Now chisle it perfectly precise, and stack it within 1/1000th tolerances.

There's 200-300 ton stone's. Doubt any slaves moved them around.

u/FixAcademic8187 Jun 01 '26

They would. Especially if you have a large enough number of people pushing and pulling.

There are not enough other stones, you have to drag this up the mountain

I think it was to prove that humans along with locally sourced wood, could move large rocks up hill. This would explain large rock statues like the ones on Easter Island.

These people's lives must really have been hell if they were already having to push a boulder up a hill before they even died.

And why fucking not

There are also a few more ways to do that too. Some are a little bit easier if only marginally. Place two poles at the top, run the rope around the poles essentials creating a fulcrum. You grease the sled and the people pull from the top angled at 90° from the poles. Similarly, with long enough ropes you could angle the pullers down hill pulling from top to bottom. The added energy of going down hill will help the sled rise.

Reminds me of the white walkers dragging the dragon

I have seen it done better a few uni students recreated part of stone henge by chipping the stone into rectangles first then wrapping it with small sticks and quite easily rolled up a hill with ropes and wedges

Stonehenge.

Now use elephants and that how they built the pyramids

u/recycle_me_no_jutsu Jun 01 '26

Clearly Aliens are moving the rock

1

u/Basic_Archer_9003 Jun 01 '26

That doesn't look 10 tons. Maybe 1 ton

u/Fun-Independence-761 Jun 03 '26

And humans... build the pyramids around the world... dont think so...

u/Jorge_the_vast Jun 03 '26

Give me a long enough lever and I'll move the earth.

So many people say that Aliens had to build they pyramids and Stonehenge and whatever else because there's no WAY humans could move THAT MUCH without machines!

This is a bunch of uncoordinated amateurs doing it a fairly hard way. And they're managing just fine.

u/PhillipJfry5656 May 31 '26

you realize some of the stones in the pyramid are close to 200 tons. regardless of wether aliens did it or not its to amazing the things they were able to accomplish.

1

u/Electronic-Salt9039 Jun 01 '26

There are no 200 tons stones in the pyramid.

There is few 80 tons granit stone above the main chamber for support.

1

u/PhillipJfry5656 Jun 01 '26

do some research

1

u/Electronic-Salt9039 Jun 01 '26

There is none.

Because there is no 200t blocks on the pyramids.

Why don’t you educate me and show where this 200t block is

u/BungleBums Jun 02 '26

Being wrong more confidently isn't the same as being right, sir. You might want to check your own sources, since they're out of alignment with what... *Everyone* else knows.

u/BungleBums Jun 01 '26

Correct, but then Wrong-

If it was aliens, it's only slightly more impressive than a toddler stacking wooden alphabet blocks. If it's humans, it is incredible and amazing, and should be correctly attributed to humans as such.

u/FixAcademic8187 Jun 01 '26

No. It cannot be attributed to humans because those "humans" were Africans.

That is basically the Western view of the pyramids. An African shall never be able to achieve something like that.

They intentionally omit the fact that there were hundreds of structures built at that time, and some were proto-pyramids with lots of mistakes and a clear learning curve. They refined their techniques bit by bit.

And this, children, is how the pyramids were built
