The Secrets Behind Egypt’s Pyramids:The Wonder of the Ancient World 🏜️
A Tapped In Talk with Hugo Cook
A lecture in a pub with a nice cold beverage... what more could you want? 🍻 We're swapping whiteboards for bar stools and boring PowerPoints for pints.

The pyramids of Egypt have towered over humanity for more than 4,500 years - but how were they really built, why were they built that way, and what secrets are still hidden inside them?

From perfectly aligned stone blocks to hidden chambers and cosmic connections, the pyramids remain one of the greatest engineering feats in human history. Were they purely royal tombs, or something more? And how did an ancient civilisation achieve precision that still amazes modern engineers today?

Join us for a visual, accessible and mind-bending journey into the science, symbolism and speculation behind the most iconic structures ever built. Through imagery, storytelling and modern archaeological discoveries, we’ll peel back the layers of myth to uncover what we actually know about the pyramids - and what still puzzles experts. ✨

Perfect for beginners, history lovers, and anyone who’s ever looked at the pyramids and thought: how on earth did they do that?

What You’ll Learn 📘
🏗️ How the pyramids were engineered with ancient tools
📐 Why their alignment and geometry still baffle scientists
🗝️ What recent discoveries reveal about hidden chambers and tunnels
🌌 The religious, cultural and cosmic meanings behind their design
🤯 Popular myths vs archaeological evidence
