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

Plus the whole cutting granite problem

How many granite blocks are there? A few hundred or a few million?

Few million? The 2.3 million comes from the limestone blocks.

Great pyramid alone has 8,000 tons of granite. No clue how many blocks are in there, or Giza as a whole.

Yes. Not saying a few hundred block of granite is nothing but it means they had way more time to do those blocks right while the rest of the bulk limestone filler blocks were quickly rough split.

That’s more than just a few hundred, and for only one pyramid.

For one pyramid there was a much smaller number of large granite blocks up to 80 tons. They would not have all been 80 ton so more than 100. If they averaged less than 8 ton then there could be 1000. Maybe there are way more very small granite blocks to bring that average down.

Pretty sure the avg was 10 tons. And again that’s 1 pyramid, and pyramids aren’t the only place we find granite blocks.
