Couldn't be made with todays technology? Interesting. Anyone got a direct quote or timestamp to the episode this claim was made in?

EDIT: Yeah so I did a little digging around and this seems to be from the Coleman Hughes episode and the specific claim he makes is: The stones used to form them (in Giza specifically) were 70 tons, which we currently don't have the technology to move the 100s of miles, through the mountains, they were moved back then.

So yeah. While I don't think that is correct either it still seems like the statement in the picture above is a misquote.

The Caterpillar 797 is a series of off-highway, ultra class, two-axle, mechanical powertrain haul trucks developed and manufactured in the United States by Caterpillar Inc

The current, third-generation model, the 797F, offers one of the largest haul truck payload capacities in the world, up to 400 short tons (363 t) and has the highest payload capacity among mechanical drive haul trucks.[3]

You understand we can and have cut highways through mountains?

Building a Pyramid would be a tiny project compared to building a railway system. Completely trivial.

I appreciate you looking it up, because I was thinking the same thing, did he actually say anything like this?

That said, him claiming we don't have the tech currently to move 70 ton stones over mountains seems clearly incorrect.

I think people have a misunderstanding in their heads that's distorted to the point of absurdity. My guess is he grew up like many Americans did hearing that "we don't know how the Pyramids were built" and took that at its face, like it was magic or scifi.

The truth is we didn't/don't how they built them 7000 years ago with their shitty technology and shitty math and no wheel. I'm oversimplifying of course, but I think that's appropriate.

Well duh, they left the dark knight and pyramids across the world who were just power stations...

From what i have learned the technology to build the pyramids was actuall extremely low tech, and i dont mean slaves and chisles, i mean strings, honey, and tuning forks for the cutting of stone. For transportation they used vibrations to move the stone along magnetic lines in the earth.

Its not ancient high tech, its simply forgotten or suppressed low tech.
