It's a pile of rocks.

Wasn't built by human hands.
'Tis the devils post! Fear it's bait and witchcraft.
I don't know Satan you are the one who should know, after all you are older than everyone in this board.

They were built by skilled workers, not slaves.
They were decades-long projects supported fully by the Pharoahs, who had personal ownership over the majority of Egypt's productive farmland (arguably the best farmland in the world at the time).
They weren't especially technically difficult, it was mainly a matter of logistics and scale along with basic geometry and astronomy.
the reddit user gets it
Building the puramids isn't a technical problem, moving the hundred tonn stones is the issue, which historians believe was handled by wetting sand and rolling the stones in large logs
The slaves followed the orders of the high priests who were expert mathematicians. What’s the confusion there?

what
According to modern studies they weren't technically slaves.
But they had little hope of managing to eat if they didn't do it, so the difference can be quite thin.

It would be technically difficult to build some amazing icosidodecahedrons or great cubicuboctahedrons in that desert. The pyramids (all over the world btw) just prove that if you provide a bunch of primitive religious idiots with some stones and a span of thousands of years , you would get your pyramids *tips fedora* /thread
That sounds a lot like our modern capitalistic system
>earn your food or don't eat
Sounds good to me
Through sheer manpower. The Pharioh's inner circle did the planning and then the slaves worked for generations until it was done. The skeletons of the slaves often showed evidence of horrible injuries.
have you actually seen them? they're not THAT impressive, the photos online make them seem all grand and amazing. still pretty cool for ancients i guess.
How come the pharaoh doesn't have to earn his?

With countless tombs laden with the skeletons of failed graverobbers.
>It's a pile of rocks.
you could drop a nuke on it and not destroy it
bump.
If someones beating you across the back with a whip you'll do anything, ANYTHING to make it stop.
"Pick up that rock!" WHACK "PICK IT UP!" WHACK
fucking pseud tier argumentation
there are nukes specifically designed to take out fucking Cheyenne mountain, 800 meters of granite
Corvee labor. It was semi-voluntary, and in some instances, an ancient form of tax for landowners. They didn’t have currency back then, so public service is partially how they paid for ownership rights.
