I think it’s laughable that they say the stones were hand cut and transported from hundreds of miles away.

I’ll find the video but watching a loader struggle with a solid granite piece puts things in perspective.

Ahhh crap, now you've conjured up a fellow roofer from the P&G section and AWAY WE GO --- nope, I'm just going to sit in the bleachers on this one. 🥴

PS: Be sure to ask Mr Bentprop, just to keep things really interesting. 🤓

Well.... I will say the discovery of these has made me more open to different possibilities.

Get like 40,000 egyptians 🤣

I've moved 10k lbs machines by hand in my shop.... By myself, no power.

The Roman aquaduct system is way more impressive than the pyramids imo
Gravity centrifuges, interesting stuff. They say the water that reached the city was very pure.

Geeze to bad no in depth research has been conducted over the debated theories that date back to 1883.

This this one as an example ---- https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/ancient-egyptian-stone-drilling/

Yup on 1/2" pipe just take the one from the back and put it in the front, repeat till it's where you want it. Getting the pipes out or under is the tricky part. Probably would be alot harder in sand though. 😕

Just read somewhere that there was once a tributary from the Nile river (long gone) that may have been key in moving the humongous stones BUT personally I think Aliens had a hand in the whole deal with some sort of "Craft" like a big ass helicopter

Its MexiCAN.... not MexiCANT

I just wish they'd rubber up and stop getting so pregnant all the time. They're already 20% of US population.
… Neighbor Girls brother was over today …we were sitting around in my front yard …for some reason the subject of the pyramids came up…Actually, he brought it up… I told him about this thread, and the debate about who actually built the Egyptian pyramids… I said to him what about the Mexican pyramids… how did those get built… He had a simple response… He said Mexicans can do anything… of course he is Mexican🤷🏽‍♀️

Its a fact.... ever since moving down when I need something done I just kinda stand over what needs doing and one of my hommies might happen by and ask me whats up, I'll just say what i gotta do and BAM its done in minutes. For example the other day my Mexi buddy had one of his gal friends over and I had all my outside lights laying on the deck waiting for my motivation. The two of em had them up in 15 minutes. They didn't even ask if they can help.... all I gotta do is walk over to it and start to begin and they jump in as I slowly just back away grabbing my beer, lol.... happens all the time.... Lazy white man's paradise.

Now if they could only make Mexico great again and stay there.
Ha... there's a reversal effect actually down here they're kinda wishing less of us would come down to live. Driving their costs up fast with all this Gringo money. Guess nobodies ever all the way happy ;)

The Roman roads as well as aqueducts are impressive feats of engineering. What they did on such a massive scale with the technology available is really not talked about as much as it should be.

As for moving 10k by yourself, people do it all the time. Seen machinery movers and riggers using "skates" or "mice"...that's how moved my buddies Pullmax too.

But, have you ever stacked one of those 10k pound machines atop on another? Pretty sure you'd be needing some help then 🤣
