My crackpot theory is that aliens showed up, told the Egyptians at lasergun-point to build them pyramids, but then didn’t give them any help at all. The Egyptians had to work out all the trigonometry and engineering entirely for themselves, while those lazy fucking aliens hung back and contributed absolutely nothing. Fuck those goddamn lazy space aliens.
Excuse me, they’re ‘job creators.’
Damn Goa’uld.
Very heavy Cunk On Earth vibes on this one.
Love her humour. It’s impossible not to cringe while watching but at the same time it’s captivating.
I remember watching this vut can’t remember where it’s from.
I didn’t remember either but I took like a quarter hour and got it. This character’s name is Philomena Cunk.
These weren’t built in Egypt at all. They imported them from the Mayans.
… who had licensed them from the Toltecs.
You moron. Build it from the top down, then just flip it over
Wouldn’t that be from the top up?
My favorite thing people say is that we don’t have the technology to rebuild the pyramids today. Wait, we are able to build skyscrapers but not able to stack some bricks in a specific shape?
The Shard in London was built using a top-down approach https://www.architecturelab.net/architecture/landmark/the-shard/
The ‘top-down’ construction method was used, which allowed the first 23 stories to be built before the basement was fully excavated.
So it was aliens, got it.
It’s amazing what you can achieve with…slaves.
Exactly. I was actually thinking of that.
We learned many things from the mighty Egyptians, such as pyramid building, space travel… and how to prepare our dead so as to scare Abbott and Costello.
But did the ancient Egyptians pump up the jam?
Also they probably packed in dirt to act as ramps, and shit loads of labor.
