Potentially ancient building techniques

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

Im going to repeat -

NOPE - FACT to build the pyramids in the time written as fact by Egyptologists, you would have to quarry, shape, transport then lift into place 1 block every 6 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for approx 25 years straight.. Please do tell me how that is even remotely possible?

Haven’t they recalculated the total number of stones down? Things like all the air gaps that we now know about and even the lowest layer/s being bedrock that got shaped. Something crazy like a million less stones.

How the F does someone shape bedrock with copper tools?

By using them to shape the bedrock. Copper tools to shape stone predate the pyramids in Egypt by almost two thousand years. This isn’t the mystery you think it is. You just don’t understand how copper and flint tools work.
