Ancient diaries reveal the process of building the Great Pyramid

[Justherealone]

I think you are right about not being a desert the amount of calories to move 2.3 million blocks averaging 2 ton needs a massive and stable surplus of food for decades

Nothing that a bit of hard work (unknown in today's life) and a taste of the whip to get the job done.
Everyone thinks of the building of the Pyramid's in today's terms, facts are, we don't know if that area was a desert 5000 odd years age to start with, there may have been dirt around (or imported) to build ramps, we only assume, the area may have had hardwood around or Egyptians traded, they could have imported logs & ropes to move stone blocks & heavy stone blocks HAVE been moved by manpower, I helped my dad drag a guys VW Kombi out of a river in the 70's by a pully system known as a Spanish Windlass nothing more than 2 ropes attached to the car & a tree, then a heavy stick between the ropes and twist, took a few hours but out it came full of water, so heavy shit can be moved easily, the Egyptians probably had better ideas. The Romans built a 114 meter ramp to get at some Hebrew shits at Masada, bigger ramps could easily be possible, don't write off what a couple of hundred people (may have only been 1 team), ropes, simple pully systems, hard work & the incentive of a big guy with a whip coul

I don't think the whip works here I heard a theory that to complete the pyramids the workforce would be magnitudes more effective in good condition. I believe the Egyptians absolutely had methods of work and the means to provide a surplus of resources we don't yet understand. Just the great pyramid took 2300000 stones at an average of 2 ish ton each not to mention the percision of the work shows pride if not love throughout. Forced labour does not a pretty product make. I think in some way they had a way we don't to make alot of the stonework easier especially considering the granite boxes and the percision of one piece internal 90 degree corners in granite. This is difficult and extremely labour intensive and to do it without today's machines is near unimaginable if they didn't exist

I put the whip in as a bit of tongue in cheek humor. Lots we don't understand about those times & we make assumptions based on todays thoughts.

I don't know how reliable this information is. Just because something is old doesn't make it true. There's no way they made those pyramids with just copper and 200 men. @ZeroK your thoughts?

Oh the irony.

 

[slickrick27]

Oh the irony.

I know it's quite ironic isn't it? Don't get me mentioning soft tissue inside of Tyrannosaurus-rex bones again, or the living fossils we still have, or better yet how we evolved from apes but they are all still here and we have no transitional fossil records to prove it, and how there's no evidence of anything evolving into another species currently. Oh the irony.

You can get started on all that again if you want. Refer back to my previous statement that truth ≠ fact.

O yea I forgot about that, how your truth is different than mine. Yea please let's not even.

It couldn't have been done with ramps, they'd need to be miles long...

However, there's an interesting theory out there that proposes a redirection of the Nile river, and the stones were moved by elevating pools, much in the same way the Panama Canal functions.

The problem with evolution is that there's no evidence of it. At all. Which is why it's nothing more than a theory. Yet, science has determined that all humans descended from a single pair of humans. DNA is irrefutable.

The other problem with evolution is that it requires an infinitesimal quantity of genetic mutations to just miraculously occur correctly the first time. Likewise, for evolution to be viable, it requires that all incompatible and/or ineffective traits be eliminated from all previously produced iterations. Which, in theory could be possible, if the length of time this planet has existed was increased by quintillions of years.

Evolution is a scientifically disproven farce.

The Pyramid blocks weighed an average of 2.5 tons each, not really that heavy, ramps wouldn't need to be that long and they had something modern man doesn't---time, they had space for ramps & they had the time as well as manpower, the heaviest stone is 80 tons, it was above the kings chamber, if you think about it you'd drag it in place before the build & lift it straight up an edge at a time as the pyramid grew not needing to drag it up ramps, it is all speculation though, our SBS tv had a special last night that showed the Mayan's moving similar blocks to build their pyramids via ramps, levers & manpower, after that show there was one on Ramesses II it showed an estimated 1000 ton statue of him toppled by early Coptic Christians & where it fell didn't have much space, when humans want to build or fuck things they'll find away.
Yes, archeologists do think canals were made in the Nile to move the blocks closer to the work site, just thinking shit up to get shit done.
Here's one guy moving a 20 ton block straight up using just wood, not impossible (at end)

I've seen that guy, fucking amazing what he's doing.

Back to the pyramids: Aliens built them. I stubbornly refuse to accept any other explanation.

 

[Zargonthe great]

I love it. This ancient alien bullshit can findally be laid to rest. Mankind built the Pyrimids, nolt fucking space men. I hate the morons who push the alien tech. nonsense. That's why I stopped watching the History Channel with it's bullshit ancient secrets crap. It's an insult to humankind, as if we would depend on some alien super race.

 

[hedgerow]

we know mere crumbs about ancient history...who knows what really happened

 

[ChaosSpawn]

The text does not mention the specific location of which the stones where going. And because the scrolls have been damaged over time we can't really read and come to an conclusion

i'm sure someone will be seeking reparations for their ancestors enslavement
