00:00In the land where the sun god Ra rises, a monument to eternity begins.

00:05This is not just a tomb, it is a stairway to the heavens.

00:08Welcome to the story of how the pyramids were built.

00:11The journey begins with sacred geometry.

00:14The west bank of the Nile, where the sun sets and the afterlife begins, is chosen.

00:19The ground must be high, dry, and aligned with the stars.

00:23Priests and royal architects, tools in hand, measure and mark,

00:27guided by both the gods, and the gleaming night sky.

00:31Next comes the design.

00:32I imagine the architects huddled over papyrus scrolls, sketching the pyramids' dimensions.

00:37The base must be a perfect square, its corners aligned to the cardinal points,

00:42every angle, every measurement, every future stone, calculated with almost divine precision.

00:47Now, the real work begins.

00:50Picture thousands of skilled laborers descending into dusty quarries.

00:53With copper chisels and pounding stones, they carve limestone and granite blocks,

00:58some weighing up to 80 tons.

01:00Sweat, rhythm, and determination echo through the rock.

01:03But how do you move the unmovable?

01:05Ingenuity takes over.

01:07Sledges dragged by teams of oxen and men glide over sand slicked with water to reduce friction.

01:13When the Nile floods, boats become barges, ferrying granite from quarries far to the south.

01:18The river turns into a highway of stone.

01:20The foundation is sacred.

01:22Builders use water-filled trenches to ensure the base is perfectly level.

01:27The first stones are laid with ceremony, because here, at this very spot, eternity begins.

01:33Layer by layer, the pyramid rises.

01:36Ramps spiral around the growing monument, giving workers a path upwards.

01:41Block by block the structure grows, each stone carefully placed, locked into history.

01:46Now comes the finishing touch.

01:48The casing stones.

01:49Polished white limestone is fitted with such precision that the pyramid shines in the sun,

01:54visible for miles.

01:56It's not just a structure, it's a beacon of divine power.

01:59And then, the crowning moment.

02:02The final stone, possibly covered in gold, rises to the summit.

02:06This is the Benben.

02:08The sacred point where earth meets sky.

02:10Inside, artists carve hieroglyphs, priests perform rituals, and chambers are shaped for the pharaoh's journey into the afterlife.

02:19Every inch is dedicated to ensuring a safe passage to eternity.

02:23Built not by slaves but by visionaries, artisans and laborers united by purpose.

02:28The pyramid is not just a tomb, it is a message in stone, echoing across millennia.

02:35Stone by stone, this is the making of a pyramid.

02:38The net proceeded.
