I will show you the time line of the best known Egyptian Pyramids.
With the associated Pharaoh ,and his ,known history.
After the main stream time line ,
i will show my alternative theory.
And i will obviously explain why this is more logic.
At 3150 BC ,The first Pharaoh ,
Menes ,also called Narmer ,ruled.
While some believe ,Narmer is even a different Pharaoh.
This already shows that not everything that we learn is Fact.
First the Egyptians build Mastaba's.
This is The Mastaba of Fara oun at Saqqara.
At the time of the third dynasty ,
builder Imhotep ,put 6 mastaba's ,on top of each other.
This marks the start of the pyramid building period ,
according to the main stream idea.

Here is the full listed time line of the Egyptian pyramids.
For ,if you want to see it organised in 1 look.
Time line of the best known Egyptian pyramids.
Now you have seen the time line.
So you know the basics.
And some may already see the problem.
If you want to see where the following ideas originate from.
Then i recommend you to watch the following documentary.
That way you can check my conclusions afterwards by watching the documentary.
This 50 minutes documentary ,
gives a detailed view ,of the topic.
The Greatest Pharaohs
History Channel Ancient Egypt 03of10
Greatest Pharaohs 1 3150 to 1351 BC.
And the first 6 minutes of
History Channel Ancient Egypt 04of10
Greatest Pharaohs 2 3150 to 1351 BC
I watched these 2 documentaries
that explain the history of the Pharaoh
And these theories show some remarkable events that could be explained differently.
And if you explain it in a different way then the puzle can fit as well.
This also explains why some people think that the Giza area could be pre Egyptian.
I start of by saying that this is a Theory !
Backed up by logic and common sense.
And by comparing the Pyramid time line With the given historical events.
The pyramids supposed to be tombs ,according to the main stream idea.
But no bodies were ever found , in any of the Pyramids.
Thus Pyramids with function as tombs is a theory as well ,not fact !
But let's use the logic of Pyramids being tombs.
Most people think that the great pyramid is the most remarkable achievement.
Because that one contains 2,3 million blocks and was build in 20 years.
20 years because they say its a tomb And had to have been build In the livetime of the
pharaoh.
But there is an even more remarkable pharaoh to find ,if you follow the time line.
Sneferu ,The bringer of beauty ,builder of the 2nd ,3th and 4th Pyramid.
Together those 3 pyramids must contain even more then 2,3 milion blocks !
This is not logic There is only 1 pharaoh to bury ,not 3 !
I think archeologists tried to make the puzle fit with these pyramids.
So there might be a more logic way of making the puzle fit.
Let's have a look at these pyramids.
1 ,Step Pyramid of Djoser ,
2630--2612 BC ,Saqqara ,
First Pyramid
2 ,Bend Pyramid of Sneferu ,
2612--2589 BC ,Dahshuur ,
Abandoned because of cracks in structure.
3 ,Red Pyramid of Sneferu ,
2612--2589 BC ,Dahshuur ,
Sneferu his perfected pyramid.
4 ,Meidum Pyramid of Sneferu ,
2612--2589 BC ,Meidum ,
Unknown.
5 ,Great Pyramid of Khufu ,
2589--2566 BC ,Giza ,
Build for Khufu son of Sneferu.
6 ,Pyramid of Djedefre ,
2566--2558 BC ,Abu Rawash ,
Build for Djedefre son and successor of Khufu.
7 ,Pyramid of Khafre ,
2558--2532 BC ,Giza ,
Build for Khafre 2nd son of Khufu.
7 ,The Great Sphinx ,
2558--2532 BC ,Giza Add ,
Build for Khafre 2nd son of Khufu.
8 ,Pyramid of Menkaure ,
2532--2504 BC ,Giza ,
Build for Menkaure son of Khafre.
Pyramids supposed to be tombs ! ,,,
So WHY would Sneferu build 3 ?
We are to believe that the bend pyramid had a construction error.
And that they then made The Red pyramid for Sneferu.
But why would they look at this as an error ?
They never build a perfect pyramid before it !
The bend pyramid already looks much beter then the step pyramid that was build before
it.
The cracks in the structure could as well have been caused by the long time it excists.
So they might not have looked at it as a mis-shaped pyramid at all.
Since they not supposed to have an example of a perfect pyramid at that stage.
Something does not fit in the logic of this puzle.
Let's see if we can give a more logic theory.
We now have Sneferu who is credited for building 3 Pyramids.
And as most of you know The Giza Pyramids have no writing.
And the stone work in the structures show most perfection
So some think that these structures at Giza
were partly or completely build by
a more ancient advanced Egyptian civilization.
So lets see if we can link the Giza Pharaohs
To different Pyramids from around that time
The empty Sneferu Pyramids.
The Bend pyramid could have been seen as ok ,instead of mis-shaped
and have been used by Sneferu.
Then the first real and largest Pharaoh Dynasty build Red pyramid
would be for Khufu son of Sneferu.
Build close to his fathers pyramid at Dashur
History teaches that it was a poor time when Khafre ruled.
Yet he supposed to have build
The 2nd largest Egyptian Pyramid
AND the Sphinx at the Giza area ?
Djedefre first son and successor of Khufu build at Abu Rawash not at Giza.
While they could have said ,He only ruled for 10 years ,
So the small pyramid at Giza is his.
Build close to his father at Giza.
But they didn't ,
It's accepted that he build at another site at Abu Rawash.
Thus its not that strange to link the poor Khafre to Meidum instead of Giza
Menkaure last ruler of the 4th Dynasty re opened temples ,
to put more value at freedom for the population ,instead of building.
He was a good Pharaoh.
So they think that he made a small pyramid to put less strain on the workers.
I think they didn't make any pyramid for Menkaure.
Because he broke with the old traditions.
So it makes more sense that he didnt want one build ,but used a temple.
Next pharaoh in the line is Userkaf ,great grand son of khufu.
And he also does not link himself with Giza but builds in Saqqara.

2494-2487 BC
So let's check that Alternative time line.
Time line Of the Egyptian Pyramids Alternative !

And as before ,Here is the full listed time line.
For if you want to see it ,organised in 1 look.
Alternative timeline ,of the Egyptian Pyramids.
There is one more option And thats by looking at the Shape of the pyramids
Stepped for Djoser.
Sneferu Meidum ,also still Stepped, for ,sneferu.
Sneferu Bend for ,Khufu.
Djedefre Pyramid for ,Djedefre.
Sneferu Red Pyramid for ,Kafre.
But thats less logic Because then the poor Pharaoh Gets the best
And Khufu the most famous one gets the bend pyramid
And the one with the biggest reputation He does get 3 Pyramids credited to him
Gets a step like pyramid At a whole different site
We also have to look at the culture
Thus we need to follow reputations
Thats why i think the other option fits better.
Sneferu gets his Bend Pyramid
Next evolutionairy growth from step Pyramid
Khufu with his big reputation gets The Red pyramid
Largest of the Pharaoh dynasty build Pyramids
Khafre was a poor Pharaoh
Logic after 2 reigns that were so labour intensive
Meidum fits nicely for that kinda Pharaoh
So as you see there is a way to match
the Giza Pharaohs to different pyramids.
The Giza pyramids have no writing on them only some grafity inside the workers place.
And if you look at the quality of the pyramids And size ,precision of the used stone work.
Then its not so strange to link the Giza complex to different builders.
Just have a look at the pyramids timeline. And you see that The newer they get ,The worse
they look.
You could say later generations invested less time and work on building.
But if that would be the case Then we should see smaller constructions.
Yet we not only see smaller ones But also using less perfection in the stone
cutting.
Less workers don't make people dumber.
And should not change the quality of the craftmanship only the volume or amount.
In my opinion the pyramids and Sphinx at Giza were made by an Ancient Civilization From
before the Pharaohs.
Those pre Pharaoh Egyptians could have been more dark skinned.
And be more linked with the early Nubian culture.
Like Menes aka Narmer ,The first Pharaoh.
Who clearly has *** facial features.
If you want to know more about my theory on this older civilization.
Watch my video ,Mystery Of The Age Of The Giza Pyramids.
I hope you learned something new.
Off course its up to you to form your own conclusions
After looking at these historical events.
But imo the accepted theory does not make perfect sense.
While this theory makes a lot more sense and explains Giza being earlier as well.
