Great video thanks for posting.
The last 3 minutes im coming to agree with. Maybe the work underground with all the pyramids were done by an earlier civilisation? The Egyptian kings find the granite boxes and use them as tombs. Then construct a pyramid above them.
The Egyptians painted and had hieroglyphics in their burial sites. But none here or at the bent pyramid or others.
It is puzzling how the granite "tombs" were made and gotten into place.
Its puzzling why there are pyramids in place, which seem to have an outer pyramid over an older one?

No that wouldnt make sense if you think about it. Be like finding a mine and deciding to build a walmart because you wanted to use it as a basement. The Egyptians were very good at moving stones my bet would be flood the tomb and float it in. With the egyptians everything in their life involved the nile. Heres how they moved the stones.

Thanks for the link, but that article doesn't explain how they moved the blocks during construction. I know you say Archimedes principal is the answer but to me, that idea wouldnt work for the placing of the blocks into final position. Does it work at the angle required to get the blocks up the pyramid? I dont think so, not at those angles anyhow

Not the way Petrie entered shaft was to small. Thats why he suspected there was another entrance and he was right there was. they kind of glossed over that small detail.
As to how to float a one ton stone for example you use Archimedes Principle. You take the stone density over water guessing somewhere between 6 to 8 times more dense then water. This means you need to displace somewhere between 1/6 to 1/8 of a ton to get it to float. This is done by expanding surface area. Now you really would not even need to float it just lighten the load using boyancy.
The entrance way to the temple was built in such a way that on two days of the year, October 22 and February 22, sunlight shines into the inner sanctuary and lights up three statues seated on a bench, including one of the pharaoh.
