyphs, there’s, there’s concepts for one single photo or image, yeah, and it’s not the same in, in English is, uh, phonetic, meaning it’s sound, you, what I mean, like, phonetic is different than conceptual imagery.

No, of course, and that’s what I’m saying, like, I think context probably has a lot to do with how they would then create, you create a concept based on, yeah, them connecting together, and so I just think, I think we may have a good idea, maybe a good, even a good grasp of potentially what they mean, but it’s really impossible to know, right? Yeah, exactly. So, um, just a couple things about the daily life of what it was like to live in ancient Egypt, so we understand what’s, uh, of vlog of ancient Egypt, a vlog IRL, baby, Egypt. So it was surprisingly structured, um, there were pharaohs, obviously, at the top, and they were followed by nobles, priests, scribes, artisans, and farmers.

The majority of Egyptians were farmers, yeah, the bottom of the totem pole, yeah, and they cultivated wheat, barley, and flax, I don’t know if you’ve ever had, like, flax seeds and stuff, um, the markets were bustling with traders, uh, from pottery to linen, jewelry, and food, etc, homes ranged from simple mud brick structures to elaborate villas for the, a little bit higher, on the middle, middle class, balling, religion, slanging them, [bleep] shells, now just imagine, religion was different, but it played a major role in Egypt. Um, it wasn’t like it is today, where there’s a majority of the population is Christian and or Catholic, or Muslim, I think Muslims are actually the largest religion on Earth, over a billion people, then Catholicism, and then all the, obviously, branch things from Catholic, all Christianity and all the different sects of Christianity, and then Judaism, and then all the other, so just imagine, this is the biggest civilization for it, but I think they, and they were all one religion, is you’re saying, is that what you’re about to say, or no, it’s, I think it’s different though, because it’s just a different vibe.

You would, no, because they all believed in the same structure, the same structure of religion, but you would devote, a lot of people would devote their allegiance to one particular god. That’s right, so they all believed in all the gods, but you would, like, say if you’re a farmer, maybe you’d focus on the agricultural god, or, like, of, like, the dead, you know, you focus, let’s just say, pretend you’re a farmer, like, what is your life, it’s agriculture, and get up at 4:00 a.m., go, go, go, work the field, but, but, from my, from my Earth standpoint, what is the most important thing to you, it’s probably the Nile, yeah, either the Nile, the water, or the sun, yeah, and or the sun, right, so those are probably your two gods, and you would probably pray to those [bleep] only, like, you don’t, their temp, like, this is my family, like, like, this is, so you know what I mean, while if you’re a pharaoh, it might be different, yeah, you know what I mean, totally different, or you’re an artisan, and you’re a pottery person, it’s about your mud and your, you know, whatever.

So there were many gods, but they all believed in the same gods, but you would focus on a specific, okay, there you go, yeah. Now, of course, we’re not, like, scholars in the religion of ancient Egypt, so, yes, we are, so don’t give us a goddamn comment, I know, people, like, you guys suck, so anyways, I’m just trying to give you the lay of the land of Egypt, and, you know, the life of that, and, you know, that sort of thing. So I also, uh, made notes of what were the tools that we knew of in ancient Egypt, because as we go over later on in this series, it’s like, what, like, could they have done this?

Okay, so what tools did they have available, did they have no tools, did they have [bleep], my diamond tips, exactly, right? Okay, so here’s what we do know. Okay, they had copper chisels and saws, mhm, copper, what a, what a really great, solid, ultra malleable metal, so this was used for cutting softer limestone, and copper tools were ineffective against hard stone. Yeah, the reason that is, is because copper is an extraordinarily malleable metal, just like gold is, gold is very malleable, malleable means you can, it can be manipulated, molded into a different shape, yeah, so if it was, uh, the entire thing was built of gold, easy peasy, you just mold and, sh, would this, yes, of which we’d be hella rich, because, the rich, I would have robbed this [bleep], I don’t mean in Egypt.

Right now, they had something called dollar, right, pounders, which were hammerstones, and they were heavy stone balls made from hard rock, and were used to pound and break apart granite and limestone. Oh, so use like a harder rock to break the bigger rock, that’s right, this kind of like the old school hammer, like essentially, yeah, yeah, put in, like, a big, in a big ball and just throw, the break it, sledgehammer, yeah, exactly. Uh, they had copper, not accurate, [bleep], break, they had copper drills, and it was used with sand as an abrasive to drill into the stone, especially to make carvings and smooth surfaces.

Okay, okay, uh, in order, and this is the category of transport and lifting, right, cuz we’re going to take up, could they [bleep] lift this [bleep] or not, they had wooden sledges, so it’s, heavy stones were placed on wooden sledges and dragged across the desert, yeah, owned, pretty much, like a wooden, like a little [bleep], like wooden, like new flyer [bleep], dragging this [bleep] across sand. Okay, have any of you ever been to the beach with a cooler? Yeah, I mean, sweet Jesus, might as well be driving a, dragging a corpse, stroller, dude, it’s impossible, it’s impossible, [bleep], just sinks right into the sand, very true, imagine 80 tons on top of the, the [bleep] out of here.

Now, they have, they put in here that they theorize, big word, yeah, theorize that they use water, and they poured it onto the sand to reduce friction. Okay, okay, okay, but it’s hard to provide evidence of using water 4,000 years ago, and using water for, like, 600 miles, that’s why they, okay, be like, man, that [bleep] used water on that one, I could tell, I tell you right now, yeah, that’s clearly mud track. When was that, Friday? No, no, no, 4,000, 4,000, give or take, give or take, yep. Okay, again, and this is in parenthesis, speculative, of course, this is all speculative, this entire podcast, speculative, they had rope and pulley systems, uh-huh, not confirmed, some evidence of which I don’t have listed here, mhm, some evidence suggests that they used a basic rope system to maneuver and lift stones and transport stones.

Hey, Bob, Bob, what’s that evidence? Oh, I just steried it, yeah, like the only thing, no, I found a thread, I found a rope thread, and I don’t want to get, I don’t want to get too deep into, like, the conjecture, yeah, before I get into my episode, obviously, but pulleys are great, pulleys are very good, but, yeah, the, this, the one thing about a pulley is, you have to have a pulley on a thing that can also hold the weight of the thing that you’re pulling up, you realize that, right? So a pulley, it’s, you’re like a, uh, what’s that, uh, the lever, leverage, no.

So, yeah, so I have a pulley that is, I have a pulley that’s in the air, and the pulley is hanging on something, and the pulley is creating a fulcrum, and it’s allowing, it’s allowing me to, it’s allowing me to lift, like, just like when you use a crowbar, you put the crowbar under something heavy, it creates a lever, creates a fulcrum, which allows you to, obviously, lift exponentially more than you could lift by yourself, but on a pulley system, a pulley is in the air, a pulley is at a higher vantage point than the thing that you’re lifting, so in order for a pulley to be relevant, you need to have, does have to be in the air, it could be perpendicular, like, or is that perpendicular, horizontal, right, and so, like, it’s in front of you, and then you’re just using it to pull, 100%, but how do you get a stone into the air?

You don’t do it, but [bleep], sideways. Oh, yeah, yeah, well, I wasn’t thinking about there, I was just thinking about, like, pulling it linear, but at some point I was thinking, like, pulling system for making it go higher, and it has to be on something that can then withstand the weight of the thing that you’re pulling, so, obviously, for the linear, for the linear, okay, I can, for the bottom, for the bottom level, for the bottom level, 100%, I can see that, I see that, you got your first step on that, on that, hour one, first step is like, I got the pulley, no, honestly, honestly, in doing all this, I was like, I could figure out the bottom, you know, the bottom part, dude, I can make a big square, I make a big [bleep], yes, I know how they built it, and just bury me under it, put me under the rocks.

Okay, but before we, yeah, yeah, I’m not going to get too deep, but that’s, so the other part, or the other technology that they had, or whatever, is mud brick ramps and or causeways, and these were ramps, possibly straight and or zigzagged and or spiraled, helping the workers move stones up to higher levels. So you’ve seen kind of visuals, or, or AI created, or 3D renderings of whatever, of these massive ramps coming from the Nile, transporting the stone, and then a slow, gradual increase up, six weeks later, the one [bleep] block. Well, the one thing they had is time, like, but they should, they built this [bleep] in 20 years, bro, they had time, they built it in, years, was it 20 years, 20 years, it’s about 20 years, I’ve never done anything for 20 years straight though, dude, I, I can’t, 20 years, okay, I thought, I thought for some reason, thought it was over hundreds of years, this is why I think they were, sl, I think that was one of your arguments before, that’s why, yeah, but before we did this, that was one of Eric’s arguments, he’s like, oh, they built this over hundreds of years, like, man, man can do anything over hundreds of years, we don’t know, anyway, we’re back to that, like, how do you get people to do something like that for 20, like, I’m sorry, like, that’s why I think they were slaves, yeah, because, like, at one point, I like, can I do something else, anything else, like, I [bleep] rather die than move another stone, this [bleep], like, [bleep] this, [bleep], you can’t pay me enough for this, I quit.

Okay, so then, in the category of measuring and surveying tools, this is what we know, they created something called plumb bobs, plumb bob, and they were weighted tools used to ensure vertical alignment in construction, it’s not like a bob, it’s like kind of a leveling tool. Oh, so they had, like, they had [bleep], mhm, advanced, then they had A-frame levels, which were early tools to check if a surface was level, kind of like, uh, you know, the little bubble, you know what I mean, they’re, like, perfect, the level, uh, obviously they had ropes and knots, we know this from all the excavation, used to measure precise distances and maintain accuracy and alignment.

Okay, they had ropes and knots, I didn’t have [bleep] paper, what the [bleep], like, literally, levelers, we got all this, [bleep] is a wild idea. Okay, check this out, brother, check this out, brother, I’m going to, we’re going to cut down that tree, we’re going to shave it, we’re going to shave it so thin, like, what do you mean, how thin, like, 8 in, no, no, thinner than 8 in, like, and then we can [bleep] ride on this [bleep], and what’s the purpose of it, to put a, to put a words, yeah, what you see this, like, the kumquat that I have, we’re going to take the juice and we’re going to make symbols with it on the shaved, like, it’s a wild concept, like yours, my legacy right here.

All right, get back to the slave quarters, like, move more rocks, sir. Okay, so they had ropes, they had knots, uh, for measuring, etc, you do distances, you do, okay, this is going to be this length, etc, uh, they had something called the merkhet, which was an inst, is called the instrument of knowing, a device that helped astronomers and builders align structures with celestial bodies that matched up with the stars. This sounds like some [bleep] alien [bleep] to me, bro. Yeah, okay, next category, quarrying and stone extraction, okay, yeah, this is a big one, so they had copper pickaxes, sorry, copper, that [bleep] would bend so hard against granite, so then they used those for softer stones, to use those axes, although the stone pounders were more effective for the hard ones, yeah.

Then they had fire and water quarrying, which was, some theories suggest that Egyptians heated stone with fire and then cooled it, oh, so with water, to create those cracks, the rapid cooling would then create cracks, yeah, it’s like the stress fracturing, okay, there you go. So those are some of the tools that I have found that they can confirm that they did have, no, makes, of course they didn’t have a pyramid builder, they didn’t have a pyramid builder machine 2.0, li, mind [bleep], giant, absolutely. So, you know, there you go, so originally the pyramids were complexes containing temples, apparently, where priests conducted rituals, and or it was kind of like going to Sunday service, where you would have a temple, and then some thought that the pyramids were then also used as those services.

Yeah, okay, that makes sense, yeah. So, uh, they conducted those rituals, now just imagine, before the Valley of the Kings, right, cuz this, hundreds of years before it, this is where they would, a pharaoh would pass, and they would do the service in there, in the chapel, like a funeral, they, uh, [bleep] they [bleep] take out his organs and [bleep], exactly, and, um, I almost started, I almost put together a few things about mummification, but I decided not to, because we’re not, I mean, we’re not going into Egyptian mummification, it’s still pretty cool, like, that technology, pretty wild, really smart, what they did to preserve the [bleep] bodies.

Yeah, astronomy played a crucial role in ancient Egyptian civilization, influencing their religious beliefs, the calendar that they made, the architectural achievements, etc. Egyptians closely observed the movements of the sun, the moon, the stars, and the flooding of the Nile as significant religious astronomy events, and I also feel like astronomy, like, you know, before, like, the advent of [bleep] modern technology, and, like, the internet, like the Hubble telescope, like, all you had was what was available to you, and so I think there was such a, it was such a significance that was put on, like, the celestial bodies, and, like, oh, yeah, can you imagine, can you imagine how, uh, deity, like, the stars would be to you, dude, holy [bleep], you imagine if we didn’t have the internet, I’d be [bleep] staring at those [bleep] the whole time, and you didn’t, you didn’t know that they were just stars, you have no idea what they are, giant balls of gas, like, what the [bleep] is that, so, of course, imagine seeing, imagine the first one that figures out, like, constellation, like, I think that looks like a belt, belt, a belt, a belt, like, oh, my God, that’s my belt, my belt is in the sky, but, I totally, I understand why they go, wow, these are the gods, mhm, right, 100%, I understand it, because right now we use a scientific approach, and go, these are stars in a galaxy in a universe, etc, and it’s a science scenario, yeah, but before, if you didn’t know that, I would be like, that’s my homie right there, that’s my guy, I, you look at the sun, like, oh, the life bringer, and not like, oh, look at this giant nuclear reaction, this guy’s sick, and people still use, uh, horoscopes or whatever, yeah, absolutely, absolutely, people are, come on, you don’t believe in any of that [bleep].

No, Capricorns, and, no, I don’t believe that, like, that when I was born affects who I am, on, uh, horoscope or whatever, I have a shitty Libra tattoo on my back. I do, oh, my God, it’s terrible, you used to be, I’m getting it covered, you used to be, it was my first tattoo, I just wanted something, I didn’t know what to do, I’m a Taurus, I’m a Capricorn, yeah, so, yeah, like, how about you just tell yourself what you are, based on, were you born, you know what’s crazy, though, is even, we just ridiculed it, but we know, I, dude, I have a, I have a, you just said, like, right out the gate, you knew exactly what you were, yeah, isn’t that wild, that we know, I have a literal tattoo on my body, I know, right, if I didn’t know, I’d be really weird, got it wrong, damn it, no regret, no, I just always find it interesting that we know, and, like, there’s a, well, there’s a sign significance, there’s some grab to that, I don’t know, I don’t know what it is, but anyways, so the point I’m trying to make, though, is how important the gods were, that, of course, the pyramids are aligned to the stars, of course, of course, and I think it’s, I think it’s, what do you mean, what do, what we just went over, how important the stars are to them as gods, okay, of course they would want to, but how did they do it?

It doesn’t matter about how, we’ll get into that, on, matter about how to a precise degree, Sean, I’m trying to just, I’m just trying to, like, lay down the argument of, of course they would do that, yeah, no, of course, of course, they, I don’t know how yet, well, I do know how, but you know, we haven’t got to that. Okay, but what I’m just trying to say, I’m just trying to say, the importance of it, it makes sense, of course it does, make sense, it does make sense, yeah, okay, good. Next, and just the last part of this, is the Egyptian astronomers also used their knowledge to align their temples in the pyramids with the celestial body.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is precisely aligned with the cardinal points, it’s exactly due north, it’s, it’s 0, it’s like 0.05 degrees off, right, which is like such a small fraction, it’s like ridiculous, so let’s not get into how they did it, but they did do it, like, the, how that for sure, how that is, is, is completely, with their [bleep] copper pickaxes, like, the [bleep] out of here, bro. Now, some of these passages are thought to point towards those significant stars, meaning, like, if you have, you ever met somebody who’s always using their arguments to go towards a conclusion, yes, like you, so, Eric, yeah, no, I know, some, like, no, I’m just saying, like, if you’re always looking for that answer, you’ll find a way to just, will you, you will find that answer, of course, so in theory, there’s, like, that’s your truth, no matter what, back to that unshakable.

So the argument here is, is that, of course, out of the trillion stars that exist in constellations, of, it’s gonna find one, because that’s the argument we want, because that, yeah, exactly, okay, okay, yeah, okay, all right, okay. So after the Old Kingdom, pyramid construction declined, they just stopped, bu, so after the Old Kingdom they just stopped doing it, it’s not cost effective, boys, yeah, so we’re like, not going to do this anymore, 100%, what, that’s what, uh, that’s what historians think. I mean, true, just, it’s just, government spending is rampant, actually, actually, remember, remember we did the moon episode, and we did the follow-up episode, we did the moon, and then we did the follow-up, and in the follow-up we all kind of concluded, there’s just no [bleep] point of going back, why are we dumping this cat trillions of dollars to go get a rock, I like, sick, like, it has no valuable elements, awesome.

So that is the theory of why they stopped, cuz it’s like pointless, it’s pointless, like, there was no thing, then they also determined to do the Valley of the Kings, to do what, the val, valley, valley, why don’t we just put everyone in, like, in a funeral home, yes, instead of, like, a [bleep] pyramid, a graveyard, exactly, like the first cemetery, they’re like, [bleep] it, why put them underneath the ground, don’t put them in the cave, yes. Okay, and I’m going to blow your mind here, you ready, Arlington Cemetery, right, I’ve been there, I’ve been there, that is considered the United States royalty of graveyards, it is, yeah, right, 100%, that is, it’s like an honor to be buried there, it’s a legit honor.

So the conclusion is, and obviously I’m fast forwarding many centuries and thousands of years, but pyramids were the first, Valley of the Kings, oh, then, then they’re, like, in the ground, okay, more the evolution of mankind into proper burials. It’s also, like, as more people, no, it’s also, like, there’s a there’s a concept of, like, limited space, like, there’s only so much space, and then you’re like, okay, we’re advancing as a civilization, where the populace is growing, like, we can’t really, like, yep, can’t sustain, can’t really expand this much space, yeah, on, like, [bleep] one homie and his wife, like, and they’re also dead, yeah, they’re not going to, like, come back and [bleep] at us, call it quits, they’re also, yeah, great point.

Okay, so over the centuries the Great Pyramids have withstood natural erosion, which is always extremely wild to me, because you take ruins of, um, even the Coliseums, falling apart, dude, it’s all falling apart, it’s falling apart, but the pyramids are not really, dude, they’re [bleep] killing the game, 5,000, like, like I mentioned earlier, my house is built, legit, [bleep], 70 years ago, and this thing is like a [bleep], I could punch the wall and, like, blow my house up, but if you do Google it, uh, it’s an interesting thing to visualize, which is the, how they think it originally was smooth, and or there was some, uh, stone on the outside that is, God, yeah, yeah, that is on, in some sort of, like, glimmering, yeah, gleaming, supposedly, stone, and I will go over how it was polished, and it was very shiny, it was, it was very, it was like a [bleep] beacon almost.

But despite all of this, the core structure remains intact, and it continues to draw researchers, archaeologists, visitors, etc, there’s never ending studies about going inside the pyramid, a ground penetrating radar, thermal imaging, finding the secret chambers within it, and what the [bleep] is going on. Um, and, uh, the preservation of the pyramids is, obviously, an ongoing challenge, with, uh, thousands of people visiting, environmental factors, etc, and all of this jeopardizes what really happened, and what, no, of course, because, like, the longer it goes, like, the less evidence you have, yeah, just like, as in anything, it’s the great destroyer of all things is time, because, obviously, nothing is permanent, and it will eventually, er, I mean, look at the Grand Canyon, like, you know, Grand Canyon, supposedly, was built over water erosion, over millennium, yeah, and, like, look at how vast and, like, obnoxiously insane that is, a trickle of water, yeah, [bleep] created this ridiculously immense, this, like, gorge in the Earth, right, like, it’s wild.

Yeah, so in concluding, the basic fact of the matter is, you have this massive structure that was built thousands of years, not only ago, but before modern development of tools, yes, and they’re using [bleep] copper, bro, that’s Jesus, it’s like using plastic. Yeah, and so, so to this day, I mean, even for me, it’s a bucket list for humanity, like, I want to go there, oh, I really want to go there, you know what I mean, even if it’s a tourist, the second we get enough money in the podcast account to [bleep] go, we absolutely, so, and you have, you know, what sucks, though, like, whenever you see, I’ve seen videos online of people that share when they go there, and it’s just like, so many people there, so commercial, it’s so commercialized, too, and there’s, like, a whole, like, and then they show, like, a view taco, literally, and it’s like, oh, my God, that just ruins it.

Well, see, I want to, like, I want us to do, like, private tour, like, billion, private tour, that’s what I’m talking about, just do a Michael Jackson thing where we rent the pyramids, we just rent the pyramids, how, like, did Disneyland do it, we just rent the pyramids, rent the pyramids, no problem, we’ll go to the office of Antiquities, yeah, I, exactly, what’s going to cost me, bro, buddy, just want, six hours, yeah, like, under the table, I’m a cash, you, dude, if I was Mr. Beast, that’s what I would, oh, I 100% do, oh, dude, if I had the money, I would, def, I would not, no question, he need, make an episode over there, I know, honestly, it’s actually a good idea for him.

Yeah, all right, there you go, I mean, that is the basic concept, obviously, it’s a Cliff Notes, uh, it’s your quick lesson in Egyptian history, um, but, you know, if you, you probably got more out of that than, you know, maybe a semester in, actually, learned, there was a ton of [bleep] that I didn’t know, lot of, there’s a lot of [bleep], and, guys, like, look, don’t give us [bleep], [bleep] for this being like a history lesson, you have to understand everything before you can make a logical conclusion on what, at least we could do a basic study lesson, like a basic, and it’s also, it’s also really easy for me to be like, well, aliens built in, but if I didn’t know, like, if you didn’t really look into the history, and, like, I’ve made all my conclusions knowing all this stuff, yeah, because I’ve looked into it, and I’ve read, and I’ve read books, and I’ve listened to audiobooks, and I’ve listened, I’ve watched documentaries, and I’ve done all this [bleep].

So this, we do this, like, I just want everyone to know that we actually do this for you, yeah, like, because we’d be doing you a disservice if we just told you a conspiracy and tried to get you to tie on to conspiracy without knowing the information, because if someone tries to tell you something without giving you the foundation to make your own decision, you should not trust that person, right? Right, at all, yeah, like, you should be able to make your own, you should come to your own conclusions based on all the information available, yeah, and, obviously, this isn’t all the information available, but we’re trying to give you some of it, yeah, otherwise it’d be like [bleep] 10 episodes.

I know, right, God, it’d be the whole podcast, no, and there’s, uh, I’m in the middle of one, and it depends on the topic, because you could take just pottery, you could spend 10 hours going over the pottery of ancient civilization, or Egyptian, whatever. So I’m just excited that we’re doing it, [bleep], number one, 100th episode, but number two, it’s actually pretty [bleep], like, I don’t know, kind of even, like, nostalgic, cuz, like, you guys, we kind of went over it at the beginning, but, like, oh, yeah, right now we’re in Sean’s backyard, and we’ve had this exact same conversation so many times, actually, literally, here, literally, here, during Co, I think, lit, and I’m not even kidding you guys, this is what’s created the podcast, this conversation created the podcast, it’s just fun.

So it’s pretty obvious that, like, you know, humanity built the pyramids, oh, my God, like, 99, but anyways, well, I’ll have my own time, yeah, you have your, also, I don’t know if you noticed that I gave myself an extra week or two. I’ll information, put it all together, shucker, there you go, guys, uh, I hope you enjoyed the episode, I hope you got something out of it, um, you know, again, take, take the info that you know, there’s thousands of hours that you can research, we love comments, feedback, uh, we’re not historians, we’re not doctors, we’re just like you, and it’s like trying to get to the bottom of things, and we’re also not foolish enough to think that we know everything, we definitely do not, there you go, 100%, do not, that’s the most important part.

Make sure you follow us, make sure you get your comp pod, make sure you join, join our Patreon, and we’ll, you clack, yeah, yeah, go, click, click, clack, everything, click, click, clack, no, no, follow us, honestly, if you enjoy the show, uh, it’s very hard to podcast, I don’t know, ex, it’s extremely difficult, there it is, not, it’s not a profitable endeavor. Here’s, here’s a stat for you, share, yeah, here’s a stat for you, most, or, it’s actually 91% of podcasts don’t make it past the ninth episode, holy, the ninth episode, yes, but a lot of people go, like, well, how could I help, I can’t do anything, well, here’s what you can do, is you can leave a review, yes, yes, you can leave a good review, yeah, positive review, and you can, you can listen, yes, and you can share, yes, tell your mom, tell your friend, yeah, share it on socials, all that sort of thing.

So yeah, there you go, that’s what you can do, and that helps more than you could [bleep] imagine, yeah, and so in episode two, yeah, baby, it’s coming up next week, and this is Sean’s episode, and if you wanted to, like, plug it, you know what I mean, yeah, if you really, we’re going to get in a super, super deep dive, and this is going to be all the juice that you’re looking for, and I know if you’re listening to this first one, if you even got to this point without, like, checking out, cuz history lesson, man, this is where we’re going to get into the good [bleep].

Yeah, I promise you, you go, all right, we’ll catch you guys next time, I love you guys so much, and, as always, night and night.
