Ancient Astronaut Theory

Hmmm...how do you put up with me then? Thinking

My dear girl, fishing for compliments is not an attractive trait. You know full well you are no fool.

(see what I did there?)

Plus...if anyone DID tell us how to build pyramids... we didn't listen very well. There are definite 'mistakes' in Egypt proving someone didn't know what the hell they were doing (a problem that remains in construction today... [eye roll]). The 'bent' pyramid is the first anyone should look at.

Good point

I find the time frame impossible. It would require setting one massive stone every 40 seconds for 20 years and that is simply an insane schedule.

I've heard that claim before,not sure the evidence allows that inference. Modern consensus seem to be about 30 years,but in truth no one knows.

One of the many excellent documentaries around did an experiment cutting stone with a copper chisel. The chisel was much harder than expected,and very effective.

I suspect it's not so much matter of Egyptologists painting themselves into a corner,but more a matter of critics not being stone masons,builders,architects or engineers. EG it was an architect friend who explained about the simplicity and strength of the pyramid design.
