Archaeologists Discover What's Inside the Pyramid of Menkaure

There are over a hundred pyramids in Egypt, but a majority of them are in a dilapidated state. However, the three Great Pyramids of the Giza Plateau have best survived the test of time and received the maximum attention from tourists. The smallest of the great trio, the often-ignored Pyramid of Menkaure, is no doubt a literal mountain of priceless historical evidence.

But why is it so small compared to the other two pyramids? Was it left incomplete? Is there any other reason for its partially disrupted state? What is the story behind the great breach across its northern face? It is certainly a "diamond in the rough" that might not have managed to shine as brightly as its enigmatic giant neighbors but is no less a mystery that has brought up dozens of questions.

In today’s video we will have a look at what archaeologists discovered inside the Pyramid of Menkaure.

What Were Ancient Builders Fortifying Against? | How the Pre-Cataclysm World Was Strangely Different

When people imagine what the Earth was like in the distant past, they generally think about megalithic stone structures and the artifacts that have been uncovered. However, these creations of ancient civilizations existed in a world that was far different than the world we are familiar with. In order to comprehend why builders made their structures so large and well-fortified, it is necessary to understand the types of lifeforms that once existed, which ancient people would have needed to contend with and fortify against.

Moreover, so that we can understand why the diverse range of megafauna that once existed are now gone, researchers such as ourselves need to study how the Earth's atmosphere was drastically different in the distant past, and what unusual events occurred to cause these ancient species (and the lost societies that built such impressive stone buildings) to suddenly go extinct.
