At A Distance Of 200 Km From Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza,
There Is An Area Close To The Shores Of The Red Sea Which Is Called Wadi Al-jar.
You Could Only See Mountains And Mounds Of Barren Limestone, Far And Wide.
But There Is Also Such A Secret Spot
Some Such Secrets Are Hidden, Which Were Buried 4500 Years Ago.
Yes, In This Deserted Place, There Is A Limestone Mound In The Middle Of The Desert.
It Looks Like An Ordinary Mound When Viewed From Above,
But Many Tunnels Were Made By Cutting Stones Inside It
And These Tunnels Were Blocked With The Help Of Stones Weighing Thousands Of Tons.
45 Centuries Ago, The Ancient Egyptians Had Hidden Something Here
That They Did Not Want To Bring To The World.
But When The Stones Were Removed From The Front Of These Tunnels For The First Time,
The Scene Inside Shook The Whole World.
Welcome Back Again To Zen, TV, and Videos.
Viewers, The Magnificent Pyramids Of Egypt, And Every Patch Of This Land
It, Is Filled With Fascinating Mysteries.
Although 118 Pyramids Have Been Found All Over Egypt So Far,
But It Is Believed That Many Pyramids Are Still Hidden Under Sand Dunes In Egypt
And The African Desert.
At Present, The Largest Of The Pyramids That Exist In The World,
It Can Be Found In The Egyptian City Of Cairo.
Which Is Called The Pyramid Of Khufu.
This 480-feet High Pyramid Was Built By Egyptian King Khufu.
Whereas Next To It,
This 450 Feet High Pyramid Was Built By King Chafe,
Son Of King Khufu During His Reign.
Surprisingly, 2.5 Million Square And Rectangular Blocks Of Limestone Were Used
To Make Each Pyramid.
And The Weight Of Each Block Is Said To Be 2500 Kg.
It Is The Same Weight As The Weight Of Two Hatchback Cars.
Carrying So Much Weight To A Height Of 480 Feet
And Keeping Each Block At The Perfect Angle Is A Task
That In Today's Era Can Take Many Years To Perform
Even With The Help Of Machinery.
So Imagine How This Work Would Have Been Done 45 Centuries Ago Without Machinery.
This Is Such A Mystery
That Has Kept The World Puzzled For The Last Many Hundreds Of Years.
The Place Where These Pyramids Are Built
It, Was Once A Flourishing City Of Ancient Egyptians.
But Then Due To Unknown Reasons,
This Entire Area Got Submerged Under Several Feet Of Sand.
In The Year 1798, When The French Military Leader Napoleon Came To Capture Egypt.
At that time, The Pyramid And The Sphinx Were Buried More Than Halfway Through The Sand.
Excavation Work Continued For The Next Hundred Years To Remove Sand.
And For The First Time In The 1980s, A Major Discovery Took Place Here.
Near The Pyramid Of Chafe,
The Skeleton Of The Workers Was Found Who Built Chafe, Pyramid.
After Inspecting Many Skeletons,
It Was Found That These People Were Not Slaves Because They Were Given Good Food
And Were Given Medical Treatment.
These Workers Were Buried Near The Pyramids As A Mark Of Respect
For Building Their King's Pyramids.
Unfortunately, After The Death Of King Khufu,
This Place Was At The Mercy Of Grave Robbers For Many Years.
For This Reason, Neither Any Papyrus I.e. A Written Document Was Found From Here Nor
Any Such Evidence Was Found, From Which It Can Be Concluded That
When And How These Pyramids Were Made.
Even Many Statues Of Other Egyptian Kings And Their Mummies Were Discovered.
But With Time, Neither Any Intact Statue Of King Khufu Is Left
Nor Did The Robbers Spare His Mummy.
Only A Finger-sized Statue Of King Khufu Was Found,
Which Is Kept In The Cairo Museum.
To Know The Egyptian King Khufu And His Life In Detail,
It Was Necessary That Investigations Were Done Outside Giza.
Archaeologists Found An Old Seaport On The Coast Of The Red Sea
At A Distance Of 200 Km From The Pyramid Site.
Which Was Suspected To Have Been Used During The Reign Of King Khufu.
This Broken Structure Found Near The Sea Was So Big That
Several Hundred People Could Live And Work Comfortably In It.
When This Area Was Thoroughly Inspected,
Boat Anchors Were Also Found From Inside The Sea.
In That Era, Anchors Made Of Stones Were Used
To Dock Big Boats By Tying Ropes Through Them.
Stone Anchors With Holes Were Found In Large Numbers,
This Proves That, 4500 Years Ago, It Used To Be A Seaport For Ancient Egyptians.
If This Was A Port,
Then Obviously The Boats (or Their Parts) That Used To Sail Here
Would Have Been Kept Somewhere Nearby.
And The Experts Were Looking For Those Boats Only.
After Many Years Of Hard Work,
Egyptologists Finally Found Several Tunnels Dug With Great Skill
Inside A Mound Of Limestone,
A Few Kilometers Away From The Port.
Whose Entrance Was Blocked With The Help Of Big Stones?
The Probability Was High That This Was The Place
Where Ancient Egyptians Used To Hide Their Boats From Robbers.
But The Archaeological Team Had No Idea At All That
From Here They Are Going To Get Some Special Evidence Even Greater Than The Boats.
When The Stones Were Removed From The Entrance Of These Tunnels,
The Scene Inside Was Something, Which No One Had Seen It For The Last 4,500 Years.
No Whole Boat Was Found In This
