00:00However, a sprawling pyramid field dots the sacred sand.
00:05Throughout history, this region has been known as the Memphite Necropolis.
00:12Named after the ancient capital of Egypt, Memphis,
00:15this necropolis, which translates from ancient Greek as cemetery or city of the dead,
00:21is home to the most sophisticated and highly debated ancient civilizations known to man.
00:27The grandiosity, power, and purpose of these pyramids have baffled all who have studied them.
00:36But the mainstream argument for pyramids as being strictly burial tombs is sharply challenged.
00:43What other evidence does this sacred sand conceal
00:46that could alter the mainstream timeline for the rise of human civilizations?
00:53The area that is called the Pyramid Fields is a mysterious area that stretches all the way
01:01from Giza, just outside of Cairo, all the way down to Dashur.
01:06This entire area has pyramids that remain in different states of preservation.
01:13Some of them, when you look at them, look like a mound of earth because they are so deteriorated.
01:18And some of them, such as the ones on Giza, are very clearly beautiful pyramids.
01:23There are a number of different pyramid fields in Egypt.
01:28You have Giza, then a series of other ones, including Abusir, Saqqara, and ending with Dashur.
01:39So you have to ask yourself, why are they all on the West Bank?
01:43Why are they not on the East Bank?
01:45Well, this is because the ancient Egyptians believed that the West was the direction of the dead and the afterlife.
01:56And the East was the direction, because of the rising sun, of life and rebirth.
02:04And this whole dualism of the West representing death, the East representing life, was an integral part of everything the ancient Egyptians did.
02:19Memphis was one of the major capital cities of ancient Egypt.
02:24And there's this huge network in Memphis of the necropolis, you know, these tunnels and crypts and this, you know, very complex structure of building for both, I would say, for rites of initiation, immersion into the underworld, as well as for the burial of the dead.
02:47Where the, you know, the kings and the pharaohs, you know, started to erect their tombs, their temples, their pyramids.
02:57So there's quite the network of underworld initiation and burial that is associated with the Memphis necropolis.
03:06Roughly eight kilometers or five miles northwest of the Giza Plateau sits an anomalous archaeological site named Abu Rawash.
03:19This lesser known location, often referred to as being the home to the pharaoh Jedefre'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.
03:37The ancient history of Abu Rawash appears to be very turbulent and contains many more questions than answers.
03:46Everybody is aware of Giza.
03:51This is where you have the three great pyramids there of Khufu, his son, Khafre, and his son, Menkara.
04:01There's a whole family group here.
04:04But there is a missing link with all of this.
04:09And that is Abu Rawash.
04:11And 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.
04:23It's like some kind of cataclysm has struck this pyramid and virtually destroyed it almost down to the ground.
04:32And you walk amongst these huge blocks of stone weighing tons apiece.
04:39And eventually in the centre of it, there's this massive pit with this causeway going down into it, which is gigantic.
04:53And you look around and you wonder what the hell has gone on here in the past.
04:59I mean, who was Jedefre?
05:00Why did he build here and why was his pyramid destroyed?
05:05Here is a guy, Jedefre, who's the second son of King Khufu, who allegedly built the Great Pyramid.
05:15His older brother dies, and now Jedefre has an opportunity to leave a monument for eternity.
05:23He would look out at what we think of as the Giza Plateau today and see one pyramid, that belonging to his father.
05:29And you would think he would want to build right next to his father.
05:32He'd want to be close to him for eternity.
05:34But he doesn't do that.
05:36He goes five miles northwest.
05:38He goes to a high ground.
05:41He stands on this high ground, what is today called Abu Ruash.
05:44And he looks north into the delta.
05:47You can see all the way to the Mediterranean.
05:49He looks across the Nile River and he sees Heliopolis, the city of the sun.
05:53He says, I'm going to be the first pharaoh that's going to take the name son of Ra, son of the sun.
05:58And I'm going to build my pyramid here.
06:01And it's called Jedefre Starry Sky.
06:04And it's a magnificent building, according to descriptions.
06:07It'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.
06:15It had to have just been absolutely magnificent.
06:17But what's fascinating about his story is that he completely abandons the magnificence of what we see today in the Pyramid of Khufu.
06:26When he builds his pyramid, he doesn't build the chambers on the inside like his father did.
06:33He builds them underground.
06:34He doesn't build his pyramid from scratch.
06:37He builds it on top of a pile of rubble.
06:40And as time will tell, his pyramid disintegrates, either of its own volition or it's destroyed,
06:48possibly by some external force or simply by people coming and harvesting its stones to build other complexes.
06:56Today, we're left with the mystery and these questions of why didn't he build on the Giza Plateau like his younger brother did?
07:03Why did he go off to this mysterious place?
07:07What was it that prompted him to go there?
07:11One of the unusual features of Abu Rawash is the fact that when you go to the site itself, it's rarely visited.
07:18It's a private access kind of job.
07:20You can't just turn up there.
07:22It looks like the stones are scattered around the whole area.
07:26This is one thing that a lot of people notice.
07:29There's granite everywhere.
07:30There's chunks of limestone.
07:32Some of it is beautifully polished and curved in places.
07:36And it does look like there's some kind of cataclysm has hit the site.
07:40We see similar things, though, on the Giza Plateau as well.
07:43So people are suggesting that there's some kind of technology there that may have went wrong and actually caused this kind of destruction.
07:50One of the most mysterious sites that we're finding is Abu Rawash.
07:56And it is a site that we don't know a lot about because the truth is we don't know who built it.
08:03We don't know when it was damaged and when it was destroyed.
08:08What makes it so unique is that it is a pyramid that's open to the sky.
08:14What was perhaps even more interesting is not far from this pyramid is a mysterious staircase.
08:19You can only see this staircase when you're on top of it because it is carved into the flat limestone plateau.
08:30And looking across, you would never see this staircase.
08:33It begins at ground level and it goes gradually about a 45 degree angle down 100 feet.
08:39And today it now goes into the water because when the high dam was built in Egypt, it backed up the Nile in the groundwater.
08:49The groundwater has risen and has actually flooded many of the temples throughout Egypt.
08:55So the question is, what does this staircase lead to?
08:58Who would go through the trouble to build this beautiful staircase that appears to go nowhere or at least into the water at this time?
09:07This is a staircase built into a complex that's 22 miles long, over 4,000 square acres.
09:16And this staircase, the speculation is that it is an opening.
09:21It is an entrance that goes into the tunnels, into the chambers that are underneath this plateau,
09:29just as we have staircases and tunnels that go underneath Giza.
09:34Ground penetrating radar is showing that very clearly.
09:37So who knows what we're going to find?
09:40I think the pyramid and the staircase together are probably working to tell us a story
09:47if we can look at this as a connected system rather than as isolated events in our ancient past.
09:57Abu Ruwash is weird.
09:59And I'll say that because we know so far that the Nile being what it is, a mirror of the Milky Way,
10:08and several of the pyramids are actually mirror images of specific stars and constellations on the Nile.
10:13Well, you have the Giza pyramids, which at this specific moment in time, according to Boval and Gilbert,
10:19mirror the constellation of Orion, 10,400 BC on the equinox.
10:24Well, if you're standing there at that particular moment and you look over this way and you look at the night sky,
10:29you'll see that Sirius is also sitting right next to it,
10:32and it falls right over Yunu, or Heliopolis as it's called today, which is the Academy.
10:38You go over this way and you start going down to the Red Pyramid and the Ben Pyramid,
10:42and they basically are mirror images of the Hades cluster in Taurus.
10:48So if you're going further south, you end up where the Pleiades are.
10:52So that leaves us with Abu Ruwash.
10:54It doesn't seem to match anything.
10:56So now we have a conundrum.
10:57If all the pyramids were laid out according to a mirror map of the sky at the time,
11:02what is Abu Ruwash doing there?
11:04Have we forgotten something?
11:05Is there another element in the sky that we are familiar with?
11:08As the debate around the date of construction of this mysterious site continues,
11:14the evidence that this site was connected to the Memphite necropolis is mounting.
11:19But the question remains, was this potential pyramid destroyed or dismantled?
11:26Let's go with the first argument.
11:28The pyramids were built in one go, so it was part of a unified plan.
11:32So that means that Abu Ruwash also would have had to have been built,
11:36and it has since been destroyed.
11:38And we know that it's true.
11:39So that's option one.
11:40It was a pyramid, and then it's been systematically taken down to build the towns around it.
11:46The second option, which I tend to go with a little bit more,
11:50it's to do with the fact that the pyramids weren't built in their entirety earlier on,
11:54that there was a blueprint laid down,
11:56and Abu Ruwash was part of that blueprint,
11:58and it was stopped for some reason.
12:00We just don't know why.
12:02Because there is a comparative one at Zayed al-Aryam,
12:05which is just probably about also eight miles further south of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
12:09So you've got these two pyramids, which are non-pyramids, or they're destroyed pyramids.
12:14And if you look at the way that Abu Ruwash was built,
12:17with a huge sort of slope down into the middle of the bedrock,
12:20at a certain level of degree, of about 26 degrees, I believe,
12:24fashions that into a T-shape,
12:26it's exactly what we see at Zayed al-Aryam.
12:29And we know that that also was interrupted by some enormous event,
12:33because when the sand was dug out of the pit,
12:37we found all the stones that were ready to be built around that hole,
12:41which is deliberately shaped as part of the interior passages,
12:45the stones have been dumped into the actual hole,
12:47as though they were put there by this enormous force, like a wall of water,
12:51which absolutely fits in the idea that all the pyramids were built at the same moment,
12:55around the time of the flood.
12:58So I very much ascribe to that particular theory,
13:01that Abu Ruwash was part of that plan.
13:04It was a real pyramid.
13:06The problems with Abu Ruwash is,
13:09one, is that we have this amazing technology
13:12that's going into Khufu's pyramid.
13:15Admittedly, it was probably not built by Khufu.
13:21It had been built at an earlier time,
13:24and Khufu simply tried to do some sort of restoration on it,
13:30and therefore his name was attached to it.
13:34But the fact that his successor
13:35couldn't even complete the pyramid
13:41that he tried to build
13:42suggests that the technology was lost somewhere.
13:47Indications are
13:48it was either taken apart
13:50or it was blown apart.
13:52So that means Jedefri,
13:54whose name literally means
13:55the power of the Jid,
13:58which represented the spinal column
14:00of Osiris.
14:01He probably did not build this pyramid.
14:04It was part of the bigger network
14:06that was being built in antiquity.
14:09If anything, he tried to restore it
14:12and wasn't able to restore it.
14:15As the relics from this perch above Giza
14:17continue to puzzle alternative researchers,
14:21a clue left to us from an Italian cartographer
14:24may spark a new debate
14:26on an unsolved ancient legend.
14:28I was in Florence
14:31and had the opportunity
14:32to visit the Galileo Museum.
14:35It's an amazing place.
14:37And one of the artifacts that was in there
14:39that caught my attention
14:40was a map
14:41titled the Fra Mauro Map
14:44by a cartographer
14:46from the 15th century.
14:49He was Italian,
14:50and he'd actually taken the painstaking effort
14:52to draw out
14:54every aspect of the known world
14:56at that time.
14:57This is 1457.
15:01One of the first places I went to
15:02as I looked at this map
15:03is I looked straight for Egypt.
15:07So I looked for the Nile River,
15:09but I was unable to find
15:11the Nile River.
15:12It was under a different name,
15:14listed as a river named Gion.
15:17I immediately thought,
15:19why would he have named the river Gion?
15:22Gion is a reference
15:23to the Bible in Genesis,
15:25the place where the four rivers meet
15:27is the Garden of Eden.
15:29And the four rivers
15:30are supposed to be
15:31the Tigris, Euphrates,
15:32the Gion River,
15:34and the Pichon River.
15:35Why was the Gion listed
15:37as the Nile River?
15:39I also noticed that the Giza Plateau
15:40had five pyramids on it,
15:42not three.
15:43This and many other questions
15:46led me to investigate this.
15:48And what I found
15:49has the potential
15:50to dramatically shift
15:52how we perceive and see
15:54all the sites of Egypt
15:56versus the Mesopotamian sites.
15:59And in particular,
16:00it pointed directly to
16:02the word Babylonia,
16:04which I'd recognized
16:05because Babylon
16:07is the old name
16:09for Cairo.
16:12In fact,
16:12today it's even marked
16:14by the fortress of Babylon,
16:16which is not far
16:17to the north-west
16:19of Giza.
16:21As I look more deeply
16:23into this subject
16:24of Babylonia,
16:25I noticed that
16:26eight kilometers
16:27northwest
16:29of the Giza Plateau
16:30is a very enigmatic place
16:32that sits immediately
16:33to the west
16:34of what we would consider
16:36old Babylon.
16:37Aswan.
16:38This is another
16:39pyramid complex
16:40that has two pyramids
16:42that have been
16:43partially destroyed,
16:45flattened,
16:45as it were.
16:46They sit high
16:47atop a plateau,
16:49both pyramids
16:50being made
16:50of the very expensive
16:52and difficult
16:52to quarry
16:53rose granite
16:54that comes all the way
16:55from Aswan,
16:56a full 800 kilometers away.
16:59That's a lot of effort
17:00to undertake.
17:02As we look around
17:03the Aburawash Plateau
17:04today,
17:05we'll find
17:06the strewn blocks
17:07literally hundreds
17:08of meters,
17:09many of them
17:1010 to 15
17:11or even 20 tons
17:12in weight
17:12that have been
17:13tossed hundreds
17:14of meters
17:15from the center point
17:16to where those
17:17blocks sit today.
17:20This is a really
17:22enigmatic place
17:23that requires
17:24a lot more study.
17:26And given its reference
17:27directly across
17:28along the Gion River,
17:31matching
17:31with Babylon,
17:33I couldn't help
17:34but ask myself
17:34the question,
17:35might there be
17:37more to this story
17:38yet to be
17:39unfolded?
17:40The Jed Afray
17:41Satellite Pyramid
17:42would have stood
17:43a 103.7 feet
17:45high.
17:46But because it
17:47sits 300 feet
17:48higher in elevation
17:49than the Giza Plateau,
17:51and because of its
17:52very steep architecture,
17:54it would have
17:54appeared to tower
17:55over the Giza Plateau.
17:57The Great Pyramid
17:58is 481 feet,
18:00but the Jed Pyramid
18:02that is immediately
18:02behind the Jed Afray
18:04Satellite would have
18:06stood about 600 feet
18:08high when compared
18:10with the same elevation
18:11with the Giza Plateau.
18:12This would have by far
18:14looked as though
18:14it would have been
18:15the tallest building
18:16in all of the land.
18:18It could have seen
18:19very likely for many,
18:20many tens of miles
18:21in distance
18:22from both the Giza Plateau
18:25as well as from
18:25Abu Rewash.
18:27What did these pyramids
18:29represent?
18:30And their construction,
18:32why was it made
18:33out of the most expensive
18:34rose quartz granite
18:36that is only found
18:38in the sarcophagus
18:39in the King's Chamber?
18:40Because of its expense.
18:43Both of these pyramids
18:44had casing stones
18:45that were entirely
18:46rose granite.
18:48Crystalline pyramids.
18:50Both of these pyramids
18:51somehow exploded.
18:54How did those blocks
18:55get so far away,
18:56weighing 10, 20,
18:58even 30 tons?
18:58We only have more
19:01and more questions
19:02related to what
19:03the exact purpose was
19:04of this plateau
19:06high upon
19:08this hilltop.
19:10What was the meaning
19:11of these pyramids
19:12and why do we have
19:13no reference to them
19:14throughout any of our history?
19:16Now, this Abu Rewash pyramid,
19:18because it has
19:19an 86.4 foot
19:20base width,
19:22means that its height
19:23would have been
19:24103.7 feet high.
19:26And then a 60 degree
19:28pyramid slope angle
19:30immediately adjacent
19:31to it,
19:32to the diagonal.
19:33And what you find there
19:34is that that pyramid
19:36with a 60 degree angle
19:37would have stood
19:38approximately
19:39300 feet high
19:40from the plateau,
19:42with the plateau
19:43being 300 feet higher
19:44than the Giza Plateau,
19:46referencing a pyramid
19:47that would have been
19:48approximately 600 feet high
19:50with a super steep
19:51slope angle.
19:52It would have
19:53definitely left
19:54an imposing feeling
19:55on anybody
19:56looking at it
19:57from the Giza Plateau.
19:59And maybe the reference
20:01is something
20:02that's closer to heaven.
20:03The base of the
20:04Jed Efra satellite
20:05pyramid,
20:0686 feet 0.4,
20:08so 86.4 feet,
20:10which references
20:1186,400 seconds
20:13in one day.
20:14Is this telling us
20:15something about
20:16the relationship
20:17of the arc of time?
20:18As I started
20:21to look at this
20:21and imagine
20:22standing on the
20:23Giza Plateau,
20:24if I looked up
20:25to look at
20:26these foreboding
20:28structures,
20:29crystalline pyramids
20:30high upon this hilltop
20:32far off in the distance,
20:33having a pink
20:35granite hue,
20:37I started to ask,
20:39might there be
20:40any reference
20:41historically
20:41to these pyramids?
20:44And I could only
20:45find one location.
20:46These extraordinarily
20:49tall structures
20:50might be
20:51a direct reference
20:53to the story
20:54of the Tower of Babel.
20:56I also noted
20:58that the relationship
20:59to Babylon,
21:00as well as
21:01the relationship
21:02as mentioned
21:03in the Bible,
21:05the Genesis account
21:06in chapter 10,
21:08where we notice
21:08that this structure
21:10of the Tower of Babel
21:12was supposed to have
21:13been built
21:13next to the Gihon River,
21:15which also is where
21:17Babylon would have
21:18been found,
21:19or Babylonia,
21:20as we find
21:21on the Fraumaro map.
21:23I couldn't help
21:24but ask myself
21:24the question,
21:25given the age
21:27and the large
21:28block construction,
21:30might this location
21:31of Abu Rewash
21:32actually have been
21:34the place
21:35where Nimrod,
21:36the son of Cush,
21:37would have built
21:38these two pyramid
21:40structures
21:40to represent
21:41the Tower of Babel
21:43and ascent
21:44back into heaven?
21:48As we dive
21:50more deeply
21:50into the Biblical
21:51account
21:52in Genesis chapter 10,
21:54we see that
21:55Nimrod,
21:57the builder
21:57of the Tower of Babel,
21:59which is where
22:00the languages
22:01were supposedly
22:02confounded,
22:03was the son
22:04of a very famous
22:05person
22:06by the name
22:07of Cush,
22:08who was the
22:09grandson of Noah,
22:10Noah of Noah's
22:12Ark.
22:14Nimrod was known
22:14as the Great Hunter.
22:16Notice also
22:17the reference
22:18to the Great Hunter
22:19of Orion.
22:21Nimrod,
22:22being the son
22:23of Cush,
22:24would have come
22:25from where
22:26the Cushite people
22:26came.
22:28And in the Bible
22:29it actually
22:29references as well
22:30that the river
22:31Gihon goes into
22:33and flows into
22:34the place
22:35of Cush
22:36because Gihon
22:37actually means
22:38Gushing water,
22:39the word
22:40Gush
22:40or Cush
22:41is from
22:41this derivative.
22:44So therefore,
22:46as we look
22:47at the place
22:48where this river
22:49came from
22:49in southern Egypt,
22:51we then must
22:53ask ourselves
22:53the question,
22:54is it more likely
22:55that the Cushite
22:57people
22:57that are referenced
22:58in the Bible
22:59were in the
23:00ancient land
23:01of Chem?
23:03And in fact,
23:03I could find
23:04no reference
23:05in contrast
23:06to the people
23:07of Cush
23:08ever having
23:08visited Mesopotamia.
23:11So if we take
23:12the biblical account
23:13at face value
23:14and also
23:15that Josephus
23:16and the Nile River
23:18was known
23:19anciently
23:20as the Gihon River,
23:21we must consider
23:23Abu Rwash
23:24as a potential
23:25location
23:25for the ancient
23:27Tower of Babel.
23:28The story
23:30of the Tower
23:30of Babel
23:31is very interesting,
23:32especially concerning
23:33the origin
23:34of human languages.
23:36But let's explore
23:36this notion
23:37that the Babylon
23:39we know of
23:40is a replica city
23:41of something
23:42that existed
23:43far earlier,
23:45a city that we
23:45now know
23:46as Cairo.
23:47And what if the Tower
23:48of Babel
23:49was there
23:49and it was destroyed?
23:51How would that
23:52affect our understanding
23:53of human history?
23:54The ramifications
23:57of changing
23:57the original
23:58location
23:59of the city
24:00of Babylon
24:01are incomprehensible.
24:03It would rewrite
24:04history books.
24:05It would change
24:06mainstream understanding
24:08of human history.
24:10And it would change
24:11what we know
24:12about human language.
24:14Prior to the
24:15Younger Dryas
24:16incident,
24:18there seems
24:20to be the suggestion
24:21that there was
24:22a worldwide network
24:23going on.
24:24And that there
24:25were certain areas,
24:27particularly like
24:28this area in Egypt,
24:29but also at
24:31Teotihuacan
24:32in Mexico
24:32and Xi'an
24:34in China,
24:34where they were
24:35building these pyramids
24:36for a very
24:38specific purpose.
24:39And we know
24:40they're all related
24:41by the measurements
24:42of their bases
24:44and their heights.
24:46And it's very clear
24:47they were all
24:48based on the
24:49megalithic yard.
24:51And so there was
24:51a connection
24:52between them all.
24:53So ultimately
24:54that whole region
24:55where these pyramids
24:56were being built,
24:57these pyramids
24:58were literally
24:59meant to be
25:00towers
25:00to reach the heavens.
25:02Even if we look
25:03at them as stargates,
25:05that's really
25:06what a stargate is,
25:07right?
25:07You're creating
25:08a tower
25:08to reach the heavens.
25:11And they were
25:12all working
25:12with each other,
25:13which means
25:13they all had
25:14enough of a
25:16similar language
25:17to be able
25:19to do this.
25:20And then after
25:21the cataclysm,
25:23everyone got
25:24separated,
25:25languages started
25:26to develop
25:27separately,
25:28and this is
25:28very much in line
25:29with that Tower
25:30of Babel story.
25:32It's quite possible
25:33that this region
25:34of Egypt
25:34was the main
25:35source
25:36of this story,
25:38and that later
25:39researchers began
25:40to realize that
25:41and pointed to
25:43this being
25:43the true Babylon.
25:44When we look
25:46across the plains,
25:47what we see
25:48above the ground
25:49is only a fraction
25:50of the secrets
25:52and the mystery
25:53under our feet.
25:54What the science
25:55is telling us today
25:56is that when we
25:57look at Abu Rawash,
25:59the mysteries
26:00that we know
26:01exist will only
26:02continue to unfold
26:04in future generations.
26:06Abu Rawash
26:07tells us
26:09that something
26:10happened in this
26:11place a long
26:11time ago,
26:12something important
26:13and it was worth
26:15the time
26:15and energy
26:16of the people
26:16at that time
26:18to build the pyramid,
26:19to build that staircase.
26:21The fact that
26:22so little
26:23is understood
26:24in this area
26:24tells us
26:25that what is
26:27under our feet
26:28is probably
26:29undisturbed,
26:31pristine,
26:32and may open
26:33the door
26:33to even deeper
26:34understandings
26:35of our relationship
26:36to the cosmos
26:37as we begin
26:38to understand
26:38our relationship
26:39to Abu Rawash.
26:41As the mysteries
26:43mount
26:43from the western
26:44banks of the Nile,
26:46what other evidence
26:47will be revealed
26:48to expose
26:49the vast underbelly
26:50of this legendary
26:51necropolis
26:52and alter
26:53the mainstream
26:54timeline
26:55for the rise
26:56of human
26:57civilizations?
