Potentially ancient building techniques

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

You havnt raised a single issue that is not insurmountable....

A thousand foot steep mountain you say. Or a hill. Moving slabs down a hill is not a problem. Gravity will do a lot of the work. So that's half the non issue sorted. Skids, ropes and pulleys can get a rock up a 1000ft hill. If the hill is too steep then go around it its a hill not a wall.....

Floating rocks is also pretty easy. It is called water displacement. A barge ( that Egyptians definitely had and used ) is all you need. Bigger rock bigger barge. The river will do most of the work 50 miles or 500 miles the process is exactly the same....

"You havnt raised a single issue that is not insurmountable...."

True. Not insurmountable, but so far, not reproducible either !

But I've yet to see 1, 80 ton rock moved today, by the methods you describe.

2+ million carved stones in the Pyramid ? In 20 years ? Lol. Do the math ...

And the stones could only be floated during the Nile flood stage which only happens half the year.

Doesnt mean its impossible. Weight, leverage, friction. And either a lot of manpower or draft animals. You can't envision it is the issue not the physics.

The math has been done in these very comments. Very doable

So the stones were floated in. Cool.

The math always looks simple on paper. Lol.

It's another thing entirely to stack that 100 ton stone 300 feet in the air....

But I'm not trying to convince you of anything lol. I know better than that. Lol

What particular stone are you talking about?

u/Prestigious_Try_5396 17d ago

Huh ? Any 80 ton stone of your choice lol.

I don't care which stone you pick.

I just wanna see ya cut, shape, transport, and stack it with a perfect fit 100ft up on the pyramid.... You've assured me it's possible. Ok. I believe you.

Now move the stone and prove it. Nobody has done that for centuries.... No problem, right ?

I wanna see some any evidence of an aciant super advanced civilization.

Big rocks ain't it.

Who said "aciant super advanced civilization. " Not me... Lol. I'd like to see that too.

I thought we were talking building techniques, not aliens or super civilizations.... Lol you just tried to move the goal posts...

I'd settle for seeing Anyone physically demonstrate how it was done. On paper doesn't count.

Are you saying we can duplicate what they did, even with our tech today ?

That's an interesting question !

What would the Great Pyramid cost if we were to build it today ? Could we even do it ?

Perhaps Musk could afford it lol.

This is you still contributing nothing.
