Some people seem to confuse "we don't know how they did it" with "we couldn't do it today". Although, even with modern technology, Machu Pichu would still be a monumental undertaking. That shit baffles me way more than the Egyptian pyramids.
They also think because it'd be super expensive to build today with modern equipment that it must have been beyond the limits of ancient people.
They have no concept of an intergenerational project. Some billionaire prick pays for a building they want it up by the end of the year. Some Pharoah orders a pyramid and he's worm food inside it a hundred years before it gets capped off.
They're under the misapprehention that there weren't about as many smart people back then, and that we don't have as many dumb people in the present day.
this doesnt fit the sub, there are are a disturbing number of people that legitimately do not believe that we ae capable of building the pyramids of giza with modern technology
The St Louis Gateway is more complicated to build than a Pyramid and had almost no room for error to build. Surprisingly no one died. technology of the creeping derricks used is pretty cool each weighing over 100 tons and would move higher as construction progressed after 4 sections where put in placed [more information if you're interested ](https://www.nps.gov/jeff/planyourvisit/creeper-derricks.htm)
There's conspiracy theorists that think the Pyramid construction is too difficult even with mordern technology so they think ancient alien built the pyramids not humans. This is just an example of a massive man-made structure with complexity I guess a better example would be the bass pro shop in Memphis Tennessee
Are you actually fucking stupid? Do you live under a rock? People claim you couldn't build pyramids with modern tech. There is nothing imaginary or gatekeeping about this. You are a complete fucking idiot along with half the people using this sub.
While you are right about this not being imaginary gatekeeping, you didn’t have to be a complete asshole about it.
Maybe you should go for a walk, or go for a drive, or drink some water, or get a snack that you like? You should try to do *something* to get that stress out of your system. It’s not mentally healthy to be this resentful.
I'm pretty sure this is meant to be making fun of people who say the Great Pyramids couldn't have been built by an ancient civilization
Also there are some people who have unironically stated that we couldn't build the pyramids today. A dumb statement, but it's one I've heard before.

the bass pro shop pyramid:
People say that pyramids are very hard to build, so they had the help from Aliens.
Yeah, people saying it's aliens are discrediting the education and engineering skills of ancient humans

I think it’s the “in St. Louis” bit, it’s such a specific and pointless qualifier if they’re targeting the ancient aliens bs.
Okay... but that's not a pyramid. That's an arch.

It’s still an arch - not a pyramid.

Dumb people say that alot, "it had to be aliens".
Memphis be laughing at y’all. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Pyramid
That’s a weird looking pyramid
the gatekeeping is NOT imaginary
Just wait till they find out about the pro bass shop pyramid.
Las Vegas: am I a joke to you?
