Shallow twit. 'Oh, it's just a matter of throwing some rocks around. No problem'.

Heck, humans can't even build houses any more. The shitty things start leaking in five minutes and need air conditiioning units roaring away all summer just to be liveable.

What is absurd is when people say 'Oh, we can't do that now, so aliens must have done it.'

We can make blocks of stone exactly like the ones the Egyptians built, if you ask the right sort of archaeologist they will show you how to do it with period appropriate materials, and then if you have nothing better to do, you can wear a loin cloth and sandals and carve a block of stone the old old old way with stone and copper tools. Nothing is stopping you except your lack of ability to get out of your house.

And of course we can make houses. We can make them the new way or the old way, there is no lost technology here. This is insane.

Hedgehog7 believes pyramids have special psychic properties and can be used to inflict mental pain and generate some sort of mystical energy. I get why he is loon enough to say we can't build them any more. Why are you jumping on board the crazy train?

we should clear a few hundred acres in Mexico and build a pyramid with up and down escalators...

Because I happen to be right. I could tell he was into the 'alien technology' bs. I am not.

We still don't know exactly how they did it so how could we build them using the same methods? Of course we could build something that looks similar using modern machinery. Duh!

Ridiculous nonsense. The pyramid is the end product, we can make the product.

If you want an artisanal poncy pyramid that reminds you of the ancient ones then you can cut the blocks from the local sandstone from the same quarries that the ancients did. You can use the tools and methods I already described for that and you can wear the costume and experience the dysentery, bilharzia and whatever other parasitic diseases the Nile has to offer as well if that's what it takes for you to feel you are being authentic enough. If you want to use human labour to drag the blocks up a slope to deposit then that can be done if you have the funds. You will end up with your "real" pyramid. Or dead. Whichever is preferrable.

Or you can use the best techniques currently available to deposit your stones, which is what the original builders did. If they knew you could use a crane to lift the blocks but that you chose to use a team of 70 blokes to drag it instead, they would laugh at you for being stupid.

Similarly you can have a more modern and improved pyramid if you like. Transport basalt or granite from thousands of miles away, or use modern materials such as poured concrete or polyvinyl chloride. A link to a debate about whether the Egyptians could use high pressure hydraulics to lift blocks of rock is unimportant, we can do it irrespective of whether they could. Or we could use giant trucks, pneumatics, helicopters, whatever.

It's a big triangular structure, we can make those. Your overpowering need for a fight is taking you in a crazy direction.

Ooh. So personal. I'm just stating facts. Where did I say I want to build an authetic Egyptian pyramid? Dumb fuck male who can't admit when he's wrong. How unusual

Why did you write "We still don't know exactly how they did it so how could we build them using the same methods? Of course we could build something that looks similar using modern machinery. Duh!"

You need to fight so hard you can't even agree with yourself for two posts in a row.

I'm sorry for your problems with reading comprehension. Either that or nice try at gaslighting, know-it-all.

In that case, you are no longer challenging my quite obviously correct assertion that of course we can build pyramids, this technology is not lost, and thus the thing Handjob7 wrote about ancient Egyptians not being able to build cars and us not being able to build the pyramids is rubbish.

[FlashDangerpants]

It must really suck to be peacegirl. She's been trying to keep her stupid thread about that idiotic book in play and she gets consistently drowned out by utter bollocks like this.

Imagine having a 200 page book to talk about and not having enough content to compete with a bunch of twats talking perfect drivel about triangles.

Talk about desperate. Now you are reduced to cherry-picking. Pathetic.

I'm not cherry picking, I'm just reminding you what my position was. Now that you've abandoned the silliness about authenticity you seem to have dropped your objection to it so we're back where we started. I say "we", that's a bit of a lie, I don't care much where you are.

[accelafine]

You are arguing about nothing. Just too arrogant and vain to admit it. Don't you have a fox to rip apart?

[FlashDangerpants]

You are arguing about nothing.

And you .... weren't?

That's sad.
