Why You Wouldn't Survive Building the Great Pyramid of Giza

What was it really like to build the Great Pyramid of Giza? Spoiler: you wouldn’t survive. Forget aliens, secret tech, or romantic tales of ancient glory. This is the story of the nameless, sunburnt men who carved limestone until their hands bled, dragged blocks until their bodies broke, and died in the dust without ceremony. Told in immersive second-person narration, this grimly educational sleep video takes you deep into the heat, filth, and silent horror of Egypt’s most enduring monument — from the quarries to the tomb, and everything in between.

If you’re still awake by the end, you may never look at the pyramids the same way again.
