00:00EGYPT
00:27Along the western bank of the mighty Nile River, a sprawling pyramid field dots the sacred sand.
00:34Throughout history, this region has been known as the Memphite Necropolis.
00:41Named after the ancient capital of Egypt, Memphis, this necropolis, which translates from ancient Greek as cemetery or city of the dead,
00:51is home to the most sophisticated and highly debated ancient civilizations known to man.
00:58The grandiosity, power and purpose of these pyramids have baffled all who have studied them.
01:05But the mainstream argument for pyramids as being strictly burial tombs is sharply challenged.
01:12What other evidence does this sacred sand conceal that could alter the mainstream timeline for the rise of human civilizations?
01:24The area that is called the Pyramid Fields is a mysterious area that stretches all the way from Giza, just outside of Cairo, all the way down to Dashur.
01:37This entire area has pyramids that remain in different states of preservation.
01:43Some of them, when you look at them, look like a mound of earth because they are so deteriorated.
01:48And some of them, such as the ones on Giza, are very clearly beautiful pyramids.
01:53There are a number of different pyramid fields in Egypt.
01:58You have Giza, then a series of other ones, including Abusir, Saqqara, and ending with Dashur.
02:09So you have to ask yourself, why are they all on the West Bank? Why are they not on the East Bank?
02:15Well, this is because the ancient Egyptians believed that the West was the direction of the dead and the afterlife.
02:26And the East was the direction, because of the rising sun, of life and rebirth.
02:35And this whole dualism of the West representing death, the East representing life, was an integral part of everything the ancient Egyptians did.
02:48Memphis was one of the major capital cities of ancient Egypt.
02:54And there's this huge network in Memphis of the necropolis, you know, these tunnels and, and crypts and this, you know, very complex structure of building for both, I would say, for rites of initiation,
03:12immersion into the underworld, as well as for the burial of the dead.
03:17Where the, you know, the kings and the pharaohs, you know, started to erect their tombs, their temples, their pyramids.
03:27So there's quite the, the network of underworld initiation and burial that is associated with the Memphis necropolis.
03:38Roughly eight kilometers or five miles northwest of the Giza Plateau sits an anomalous archeological site named Abu Rawash.
03:50This lesser known location, often referred to as being the home to the pharaoh Jed Efrae's lost pyramid, contains the remains of two pyramid bases and looks down on the Giza Plateau from roughly 300 feet higher above sea level.
04:07The ancient history of Abu Rawash appears to be very turbulent, and contains many more questions than answers.
04:17Everybody is aware of Giza.
04:21This is where you have the three great pyramids there of Khufu, his son, Khafre, and his son, Menkara.
04:31There's a whole family group here.
04:34But there is a missing link with all of this, and that is Abu Rawash.
04:42And when you get there, you know, you climb a hill, and all you see in front of you to start with is a massive debris field.
04:53It's like some kind of cataclysm has struck this pyramid and virtually destroyed it almost down to the ground.
05:03And you walk amongst these huge blocks of stone, weighing tons apiece, and eventually in the center of it, there's this massive pit with this causeway going down into it, which is gigantic.
05:22And you look around and you wonder what the hell has gone on here in the past.
05:28I mean, who was Jedfra? Why did he build here? And why was his pyramid destroyed?
05:35Here is a guy, Jedfra, who's the second son of King Khufu, who allegedly built the Great Pyramid.
05:46His older brother dies, and now Jedfra has an opportunity to leave a monument for eternity.
05:53He would look out at what we think of as the Giza Plateau today and see one pyramid, that belonging to his father.
05:59And you would think he would want to build right next to his father. He'd want to be close to him for eternity.
06:05But he doesn't do that. He goes five miles northwest. He goes to a high ground.
06:11He stands on this high ground, what is today called Abu Ruash, and he looks north into the delta.
06:17You can see all the way to the Mediterranean. He looks across the Nile River and he sees Heliopolis, the city of the sun.
06:23He says, I'm going to be the first Pharaoh that's going to take the name son of Ra, son of the sun.
06:29And I'm going to build my pyramid here. And it's called Jedfra Starry Sky.
06:34And it's a magnificent building, according to descriptions.
06:37It's made of granite, but it's got a skin on it that's made of an alloy of gold, silver and copper that shimmered in the sun.
06:45It had to have just been absolutely magnificent.
06:48But what's fascinating about his story is that he completely abandons the magnificence of what we see today in the pyramid of Khufu.
06:57When he builds his pyramid, he doesn't build the chambers on the inside like his father did.
07:03He builds them underground.
07:04He doesn't build his pyramid from scratch.
07:07He builds it on top of a pile of rubble.
07:10And as time will tell, his pyramid disintegrates, either of its own volition or it's destroyed, possibly by some external force or simply by people coming and harvesting its stones to build other complexes.
07:26Today, we're left with the mystery and these questions of why didn't he build on the Giza Plateau like his younger brother did?
07:33Why did he go off to this mysterious place?
07:37What was it that prompted him to go there?
07:40One of the unusual features of Abu Rawash is the fact that when you go to the site itself, it's rarely visited.
07:48It's a private access kind of job.
07:50You can't just turn up there.
07:52It looks like the stones are scattered around the whole area.
07:56This is one thing that a lot of people notice.
07:58There's granite everywhere.
08:00There's chunks of limestone.
08:02Some of it is beautifully polished and curved in places.
08:06And it does look like there's some kind of cataclysm has hit the site.
08:10We see similar things though on the Giza Plateau as well.
08:13So people are suggesting that there's some kind of technology there that may have went wrong and actually caused this kind of destruction.
08:21One of the most mysterious sites that we're finding is Abu Rawash.
08:25It is a site that we don't know a lot about because the truth is we don't know who built it.
08:33We don't know when it was damaged and when it was destroyed.
08:38What makes it so unique is that it is a pyramid that's open to the sky.
08:43What was perhaps even more interesting is not far from this pyramid is a mysterious staircase.
08:49You can only see this staircase when you're on top of it.
08:54Because it is carved into the flat limestone plateau.
09:00And looking across you would never see this staircase.
09:03It begins at ground level and it goes gradually about a 45 degree angle down 100 feet.
09:09And today it now goes into the water.
09:13Because when the high dam was built in Egypt it backed up the Nile in the groundwater.
09:19The groundwater has risen and has actually flooded many of the temples throughout Egypt.
09:25So the question is what does this staircase lead to?
09:28Who would go through the trouble to build this beautiful staircase that appears to go nowhere or at least into the water at this time?
09:37This is a staircase built into a complex that's 22 miles long over 4,000 square acres.
09:46And this staircase the speculation is that it is an opening.
09:52It is an entrance that goes into the tunnels into the chambers that are underneath this plateau.
09:59Just as we have staircases and tunnels that go underneath Giza.
10:04Ground penetrating radar is showing that very clearly.
10:07So who knows what we're going to find.
10:10I think the pyramid and the staircase together are probably working to tell us a story.
10:18If we can look at this as a connected system rather than as isolated events in our ancient past.
10:28Abu Ruwash is weird.
10:30And I'll say that because we know so far that the Nile being what it is, a mirror of the Milky Way.
10:38And several of the pyramids are actually mirror images of specific stars and constellations on the Nile.
10:43Well, you have the Giza pyramids, which at this specific moment in time, according to Beauval and Gilbert, mirror the constellation of Orion, 10,400 BC on the equinox.
10:54Well, if you're standing there at that particular moment and look over this way and you look at the night sky, you'll see that Sirius is also sitting right next to it.
11:02And it falls right over Yunu or Heliopolis, as it's called today, which is the Academy.
11:08You go over this way and you start going down to the Red Pyramid and the Ben Pyramid.
11:13And they basically are mirror images of the Hades cluster in Taurus.
11:18So if you're going further south, you end up where the Pleiades are.
11:22So that leaves us with Abu Ruwash.
11:24It doesn't seem to match anything.
11:26So now we have a conundrum.
11:27If all the pyramids were laid out according to a mirror map of the sky at the time, what is Abu Ruwash doing there?
11:34Have we forgotten something? Is there another element in the sky that we are familiar with?
11:39As the debate around the date of construction of this mysterious site continues,
11:44the evidence that this site was connected to the Memphite Necropolis is mounting.
11:49But the question remains, was this potential pyramid destroyed or dismantled?
11:56Let's go with the first argument.
11:58The pyramids were built in one go, so it was part of a unified plan.
12:02So that means that Abu Ruwash also would have had to have been built.
12:06And it has since been destroyed.
12:08And we know that it's true.
12:09So that's option one.
12:10It was a pyramid.
12:11And then it's been systematically taken down to build the towns around it.
12:16The second option, which I tend to go with a little bit more.
12:20It's to do with the fact that the pyramids weren't built in their entirety earlier on.
12:24That there was a blueprint laid down.
12:26And Abu Ruwash was part of that blueprint.
12:28And it was stopped for some reason.
12:30We just don't know why.
12:32Because there is a comparative one at Zayed Al-Aryad,
12:35which is just probably about also eight miles further south of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
12:39So you've got these two pyramids, which are non-pyramids or they're destroyed pyramids.
12:44And if you look at the way that Abu Ruwash was built with a huge sort of a slope down into the middle of the bedrock at a certain level of degree of about 26 degrees, I believe, fashions out into a T shape.
12:56It's exactly what we see at Zayed Al-Aryad.
12:59And we know that that also was interrupted by some enormous event because when the sand was dug out of the pit, we found all the stones that were ready to be built around that hole, which was deliberately shaped as part of the interior passages.
13:15The stones had been dumped into the actual hole as though they were put there by this enormous force, like a wall of water, which absolutely fits in the idea that all the pyramids were built at the same moment around the time of the flood.
13:27So I very much ascribed to that particular theory that Abu Ruwash was part of that plan. It was a real pyramid.
13:36The problems with Abu Ruwash is, one, is that we have this amazing technology that's going into Khufu's pyramid.
13:45Admittedly, it was probably not built by Khufu.
13:50It had been built at an earlier time and Khufu simply tried to do some sort of restoration on it and therefore his name is attached to it.
14:02But the fact that his successor couldn't even complete the pyramid that he tried to build suggests that the technology was lost somewhere.
14:16Indications are it was either taken apart or it was blown apart.
14:21So that means Jedefri, whose name literally means the power of the Jid, which represented the spinal column of Osiris.
14:31He probably did not build this pyramid. It was part of the bigger network that was being built in antiquity.
14:38If anything, he tried to restore it and wasn't able to restore it.
14:45As the relics from this perch above Giza continue to puzzle alternative researchers,
14:50a clue left to us from an Italian cartographer may spark a new debate on an unsolved ancient legend.
14:59I was in Florence and had the opportunity to visit the Galileo Museum.
15:05It's an amazing place. And one of the artifacts that was in there that caught my attention was a map titled the Fra Mauro map by a cartographer from the 15th century.
15:18He was Italian and he'd actually taken the painstaking effort to draw out every aspect of the known world at that time.
15:28So it's 1457.
15:30One of the first places I went to as I looked at this map is I looked straight for Egypt.
15:37So I looked for the Nile River, but I was unable to find the Nile River.
15:42It was under a different name listed as a river named Gion.
15:47I immediately thought, why would he have named the river Gion?
15:51Gion is a reference to the Bible in Genesis.
15:55The place where the four rivers meet is the Garden of Eden.
15:58And the four rivers are supposed to be the Tigris, Euphrates, the Gion River and the Pishon River.
16:05Why was the Gion listed as the Nile River?
16:08I also noticed that the Giza Plateau had five pyramids on it, not three.
16:14This and many other questions led me to investigate this.
16:18And what I found has the potential to dramatically shift how we perceive and see all the sites of Egypt versus the Mesopotamian sites.
16:29And in particular, it pointed directly to the word Babylonia, which I'd recognize because Babylon is the old name for Cairo.
16:42In fact, today it's even marked by the fortress of Babylon, which is not far to the northwest of Giza.
16:51As I look more deeply into this subject of Babylonia, I noticed that eight kilometers northwest of the Giza Plateau is a very enigmatic place that sits immediately to the west of what we would consider old Babylon.
17:08This is another pyramid complex that has two pyramids that have been partially destroyed, flattened, as it were.
17:17They sit high atop a plateau, both pyramids being made of the very expensive and difficult to quarry rose granite that comes all the way from Aswan, a full 800 kilometers away.
17:29That's a lot of effort to undertake.
17:32As we look around the Abu Rawash Plateau today, we'll find the strewn blocks, literally hundreds of meters, many of them 10 to 15 or even 20 tons in weight, that have been tossed hundreds of meters from the center point to where those blocks sit today.
17:50This is a really enigmatic place that requires a lot more study.
17:56And given its reference directly across along the Gion River, matching with Babylon, I couldn't help but ask myself the question, might there be more to this story yet to be unfolded?
18:10The Jed Afray satellite pyramid would have stood a 103.7 feet high.
18:17But because it sits 300 feet higher in elevation than the Giza Plateau, and because of its very steep architecture, it would have appeared to tower over the Giza Plateau.
18:27The Great Pyramid is 481 feet, but the Jed pyramid that is immediately behind the Jed Afray satellite would have stood about 600 feet high when compared with the same elevation with the Giza Plateau.
18:42This would have by far looked as though it would have been the tallest building in all of the land.
18:48It could have seen very likely for many, many tens of miles in distance from both the Giza Plateau as well as from Aubrey Rewash.
18:58What did these pyramids represent and their construction?
19:02Why was it made out of the most expensive rose quartz granite that is only found in the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber?
19:11Because of its expense, both of these pyramids had casing stones that were entirely rose granite.
19:17Crystalline pyramids.
19:20Crystalline pyramids.
19:21Both of these pyramids somehow exploded.
19:24How did those blocks get so far away, weighing 10, 20, even 30 tons?
19:30We only have more and more questions related to what the exact purpose was of this plateau high upon this hilltop.
19:40What was the meaning of these pyramids, and why do we have no reference to them throughout any of our history?
19:46Now this Aubrey Rewash pyramid, because it has an 86.4 foot base width, means that its height would have been 103.7 feet high.
19:56And then a 60 degree pyramid slope angle immediately adjacent to it, to the diagonal.
20:03And what you find there is that that pyramid, with a 60 degree angle, would have stood approximately 300 feet high from the plateau.
20:13With the plateau being 300 feet higher than the Giza Plateau.
20:16Referencing a pyramid that would have been approximately 600 feet high, with a super steep slope angle.
20:22It would have definitely left an imposing feeling on anybody looking at it from the Giza Plateau.
20:29And maybe the reference is something that's closer to heaven.
20:33The base of the Gedefre satellite pyramid, 86 feet .4.
20:38So 86.4 feet, which references 86,400 seconds in one day.
20:43Is this telling us something about the relationship of the arc of time?
20:50As I started to look at this and imagine standing on the Giza Plateau.
20:54So, if I looked up to look at these foreboding structures.
20:59Crystalline pyramids, high upon this hilltop, far off in the distance.
21:04Having a pink granite hue.
21:07I started to ask, might there be any reference historically to these pyramids?
21:14And I could only find one location.
21:17These extraordinarily tall structures might be a direct reference to the story of the Tower of Babel.
21:27I also noted that the relationship to Babylon, as well as the relationship as mentioned in the Bible, the Genesis account in chapter 10.
21:38Where we noticed that this structure of the Tower of Babel was supposed to have been built next to the Gihon River.
21:46Which also is where Babylon would have been found, or Babylonia.
21:51As we find on the Fraumaro map.
21:53I couldn't help but ask myself the question.
21:56Given the age and the large block construction.
21:59Might this location of Abu Rewash actually have been the place where Nimrod, the son of Cush.
22:07Would have built these two pyramid structures to represent the Tower of Babel.
22:13As we dive more deeply into the biblical account in Genesis chapter 10.
22:24We see that Nimrod, the builder of the Tower of Babel.
22:29Nimrod, which is where the languages were supposedly confounded.
22:34Was the son of a very famous person by the name of Cush.
22:38Who was the grandson of Noah.
22:41Noah of Noah's Ark.
22:43Nimrod was known as the great hunter.
22:46Notice also the reference to the great hunter of Orion.
22:50Nimrod, being the son of Cush.
22:55Would have come from where the Cushite people came.
22:58And in the Bible it actually references as well.
23:01That the river Gihon goes into and flows into the place of Cush.
23:06Because Gihon actually means gushing water.
23:09The word Gush or Cush is from this derivative.
23:14So therefore, as we look at the place where this river came from.
23:19In southern Egypt.
23:21We then must ask ourselves the question.
23:24Is it more likely that the Cushite people.
23:27That are referenced in the Bible.
23:29Were in the ancient land of Khem.
23:32And in fact, I could find no reference in contrast.
23:37To the people of Cush ever having visited Mesopotamia.
23:41So if we take the biblical account at face value.
23:44And also that Josephus.
23:47And the Nile River was known.
23:49Anciently as the Gihon River.
23:51We must consider.
23:53Abur-Rawash as a potential location.
23:56For the ancient Tower of Babel.
23:59The story of the Tower of Babel is very interesting.
24:02Especially concerning the origin of human languages.
24:05But let's explore this notion.
24:08That the Babylon we know of.
24:10Is a replica city.
24:12Of something that existed far earlier.
24:14A city that we now know as Cairo.
24:17And what if the Tower of Babel was there.
24:19And it was destroyed.
24:21How would that affect our understanding of human history?
24:25The ramifications of changing the original location.
24:29Of the city of Babylon.
24:31Are incomprehensible.
24:33It would rewrite history books.
24:35It would change.
24:37Mainstream understanding.
24:38Of human history.
24:40And it would change.
24:41What we know.
24:42About human language.
24:44Prior to the Younger Dryas.
24:47Incident.
24:48There seems to be the suggestion that there was a worldwide network going on.
24:54And that there were certain areas.
24:57Particularly like this area in Egypt.
25:00But also at Teotihuacan in Mexico.
25:03And Xi'an in China.
25:05Where they were building these pyramids.
25:07For a very specific purpose.
25:09And we know they're all related.
25:11By the measurements.
25:13Of their bases.
25:14And their heights.
25:16And it's very clear.
25:17They were all based on the megalithic yard.
25:20And so there was a connection between them all.
25:23So ultimately that whole region.
25:25Where these pyramids were being built.
25:27These pyramids were literally meant to be towers.
25:31To reach the heavens.
25:33Even if we look at them as stargates.
25:35That's really what a stargate is.
25:37Right?
25:38They were creating a tower.
25:39To reach the heavens.
25:41And they were all working with each other.
25:43Which means they all had.
25:45Enough of a similar language.
25:48To be able to do this.
25:50And then after the cataclysm.
25:53Everyone got separated.
25:55Languages started to develop separately.
25:58And this is very much in line with that Tower of Babel story.
26:02It's quite possible that this region of Egypt.
26:05was the main source of this story.
26:08And that later researchers began to realize that.
26:12And pointed to this being the true Babylon.
26:15When we look across the plains.
26:17We see above the ground.
26:19There's only a fraction.
26:21Of the secrets and the mystery.
26:23Under our feet.
26:24What the science is telling us today.
26:26Is that when we look at Abu Rawash.
26:29The mysteries that we know exist.
26:32Will only continue to unfold.
26:34In the future generations.
26:36Abu Rawash.
26:38Tells us.
26:39That something happened in this place.
26:41A long time ago.
26:42Something important.
26:44And it was worth the time.
26:45And the energy of the people.
26:47At that time.
26:48To build the pyramid.
26:49To build that staircase.
26:51The fact that so little.
26:53Is understood in this area.
26:55Tells us.
26:56That what is.
26:57Under our feet.
26:58Is probably.
26:59Undisturbed.
27:00Pristine.
27:01And may open the door.
27:03To even deeper.
27:04Understandings.
27:05Of our relationship.
27:06To the cosmos.
27:07As we begin to understand.
27:08Our relationship.
27:09To Abu Rawash.
27:11As the mysteries.
27:13Mount.
27:14From the western banks.
27:15Of the Nile.
27:16What other evidence.
27:17Will be revealed.
27:18To expose.
27:19The vast.
27:20Underbelly.
27:21Of this legendary.
27:22Necropolis.
27:23And alter.
27:24The mainstream.

27:26For the rise.
