New Egypt Discovery / Electrical Phenomenon of 1859 on the Great Pyramid

from Megalithic Marvels · host Derek Olson

In this episode I break down the recent news of a remarkable new discovery in Egypt of a massive 62 ton box that was hiding underneath the ground where construction had begun for a new hospital. Was this box a "sarcophagus," or was it originally used for a different purpose? Next I will share the incredible true story of Sir William Siemens and the mysterious electrical phenomenon of 1859 that took place on top of the Great Pyramid. We will end the episode looking at Egypt’s 1000 Ton twin titans of mystery - the Colossi of Memnon. Get ready to learn all about these colossal statues. Were they really constructed by the Dynastic Egyptians of around 3000 B.C. or are they actually much older?
