ππ This video provides a visual perspective on how difficult it is to move multi-ton blocks of granite, & how difficult moving #megalithic stones with modern technology, let alone many thousands of years ago. The key is alternative & #ancient methodologies. #Archaeology
ππ I've always had several issues with the accepted hypothesis of how the #Pyramids of #Giza were built. As a Construction professional specializing in the area of logistical coordination & application of construction methodologies I feel compelled to speak my mind. #Archeology
ππ These calculations assume 500 stones a day. This is a rough estimate, assuming a 8-hour day, 290 days a year, with 20 years to build the pyramid. Also assuming that more time had to be used for the huge granite blocks for the King's chamber & upper part of the #pyramid.
ππ1/2: The #Giza Pleateu is home to some of the most astonishing #ancient#megalithic structures on the planet. Many question how it was built as these fascinating structures seemed to have been built using some technologies more advanced than our modern day tools. #Archaeology
ππ 2/2 I think most people don't understand what they are looking at, this stone was a practice stone being worked on by the #civilization that proceeded the original, they tried to replicate the work that had been done previously effortlessly. #Archaeology#Megalithic#Ancient
ππ In 2003 the Secret Tunnel Of The Pyramid of #FeatheredSerpent was discovered beneath the #Pyramid in the #ancient ruins of #Teotihuacan. It remained undisturbed for 2,000 years. The sealed-off passage was found to contain thousands of extraordinary treasures. #Archaeology
ππ The secret tunnel was discovered by using a radar. It was a group of researchers from Mexico's National University,Β back in 2003 in the ancient city of #Teotihuacan, #Mexico, located about 30 miles NE of Mexico City. #Archaeology#Megalithic#Ancient#Pyramid

ππ According to recent research, there is evidence of a 4th #Pyramid which was said to be dismantled in 1759, & it took 10 months. This pyramid would have been different from the others, around 100 ft smaller than the others and apparently had a cube on top. #Archaeology#Giza
ππ P1: A 4th great #Pyramid of #Giza in the 1700's was documented & sketched along with the 3 that we know about today by a Danish naval captain. It may now finally have been found by a space outside the #Menkaure enclosure. #Archeology#lost4thpyramid#Egyptology#Egypt
