A block of 2 tons? Really?
Those are the SMALLEST of the stones. The heaviest stones are up to +50 tons (and way over). Of course, I could direct this conversation at other Ancient structures which use megaliths that weigh hundreds of tons. But that has nothing to do with the Pyramids, so I'm not going to.
I haven't seen this, but I find it a little hard to believe.
See this article. Ok, what it says about how the Egyptians built the pyramids isn't adding anything new, but 20+ cranes couldn't lift a single stone? Maybe they were using the wrong cranes. The most powerful crane in the world can lift around 20,000 tons, though granted that particular crane wouldn't be much use for a pyramid
Hey look, a helicopter that can lift 20 tons!
Actually, we run into a problem here. They can't lift enough. This indicates that the Ancient Egyptians either had better machinery/technology in their hands, than a modern day crane, or dang, they sure went to the gym a lot to lift those stones. The later one seems to be the more common thought, but I just find it plain humorous.
And as for the pyramids still standing today, it's a 6 million ton pile of rock for goodness sake. The only way it would not be standing today is if someone had let off a nuclear bomb inside it.
Exactly my point. Modern day buildings and structures fall by themselves in a hundred years. The Pyramids wouldn't fall down even if you tried to knock them down with everything. Personally, I think it's a bit fishy that people could go from living in caves to building everlasting structures, virtually overnight, all by themselves.
My point is not to just start attacking you Skull, but don't start accusing people of not researching and then make up facts yourself...
I didn't say you were attacking me. Quiztis seems a bit aggressive though. To me, it does seem people haven't researched our history one bit, but just bust in, stating their opinions as facts. I assure you, I haven't made any facts up by myself. I also don't believe in every possible conspiracy theory you throw at me. If somebody told me the Pyramids were used as a energy source to power up alien spacecrafts (trust me, this claim has been made), I'd think it's just as ridiculous of a claim as saying the Egyptians built the Pyramids by themselves. Also, no matter how it seems, I'm not actually claiming it as a fact that it was aliens who helped the Egyptians. It could have been anything else. But if you do a few years of research into it (more than just biased tv documentary crap), you'll notice there was something weird going on with the Pyramid building, and realize saying the people built it by themselves, is just as "absurd" of a thought as saying that they didn't. Even moreso, in my personal opinion.
Also, as an added bonus, I feel like saying that you do know that the stones used to be beautifully shiny and slippery when they first built the Pyramids, right? This means they would either had to have brought the stones from far, FAR away, over water and everything, or that they would have had to known some kind of a way to make the stones like that. Not to mention, the fact that they were slippery would have made the building ten times harder.
