The sheer size of this 450-ton stone block at the Giza Plateau is mind-boggling! It's a marvel of ancient engineering and craftsmanship. To think that such a massive stone was moved and placed with the technology of the time really challenges our understanding of the past. What are your thoughts on how this enormous block could have been transported and set into place?

I'm a crane operator & mate I'll tell you that you'd need a bigger crane than a LTM1400. As much as the machine works in shaping the stones fascinates you, the transport and lifting fascinates me. I've worked in heavy shift n lift for years and the gear needed for a 1000t is colossal

Ben we love how you never compromise on a video. When you put one out, it's above 30 minutes and has amazing detail and accuracy to your standards. Thanks ben.

One of the most surreal moments in my life was standing in the kings chamber of the Great Pyramid. The workmanship and sheer scale of it all is breathtaking, the whole place has an "air" about it that I've never felt anywhere else.

When you're quarrying, cutting and transporting stones in the 1 million kg+ range, you are effectively displaying that your capabilities are beyond comprehension. Great work again. Keep it up Ben. 👍🇭🇲

It's time to accept that very advanced civilizations existed before the Younger Dryas event. Cataclysms like that would also send what little would remain of our civilization back to the caves.

What always gets me is that the stones we're looking at were even bigger when they were moved into place. The final shaping and smoothing took place on-site. As large as they are now, the work done to place them was reductive. The original piece was even larger and heavier. This is seen over and over again. It never fails to boggle my mind since I have no explanation. I like seeing so much video from our tour. Seeing the people my wife and I took this adventure with is fun. It's like meeting old friends.

I work as a Landscaper, and the amount of time and effort it takes to move boulders/pavers/stone in the 100+ kg range is ridiculous. Working in the 100+ TON range is unfathomable.. Especially without machinery, or even ropes/metal capable of lifting/levering such weights.

Amazing presentation. That Yusef is still finding surprises illustrates the depth of the mystery. A thought experiment (rather than question): If Giza had no "narrative" How many ages/epoch does your intuition tell you are represented by the erosion patterns?

This made my day! Was JUST thinking "Man, when is Ben gonna come out with a new video?", I hit the YouTube "home" button and BOOM, brand new video from Uncharted-X. Thanks Ben, this is beyond entertainment and curiosity at this point, you've demonstrated that there are VERY BIG questions that are going unanswered, and your digging up amazing clues that could lead to an answer. You're basically crowd-sourcing archaeological mysteries, and the collective of minds who watch and talk about these clues you dig up are bringing results. Excellent work

I am a civil engineer with more than a decade experience of constructing infrastructures in Australia and I am loosing sleep over how they build this.

The heaviest object ever transported in modern times is often considered to be the Troll A platform, a natural gas platform in the North Sea. This platform has a total weight of around 1.2 million tons, including its concrete base. It was towed from Norway to its current location in the North Sea in 1996. The engineering feat required for such a move was monumental, showcasing the capabilities of modern transportation and structural engineering techniques.

Unbelievable. Those granite casing stones are insane dude. Well done, another incredible video Ben, cheers!

Absolutely bloody fascinating, as always! Thank you. How anyone can suggest these things were made in the Old Kingdom (or whenever) with just stone/copper tools, is beyond me! Clearly more ancient, made with some lost technologies.

Tens of thousands of years old.

The 'mortuary' temple is so fascinating, it's clearly a contemporary of the Sphinx, the causeway and the middle pyramid. Together these structures are thousands of years older than the 4th dynasty. Hancock & others suggestion of 11,000 - 12,000 seems about right given the sever erosion

There's few channels these days that truly excite me when a new 45+ minute video is posted.

The detail gives me a kind of child like sense of awe and the mystery behind the construction, use and age of these megaliths. What I love the most is no-one knows anything except that they are here as evidence

The groundworks needed to do before any blocks is laid is off the charts..
