If you look at it as a logistics problem this Theory makes a ton of sense.

If I had to build a pyramid in the desert 4000 years ago, that’s what I’d do. The alternatives would be a big bother.

I thought the discovery of Wakanda had settled all the ancient African technology issues.

Researchers don’t have to go all the way to Egypt to study this ... I’m pretty sure I have some on my patio ... damn it!

Ever since we learned that this is the way the Inca’s did their big stones, I suspected that this was the case.

The Surprisingly Plausible Theory that the Pyramids were Poured from Ancient Concrete.

More likely they were left by ancient flying saucers while nobody was looking. 😂

How about the sarcophagi of the bulls in the Osireion at Abydos? Did they pour those too?

I saw that video when it first came out (I’m a subscriber). The argument is extremely compelling.

Surely there is a glyph suggesting the pouring of a concrete-like substance?

Or, as a last chance, they could have tried fubar.

On the other hand, they may have called in the Egyptian Marine Corps and its K-bars.

I have seen that theory before a few yeas ago and the fellow who wrote it made a plausible analysis. I think the origin quarry has been identified though, but I am not sure wheher it was a quarry where big blocks had been taken out or whetner it was chemically matched, too.

Giza pyramids are granite. So is the Red Pyramid.

Been there. Lived there. Know that.

The cap of the great pyramid is a mix of lime and plenty sand, like a cement plaster.

I’m no archaeologist, but I’m pretty sure I could look at a block and tell if it’s been quarried from limestone or poured concrete. The pyramids have been studied forever by the world’s foremost experts, I’d have to think they would have noticed if they were concrete by now.

Perhaps that is where Jimmy Hoffa ended up!

This clod is behind in his news. Archaeologists using LIDAR in drones and other aircraft have discovered ancient canals (long since filled in) extending from the Nile right up onto the Giza plateau.

Mystery solved. They rowed the blocks right up to the construction site.

Not to long ago you could walk right up to them climb a little just not to the top, I’ve all seen kinds of concrete good bad ugly seen it blown apart and withered and I can say with an open mind the outer stones are rock.

I had some friends who even entered the kings chamber, I didn’t because I had just got back from VIETNAM and did not like tunnels of any kind...
