How Were They Able To Construct The Great Pyramid Without Modern Machineries? by Explorers(m): 1:20pm On Dec 28, 2021 |
The Great Pyramid in Egypt is around 4,600 years old. Listed among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the only that have survived into modernity and also one of the most amazing Engineering feat in history (with Great wall of China). Completed around 2560 BC, the Great Pyramid stands at 147 metres tall and took over 20 years to build. It was the tallest man-made structure on earth for about 3,800 years until the completion of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311 CE. It's believed that the Great Pyramid was constructed to house the remains of the deceased Pharaohs who ruled over the Ancient Egypt. Around 2.5 million stone blocks were used, cut, moved and positioned in place to construct this Pyramid. Each stone block weighs between 2 - 15 tons. The granite block stones were quarried from Aswan, over 525miles away from the site. 50 bags of cements makes 2.5 tons (least weight of the block stones) Questions: How were they able to lift, pull, and transport over 2.5million stone blocks from 525miles away to the site(No trucks, crane)? Each stone block is weighing atleast 2.5tons while some weighs about 15tons and they were cut perfectly in block shape using what, chisel and hammer ![]() At the site, the heavy 2.5million stone blocks were arranged in layers, blocks on blocks, lifted, pulled up, till it formed the Pyramids rising over 140meters high, using what, ropes ![]() At 100meters, workers/engineers will be sending/pulling more stone blocks using equipments we don't know ![]() 68 Likes 6 Shares

Saw a documentary sometimes ago, the surface of stone blocks inside the Pyramid are as smooth as today's floor tiles. Polished and aligned perfectly. The construction and purpose of the Pyramid with the Sphinx remains mystery. Wish one could go back in time for a month with a camera to document the construction and interview the engineers, workers then the pharaoh. 141 Likes 10 Shares

Still a mystery. They must have spent most of their resources on building these things. Maybe na aliens give them the technology lol 171 Likes 10 Shares |

Since there are no cranes till date that can lift some of the weights used, I can postulate that either: 1. The ancients had a more advanced technology. 2. The builders were gigantic people, or 3. The blocks were moved in place by levitation. But howbeit, basic implements like chisels, hammers and others could not have done the job else they would not have been completed. 200 Likes 15 Shares |

They were able to construct it the same way the people of babel would have built a tower reaching up to heaven if God had not scattered their language (without modern machineries). 148 Likes 10 Shares |

otomatic: The documentary i saw(animated), it shows how they dropped a huge stone block weighing around 10tons at the entrance of one of the burial chambers inside the Pyramid to stop grave robbers/raiders or generation to come from disturbing the sleep of the kings. In their minds then, nothing can remove that 10tons stone block from that entrance, not even thousands of men. It was designed in such a way that the stone block will be dropped down into a sloppy passage to block the chamber. So pulling out will be impossible. Thousands of years later, men designed machines/cranes that can lift materials/objects weighing up to 20,000tons. 122 Likes 14 Shares |

Explorers:I don't need an evidence of the structure to believe it nitemi just like I do not need to see God to believe He exists. Moreover Genesis 11 stated that they were in the process of building, so they could have been stopped by God at any stage. All I know is I believe the word of God (Bible) 244 Likes 21 Shares |

There are many discoveries we are yet to discover lols. How did only Noah build the ark? I think this Egyptians didn't do this ordinarily, I strongly believe due to their vast knowledge in dark magic in ancient time, and scientific knowledge they where able to develop some kind of potions (my thinking) to give them extra ordinary strength and wisdom. If I will go by the Bible standard, where God deposited wisdom of art and craft skills in a man who never had it before. Also base on documentary, sightings and evidence of alien contacts have been discovered over the years maybe just maybe the where helped by aliens. Since such kind of edifice can not be built again then it's not a normal thing to consider. 54 Likes 5 Shares |

So all of Una here no fit provide answer to how the Egyptians build the Pyramid? Modified: Please, leave Aliens and fetishism out of it. Humans built the Pyramid with the application of science. As tall as the Burj Khalifa is, it took just 6 years for it to be constructed - Thanks to modern technology. It took some strong men 20 years to construct the Pyramid in question. Some of them no see when the construction finish. Science and Technology. No spirits. No Aliens. 113 Likes 7 Shares |

chariisGRACE:Not some thousands of slaves paid with their lives. Man can achieve anything all it needs is someone with the right resources and some mad determination. Take for instance if man wants to get to Mars today, remove democracy and all modern political bottleneck, all it will take a political leaders who do care about cost or how it will affect his people economically push for it with all his might not caring how many people will die on the way until we achieve it. 15 Likes 2 Shares |
