The Egyptian pyramids, primarily built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods, are monumental tombs constructed for pharaohs and their consorts. The most famous, the Great Pyramid of Giza, exemplifies advanced engineering techniques and reflects significant achievements in mathematics and astronomy. These pyramids served as elaborate burial sites designed to ensure the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife, featuring intricate passageways, burial chambers, and treasures meant to accompany them. The construction methods remain partly mysterious, involving large labor forces and precise alignment with celestial bodies.

00:10because we are going to unveil those kings who have been buried for thousands of years.
00:15The pyramids, especially the Great Pyramid of Giza, are not just tombs,
00:19but are proofs of human intelligence and ambition.
00:23These huge structures, built 4,500 years ago, were made with astonishing precision.
00:29Every block of limestone was brought from afar.
00:33And some of these blocks weigh up to 80 tons.
00:36Just think, what a big logistical nightmare this must have been!
00:40But why did the people of ancient Egypt work so hard?
00:44In fact, the pyramids were considered the stairs to heaven for the pharaohs,
00:48which gave them a place among the gods.
00:52The cardinal points of the Great Pyramid and the sun setting with some stars are not a coincidence.
00:59This shows the deep understanding and deep connection with their religion.
01:04Inside these pyramids, the streets are full of paintings and art,
01:08which tell the stories of heaven.
01:11The people of Egypt believed in an infinite journey,
01:14and they decorated the tombs with all the things
01:17that a pharaoh could need in heaven,
01:20from chariots to food.
01:22How interesting!
01:24Now let's talk about those laborers who made these wonders.
01:28An old-fashioned theory suggests that these laborers were laborers
01:33who were given good food and shelter.
01:37Often, they lived in the villages of the nearby laborers.
01:41The pyramids have given birth to countless theories and mysteries.
01:45How did the people of ancient Egypt achieve such precision without modern tools?
01:51Some people think about the lost advanced technologies,
01:56while others believe that extraterrestrial help was involved.
02:00Although these theories are interesting,
02:02old-fashioned evidence points to an unorganized laborer
02:05and sophisticated engineering techniques.
02:09Even after thousands of years,
02:11the pyramids of Egypt continue to attract and fascinate people.
02:15These are just ancient statues.
02:17They are a symbol of intelligence,
02:19a symbol of human importance,
02:21and a reminder of those mysteries
02:23that are still buried under the sand.
02:26So, now you have seen the pyramids of Egypt.
02:29Remember,
02:31you will not only see the stones,
02:33but you will also see the human and the ancient.
