I love that we get real history here.

Heh, "real history" 😄 😄 😄 🙄

Not a lot of plausibility there.

I get that some of the blocks above the king's chamber were large. But physics still applies. You can't turn gravity off. You can lift a block up a ramp. if you need to life it higher, you need a longer ramp, but there's no limit to how high you can get them that way until you run out of sand.

Geomagnetic reversals don't cause huge tidal waves. They mean that the protection from cosmic rays is reduced briefly and you get some climatic disruption. But there's many geomagnetic reversals that we know about, this paper details 93 of them. Global life on land isn't drowned.

You can lift a block up a ramp. if you need to life it higher, you need a longer ramp

of course to lower the large stones in the pyramid, the shorter the ramp needs to be ] https://i.pinimg.com/originals/31/f0/24/31f024a80fdf408c90b2205f1ba80c26.jpg

at about half the height (including some within part of the builtup pyramid structure itself )...

and consider that these special stones could have some extra effort put into lifting them than the other 2 million-odd stones

There is a Youtube channel dedicated to following the evidence of the upcoming catastrophe he mentions at the very beginning: https://www.youtube.com/@Suspicious0bservers

I posted a lot of stuff about ancient civilizations on /s/Archeology

Subbed, thanks.

Interesting...

Bullshit level: 9 out of 10.

"You need hi-tech equipment to achieve that level of precision... or just lie about it."

"The walls of the White House bathrooms are aligned to an accuracy of 1 millionth of the diameter of a human hair." See how easy it is? People just lie. There's no mysterious super-advanced lost civilisation with magical papyrus that can make 80 ton stone blocks float in the air.

Answer me this: if these ancient Egyptians had such amazing super technology, why the hell did they make the pyramids out of rock instead of some unique, artificial material that is even harder and more resistant? One which is obviously artificial, not limestone and granite. I mean, seriously, the pyramids are eroded to fuck. All these calculations about how there are these amazing numbers encoded into the dimensions of the pyramid are bullshit.

It's like going out to some road, full of potholes and broken concrete and ground subsidence, waving a ruler around and squinting at it with one eye until you get the numbers you want, and then announcing to the world that the road was made to a level of accuracy of 99.9999%. No it fucking wasn't you fraud, you just kept adjusting the measurements until it fit your fantasy.

In fantasy tales, the pyramids are these astonishingly precise feats of engineering.

In reality, the pyramids are made of roughly cut irregular blocks, back-filled with rubble, mortar and broken masonry, with only the outer casing cut with care and anything like precision.

Using simple tools, the Egyptians were capable of reaching very impressive accuracy. But nothing like the fantasies of "accurate to a billionth of the width of a gnat's dick" that people have in their fantasies.

It's also within the realm of possibility that some of the blocks used may have been made of an artificial limestone similar to concrete, although the evidence for this is mixed to say the least, and most archaeologists aren't convinced by it.
