I would love to see someone actually craft granite into perfectly smooth edges & right angles using dolorite pounders. Has anyone ever seen that happen?

[@varyolla435]

Dolerite was employed along with fire to obtain the basic shapes. After that a block could be smoothed via polishing using an abrasive. Also copper can in fact cut granite if you similarly use an abrasive such as sand or corundum. Yes it may be time consuming = but they had the time. There are few granite blocks in the Great Pyramid while the Egyptian engineers would have known how many were required before the first foundation stone was laid. Accordingly the quarry - which like all quarries which would have partially quarried stone on hand as they were in continuous operation after all - would have had literally years to fashion and transport the required stone to Giza before it needed to be placed in the pyramid. Finally they had tools like squares or levels etc. you know = we have examples of them found in tombs as well as depictions of the craftsmen employing them. Just look at the depictions on the tomb walls of Rekhmire as but one example. So it helps if you first learn the history before making assumptions. Just saying.

[@varyolla435]

Google the Science Channel series: If We Built It Today. Among the projects they considered was to duplicate the Great Pyramid. Modern construction companies would be happy to build you a pyramid - an even better one for that matter. It would however be cost prohibitive. To construct a duplicate Great Pyramid made of granite in 5 years would cost several billion dollars today given our economics. Skilled labor costs alone for a workforce of several hundred craftsmen - stonemasons, engineers, etc. - would run into the hundreds of millions of dollars at modern wage scale over the course of a 5 year project cost. Then you have the environmental impact studies etc. while the actual cost of the granite would not be as much as many might assume. Quarries could easily provide the requisite stone and ship it via sea transport to Egypt where the pyramid would be sited. Have a nice day.

[@apricotscroll433]

@@varyolla435 As a Civil Engineer, I can assure you it is not that simple. Many factors come into play during the construction process. For example, the pyramid has 8 sides only visible on the solstices (this alone raises many challenges). In effect, thousands of blocks would have unique dimensions. The years of planning on modern software alone would take 5 years before mere excavation commences. There are about a 100 more obstacles to consider. With much respect, do some research.

Harry A Nope, Egyptians were Egyptians, and nubians were nubians. Egyptians thought of black people as inferior and enslaved them. Facts💪

[@HarryOsirian]

Actually, nubians migrated to Egypt circa 10,000 BC and settled there and became the original inhabitants of Egypt..Also, Egyptians actually never had slaves. The Pharao was their leader and fatherfigure who would rule and protect them and his people were his willing servants. The whole slave-thing has been conjured up to use as a possible narrative as to how the pyramids were built. So-called "historians" (who actually lied about the pyramids being tombs, which is ridiculous!) and "scientists" never figured out who built the pyramids and why.So they resorted to inventing the storyline about the pharao's people as slaves and constructing the pyramids without rhyme or reason. There is so much i could tell you about the pyramids (i'm half Egyptian by the way) but suffice it to say that there is a lot more going on than what people want us to believe. The energy from the pyramids can be measured.No tombs, but sources of antigravity and freeflowing energy. People have been assasinated trying to get to the bottom of this. The oil-industry, the energy industry as a whole have a vast interest in us not finding out that progress is absolutely not linear! The same configuration of pyramids can be found in Mexico, China (the Chinese authorities never mention this!) and even submerged underwater. Did those "slaves" work in scuba-gear as well? ;-)

They are not sure simply because we can't take them apart to know exactly how it was done.

In the construction of the Great Pyramid, there are approximately 2,300,000 stone blocks weighing an average of 2.5 tons each (they range from 2 to 70) which is said to have been built as a ‘tomb’ (despite no body ever being found in it) in just 20 years. That means installing one block every 5 minutes for 24 hours and day, 7 days a week, non-stop for 20 years. This does not include the cutting and shaping, quarrying, or breathtaking multi-angle precision placements of these megaliths. Within this construction, over 160,000 tons of pink granite were transported from over 800km away. Pulled by ropes and logs? We could not overcome these logistics, or build the pyramid in such a timeframe today. It’s base is situated precisely along the four cardinal points: North, South, East and West with an average error of only around three minutes of arc which represents an infinitesimal deviation from true of less than 0.015 per cent. The ratio of its circumference to its original height is equal to the value of pi: 3.14, which it is claimed they knew nothing about as it wasn’t ‘discovered’ for another thousand years. The Great Pyramid’s base is at 1:43,200 which is a mathematical representation of the northern hemisphere (which, of course, we are told they knew nothing about). The list of architectural miracles within this construction is extensive, and this isn’t even scratching the surface. So, we’re expected to believe that a bunch of people using copper, stones, logs and ropes built this with no real understanding of mathematics, architecture, surveying, or any number of sciences which we rely on 100% for the most simple constructions today. They did it at a rate which is far beyond anything we can, even with all our machines, and they did it with a precision which we could not replicate without laser guided, computer controlled industrial equipment. Clearly, we’ve been fed an enormous lie. This was done by a people with knowledge greater than ours, for a purpose beyond our puerile social dictates of materialism and making money. If we understood who did this, when, and why, our entire worldview would change so radically that society itself would transform. And that is exactly why in 2018 we’re still getting taught the same old lies.

Here's my rebuttal of this (and all) videos I've seen on the Giza pyramid construction: Based on construction timelines I've read, it requires that one block be set in place every single minute. Very quick math, assuming some approximate ‘facts’ about construction: 1) 10 hour work days, 4 months per year, over a 30 year period. 2) 2,300,000 blocks. Approx. total man-minutes: 600min/day x 120days x 30years = 2,160,000 total man-minutes to build. 2,160,000min / 2,300,000 blocks = 0.94min per block, so let's call it one block, fully in place, every single minute. Seems utterly impossible, especially given the presumably single-file bottleneck up the ramps at the pyramid site (assuming ramps of some description were indeed used). Even working 24/7 for 30 years requires one block in place every 7 minutes…a staggering feat in and of itself. But one block per minute? No way, says I.

The stones above the Kings chambers weighed 75 tones that’s about 150,000 pounds. Not only that they are raised hundreds of feet above the ground. Physics tells you that to get those stones up there you would need a several mile long ramp. So if you thinks ramps were used to stack these stones you’re crazy.

[@lefyre1266]

The Lateran Obelisk weighs 450 tons, yet the Romans brought it all the way from Karnak Egypt, and put in *on top* of a 40ft concrete tower base, in the center of Rome, where it stands today. With no modern equipment. It's very possible to move and lift large blocks with just ropes, counterweights, and a little bit of engineering. Simulations show a counterweight sled, slid down the 26° "Grand Gallery" would in turn pull up the 75 ton blocks up a 26° opposite ramp to that level. The ramp wouldn't even need to be external, but could semi-internally cut through the pyramid like a canyon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnaWaoqchreNgpY Explains everything, and the need for the hight of the counterweight ramp "grand gallery" Years ago, in relation to this explanation, it was said that the grand gallery wasn't high enough to act as a counterweight ramp for the final top blocks of the "relieving chambers" and gabled roof blocks. They predicted there should be a second counterweight ramp above the first, for this, but there was no evidence. However, later, interestingly muon imaging detected another chamber, of the exact dimensions of the "grand gallery" directly above it, thereby solving that final issue. It would make engineering sense to leave this second higher gallery intact, rather than fill it in, as it would act as a weight relieving cavity, decreasing the vertical weight above the lower gallery.

[@varyolla435]

Actually the King's Chamber is only around ~43 meters above ground level while the chamber itself is about 7 meters in height. Thus the roof of the chamber is about 150 feet above ground level while the relieving chambers which are not very high as you must sit in them as there is not enough room to stand are above that level. That means they rest around 200 feet and below in height. 200 feet is not that high actually as it is merely about 65 meters. Anyways as noted by Lefyre it is quite possible to raise heavy blocks via an earthen ramp to a height of 65 meters or so. Also for future reference the ramp need not have gone all the way to the top of the structure for the simple fact that above the level of the King's Chamber the blocks get smaller in size as the pyramid rises in height. Google photos of the top of the Great Pyramid where people climbed it to take selfies. Note how the blocks are small enough to have been slid into place by several men. Thus the largest/heaviest blocks are actually found in the bottom third of the pyramid = or closest to the ground. Those would have been raised via the earthen ramp which need only go that high. Above that level the smaller blocks could have been raised via the lever device Herodotus wrote of which was likely a lever employing a fulcrum and counterweight which would have sat upon the "steps" Herodotus also wrote of as he wrote they first built a "stepped pyramid" ala Djoser before completing the sides. Also given the smaller block size at the upper levels smaller ancillary ramps made from mud bricks also might have been employed to raise the blocks as we see examples of both earthen and mud brick ramps in Egyptian construction. So the physics is not crazy after all since coincidentally Egyptologists work with subject-matter experts in construction such as engineers etc. who concluded it was possible after all. So follow the evidence rather than assuming and wasting time trying to rationalize incredulity. Better luck next time.

[@i-craftsdesign3175]

Could you comment on Jean-Pierre Houdin's internal ramp theory and how the Grand Gallery was used as the "lift shaft" to put the stone blocks over the King's Chamber? Lots of evidence on site to support this theory too.

[@varyolla435]

Simple things for simple minds = it is rubbish of course. The "internal ramp" nonsense was debunked several years ago when the muon scans failed to show any evidence necessary to support such a claim. Even Brier who co-wrote the book with Houdin admitted they had gotten it wrong. So there is absolutely zero evidence - credible or otherwise - to support the Egyptians building things that way. All the evidence supports external ramps - to include the remains of actual ramps in Egypt using to build things which were abandoned in place. On a side note. What seals the ascending passage??? Answer: granite plugs. So would it not be more plausible that a wooden framework sat in the Gallery - not to raise blocks for the relieving chambers which rest higher than the Gallery = but instead to retain the granite plugs until they were released upon closing the tomb. Then the wooden framing could be disassembled and removed via the workmen's escape tunnel along with the workers who seal the tomb. Think about it.

Further while Brier is an Egyptologist = his background is not in the pyramids not Egyptian construction techniques. As with other professions there are various sub-disciplines which specialize in facets of the field. Conclusion: other Egyptologists who do specialize in the pyramids have rejected his claims. Further when the muon scans revealed no evidence to support the Brier/Houdin hypotheses = even Brier admitted they got it wrong as noted. So it does not matter how "plausible" something may appear on the surface or the background of who makes the claim if what is being asserted bears no real relation to the evidence at hand. p.s. - cranes tend to be higher than what is wanted to be lifted - not lower. Thus the Grand Gallery area is lower than what is presumed it helped to build. So it is known they built atop an existing hillside - some of which is visible at the exposed western face if the pyramid. A long ledge of limestone bedrock upon which other blocks were stacked can be seen there. So what is more plausible is this natural elevation was part of the ramp used to make the inner chambers/corridors = and that was covered over with more blocks. Some estimate up to ~23% of the pyramids volume is likely natural bedrock. The lower tunnels/chamber were cut from it as we see. The main quarry was to the south and the southern and western faces are the closest to that area. The area to the east and north is steep drop-offs.

[@varyolla435]

Too expense at the economics of today. Also = what would it prove??? Perhaps it is time to "think more broadly" here to recognize that as interesting as the pyramids are it was their creation which was actually of greater historical value. In order to build a large pyramid the Egyptians had to create a massive infrastructure network to supply the men and raw materials to accomplish the task. So think railroads. A locomotive is certainly an interesting device. Yet the creation of railroads resulted in new communications lines being developed + the ability to move people and goods about more freely + and the creation of subsidiary towns and industries built around the creation of the railroads. That is of far more historical as well as sociological/economic value than a simple train and some tracks. Look beyond the actual structures to consider the totality of what went into creating them. By Egypt undergoing its "pyramid age" that resulted in a more unified and prosperous country - at least for a time. Something new to think about.

[@cattansonyeondan]

We do not know how the pyramids were built. We don't know how anything back then really came about. We have theories and debates over it but we will never truly know cause none of us were there to witness it and no one actually recorded it in detail and if they did, we haven't found much. The Egyptians were extremely smart and had the knowledge to figure things out that today our society would have struggled to do. Egyptology is more than art and storytelling, it is also full of secrets as to how people one lived and how their inventions and discoveries, impact us today.

[@stevederp9801]

What people don’t seem to realize is that the pharoh was basically a living god to these people. When he asked them to do this they were commanded as a religious force to build it as a way to get to heaven. What’s not talked about is the majority of these stones were about 2 tons about 4 feet wide and 4 feet tall. There are countless videos of a group of 8 people flipping a car which is the same weight. The pace would be about 300 stones a day over 20 years which a group of 100,000 people could absolutely accomplish. The other thing to consider is that this was also likely a way to avoid military conscription. A man could choose to either join the military or could choose to build the pyramids. The reality is that the size of their work force would make it so that only one stone had to be moved per person every year. In many ways if you can imagine a group of 10 men working together. It’s almost a religious act that they work together to move their stone into place. The backdrop of a pyramid rising over the years as a religious act of worship would have brought amazing pride and joy to all of those who worked on it. Knowing that you were apart of this great work would have helped connect society show to the other groups of people around them their greatness and power. I also believe that this was meant to be a beacon to the world around them of how powerful their society was. In many ways it’s the best deterrent to any attack from other groups.

As he said, they didn’t cut the stone blocks with copper saws! - they chipped them bit by bit with a harder stone. The Incas shaped stone blocks very precisely in the same way.

[@varyolla435]

Except that there is evidence to support the Egyptians as using both bronze tools along with gneiss stone ones. Perhaps next time you should not assume and instead = see the evidence out there. There are tomb depictions of Egyptian craftsmen using weighted copper saws as well as tubular saws along with a bow drill. Further there are artifacts unearthed in Egypt which were created in part using tubular drills and in the drill holes was copper residue along with corundum - Mohs scale 9. Finally in museums are actual Egyptian copper saws. So there is iconography as well as physical evidence to support copper tool use as well as stone tools for the Egyptians. What we see with the Inca are the quarries themselves and partially quarried stone - but no actual tools per se or depictions of tools being employed. Based upon what we see you can deduct the Inca used stone to shape stone - but not metal alloy tools such as the Egyptians had.

I keep waiting for the common-sense construction solution: Most likely ramps were fitted to the sides and pulleys were used to counterweight and lift the blocks up the steep angle - 52 degrees.

If a positive outcome is achieved then proceed to the ramp problem and prove that the team could drag a sled carrying the block up the required incline.

[@romliahmadabdulnadzir1607]

The answer is obvious and easy to work out. The input of geology and geophysics, which lie within the domain of Geotechnical Engineering, is indispensible in archeology. Geophysical investigations are one of the primary tools used in detection of buried monuments. Geology can provide invaluable help to enhance the survival of old monuments especially if they are built from stone or rest on rock. In my opinion, the same geotechnical aspects of Engineering can be adopted not only in detection of the reasons for the vanishing of some monuments but to investigate the reasons behind the long “good” performance and survival of some old pyramids. Therefore, to explore the Geotechnical Engineering in the Great Egyptian Pharaonic Civilization will be the answer because Egypt and the Pyramids are, to many, synonymous. Millions of people travel from all over the world to see the Egyptian Pyramids, the largest stone structures ever built. They are considered by many to be the greatest buildings ever constructed. No certain conclusions have ever been reached in this regard even with the modern investigations especially the stability of the Giza Pyramids including its associated geotechnical aspects. Regardless of the unsolved riddles for the reason for building the Pyramids and the technique(s) employed to build these massive structures, different geotechnical failures would have been inevitable had the Pharaohs chosen to build the Pyramids along the Nile valley where they lived. It is amazing to note that the maximum static stress under the Greater Pyramids is about 3500 kPa; yet this huge stress value did not entail any observed or likely foundation failure (bearing capacity or excessive settlement). Geological studies (Said, 1990) show that the huge monuments of the fourth dynasty of the plateau of Giza are built on a sedimentary sequence that consists mainly of carbonate rock formations deposited in a marine environment of variable depths. These sedimentary layers have the characteristics of the Mokattam formation and Madi formation, from Middle to Late Eocenne age which is formed of masive limestones and dolomites. This formation is considered a suitable foundation that can safely support the massive rock structure. Interestingly, mappings of tectonic structures found in the chamber to avoid the fragility veins involved in the chamber.The builders again integrated the fault surface into the design of the chamber, and may even have adjusted the height of the ceiling accordingly to be precision of the chamber for the storage energy purposes and related to safety radiations, short circuits from electrical wiring, temperature differentiation of the rocks, moisture control and etc.. in other words, effective sealing utmost important in chamber engineering design. The Ancient Egyptians left a wealth of knowledge behind them that we are still don't know and trying to reveal. Geology is the base of geotechnical engineering. The Ancient Egyptians knew geology and made use of it. They drew the geological and topographic map, identifying different lithological units. Their knowledge of geology allowed them to mine, tunnel, quarry and make best use of rock discontinuities as well as avert/accommodate many distressing effects on their tunnels and extracted rock blocks. Choice of locations for their great buildings and temples was a geotechnical marvel. Also refer to for moving the rocks into height and landing (proper levitation technology) by applying the rock cycle activated from the energy stored in the chamber inside the pyramid with the help of electrons or electricity to keep the rock moving, remotely prior to landing powered by the sun. Refer to :opentextbc.ca/geology/chapter/3-1-the-rock-cycle/ and analogous to water.usgs.gov/edu/gallery/watercyclekids/sun-earth.html.

An alien race could probably have had started as little as 1,000 years before we did and they could have intergalactic travel and the means to visit earth right now or even time travel. Again, this is all hypothetical, but likely given the scale of the universe. How ever I would like to point out that just because aliens with advanced technology and the ability to travel faster then light and possibly even time travel are very likely, that dose not say anything about weather or not they visited earth or even built the pyramids.

The Khufu contains more than 2 million blocks of stone. If it were built in 20 years that means 100,000 blocks had to be put into place a year. That translates into about 270 blocks a day, 24/7. 270 blocks a day means about 11 blocks an hour. Most of these blocks weighed more than 2 tons. If you have ever worked in construction (or masonry) you would begin to see the problems here.
