That freaking pyramid was made 4500 years ago. And it is 480 ft tall!
Some granite stones in it weigh well over 50 tons! How could possibly people of that old time with no modern technology lifted the stones to build that huge monument?

""No matter how many workers were used or in what configuration, 1.1 blocks would have to be put in place every 2 minutes, ten hours a day, 365 days a year for twenty years to complete the Great Pyramid within this time frame. To use the same equation, but instead assuming the time of completion to be one hundred years instead of twenty, it would require 1.1 blocks to be set every ten minutes. This equation, however, does not include the time and labor required to design, plan, survey, and level the 13 acre site the Great Pyramid sits on. Nor does it include the construction time for the two other main pyramids on the site, the Sphinx, the temples, networks of causeways, several square miles of paving stones, the leveling of the entire Giza Plateau, the 35 boat pits carved out of solid bedrock, or several other highly laborious features."" - Wikipedia.
Do you think it is just a mystery, or it was such a technology that even people of this time are unable to unveil?

Studies show this was certainly a feat, a type of modern day 'miracle' if you will. I read books on people who said how it would have been done, but alas, too much water under the bridge. Apparently, there were ways to do this. They say 'where there's a will'. We also know the people were heavy into supernatural powers, heavy into darkness, so it is realistic to believe they would have also had 'help', 'direction' if you will. It has certainly led some people astray into its mystical and magical powers, so it did serve quite a purpose even to this day.

Maybe they used large Helicopters, that used sand or camel dung for fuel.
