Some Scientist say it should have been impossible to build the Pyramids when they were built. How do you believe the Pyramids were built?

There is one principal argument for this theory, and its that researchers and scientists alike say it just wouldn’t have been possible for humans to build the pyramids when they were built. The Pyramids are over 4,500 years old, and back then engineering was relatively basic, making the task of assembling such huge polyhedrons, Herculean. Even more interesting is the pyramids astronomical configuration, which is said to align with the stars in Orion’s belt.

Stone Carving Theory

Self Explanatory...

Causeway / Ramp Theory
Some theories suggest that causeways were used to haul the stone blocks on wooden sleds up the side of the pyramids. According to this idea, the ramps would have been lubricated, and as few as 10 men would have been needed to drag the stones up the ramps. Once the stone block had reached its intended height, wooden rockers may have been used to maneuver it into position.

The Wooden Crane Theory
Another theory is that as the pyramids were built with levels, the blocks would have been lifted from one level to the next. A wooden crane with a counterweight would have been used to hoist them up.

I have my own theory / Results

[Daniela1982]

Each of the pyramid's stones weigh 2 tons, or slightly more. There is no way only 10 men can haul 2,000 pounds up an incline. They did not possess the ability to build a crane that could lift 2,000 pound stones. They would have to possess the knowledge of block and tackles and the ability to make ropes strong enough. Even today men do not have the ability to build a pyramid using the methods they used back then. It is also said that the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids, they just inherited them from some previous race and squatted there. The Spinx is said to be from a time when the weather in Egypt got rain, judging by the water eroded exterior. So it was long before the Egyptians. How they built all these big things. or moved these things from a quarry is a mystery to this day.

Fantastic fitting of huge stones which anyone would have a hard time duplicating

I think more developed civilization existed before Egyptian era. Maybe they were descendants of aliens who experimented with genes, or they were humans who came from other planet. Their population was low and they possessed tools for stone building and transport which were much more developed than our current technology. Their tools diapered and they mixed with native population or got eradicated by someone else. Maybe they were refugees and their enemies found them or civilization that claims our planet as their territory got rid of them.

I might be crazy lol... but I'm super into the ancient aliens theory and related stuff... When I look at the pyramids and all these amazing architectures of the ancient world.. You just can't help but think something is missing... Humans at those times were quite primitive... so, maybe... maybe... Extraterrestrials contacted and interfered with humans thousands of years ago.. and they did all these great stuff with the help of their technology... Keep in mind that also almost every ancient civilization depicted gods as some entities out of this world... Usually descending from the sky... And these civilizations still had no contact with each other at the time... So, coincidence? Doubt it...

[NamerOfStars]

Let's break it down by steps:

1. find large stones.

2. carve/smooth stones out.

3. transport stones to desired location.

4. pile stones in receding layers.

Which step do you think is the problem? The only "scientists" who claim it's impossible are disciples of van Daniken, and he's pushing racism, not science.

[Pegases]

There are unanswered questions regarding how they piled them, considering the weight, which even todays technology has trouble with. Also that the pyramids align with Orions belt, which.

[Pegases]

I'm looking into van Daniken because I've never heard of him. Out of curiosity, what is your nationality?

[NamerOfStars]

I'm American.

Those stones only weigh about 5,000 pounds; a team of eight donkeys would have no problem pulling one up a ramp. For that matter, remember that the pyramids of Giza were FAR from the first the Egyptians had built; they had lots of practice by that time.

[RolandCuthbert]

Obviously, the people of Kemet knew of advanced building techniques that appear to have been lost. I mean just look at the Romans. They built concrete structures that have stood for thousands of years.

Yet today, we build concrete foundations that only last a few decades.

Obviously, the ancients were not dumb. They knew things that we still have not recovered.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Anything is possible & I always go back to the thought that they were built by giants with giant sand toys.

[tesniolite]

there is another theory that the pyramids were poured
i dont know the exact details but it sounded pretty good

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

I remember it, I heard that there is evidence that stones were poured, similar to concrete.

Advanced civilization but they didn't come from space, is my theory.

[Anonymous]

If I was a scientist or archaeologist I would tell everyone how aliens built the pyramids so I could sell books and make money from lectures.

[mattc007007]

Causeway is impossible with today's engineering.

[Anonymous]

I agree with the scientist. I think Aliens did it.
