ENTRAMOS EN LAS PIRÁMIDES DE EGIPTO!! | EGIPTO #11

Well, we just got here to the pyramids and it's super impressive this, oh sea, las You see it in all the movies, in the photographs and so on, but seeing it in person is incredible. These pyramids were built in the year... Yes, there is a camellon. In the year 2600 B.C. there are three pyramids created. There's the largest pyramid, which is the pyramid of Khufu, then there's the pyramid of Kefren and then La de Mikerinos, that's the last one we're going to visit. Well, we're going to enter now into the Pyramid of Cheops, which is the largest. Ten hundred, how much was it? One hundred and forty-six. 146 meters or so. It's the second tallest building in all of Cairo, after a telecommunications tower. It's in the center, it's 160 meters. But think of it as a 46-story building or something. Yes, we're in the interior, where the sarcophagus is, although nothing has been found. But here you are, no paint or anything, it's all rock. That's how you get in and out of the pyramid of Cheops. What's the matter? You want to go out? It's burning you, isn't it? Yes, how are you? Un calor bestial. It was a good idea. It's hotter here than outside. You have to climb up to enter the pyramid of Cheops, from the inside. These pyramids that are here, right next to the city of Cairo, are believed to be It's always in movies like this, that were made by slaves and it wasn't like this. It's really made by farmers, isn't it? Yes, in the time of the Nile's flood, or the months that are summer, June, July, Because the farmers were coming and... In fact for them it was an honor, or rather because it was a matter of faith and because for them it was a matter of faith. Pharaoh was the god on earth and as it was, at the end of the day the pyramids are tombs, Son Tombs to prepare for the eternal life, right? The one who came after the life here. And then the name that the pyramids bear because they are of that, of the pharaohs that were At the time, they were familiar, weren't they? The three of them. Yes, first was Cheops, then Kefren and then this little one we're going to see now. That's the Mikerinos and they were grandfather, father or grandson. Yes, and in fact it is said that that is why they are of different heights, from major to minor, keeping A little bit of the hierarchy. Others say that Mikerinos, which is the smallest pyramid because it is the difference It's the one from Kefren, the one from Cheops. You can't see it anymore because it's behind you. A difference of, I don't know, that was 10-20 meters or so between one and the other. The Keops were 146 meters, the Kefren 135 or so, or they were like 10 meters less or something. So you're 60. And it was so because they did a little, they said for the hierarchy, that they didn't want They were over each other and also said that Mikerinos because they had no money to build a pyramid so big, but nevertheless the base is of red granite. I don't know if I'd be for money. Yeah, and the blocks in general are quite better placed than those of the other pyramids. From here you see the pyramid of Kefren which is behind the pyramid of Cheops and looks like The Kefren is higher, but that's because it's on higher ground than the The de Keops. And curiously, or is this basically because as he said son tombs, or is all this It was simply made to house the sarcophagus of the Pharaoh when he died. There are also other theories as to why the Mikerinos is smaller, because When he came to power he was already of advanced age and it was thought that he would never reach I could see the pyramid if they made one as big as Cheops' or Kefren's. And here begins the Sahara in the easternmost part, one of the largest deserts The world's most famous without a doubt. But look here if you see the pyramids and here ya the city, or the pyramids really They're eaten by the city except for the land they're on, or sea is curious. If you look at the aerial image, the image is super curious of the city around the pyramids. It's also interesting to see that if you see in the side, on top of the pyramid of Kefren It's like a different color, it's like an extra layer. You have to see what material it was. No, I don't know what the material is, it was the coating I had. Yes, it had a coating on the pyramids and then in its origin the three pyramids They were totally covered with that material, so... No more stairs like the ones we have now. If you're close enough to see me. Yeah, it reflected the sun, so when it gave the sun, it reflected the whole sun. They looked like white and they must have been super cute. What happens is that now with the time the erosion, it was a very fragile material, Then with the erosion of all these thousands of years it has made them stay as they are now. But it's what draws a lot of attention to think how they would be then. Well, we're here in the famous Sphinx, which as you know has the body of a lion. You're a man and you represent the Pharaoh, right? A una cualidad. It is a quality. Well, yes, the power that the Pharaoh has. Because the lion was the animal that represented power, so they chose him. And the brain, which is intelligence, they put on the head of the Pharaoh. It is said that this represents Kefrem because it is in front of his pyramid, But we don't know why the cartridge that indicated the Pharaoh was lost. So it can be anyone really. There are many sphinxes in Egypt, but this is the biggest of them all. I think it's about 13 or 15 meters high. I think there were 17. Yeah, that's right, 17 inches high and 27 inches wide. And as you know, he lacks the nose, although he also lacks the chin. Some of the theories said it was Napoleon bombing the area, But Napoleon had a great respect for all that was Egyptian art. And for everything that it represented. And then most likely it was due to erosion. He found a piece of his nose. Ah, yes, it is in the London Museum, isn't it? The British Museum, yes. That in fact Egypt asked him to bring his nose so he could stick it to the Sphinx, But the British government says that if people want to see the complete Sphinx with the nose, It's easier to take the Sphinx to England. And get her there before they bring her nose in here. No one knows for sure how the pyramids were built, But the most plausible theory is that, as I mentioned in the temple of Karnak, They were mounted like little mountains of adobe that they were making up to the height of a worker. Iban was putting all the stones there until then and when they were over they were putting them like wooden carts to drag the blocks and afterwards they kept increasing the size of the mountain And then to raise the levels. They're circling us here.
