Most of these examples, obelisks or statues, are found on sites that are generally attributed to the later periods of the dynastic civilization, the middle and new kingdoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about the actual Old Kingdom sites? Places like the Giza Plateau, with its mighty stone pyramids, where most, if not all of the architecture and artifacts are attributed to the oldest periods of known history, and not to later periods of the Egyptian Civilization? Are there massive, almost inconceivably heavy, single piece stones found in these locations? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, in today&#8217;s video, that\u2019s the topic we&#8217;re going to get into, because in the last couple of years, my good friend Yousef Awyan and I have found what, at least to our knowledge, is the largest single piece stone found at the Giza Plateau, and I wanted to share it with everyone. We&#8217;ll also take a look at some of the precision machining features of the megalithic structures at Giza, and the unique combinations of stone types that are found in these locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Executive Producers for this Episode:<\/strong><br>Matt Beal<br>Gabriele Knecht<br>Anthony Frasca<br>WhiteSky Communications, LLC<br>Marco Berenger<br>Sean Lenoarch<br>Marc Forquet<br>Allan Stuart<br>Karen Lundmark<br>Thomas Violante<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Associate Executive Producers for this Episode:<\/strong><br>Shiona Webster<br>Mt Van der Ploeg<br>Paul Thomson<br>Bard Buell<br>Cortez Studio<br>Jared Kolb<br>Casey Nunes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spaces available for Egypt tours in Feb and March of 2024!<\/strong><br>Feb 7-22, 2024: <a href=\"https:\/\/unchartedx.com\/egypt2024\/\">https:\/\/unchartedx.com\/egypt2024\/<\/a><br>March 3-18, 2024: <a href=\"https:\/\/unchartedx.com\/site\/marchtour2024\/\">https:\/\/unchartedx.com\/site\/marchtour2024\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch Ancient Civilizations Season 5 on Gaia here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/bvk_AC5\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/bvk_AC5<\/a><br>Sign up for your 7 day free trial here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/bvk_gaia-free-trial\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/bvk_gaia-free-trial<\/a><br>UnchartedXLive channel: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@unchartedxlive\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@unchartedxlive<\/a><br>Eclipse at the Canyon (April 6-9, 2024): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/eclipse-at-the-canyon-tickets-733419546607\">https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/eclipse-at-the-canyon-tickets-733419546607<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this channel in the past, we&#8217;re talked about some pretty darn big blocks of megalithic stone, found on the famous ancient sites around the world, particularly those in Egypt.
