    The Pyramid Egypt Won't Let Anyone See

    RESEARCH ANCIENT HISTORY WITH OPEN VEILS ⁠https://openveils.com/derekolson⁠ Egypt's "Area 51" sits just three miles from the Giza pyramids... Zawyet el Aryan has been off limits since the Egyptian military took control of the site in the 1960s, and no one has excavated it since. The only photos we have come from Italian archaeologist Alessandro Barsanti, who dug it out in 1904... Most Egyptologists call it an unfinished pyramid. But Barsanti found a huge cut corridor leading down to a floor of massive granite blocks, a sealed oval vat of pink granite with a black stain inside, and signs of hidden tunnels below. Its base is almost as big as the Great Pyramid's. So was this a finished pyramid that was used, and then destroyed?
