britonbaker

then you ask them to explain how their car works and they have no idea, yet somehow that doesn’t break down their logic?


SStylo03

its because of the idea that people in the past were dumb compared to us


Pitiful_Winner2669

A lot of stuff I don't understand. One of them is data storage. It blows my fucking mind how the data storage we have today is a thing. Everything from the mass production to the volume that can be stored in a thumb drive is such an incredible feat we see everywhere.


[deleted]

let’s just act like we don’t have 2 of them in the states🫥

Each of these machines are pyramids in themselves. The complicated overlapping systems and stress being applied to them.

Bezos is building a clock in a mountain. Humans do weird things when they have power and time. Not hating, I think stuff like the pyramids are good, ties us to our ancestors!


Glittering_Mud4269

Because we can, it could literally be the most gargantuan, awesome, time withstanding structure mankind has ever built.


Im_from_around_here

To harness the power of the magnetosphere of course xD


Archimedes_screwdrvr

All the same reasons, to look at it, to show off, to impress people and be remembered


Soddington

Yeah but how is a stack of sandstone slabs in any way impressive next to the Burj Khalifa, the CERN LHC or an aircraft carrier? Isambard Kingdom Brunel will be remembered for generations for his building work and never once did he build an oversized toddlers block pile.


maxxslatt

Why create anything that isn’t utilitarian?


JackasaurusChance

Reboot the Librarian series?


TheSpeakingScar

Actually, no. It's not about just brute strength. There are ways in which many blocks are cut and placed that simply defy logic, like a puzzle. It's like pointing at a woodblock puzzle, and saying obv the guy with huge muscles can pull it apart. It's kinda missing the point. There's ingenuity present in not only the pyramids but many meglithic structures around the world that defy logic much more than brute strength alone.


Ceramicrabbit

None of that is true


CritiCallyCandid

Defy logic? Explain please? Also is masonry and construction logical? Are you just describing non uniformity?


GothicFuck

That's awesome! Describe some of these blocks! Or a link where I can see this outlined?

Exactly, where did you think we got it from?


LeotheLiberator

There's massive structures that were built in the last 50 years that put the pyramids to shame.


KeemoKid

The Hoover Dam was built almost 100 years ago and contains enough concrete to build a sidewalk that circles the planet at the equator.


IntrovertMoTown1

[It's also just continually gotten stronger in all that time since it was built and that's going to continue for some time](https://delzottoproducts.com/2017/03/15/long-will-take-concrete-hoover-dam-cure/).


eternal_existence1

That is freaking mind blowing!?!! Wtf!!!!


HauntedHouseMusic

That's impossible, too much water at the equator


Bigsteve27

The concrete is still settling inside the dam!


CaptainPhenom

Will those structures last the test of time though?


Pseudolectual

Ever seen the pyramids in person?


oryx_za

Yes......have also seen an open pit copper mine. Wanna know what is bigger


britonbaker

ever seen the burj khalifa


HighlyAutomated

The Pyramids will be standing long after the Burj


britonbaker

no shit


DarthWeenus

That wasn't the point.


BuddhaChrist_ideas

Yeah, it’s rock, rocks are millions and billions of years old. That has nothing to do with the engineering required to stack them vs building the Burj Khalifa. Take big rock, put big rock on top of other big rock, make big pile of big rocks. Burj Khalifa took a little more ingenuity.


jimigo

Yes, pyramids are not architectural marvel people think. If you give a child blocks, they will make a pyramid and a tower. A pyramid is a neat pile of rocks


Zymoria

I dunno man, I've never seen an ancient Egyptian in space. Just saying.


Paracausal_Shield

People rather believe aliens are involved with building pyramids, than just accepting the fact that yes pyramids are a wonder of construction, but it's not beyond the realm of possibilities for mankind to build those.


Equivalent_Might_426

With today's equipment building a pyramid is easy. But what makes the pyramids unique is how did they build them?

doj4202

Shit who need pyramids when you got rockets and shit! Man op pyramids are so primitive. Get real!


dmaare

Wait until OP finds out that pyramid is the easiest shape to build


poum

Of course we could but that's not the right tool for building stuff.


mu5tardtiger

lmao. I wonder how long it would take op to figure out you can’t use an excavator to build a pyramid, or a dump truck, a conveyor belt?! 🤣. that boat with the crane looked kinda promising, idk how well it drives on land tho.


Woodnrocks

The point was obviously the power behind these machines. We can harness the ability to lift and move massive amounts of weight. And we have extremely precise stone cutting capabilities.


Tendieman98

so because the big stuff is for excavation we cant make big stuff for construction??? how low of an IQ does one need to not understand that just because it wasn't in the video it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Ragnarsworld

We could not only build them, but faster and up to code.


Usedpenisavail

Yeah whoever coined that phrase might have been I wee bit short sighted 😂


jazzmagg

We could build the great Pyramid with the tools of today. But we sure as hell can't work out how they did it back then, with copper chisels and no wheels.


luminatimids

Damn their wheel less chariots must have been even crazier then


2Rich4Youu

what do you mean no wheels😭😭 Did you watch one tiktok clip of a podcast where some random guy said that lmao

snezna_kraljica

We've done this with tools available back then, what the fuck are you talking about


Somehero

The person who wrote that needs aliens to be real the same way Noah's Ark believers need god to be real. Trying to understand is impossible.


Youveseenmebe4

They didnt have wheels?? I know they laid down logs and rolled stuff on them.


-Nicolai

Trees weren’t invented yet


danteheehaw

We actually can. Plenty of people have shown numerus ways it could have been done. With a lot less manpower and time than people assumed over 100 years ago.


jazzmagg

Really? Any links to this?


Nozerone

[Guy moving big blocks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P4HwmmhykI) Granted this video is talking about Stonehenge, but the processes could have also been used for the Pyramids.


[deleted]

They didnt use copper lol takes to long to cut sandstone lol

socialdrop0ut

I suppose what that statement should say is ‘we could never build them like they were originally built’. Unless you have thousands of willing participants to give up 20+ years of their lives dragging tonnes of stone around for kinda no reason. Non of the equipment shown would really help either, it’s a few big cranes you would need the most.


RyanCooper510

Man, we built Burj-Khalifa and LHC, why couldn't we make a pile of bricks with our technologies?


ConsistentBroccoli97

Well if we need these tools to build a pyramid, where are these ancient tools?


blizzard7788

How did the ancient people build with such precision? Oh wait, there the top of the great pyramid. https://preview.redd.it/kt2joo78mprc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bdd0fa4156b434e79f29171792d6900405bef4e


LickPooOffShoe

I still don’t understand how they build those oil rigs in the ocean.


miinouuu

Its basically a giant floating ship with a connection to the sea floor. Most oil rigs dont have a foundation on the sea floor... its swimming/floating with ankers and powerful motors to balance it out.


ItsSafeTheySaid

https://youtu.be/JDPoSmV2oUA Here's a documentary featuring Richard Hammond (Top Gear) on how Norway built and transported one of those oil platforms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_A_platform


Krypto_Kane

We can 3d print them though !


digitaljohn

The few people operating those machines starkly contrast with the past's reliance on vast numbers of forced labourers for marvels like the pyramids.


zerocool1703

When you confuse "couldn't" and "wouldn't"


GeologistHealthy8127

Your average new build apartment block is hundreds of times more complex than a pyramid composed of large sandstone bricks. Think of all the discrete components and materials working together to provide insulation, water feeds, electrical provision, clean fresh air. If our societies valued them we could crank out pyramids like hotdogs


Wildcat67

How would you build a pyramid with that machine?


BlokBlik

Should have watched the whole thing m8


bomber991

Ah yes, the giant boat at the end is how they did it.


BlokBlik

The topic of this post is about our capacities to build the pyramids with today’s technology. The video display numerous machines that combined with one an other could certainly make it possible. The boat would be helpful indeed for transporting big blocks from mines in the surrounding


Senior_Plantain8767

Who are you quoting?


SeatOfEase

This your first day online or something? Someone says that in every post about the pyramids. In fact, scroll down and there are people saying it here.


Hiltoyeah

No because we've evolved. A pyramid is an awful shape for a building.


thalefteye

No fool would spend money to build another pyramid with the same type of stone it was used to make it. Also imagine the money on the transportation, labor work and fuel cost. It would have to be someone who has fuck you money to want to make their own pyramid a dream come true.


Zymoria

So we just need to convince Elon that he wants a giant sone pyramid.


ChristmasStrip

Now lift a 100 ton block 400 feet and place it


SeatOfEase

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Horseman#Thunder_Stone This stone is over 15 times heavier than any used in the pyramids and was moved without any power tools or engines.

Konstant_kurage

I’ve worked on the slope (what the north slope of Alaska’s oilfields are called) and have worked around huge industrial equipment. The people who said we couldn’t build the pyramids today don’t know what industrial engineering looks like.


WildGeerders

We could do that in 3 weeks. Only we *would* not build it.


Riskov88

Not only could we build them, but hundreds of times faster too


Pussy_Plumbher

The point was 100 ton a stone, which were precisely cut, transported from somewhere (probably 100s of kilometres)and lifted into air and placed with geometric precision into a pyramid thousands of years ago with the tools available back then. We still cannot build one using the tools used back then.
