there's a few parts to the video series, including a lot of math on the block weights and bladder requirements. the few LARGE blocks would still be a bit of an issue, but the main blocks could have been done. it just seems to work out better than theories of spiral ramps where you'd have to lay a block every 10 seconds for 40 years straight to make the pyramids in my eye.

I'm not big on any of the ramp theories. You'd need enough sand or w/e to leave a Grand Canyon size hole.


Let's try a different theory.

Let's say I was a bunch of benevolent aliens that liked to investigate developing planets. How would I want to leave my "calling card" to last down through the ages.
Especially if I wanted the creatures on said planet to know how to contact me... in the far, far, future.

Maybe I'd construct something that couldn't possibly be constructed by the inhabitants. Something that would last for millennia.
Maybe I would also put clues inside or about those objects, that would take millennia to decipher to let those inhabitants contact me when they "came of age".

Just a thought.

While im not against the idea of alien construction, i cant use lack of evidence how it was built to speculate that we couldnt build it. the float theory seems close enough to a workable theory to have me leaning against aliens.

Well... I'm not FOR the aliens idea, I'm just pointing out a possible if aliens, why pyramids, thought.



As for the water theory... I can buy them floating blocks from the quarries to the site.
I can't buy then "floating blocks up the side of the pyramids" idea though. That "tunnel filled with water" up the side of the pyramids... don't think so.


I could possibly buy into some kind of large lever or counterweight theory, possibly.
Like maybe building a very large tower of wood over the pyramid site, and then using a counterweight of say a lot of smaller portable things in a large sack of some kind, to lift the new block.


I think one of the biggest problems we have with figuring out how it was done, is the fact that our imagi9nations are limited by the current times.


We assume there is no life on other planets that cruises around investigating things.
We assume that time was a factor... (couldn't have done it THAT way... too many years).
We make assumptions we can't even identify as assumptions, currently.


I mean throughout history many have pointed out that we "assume" things when we shouldn't.


My belief is that we are probably still making assumptions about the construction of the pyramids, that we shouldn't be.
And that we will probably continue to do so for quite a while yet.

making a lift tunnel water tight doesnt seem that improbable. they made ships water tight. a flood gate and lift system are well within their tech capabilities. and when removed leave no trace. a lot fits. not saying there's proof, but the tech seems to work out.

The difference between a ship and a water tunnel 450 ft. tall is water weight and resulting pressure.




Also... look at the time scale involved here. The great pyramids were built 2000 years before just about any thing else.

Unemployment benefits reduced

Minimum wage isn't pork though. Pork is localized spending to benefit specific districts/states (a good example of this is the bridge in Rep Stefanik's district). Pork is simply a subcategory of unrelated bullshit that doesn't belong in a bill.

Having said that, I don't blame them for TRYING but I think it's a political miscalculation on their part.

point taken (ive been misusing pork as just bill bloating) and also i think min wage is a coastal issue. 12$/hour fast food workers dreaming of 15$ while the very idea to an alabama mcdonalds line worker making 7.75 doesnt even seem real.
