Clues Reveal How The Great Pyramid Was Built
The pyramids are arguably the greatest structures ever built by human hands, thousands of years old, and still standing mightily above the Giza Plateau; yet to this day, with all the research that’s gone into them, there is no consensus as to how they were built.

But maybe one of the reasons we don’t get close enough to finding out, is because some of the details we’re told are actually incorrect.
Pyramid experts and enthusiasts tell us the Great Pyramid is made up of 2.3 million large blocks of stone, the vast majority being limestone, but some granite, and that these blocks were all accurately cut and fitted together to build this incredible monument.
But what if the pyramid actually does not contain 2.3 million blocks of cut and dressed stone, precisely fitted together? What if a large proportion of the pyramid is rubble?
There are so many Great Pyramid construction theories there and in this video I'm taking a look at the materials used, which should always be the starting point.
I look at the mastaba of the pyramid architect, Hemiunu, the work of Jean-Pierre Houdin and also nightscarab5802.
To try and understand how the pyramids were built, we need to start with the materials and then we can start unlocking the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
