Forbidden History: Was There A Fourth ‘Black Pyramid’ At The Giza Plateau?

In one of his exploratory trips, a missing captain of the Danish Navy was surprised to find that there weren’t actually 3 Pyramids on the Giza Plateau; instead, he found a 4^th mysterious one.
Several of stories have been passed down from generations about Egypt, a number of which have distorted the preceding ones, all have aroused interest from people all around the world. One such story came from a Danish Navy captain during one of his exploratory trips, in which the captain found that the number of the Pyramids of Egypt on the Giza Plateau weren’t actually three.
In fact, he found that there was a fourth structure of glossy black color. Several hypotheses have been suggested around the story, primarily because there is no proof of a great black pyramid. However, the history and the evidence of such trip exist, and no one knows what happened to that mysterious fourth pyramid of Egypt.

Illustration of the Black Pyramid

During the 1700s, Frederic Norden, a Danish navy captain and seasoned explorer made extensive notes, observations, and drawings of everything around, including the people, pharaonic monuments, architecture, facilities, maps, etc., all of which were published in his posthumous book “Voyage d’Egypte et de Nubie.”
On page 120 of the book, whose name means “Travels through Egypt and Nubia”, Norden illustrates the enigmatic pyramid:
“The main pyramids are in the east, south-east of Giza … there are four of them; they deserve the most attention of the curious; although we see seven or eight others in the adjacencies, they are nothing compared to the previous ones … The two pyramids further north are the largest and are five hundred feet high perpendicular. The other two are much less, but they have some peculiarities, which motivate them to continue to be examined and admired.”

Norden’s sketch from the 1700s showing 4 pyramids at Giza

“They are uncoated, close and resemble the others but no temple like the first. It has, however, a special feature that deserves attention; which is, that its summit ends with a single large stone, which seems to have served as a pedestal… a fourth pyramid has been made, upwards above the average, of a stone blacker than common granite, and equally Lasted. Its top is made of a yellowish stone. I will talk later about its upper part, which ends in a cube. It is also located outside the line of the others, being more to the west … it makes a series with the other three.”The text was published after the death of Norden. In the text, Norden shared sketches from his trip to Egypt. The text’s data has surprised researchers who rumored about a glorious black pyramid at Giza.

An early illustration shows that the pyramid actually existed

In the book, the pyramid is depicted as a black stone much harder than granite. Skeptics doubted that he might have mistaken one the satellite pyramids around the three, called Menakure’s satellite pyramids as a fourth. But this doesn’t make any sense because the pyramids were constructed out of sandstone.
Nonetheless, this refutes everything Norden depicts in the text as he does it with such accuracy that he even points to it on the map as a 4^th pyramid. Moreover, the details that Norden provides are so obvious to leave any room for doubt or any invention on the part of the traveler. It’s clear that Norden wrote of a pyramid made of a harder stone and a shiny black colour.
Mysteriously, the description and illustrations provided by the Danish captain are of an extremely surprising quality and position the 4^th black pyramid at a certain distance from the current 3 pyramids of Giza. The presence of 7 more pyramids on the Giza plateau was even depicted in Norden’s book, though currently there is no proof of them.
