Egyptian Pyramids Were Built with Ramps, Not by Aliens
*It was the aliens!* Or was it? Egyptologist Professor Laurel Bestock rejoins WIRED to break down five discoveries that tell us exactly how the Egyptian pyramids were built; from the Giza quarry to The Diary of Merer, Laurel paints a vivid picture of just how the ancient pyramids were built from the ground up. #Egypt…

We Know More About Time Than You Think
Sir Isaac Newton claimed time flows universally. Albert Einstein said that time is relative to the observer. Theoretical physicist Professor Brian Greene rejoins WIRED to break down the emerging theories that tell us everything we know about time; from the impact of speed (special relativity) and gravity (general relativity) on time dilation to the role…

the person in the video has an extremely hostile and abrupt demeanor.

Extremely hostile? I don’t think I’d say that.
@uknoono7603

Some very suspicious behaviors on YouTube, no doubt.

Are you a bot or something? That comment is pretty vague and can be used on a variety of videos.

@HarietDubmanthis video doesn’t even deserve to be watched so building an argument about how superficial it is seems pointless, so my intention was to make fun of it, not debate it. are you dumb too ?

So much literary ignorance in your comment.
She’s not saying “this is how they did it”, she’s clearly saying “based on what evidence we have, this is the most likely explanation” which mean two completely different things.
Learn to understand what is being said to you before you go around accusing others of coping

Would it have been possible for them to use an animal-based lubricant of some like, like lard to grease the tracks?
@sfowler1017
August 8, 2026 at 10:37 am
1) That’s a lot of valuable, labor intensive to obtain animal fat.
2) The humans pulling would slip on it; they need all the traction they can get.

Kinda tired of the implication slave workers were not used during the building of the pyramids. Every instance of mankind had free and cheap labor but during this period they just conveniently decided not to use it? I am not buying it

The blocks were levitated . Duh
@Splay249
August 8, 2026 at 11:01 am
I heard they made a huge cube and just took off bricks and made more pyramids with the left overs until there was nothing left to build with
@Bjorn-Lucent
August 8, 2026 at 11:53 am
So the Coral museum was built with ramps by one guy. Where did Egyptians get all the wood for these ramps and rollers? They’re intentionally hiding the acoustic levatators. Either they’re taught to lie or taught to be ignorant.
@teppens71
August 8, 2026 at 12:07 pm
Wouldn’t surprise me if they made a ramp going around it then filled the ramp in as they came back down essentially turning it into the outside layer of the pyramid
@GamingWithUncleJ
August 8, 2026 at 4:11 pm
I think theyve done scans revealing this very fact
@teppens71
August 8, 2026 at 5:34 pm
@GamingWithUncleJit just made the most sense to me but if you think about it building a ramp that can withstand the weight of the blocks is impressive in and of itself
@brandonselby9738
August 8, 2026 at 12:33 pm
The way the pyramids were built is so interesting because almost no Egyptian bothered to write down how it was done. Everyone just knew. Until everyone with that knowledge died…
@elkfeld
August 8, 2026 at 12:36 pm
I’ve been to Giza and Masada. There’s no sign of massive ramps at Giza for any of the pyramids there which each built over millennia. At Masada you can still see remnants of the massive ramp the Romans built to haul their siege machines up.
@36_SaneKicks
August 8, 2026 at 12:44 pm
Right… They took them down at Giza when they were done… Giza was the ultimate project of the time in Egypt and no expense was spared to do it as well as possible and to take their time to complete it. There’s evidence of ramps at many other Egyptian sites because those were projects that were often left incomplete. That’s how we know that they used ramps for large projects like this.
@elkfeld
August 8, 2026 at 2:33 pm
@36_SaneKicks
As the video says there’s no evidence of ramps at Giza. The Great Pyramid is gargantuan. There’d still be evidence of soil disruption.

Why did they made the bricks so big and difficult to move if they knew what they were using them for?
@Billybobble1
August 8, 2026 at 1:01 pm
Yeah I don’t buy that guys just dragged it up a ramp, they were way cleverer than that, and we are still too stupid to realise how they did it. I do remember one guy displaying an impressive system to shift the blocks with minimal human effort, but it didn’t really help understanding how they got them to the top. Just admit it historians, we DON’T KNOW! It’s okay, it’s much worse to say something with confidence when the story is so full of holes.

Counterweight is easier then brute force pulling. A sled of sandbags pulls down one side, while a sled with a block or rubble is lifted up the other. Think bucket brigade but with sand bags. Multiples of lift systems could operate at the same time.
