Great Pyramids - Man Made? or...?

[THE REED]

lol im like thats your conclusion?

It makes you think what the hell was going on back then. From what I've been reading there's very little knowledge as to how these were built. No hieroglyphics or anything & these would be something to brag about.

A man in England recreated Stonehenge, for many years people thought it was impossible to do with the tools fo the time...one mand recreated it.

He used levers and pullies to pull the stones into holes in the ground he had dug and then used the pullies again to stand them upright. You mean to tell me that a group of Japanese engineers couldn't douplicate the pyramids, yet we have sky sc****rs that alomst defy physics???

I know that all the details of building pyramids is still a mystery but to say someone else helped them is founded on nothing more that specualtion and a vivid imagination.

I guarantee you 99.99% of egyptologist's dismiss the idea that "aliens" helped them build the pyramids.

I guess the aliens built the pyramids in Mexico, South america and other parts of the world as well???

Nice story but I just don't buy it.

Ya but its a little different when ur using steal beams and cranes then it is using 50 ton blocks of stone and rope

I never said that aliens built them. But from what I know & read it seems no one knows who really built them unless you talking to conventional Egyptologists. With the technology that was available back then, I don't think the Egyptians could've built them. Here's another link that adds to people's misconception about how easily the pyramids were built.

[Knicksman20]

Here's an excerpt:

"Many authors have written about the mystery of the pyramids without putting their fingers on the real mystery. The REAL mystery is the question of how the Great Pyramid was built. This one germane mystery has spawned controversial theories and claims of all kinds.

Some of these ideas have become popular because the accepted theories established by Egyptology do not solve the enigma of pyramid construction.

For instance, the 1992 PBS NOVA film titled This Old Pyramid convinced some viewers that building the Great Pyramid was relatively easy. The Egyptian Pyramid Mystery Is Solved! exposes the truth about the NOVA film."

The Public Broadcasting System (PBS) science series "NOVA" later attempted and filmed the construction of a much smaller pyramid. The NOVA program is titled This Old Pyramid, and it first aired as a 90-minute special over PBS stations on November 4, 1992. NOVA's goal was to address unresolved problems of constructing the Great Pyramid. NOVA incorporated fewer than 200 one- and two-ton blocks into an unfinished 18-foot high mini-pyramid.

The NOVA film repeatedly states that their workers used only ancient means to build the mini-pyramid, and the film implies this throughout. But only three or four one-ton stones, needed for the on-camera demonstration, were raised up the mini-ramp manually. The rest were hauled and placed with a front-end loader, a construction vehicle with a hydraulically operated scoop in front."

You can continue reading but to make a long story short PBS never corrected this.

That's the only benefit? Like isn't FIIIINE bitches a benefit?

Matt, thanks for the link. I thought it was an English man but he's American from Flint, Michigan.

The man moved a 1,600 lb block like it was a feather and erected a 20,000 lb stone (9 tons) by himself. So, an ancient civilization that performed brain surgery, had the technology to preserve people for thousands of years and create art work with such precision that we still marvel at it today, needed little green people from Mars to help them build the pyramids....

these people write books to SELL them so you buy into the hype. Saying that any ancient culture couldn't hav built these incredible structures is insulting to them and their history.

So, an ancient civilization that performed brain surgery, .

The egyptians didn't perform brain surgery. In fact despite their knowledge of human anatomy being hugely advanced thanks to the embalming process their notions of the causes of disease were based on their observations of nile irrigation. The Egyptians believed that illness was caused by blocked irrigation channels in the body... The only think they did that was akin to brain surgery was removing the brains of people they were embalming through their nose.

Well I think it’s almost certain they were built by Egyptians. There whole culture was based around death. In 1,000 years time people will probably say the same thing about some of our buildings. It’s all a conspiracy

Just because this one guy moved that one block doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to the Great Pyramid. The blocks on it (The GP) weigh from 2.5 tons-50 tons. That vid doesn't show how long it took him move it. Even if the Egyptians did it that way how precise would the placement be? You'd have damaged blocks more than likely & it would take a helluva lot longer than 3 minutes per block (over a 23-24 period) which is the estimate Egyptologists say. Then you have issues in regards to the tools used. Traditional Egyptologists say that they used copper tools in cutting the blocks. After geologists & scientists did stress tests with the granite blocks & copper tools available they came to find that the copper wasn't strong enough to make those precise cuts. The blade would be dulled after a very little usage. Their are many inconsistencies in how these experts think they were built but to think it would be so easy is completely false. So to me the bottom line isn't just erecting the blocks; it's PRECISELY doing that & then aligning them with the stars, & making so precise cuts that even modern day laser technology can't duplicate.
