One of the um things I was super curious

about because I was actually there last

last week is this place,

>> Giza.

>> Pyramids of Giza,

>> the great pyramid of Giza.

Here we look at it attributed to the

pharaoh Kufu

who was a pharaoh of the fourth dynasty.

>> What is the mystery here? So again,

pyramids are this big stack of like

concrete blocks in Egypt.

>> What is the why is it so mysterious?

>> Well, first of all, they're not

concrete. They're they're hu limestone

um and granite. Uh first of all, it's

mysterious for the sheer size of it.

Look,

so you got roughly 750 ft along each

side. Okay? And they vary in length by

only fractions of an inch. They've got

it just about spot-on exact on the side

length. And you want that in a pyramid

because if you get it wrong, you're

going to end up with a corkcrew rather

than a pyramid. If you get it wrong at

the bottom, those errors are going to

magnify and they're going to get worse

and worse and it's not going to be a

pyramid at the end of the day. Secondly,

weight calculated at about 6 million

tons,

more than 2 million individual blocks of

stone. I've climbed the pyramid five

times. Once I climbed it, when there was

an event taking place on the Giza

Plateau, picnics basically, and and a

lot of Kyne just decided to climb the

pyramid. As I say, I've climbed it four

other times without other people there,

but this time there were hundreds of

people on the pyramid. That's when I

realized how difficult this thing is to

make because the biggest danger was the

other people. Once you're up two or

three courses, you fall, you're dead.

It's uh it's a 52° slope. there's no way

you're going to stop. You're going to

come down and still every year people

die on the Great Pyramid. That's why

they've made it illegal to climb it now.

So, there's that. Then there's the

almost perfect alignment of the Great

Pyramid to true north. Not to compass

North, which is about 10 or 11 degrees

off true north, but to astronomical

north, real north. The Great Pyramid is

aligned within 360ths of a single

degree. I put it that way because

degrees are divided into 60 minutes. So,

3 minutes of arc. The Great Pyramid is

aligned to that level of precision,

360ths of a single degree to true north.

And they've done that on a 6 million ton

monument, which is 481 ft high if you

take account of its original height,

which has a 52° slope, which is filled

with internal corridors and spaces,

Grand Gallery, the ascending, the

descending corridors. All of this is

extremely difficult to do. It is it's

not impossible to do because we see it

there. Uh, could our civilization do it?

Yeah, I think we could. Uh, but would we

do it? No, I don't think we would. Uh,

the motive wouldn't be there. People

say, "What the why? I mean, why do you

want to align it perfectly to true

north? It's enough to ask me to build a

6 million ton monument, but you want it

aligned to true north as well. Come on.

I mean, that's a really difficult

specification. We'd find that hard." um

a kind of artistry

was put to work on the Great Pyramid as

well as skill. Let's get rid of any

notion that slaves were involved. They

were not there. There wasn't slavery in

the Old Kingdom anyway, but this is a

work of love from the first to the last

stone. It's a work done with great skill

and care. It's a beautiful and

extraordinary thing both inside and out.

It sits almost exactly on latitude 30

which is 1/ird of the way between the

north pole and the equator. And uh it

incorporates the dimensions of the earth

on a scale of 1 to 43,200

in its own dimensions. So if you take

the height of the great pyramid and

multiply it by 43,200.

I'll explain why that number matters.

Multiply it by that number, you get the

polar radius of the earth. Measure the

base perimeter of the Great Pyramid.

multiply it by the same factor, 43,200,

and you get the equatorial circumference

of the Earth.

Archaeologists know this. They say it's

a coincidence, total coincidence, just

by chance. However, I I could agree with

them actually if the scale was not 1 to

43,200.

But the fact that it's 1 to 43,200

changes everything because that belongs

to a sequence of numbers that is found

in ancient mythology all around the

world. And those numbers are all

multiples of the number 72. And I

mentioned at the beginning of our

discussion the book by the great

historian of science Giorgio de

Santiliano professor of the history of

science at MIT. He was the first to

identify that these numbers and the

imagery that go with them derive from a

phenomenon called the precession of the

equinoxes. I better explain that a

little bit. The procession of the

equinoxes.

Everybody's heard the song We live in

the dawning of the age of Aquarius. I'm

sure you've heard that.

>> Uh no comment.

>> We live in the dawning of the age of

Aquarius.

That's astrology at the moment. And for

the last 2,000 years on the spring

equinox, the sun has risen against the

background of the constellation of

Pisces.

That's the age of Pisces. We live in the

age of Pisces. It's not an accident that

the early Christians used the fish as

their symbol.

>> The next constellation on the zodiac

when you go backwards around it is

Aquarius.

And the procession is actually caused by

a wobble on the axis of the Earth. I'm

going to pretend that this is the Earth.

>> Okay.

>> And instead of just doing this, while

it's doing that, it's also doing that.

It's wobbling.

>> And that affects the rising time and

season at which particular stars rise.

It affects two things noticeably. One

thing it affects is the pole star. At

the moment, the pole star is Polaris.

The pole star, this is astron

astronomical north. It's the star

towards which the extended north pole

pole of the earth points most directly.

>> Okay. At present, it's Polaris. It

hasn't always been Polaris. 4,000 years

ago, it was Thuban in the constellation

of Draco. That's because the Earth's

axis is doing this. At the horizon, it

does the same thing with the zodiacal

constellations. We shift gradually

through each constellation lasts about

2,000 years in each constellation. The

great year where we come back to square

one is just under 26,000 years. 25,920

years is the convention that's applied

in ancient mythology. So the fact that

one of those numbers is the scale used

to encode the dimensions of the earth in

the Great Pyramid cannot be accidental

in my view. It's a deliberate choice. If

it was 1 to 57,000

I wouldn't pay attention to it. If it

was 1 to 21,000

I wouldn't pay attention to it. But 1 to

43,200

that's the number of syllables in the

Rigveda for example. You find this all

over the world everywhere.

>> So what does that imply or suggest? Uh

what it suggests is that incorporated

into the building of the great pyramid

was knowledge that was not supposed to

have existed 4 and a half thousand years

ago. In fact, knowledge that was not

supposed to have existed until 2,000

years ago. Hypocus of Alexandria is the

Greek who was supposed to have

discovered procession. Uh but the

incorporation of procession in the

structure of the Great Pyramid says to

me that that knowledge is much older. It

was already old then. I really want to

make sure I'm clear on this procession

thing because I'm not I'm not super

clear. Yeah. Um, what does it what does

it mean procession? It means that

there's a certain star pattern that we

see once every 20,000 years.

>> It it it it precesses. It goes

backwards. The direction through the

through the zodiac is is forwards in the

normal year, but in the long term year

because of the wobble, the sun rise

against the background of the spring

equinox. The sun rises perfectly due

east. It always does. It also rises

perfectly due east on the autumn

equinox. On the summer solstice, the sun

rises in the northern hemisphere north

of east and south of east on the on the

winter solstice. The key moment for the

ancients was the equinox. It was

considered to define the character of

the year. And what defined it was the

constellation that housed the sun that

was the house of the sun.

>> Okay. So the star pattern.

>> Yeah. The a zodiacal constellation.

These the constellations of the zodiac

lie along what is called the ecliptic,

the path of the sun.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. The earth, the moon, we're all on

the ecliptic within a few degrees above

or below it. And and therefore, these

are constellations that we can see the

sun against the background of.

>> Constellation like Orion, you'll never

see the sun against the background of

it. You're only going to see it against

the background of the zodiacal

constellations that lie on the so-called

path of the sun. And those are the 12

familiar constellations of the zodiac.

And as I say, we're living in the age of

Pisces right now. And uh according to

ancient astrology, we're going to be

making the transition into Aquarius

within about the next 150 years. The sun

will have left Pisces and will be rising

in Aquarius. So actually the song is

true. We do live in the dawning of the

age of Aquarius. The only question is

whether that means anything or not. The

ancients thought it did. Uh we think it

doesn't. Uh, I'm not sure who's right.

>> So, I'm going to repeat this back to you

to check if I'm I've got it correctly,

but I suspect I might not have. Within

the design of the pyramids, there was a

number which you said was 43,000.

>> It's a scale.

>> It's a scale.

>> It's a scale that's used for the height

and the base perimeter of the Great

Pyramid. Base perimeter, measure, four

sides, add it together. Height, the

actual height of the Great Pyramid. It's

true original height. It lost about 30

feet in an earthquake in 131. But you

can calculate the true original height

from the angle of the of the sides.

>> Ah yeah right.

>> Um and when you take that height

>> and multiply it by 43,200

you get the polar radius of the earth.

>> You get the radius of the earth.

>> That's from the center of the earth to

the edge of the earth. It's not the

diameter of the earth. The diameter is

twice the radius.

>> It's the it's the polar radius. Okay.

>> A key dimension of the earth. measure

the sides and you get on the same scale

1 to 43,200 you get the equatorial

circumference of the earth what the

earth measures at its equator its

largest its largest measure um and and

that uh is either a coincidence or it's

deliberate and because of the number

chosen and because that number is all

over ancient mythology I think it's

deliberate

>> that means that they must have known the

circumference of the earth

>> yeah it means means they they knew the

circumference of the earth and it means

they chose a place to put the great

pyramid which also was relevant. Uh this

isn't latitude 23 or latitude 37. This

is just a fraction off latitude 30°

north. So therefore 1/3 of the way

between the equator and the north pole.

It's a it's a re it's a significant

relevant. What it's telling us is this

monument speaks to the earth. This

monument is locked into the true north

of this planet. This monument gives you

the dimensions of this planet. This

monument is speaking to this planet.

>> How could they possibly know the

circumference of the Earth 4,500 years

ago?

>> Because they're a lost civilization.

Because the the knowledge comes down

from a former time. I don't think the

Egyptians knew it. I think it came down

I think it was inherited knowledge from

what I'm here to advocate for and to

speak for the possibility of a major

forgotten episode in the human story

>> which could be 20,000 years ago and

they've passed it down in in myths and

stories.

>> Yes, passed it down but not only in

myths and stories. Um, this is something

else that I will I'll just hint at here

that I intend to get into in the new

book is that there appear to have been

organizations

in each of these civilizations. In

Egypt, they were called the followers of

Horus.

In Sumer, they were called the Akcaloo.

They served as advisers to kings. They

were called sages. There's a reference

to them. Many cultures refer to them as

the seven sages. They provided advice to

kings in the historical period. And I'm

wondering whether we're looking at some

kind of longived organization here which

is carrying down information looking for

the right time to switch the engine of

civilization back on again. I know it's

sounds extreme but uh that's what I do.

I explore I explore extreme ideas and

see whether and see whether they fit or

not. And I'm beginning to find this idea

does fit it. It fit it fits with a whole

range of information which will be in

the next book.

>> A sage that reports to the king. And

>> it not only reports to the king but

advises the king

>> on what?

>> On everything on what to do. Oh,

>> okay.

>> Yeah.

>> The abcalu in the ancient traditions of

Sumer they existed in the pre-diluvian

world. They were there in the world

before the flood. Then there and and

they taught mankind knowledge then. But

the flood came, the cataclysm came, they

were wiped out. But some of the abcalu

survived and they appear after the flood

as advisers to the earliest historical

kings of Sumer. And I'm just wondering

whether you know there are there are

religions in the world which have

maintained traditions and maintained

offices, priesthoods for example for

thousands of years. I don't see why the

same shouldn't be true here. Why there

shouldn't have been some driving motive

at the end of the ice age to preserve in

a way what they knew and to find

mechanisms to pass it down. One

mechanism is to embed it in wonderful

stories that will go on being told. And

another mechanism is to set up some kind

of secret society which is operating

behind the scenes to guide and steer

society. I'm not going to present the

evidence for that here, but it's an

avenue I'm pursuing. If I if I don't

find it a satisfactory avenue, I'll

abandon it. But at the moment, it's

looking very interesting.

>> Then where did all this information

go? You know, because if the people who

built the pyramids of Giza had this

information, where did the sages go and

with their information?

>> Yeah, it's very it's very odd actually

what what happens after Giza is

fascinating. Um because once you once

you leave the fourth dynasty period, get

into the fifth and sixth dynasties,

pyramid building collapses. The stuff

they're making in the fifth dynasty,

like the pyramid of Unas, fifth dynasty

pyramid in Sakara.

Inside it's stunningly beautiful.

Beautiful tomb chamber, stars on the

ceiling, incredible hieroglyphs on the

side. It's magical. But outside it's

just a pile of dust. It's a mess. It

doesn't even you could hardly recognize

it as a pyramid. And it's true of all

those. So this is odd in itself.

Normally when human cultures create

something they continue to work on it

and it tends to get better and better

not worse and worse. So it's odd what

happens to the pyramids that they get

worse and worse in Egypt. It's like job

done that move on and that's there and

that's going to speak to human beings

not just for a generation, not just for

a hundred years. It's going to be there

speaking to us for thousands of years.

It's going to be sitting there on the

Giza plateau like an enormous question

mark calling towards it those who don't

see it just as a heap of stones but

actually see it as something wonderful

and magnificent and mysterious calling

them to and saying learn about me figure

me out and in the process of learning

about me you're going to learn so much

else well in learning about the great

pyramid I find that it is encoded with

astronomical information that should not

be there if the current model of the

history of science is correct. I think

the current model of the history of

science is wrong. I think this

information was known much earlier and

it's encoded in the great pyramid. Once

I know that, then I have to start

thinking what else does that mean? And

what else it means to me is a big

forgotten episode in our story

>> again. Why? Because they had

intelligence that they're not credited

with having at that time.

>> Yes. Because it's there. Because there

should not be a monument of this scale

which incorporates into it information

that was not supposed to be available to

human beings for another 2 and a half

thousand years.

>> So they must have got it from somewhere.

>> Yes, they must have got it from

somewhere. And and uh the fact that it's

there is is just a fact. All that's left

for us to say is either it's a

coincidence, complete coincidence, or

it's the result of a deliberate

decision. And if it's the result of a

deliberate decision, that weighs much

more towards a deliberate decision

because of the scale chosen because the

scale is part of a system that is found

all over the ancient world. It's not a

random number. It's a very specific

number. uh and it's a number that is

derived from a motion of the earth

itself from the precession of the

earth's axis. It is derived from that.

So I'm situated at a significant

latitude. I'm oriented to true north and

I incorporate the measurements of your

planet on a scale derived from your

planet itself. That's what the Great

Pyramid is saying to us. And it's saying

figure that out.

>> Do you think there's something

underneath it?

>> Oh, there's definitely something

underneath it. Because we think of it as

a sort of like building with the with

tunnels inside it. But

>> yeah, when you go into the great pyramid

now, you go in through what is what is

called the robber's tunnel or Mammoon's

hole. The Khalifa Mammoon had a notion

that there would be a entrance to the

Great Pyramid in its northern face.

Other pyramids had been found with

entrances in their northern face, but at

that time the Great Pyramid was

completely covered with perfectly smooth

limestone facing stones and nobody could

see the entrance. They came off later in

that earthquake in 13001, but when he

broke in in the 9th century, they didn't

know where the door was. Apparently,

there was a place you could almost

literally press a switch and open that

door, but they couldn't find it. So,

they broke in with sledgehammers and

chisels and they smashed their way into

the Great Pyramid. And then at a certain

moment when they're about 60 or 70 ft

into the Great Pyramid, they hear

something dropping in a hollow space. a

big something has fallen in a hollow

space. They head towards that sound and

then they enter the original corridor

system of the Great Pyramid. And that's

the way we all go in now. We go in

through that robber's tunnel and then we

go up the Grand Gallery, but we can also

go down. We can go down to the

subterranean chamber, which is 100 ft

vertically beneath the base of the Great

Pyramid, deep in the bedrock. I actually

think that was the original sacred site

on that monument is that subterranean

chamber. I don't advise anybody with

claustrophobia to go down there. You're

very conscious that you got a 6 million

ton monument sitting right above you and

it place that has earthquakes. Um it can

be quite oppressive, but that's just a

hint of what's under the Giza plateau.

That's just that's an accessible bit. Uh

but it's it's it's already obvious that

there that there is so much more. Some

of it's been picked up with ground

penetrating radar. And I'll take this

opportunity to say that the hysterical

reaction of mainstream scientists to the

announcement by Filippo Beyond uh

>> what is he saying?

>> He's saying that there are enormous

structures under the second pyramid that

not the great pyramid under the pyramid

attributed to Kafrey Kufu's successor.

the the structures that go hundreds of

feet deep under there, structures that

involve spiral

kind of stairways. The reaction has been

overwhelmingly dismissing this.

Archaeologists have not they won't look

further. They say it's impossible and

they won't look at it. And I think

that's shameful for people who imagine

they're scientists. They should be

looking further. I'd like to see the

technology trial in Turkey. There are

underground cities in Turkey, Kaimaki,

for example. we know every room in those

underground cities. Run this technology

on them. If they accurately reproduce

what we already know is there, then we

can be pretty sure they're accurately

reproducing what's under the Giza

pyramids. We need to do a lot more work

before dismissing this. So, I'm I remain

open to the notion that a huge

underworld awaits discovery under Giza.

And the ancient Egyptians themselves

felt that way. They felt that Giza, the

ancient name for it was Rosttow. It was

an entrance to the underworld. They saw

it as an entrance to the afterlife

realm. It makes sense that there would

be much much underground structures

there.

>> And you've been alone in the pyramids.

>> Being with large groups in the pyramid

is difficult in the sense that the

pyramid to me feels like a personality.

When I'm in there with a large group, I

I feel the pyramid withdrawing. It It's

like it doesn't want to speak to you

anymore. It's the place becomes a dead

space. But but if you can be in there

with a very small group or be there

alone

and just be still,

let the silence descend. Sit in that

silence in the very low lighting that's

in there.

Just pause and

remind yourself that you're in the last

surviving wonder of the ancient world

and it's an incredible privilege to be

there.

And just let it speak to you. And it

does. This is of course my critics will

say another proof that Hanok's a

lunatic. Uh but uh I'm just telling you

what what what what happens to me. It's

a I I think it's a monument that

communicates.

>> What did it say to you?

>> It said to me go further

very much so. I I I I feel

in a weird way validated by the Great

Pyramid. I think it's um not only me,

others as well who've devoted big chunks

of their lives to the great pyramid like

Robert Baval who is a great man by the

way. The Orion correlation, the

recognition that the three pyramids on

the ground are laid out in the pattern

of the belt stars of the constellation

of Orion makes radical and important

changes to our understanding of ancient

Egypt. Again, that's another thing

that's been leapt upon by the

archaeological mafia, uh, because they

want to destroy every new idea, uh,

rather than spend a bit of time thinking

about it.
