egyptian pyramids.. how did they do it?

Question

i am so amazed that they did that so long ago, and we cant even do it today with out machines.....

how do you think the egyptians built those humongous pyramids?
think they were actually made by humans?

i have been thinking about this for so ong.. and can think of nothing!

sorry for the mis spell... i meant "so LONG"

how could they pull or drag the blocks when they weigh as much as 1000 tons???

Answer 1

There is a philosophical premise that we are really not advancing but regressing as a species, maybe that explains it.

Answer 2

Mostly through slave labor. Building a pyramid was pretty much a life long job for the slaves--it most likely took decades. No one knows for sure, but the rocks were most likely moved from the quarries using rollers, much the way historians speculate the rocks of Stonehenge were moved. Some archaelogists believe the rocks were then rolled/pulled up huge ramps to set them in place; others believe they were raised with pulleys. It seems impossible, but the workers believed they were doing God's (the Pharoah) will, and that was a tremendous incentive. For those not suitably inspired, there was always punishment, also a persuasive argument.

Answer 3

Read "The Pyramids" by Davidovits and Morris. The solution to the problem is at hand.

Also read David Davidsons, The Great Pyramid, Its Divine Message. Davidson, an engineer was getting earful after earful of how the GP is a spiritual this and a divine that so he went to Egypt to debunk all that. He took careful measurements with the best measuring equipment available. Then he came back home and wrote his book.

Answer 4

Who says we can't do it today without machines? Of course we could. Just like the Mayans did, and the stonehenge builders did, and the Easter Island inhabitants did . . . . We just don't need to.

If you're refferring to aliens as builders (vs. "actually human"), no, they weren't aliens. Proof? They wouldn't have so many "human" mistakes in them. The most obvious: they started building one at the wrong angle, and had to change mid-build. Not a likely mistake for advanced aliens.

You want to see how it's done. Easy. Offer a million dollars to anyone who can move a 100 ton rock twenty miles without modern machines. You'll be paying out lots of money, and seeing alot of potential solutions that may have been used by ancient builders. Their incentives were different, but no doubt they were equally compelling.

Answer 5

What does Egypt have a lot of??? Hopefully you thought "sand".

Here's my idea.

They pulled the base rocks into position and then basically covered it with a layer of stand and "raised" the ground above the pyramid's base so it was level. Its hard to explain in words..... But basically they "level" the ground all the way up so the ground is "level" with the top of the pyramid then they drag more blocks in place and then add more sand to "level" the ground and pull more blocks, and so on and so on until they finally dig away all the sand and kaboom, you have a pyramid.

Answer 6

All energy is in decline--both evolution and creation agree.

The Earth's magnetic force used to be so much greater than it is now. 'Knowledge' denoted the ability to harness existing energies for practical purposes.

In other words; the force is what we weak-magnetic earth humans call 'levitation'

Answer 7

I agree with Tony, If the earth is to be destroyed, I presume it will be human technology that will do it.

Answer 8

There is a phrase that goes: With enough expendable slave labor, anything is possible.
