That's about a half a cubic foot of stone. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40589882 Suddenly that doesn't sound so far fetched. Do more math. Each block should be put to its correct place every 3 seconds. Remember, not even a thin piece of paper can fit between stones. |

Even today we cannot replicate the fine seams between some of those shaped stones without using power tools. Some of the seams between these huge blocks are so fine that you can barely see them. You cannot achieve that kind of precision with hand held copper tools and plumb bobs. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77769393 United States 08/04/2020 11:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The great pyramid is said to have been built in 20 years. It is also said to weigh 6.5 million tons. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40589882 If we take the aforementioned information as fact then it would mean that workers would have had to quarry, finish, move, and install 1.8 million pounds of stone each and every day of the year for 2 decades. Furthermore, the granite used for everything besides the facade came from 500 miles away. This seems a bit implausible to me. Vast amounts of indirect work would have been required besides just the 1.8 million pounds of rock a day. The tools had to made and the raw materials for them sourced. The workers had to be fed. Barges built and maintained. So on and so on. they found that shit they also found the tunnels under it and the huge granite boxes 100s of feet down its a power station I very very very old power station the grand gallery tells it all whoever built it also built the ruins near lake titicaca |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73282071 The Granite used in the construction of the pyramids was transported from the Aswan Quarry which is over 500 miles away. It's the same quarry which has a 1,100 kg obelisk half cut out of the Granite. Granite is so hard that steel can't cut it (likely wouldn't even mark it) so these days we use power saws which are carbide or diamond tipped. |

They weren't. They weren't as technically advanced in some areas as we are, but may have been more advanced in others. Quoting: nimmerfall Just because you personally can't wrap your brain around something doesn't make it not true. This guy moves massive weights by hand using simple engineering techniques. Now imagine what a whole nation mobilized on a massive national pride project could do. that's awesome. clever guy |

Well there's lot's of evidence that shows the granite used to build the Great Pyramid is the same as the granite in the Aswan Quarry. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77758415 [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Can you summarize it? My internet is slow. Sure. It posits the use of water and flotation to both soften the stones for cutting/shaping/leveling and transport to the site for specific placement. Once the blocks are floated using hollowed wood, papyrus mats or inflated animal bladders the stone can be floated within sealed columns of water up to the working level which is also a contained reservoir which is level by level added upwards. I think that captures the basics of the ideas. Good illustrations and animations of the process on the video. In the middle of Maya jungle with no river near by?? |
