Ancient Egypt

Currently Playing: Great Pyramid Big Void & the Hidden Steps!

Pyramids of Egypt’s famous 4th Dynasty have a very specific structure. There was a multi-phase plan to build them, and after looking at the Meidum Pyramid, the Pyramid of Menkaure and the Queen’s Pyramids at Giza, we know that the first phase was the stepped inner core. The stepped core of a true pyramid is the most important phase of work because if the core was a success, the pyramid was basically a success. After completing the core, the builders then added the backing stones to turn it from the stepped pyramid to a true pyramid, and then the final stage was the casing, to give the pyramids their magnificent, fine finish. As I showed and explained in my last two videos (linked below), I believe there are four specific points within the pyramid that mark the edge of the core and I used these observations to try and create a rough idea of what the inner core of the pyramid looks like. In this video, I'm taking a look at the two newest Great Pyramid discoveries - the North Face Corridor and the Big Void, to see if they can tell us anything about the stepped internal core hiding inside the Great Pyramid.
