EASY TIGERSđ
Hey guys, welcome to the channel! I love exploring ancient sites and stone complexes â the kind of places most people havenât seen or even heard about. I take you along as I dig into history and archaeology, but I also look at things from a practical side â like a plumberâs eye for how stuff was built i.e ancient plumbing systems (water is key to life), and how itâs still standing today. I keep it real, give my honest opinions, and show these places without all the fluff. If youâre curious about the past and want to see some hidden spots, youâre in the right place.
My goal is simple: to share unfiltered, unbiased observations and spark curiosity about the forgotten corners of our past.

Guys, I am very happy to announce that I have officially been working on my book. One of many. Collecting nugs around the world.
Im going to focus on the pipe system and pipes on the giza plateau.. and howits designed to sustain life not to bury it. Also, Malta and the cast geometric patterns made of limestone, the famous 'cart ruts' and their true roll when it comes to these stone complexes, ancient building techniqueswe still use today. Finally, I will finish on the industrial zones made out of stone in sicily... how i made limestone granite and red sandstone. more cart ruts more shenanigans.

CHECK THIS OUT TIGERS
These two diagrams together present compelling evidence that the Giza pyramid complexâparticularly the Great Pyramid of Khufuâmay have functioned as part of a sophisticated hydraulic or fluid-management system rather than a funerary monument.
The first image, showing the surface plan of the complex, reveals a structured layout of what appear to be channel marks beneath the basalt flooring suggests that fluidsâmost likely waterâonce moved through this system.
This implies large-scale engineering designed to direct, regulate, or contain water flow, consistent with the characteristics of a pumping or hydraulic mechanism. The distribution of these subterranean channels throughout the area supports the idea that the entire plateau could have served as a kind of municipal hubâhence the need for water distribution, flood control, or large-scale hydraulic operations serving a growing ancient population.
The second image, a sectional diagram of the pyramidâs internal structure, reinforces this hypothesis.
The inclined corridors, interconnected shafts, and chambers appear to form a self-contained hydraulic network capable of pressure regulation.
When viewed in conjunction with the external channel system mapped in the first image, it becomes plausible that the internal architecture of the pyramid acted as a central chamber or regulator for water movement through the plateau. The sloping passageways could have created pressure differentialsâsimilar to those seen in primitive hydraulic pumpsâdriving water between internal and external conduits.
This integration of internal and external systems would make the pyramid an active part of Gizaâs broader water infrastructure, rather than a passive tomb. Such an interpretation better aligns with the scale, precision, and technical sophistication I've observed in the engineering of the site.
Please let me know your thoughts. I really wanna know what other people's opinions are on this..

Beneath the Great Pyramidâs temple complex lies something no one has ever spoke about.
A network of water channels running from shafts in front of the pyramids, branching quietly beneath the basalt floor, and reaching into other parts of the buried site (even though no dead royalty was ever found).
These arenât random cracks or later additions; they appear engineered, deliberate, and precise. But why would a cemetery â a place of stone, sand, and silence â need such a complex water system?
Itâs a detail often left out of official reports and tourist guides, yet I raise questions that wonât go away. Was this part of an ancient unknown plumbing system? A cooling system? Or something entirely different â a design meant to serve a purpose weâve yet to understand? Whoever built these hidden channels clearly knew what they were doing. The mystery is, why has no one spoken about them?

This immense limestone formation isnât carved â itâs cast, as if the entire structure was poured into being by some forgotten technology. What youâre seeing here is only a glimpse of a frequency-formed megalith, vast enough to cradle two cities upon its back Vallettaand Floriana. The macro geometric patterns arenât randomâthey follow a resonance, a rhythm embedded deep within the stone. Inside, the structure descends through five distinct levels, each one echoing with chambers, corridors, shafts, galleries, wells and vaults that seem more engineered than eroded.
In Decemberâs videos, Iâll be walking around these very walls, tracing the hidden geometry and exploring what lies beyond those dark openingsâinto the heart of something that defies both time and explanation.

Hereâs whatâs going on:
PROOF OF CAST GRANITE CASING STONES ON THE SPHINX TEMPLE
IN GEOLIGY
Granite forms deep, slow, and under pressure â so gases canât form bubbles. Rocks that form fast and at the surface (like pumice) do get bubbles.
Thatâs a great question â and it touches on how granite forms and what itâs made of.
Hereâs the key idea:
You canât get air bubbles in granite because granite forms deep underground from slowly cooled molten rock (magma), under high pressure, where there is no air.
Letâs break that down:
1. Granite forms underground (intrusive igneous rock)
Granite crystallizes slowly as magma cools beneath the Earthâs surface.
Because it cools so slowly, gas bubbles (if any) have time to escape before the rock solidifies.
2. High pressure environment
Deep underground, the pressure is immense.
Any gas dissolved in the magma is kept in solution â it doesnât expand into bubbles like it would near the surface.
3. No air underground
Thereâs no "air" (like oxygen or nitrogen gas) in the magma chamber.
The only gases present are volcanic gases (water vapor, COâ, SOâ, etc.), and under those pressures, they stay dissolved.
4. Contrast with extrusive rocks (like pumice or basalt)
When magma erupts at the surface (as lava), the pressure drops suddenly.
Dissolved gases expand and form bubbles, which can get trapped as the lava solidifies â thatâs why rocks like pumice or scoria have vesicles (gas bubble holes).
OR THIS IS WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON
đ¨ 1. Entrapped air during casting
When liquid or semi-liquid granite mixture is poured into a mold, air can get trapped if the mix isnât properly vibrated or degassed.
If vibration or vacuuming is insufficient, small pockets of air remain.
Once the mix hardens, those trapped bubbles become voids or âblowholes.â
Over time, if the surface layer weathers or chips away, one of those voids can become exposed â just like what youâre seeing in your photo.
đ§Ş 2. Resin or cement shrinkage
If resin or cement binder was used, shrinkage during curing can pull the material away from the aggregate in certain spots, creating hollow areas that look like air bubbles.
đĽ 3. Thermal or chemical breakdown
If the casting was exposed to heat or weathering, differences in expansion between the binder and the granite pieces can cause debonding, which can enlarge a small void into the cavity you now see.
đ§ą 4. Appearance of a âbubbleâ
The smooth, concave inner surface is typical of a void formed around a trapped air pocket, not of natural granite crystallization. It looks like a popped bubble because thatâs literally what it was â air that couldnât escape before the material set.
So in short:
The âair bubbleâ is a casting defect â trapped air or gas within the poured granite mix that became sealed inside, then later exposed when the surface layer cracked or eroded.
That âair bubbleâ makes perfect sense once you remember how cast granite is made. When crushed granite, binder (like resin or geopolymer), and pigment are mixed and poured into a mold, the mixture traps tiny pockets of air.
If the mix isnât vibrated or vacuum-degassed properly, those bubbles canât escape. As the material cures, those trapped pockets stay sealed inside. Later, when the surface wears down, chips, or is cut through, one of those voids can suddenly appear â exactly like the one in your photow.

Notice that the channel mark on the wall still has render inside â itâs the only section on-site where the original render remains intact inside a water channel.
Also, observe the darker areas on the stone walls. These darker sections are completely flush, unlike the lighter areas that appear rough and uneven. This suggests that the darker areas have been protected by some form of waterproofing or decorative render. In contrast, the lighter parts of the wall show significant weathering and surface damage, indicating that theyâve been exposed to the elements for much longer.
From this, itâs clear that the darker sections were the last parts of the wall to retain their render. Considering this evidence, it becomes apparent that the walls were originally smooth and square. Itâs likely that parts of the structure were intentionally damaged and then left to deteriorate naturally over time, giving the appearance of being carved directly from natural rock.
That's just my opinion.. what's yours?

In the image, there is a channel clearly designed for water distribution, with a small pool of water collected at the top ledge. A visible groove runs down the wall, likely serving as a water channel or drainage path, and a protective plate is positioned in front of it, possibly to prevent damage or erosion. What stands out is the presence of a pipe emerging from the wall itself, alongside another opening nearby. This raises an interesting questionâhow could a pipe be embedded within the wall so seamlessly if the structure wasnât cast or built around it? Could it indicate an advanced or well-planned method of construction to integrate the water system directly within the stone? The layout suggests deliberate engineering aimed at managing and directing water efficiently.

Beneath the streets of Paris lies a forgotten network â miles of pipes that once pulsed with invisible power. Not electricity. Not gas. But air.
For almost a century, Paris â and cities like London, Birmingham, Buenos Aires, and New York â ran on compressed air. It powered clocks, elevators, printing presses, factory machines, water pumps, theatres, tower bridge hydraulics, refrigeration systems, and even the cooling chambers of the Paris morgue.
No wires. No shocks. No pollution. Just clean, silent power flowing through the veins of the city.
So what happened? How did this safe, efficient, and flexible energy grid vanish almost overnight? Did electricity really outcompete it⌠or was it quietly pushed aside by the rising electric empires of the 20th century?
This is the story of the cities that ran on air â a global movement forgotten by time. From Viktor Poppâs first compressors beneath Paris to hydraulic power networks spanning Londonâs sewers, it was a working âfree energyâ system long before the world knew the term.
And now, itâs returning. Modern engineers are once again using compressed air to store wind and solar energy underground â a 19th-century idea reborn for the 21st century.
If a whole city could run on air once⌠could it happen again? đŹď¸

When London was powered by water..
The London Hydraulic Power Network
Origins
Built in the late 19th century to supply high-pressure water for industry.
Operated by the London Hydraulic Power Company (LHPC), established in 1883.
It replaced countless small steam engines and hand-powered systems in factories, warehouses, theatres, and even private homes.
---
How It Worked
Central pumping stations (at places like Wapping, Rotherhithe, Grosvenor Road, City Road, and Millbank) pumped water into cast-iron pipes.
The water was kept under pressure using hydraulic accumulators (big pistons weighted with heavy stones or iron).
Pressure in the system: about 700 psi (48 bar) â very powerful.
Distribution network: over 180 miles (290 km) of pipes under London streets at its peak.
---
What It Powered
Warehouses & Docks â cranes, hoists, capstans, lifts.
Factories â presses, machinery needing steady power.
Theatres â stage machinery (moving scenery, safety curtains).
Public utilities â some early lifts in hotels and offices ran off it.
Basically, anywhere you needed mechanical force, you could âplug inâ to the hydraulic main instead of running your own engine.
---
Decline
By the mid-20th century, electric motors became cheaper, more reliable, and easier to install.
The hydraulic network shrank steadily.
It finally closed in 1977.
---
What Happened After
After closure, much of the pipe network remained underground.
In the 1980s, parts of the system were reused to carry telecommunication cables (not water).
Some of the pumping station buildings survive:
Wapping Hydraulic Power Station â now an arts venue and restaurant.
Rotherhithe Pumping Station still stands.
---
đ Why Itâs Special
It was one of the worldâs first city-wide utility networks, similar in concept to gas, electricity, and telephone.
At its height, it powered 8,000+ machines across London.
A piece of infrastructure that hid in plain sight, quietly powering much of Londonâs economy.
