re: For people who don't believe Egyptians could build pyramids

Think about WW2 aircraft for example, the tech to build those incredible machines is only 80 years old but impossible to reproduce because the machines that were used to create those planes no longer exists.

Its not about "reproducing". We could if we wanted to becuase we know how it was done.

We cant even figure out how the pyramids were built in the 1st place. We cannot backtrack with any logical answer.

We can go to space today but none of us can figure out how they did it definitively.

I think that is a big deal.

How do we know this isn’t a clever ruse made with AI?!?!

But move forward another 5 or 10 thousand years in aviation tech and I bet you’d be very hard pressed to reproduce one.

Says who? We literally have the plans.

There are only two options for the pyramids is what I mean.

Outside help

Or more advanced and mass extinction.

If we stay on course with no mass extinction event, there is zero reason we wouldn't be able to make anything current day 1K, 10K years from now; because we literally have the plans...

Not as dumb as trying to convince anyone that people of our recorded history moved 2.3 Million 2 ton blocks in such a way with no advanced methods.

This is internet genius at work. "We have the plans" isn't worth much. The factory doesn't run and maintain itself. It's not just making a bunch of widgets and turning it into a plane. It's making the widgets that make the widgets and knowing how to keep them working. There's a lot more to it than putting together a kit.

You are confusing the difference in actually doing it because we “have” the tool and “knowing” how something was done.

Im not debating being able to make an exact replica of a WWI plane. But we know EXACTLY how it was built and works and unless we get wiped off the Earth via natural disaster or we nuke each other to death, there is ZERO reason that knowledge gets lost.

And you don’t think they had plans to build the pyramids or do you think they just winged it? Tech is quickly forgotten and abandoned. Got something on a floppy disk you want to access today? Good luck with that. You might think it’s easy because “we’ve got plans” but the reality is that 10 thousand years in the future when those planes no longer exist and the plans are long lost and it’s Stone Age aviation tech, reproducing one because “you’ve got plans” is virtually impossible. Even if you wanted to reproduce one 10 thousand years from now, how many people globally are going to want to spend the time money and energy to do so? It’s the same with pyramids. If we wanted to devote tens of billions of dollars recreating one with modern tech we probably could but no one is going to do so.

Any updates to your neighbor story?

There's a lot of "low level" knowledge that is lost. The stuff that doesn't get enough attention, because it isn't deemed as important as the big picture.

China, couldn't even make concrete right, but they could build skyscrapers.

That's the kind of stuff that doesn't get noticed until years later. It's the little things that add up, and it's why once a technology is deemed "obsolete" it is difficult to replicate years later. It's not that we don't know how it was done, but the supporting skills and knowledge surrounding the projects is lost.

Well there ain't nobody planning on building a pyramid of stone that's hundreds of miles away either.

And yet they did and the ancient world is filled with massive stone structures. It’s kind of hilarious to think that you’re willing to believe aliens with tech to travel throughout the galaxy showed up here just to show people how to build shite outta rocks. why not teach them how to build shite out of steel or something more advanced? Oh can’t give them that tech. Steel is too advanced, but we’ll show them how to move 30 ton blocks of granite hundreds of miles and stack it hundreds of feet tall.

---

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


But hey, if “aliens” is too far out there, then I would like your thoughts on the galactic fart that created all of us.
