NARRATOR: Cairo,
Egypt, April 2018-- during his first visit to
Egypt in nearly two decades, ancient astronaut
theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos is eager to find out about a
recent discovery concerning a possible hidden chamber
located deep inside the walls of the Great Pyramid of Giza. This way. NARRATOR: With him
are egyptologist Ramy Romany and
archaeoastronomer Dr. Giulio Magli. They are making their way
to what is called, the Grand Gallery, which can only
be reached after walking up a 200-foot long passageway. Directly above their
heads is the area where an international
team of scientists believe they may have located
an enormous hidden chamber, more than 100-feet long. So this is it,
the Grand Gallery. If you look at
this and you think, they made this more
than 4,000 years ago. They actually built this. This is incredible. From here to the ceiling
is about 10 meters high. And it goes about 50 meters
in, which is 150 feet deep. I mean, that just gives you an
idea of how huge this place is. And it's perfect. The blocks, they fit together,
and no mortar was used. And you can't even put a money
bill in between the fittings. And this is what type of stone
that we're looking at in here. Unlike the rest of the
pyramid, this is red granite. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
Red granite, right. RAMY ROMANY: Red granite
doesn't come from a local quarry like the limestone does. GIULIO MAGLI: It
comes from Aswan. Aswan. So that's 1,000
kilometers away. RAMY ROMANY: 1,000
kilometers away. GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: 600 miles. So you think the void is right
on top of our heads here? And how big is it in relation
to where we're standing? OK, wow. NARRATOR: The news of a
possible fourth chamber within the Great
Pyramid has become a source of great
controversy inside the archaeological community. They have long held the belief
that pyramids were essentially built as burial
vaults, each possessing no more than three chambers. Archaeologists and
egyptologists claim that they were tombs for the pharaohs. And yet no Egyptian
pharaoh was ever found in a pyramid in Egypt. [music playing] We have found the mummies
of many Egyptian pharaohs. But they're found in
vaults, deep underground at the Valley of the Kings in
Luxor, hundreds of miles away from the pyramids. The pyramids, they have
no real explanation of what their purpose was. When we found this
pyramid, there was no mummy. There were no
treasures, no nothing, no hieroglyphics, nothing. What if all this that we're
looking at is a decoy? You just raised a
very interesting point. The fact that we've come
so far into this chamber, and the entire way, not
a single hieroglyphic. Because throughout
the rest of Egypt, the walls are plastered
with inscriptions, telling the story of how it
was built and by whom and when. Yet here, so far,
complete anonymity. Absolutely. NARRATOR: Because the walls
inside the Great Pyramid contain no hieroglyphics
and there is no evidence that the colossal structure was
ever used as a tomb or temple, there has been
increasing speculation as to its original purpose. One theory, held by
numerous scientists and archaeo-engineers, is that
the pyramid and others like it may have been built as one
in an enormous network of power plants. [music playing] Christopher Dunn's
theories indicate that some of these pyramids
had chemicals mixed in them. And in fact, studies
of his working devices have shown that this
probably would work. [music playing] CHRISTOPHER DUNN: Pyramids were
actually geomechanical devices. In other words, they were
attached to the earth. They were tuned to vibrate with
the frequencies of the earth. And they converted the
energies of the earth into electromagnetic energy. The best example of this
is in the Great Pyramid. It's probably the most precise
structure on the planet. NARRATOR: According to
Christopher Dunn's theory, the process of
generating energy began with drawing water from
the nearby Nile River to the base of
the Great Pyramid. Right in front of
the door of the-- entrance door of
the great pyramid, there used to be a well shaft,
which was documented in 1857. And so the water
would just gravity feed down into, basically, a
moat around the Great Pyramid and then go down the entrance
shaft, down into the ground. SPEAKER: The water was used
in the subterranean chamber. It is a water pump. I believe the water was used
to cause a compression wave and cause the
pyramid to resonate. CHRISTOPHER DUNN: So
in the queen's chamber, two chemicals were
introduced-- hydrated zinc through the northern shell
and a dilute hydrochloric acid through the southern shell. This vessel represents
the queen's chamber. [music playing] Into the tubes, we're
going to pour hydrated zinc and then hydrochloric acid. When you bring these
two liquids together, a chemical reaction occurs. And a product of that
chemical reaction is hydrogen. And you
can see the vapor, the hydrogen escaping
through the chimney. And there you have the reaction. NARRATOR: Adding credibility to
Chris Dunn's remarkable theory is the fact that traces of
both zinc and hydrochloric acid have recently been found
in the shafts leading to the so-called queen's chamber. But if the pyramid
was really designed as a gigantic power plant,
how was that power applied? CHRISTOPHER DUNN: We can come
up with all kinds of devices to power with that
kind of energy, from simple domestic appliances
to highly advanced spacecraft. NARRATOR: Might the
Great Pyramid of Giza have been designed as part
of an enormous network of ancient power plants,
not 4,000 years ago but much, much earlier?
