This is the video that solves the mystery. The Great Pyramid has always stood out as the structure that nobody could surpass, and everyone after wanted to copy. But was it size alone that made it special, or did it come with a more profound change in ancient Egypt? This video looks at the evolution of dynastic Egyptian burials - scrutinizes the design of their defenses, and shows how the Great Pyramid achieved a dream more impressive than anyone has imagined. Now the real questions begin, and the wisdom of ancient Egypt will no longer be taken for granted. -------------------- Join this channel to get access to livestreams: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDWboBDVnIsGdYSK3KUO0hQ/join -------------------- Thanks to the Isida Project for many photos within the Great Pyramid: https://isida-project.ucoz.com/ Thanks to Keith Hamilton and Jon Bodsworth for a Great Pyramid portcullis photo Quotation Sources: Dieter Arnold “Building in Egypt” Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, 1991 Pp. 223 W.
