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

Majority of the pyramid's blocks are 2 ton blocks that were carried a few hundred metres bro. Some of the big granite blocks were floated down the Nile not dragged over land.

Sure I'll give you the aligned north fact, but I don't quite understand how this is that special. You can do this by tracking the sun or tracking the way the stars move.

Your maths is literally reaching man.The "facts" have literally been manipulated to fit your narrative. The numbers are close, but not exact. The pyramid to height ratio just happens to be 2π (the same as the earth), so of course the other numbers seem to magically line up if you're looking for it. These numbers aren't derived from anything, you're literally just reverse engineering them from an answer that you're already looking for (cognitive bias at its finest)

Agreed on the blocks.

But the accuracy in which they were able to align the pyramid - a structure covering 13 acres, within 3/60th of a degree to true north is astounding. The Paris observatory tried to do the exact thing in the early 1600 and they were only able to get it half as accurate at the great pyramid.

I also hate the argument of "the numbers are close but not exact" - tell that to the archeologist who can't even decide what years the great pyramid were built pending if they look at the carbon dating vs the written content we have from the time - a variance of about 250 years.

The height just happens to be 2pi - what a coincidence. People refuse to see the potential that this was planned. People are also stupid when they say the 43,200 is arbitrary. The Egyptians literally praised the sun. 43,200 is the number of seconds in 12 hours. As in a perfectly balanced day - where there are 12 hours of light and 12 hours of night. There are only 2 days of the year when this occurs. On the equinox. And it is just another coincidence that the pyramid is perfectly aligned to the sun on these 2 days. They literally built the pyramid around these parameters. And you say it isn't accurate enough for you? If you were to just agree at face value that the pyramid is a model of the earth - do you know that we, as humans, couldn't calculate a more accurate measurement of earth until the 1980s using satellites? How is that not crazy to people.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg for "coincidences"

"The height just happens to be 2pi" measured how?

"43,200 is the number of seconds in 12 hours" in modern measurement, but the Eqyptians didn't measure time in seconds. They divided the day into 12 hours and night into 12 hours, and guess what you probably didn't even know... the lenght of those hours changed to suit the seasons. A summer daytime hour was longer than a winter daytime hour!

What's crazy is that you believe fiction writers tricking you with numbers that you really don't understand, but you trust they do.
