It is very evident that the people from outer earth did it, or showed them how. Like they did the other five or so human areas that were selected to be the teachers and schools for the rest. Only the Sumerians seems to have passed some of their knowledge on.
The cutting and grinding (surface shaping) is well-established and has been duplicated using “standard” Egyptian copper tools. These “wells” of chipped stone around and under the obelisks remain, and several have unfinished obelisks still in the holes. (Same at Easter Island, by the way.)
The pyramid stones are actually quite rough - as you can see from close up pictures of people climbing the things. from afar, yes they look smooth: but only the cap stones, polished by sliding the stones across each other with a sand grinding powder between, allow the close fit. Machu Pichu is similar: the final fit is by polishing the adjacent stones. PS. You can't "pour" stones. Think lava.
He tried as politely as he could to talk me down. I couldn't understand why he wouldn't believe it.
I think Lee Harvey Oswalt built them acting alone.
Clams can talk!!!
Wonder why they poured those unfinished blocks into the quarry?
They were not the first to have used brick or mortar:
Gen 11
1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another,
“Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said,
“Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
Yeah? Then where are the 7,000,000 molds they used? Duh!
1) Ancient quarries bear the perforated lines made by workers to tap out the stones and hammer them until they separated from the surrounding matrix.
2) Where are the molds used to pour the “cement?”
3) Why are there no representations of mold-making or cement-pouring in paintings or in the hieroglyphic literature? The pulling of stones is represented in their art.
the romans had cement,
but the technique was lost during the christian middle ages,
and later rediscovered.
Imagine if the Roswell crash had happened in Egypt back in the days of King Tut. Then it would have been the ancient Egyptians who reverse engineered the transistor the way we did in 1947. Imagine how technologically far advanced the world would be today. (Sigh)
Funny how these notions evolve. I read a fascinating article making the same point in the 1960s or early 70s in “Analog.” It also claimed to show evidence of the use of rotary tools of several kinds in doing various early Egyptian lapidary and stone masonry jobs. Anyone remember it or have an idea how to find it on line?
Levitation
I read somewhere that the ancient egyptians documented EVERYTHING. There are written records of good purchased, sold, birht and death.
But not one scrap of parchment showing anything relating to the building of the pyramids or any costs for stones, food for slaves, ropes, etc.
The pyramids are WEIRd to me... I suspect they are much much older than we think, only because no one remembers or documented building them.
Is it possible that civilizations existed before the last ice age 10-15,000 years ago? what if the pyramids were 30,000 years old, or more.
How did out early civilization even figure out something so simple as digging in the dirt to find ore to make metals? I mean its not like itis obvious or anything.
