Excuse me, they're 'job creators.'

Damn Goa'uld.

But it wasn't slave labour. It was constructed by highly skilled craftsman who seemingly enjoyed better living standards than their non-pyramid constructing equivalents.

Nah, it's just good old fashioned legacy colonial racism.

Maybe that's what they mean when they say we couldn't build the pyramids with modern technology. Not nearly enough slaves.

Except they weren't built by slaves...

Love her humour. It's impossible not to cringe while watching but at the same time it's captivating.

Imagine the customs fee on that

... who had licensed them from the Toltecs.

Wouldn’t that be from the top up?

Maybe you do

This fact was knocking around my brain already and I suspect I have Destin Sandlin to thank for it.

Found an Australian.

Axel strength, and I think I've heard they likely used loose sand as "lubricant". (Do not do this in other situations)

For most monuments, yea. But in building these all the workers had 3 monthish stints, were fully paid, and had lodgings near the worksite!

Common misconception, the pyramids were built by workers who got paid in beer and food, after the fields were planted and they had nothing but idle time. They even had the first strike in recorded history

The ‘top-down’ construction method was used, which allowed the first 23 stories to be built before the basement was fully excavated.

So it was aliens, got it.

I think it was aliens! Actually not really but a tiny bit maybe. And not that aliens built them, but that knowledge of how to do certain things came from aliens or even earlier humans and maybe was lost (ok I've been watching too much Why Files).

The reason why for me is the large stone size. Understanding simple geometry is one thing, sure, but moving thousands of multi-ton blocks miles and stacking them with precision is another. If it's so easy, I'd like to see a demonstration. We should be able to do it in a year or so by now right?

Also, I find it interesting that we can see with satellites roads used thousands of years ago buried by the Amazon, why doesn't there seem to be remnants of the roads and massive ramps that it's claimed were used to transport these massive blocks for the decades it took to build the pyramids? Also, I'd imagine a massive earthen ramp large enough to do the job would put a good amount of force on the pyramid that could push blocks out of position but that doesn't seem to have happened.

But did the ancient Egyptians pump up the jam?
