Well I have two options. One being more advanced then wiped out.

Well, you seem stupid, so that’s why you have two stupid options.

This is old but also not how they did it.

Scientists don’t even agree.

If the past few years has taught me anything about "scientitst" is that if you cut em a check, theyll back what ever you want

I just look at it like this.

There wasn’t shite to do back then other than to push rocks around.

So they did.

Or perhaps it’s because as I originally suggested society was devoted to the use and manipulation of stone. Things exist in large part because of society as a whole. Where would the cell phone tech be if there was no interest or need from society? What about modern aviation? If society needed strong building material to survive and stone was the most readily available material, the brightest minds and the most skilled workers are going to be putting their skills and knowledge into developing effective ways and means of using it.

Don’t you think if we had a physics based way to efficiently move tons of stone in such a way we would invest in that as opposed to fossil fuel use? Or at the least, have some form of mathematics that can explain it?

Or do you simply think they just did it by numbers and bodies?

That's not how it was done.

I dont think moving 2.3 million 2 ton blocks is “small” details.

It’s quite literally the most important part and we have no consensus.

Originally, the biggest issue was hot it was impossible to raise such heavy blocks of granite. Then one guy does it with stone and wood.

Now it was impossible to move them. It's just more interesting to claim aliens or previous, more advanced civilizations. Why weren't aliens or civilizations building with metal?

People also forget the many hundreds of pyramids and the progression from smaller, stepped pyramids to the larger, smooth pyramids of Giza. There is clearly a learning progression. The large pyramids were built hundreds of years after the first, crude pyramids.

Kinda rules out aliens with super advanced tech, which would not have needed hundreds of years to figure out a pyramid.

Yeah, this is logical, but bullfrog disagrees.

Yeah, the first one is called The Bent Pyramid. The original plan didn't work out, so they had to adapt. They learned from that though.

What’s funny is, there are granite boxes inside the pyramid that NOBODY using today’s technology can replicate. But the Egyptians did it?
