if anyone wants to see a REALLY, REALLY bad failure, google
The Maydum Pyramid , sometimes called the “Collapsed Pyramid of Maydum” :shock:
If you google photos of it you will see hundreds of tons of crushed stones surrounding the base of the Maydum Pyramid.
This one ?
I just recalled that Muddy is correct about erosion on one pyramid in particular. Namely, the “Step Pyramid of Djoser” at Saqqara.
That pyramid differs in that it is made of mud brick and not stone.
I have walked all around that site and examined every bit I was allowed to touch. I wanted to go down deep inside but I was not permitted. Heck, I even tried to bribe my way inside. No go.
There are dozens of proofs that Egyptians built the pyramids. Two example: archeologists have found wooden mallets and copper tools inside the pyramids. Not likely that aliens would have used wooden mallets and copper tools.
Also, we can see the quarries where the stones came from. Upon examination, we can clearly see the gouges made by those copper and stone tools.
At Aswan, where all of the granite came from, we can see the "unfinished obelisk ". All around it we see gouges made by hand pounding round granite stones into the existing granite face.
When complete, it would have measured 42 meters in length and weighed 1,200 tons.
Hundreds of men toiled in the blazing sun month after month to release the obelisk from the granite hillside. Nearing the end of their backbreaking work, when it was almost released, it cracked. They left it and just walked away. 
Yep, muddy, that’s it. 
Re: The “air shafts”.
1st, they are shafts, but not air shafts. They are built to point at certain star clusters. However, the shafts never reach the surface of the pyramid. They stop well short and are blocked by layers of stone.
FYI: one of the shafts points directly toward the belt of Orion.
If you look at Orion’s belt you will see that it is ever so slightly offset (the star Mintaka does not line-up perfectly with the other 2 stars).
Now, look at the line-up of the 3 great Pyramids of Giza. they are off-set to exactly the same degree.
That does not indicate aliens, however. It merely indicates how great the Egyptians were at astronomy. (just like the Mayans)
Hi
The article in the Mail is somewhat misleading.
This is not a new discovery and neither does it relate to all the electromagnetic spectrum.
It relates to very low frequency radio waves, which are very low energy.
The frequencies they used are those used by the military to transmit signals to submerged submarines and and to broadcast time signals around the world.
Pyramid shapes are also in common use in recording studios and anechoic chambers.
There is no mystery to pyramids, or why so many cultures in different parts of the world built them.
Simple engineering, they are the easiest way of building a tall stable structure with minimum use of materials.
I would hardly say mimimum !
Most pyramids are massive and the quantities of material they use vast .
Hi
They use a lot less material than a square structure of the same height, are much more stable and the higher up you go the less material and effort you use.
I have also been to the step pyramid at Saqqara. It has to be one of the hottest places I have been to. Exhausting.
You likely went in the wrong month. I was there in March. Not remotely hot. Just a comfortable, though warm, experience.
I can’t remember tbh. I know a lot of people had travelled there only to sit in the shade and not actually venture out to the pyramid.
The pyramids are great .
Beating off the numerous importuning locals is not so great .
Yes very annoying. They all have an Uncle in Yorkshire for some reason.
How true. I often hired a driver and car to ferry me around. They all practically insist on taking you to a “Hieroglyphs Museum”. Fake stuff sold to stupid tourists. The drivers get “kickbacks”.
Finally, I had to put my foot down. I told each and every driver that if he took me to a “Hieroglyph Museum”, I would not pay him one cent.
I told them I am paying them to take me where I want to go, not to take me where he wants to go. Gotta be FIRM !
Bradford, no doubt!
The wife and I visited the Pyramids when we went to Cairo on a three-day excursion from Cyprus. The larger of the three pyramids was closed but I was allowed to go into the next one in the series. Entry was by a steep shaft around five-feet high and so had to stoop low to get to the bottom and into a chamber. The blocks inside the chamber were so well made that there wasn’t a single gap between any of them - excellent engineering and craftsmanship.
A bit of a laugh. There was an Egyptian in the chamber holding up a lamp and silently pointing to different parts of the chamber then held his cupped hand out for a tip. 
So very true. We were harangued by beggars and the locals constantly, at one point having our tour coach being chased by men on camels. At the Sphinx, they were locals stuffing things in our pockets as we walked round and because they gave us something, expected something in return.
Won’t be going back any time soon, if ever.
Hopefully, you didn’t happen to have any loose change! 
we had a similar thing in one of the temples.
‘Come, I show you bat’.
Three paces and a pointing finger later and he wants a tip
