  • How did they make the pyramids?

    It's an interesting thing. Of course the huge amount of work with their technology, just seems very difficult.

    I think one of the biggest issues is the fact that they're aligned N-S-W-E pretty well. How did they do that? With their technology, I think they haven't solved it, as in if we had to do it with their tech, we couldn't.

    So anyway I saw this Joe Rogan stand up, wasn't particularly great but it had a funny theory about this all. It was that there are some really smart people out there, even right now. But we're basically breeding so fast, that the average idiots are outnumbering the really smart ones and at some point, we just run out of the smart ones and we're all pretty stupid. So. How well would we uphold the systems adn technologies. It's not like the average idiot would be able to figure it out. So at some point the power goes out and blaablaablaa, back in the caves, easy to defend against the wild animals and others, unlike in cities without power blaablaablaa. Few generations goes on and we don't even know math anymore, it's just gone.

    So, the theory went on to explain that this explains the pyramids. There were some really smart people around then, really really smart. But the idiot stone workers simply were breeding more and finally they ran out of the really smart ones eventually. So few generations went by and they just claimed they built the pyramids and so forth. And that we are all just bastard children of the idiot stone workers. It's a pretty good story .

    It had some good points, like do you know how stupid people really are and just send a person to the woods with an axe and wait until he is able to send you an e-mail. Like, he says he knows he is pretty stupid, but almost everyone he meets is even more stupid. And since stupid people don't know they're stupid...

    As in, you are able to buy a phone with a camera and operate it, and that's almost smart, but do you really know how it's done? So no, you aren't really that smart after all. You just know how to push a button.

    So anyway, any other alternative theories about the pyramids, except the "aliens did it"?

        KH, really? Ok.. that's just something I thought I remembered they said in a documentary. I might have mixed it up.

          Those documentaries are always so frigging sensationalist.

          I'm sure there are details we still don't understand, but I think that to claim that we won't figure out those details is naive.

            Pekka, I know you live in finland so it's probably a rare experience for you, but there is this yellow thingie up in the air wich also was around when the pyramids were build. They actually also used that thingy to discover that the world was round . Those gypties was actually not stupid

            Edit : suddently is in doubt - think it was one of those hairy greeks that did that round world thing.

                  Joe Rogan also believes that people never went to the moon. Would take anything he suggests with a pinch... no... a bucket of salt.

                        Really, the only impressive thing about building a big honking pyramid is managing the logistics for the workforce. Pyramids themselves are about as simple as buildings can be.

                          BS. The workforce logistic wasn't that big a problem - any civ used to manage an army can do that. What is impressive is that they could put those lego blocks as high as they did.
