Yeah, the pyramids definitely has nothing to do with Egypt enslaving entire nations...
Anything is possible with slave labor. Just look at how lucrative the diamond industry is.

Or is trolling on drugs.

I don't care if you have a billion slaves at your disposal; if they can't replicate the structures with modern technology, how did massive quantities of human slaves, stack blocks that weigh up to 80 tons, 450 ft. high, with immaculate precision? What did they do, a human slave Jenga tower with everyone standing on each other's shoulders and use papyrus ropes to pull the 80 ton blocks up to the top? If you believe that, then I have a bridge to sell to you.

If I didn't love to argue, I would be best to follow his advice. A famous Greek historian Herodotus wrote he was told that 100k men built the pyramids over twenty years. It is unclear if this was the men on the site like how a building has construction workers, but there are many people making construction materials for the workers on site and bringing it to them. There would need to be men to feed these mens and so on. Let's say there were 100k construction workers who were delivered rocks from quarries that they had to form and move into position. There are 2.3 million stones, so each man would be responsible for roughly one stone each year to reach 2.3 million stones after twenty years. Working in teams of 365 (365 days a year), each team could be responsible for creating a stone per day and moving it into position. This doesn't seem all that hard. The casing stones are snug, but the main stones are not even close to snug. We 100% have the technology to make the pyramids. You would have to be severely ignorant to believe we can't make the pyramids to better levels of craftsmanship. You have watched too many videos without doing your own research if you believe that. There are tons of theories like an inner ramp theory, theories that the stones are actually cast concrete and not actual stones, but it really doesn't matter because nothing they did was magical in any way. These were master stones smiths who had been perfecting their skills for years. Moving stones takes time and manpower, and they had lots of that. But it doesn't really take much manpower with proper leverage like these two men prove: https://historydaily.org/how-did-one...castle-alone/7

I just thought you were part of MTG jewish space lasers group. I see. You just think drones are burning down homes because forest fires are just too basic to be the cause of things burning, and you are ignorant to about fire science, but I'm getting the feeling you are probably ignorant about a lot of science. That's okay. We can explain things to you if you need clarification.

"Outer space is science fiction." I'm trying to wrap my head around what that even means to you because it makes zero sense to anyone who understands the definition of outer space. There are legends that the people of Easter Island would walk the Moai statues into position. That sounds even more like a wild story than people forming and painstakingly moving these stones...until you see people walk these statues: You clearly have some type of schizotypal personality disorder with this type of thinking. You have clearly been lost down some deep hole of conspiracy theories where you no longer have the ability to reason, judge or perceive your world for how it is. This is like the flat earthers convinced the world is flat thinking they have their eyes that are wide open and everyone else are idiots and ignorant, but clearly, they have lost themselves in aspects of evidence bias, conspiracy theories and misinformation, so much so, that they block credible information and clear facts because it doesn't fit their world view. There are people that can help you man. Counselors. Programs. Mental healthcare through your medical insurance. 1-800 numbers. Hope you seek out some help. ![]() ![]()
