Why are the pyramids in Egypt?
spoiler
Because they didn’t fit in a British museum.
This entire theory only exists because schools failed to properly teach the concept of leverage…
Nah, It is hubris by modern idiots “I’m too stupid to realise how they did it” and I know “Ancient people (especially brown ones…) were backward savages” Therefore they only way they could have been made is ALIENS!!!
Why does racism always get injected into it, I’m pretty sure EVERYONE in the past was a fucking idiot. White people in the god damn 70’s breathed in lead paint and voted for Reagan, of course I think they’re idiots!
I’m pretty sure ANYONE living in BC times wasn’t a very bright crayon. Fuck the Ancient Greeks believed gods lived on a Mountain that was literally easily accessible enough for any motherfucker to climb and see there are no gods on it. That’s how dumb those shmucks were.
And how many times in history did people thinks that bathing was bad for you because it invited demons of illness, so instead they should just use powder? Too many times! Hell I’m sure me one month ago was demonstrably dumber than me in the present, if somehow you could put us together.
Humans are only good at one thing, getting smarter over time, and we’re not even very good at that given that it’s funny how dumb we are.
There seems to be a legitimate basis for the racism angle, intentional or not. This random article is one of many that delve into it.

It was maybe 10 or 15 years ago I saw a YouTube video where a guy built a “Stonehenge” by himself, and explained how everything worked. I always knew how leverage worked, and never cared to think about how the pyramids were actually built, but once the two came together it was a massive “ooooohhhhhhhh…”
Not that I ever believed aliens did it, I just didn’t know.
I mean… we still don’t know how they did build the pyramids though. I mean the great pyramid of Giza mostly.
We have no records of it being build, and no archeological remains of tools or anything like it.
The closest we have are for the step pyramids and for reconstructions done millennium after.
The only thing we say with any certainty about it is that it was build by Kuffu, but that’s probably bullshit as that’s only based on a “graffiti” left in a random stone inside the pyramid.
Like the fact the great pyramid has no hieroglyphs is pretty weird in itself. Most other pyramids, specially later ones, were meticulously filled with hieroglyphs detailing the pharaoh’s reigns and the building of the pyramids or other monuments/great works…
We also don’t have evidence how they built a lot of the stone hinges that delivered around England. But there seems to be consensus that they won’t built by aliens.
We know they had ropes and pulleys in ancient Egypt at the time so it’s not that hard to understand how they were constructed.
We know ropes and pulleys wouldn’t be enough lmao
There are millions of blocks of stone, weighting tonnes each, precisely cut and placed. You would have to place something like 30 blocks an hour, cut and shaped from quarries miles away, for 30 years straight without pauses.
And people don’t even think about the foundation stones that weight HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of tonnes. We, nowadays, with heavy machines and modern ropes and pulleys, can’t move stones anywhere close to those.
I agree they weren’t built by aliens. But comparing Stone Henge to the great pyramid is INSANE!
It’s sandstone not granite, there’s no way that the ground stone weigh “thousands of tonnes”. Where are you getting your numbers from?
I’m not sure I’m with your maths there. There’s 2.3 million stones, divided by 30 years that’s 76,667 blocks a year, divided by 365 days that’s 210, so your 30 blocks an hour estimate is only a 7 hour working day.
The largest stones used in the construction are estimated at up to 80 tonnes, definitely not hundreds or thousands. There have been plenty of practical experiments with blocks that size using their known technology and it works fine, nevermind modern technology.
4500 years.
Built in 2500BC, they were more ancient to Cleopatra, than Cleopatra is to us.
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

According to this, they were indeed built by aliens.
