What do you think would happen if the Egyptian Pyramids where knocked down?

Question

I honestly think they would be built back up instantly. Like by ETs.

Answer 1

Since they were built by human beings, human beings could rebuild them. However, once they were destroyed, a mere facsimile would not compensate for the loss of one of humanity's greatest cultural treasures.

Answer 2

There are some ruined pyramids in Egypt that did not regenerate.

Also, the pyramids you see today is not what they looked like back in their heyday. They had a limestone exterior that was removed by the Romans I do believe. They built themselves back up.

Now, lets say that some sort of disaster happened and the pyramids were destroyed. That would be some disaster. I don't think that many people from nearby would survive. However, after all was said and done, I would not be suprised if somewhere in the future a group of humans rebuilt the pyramids.

Answer 3

Well, if someone knocked over the Pyramids at Giza, they would be in a lot of trouble. Egypt takes it's antiquities department very seriously, especially because 25% of their national revenue is from tourism. Furthermore, it would be difficult to accomplish, and a lot of innocent people would probably be killed, mostly tourists and employees. The Sun Boat would also be destroyed.

If the Pyramids were able to rebuild themselves after damage, why is the outer casing of limestone still missing? Did you know that the Pyramids were originally much larger because they were all covered in smooth, white limestone? Early Christians took off the outer casing and used it to make mortar because they didn't understand the importance of the Pyramids. A little bit of the original stone can still be seen on the tallest pyramid because the looters couldn't reach it.

Answer 4

The Pyramids of Giza are now but a shadow of their former glory. Originally they encased in smooth white stone which glowed in the bright African sun, and impressed ancient Greek and Roman visitors to the country.

But in the year 820 AD, several hundred years after the fall of Roman Empire, an Arab Caliph ordered the pyramids be stripped of their cloak of stone which was re-used for buildings in the city.
He even intended to dissamble the pyramids in their entirety, but gave up after removing the first 20 feet or so from the top of the tallest of the three.

So they've been hit already -- who knows, maybe one day an extreme Muslim regime will come to power in the country and order them dismantled in a cultural revolution (like that of China last century which saw the destruction of most of that country's ancient monuments).

Answer 5

If those pyramids where demolished... Whoa to our planet! I think that your book of revelations will be opened & the world will bear witness to events that the worlds religions attempted to explain but cannot! I think we will experience natural catastrophes all over the planet simultaneously at a rate that has never been recorded in the earths history... i think that those beings that religion calls angels (nephylum, seraphim, cherubim, etc.) will be revealed as extraterrestrials & religion becomes a bliss... i think that this planet & a great percentage of it will be destroyed, trilateral governments will be formed as well as galactical regimes as well. In my own opinion, i think that they need to reconsider the whole idea if they do not want the world that we all know, to perish, & then they relize that all was done in the name of fictitious ideological practices that have been mistranslated into religion.

Answer 6

Well, last time an ancient megamonument was knocked down-google taliban buddhas-we did nothing, and then the horror came to the Western world.

Answer 7

I think something bad will happen and even if the Sphinx happened to be a target obviously came to an end quickly because it was not destroyed i believe something bad happened to those individuals. The answers to life as we all know are there that is were religion starts the answers to earth. So much goes with the pyramids of Giza those temples have survived for reason they have purpose.

Answer 8

Well,this is a perfectly serious question, since no-one can predict stuff like tsunamis and volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. They'd be rebuilt for tourism, I think.

Answer 9

yah right, the brits used the sphynx for target practice in the late 1800's for their artillery, thats what happened to its face, and no aliens came back and fixed it
