Most visitors to Giza never step foot here. The Central Cemetery fields are hidden in plain sight — vast, silent, and almost forgotten. This isn’t the tourist Giza you know.

In my next video, I go off-limits to explore areas few dare to see. Every step feels like uncovering a chapter that was never meant to be read.

Here are some of the earliest high resolution images I could find of the area i will show you..

I can't believe it's unseen by tourists

Thomas Ogle had developed a technology that threatened to upend the energy industry, a breakthrough that could disrupt the carefully maintained status quo of Big Oil.

A few months after Tom's patent was published, he began to feeling stalked. He claimed to have been threatened and asked to sell the rights to his technology. The first attempt on Tom's life failed but not the second.

Pneumatic Subway Systems

Here’s what those pneumatic train cars looked like unfortunately, not many photographs have survived. These old tunnels once existed on nearly every continent.

Unlike modern subways, they didn’t use traditional trains, instead they relied on pneumatic train cars powered by compressed air. Over time, many of these tunnels have been repurposed, renovated and presented as if they were brand new.

The decoration on this monumental cabinet refers to the French king Louis XIV's military victories. A panel of marquetry showing the cockerel of France standing triumphant over both the eagle of the Holy Roman Empire and the lion of Spain and the Spanish Netherlands decorates the central door. On the drawer above the door, gilt-bronze military trophies flank a medallion portrait of Louis XIV. In the Dutch Wars of 1672 to 1678, France fought simultaneously against the Dutch, Spanish, and Imperial armies, defeating them all. This cabinet celebrates the Treaty of Nijmegen, which concluded the war. Two large figures from Greek mythology, Hercules and Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, representatives of strength and bravery in war, appear to support the cabinet.

The fleurs-de-lis on the top two drawers indicate that the cabinet was made for Louis XIV. As it does not appear in inventories of his possessions, it may have served as a royal gift. The Sun King's portrait appears twice on this work. The bronze medallion above the central door was cast from a medal struck in 1661 that shows the king at the age of twenty-one. Another medallion inside shows him a few years later.

The pair to this cabinet still exists in Scotland. Both cabinets probably entered England in the early nineteenth century after the French Revolution caused the dispersal of so many French collections.
