Saladin's son lost the war against the pyramids.

> When Mélic-alaziz Othman ben-Yousouf succeeded his father, he let himself be persuaded by some people in his court, men without good sense, to demolish these pyramids; and they started with the red pyramid, which is the third of these great pyramids and the smallest.

> The sultan therefore sent sappers, miners, and workers, led by some of the main officers and leading emirs of his court, and ordered them to destroy it. To execute the orders with which they were charged, they established their camp near the pyramid; they gathered from all around a large number of workers, and maintained them at great expense. They stayed there eight whole months, with all hands occupied with execution of the commission with which they were charged, removing each day, after inflicting much pain on themselves and exhausting all their strength, one or two stones.

> After having stayed encamped in this place for a long time, and having spent their pecuniary resources, with their pain and fatigue always growing while their resolve weakened day by day, and with their strength exhausted, they were forced to shamefully give up their enterprise. Far from gaining the success they were promised, and accomplishing their design, they got nothing from it but to mar the pyramid, and to show, in full evidence, their impotence and their weakness. This happened in the year 1196. Today, when one looks at the stones coming from the demolition, one can persuade oneself that the pyramid was destroyed down to the foundations; but if, in constrast, one looks at the pyramid, it seems to have suffered no degradation, and that on one side only a part of the facing has come off.

(from al-Baghdadi's Account of Egypt)

This is proof that the ancient Egyptians were right. We must return to our roots and start worshipping the old Gods again - I do, and make my votive offerings to Ra. All of Egypt, and then the world, needs to learn the lesson of the Pyramids.

That looks more like an attempt to breach an interior space, than an attempted demolition.

Yes, that seems likely. The video talks about that idea.

Unless, and hear me out, it was done by retarded inbred arabs

I think this was the result of attempts to access its inner chambers. During the 9th century, the Caliph Al-Ma'mun ordered an excavation into the Great Pyramid of Giza, using brute force to create an artificial tunnel when the original entrance could not be located. This method involved chiseling into the structure, leading to visible damage, like the large gaps or tunnels seen in some pyramids today.
