Egyptians didn't just decide "hey, let's build a pyramid". Mastabas were first, the shape of a Pyramid evolved later.

Not to mention that there's a few faulty pyramids (e.g. Bent Pyramid which were finished quickly or all together abandoned before completion.

Merer forgot to mention aliens in his diary too.

But hey, aliens did it. They couldn't just land on Earth. Their ships were designed to land on a Pyramid because that's how intelligent race would build their spaceships. Don't question it, just trust the specialists (who wrote books!).

Anyway, for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt, the best thing out there (I think) are Bob Briers lectures also available on Audible.

One thing is for sure: you can't leverage those stones with a primed FJ 1x6 from Lowe's. I'll bet they went through quite a few of those!

Great Wall of China? Come-on, no body can do that. And its not aliens, its GOD, who show favors protecting his favorite people, the Chinese.

Not to mention the Chrysler tower. Def aliens

The creation of the feature is what made me disable shorts. If I wanted vine then I'd go back to 2013.

I think they started at the top and then built down

He who cast the first stone built the pyramid

Lifting is the hard part, you can move blocks short distances on rollers, long distances on barges, really short distances by a dozen men pushing

Nobody has so far given you a serious answer, so:

Cutting - They only had IIRC bronze, which is not enough on its own to cut through the granite. However using sand to add friction makes it cut significant faster/easier.

Moving miles - Boats are incredibly capable of carrying heavy loads with minimal energy expenditure to move said boat. Using logs and levers also goes far.

Getting to the too of the pyramid, that's a little more of a mystery. But there is evidence they included ramps within the structure as they built the bigger ones as they went. And IIRC the smaller ones had pulley systems going through the center.

It doesn't require fancy tech, just of patience and application of basic physics.

Here is a guy using some of the basic movement techniques in his backyard with multi ton stones:

Amen.

There's a whole chapter on levers called Leviticus

Also, boats!

Sounds like he was sneaking sniffs in the flammable cabinet a little too often.

Pfff I'm sorry but no, it was the cats.

You see cats have powers similar to Telekinesis. Why do you think they choose rivers surrounded by deserts to start the first civilizations. Sandboxes everywhere they please.

But one dark day the Faraó Ramses forgot to refil the food pile because and I quote "but it still had food from yesterday".

This one mistake doomed humanity to the eternal silence treatment.

(and that's why his tomb sucked, his was the first that humans actually had to build)

I do really enjoy the theory that the great pyramids are actually industrial reactant chambers.

But others have levers

I'm going to go out on a limb and say i don't think they found the pyramid whole and moved the entire thing. I think they took small pieces, possibly block shaped and moved those one at a time

Don't worry I got what you were putting down. People can be very reactionary with their downvotes here, if your joke is too subtle it can fly over their heads.

It made me smirk! For my reference, how many zeros is that (I'm shit at maths but want to try and imagine such a long lever protruding into deep space)?
