^ thats the answer.
I would also add, in todays age, it's fine ppl copy each other. But during that era, ppl "somewhat" duplicating one another, while the population of Earth was nothing compared to now, communication being hard, and the distances between one another... ya... I do believe it's not a total coincidence.



I get the opinion about wanting to reach heights.
Although I still believe most pyramids or pyramid like structures built around the world have some similarities.

The only proven method of building a ancient structure that I've learned about is, Stonehenge, and other similar structures.
Pyramids, I've seen many methods, but none to explain the speed of which ppl estimated, it took to build.

The base size of the great pyramid and mayan pyramid are same if i remenber correctly. Now which is wierd to me is no inscriptions in the great pyramid but the others do. Why is that? There is much much more. The 3 great pyramids and mayans are most interesting to me. the math involved is so precise yet ones constructed later are uneven and falling apart,almost seems like the egyptians were trying to duplicate something they never built in first place.

Or they couldn't keep up with need and had to cut corners.
I read something about the cats they buried. It said so many cats were killed and mummified that they started running out of cats so they ended up burying 30% cats and the rest were fake mummies filled with leaves and garbage.of course doing that would cost you your life so no one talked about it even back then.

Then don't come here...go hate on religion and post more tranny pictures...sheep

Personally, I believe people were smarter back then. They had to be very precise and inventions and innovations were popping up everywhere. Also, there's a theory stating that the Egyptians used just the right amount of water to allow the blocks to be pulled on the sand. The water theory has been replicated in a much smaller size.

Interesting didnt kno that



Perhaps but what happened then? Theres quite a few chapters in history we lost knowledge of. Maybe dark ages responsible who knows. 800 years of cover ups and nething that went against churches was destroyed and along with people. But still all of this took place thousands of years before hand. We went from people barely out of the cave to a civilization constructing mass cities/structures. I do not think people had knowledge to do so. Mayans had irrigation and i think a form of hydrolics. Must of been some outside influence imo.

there this 4-5 hour long Russian documentary about pyramids and other structures, there’s no wild alien theories or anything like that... they approached it with pure logic and facts. They don’t tell you how pyramids were build but live it to figure out for yourself. From what i have gathered it looks like Egyptians, Mayans etc... never build their pyramids but found them, occupied them and started worshiping people who build them. Probably trying to replicate mummification process etc... they even tried to build pyramids them self’s but failed. Pyramids have been found where half of the wall was made out of sharp big blocks (like in great pyramid) and other half out of sloppy clay bricks. Also if Mayans had this knowledge and technology to build pyramids how come they all lived in houses made out of bamboo...?



anyway...its just my theory

Sorry if i was a bit short the other posts i wasnt having the best day. Ill break it down to hopefully clear up any misunderstandings about the pyramid's construction.

Basically the predominant idea is that teams of men drive blocks in spirals up the pyramids, despite a few keystones in the base of the structures teams of men of 20-30 could move most of the "building blocks" of the structures. This process can be reproduced today without the help of any modern machinery.

The second basic misunderstanding can be attributed to people's ideas of the workforce. Of course the bible falsely tells us the Egyptians used slaves, Jewish slaves. This is false, the workforce of ancient Egyptians was built up of off season farmers. The nile river delta and area surrounding the nile flood once a year, which displaces all of the farmers who use the sediment layed by those floods to farm, even today. This would have been by many estimates hundreds of thousands of people looking for work while they are displaced from their farming plots. The same concept works for the Maya, however it was not displaced farmers but rather a highly advanced system of job specialization due to extremely advance farming techniques compared to their peers around the world. Either way the number of stone masons, hard laborers, and qualified mathematicians seem to all be accounted for. Many people believe, but cannot confirm, that the people of Cahokia complete pilgrimages to bury relatives and participated in the raising of the earth pyramids over many millenia, again the workforce and timescale are accounted for.

Interestingly enough the last estimate i saw for the construction of the great pyramids put the time between laying individual blocks at around 3 minutes apart. A steep task, but this was also at the absolute height of Egyptian engineering and finances.

As to the similarities, as far as purpose, size, shape, angle, and composition the pyramids in egypt and the pyramids in central america have very little in common. From a few miles away they may look similar, or even related. However when you look at the stone composition, angle of ascent, and purpose they are incredibly different. Egyptian pyramids are tombs, wheras the maya did sometimes bury leaders in their pyramids but they were more commonly used as centers of metropolitan areas and housed religious leaders. Maya pyramids also used walkways and smaller cut stones, something missing from Egyptian pyramids. Additionally the angle of ascent is entirely more steep in Maya pyramids which causes a myriad of architectural differences.



The geomerty was indeed a triumph however the pyramids werent "built to last", not because they intended them to fall apart, but rather the natural environment of Egypt makes the erosion factors too high to build anything out of stone that will last. Additionally you can track the changed in geometry over time and see that quite a few structures were mathematical failures and needed later alteration. The angle of incline was often miscalculated.

did anyone ever said anything about aliens ? and pyramids getting destroyed in china is a fact.... and since when growing trees cost mass amounts of money ? go google it clown
