Great Pyramid Blueprint Hidden in Plain Sight: The Bent Satellite Pyramid

February 19, 2024

In this video, we delve into the legacy of King Sneferu, the often overlooked founder of Egypt's formidable 4th dynasty. Despite being overshadowed by his son, Khufu, who is credited with the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, recent research by Charles Rigano suggests that Sneferu played a pivotal role in achieving such architectural perfection.

Sneferu and his architects demonstrated innovation by transitioning from the Step Pyramid to the flawlessly flat-sided pyramid. Sneferu is credited with commissioning not one, but three monumental structures: the Meidum, the Bent, and the Red Pyramids. Remarkably, he relocated pyramid passages and chambers from the bedrock beneath the structure to within the pyramid's masonry, a feat accomplished without blueprints or previous designs to guide them.

This groundbreaking approach revolutionized pyramid construction, leading to various styles, layouts, and improvements evident in Sneferu's structures. Among them is a lesser-known pyramid within the Bent Pyramid Complex, often overshadowed due to its smaller size. However, this subsidiary pyramid serves as a crucial link between Sneferu's reign and the grandeur of his successor, King Khufu. It bears striking resemblance to a miniature Great Pyramid, hinting at the evolutionary path from father to son. Join us as we uncover the secrets of this overlooked marvel.
