History Fan Steps Out With Sensational Claim About Age of Great Pyramid of Giza

Matthew Sibson, who runs the YouTube channel “Ancient Architects,” has come to the conclusion that the history of one of the greatest works by ancient architects, located in the Egyptian desert, is more difficult to establish than historians have suggested for decades.

The Great Pyramid of Giza, thought to be built during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom in 2,560 BC for the Pharaoh Khufu, was smaller when it was first constructed, historian Matthew Sibson behind the YouTube channel “Ancient Architects” suggested. According to the Egyptology fan, the current consideration about its age might be wrong, as well.

He claimed that the Giza witnessed “tremendous rebuilding work in both the 18th and 26th Dynasty.” He admitted that this suggested that the Great Pyramid was enlarged seems crazy, and therefore it was rarely discussed. But, according to him, some peculiarities could confirm his theory.

According to Sibson, worship of the Pharaoh Khufu could have persisted for as many as 2,000 years after he had died. Therefore, signs of honouring him could be kept during a later renovation. Meanwhile, the majestic creations were not depicted in any art before the 18th Dynasty, as he said.

The historian also offered what he thinks is evidence of his claim. According to him, it comes from the so-called Queen’s Chamber – the space at the bottom of the pyramid, which he claims to have been an original construction. As Sibson suggests, the larger pyramid was built on this foundation. Numerous anomalies are said to point to it, namely a secondary so-called burial chamber, the lack of the original floor and of the sarcophagus, as well as the closed-up airshafts.

His assumption remains, however, a theory without any substantial evidence.
