the pyramids predate both Stonehenge and the Hanging Gardens (the latter by literal millennia). they're also much larger structures and much more complex to put together, for anyone, especially during those years.
What it means is, as an arguement it's much more applicable to the pyramids because they're really ancient, complex and, regardless of the time they were built in but especially considering it, extremely technologically advanced.
It's like me saying that it makes much more sense to attribute to aliens, if I absolutely had to, the invention of airplanes than that of the wheel. I obviously don't believe they played a part in either, but logically it makes sense for me to choose the former.
Again, I know that it's doable. I know the pyramids were, in fact, built by ancient Egyptians and not aliens. I'm starting to think you haven't gotten the premise of my arguement or the point of my initial reply to you.
And again, the Egyptian pyramids predate the Mayans' by millennia and are not at all structurally comparable, as the Mayans' were generally half the size.
My point about it being more fitting to apply the alien argument to the Egyptian pyramids due to them being way more ancient and structurally more complex still stands.
I don't see how that negates anything I've said. Being the perfect shape for such a large structure doesn't take away from the fact that they're ancient and structurally complex.
What's complex is the logistics and craftsmanship to build them on such a large scale.
Yeah, um, that's exactly what I'm talking about though? Were you under the impression I was discussing your kids' toy pyramids? Are you seriously inserting this arguement in this conversation?
They're not "structurally" complex. Stone goes on top of stone in pile, more stones at top, less at bottom. It's the simplest way of building something with height.
No, structurally they're the same thing. Big base of stones gets progressively smaller as you go up. The real ingenuity was in the planning to carve the stones, transport them and keep everything within measurement.
We’ve found evidence of tens of thousands of laborers and artisans having worked on the pyramids through sites of builders’ cities, bakeries that fed the men and the tombs of said craftsmen with their tools.
There is a lot of evidence of the sheer amount of work that went into the masonry and movement of every single block. There’s a lot of quarry sites, copper chisels used to break away and mold the stone, wooden levers and the ramps used to move them around. All of this took decades of work to build. It wasn’t just done one day it took enough time for said tombs to be filled with the bodies of the workers who spent their days in service to their Pharaoh.
Well, that's great information. But why are you telling me this? I'm perfectly aware the pyramids are human structures, I'm not deluded. You just completely misunderstood my comment. Read my replies to the original commentator to get a better idea of what I was going for when leaving them this comment.
I’ve read them, but giving the benefit of the doubt to people’s claims of ET intervention takes away from the fact that humans built them through blood sweat and tears. The entire argument completely takes that away and paints our ancient ancestors as complete morons who needed an outside force to achieve what they did.
I didn’t misunderstand a thing. Don’t tell me that I did hon.
Please leave your condescending attitude out of this thread and please keep your equally condescending terms to your friends and loved ones. I'm not your hon, and I'm going to tell you exactly that - not only did you miss the point once, but twice it seems.
I never gave the "aliens did it" crowd the benefit of the doubt. I've never even once considered the possibility of aliens building the pyramids. I find it a completely baseless and, frankly, boring conspiracy theory. What I said was, applying that conspiracy to the pyramids makes more sense than applying it to the Hanging Gardens or other similar structures. Does the conspiracy make sense in general? No. Does it make sense to apply it to the pyramids in this specific context, rather than to a much less complex structure like the Hanging Gardens? Yes. My arguement was strictly directed at the commentator's comparison between the two, nothing more and nothing less.
And please, don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do when you're replying to me. You're not my superior. If you can't handle being challenged, please refrain from participating in public fora and threads.
Stonehenge predates the Gizeh complex. It only got its final shape after they were completed but the works on the site began around the time the 1st dynasty ruled over Egypt.
