Episode notes

In this episode, we sit down with History forGranite to explore Egypt’s pyramids through historical records,early explorer diaries, and architectural evidence often overlooked in modern discussions.

We examine missing structural elements, construction anomalies, and firsthand accounts dating back hundreds of years - offering a broader perspective on how the pyramids were designed, used, and studied over time.

This conversation takes a focused, evidence-based look at what we still don’t fully understand about Egypt’s pyramids - and why these ancient monuments continue to challenge our understanding of the past.
