I toured the pyramids today. Yes they were impressive but honestly with enough labor and will power, I can see where they could absolutely be built with basic labor.
I also toured Saqqara and looked at some of the stonework there. That stuff looks like it was cut with a laser. I’m talking about several identical complex shapes that were dimensionally perfect. I’m not sure it wouldn’t be a challenge with existing tech to build that now. It was just incredible.

They could make even really heavy things float, especially if it was ok to have said object submerged in water as it floated.

Most left but the Elohim stayed behind for quite a while mucking with our DNA, creating different races of humans.

Bingo, this sums it up in a nutshell. It was a different world back then.
They didn't build shite for profit or so their contractor could move onto the next job in a hurry. They built shite for religious/mystical reasons and put lots of time and effort into it. Your average farmer or laborer was probably happy to take time off and go work on something like the pyramid.
By the way, mainstream scholarship does not believe that slaves built the pyramids. Egypt DID have several classes of slaves, but it is not believed they built the pyramids.

Slow your roll on that. Egyptians Antiquities authority has been making the claim in recent years that ancient Egypt employed skilled artisans, not slaves. That claim is highly debatable. The basis for this rather recent claim - they say - is discovery of records proscribing rations to the workers. And they interpret rations as pay. From there, they extrapolate that the pyramids were built by "highly skilled artisans" working either voluntarily or for generous compensation. It's all pretty dubious.
The Egyptian Antiquities authorities will be parroted by most people who want access to the sites and collections, but that's far from replacing mainstream scholarly views.

Egyptian Antiquities authorities are the biggest bunch of lying bullshite artist in the world

Now that is a theory I had never seen before. Very interesting. With the Nile flood, that would be a shorted period for actually erecting the structure, but seems plausible.

This was a popular theory for a while among those that were looking to discredit the Bible, then Hebrew was found inscribed on Egyptian tablets.

Actually more likely the climate change caused by meteor strikes at the end of the Younger Dryas period cause an advanced human civilization to regress back to hunter gathers.

That books gets pretty technical but Davidovits convinced me that it was possible.

For fricks sake
Slaves did not build the pyramid
The pyramids weee built by highly skilled craftsmen who were paid adequately for their work.

We’re staying at the Steinberger Pyramids. It’s actually a pretty nice hotel.
