@TravelWithGus yhhh sure 😂😂 the world record for a crane is about 20 tonnes when in the kings chamber there are several granit stones weighing about 50-70 tonnes 😂😂😂 That's just the beginning, there is so much evidence implying that they were much more advanced than we are today

@TravelWithGus we couldn't do that all by lifting a crane, idiots like you think the outside of the pyramid is the only part. Let's say a crane is able to do the outside part I'd doubt it would be to the crazy precision and secondly the kings chamber has several granite stones weighing from 50-80 tonnes each and the world record for a crane's max capacity is like 20 tonnes . So yh have fun with trying to build one with today's technology 😂

@TheTomtah You are people like you who haven't looked into pyramids in detail are clueless.

@abdobelbida7170 wtff, without maintenance all modern buildings wont be standing in 500 years. Now the pyramids at the very least have been here for over 5 thousand years with evidence showing it could've even been built long before the last ice age, factor in a couple cataclysmic events and you might start to see that there is no competition they were here long before us and when our civilisation has withered away they'll be here long after us too. The things done in ancient Egypt can simply not be matched. On the surface everything they did seems pointless and simple but the more you look into it the more you realise they always did things the harder way as if their structures needed to be built in a certain pattern every time to serve an unknown purpose

@abdobelbida7170 shows you don't know anything about masonry, as the Mansons of today will personally tell you its impossible to do what they did and disregarding something because you don't understand how it was used is stupid. That way of thinking will get you no where. Again 80 ton granite rocks 200ft high in the kings chamber when the max a crane of today can do is 20 tons.
1
@abdobelbida7170 even the precision cant be matched, the faces on the statues are geometrically perfect in symmetry on granite. The hand isn't accurate enough to do this so what were they using?
1
@abdobelbida7170 the pyramids Express things like the earths ratio it is facing perfect north and it's built in the exact centre of the earths land mass. how did they know about they earth's size and how did they know about perfect north?

@abdobelbida7170 https://youtu.be/2fS9ixfQ_no just watch this and you'll realise how calling the pyramids a bunch of rocks piled up is stupid
1
@abdobelbida7170 just watch the video, and comeback to me. We'll see what you say after

@abdobelbida7170 making the Egyptians look like rats? Okay again nothing we have could even last 1 thousand years never mind 12 thousand. There is water erosion on the sphinx and the last time that amount of water could have eroded the sphinx was over 12 thousand years ago. So at the very least it was standing and finished during the last ice age. I must also point out during that time 12 thousand years ago there were cataclysmic events that would have utter left no trace of a civilisation and literally put the world into the stone age. It's clear a vast amount of knowledge was lost. If that same event happened today in 12 thousand years no one would even know of our existence or at the very least what we are capable of. So you boasting about space is irrelevant as if they could do space travel the evidence would have been wiped away. The face anything is still standing from that period over 12 thousand years ago already puts modern technology to shame. You cant say its useless because you do not know of its function. A book full of knowledge is useless to someone who cant read it...

@abdobelbida7170 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 😂😂. 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

@abdobelbida7170 own**

@abdobelbida7170 you're actually an idiot man. Think before you speak. I said questionable because its not even on the site, it doesn't look like any other ancient Egyptian writing ever and its just randomly put in the corner in a messy fashion. Again it's not on site and it doesn't even say its claiming the pyramid even if it did it doesn't match the quality of the pyramid. It's like me spraying some graffiti on the the Pentagon, claiming it and now you're equating that to me owning the white house 😂😂😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 and again idiot. Go and look at the way the Egyptians made their queries fool. Dragging it is out the question. It literally had to be lefted then transported. And are you mentally okay? The only animals that could pull that once they've somehow lifted it out the quarry are elephants. They didn't tame elephants at all and even then you'll need like 1000 of them and there's no space for them to fit around the monument to pull in the first place 😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 again you're a fool. The Egyptians themselves have never actually claimed the pyramids and say they are a legacy civilisation themselves. They say there was a period when Gods and demi gods ruled thousands of years before them. I'd call someone a God too if you could do all of that, especially in the so called stone age
1
@abdobelbida7170 the largest helicopter today can only do 22 tons😂😂😂 far off 1000 tons. Planes wouldn't be used as pulling something when it needs to be lifted first is stupid
1
@abdobelbida7170 and also using a rocket to lift something 400 miles away is stupid, especially when the max load of the most powerful rocket today is about 60 tons (Falcon Heavy) and the most powerful rocket ever (Saturn V) can only lift 154 tons. That's quite a mile off the 1000 ton max capacity needed or shall I say 400 miles off 😂😂😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 I'm telling you none of our current vehicles today can ever dream of lifting such a heavy weight which Is why literally every civilisation ever after the Egyptians will take things one by one and assemble it on site. Like with the large pillars in Athens it's split into sections which makes the job infinitely easier. And today we blow up mountains and file the rocks down on site then put them in trucks that can take no more than 500 tons. Now you see why everyone else ever has never taken a single piece of granite/ limestone ever again out a quarry then transported 400 miles away? BECAUSE FOR EVERYONE ELSE EVEN TODAY THAT IMPOSSIBLE. Again all the things you've posed, helicopters, planes and even rockets couldn't even think about doing the job of taking the Coliseum of memnon 400 miles away. Does that finally put into perspective how advanced they were for you? If not let me spell it out for you, THERE IS NOTHING IN TODAY'S ARSENAL OF TRANSPORT VEHICLES THAT CAN LIFT THE COLISEUM OF MEMNON UP AND THEN TAKE IT 400+ MILES AWAY. Does your brain finally understand even with all our technology and advances it still pales in comparison. And I haven't even got onto the crazy precision which i can go on forever about. You're talking about the Egyptians giving all their resources to do as the pharaoh pleases when all of today's resources couldn't even put the material in place to start the fuckin task 😂😂😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 wtff I never said that. Quote me fool. I'd never say something so stupid because there is no Egyptian writing saying how or who built them, infact its not even mentioned at all as if they had nothing to do with it
1
@abdobelbida7170 wanna know how its stupid? Because the max load for the biggest rocket ever is 154 tons when it needs to be 1000 tons to even think about doing something like lifting the Coliseum of memnon😂😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 you're fully brushing over everything stupid isn't my argument, the facts and figures are. Go and look at any vehicle of today that could transport 1000 tons in one go over 400 miles. Then you'll be led down a rabbit hole because there are none 😂😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 I've been giving you facts and figures all along you're the one that's been pulling assumptions out from your ass, now I must ask you to actually give me factual information of a vehicle lifting then pulling 1000 tons for at least 100 miles. See I made it easier for you by making it a quarter of the distance😂😂 go on, if you cant you might just have to accept their superior technology 🙃
1
@abdobelbida7170 so you're answering a question with a question. I ASKED YOU TO FIND ME A SINGLE VEHICLE TODAY THAT CAN FIRST LIFT 1000 TONS THEN TAKE IT 400 MILES AWAY. If you cant that your proof that they are more advanced because If we can't and they did that's your proof 😂😂
1
@abdobelbida7170 and I already gave you that video If you really want the factual proof. Clearly haven't watched it
1
@abdobelbida7170 if your brain doesn't understand that if we cant do something that they did multiple times over then watch this https://youtu.be/2fS9ixfQ_no maybe you'll finally grasp that the pyramids and all the other monuments aren't just a bunch of rocks but a work of art of people technically superior
1
@abdobelbida7170 https://youtu.be/2fS9ixfQ_no for the 3rd time here you go there is the evidence. But really and truly, if a civilisation back then could do large tasks that we cant even think about doing today what are the implications???? That's a rhetorical question I just want you to actually think for once in your life. Watch the full video then get back to me, the only time I want you replying is if it's a response to the video or actually evidence that we can lift 1000 tons and transport it over 400 miles away over and over and over again. And when I say 1000 tons I mean at once not like what we do today where if we want to build a large skyscraper we split the material and bring it with many different vehicles so the weight is bearable. I mean all at once with single vehicle lifting then taking a single object 1000 tons in weight over 400 miles away

@abdobelbida7170 https://youtu.be/2fS9ixfQ_no that's the source click on it or does your IQ, brain size and mental capabilities not allow you to do that?
