Latest / Lost Civilizations: Ancient Aliens & Forgotten History / The Second Sphinx: Secrets Beneath Giza
Transcript
- 0:22Hello, it's Sunday and I'ts time for another podcast episode.
- 0:27But before we get started, just a quick disclaimer.
- 0:30I am probably going to pronounce quite a few names creatively, especially if we move beyond
- 0:36English.
- 0:36I promise I will try but feel free to use your imagination and forgive me in advance.
- 0:42The correct spellings and pronunciations is of course in the transcript if you want the
- 0:47accurate version.
- 0:49This channel is a hobby project driven by curiosity and a general interest in the topics
- 0:54I explore.
- 0:55I use my own voice and my own words to create independent analysis and commentary based
- 1:02on research from various sources, including publicly available videos and materials on
- 1:09YouTube.
- 1:10The purpose is not to copy other creators' content, but to discuss, analyze and provide
- 1:15perspective on topics on my own way.
- 1:20So today we are going to revisit Amanda May, Philippe Bondy and the lost civilization between
- 1:26the Giza Plateau and the reason is simple, that another Sphinx is apparently there.
- 1:34So for thousands of years, the pyramids on the Giza Plateau has stared over the desert
- 1:40like silent witnesses to a distant past.
- 1:44The official history books tells us that they were built around 4500 years ago by the
- 1:50pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Mikur, tombs raised with the sweat and ingenuity of massive stonecutters.
- 1:59But what if the story is nothing but a myth?
- 2:03What if the pyramids is far older, built by a previously unknown civilization and conceal
- 2:09a message encoded in mathematics, geometry and the stars?
- 2:14Today we will meet two central figures behind the Khafre research project.
- 2:20The Italian-Egyptialist Amanda May, with his theory of Zetepi and the original alignment
- 2:28of the Giza Plateau, has challenged the entire establishment's history and the radar engineer
- 2:35Filippo Bondy, the man behind the groundbreaking Doppler tomography that has revealed enormous
- 2:42underground structures and now, according to him, with 100% certainty, a completely different
- 2:50Sphinx.
- 2:52We trace the project from those first fumbling scans dismissed as noise to the concrete plans
- 3:00to clean the shafts and to excavate the second Sphinx.
- 3:03We hear the researchers' own words and finally we turn our gaze towards traditional
- 3:12Egyptology and ask, what does the establishment actually make of this?
- 3:17Welcome to a journey into the world of the Khafre project.
- 3:24First let's meet the man, who is Amanda May.
- 3:28Amanda May described himself as a journalist, an Egyptologist and an author, but not the
- 3:35kind that you will meet in a university's lecture halls.
- 3:39He often stressed that he is specifically not an academic Egyptologist, as he put it.
- 3:48I am not an archaeologist, luckily, because then I would be standing here telling you
- 3:54that the pyramids are tombs, that the king lists are historical, and that the theory
- 4:00in papyrus has no relevance.
- 4:03Instead, I had the mental freedom to approach the subject from a different point of view.
- 4:10His passion for the ancient Egypt was ignited in childhood, as he recounted in several interviews.
- 4:18When I was in elementary school, I saw a photo of the great pyramids of Giza for the first
- 4:24time.
- 4:25It sparked a love that never faded.
- 4:28At 14, I read my first book of the ancient Egypt by Alan Gardner, and I never put down
- 4:34the subject since.
- 4:38May has published a trilogy of books, the first one, 36,400, The Secrets of the Gods,
- 4:47The Pyramids and the Secrets of the 137, and lastly, The Key of Time.
- 4:55In them, he unfolds his theory about the pyramids that were built around 36,400 BCE, nearly
- 5:0438,000 years older than we are taught in school.
- 5:08He relocated to Cairo to be closer to the research, and is known for a fearless voice
- 5:15challenging the power structures behind the official version of the history.
- 5:21Since September 2022, May has been a part of the CAFRA Research Project, an interdisciplinary
- 5:29group founded by the chemistry professor Malanka and the radar engineer Felipe Bondi.
- 5:36The project combines experimental archaeology with advanced satellite radar technology to
- 5:42scan both the interiors of the pyramids and the depth beneath the Giza Plateau.
- 5:48May is the project's historian and archaeology consultant.
- 5:57Before we dive into the discoveries, we need to meet the man whose brilliant technique made
- 6:03it all possible, Felipe Bondi, Chilean communications engineer and one of the world's leading experts
- 6:09in synthetic aperture radar.
- 6:13In a conversation in the Cosmic Text podcast in April 2025, Bondi explained how his technique
- 6:22is working.
- 6:23It didn't begin with the pyramid at all, it was born from a strategy.
- 6:32In 2015-2016, I developed a method to measure micro-vibrations from the Earth's surface
- 6:40using synthetic aperture radar.
- 6:42It was originally intended to monitor large infrastructures, especially bridges.
- 6:48At that time, the Miranda Bridge in Guinea collapsed during a storm and 43 people died.
- 6:56I wanted to make sure nothing like this will ever happen again.
- 7:00The method could automatically detect micro-cracks, cracks that are normally harmless but can grow
- 7:07and lead to disaster.
- 7:12So, the technique was conceived as a humanitarian tool, but then Bondi met with Professor Corrado
- 7:20Malanca, and the two of them started thinking, if we can measure vibrations on bridges,
- 7:27can we measure vibrations in the pyramids?
- 7:33We decided in 2019 to point the technique at the pyramid at Cofru, and it worked.
- 7:42What follows, however, was not a smooth triumph.
- 7:47When the first scans at the pyramids at Cofru showed strange structures extending deep underground,
- 7:54Biondi thought that it was a glitch.
- 7:59Malanca asked me, Philippe, what is that?
- 8:01And I said, I don't know, probably just noise.
- 8:05The first day, the first week, the first month, I said, noise.
- 8:11But we changed radar angles.
- 8:13We used different satellite images.
- 8:16We changed everything, and the same structures keep appearing.
- 8:20After two months, we had to admit, it was no noise, noise is random.
- 8:26This repeats with precision every time.
- 8:34That was Biondi's personal eureka moment.
- 8:39And what he and his team had found was nothing less than eight enormous cylindrical shafts
- 8:45beneath the pyramids at Cofru, along with two gigantic cube chambers about 80 meters
- 8:54on a side, and below them, even deeper structures down to 1.2 kilometers beneath the surface.
- 9:01That is around 0.8 mile, if I calculate correctly in my head.
- 9:10So how can a radar locate in the outer space, 600 kilometers out of space,
- 9:21see several kilometers into the ground,
- 9:25when every physicist knows that electromagnetic waves can't penetrate Earth?
- 9:32The answer lies in sound, or more precisely, vibration.
- 9:36Biondi explained the principle in this way.
- 9:40The radar transmits electromagnetic pulses toward the Earth's surface.
- 9:46When hit by a small portion, the energy will be converted into heat and sound.
- 9:53That is what we call phonons, mechanical vibrations.
- 9:58These vibrations travel down into the surface, reflect off voids and dense structures,
- 10:05and return to the surface, where they can be registered as tiny movements
- 10:11on the order of a hundredth of a millimeter.
- 10:15By analyzing these movements, pixel by pixel, we can reconstruct a 3D image of the subsurface.
- 10:24It is like a record player reading the grooves on a vinyl record just from space.
- 10:33It is this combination of electromagnetic and acoustic data that makes it possible.
- 10:39Biondi called it a space sonar, and he emphasized that the method has been validated step by step,
- 10:46first in a lab with a pizza doughnut ball, a computer and a vibration table,
- 10:50as he says with a smile in one of the interviews,
- 10:53then on a mountain tunnels in Nevada, and in Italy's Gran Sasso, and the Musel Dam in Iraq.
- 11:01On a highway bridge, and finally on the Osiris shaft at Giza.
- 11:07Those known dimensions match the tomography exactly.
- 11:13Only then did the team tackle with the unknown structures beneath the pyramids.
- 11:23Amanda May's fundamental claim is that the pyramids were not built by the pharaohs of the 4th dynasty.
- 11:31He presents a long list of arguments.
- 11:36He says first, no mummies, no graves, no hieroglyphs.
- 11:40He points out that not a single mummy has ever been found in any of the three great pyramids.
- 11:47When explorers broke into the chambers in the 19th century, they were utterly empty.
- 11:53Even traces of grave robbers, pot shards, smashed objects are completely missing, as May sardonically says.
- 12:04It seems that the thieves also swept the floor before they left.
- 12:11Add to that the total absence of a hieroglyph on the walls inside the pyramids.
- 12:16In every other Egyptian tomb, from the old kingdom to the new,
- 12:21the walls are decorated with prayers, spells, and the king's name.
- 12:26But inside the pyramid, nothing.
- 12:29Academics claim that during the old kingdom, it was not customary to decorate burial chambers.
- 12:35But May points out that the tombs all the way back to the 2nd dynasty have no inscriptions.
- 12:46Second, he says that the tool could never have built the pyramids.
- 12:50The tools that the Egyptologists used are displayed in museums.
- 12:56That is, to put it bluntly, copper scissors, wooden hammers, stone wedges.
- 13:02May often holds a picture of these primitive implements
- 13:05and compares them with a 70-ton granite block in the king's chamber.
- 13:16They want us to believe that they got granite blocks out of the quarry wall
- 13:22at Aswan, 900 kilometers from Giza,
- 13:25by pounding the wooden wedges into the cracks and pouring water on them
- 13:30so the wood would expand and split the stone.
- 13:34Try picturing moving a 70-ton block across the desert after that.
- 13:43Then there is the Carthus forgery.
- 13:46One of the few proofs that Carthus built the Great Pyramid
- 13:54is the Carthus bearing his name
- 13:57that the English colonel Howard Wise claimed to have found in 1837
- 14:02in one of the most revealing chambers above the king's chamber.
- 14:09May cites the widespread suspicion.
- 14:16Every independent researcher who has seen the Carthus
- 14:19says that the inscription is incorrect.
- 14:22It contains spelling errors a genuine scribe would never have made.
- 14:28The most suspicious thing is that it was found in a chamber nobody has visited before
- 14:34just when Wise desperately needed to justify his costly expedition.
- 14:40The authorities still refuse let independent researchers examine the Carthus
- 14:45and for me, that is the final proof of the forgery.
- 14:52Then there is the Diary of Mir and the Horizon of Corfu.
- 14:56In 2013, a collection of papyrus was found at the Wadi Al-Jar
- 15:02including the Diary of the Mir, a technical document
- 15:06which is an official note, the transport of limestone blocks
- 15:11from the Tura Gorges to Giza.
- 15:16Egyptologists interpret this as evidence that the Great Pyramid
- 15:19was under construction at Corfu in his 27th regal year
- 15:26because the site is called Akhid Kofru, the Horizon of Kofru
- 15:32and they think Akhid means pyramid.
- 15:37May flatly reject this.
- 15:42Akhid means horizon, not pyramid.
- 15:46It's a geographic location.
- 15:49If Mir, who is writing a technical report, wanted to refer to a building
- 15:54he would use the word Mir, the Egyptian word for pyramid
- 16:00or pyrimath, which means the house that rises up
- 16:05but those words don't appear anywhere in the text.
- 16:09Instead he uses a hieroglyph with two hills and a sun disk between them.
- 16:15Exactly the view you will get if you stand at the Sphinx
- 16:18and see the sun settling between the pyramids of Kofru and Kofu.
- 16:26Then there is the water erosion on the pyramid blocks.
- 16:30On the northern face of the Great Pyramid there are a few limestone blocks
- 16:34that could be traces of severe water erosion
- 16:38while the surrounding blocks are unaffected, may say.
- 16:45These blocks were exposed to heavy rain and flooding
- 16:48but probably long before the pyramid was built
- 16:51the erosion must have occurred before the desertification
- 16:56of around 9000 BCE.
- 17:02Another hint that the moment is far older than the dynamic period.
- 17:15If the pyramids are older than the pharaohs, when were they built and by whom?
- 17:21Here we reach to the core of Amanda May's theory, said Tebbe for the first time.
- 17:26The age of the gods and the demigods
- 17:31and an astronomical alignment that places their construction
- 17:35precisely at the year 36,400 BCE.
- 17:43In 1993 Robert Bival published his famous Orion Correlation theory
- 17:51The three pyramids in the mirror of the stars on the Orion belt
- 17:55and the Sphinx is directed toward the constellation Leo at the spring equinox.
- 18:01Bival dated this to 10,500 BCE, the most recent astrological age of Leo.
- 18:10May acknowledged Bival's genius but believes he made some mistakes.
- 18:15First, the smallest pyramid, Menkua,
- 18:19corresponds with the smallest bell star, Mintaka,
- 18:22which Bival's time frame stood at the meridian
- 18:26while the large Alnitak would be linked to the Khufu
- 18:32that was shifted to the southeast.
- 18:37May says,
- 18:40If the pyramid builders were so precise in anything else
- 18:43they would never made such an error.
- 18:47The Great Pyramid would correspond to Alnitak, the great star
- 18:52and it would stand at the meridian.
- 18:59Second, Bival's sky map Sirius, the brightest star
- 19:03and scarce to the goddess Isis,
- 19:05is below the horizon and invisible from Giza.
- 19:09May finds this unlikely that the builders would omit Isis.
- 19:2136,400 is the right time.
- 19:25May moved the celestial clock back to the previous pre-decisional circle
- 19:30around 36,400 BCE.
- 19:34Here everything fells in place.
- 19:37Alnitak stands exactly on the meridian above the Great Pyramid.
- 19:43The entire Orion constellation tilts precisely the same way as the pyramids.
- 19:48The thing still faces Leo's head
- 19:51and most importantly Sirius is now risen above the horizon
- 19:55and is visible to the southeast.
- 19:59May also discovered that the previous overlooked structure
- 20:02a so-called mastaba of green concaves
- 20:08matches Sirius perfectly.
- 20:10The mastaba sits on a cave rich southeast of the pyramids.
- 20:16Its lower part is cut into the rocks
- 20:19in a spiral shape remnant of the Sirius orbit.
- 20:24And the angular position of the mastaba
- 20:26matches Sirius' azimuth at 36,400 BCE precisely.
- 20:33At 67.39 degrees relatively to east
- 20:39versus the star is 67.58 degrees.
- 20:52Armistice dimensions on the lower part in the royal cubits
- 20:56and compared with the Sirius physical parameters
- 21:00converted via universal constants phi and phi.
- 21:05The results were striking.
- 21:07The builders proportionally constructed the mastaba
- 21:10so that the mirrors of the star dimension
- 21:18Then there is the temple and the planets.
- 21:21East of the things are two temples
- 21:24the things temple and the valley temple
- 21:26as well as the foundation of a third.
- 21:30In the sky map of 36,400 BCE
- 21:34the planets Mercury and Jupiter
- 21:36stands close to the star Regulus in Leo.
- 21:39The temples dimension match the planets physical data
- 21:43with the help of metaphysical constants.
- 21:46The third temple rotated relative to the others
- 21:50forms an ellipse with the things
- 21:55that exactly depicts an epic plane at that time.
- 22:04The builders signed the entire plateau
- 22:06from east to west as a gigantic astronomical clock.
- 22:13Then there is the water table
- 22:14and the constellation of Aquarius.
- 22:17On the west on the opposite end of the plateau
- 22:21lies a tomb called NC2 or the tomb of the birth.
- 22:25It contains natural and artificial passages
- 22:28that stretch towards the underworld
- 22:31with traces of salt water and sodium crystals on the wall.
- 22:36In the 1920s German and American geologists
- 22:38found evidence of an ancient river the Urnil
- 22:43that flow from the Mediterranean
- 22:46through the Libyan desert and passed close to Giza.
- 22:50The sky map shows the constellation Aquarius
- 22:53standing precisely in the west
- 22:57almost below the horizon opposite Leo
- 23:00and its counterparts on the ground
- 23:03are the tomb of the birth.
- 23:05May concludes.
- 23:09As above so below.
- 23:11The entire constellation sphere was reproduced
- 23:14at Giza Plateau 36,400 GbE
- 23:18to the date of Set-Tabi.
- 23:27Then there is the hidden knowledge
- 23:28in the numbers 137, 4, 4, 432
- 23:34and the four prime numbers.
- 23:37For me these numbers are the key
- 23:39to understanding the pyramid methods.
- 23:43By factoring the pyramids' dimensions
- 23:46May found that they can be derived
- 23:49from the first four prime numbers
- 23:51which is 3, 5, 7 and 11.
- 23:5511 is the base constant for all three pyramids
- 24:00while the height varies.
- 24:09If pyramid structures were built around
- 24:12the first prime numbers
- 24:13the builders left a message that can be read
- 24:16everywhere in the universe
- 24:18because prime numbers are the same everywhere.
- 24:24In the Pyramid of Khafre
- 24:25the factor analysis yielded the number 137
- 24:30the fine structure constant in physics
- 24:33which links the strength
- 24:34of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics
- 24:38and relative theory.
- 24:42137 is the magic number in the universe
- 24:45and that was encoded in the pyramid.
- 24:51137 also has an egyptologic meaning.
- 24:57The entrance to the divine house of life
- 25:00associated with the god Toth
- 25:02May and the Khafre team
- 25:06interpreted as a direct invitation
- 25:09to investigate the pyramids
- 25:11of the Khafre more closely.
- 25:16When applying his mathematical model
- 25:19to the valley temple
- 25:20May found that the number 432
- 25:23well known vibration frequency
- 25:27that many historic tradition
- 25:29is associated with the fundamental tone of the universe.
- 25:34One evening while playing
- 25:36with the lines on a satellite photo
- 25:37May draw some lines from the bases of the pyramids
- 25:41out towards the queen's pyramids.
- 25:44The pattern resembled cuneiform
- 25:46he found that each pyramid
- 25:49corresponded to a letter combination
- 25:52that is from the word Gal-Sutoi
- 25:56Gal means great
- 25:59Su means wise man
- 26:02and Toi is Toth's name
- 26:05in the egyptian book of the death.
- 26:08The wise man Toth
- 26:09I believe that is Toth
- 26:12and all the civilization he represent
- 26:15signed by the Giza plateau
- 26:17with this hidden text.
- 26:23Amanda May reject the idea of the egyptians
- 26:25that they are religious fantasy.
- 26:39In chapter 15 in the book of the death
- 26:42that describes a terrible war
- 26:45between Horus and Seth
- 26:46a battle over Heriopolis
- 26:48driven by a fight that is called the axis of Horus
- 26:52May notes that the egyptian word
- 26:55can also mean shaft or pillar
- 27:00Imagine a war so brutal
- 27:02that is about to conquer something underground
- 27:05that sounds absurd
- 27:07if they were just obelisk
- 27:11but if they were gigantic cylinders
- 27:14we now see beneath the pyramids of the Khafre
- 27:17it suddenly makes sense
- 27:20In the text Seth followers are called Sibau
- 27:26normally described of being with a dark head
- 27:29May linked the word
- 27:32to the baboon species
- 27:35Papua Sinusalos
- 27:39whose schools
- 27:41are bearing striking similarities
- 27:44to the one of a Neanderthal
- 27:48Neanderthals were extinct around
- 27:5140,000 years ago
- 27:54right around the time of the battle
- 27:56is said to have taken place
- 27:58I believe Sibau were the Neanderthals
- 28:01whom Seth had an ally with
- 28:04The myth is a distorted historical account
- 28:09of a species war
- 28:13May underscores that according to the book of the death
- 28:17it is not the first time of a rises
- 28:21it begins with the night rises
- 28:24transfer his powers to his son Horus
- 28:27that is the age of the demigods
- 28:34perhaps the Khafre project's most sensational claim
- 28:37is that beneath Giza
- 28:39lies an entire network of tunnels and chambers
- 28:42the city of Amniti
- 28:46mentioned in the myth
- 28:48May references earlier discoveries
- 28:51by Selim Hassan who exposed the underground
- 28:54passage in the 1930s
- 28:56and to Hakim Rahman
- 28:57whose son reportedly got lost in the tunnels
- 29:02and emerged 40 km away in Saqqara
- 29:05Using the Beyond the Protocol
- 29:07the team has now identified hundreds of shafts
- 29:10in the plateau, many were blocked by rubble
- 29:14One particular shaft in the northeast corner
- 29:17between the Sphinx and the pyramids appears to be unblocked
- 29:21and may provide a direct access to the network
- 29:24May says
- 29:28It is just a matter of cleaning out that shaft
- 29:31and we can go down there and see Amniti
- 29:34with our own eyes
- 29:35And now we come to the discovery that has sent shockwaves
- 29:46through the entire alternative research community
- 29:49and which, according to Filippo Bondi
- 29:52is so certain that he puts the probability
- 29:56to 100%
- 29:58For decades, researchers like Robert Vival
- 30:01have speculated around if there might be
- 30:04a second Sphinx at the Gizel Plateau
- 30:07Partly because the tomb of Tutmus III
- 30:11shows two Sphinxes
- 30:13and because Egyptian dualism
- 30:16seems to demand a counterpart
- 30:18but no one has found traces of it until now
- 30:22Bondi says
- 30:24he was contacted by Italian researcher
- 30:28Damiano Pierce
- 30:29who believes that a particular low mouth
- 30:33west of the pyramids might hide something
- 30:36The mouth is about 15 m high
- 30:38but according to Bondi
- 30:4080% of it consists of debris
- 30:43that archaeologists have dumped there since the 1980s
- 30:53We did the first scans
- 30:54Beneath the mouth we found 3 shafts
- 30:57that match the shaft that we have already measured
- 31:00under the first Sphinx
- 31:01But it still causes
- 31:04on Matt Bell's podcast
- 31:09about 80% probability
- 31:13But then something changed
- 31:16The team keep refining the images
- 31:20After the podcast
- 31:21we got more computing power
- 31:23improved the software
- 31:24processed new images
- 31:26and suddenly we could see it
- 31:28a head, a body, legs
- 31:30we could see everything detailed
- 31:32like the tools on the path
- 31:34I went from 80% to 100% certainty
- 31:39there is a second Sphinx under that mouth
- 31:46Most strikingly is that
- 31:48according to Bondi
- 31:49the head of the second Sphinx does not resemble the first
- 31:54The head is different
- 31:55the legs are intact
- 31:58on the first Sphinx they were reconstructed
- 32:02Here we can see them as they originally were
- 32:07And to those skeptics
- 32:10who have shown aerial photos from 1915
- 32:14with no mouth
- 32:16and claim that therefore there cannot be a Sphinx
- 32:19Bondi responds bluntly
- 32:24The mud and the Sphinx are not connected
- 32:26The mud is a rubble dumped on the top later
- 32:30The Sphinx lies underneath
- 32:34The discovery prompts Bondi to reflect on his life works
- 32:37My goal isn't to gain anything from myself
- 32:41I have my life, my work, my family
- 32:43I'm doing this for humanity
- 32:46so we better can understand our audience for free
- 32:58On the 21st of June
- 33:00just a few weeks from now
- 33:01the CAFRA team will gather in Bologna
- 33:05in Italy for a conference
- 33:07that looks to be one of the most pivotal events
- 33:11in the alternative archaeology
- 33:15They will present the final results
- 33:17of all Doppler tomographies at the Giza Plateau
- 33:20The final shape of everything
- 33:22The audience will see 3D visualizations
- 33:26on both the known momentums
- 33:28and the underground structures
- 33:30after the details of the second Sphinx will be laid out
- 33:34But Bologna is more than a presentation
- 33:38It will launch a physical excavation
- 33:48During the conference
- 33:50we will submit a project proposal to the Egyptian authorities
- 33:54We will propose cleaning out the blocked shaft
- 33:57between the first Sphinx and the pyramids of CAFRA
- 34:00so we can gain access to the underground network
- 34:04And then we will apply
- 34:06for permission to excavate the second Sphinx
- 34:09to physically dig it
- 34:11so the whole world can see it
- 34:16The project is no longer just a private effort
- 34:20Bjarne mentions that the team
- 34:22collaborating with the University at Ferrer
- 34:24and that Italy's National Institute for Experimental Geophysics
- 34:29and Oceanography
- 34:30will participate in site measurements
- 34:34seismic reflections
- 34:36ground penetrating radar
- 34:38and electrical tomography
- 34:41to validate the Doppler technique
- 34:43and to confirm the findings
- 34:45We have three independent measurement techniques
- 34:51that confirm each other
- 34:53Once that's done
- 34:55we can finally publish our peer-reviewed papers
- 34:58on everything we found
- 35:05Amanda May and Filippo Bondi
- 35:08have not gone unnoticed
- 35:09Reactions have ranged from enthusiasm
- 35:11to outright personal attacks
- 35:13French media has been particularly critical
- 35:17which may explain that nothing
- 35:20that France has billions invested
- 35:26in the ScanPyramids project
- 35:28which uses moon particles
- 35:32a technology now in risk of being overtaken
- 35:37We have Sahih Havas
- 35:40Egypt's former Minister for Antiquities
- 35:44cancelled his appearance
- 35:46in a conference in Dubai
- 35:47when he heard that May and Bondi would also be there
- 35:51Meanwhile, podcast host Matt Bell
- 35:54gave Bondi's technique
- 35:561% chance of being correct
- 36:00Bondi responded calmly
- 36:05I respect him
- 36:06he invited me into his podcast
- 36:08and I answered all his questions
- 36:10but why didn't he say it directly to me
- 36:14why did he have to wait until the next day
- 36:17on Twitter
- 36:17Anyway, I'm still here
- 36:19I have nothing to hide
- 36:24Amanda May faced threats in Cairo
- 36:27He experienced the local mafia figures
- 36:30warning him not to leave his house
- 36:31In the spring of 2025
- 36:34he formally left the CAFRA project
- 36:36primarily because of new research projects
- 36:39in Latin America and the Pacific were calling
- 36:42Both he and Malanka
- 36:44stressed that it was a mutual claim decision
- 36:47and the collaboration continues in another form
- 36:55Okay
- 36:56Then let's finally turn our gaze
- 37:01towards the mainstream Egyptology
- 37:03and hear what they respond to these alternative theories
- 37:06As usual, I have them in groups
- 37:09The first one will be
- 37:11that the pyramids are tombs
- 37:15Egyptology points out that
- 37:17on the time of the three great pyramids
- 37:21a part of an architectural evolution
- 37:23from the older Mastaba tombs
- 37:25and that sacrifice has been found
- 37:30in them all right empty
- 37:33The absence of mummy is due to
- 37:35grave robbing in later pyramids
- 37:39texts confirm the functions as tombs
- 37:42They also insist that the tools were sufficient
- 37:47Granite can be cut using sand and mortar
- 37:49Remains of ramps have been found
- 37:52and experimental archaeology has shown
- 37:54it was technology feasible
- 37:57with the means at the time
- 37:59The cartouches are genuine
- 38:02Most Egyptologists consider wise cartouches authentic
- 38:07The spelling errors can be explained
- 38:09with the fact that the workers were not professional scribes
- 38:13The Diary of Nemea confirms the date
- 38:16Agme Kufu may indeed be
- 38:19the name of the Great Pyramid
- 38:21a Willis Dabbs metaphor
- 38:23The Orion correlation is coincidental
- 38:27The angels don't match perfectly
- 38:32and the shape of the correlation
- 38:35has changed over time
- 38:36The thing's erosion can be explained
- 38:39by a mechanism other than rainwater
- 38:43There is no archaeological trace of an older civilization
- 38:48Radiocarbon dating of mortar
- 38:51from the Great Pyramid
- 38:53yields a year around 2600 BCE
- 38:59But if Biondi and May are right
- 39:02if the second thing is unearthed
- 39:05if the underground shafts are opened
- 39:09and the three independent measurement techniques
- 39:12confirms the findings
- 39:13then Egyptology will face the greatest paradigm shift ever
- 39:17as Biondi says
- 39:21The question is
- 39:22Who are we? We don't know
- 39:25The answer could be that we were
- 39:30dig there, find the second things
- 39:33and it will give us the answers
- 39:38Thank you for listening
- 39:40If you are still there, please consider like and subscribe
- 39:43and if you would like to follow the CAFRA project further
- 39:47you can find updates on the project's Facebook page
- 39:52And
- 39:53if you have the chance
- 39:55perhaps consider go to Bologna on June the 21st
- 39:59there may still be tickets left
- 40:01meet the researchers, see the image
- 40:04and see where the history itself may be rewritten
- 40:10See you next week
