Now, I am sure now that Imhotep's tomb is in this area. Wow. Now I come back.
All what I do is digging.
I want you to come to see what I do and what I discovered. I want to.
And what I discovered, I can show it to you.
But can we continue... How it happened until you have the pyramids? Sure. Then Imhotep came and he built the same mastaba. Mastaba in Arabic means a bench. He built the construction in mud brick of stone for the first time. And he added more section to the first one. And he put above that five mastabas. It's called the Step Pyramid. So that's the first one.
In the pyramid text, they say that the Step Pyramid is the stairs that the king is buried underneath to go to heaven.
It's almost... almost 700 years.
But listen. Now, on Dynasty III, there is another pyramid was found. And only I found recently that I did not excavate it completely. I found a pyramid, which is the end of Dynasty III. of a king called Houni. Then now we came to Seneffro. His name is Houni? Houni, Houni. Houni, okay. H-U-N-I. Okay. Then we come to Dynasty IV, Seneffro. Okay. Seneffro had a genius architect.
His name was Nefermaat. Then he started... Sounds like a good name for a genius. Yeah, he started to build a step pyramid like this in a site called Maidoum. But for a reason we do not know, he left it unfinished. And he went to a place called Dahshur. He built the pyramid with a huge angle. And he changed the angle. It became bent. And he built another pyramid.
If you look at the other pyramid of the father of Kufu, it's exactly equal to the Great Pyramid. This is the first true pyramid, but people never go to the shore to look at this pyramid. People always look at Kufu. Then you have in dynasty four, the pyramids were huge because of the quality of the stones. In dynasty five and six, there is no good quality of stones.
Then the Egyptian made decrees on the volume of the stones. and did increase in the volume of the war reliefs. Temples began to be decorated with scenes for the first time. In the Middle Kingdom, another trend. Mud brick pyramid, but underneath maze corridors of stones that if you go down, you will lose your way. Wow.
In the new kingdom, they came in the top of the Valley of the Kings, a shape of the pyramid, and they buried all the kings like King Tut and others underneath the pyramid shape.
I will send it tomorrow.
But give the email to Greg and Mustafa now. We will do that. And they are the people that will talk to them now to arrange for your trip. Okay. And I will invite you for a good- How many days do you think I should go? 10 days at least. Jamie, you got to come.
100%.
No.
Oh, there is a water table. This shaft... I came, I brought a company, and we did suck all the water out. Oh. Until I found underneath a sarcophagus and four pillars. Oh, wow. And this is the symbolic burial of the god Osiris. Because Giza Plateau was called in the New Kingdom Per-Ozer-Neb-Rastau, the house of Osiris, lord of Rastau.
Rastau means cemetery, but literally means the underground tunnels. That Osiris is ruling. Then Herodotus, when he came, he talked about this water under the pyramid. It is in the shaft. And this one beast entered inside and swam in it. Okay. You know, I met him because I wanted to convince the younger people that pyramids were built by aliens. That's why I took him to three different sites.
Many people in America believe that you believe in aliens. when I talk to them that I'm coming to see you?
You don't believe in aliens. You don't believe in carbon dating. I am a scientist. If you believe in something, write an article. Then I can read. But don't give me a theory. But the theory of planets containing intelligent life is... No, that's not true. I have been debating Graham Hancock and Ruben Bufal
