The pyramids of Egypt's Old Kingdom contain some truly magnificent stones placed in conspicuously visible locations. These blocks are telling a story, but what clues can be found to help us understand the message?

If megalithic stones are found above a pyramid's entrance, does it make any sense to think of this entrance as being hidden?

This video investigates these questions, and ponders what we might learn from looking the at the largest pyramid lintels.
