  11. ย @abdobelbida7170ย  want more proof they were clearly more advanced than today. The Coliseum of Memnon weighs 700 tons and was queried at a site over 400 miles away. Before it was craved into the statue from a single piece of rock it would have weighed about 1000 tons. How the hell did they take something so heavy out of the quarry?? You can't say it was just hard work because only about 200 people can fit around the site, not enough man power at all to lift it out the quarry. Secondly today we wouldn't do such a thing because lifting something 1000 tons out a quarry is impossible with today's technology. So what they do is blow up the side of the mountain, collect the material and break it down even further on site then transport it with large trucks. The largest today can carry nothing more than 500 tons. Let's not forget the trucks have to do frequent stops due to the excessive load. So how did they first get it out the quarry and then take it over 400 miles to the site where they craved granite which is about 6.5 on the hardness scale (with diamond being a 10hardest known material) with just a copper chisel. The Nile argument is flawed as the quarry site is very far from the Nile. With pyramids they say they used the Nile but if we go with their theory that it took 25 years to make that's a person laying down a block 100 tons at the base, 50-80 tons in the kings chamber and 2.5 tons on the exterior every 3 mins. That's not factoring the actual transportation of the materials up the nile which can only be transported 3 months a year in the flood seasons of the Nile. So that 25 years is out the window. The reason why they want to stick with that figure is because anymore and it doesn't fit khufus timeline and the fact he built it as a tomb. It's clearly not a tomb as not one body was ever found in it and the only thing linking it to him was a questionable piece of graffiti not even on the site of the pyramid ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. So its function wasnt just to be a tomb and is still unknown. Either way the things I've stated above proves they had technology that surpasses our owm
