Quoted: Way more than that. The Jews have had a rough time, but being enslaved to build the Giza Plateau pyramids wasn't part of it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Not only have no Egyptian remains been found, ever in the pyramids, no hieroglyphs or anything else has been found. There was one word (the name of a pharaoh) that was found, but was almost certainly a forgery. Not that it was aliens, but it wasn't the Egyptians. Same thing for the Sphinx. No mention of the Jews building them in the Bible either, which almost certainly would have been said. Hell, there would probably be a holiday for it. Except that the pyramids predate the Old Testament by almost two thousand years… Way more than that. The Jews have had a rough time, but being enslaved to build the Giza Plateau pyramids wasn't part of it. Oh now you've stepped in it. |

I saw a clip on Rogan where some guest mentioned that we are closer to cleopatra era in regard to time than cleopatra was to the building of the pyramids.
I would have thought she was right in the thick of it assuming what the guest scientist said is true |

I believe many (most?) assert the construction date of the great pyramid at 2600 BC. Cleopatra lived about 50 BC (2070 years ago). |

I really doubt these were built by Egyptians. Here is why:
Egyptians are credited with inventing all kinds of shit. Math, paper, bowling, the police and on and on. If they were so fucking smart thousands of years ago, then why haven’t they evolved into super genius’s today? Have you ever met a smart Egyptian? I would bet you have not. What modern day anything has an Egyptian invented. Not one thing. They never invented anything they are credited with and they didn’t build the pyramids. Or did the super smart ancient Egyptians just evolve into the not so intelligent non inventive people they are today? |

Quoted: Nope, no royal mummies in any of the pyramids. Not one. Extremely scant evidence that Khufu built the Great Pyramid too. You can't carbon date stone. There are small wooden "doors" built into the small shafts leading from the galleries to the surface that I'd love to see dating on, but so far that hasn't officially been done. A scientifically thorough dating of that wood would either shut up a lot of Egypt theorists or overturn the entirety of accepted Egyptology.

Quoted: Anyone who think the pyramids were built by egyptians or were built as a tomb is a moron. View Quote This. I wouldn’t word it so strongly, but there is absolutely no proof it was a tomb or built by Khufu. Archeologists, historians, and scientists are not critical thinkers. They think theories are built in stone. We still don’t know how they got those stones down the river or how they built them. |

Quoted: The little doors in the shafts are stone. Griffitti from work gangs has been found in the relieving roof above the 'Kings chamber', naming Khufu as builder. Wood has been found in the pyramid, in inaccessible places, and radiocarbon dated as has organic material in the mortar. Mortar was used generously in the Great Pyramid's construction. In the mixing process ashes from fires were added to the mortar, organic material that could be extracted and radiocarbon dated. A total of 46 samples of the mortar were taken in 1984 and 1995, making sure they were clearly inherent to the original structure and could not have been incorporated at a later date. The results were calibrated to 2871–2604 BC. The old wood problem is thought to be mainly responsible for the 100–300 year offset, since the age of the organic material was determined, not when it was last used. A reanalysis of the data gave a completion date for the pyramid between 2620 and 2484 BC, based on the younger samples. The 'satellite pyramids' are contemporary with Khufu as are the 'Boat Pits', and the boats within them. There is copper from within The pyramid and the boats and it is capable of being dated, though I fail to recollect if it has actually been done. View Quote There is a recording in the founders diary that the graffiti was a hoax. He was under extreme pressure to produce something because of the expedition’s huge cost. |

Nearly unlimited labor from idle hands during the farming offseason can get a lot done. The Romans moved the 400+ ton Lateran Obelisk from Egypt to Rome in 357AD with basically nothing but human labor. They had the wheel and iron tools, but muscle was still the main tool.
