The Pyramids

[Saint_Ann]

Just a big pile of rocks, at first glance.

Controversial Deep Scans: Claims by external groups using satellite radar (SAR) data alleging a massive underground "lost city" thousands of feet beneath Giza have been strongly dismissed by mainstream Egyptologists and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities as unverified data noise.

Does mankind go thru smart and dumb phases? Lol.

Sounds like an opportunity to add some reference links about your topic.

But nah...

Is this too much for your brain to handle? Maybe you should stick to telling jokes about Christians. Lol.

It is lazier for someone to post a topic discussion thread without taking time to provide information than it is for me to not Google something that someone else wants to discuss

Do you have to Google a topic to discuss it? That makes me sad.

Are you suggesting that I should know about the controversial groups you randomly mention in your thread?
Do you think that other people might benefit from information about your topic that you read online?

You've never heard of the pyramids?

He probably thinks Musk is going to crash a rocket into the great pyramid of Giza or something.

Or pyramid schemes.

Oh, there it is. I was wondering how the RightTards were gonna turn this political.

A completely moronic connection, but thanks for trying.

 

[Tajiqa]

Or maybe they thought Giza was the same as Gaza.

Righttards? Is that yours? I was wondering how soon a lefttard would come in slinging insults. Lol.

Yeah, thanks for paying...

The egress is ------------------->

You should go see it, it's spectacular in full plumage.

Yes, I know you can't tell the difference between people you don't like. If you did, you'd make a Stargate joke rather than a TDS joke.

That whole area is stuck in a time warp.

Are you an egyptologist by any chance? I would be so interested to have a note of the sources you read about this. Thank you.

I'm not an egyptologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Did you play with your Sphinxter?

That was brave.

The pyramids represent a lot of time and labour, and potentially interesting understanding of mathematics for the era.

But in terms of structural engineering, they aren't impressive at all. They're literally the simpliest and most stable shape for large masses.

That's why mountains look like mountains.

...and it had bedbugs the size of scarabs

You are quite right, both structurally and geometrically.

 

[TastySuckToy]

You are quite right, both structurally and geometrically.

One of the reasons the notion "aliens built the pyramids" is so laughable.

Advanced materials science and understanding of structural engineering at scale, is not exactly represented by what is, in the real sense, a pile of dirt.

Ants and termites build their own versions of 'pyramids'. Super intelligence not required, just time and basic physics.

I have never been persuaded that the Great Pyramid was built solely by the Egyptians using only the technology we currently attribute to that period. One of the reasons is the basalt foundation itself. It covers roughly 13 acres and is often claimed to be level to within about half an inch across its entire surface. If those measurements are accurate, it represents an extraordinary feat of surveying and engineering, one that would challenge even modern builders. At the very least, it deserves a more serious explanation than it is often given.

All those mummy movies didn't help.
