Pyramids?

[Sordid Saint]

With all of the discussion about Egypt going on right now, I couldn't help myself from being re-indulged into my fascination with the pyramids. I've thought of a few different theories on how they were created, and I'll try to share them.

But first I wanted to get the question out of the way. What is your belief on how the pyramids were created or built?



I just want to point out before you post, that the pyramids have two million, three hundred thousand (2,300,000) stones that weighed between two and 80 tons. Some of those stones (the ones in the king's chamber) were cut from a quarry that was up to five hundred miles away. There have also been findings of bore marks that were made from a diamond bit drill. And, these stones, were placed so perfectly that you couldn't even fit a razor in between them.

It's very fascinating to me, and I would love to hear other people's stands on how they were created

It's very fascinating to me, and I would love to hear other people's stands on how they were createdSimple but amazing engineering machines(pulley lefts, rolling woods etc); Good foremanship; excellent architectural plans; worker's moral boost; pure blooded Egyptians; love for the Kings; and sex.

Those are the ingredients for an excellent formula to a great way to do thing.

I don't believe in some ant-head aliens that came and thought them how to build or even the aliens made them, or some Djinn power that helped them built them. Those are silly and absurd speculations with nothing to back them up.

An almost inconceivable number of man-hours. Simple as that.

They weren't built by slaves, they were built by payed skilled labourer.

As Faris said, they weren't built by slaves. The pharaoh had required labor of every citizen when the Nile wasn't flooded. He housed and fed them, though they were not slaves.

I don't care what people think. It wasn't aliens, and it wasn't the Egyptians. It was all just one person, Chuck Norris's ancestor, who lived in what we now call Texas, and moved to Egypt using a boat made from his back hair. He then proceeded to cut the stone with his teeth, shape it with his toenails, and carry them on his back. :D Actually, I think it was some Pharaoh with a vision, and he said "Hey, let's build us some pyramids!" and went to work. Or sent his people to work anyway. A long time later, you have the pyramids. I'm sure there are some undiscovered ones still buried out there somewhere too :D

If you wanna troll, at least go to The White Padded Room, people are mostly serious here...


Back on topic;
I guess it must just have been careful planning, and some seriously smart architects/mathematicians/whoeverdoesthatsmartstuff xD

"Jagshemash! My country of Egypt no longer use slave labor to make pyramid, now we use women instead."
