A robot has sent back the first images of markings on the wall of a tiny chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt that have not been seen for 4500 years. The pyramid is thought to have been built as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu -- the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing -- contains three main chambers: the Queen's Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King's Chamber, which has two air shafts connecting it with the outside world. There are also two tunnels, about 20 centimetres by 20 centimetres, that extend from the north and south walls of the Queen's Chamber and stop at stone doors before they reach the outside of the pyramid. The function of these tunnels and doors is unknown, but some believe that one or both could lead to a secret chamber. Zahi Hawass, Egypt's Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs, describes the doors as the last great mystery of the pyramid. In 1993, a robot crawled some 63 metres up the tunnel in the south wall and discovered what appeared to be a small stone door set with metal pins. Metal is not part of any other known structure in the pyramid, and the discovery ignited speculation that the pins were door handles. TO CONTINUE READING CLICK ON ABOVE LINK

I think it's kind of cool that thousands of years after the pyramids were built we are still making new discoveries about them. I doubt that the hieroglyphs in the tunnel is graffiti from some gang like the article suggests, unless the gang was sealed up inside the tunnel with some paint and they wrote "We want out!" on the walls. I wonder what else is hidden inside that thing?

One word,"NO"!!! Been there several times and I find it insulting to think the ancient Egyptian civilizations did not have the abilities, mental, physical, or simple desire.

Pardo me repeating myself, but the Egyptians built it, all 3 to be exact, with no help, I believe, from aliens, time travelers, or cartoon characters.

I guess we'll just have to wait for the answer on that one...personal guess is that slaves built the pyramids and that their lives were not particularly wonderful doing it and that the blood of many of them rests within those pyramids. I think they are as much a monument to pain and suffering as for the luxury of the pharaohs.

Definitely slaves did the hard work. When I was in geology grad school there were a few jokes that were predictable. One, when asked what the formation was (and not having a clue) one began with "once there was a shallow sea." This of course was true but hardly relevant - most areas of the world had shallow seas over them at one time or another. The second was "How were the pyramids made - slaves built them." Slaves might have built them physically but who master-minded it and how did the rocks get quarried such that the blocks fit together perfectly but asymmetrically (particularly true in Mayan and Inca rockwork). While we're at it - Stonehenge - massive blocks that even the most optimistic archeologists cannot say HOW they got them from the quarry to the location.

They may have been skills that were 'forgotten' over time..not necessarily help from alien ambassadors (unless they were fairly evil and liked leaving the hard work up to slave toil). I'm not saying there weren't 'visitors' back then..just that it's so much speculation and at least one man here in the states knew how. I have seen science shows on how the stones were quarried and put into place..but they too are speculation. I'd be more willing to believe the pyramids are the ego trip of the pharaohs to ensure 'immortality' at the expense of their subjects...and that with such ego's, methods were found to make their wishes happen or be subject to royal displeasure (death). I think..not every mystery has it's answer in aliens. The man who built the coral castle..was lifting stone tons heavy over his head and quarrying it himself..by himself and he claimed to know the secret of how the pyramids were built..it was easy once you knew the secret, said Ed Leedskalnin. coralcastle.com/

You are right (IMO) that all mysteries should not be assigned to aliens. We have had cycles of civilization and their science and technology was often lost. Another saying from my grad years - if it has hooves and eats grass don't assume its a zebra - try horse first.

It's fascinating stuff, Jo and paulette. We find hints in the archeological record of building on what came before, like the pyramids built over older pyramids in Central America. It lends weight to the idea that our "elders" learned a great deal. The most sophisticated technology is not, by definition, the most gadget-like or complicated in fabrication. It could be simple, elemental, and based upon a profound understanding of the universe. "High" technology in fact might be the most simple and basic of understandings. You don't need a massive crane to move immense slabs of stone. There might exist a far more practical and elegant way to do it, a way that is lost to us in this present day and age.

www.ufo-blogger.com/2011/03/egyptian-archaeologist-admits-pyramids.html Egyptian Archaeologist Admits Pyramids May Contain Alien Technology[/color] UFO Aliens may have helped build Pyramids of Giza says, Cairo university archeologist Head of the Cairo University Archaeology Department, Dr Ala Shaheen in December 2010 had told an audience that there might be truth to the theory that aliens helped the ancient Egyptians build the oldest of pyramids, the Pyramids of Giza. On being further questioned by Mr Marek Novak, a delegate from Poland as to whether the pyramid might still contain alien technology or even a UFO with its structure, Dr Shaheen, was vague and replied “I can not confirm or deny this, but there is something inside the pyramid that is “not of this world”. Delegates to the conference on ancient Egyptian architecture were left shocked, however Dr Shaheen had refused to comment further or elaborate on his UFO and alien related statements. Down below is 90's The Secret KGB UFO Files documentary, that's deals with the fact that Russian had already discovered the tomb of Alien Humanoid in Egypt and something is beneath the pyramid. The Secret KGB UFO Files documentary interestingly supporting the head of the Cairo University Archaeology Department, Dr Ala Shaheen claim as well. Actually ancient Egyptian writings very often talk of beings from the sky, the sky opening and bright lights coming down to teach them technology and give them wisdom. Many pictures and symbols resemble UFOs and aliens. POSSIBLY aliens built the Great Pyramid. And these solid long lasting construction techniques were adopted by the Egyptians. Ancient Egyptian legends tell of Tep Zepi, or the “first time”. This is described as an age when “sky gods” came down to Earth and raised the land from mud and water.

Could Mayan history about to be re-written? 1000's more pyramids to be discovered?
The plot thickens, and just in time for the hype to build up in preparation for the most talked about date in history, 21st Dec 2012

People can build some really cool things when they want too. Pyramids would not have been too hard. It just took lots of people to make them because they are so big.

How many pyramids are there? I thought there was only three but Skywalker told me there were a bunch of them. I forgot how many he said but it was like a hundred or something. How many did you say there was sky?

Nobody knows for sure how many there are total because they are still finding new ones. I've heard estimates anywhere from 110 to 160 spread all over the country. Here is an article on some new ones that were recently discovered with infrared satellites. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-13522957

Assuming the Great Pyramid was consructed ONLY by the people of Egypt, no not slaves, but willing workers building something to honor the "god-king' who ruled over them. Wonder where they got the notion for somehing as massive yet, there are places on it, a razor won't fit in between two stones. Does the word "laser" come to mind? "Aliens didn't build it, I believe but it is just so darn weird, to have climbe to the top and viewed the whlolle area without admiring their work or ponder who might have helped?

Breath taking for sure. Been a long time since I have seen shots like these. My husband went to the foot of these mighty sky scrapers when he was in the Navy. He said it was so unreal.. How they could of been built. I will ask him more about that in the morning. It was so long ago.. ;D I know he rode a camel and he hated it.

www.ancient-code.com/extraordinary-documentary-tells-us-how-ancient-aliens-helped-build-the-pyramids-of-egypt/ Extraordinary Documentary tells us how Ancient Aliens helped build the Pyramids of EgyptOctober 15, 2015 If there are two things that people are fascinated about than those two are probably Ancient Egypt and… Aliens. The intriguing and enigmatic history of ancient Egypt has so many questions that scholars simply cannot answers, possibly because of their conventional thinking methods or because in the end, they prefer to leave the truth where it is… hidden from sight. One of the most searched for answers when it comes to Ancient Egypt is who built the Pyramids of Egypt and how were these megalithic structures built… thousands of years ago? What if, as the Ancient Alien Theory suggests, beings not from Earth had something to do with the construction of the Pyramids at the Giza Plateau? The Great Pyramid of Giza is perhaps the most enigmatic of the three. The Great Pyramid is the most accurately aligned structure in existence and faces true north with only 3/60th of a degree of error. The position of the North Pole moves over time and the pyramid was exactly aligned at one time. The centers of the four sides are indented with an extraordinary degree of precision forming the only 8 sided pyramid, this effect is not visible from the ground or from a distance but only from the air, and then only under the proper lighting conditions. This phenomenon is only detectable from the air at dawn and sunset on the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the sun casts shadows on the pyramid. Who do you think are the real builders of the Pyramids? And why has mankind adopted the custom of building Pyramid all over the world? The great pyramid is the oldest and largest, rising at 481 feet (146 meters). Archaeologists say it was the tallest structure in the world for about 3, 800 years. The curvature designed into the faces of the pyramid exactly matches the radius of the earth. Just how did ancient Egyptians manage to build these incredible structures thousands of years ago… and better yet… did the ancient Egyptians even build the pyramids at the Giza Plateau? What is the true purpose of the great pyramid of Giza? A Pyramid that illustrates the Sun’s radius: Twice the perimeter of the bottom of the granite coffer times 10^8 is the sun’s mean radius. [270.45378502 Pyramid Inches* 10^8 = 427,316 miles] and a structures that speaks about the Earth’s mass: The weight of the pyramid is estimated at 5,955,000 tons. Multiplied by 10^8 gives a reasonable estimate of the earth’s mass. The following documentary is intended to give the reader/viewer an alternative perspective about the Great Pyramid and its true origin. The documentary is provokingly interesting and offers an alternative to mainstream explanations about the history of ancient Egypt, its kings and those who built some of the most incredible structures on the surface of our planet. Let us know what you think about the construction of the pyramids, the methods used and the general purpose of these megalithic structures that stand tall and proud at the Giza plateau. Published on Jul 15, 2015 UFO Aliens 2015 : The Ancient Cosmic War 2015 NEW Ancient Aliens. "Perhaps the most famous and most mysterious megalithic structure in the world is the Great Pyramid of Giza The enormous size and weight of the stones multiplied by the sheer number of them makes one thing is certain: the construction the Great Pyramid is one of the greatest wonders and mystery of architectural engineering "The Pyramids of Giza are marvels of technology and. there are many theories, from the mundane to fantastic, surrounding its construction. "There are all kinds of theories about how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built -. So many theories that you just sit back and shake my head That includes ET visitations, hover the blocks with some sort of sound system." A place we can learn a lot about Egyptian Steinmetz methods, is of the so-called unfinished obelisk. Here we have a 1000-ton obelisk made of granite, because a crack which developed halfway through the project abandoned. This stone, because it is unfinished, gives us a direct insight into how they cut and shaped granite and other stones. On the sides we can see how these stones separated from the quarry. A team of workers would each installation page and pound their sections with a diorite pounding stone. Such pounded stones can be found anywhere in this quarry and others in Egypt. The throbbing just broke millimeters of granite at a time, but eventually this troth-like portions would occur in every worker station. After that they would do the same thing on the floor of the block, until it supported only by a thin spine in the middle. Then she would be snapped off by levers. The people who Moai statues on Easter Island created using very similar methods for extraction of rock, like many other groups around the world - as we shall see. After the stones were roughly shaped by pounding stones, they would begin to polish them with mills. There are many types of stone grinders or polishers, found in ancient Egypt. Usually had a handle and a flat surface, which they use to rub against the stone, with sand as an abrasive. They were, well ... grinding the stone. The various mineral particles found in the sand, are hard enough to polish hard stone such as granite, but also to do what Ancient Aliens tried to make people think, in fact, is completely impossible - that is, to cut granite. www.ancient-code.com/extraordinary-documentary-tells-us-how-ancient-aliens-helped-build-the-pyramids-of-egypt/
