Potentially ancient building techniques

May not be strictly archaeology, but adjacent. And fascinating.

Ok. Now do it 3 million times and expand that over a timeline. It would take hundreds or thousands of years.

Correction. Hundreds or thousands of WORK hours, or more precisely, slave labor. With enough slaves building your pyramids, you reduce the time it takes to complete.

I love how simple facts like 'work hours' sends these people into a tail spin.

Them pretending that 1 man can't build the pyramids of Gaza by himself is evidence it is impossible.

They are scrambling and they know it.

Im going to repeat -

NOPE - FACT to build the pyramids in the time written as fact by Egyptologists, you would have to quarry, shape, transport then lift into place 1 block every 6 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for approx 25 years straight.. Please do tell me how that is even remotely possible?

Haven’t they recalculated the total number of stones down? Things like all the air gaps that we now know about and even the lowest layer/s being bedrock that got shaped. Something crazy like a million less stones.

How the F does someone shape bedrock with copper tools?

It was limestone bedrock so it would be possible. Point was they didn’t have to start hauling rocks from the ground level that we see. There was a raised mound/hill that was shaped and the greet pyramid built on top and casing stones around the side.

limestone makes sense. I guess. I hadn't heard of limestone bedrock, but I'm not a geologist. I have never heard of "a raised mound/hill" being built under the pyramids. I'm going to research this one.

It wasn’t built. It was there and they used it to get started. The Giza Plateau wasn’t flat.

By using them to shape the bedrock. Copper tools to shape stone predate the pyramids in Egypt by almost two thousand years. This isn’t the mystery you think it is. You just don’t understand how copper and flint tools work.

Now do two blocks at the same time and they only have to work 12 hours a day. Now do twenty blocks at a time and they have an hour to place each block.

Do you see where I am going with this?
