we can defo lift these badboys...# 13. The average weight of each stone was 2.5 tonnes.
# 14. But some weigh as much as 50 tonnes!
we can defo build the pyramids with todays technology...
look at some of the sh!t we can build today....
it's not just about being able to move blocks, that's not the most interesting aspect in this case. it's their positioning and relation to the belt stars of orion, so incredibly precise that it is said we cannot reconstruct it today. (we might not even have the knowledge they did about the universe and there's more hidden there than the few things we recognize and overlaps our primitive knowledge)ChrisCV wrote:some giza pyramid facts:we can defo lift these badboys...# 13.

yes the egyptians were incredibly accurate in their constrcution of the pyramids.. especially with the tools they had and the knowledge they had... however saying that we can't achieve that precision today is nothing short of preposterous... where are you getting these "facts" from... today's engineering realm can construct things down to the atomic level... it don't get more precise than that...Salomo wrote:so incredibly precise that it is said we cannot reconstruct it today.

really? what brought you to that conclusion?? even with all of the modern world's exploration, telescopes, theoretical physics... what have we missed that the egyptians were able to observe from the surface of the earth without any telescopes?Salomo wrote:still we haven't got a fraction of the astronomical insights they got (let alone the dedication).
it is amazing what they did... but the entire progression of the human race technologically is amazing non the less.. some of the things we're achieving now is truly mind boggling.. nano technology, creating new unheard of materials, observing the building blocks of an atom... to name a few...Salomo wrote:(i find it less impressive what we achieved to do, considering that the egyptians had no machinery of any kind;
isn't that a complete contradiction... that's exactly the point I think..ChrisCV wrote: chances are the alien explanation is bullshit... i'm not saying extra terrestrial life doesn't exist... there are millions of galaxies out there.. however the chance occurrence for intelligent life to form are pretty slim... .
not really.. my point was life on this planet was a careful coming together of very specific things.... there are millions of galaxies out there, so its not crazy to think that another one out there of these millions could also have the same aligning of environmental factors to create some kind of life be it bacteria, single celled organisms, to primitive beings or even advanced beings... however, for there to be the precise alignment of factors on another planet to produce a civilisation capable of inter stella space travel with the advice to build crude pyramids without tools, massively slims the odds down, as you're now being very specific...john clees wrote:isn't that a complete contradiction... that's exactly the point I think..ChrisCV wrote: chances are the alien explanation is bullshit... i'm not saying extra terrestrial life doesn't exist... there are millions of galaxies out there.. however the chance occurrence for intelligent life to form are pretty slim... .
it is very interesting how they are aligned.. agreeed... however i don't think they're aligned anymore as stars and the earth move...john clees wrote:I agree with Salomo about how the exact alignment to the stars is much more compelling perspective
what are the current technical obstacles that means we can't line up a building with some stars? also why can't we cut stone like the egyptians?john clees wrote:and also things that can't be recreated to today with our tools, specific lines and cuts that would done 1000's of years ago.
