THE SAME WAY AS ALL OF THE OTHER PYRAMIDS (there are actually 3 'great' pyramids, you idiot)

I'll be anxiously awaiting your explanation.

There's an entire wikipedia entry on this.
How dumb are you that you can't even find something so widely known that wikipedia's picked it up?
I mean, we all know you're dumb as shite...but man, google.com is not that hard of a website to find.
I edited my previous post after I noticed you were just talking about how pyramids in general are built.
Tell me how the Great Pyramid was built.
And don't tell me to google wikipedia,
What's your explanation how the Great Pyramid was built?

you mean we know what one theory of how they were built that has been accepted by Egyptologists?
here is an uncomfortable truth, the biggest & best made pyramids are the oldest ones
why would the older structure be better built?
seems like it should be the other way around...

Explain to me what way that is.
BTW, the largest of the 3 pyramids at Giza is called the Great Pyramid, dufus.
quote:
The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt.
quote:
There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid's construction techniques. Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
quote:
Many alternative, often contradictory, theories have been proposed regarding the pyramid's construction techniques.[22] Many disagree on whether the blocks were dragged, lifted, or even rolled into place. The Greeks believed that slave labour was used, but modern discoveries made at nearby workers' camps associated with construction at Giza suggest that it was built instead by tens of thousands of skilled workers. Verner posited that the labour was organized into a hierarchy, consisting of two gangs of 100,000 men, divided into five zaa or phyle of 20,000 men each, which may have been further divided according to the skills of the workers.[23]
One mystery of the pyramid's construction is its planning.
How can there still be varying scientific theories about how the Great Pyramid was built when you claim we know it was built like all the other pyramids?

The grand gallery is a counterweight system and there is a lot of evidence for the inner ramp system. The quarrying and shaping of stones is all well documented in their own paintings. There is nothing magical about it.

I had a dorm mate who went to a Little Rock center once a month to be studied because he could read minds.
We were playing team spades for low stakes. He won everything. Afterwards he returned all our money and said "I knew all of your cards every hand." The cards were a new deck that I brought.
Another time I thought to myself "I wonder if Kevin plays tennis. I'll see if he wants to play Sat morning."
I walked out of my room, down the hall and started to knock on his door. It opened up and he said 'Yes, I play tennis. I'll see you at 9 am." Then he shut the door.

It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Khufu (often Hellenicised as "Cheops") and was constructed over a 20-year period. Khufu's vizier, Hemiunu (also called Hemon), is believed by some to be the architect of the Great Pyramid.[2] It is thought that, at construction, the Great Pyramid was originally 280 Egyptian cubits tall (146.5 metres (480.6 ft)), but with erosion and absence of its pyramidion, its present height is 138.8 metres (455.4 ft). Each base side was 440 cubits, 230.4 metres (755.9 ft) long. The mass of the pyramid is estimated at 5.9 million tonnes. The volume, including an internal hillock, is roughly 2,500,000 cubic metres (88,000,000 cu ft).[3]
Based on these estimates, building the pyramid in 20 years would involve installing approximately 800 tonnes of stone every day. Additionally, since it consists of an estimated 2.3 million blocks, [b]completing the building in 20 years would involve moving an average of more than 12 of the blocks into place each hour, day and night. The first precision measurements of the pyramid were made by Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petrie in 1880–82 and published as The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh.[4] Almost all reports are based on his measurements. Many of the casing stones and inner chamber blocks of the Great Pyramid fit together with extremely high precision. Based on measurements taken on the northeastern casing stones,the mean opening of the joints is only 0.5 millimetre wide (1/50 of an inch).
Explain how they could raise 12 of those 2 1/2 ton blocks every hour higher and higher every hour day after day for 20 years until they topped off the Great Pyramid with the mean opening of the joints being only 0,5 millimeters wide (1/50 of an inch).
We can't even do it today with that precision using only the tools that the Egyptians had in those days.

Because the poorly-built older ones have already succumbed to age-rot.
Selection bias is making you incoherent.

Unlimited capacity of unpaid and paid laborers.
It's amazing what you can do without OSHA or labor laws!

God help that dude when he was in the presence of women. No telling what runs through their minds.

One theory I heard was that they used a forgotten piece of equipment which allowed them to find and replicate the resonant frequency of the stone blocks. They would then produce that frequency, causing the stones to vibrate and become incredibly easy to move up massive mud ramps.

Meh, the absence of evidence for something existing is not evidence that something existed.

Oh, it helped him. He was not an attractive guy. Very smart but short, chubby with curly brown hair. He looked Jewish but was adopted at birth by Christian parents.
He had a very nice looking girl friend. He said his advantage was that girls have strong and clear first impressions. So, if he could tell a girl was thinking 'I'm not interested in this guy' then he didn't waste his time.

That reminds me of a woman I met when I was at UGA.
She told me that when she was a very young girl she would levitate her body when she had to go up stairs. At that young age she didn't realize it was impossible for someone to levitate and thought everyone could do it but when she got a little older and realized other people couldn't levitate then she lost the ability to levitate.
