The Revelation of the Pyramids

The Revelation of the Pyramids, narrated by Brian Box, takes an extensive look at the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is widely believed to have been built as a tomb for the country’s pharaohs in ancient times. Based on the work of Jacques Grimault, who has studied pyramids for over 40 years, it presents an alternative theory about the pyramid’s origins. The film questions traditional Egyptological viewpoints, asserting that they rely on unverified assumptions such as the lack of machinery, a twenty-year construction period and its ‘coincidental’ equinox orientation.

The documentary then moves on to comparisons between the pyramids of Giza and those found in other regions, including China, Easter Island and various native cultures of the Americas. The film suggests that Giza’s construction implies the Egyptians would have needed to be highly advanced mathematicians, using equations centuries before they were discovered elsewhere in the world. It therefore concludes that the pyramids were not built by the Egyptians, but by a significantly older civilisation that has long since faded into the mists of time.
