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

There are 200 ton slabs that were moved too on a lot of these that are size if a small house. They clearly were a lie to move massive stones with some type of sound technology or something we lost through the ages . That said I understand we have that tech now

Bruh…

Earthquakes, scavenging, explosive charges and 1000’s of year exposure to the elements takes a toll on a structure.

Go see it in person and you will gain an appreciation you can’t get being an arm chair quarterback.

It is fricking amazing, no matter your current take.

His entire method of moving stone revolves around small rocks under the massive stone and also that massive stone being on a large concrete slab.

If there is no slab, the rock would be driven into the earth by the weight.

Also how did he lift the multi ton rock
To get a stone underneath it in the first place?

He showed how he rocked the stone back in forth to raise it higher but how did it get on the platform
In the first place?

I get that your trying to say, but that's just not true.

Timber. Not sure how big, maybe a platform of 4x4's or 6x6's would be enough. The right wood can handle a lot of weight, especially if it's dispersed properly. I've seen backhoes travel on 3/4 inch plywood, in rain-soaked land that a man would sink to his ankles. You have the wood in place when you cut the block, to lay it down on it. Pivots are in place when you start.

Simple enough, you have the proper amount of pivots ready beforehand, and you lower the fresh-cut slab onto them. Then you set another in place on more timber, and do the teeter-totter trick to walk one end over. And repeat. As you walk it, you can start taking the old ones up, and move them in front. Basically, you're using a caterpillar type of movement, with the timber being the load-bearing part of the track, and instead of the track being connected, you are moving them by hand.

Any of us, given the right tools (the lumber and pivot stones or blocks), and some hands-on direction from someone who has worked out the necessary physics (where to place things, how much leverage to apply, etc), could move such blocks relatively easily, and soon get things moving smoothly. And probably by the time your crew moves the block 100 yards to exactly where you want it, one of you could direct the next crew on the same process.

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.

So hundreds of years of building experience led to bigger, better pyramids?

Why’d they stop building them?

Wars, invasions, mother nature. Not to mention they were extremely expensive and took 30+ years to build. And not all Pharoahs lived long enough in power to accomplish that.

I can see the arguments that aliens possibly jump started some of that tech as well.

I just struggle with the idea that some alien civilization has the technology to come to Earth, but the technology they share is how to build stone pyramids?
