Pyramids! The Last Secret. 1/5

http://www.zigguraths.com/
BBC time watch - pyramids the last secret.

For centuries archaeologists have been trying to work out how the ancient Egyptians raised huge stone blocks to the top of the Great Pyramid. This documentary presents a radical new theory by French architect Jean-Pierre Houdin. He believes that an internal ramp was used, which is still inside the Pyramid waiting to be discovered. If he is right, it is the greatest discovery since Tutankhamun.

came across this interesting program. it puts a new theory forward on how the pyramids where constructed.

the video can been watched for free on the bbc iplayer website. i recomend watching it soon as they only leave content on the site for a few weeks before it is replaced

Would like to see more of this. We never got to the details of the Frenchman's theory. Can you post more? Can see why it appeals to mainstream Egyptology as it still involves a ramp (an internal one) so it's hardly 'radical'. The cloak and dagger stuff at the beginning is a joke, like the two guys met in secrecy at the Egyptologists apartment. The mainstream will love the Frenchman's idea because it shows the Egyptians using man power, hauling huge blocks. But where are parts 2 - 5?

i got a question... when i was a child someone told me that sand was made by waves of water hitting rocks, so if that is true how come the desert has sand?

@curtanee - Deforestation and erosion. Also time erases all tracks! .. All!

fuck this! no offense, its an alright theory but sound waves is probably the only thing that makes good sense

For everyone wishing to watch the other parts:

you can watch the other 4 parts on disclose (dot) tv... just google it.

@Ziggurathss ... but part 1 is left?

that sucks bro.

3. They already met the New World. What I mean is that in central america Mayans had these structures too. So how could such a similar idea be shared from Egypt to Central America? I'm sorry but I just don't believe something like this could've been done by humans at that time no matter what explanation there is unless there is an ancient structure that proves it. They must've gotten that knowledge somewhere.

So if we believe ancient egyptians built these we'd have to accept these facts: 1. They were smarter than us, given the fact that no modern construction has equalled perfection 2. They were REALLY strong. Even with a thousand men it'd still be hard to move the rocks without even mentioning the fact that they were placed perfectly every three minutes.

This documentary starts well. Nice graphics. Describing the Great Pyramid simply as the 'burial place of Khufu' sets off alarm bells. The presenter's concept of the Great Pyramid seems weighed down by a bit too much Egyptology.

When you want a cavity filled you don't go to a financial adviser. So why listen to an Egyptologist on the construction of great monuments? It is simply outside the scope of their discipline. They are trained in archaeology and epigraphy. For insights on great engineering achievements you might just as well ask your dentist.

I guess maybe you could ask an architect – surely better than an Egyptologist. But wouldn’t it be better just to ask an engineer? The architect can say ‘put that block there’ but an engineer has to actually figure out HOW to put it there. He’s your man. I’d like to see a BBC documentary with engineer Chris Dunn on the pyramids. He’s written a couple of interesting books. His second book is especially interesting. No BBC program for him though.
