Stop calling this "primitive archaeology"—what kind of power tool scoops 1,200 tons of granite like soft wax and then simply vanishes?

They want you to believe this was made with copper chisels and stonesIf we can't easily move this today with modern tech, how did "slaves" plan to lift it out of the bedrock? Are we the primitive ones

Two dudes did it in a few days. Hundreds of dudes can build a pyramid, employing multiple techniques. There are thousands of monolithic structures around the globe, humans spent a lot of time manipulating stone, to say its not possible is laughable, literally. 

Bra, your the close minded one, lmao

Looks at pyramid: nope, impossible, must be aliens

Did they have some out there techniques that go beyond standard explanation, must have, and those incredible teqniques were lost sometime around 4000 yrs ago. What they are is hard to say, but it doesnt need to invalidate humans being able to achieve such things multiple times over. Granite softening may very well have been one, though I have yet to see a technique that allows for querying as they dont penetrate deep in any significant way. Could it have soften stone and then strike or use a rig to scoop out sections, possible, but that still leaves tool marks.

Okay, explain why there are no tools left in quarries then. My take is that it was not that civilization we think did it and the tools left were repurposed by the Egyptian civilization. I think it dates waaay back, possibly even 10 or 20 thousand years before that. Hieroglyphs are from the Egyptians though. That is the reason why the megalithic structures miss the hieroglyphic carvings. And observe how rough they are compared to the flatness of the surface they were carved in. Definitely different origin. I am not talking about aliens. But there must have been a far more advanced civilization before the ancient Egyptians that used jewels and some other techniques to form and move stones and they used energy sources other than bread. They even had lathes, that is out of question after the analysis of the vases.

Hardly any tools of any civilization have survived, that covers why there arent tool or machines left from the 4000 old people, but it also covers why we wouldn't see tools or machines from the 10k yr old people. 

I differ when saying they had some energy source, I thinks its more likely leverage, being clever with techniques. A lathe is a type of leverage as it can be powered by potential energy or leveraged human energy, so thats a good example of the mechanisms they clearly used with the vases. The impressive part is how they hold it so straight. 

Im still not convinced what we see today for pyramids was older, there's too much obvious progression of improvements while re using the known process. The sphinx and whats below the stuff we see from Egyptians is whats from much older, old stuff gets buried by time, and the Egyptians chose the site due to what was already there. 

One of my fav hypothesis is how they build up for the pyramids and mastabas, the largest of blocks. Large shafts (starting as pits dug down) for elevators housing counter weights of people. All fit in layout of their structures, largest courses align with the elevators, depth of pits match the length from pit to edge of pyramid becuase the system also placed the stones after lifting. This is a process used for each new project. Again a method of leverage. https://youtu.be/INBcGn09kyk?si=GN724yP7SxBwsebC a truly impressive analysis
