Now, we come about building the pyramid. All the stones I told you came from Giza Plateau. We found out what happened first. They cut in the solid rock. And they made the base of the pyramid to be 28 feet on the solid rock. No stones. Do you get this? Yes. We have in Egypt 120 pyramids. We don't have only Kofu pyramid that everyone is talking about. You have 120 pyramids. This is one of them.
But the reason that this pyramid is so accurate and strong, because Giza Plateau is the only site in Egypt of the pyramids. It's a part of the Mokattam formation. It has three levels. level one and two are very, very stones. But level three is the top quality of the stones. Then the Egyptian uses stone to build the pyramid.
Then after they make the base of the pyramid to be 20 feet eight of stone, we found out 1,000 feet away, we found out the quarry location.
Only. Only the stones... The stones that came from outside are the casing stones. And I will talk about this later. That came from Torah. And the granite came from Aswan. And the casing stones were the outside smooth surface. Exactly. It came from Torah.
Then now when we discovered the quarry location and the base of the pyramid, we thought how they established the ramp. Okay. You know the ramp? To move the stones. We found out if the Egyptian will make the ramp from the quarry to the base, it will never happen. Because when you raise the base, you need to extend the ramp.
We found out, listen to this carefully, that the only way to have a permanent ramp is to come to the southwest corner of the main pyramid. They built the ramp like this. Okay. And I excavated, and these are photos in my book, Giza and the Pyramids. I excavated from here to here. When the Egyptians construct a ramp, when they finish building the pyramid, they demolish the ramp.
They cannot demolish all of it. They have to leave something in the ground.
Do you get this? Yes. I excavated from here to here. I found in situ remains of the ram.
It's in my book, Giza and the Pyramids. Maybe look up from his book. Joe, these are the tombs of the pyramid builders.
And this is all what I discovered. This is my discovery of everything. Every piece of sand here tells us about the builder of the pyramid. But let me continue this. I will come to you The now let us let us if you go to my book, you'll find out that you I found here that you write and the Flint tools. Listen, the now I will come the stones for building the pyramid came from the plateau.
The casing came from Torah. Now we come to how how many years Kufr ruled. So there is one big discovery happened few years ago. Are these the tools? No, no. This is tools for artists. The tools in our book, which is big, do you write tools? And big Flint tools. Big ones.
It's not. It's because it's everywhere. It's not only in the workman only. It's in every site. You have these tools in many sites.
I ask the people online, but they are in, remains in my book. Are they in a museum somewhere? There is some in the Kerry Museum, yes.
Okay.
But I don't know.
Now, I want to come to... What museum would have them? Cairo Museum.
Yes.
Now, a few years ago, a major discovery happened for the first time. It is the first time that we have written evidence about building the pyramid of Kufu.
Three years ago.
Do you want to know what's in this papyri? I do. This papyri was found in Sinai in a port that belongs to Kufu. And inside this port, there were caves. And inside the caves found remains of both and this big papyri. Large, huge.
