Your article says nothing about how the stones were lifted up the pyramid, it just has theories about how a stone (only weighing 2.5 tons mind you) was transported across the desert using sleds.

Quote:They likely wet the sand. “For the construction of the pyramids, the ancient Egyptians had to transport heavy blocks of stone and large statues across the desert,” the university said. “The Egyptians therefore placed the heavy objects on a sledge that workers pulled over the sand. Research … revealed that the Egyptians probably made the desert sand in front of the sledge wet.”
Except this theory doesn't work for the pyramids located in central America.
We were talking about Egyptian pyramids and suddenly we're onto the pyramids of the Americas. Talking about moving the goal posts.
So, what are you claiming?
Magic skywizard moved them?
Aliens?
One of the things modern people do a lot of is to frequently denigrate the abilities and achievements of our ancestors.
How the American pyramids were made, I don't know: I haven't studied those. I'm more interested in European/Middle Eastern Archaeology.
I'm sure enough research will find an article explaining it.
Humans can achieve a hell of a lot with muscle power. Look at the Egyptian obelisks.
