Inside: Pyramid chemical factory?

The Red Pyramid makes no sense | Exploring three interior chambers | Megalithomania

(MegalithomaniaUK) Nov. 28, 2024: The Red Pyramid of Dahshur, Egypt, is said to be the third pyramid built by Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu, between 2575–2563 BC. (It is the third largest in Egypt). Its red color comes from the reddish limestone, although it was once covered in white tura limestone (like the nearby Bent Pyramid).

In this video Hugh Newman explores the three known inner chambers, questioning what it may have been used for -- an industrial chemical factory, producing ammonia for fertilizer to make the land fertile and productive for a large population? He is joined by Andrew Collins and Yousef Awyan and interviews Geoffrey Drumm of ‪@thelandofchem‬, who explains his theory on how it could have been used to produce ammonia.

The remarkable corbel-vaulted ceilings and intricate stonework suggest this was built by master masons. The unusual third chamber is higher than the other two and originally had no clear access, with rough-hewn cyclopean blocks revealed beneath the floor, which John Anthony West suggested could have once been exposed to the elements due to the weathering on them. (This pyramid, like the others, was built on a far older mound).

The team also look at the mortuary temple and the remains of the pyramidion that was once on top of the structure.
