Those blocks are a wee bit larger than the bricks you and your 8 year old son would stack.

Shitposting time!

No need to tightly fit filler. I’d be interested to see the fit and finish of the original outer layer though.

Do it nearly 500 feet tall and use 2.5 ton bricks and let me know how it works out for you.

No machinery...go!

The caption even says they were the last ones.

They were pretty tired at that point.

10,000 if they die you get replacements but only 10,000 at a time and you have to do it in 50 years.

Stupid Egyptians. Didn't they know camaros on blocks in the front yard would keep the roving poors from doing poor things? While short ducking the tax man?

Look at how shitty the stones look. Hole in them. Just like modern builders, don't get rid of defective parts. Put them where the owners can't see them

When you are constantly loading and unloading grain, the top stones tend to get a little messed up.

Or eroded. Then there is all the covering stones for the entire outside that is now gone. OP has the historical knowledge of his 8 year old.

Tie them together.
Drag them 480 feet up a 50 degree slope.

You think the bricks were stacked like that... and sat exactly like that for 3000+ years? Thats cute.

All joking aside.. Go cut a 10 ton block of stone out of a quarry with copper tools, then float it down the nile on a raft made of reeds, then stack it. Do that a million times.
