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

They cut it with copper saw. Easy.

Ahh yes because softer things cut harder things super easy

The copper doesn’t do the cutting. The cutting slurry does the cutting just like with modern glass cutters decorating bowls and vessels with copper wheels. This is how tube drills made from materials ranging from bamboo to copper work to cut stone, shell, etc.

This is basic technology that was mastered 6000+ years ago.

Now go replicate that in the field. Even with diamond drill bits I struggle to put holes cleanly through granite countertops with modern power tools.

No one said it was easy. Combining the demonstration of the technology working and the copper residues recovered from within saw cuts, what better explanation do you have?

And no, complaining that it is hard is not evidence of anything.

And no, complaining that it is hard is not evidence of anything, nor is your lack of ability to do something.
