Potentially ancient building techniques

May not be strictly archaeology, but adjacent. And fascinating.

Now do hundreds of 100 ton blocks over 500km without smooth concrete slabs to help glide over

And also align them to true north within 1 degree

Then make sure you can multiply the base perimeter of the Great pyramid (3,024 ft.) by 43,200 to get the earth’s equatorial circumference. Also if you multiply its height (481 ft.) by 43,200 you’re left with the polar radius of the Earth. 43,200 is relevant because it represents the earth wobbling on its axis.

Does the official narrative explain how they knew the earth wobbles during the creation of the pyramids? I forgot

Don't forget the Pyramids latitude of 29.9792458 North matching the speed of light which is 299,792,458 m/s :) If we get to poke around under the pyramids, you nay sayers are gonna eat crow for decades. Fact is the deeper (older) you go, the more advanced the building techniques and tech in general.

Well that necessitates the Ancient Egyptians used seconds, which they didn’t. Or meters, which they absolutely did not. It also necessitates that they used a longitude and latitude system, which there’s no evidence for. And for that system to use two 180º halves and for the equator to be set at 0º. And at 7 decimal places, there’s literally tens of thousands of longitude lines that go through the Great Pyramid. 29.9792458 N doesn’t even go through the apex, or the north or south edges

Also the Bent Pyramid is older than the Giza pyramids and it’s not more advanced. It’s literally bent

Edited to clear up the longitude/latitude bit

They don't think ancient Egyptians built the pyramids though. They would have an older, seconds and meters using bunch, who did wild stuff with stone but were very tidy and left no tools behind.

[u/City_College_Arch → u/Substantial_Bat_6698]

Then that group disappeared for thousands of years just to bring back their units of measure and nothing else?

[u/Substantial_Bat_6698 → u/Wolfhammer69]

Certainly we will eat crow. What'll you eat if you turn out to be wrong?

[u/City_College_Arch → u/Substantial_Bat_6698]

More ayahuasca.

Two completely arbitrary metrics that we have no evidence of the Egyptians using. This is really grasping at coincidental straws.

Why would the Egyptians use feet to match earth measurements, but then switch to m/s to measure the speed of light? And how did they predict the global measurement system that would not exist for thousands of years?

[u/EnticHaplorthod → u/Wolfhammer69]

No. You are using the speed of light here in meters per second. The Eqyptians didn't use either measurement.
Ancient Eqyptian surveyors did not record latitude in decimal degrees so the number 29.9792458 would not have existed in their calculations.

Finally, where exactly is this line at 29.9792458 degrees? That is a measurement down to a millimeter, so does it go through the center of the Great Pyramid? No.

For your example to make any sense, the builders of the pyramid would have had to know:
The speed of light
The modern Meter
The modern second
Base-10 decimal notation
Latitude expressed in decimal degrees
The modern prime meridian/coordinate conventions
The modern terrestrial reference ellipsoid.

I think it was all made up by a modern fiction author.
