Just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Over the past centuries, archaeologists, historians, and engineers have reconstructed a great deal of the technology and science used to build the Egyptian pyramids. This week we look at ancient Egyptian mathematics, building techniques, tools, and culture to reconstruct the Great Pyramid’s construction.

EGYPT: EXPLORING the scenic BAZAAR of KHAN AL-KHALILI in ISLAMIC CAIRO
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go visit Khan Al-Khalili. It is located in the heart of Islamic Cairo, this busy and colorful open-air bazaar (sour or market) is filled with unique and exotic items from spices and perfumes to jewelry and souvenirs.
Cairo, Egypt’s sprawling capital, is set on the Nile River. At its heart is Tahrir Square and the vast Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities including royal mummies and gilded King Tutankhamun artifacts. Nearby, Giza is the site of the iconic pyramids and Great Sphinx, dating to the 26th century BC. In Gezira Island’s leafy Zamalek district, 187m Cairo Tower affords panoramic city views.
Egypt, a country linking northeast Africa with the Middle East, dates to the time of the pharaohs. Millennia-old monuments sit along the fertile Nile River Valley, including Giza's colossal Pyramids and Great Sphinx as well as Luxor's hieroglyph-lined Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings tombs. The capital, Cairo, is home to Ottoman landmarks like Muhammad Ali Mosque and the Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities.

WOW! Man Discovers Tunnel to Egypt's Great Pyramid Under His House!
An Egyptian citizen, identified as Nagy by Arabic news site Ahram.org, was illegally digging in his backyard when he found a tunnel leading to the Pyramid of Khufu. The pyramid, nicknamed the Great Pyramid, is the oldest and largest of the three Giza Pyramids.
Nagy, a resident of the El Haraneya village, near the Giza Plateau, dug 33 feet beneath his house before he found the corridor, made from stone blocks. Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities sent archaeologists to the scene, and a committee confirmed the passage to be the pyramid's legendary causeway.
Archaeologists have searched for decades for the passage to the pyramid. The causeway is mentioned in the Histories by the Greek Herodotus, who claims to have visited it in the fifth century B.C.E. Herodotus wrote that the passage was enclosed and covered in reliefs, but before Nagy's excavation, only small remnants of the causeway had been found.
The Khufu pyramid complex is known to have connected to an undiscovered temple near the Nile River. Thanks to the new discovery, archaeologists believe the temple may be buried beneath the village of Nazlet el-Samman.

The Pyramid
A team of archaeologists unearths an ancient pyramid buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert. As they search the pyramid's depths, they become hopelessly lost in its dark and endless catacombs. Searching for a way out, they become desperate to seek daylight again. They come to realize they aren't just trapped, they are being hunted.

Nikola Tesla did countless mysterious experiments, but he was a whole other mystery on his own. Almost all genius minds have a certain obsession. Nikola Tesla had a pretty big one!
He was walking around a block repeatedly for three times before entering a building, he would clean his plates with 18 napkins, he lived in hotel rooms only with a number divisible by 3. He would make calculations about things in his immediate environment to make sure the result is divisible by 3 and base his choices upon the results. He would do everything in sets of 3.
Some say he had OCD, some say he was very superstitious.
However, the truth is a lot deeper.
“If you knew the magnificence of the three, six and nine, you would have a key to the universe.” – Nikola Tesla

Visiting the Egyptian Pyramids | Travel Egypt | RoamerRealm
This video is about Visiting the Egyptian Pyramids | Travel Egypt | RoamerRealm
Hello Guys! How is it going? Today's video is about visiting the oldest Wonder of the Ancient World - The Giza Pyramids! Not only are we going to visit there, but we're also going make it a li'l more exiting by doing it in under $10. We'll try! Let's go!
Alright, so the day started at the Hotel lobby:
There were private tours available from the hotel but they cost upward of USD 150 and there was no way I was going to pay that, so, I decided to step out and figure it out as I go!
The city life outside had already started and I was greeted with a lot of traffic. Well, since I am from India, this wasn't something that surprised me! :D But what did surprise me, was this:
Now I don't mind the odd adventure, but having no idea about how much the transport might cost and also the fact that I didn't wanna risk getting stuck in a traffic jam, I decided to walk a few mins to a nearby Metro station -- which, by the way, is marked in red by the big M.
While on the train I was very fortunate to get some great local travel advise from Zuair_ (a Uni Student from Cairo). We did have a small chat and here is what he had to say for you guys:
The train was comfortable, air conditioned and fast. Before I knew it, I was already there:
The white cars are actually mini buses and to be honest, no one really bothered me while I passed them. A 2 min walk from the station was the main road, now all I had to do was cross over to the other side and head in the direction of the Pyramids. I decided to take one of these mini buses. The pyramids were around 4 kms away at this point of time..I was feeling all pumped and then this happened:
So, it was a straight road from the station that leads to the pyramids and cuz they're so huge, you can see them right from the streets. Right in this moment when I was in the middle of traffic, I wondered how it must be for the locals living around the Pyramid complex..I mean, they had this view EVERYDAY while they went about their daily chores! A few mins walk from this point and I was at the Pyramid complex entrance ticket office.
I cannot explain the feeling I had once I was inside the complex...all these years, looking at pictures and reading stories from the pyramids and today, I was here, Finally! In fact, I even ended up putting some words together!
The way to the Sphinx leads via a small temple. It was interesting to know that the huge stones are just kept on top of each other without any adhesive material in between them.
The Sphinx (like the pyramids) is a favorite photo point of many tourists. I was stunned to know that the entire body was made from 1 single stone!
Distance from the Sphinx to the Pyramids takes 10 mins on foot and it's perfectly walkable. The closer I got to the pyramid, the more massive it appeared!
I have to admit, from a distance Pyramids look like many small bricks stacked together, but while I was at the base, I was stunned to see the size of the stones! Some of them were almost 2 meters in height and it was so steep and huge that I couldn't even see the top while at the base.
The more I walked around, the more dwarfed I felt by the sheer size of the Pyramids! It was just amazing!
My visit to Egypt was extremely spontaneous, so much that I didn't know that I was going to be there till maybe 48 hrs before the trip. Overall, I am glad that I could do this on a budget and without falling for any of those many tourist scams. Speaking of budget, the metro ride each side was LE 5, the mini bus each way was LE 3, entrance ticket to the Pyramid complex was LE 120. I also had to buy an additional ticket of LE20 for the camera and tripod. So, that's approx LE 160 which equates to less than $10. Having said that, I didn't have a guide, I explored the complex on foot and I was using public transport, well, for me it was fine and it wasn't uncomfortable at all. Next, I will be making a short video about travel hacks and some of the tourist scams which I learned of during my visit.
Alright Guys, so that was the video. Give me some feedback - Thumbs up thumbs down or a comment depending on what you thought about the video or any question that you have about the trip/visit. If you haven't already, then plz consider subscribing cuz that would motivate me a lot. I'll see you in the next one!

Alcyon Pleiades 74: The Great Pyramid, Sphinx, Obelisks, Star-gate technology, Toroidal energy
There is no doubt that the narrative fed to us by modern Egyptology in no way coincides with the wonders achieved by the mysterious Egyptian culture… What is the origin of their extraordinary technology which continues to be completely unknown to us today? Huge pyramids and monuments built with striking mathematical exactitude have survived until our times, bearing witness to the advanced technology used to cut and transport millions of stone blocks… Why has mainstream science sought to cover up the reality that these structures obviously could not have been built by the hand of man during that era, as we have been led to believe?
What about the Great Pyramid, comprised of more than two million three hundred thousand huge blocks weighing between 2 and 70 tons each? Was it built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops or was its purpose to channel solar, stellar and cosmic energy…?
And what can be said about the impressive Sphinx surrounded by an aura of ancestral mystery and depicted as the silent guardian that protects the pyramids? Why has the circular opening in its head and its underground tunnels leading to the Great Pyramid been virtually overlooked?
Did this culture have highly-advanced cosmic and stellar technology with extra-terrestrial origins that they used to achieve perfect measurements that were founded upon astronomy and mathematics? Is it possible that they were familiar with the electric light, as depicted in numerous images? What about their huge obelisks? Could they have been built by the hand of man, considering the enormous weight of each one?
According to many researchers, ancient Egypt is not what it was once thought to be, rather, it is an amazing reflection of the Heavens…

Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world after water –– and from sugary Turkish Rize tea to salty Tibetan butter tea, there are almost as many ways of preparing the beverage as there are cultures on the globe. Where did this beverage originate, and how did it become so popular? Shunan Teng details tea’s long history.
