摘要
Last week I made a video on the claims of a fourth main pyramid on the Giza Plateau, a claim made by Frederik Norden, a Danish naval captain and explorer who lived between 1708 and 1742.
He travelled through Egypt between 1737 and 1738, and noted the 4th pyramid in a level of detail that makes the claim hard to dismiss. But we know that by the time Napoleon was in Egypt in the 1790s there was no sign of this pyramid and it also wasn’t noted by Lepsius, Perring or Vyse in the 19th century.
So to find the fourth pyramid we have to look at sources before in mid-1700s, and this led me to another explorer of ancient Egypt, a man named Richard Pococke. He also visited Egypt between 1737 and 1741, the same time as Norden, so if Norden’s claims of a fourth pyramid are true, then surely they should have been corroborated by Pococke.
In this video I look at how Pococke described the Giza Plateau in 1743 and show his diagrams and observations and there are at least three pyramids that he describes or shows on diagrams that are not there today.
In the second half of the video, I give you a picture special as I present to you all the main pictures and diagrams from his 1743 book, titled: "A Description of the East, and some other countries". Watch the video now and please subscribe.
