Gobekli Tepe , in Turkey, is 12,000 years old.
Stonehenge was built about 500 years before the first pyramid in Egypt.

But yet we can't get another bridge across the MS River in BR

When Bonaparte visited Giza during his Nile expedition of 1798 (the story goes), he determined to spend a night alone inside the King’s Chamber, the granite-lined vault that lies precisely in the centre of the pyramid. This chamber is generally acknowledged as the spot where Khufu, the most powerful ruler of Egypt’s Old Kingdom (c.2690-2180 BC), was interred for all eternity, and it still contains the remains of Pharaoh’s sarcophagus—a fractured mass of red stone that is said to ring like a bell when struck.
Having ventured alone into the pyramid’s forbidding interior and navigated its cramped passages armed with nothing but a guttering candle, it's said that Napoleon emerged the next morning white and shaken, and thenceforth refused to answer any questions about what had befallen him that night. Not until 23 years later, as he lay on his death bed, did the emperor at last consent to talk about his experience. Hauling himself painfully upright, he began to speak—only to halt almost immediately with the words you quoted: “Oh, what’s the use. You’d never believe me.”

The largest stones on the pyramids can weigh up to 80 tons.
The Western stone at the base of the Western Wall in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem weighs approximately 560 tons. It is possibly the heaviest object ever lifted by humans without modern machinery.

10,000 BC
The basis of this theory concerns the proposition that the relative positions of three main Ancient Egyptian pyramids on the Giza plateau was by design correlated with the relative positions of the three stars in the constellation of Orion which make up Orion's Belt, as these stars appeared in 10,000 BC.
At 10,000 BC the great pyramids at Giza aligned perfectly with Orion’s Belt and the Pleiades star system. The Great Pyramid is located in the geographical center of the Earth and at 10,000 BC would have been dead solid perfect in it’s alignment to true North, South, East, and West. There has never ever been a tomb, a sarcophagus, or mummified remains of any human or animal ever discovered in any of the great pyramids nor most intriguingly, no hieroglyphs ever discovered as well.

I know most academics/Egyptologists think he's a crackpot, but I really enjoyed the first Rogan podcast with Graham Hancock. That's the only episode I listened to almost the whole thing.

They were built over 2000 years before the Romans. So the Romans looked back to them as we do to the Romans

One branch of scientists dispelling it, while another doing the math to authenticate it as a possibility. We’re funny fricking creatures. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to visit the great pyramids and then seen the other pyramids attempted by later pharaohs, you’ll see with your own two eyes that there is no fricking way those people’s ancestors built the great pyramids, it’s laughable. There’s a reason those pharaohs were entombed and buried in the valley of the kings and not within pyramids.

Many are older...some allegedly much older

Romans had running water, heated floors, transportation systems, road technology etc.
Not sure we're really that far ahead of the classical period.

No telling what's under the silt of the Persian gulf.
The Mid-Atlantic ridge (Azores plateau) is likely to have been well above sea level 12000 years ago prior to the younger dryas disaster.

Absolutely...
Yeah there's a clear fall off in technology from the granite boxes, the carved stone pots and several dark granite statues onto the lower quality carvings and statues millenia later.

So how were the pyramids built? POWs and slaves.
This is mostly wrong. While some prisoners and slaves would’ve worked on the pyramids most people who worked on them were paid craftsmen and Egyptian local farmers who came to Giza to work during the yearly flooding period of the Nile

The government that built the pyramids was absolutely powerful and the pharaohs had total population control and exercised it with cruelty and power. Basically they could get their populations to spend that amount of time and money on the pyramids by using fear, fear of death and fear of losing out on the afterlife if they refused.
Building the pyramids cost huge amounts of time and money which led to weakened government and eventual peasant revolts. Once the Egyptian royal government re-emerges the pharaohs are still powerful but not nearly as powerful, some non royals gained the rights of mummification and the tax burdens weren’t as extreme nor were the forced government labor for citizens. So they weren’t able to build pyramids because they didn’t have the same amount of population control. That and every pyramid got robbed and robbed and robbed so building them was proven to be a bad idea. Better to build your tomb underground and try and keep grave robbers away (although those almost all got robbed too).
Egyptians in the New Kingdom (~1000 years after the pyramids), built some damn impressive structures too. Go check out the mortuary temple at Djeser-Djeseru or the Ramasseum, they are just as impressive as the pyramids IMO

Personally, I believe the launching of the James Webb is going to be the beginning of a turning point in "knowledge" concerning everything from the beginning of our civilization to our perception of reality itself.
