The Giza Pyramidion and ANOTHER Lost Pyramid | Ancient Architects

In my last video we looked at one of the few Giza pyramids that has been lost to time – the satellite pyramid of Khafre known as G2-A, once located to the south of the second largest pyramid on the plateau.

For the age of this enigmatic archaeological landscape, it really is amazing that so many structures have stood the test of time, but that’s why I’m actually interested to know what’s missing. What are we not seeing? If we walk across the Giza Plateau, what’s disappeared from the landscape?

Many of you may be surprised to learn that the satellite pyramid of Khafre is not the only missing pyramid of Giza; there is another one, and it once sat within the shadow of the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu has four smaller associated pyramids, not three as you may think, and these are known as pyramids G1-a, b, c and d. The first three still remain today, are all of a similar size and are located to east of the Great Pyramid – south of the Khufu causeway.

But the superstructure of the fourth one, Pyramid G1-D has been completely dismantled, so much so that it wasn’t even discovered until as recent as 1992.

In this video I'll be discussing Pyramid G1-D and also the extremely rare find associated with it - the only pyramidion ever discovered at Giza and the second oldest ever discovered in Egypt. Watch this video to learn more.
