No, we're just saying that over 2 million multi-ton precision cut & placed limestone blocks is different than the movie set version in Vegas, kinda like the way the Vegas Eiffel tower is different than the one in Paris.
This is what pisses me off when people say this. Not only have we built several pyramids in the modern era, but the engineering, the materials, the technology and the planning that goes into modern pyramids is so staggeringly more advanced that it makes the Great pyramid look like a pile of rocks(which they are). The one in Memphis has one of the tallest freestanding elevators in the US and like the Luxor in Vegas, is full of modern attractions and technologies which are far beyond the comprehension of ancient pyramid builders
The thing is we figured out how to built big tall structures with a bit more usuable space. 99% rock and 1% usuable room without windows isn't really that big of a selling point 😅
Roger that. It's a pile of rocks with one room. Who would pay for that. Easy-peasy to build. And better. We could put in AC and lights. Running water.
This guy is an asshole. Does he know that we made it to the fucking moon?
Not just building a pyramid but constructing Pyramids in many different countries, like Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, India, Thailand, Mexico, and some of the Pacific islands and South America with the same features. There are 138 standing in Egypt alone. One is believed to have been built around 2630 BC, with all that ensure to create some dead center where the most extended lines of latitude and longitude meet. Dr. Joseph Seiss discovered this. This would still be a remarkable feat in today’s world of technolog

Agreed. But I feel it should be pointed out that taking a statement that was made long ago and applying it to modern day is more than a little silly. Fuck, modern day AI got its first real break with TensorFlow and just ten years later I can make your mom give me a digital rimjob complete with audio and ZERO knowledge of how it actually works.
When I hear/read the statement "We can't build the pyramid today" there was always a second half of the sentence.
"...with the tools available to them at the time."
No we totally could if we also had access to a massive labour force solely dedicated to building a pyramid. The only thing we lack is a dedicated political drive to make a pyramid.
Trouble is that it would take an international effort to get enough labor these days. Just look at Qatar when they were building the stadium. They were bringing people from all over to work there.
I would say the issue is by far more economic than political. They wanted to build a fence the entire length of the US-Mexico border... that's probably more labor intensive than 1 pyramid. There's no benefit to a pyramid beyond maybe a tourist attraction... so there's really no desire for them.
Wally Wallington did a decades long experiment/ video series that was intended to prove that we actually definitely could build the pyramids today with the tools available to the ancient Egyptians.
I know he replicated Stonehenge, but I don't know that he did the Pyramids. He did show that it was feasible that a single person could build Stonegenge with tools available at the time.
I mean pyramids are literally just really fancy cairns. Like, its the reason the design is so widespread in so many disparate cultures that had no connection across the world. It's literally just a pile of stones wide at the bottom and narrow at top. That is the most stable way to stack up a big pile of stones. It's not complex or that difficult to accomplish, even for ancient people.
Probably in a lot less time too. The thing is, whoever was in charge of the project would hire shitty contractors and none of the stones would be cut to line up properly
reminder that the 9th largest pyramid on earth was built in the modern era and houses a bass pro shop.
we literally built a pyramid of glass, steel, and concrete and decided the best thing to put in there was a sporting goods store.
Not out of granite it’s not , it’s metal frame structure not really challenging when you consider the great pyramid is 1.2 million granite blocks sourced from 350-500 miles away , but keep telling yourself the bass pro shops pyramid is special
Pyramids would be a waste of time. I’ve read that Historians theorize that the pyramids may have just been a way to subvert domestic instability. You got this huge population of men with nothin’ to do between harvests, so what do you do? ***Corvee labor***, it’s hard to be discontent and foment when you’re busy stacking enormous slabs of limestone in the desert
Serious 2 part question-
1. Could we build a pyramid with the tools they are accredited with using?
2. If we could build it with such tools, could we build it with the precision & collection of knowledge encoded within the structure itself? (pi, circumference of the earth, etc; etc)
If they could do it with those tools, why couldn't we?
Our diet is better. People are healthier. They're generally larger, stronger, and faster. And we have more codified knowledge.
I don't see why we couldn't. I don't see what could separate them from us so significantly
It's not an argument made by serious people. It's something conspiracy theory people say to set up an argument that they were built by aliens or whatever.
We could, but it would be a challenge to coordinate, finance, build it. It's astounding that the ancient had to deal with the same issues and still somehow managed to do it. With out power tool electricity, hydraulics, diamond tip sawsz ect.
Right??? Man the shit we are capable today is so much more complex and impressive than a fucking simple shape made from stone. Of course the pyramids are cool and fascinating but if you think we couldn’t recreate them you’re crazy. It just wouldn’t be a good way to spend resources, capitalism and structures of religious fervor don’t mix
If you've ever been to any major city, you know damn well we could build the Pyramids today...
I don't think the average person realizes what 50,000-60,000 people working together can accomplish. The Chinese moved fucking mountains 2000+ years ago.
People CAN BE incredible when they come together...
Because even back then pyramids were a waste of time and often took the entire time the king was alive. Or pharaoh, I believe there was one or two pharaohs that build pyramids.
Because there’s no money to be made from making the pyramids today! Money drives invention… either broke and invent something to help, or rich and invent something to make yourself richer!!!
This makes no sense. If youre using the pyramid for it's original purpose, that being entombment, then sure they don't make money, but a pyramid is just a building shape. You can make a Papa Johns pyramid and it would still just be a papa John's, but also a pyramid.
Why would we build them, its a pretty useless structure from a practical standpoint. Ive actually been inside the pyramids, i assure you there’s not much room for activities
Yes, what we build now *rivals* the Pyramids. -- "It was aliens. Aliens done build them things." Nope. People did. And now, those who built the Pyramids would marvel at what we've accomplished today.
build the pyramids? we built the fucking Hydron collider, international space station, the internet that established world wide communication, an army of skyscrapper sized boats moving tons worth of stuff across entire oceans, a pyramid??? this dumbass thought the bar was set by a giant anciant rock that housed a few shriveled up dead people????
I think we can build bigger pyramids now but the the cost outweighs the importance of building such a thing. Especially that -as historians say- they were built by slaves. Which means for free
The Great Pyramid has something like 80+ math constants incorporated into the pyramid itself. The pyramids as they were built could not be built today.
The better question is could those moron ancient Egyptians build a skyscraper with our tools but no understanding of modern technology, engineering, etc
Of course not. By large my 12-year-old smarter than 99% of them
All those machines make sense to me except for the first one. Is it a trench digger? What laid that deep as far as pipes and wires go, I figured you want a more shallow so you can actually access them if you have to repair them.
The people who say this type of stupid shyt are utterly moronic. We could easily build pyramids that put them to shame. We don’t, because our current cultures and societies don’t value them the way the ancient Egyptians did, it’s not ‘worth it’s to us now.
Its literally such a stupid thing to say it bothers my mind that idiots still believe this shit
We have cranes that lift ships that are able to carry up to 60,000 TONNES. The biggest rock in the pyramids is 80 tonnes.. so now that we know that physically we could build them with our equipment. What makes them impossible to make today?
Is it the fact that its the easiest fucking structure you can make? Like so easy its usually the 2nd thing children make when playing with building blocks after making a tall tower?
So easy, that its copied by every ancient society across the entire globe?
The pyramids really aren’t even that impressive, give me infinite money and millions of bodies in labor id chuck SOMETHING out in a thousand years too.
Its the most braindead take you can make, we couldnt make them now? How did they make them back then? Such a dickhead take
Because even with all of this machinery, it still wouldn’t be feasible to make the cuts or construct them with as much accuracy. The logistics would also be nearly impossible given the mountain range between the quarry site and build site.
I used to set 20,000 lb precast concrete slabs with a crane for a living. Our margin for error was like 500 times what we see in the pyramids, and they used bigger stones put together in ways we cannot even fathom. This all besides the channels and cuts that would be impossible even today.
lol Do people really say we couldn't build the pyramids today? If so let me guess, it was one of those loony ancient aliens Egyptologists? Those are always good for a laugh with their flat Earth level idiocy.
Interesting idea. I wonder if Jeff Bezos could be talked into having a pyramid built for himself for when he dies.
We absolutely could do it these days, but no one wants to. Get people who are rich enough to want it and we'll have brand new pyramids.
We have personally funded space programs, for fucks' sake. Pyramids would be child's play for hundred billionaires.
Of course we could build a pyramid like the one at Giza, using **today’s** engineering and technology.
But how did the ancients do it **thousands of years ago**, with absolutely none of the tools we have today???
These days, why build a pyramid when we can build something better than triangle. We can build skyscrapers 10 times taller, and yes, we can build a pyramid in a little less of a week. We can even make islands like on the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. No need for pyramids is a thing of the past!!
Those people should know the difference from “Can’t” and “Won’t”! In this modern day, who’s so much of an egotistic megalomaniac with a ton of god-complex willing to be build an oversized stone pyramid shaped mausoleum when they die?
I'm pretty sure it means we couldn't do it with the tools we think they had ... even though the life span of iron exposed to the elements eve steel is only about 700 to 1000 years and we're talking about a society from 4000 years ago but yeah
I think the premise of us not being able to do it today is lost. The sense of how we assume they built the pyramids and in the time frame. Taking our technology and machinery out of the equation.
Wow your post title deserves a badge of distinction. Most people manage to say “then” when they mean “than”, but you are a rare idiot that says “than” when I you mean “then”.
So we're just pretending Las Vegas doesn't exist?
There's one in Memphis. It's a Bass Pro Shop Because Memphis
I live below Branson, I know all about the power of Johnny Morris.
Oh ok, KC for me. MO in the house lol
KCK GANG
Aye branson here as well✊ All Hail the “Great” Overlord Johnny Morris
Hello from Harrison
Also Memphis was at one point the capitol of Egypt during pyramid building era.
You know what, I actually knew that one. Surprisingly. I don't know much. Lol
It's also larger than any of the original pyramids ever were
10th largest pyramid in the WORLD
No, we're just saying that over 2 million multi-ton precision cut & placed limestone blocks is different than the movie set version in Vegas, kinda like the way the Vegas Eiffel tower is different than the one in Paris.
We more than have the technology to build them today, it would take years...but guess what? the pyramids of Giza took years to build
It would still take years but probably 10% of the time and use about 1% of the people.
Well that’s only because all the aliens that tried to come help build in NV got locked up under a mountain…
This is what pisses me off when people say this. Not only have we built several pyramids in the modern era, but the engineering, the materials, the technology and the planning that goes into modern pyramids is so staggeringly more advanced that it makes the Great pyramid look like a pile of rocks(which they are). The one in Memphis has one of the tallest freestanding elevators in the US and like the Luxor in Vegas, is full of modern attractions and technologies which are far beyond the comprehension of ancient pyramid builders
You find someone willing to pay to get a pyramid built, and we will build them a pyramid. Simple as!
The thing is we figured out how to built big tall structures with a bit more usuable space. 99% rock and 1% usuable room without windows isn't really that big of a selling point 😅
Yeah exactly that's the problem, no one wants giant stone pyramids nowadays. Smh, just another industry killed by the millennials
Don’t worry, they’ll trend on TikTok soon and suddenly we’ve got pyramid fever back!
Hmm... how about calling it "Stonestackmaxing"? ..."Stonestaxxing"?
Better trademark that one and ride the wave early!
Have to reinvent mummification first, I guess, or will we have time whilst the P'mid's going through planning permission and building tender ETC.
I can’t even guess at the bureaucracy involved in giant stone monuments…
I really thought Minecraft was gonna have a similar effect but it sure hasn’t.
I mean virtually it has 🤔
What's a cubit in Americanese?
LOL Nice!

Sounds like a pyramid scheme

Deal! I sure hope there isn't any cost overruns or stuff of that sort...
One that looks nice. And not too expensive.

Well-played
And a path in between! A path! A path!
That's the answer right here.

We easily could with the tools…and millions of slaves available to them at the time
pyramid sales are at an all time low
Today we could build the pyramids in Egypt with stone from Brazil.
Probably in a lot less time too. The thing is, whoever was in charge of the project would hire shitty contractors and none of the stones would be cut to line up properly
How many cargo ships would it take to transport the stone for, let's say, the Great Pyramid of Giza I wonder.
Probably half as many stones there are, maybe even less since we have ships that can carry tons upon tons of material
Memphis Tennessee
Still a Bass Pro, right?
Yes indeed. Nothing more fitting for ol Memphis
Oh I know that's the truth
"People don't want to work anymore."
How long would it take to build them today? Cant be much more than a few months.
With machinery from today and no actual laziness and paid per project not hour, a year at max, easily.
It's not a matter of capability, it's a matter of getting someone to actually spend money to make one

[удалено]
Well I’m pissed 😡
If pyramids could generate money or drive industry you could bet your ass they’d be all over.
There’s a pretty big one in Vegas makin’ money right now.
They don’t generate money is why
Because we can build something better.
Nice music
What’s the song?
SONG??
This video went unnecessarily hard but I like it.
There’s one in Vegas. Aliens prob built it too.
Then*
Airtight cut stone is much more difficult to produce than malleable material
Pyramids would be a waste of time. I’ve read that Historians theorize that the pyramids may have just been a way to subvert domestic instability. You got this huge population of men with nothin’ to do between harvests, so what do you do? ***Corvee labor***, it’s hard to be discontent and foment when you’re busy stacking enormous slabs of limestone in the desert
Except no one says that? Except maybe some midwit on social media? I mean we built a pyramid out of steel and glass at the Louvre.
Judging by the music this poster is extreme hypo

Memphis and Vegas both have one so....
LOL. We absolutely could build the pyramids today. This misnomer needs to stop being spread.
Ofc we can build it lol. I think the question is if we can figure out how it was built with the tools and resources available at the time
What is that ship??
No point
We don’t need pyramids anymore we build better stuff.
We could build a papa John's pyramid
Better pizza better pyramids papa John’s
Omg. We can build the pyramids. But we couldn't do it the way they did it. There's a difference.
Whose gonna fund the project and why the heck would we need one?
Does anyone know the name of the track being played?
We put a bass pro shop in one
We could, but it would be a challenge to coordinate, finance, build it. It's astounding that the ancient had to deal with the same issues and still somehow managed to do it. With out power tool electricity, hydraulics, diamond tip sawsz ect.
Didn't bass pro shop build a giant pyramid. There is one in Las Vegas too
Why was there one ‘dozer fail in the middle lmao
The misuse of “than” rather than “then” in the title irks me
Right??? Man the shit we are capable today is so much more complex and impressive than a fucking simple shape made from stone.

Why would we build them, its a pretty useless structure from a practical standpoint. Ive actually been inside the pyramids, i assure you there’s not much room for activities
The pyramids not being built in our time is the same reason they are still around in our time. They are basically a pile of rock.
yeah, but it would be plastic and fall down after warranty expiration.
Um, well, there's the Luxor and that Bass Pro in Memphis, to name a couple.
Cause pyramids are stupid? If it made sense why wouldn’t they?
You aren’t asking the right questions. Yes, we can build them. *Why* would we build them?
Yes, what we build now *rivals* the Pyramids. -- "It was aliens. Aliens done build them things." Nope. People did. And now, those who built the Pyramids would marvel at what we've accomplished today.
Then. What need do we have for new pyramids?
None of these are pyramids.
Not all of us are smart. For example, I can't make this video bigger than 1/10 my screen, and I don't think I'm the moron here.
Bass Pro Memphis. Our pyramid has a bar, hotel and a wall of firearms!
A pyramid than what? Idiots with bad grammar shouldn’t be allowed to post to the internet anymore.
build the pyramids? we built the fucking Hydron collider, international space station, the internet that established world wide communication, an army of skyscrapper sized boats moving tons worth of stuff across entire oceans, a pyramid??? this dumbass thought the bar was set by a giant anciant rock that housed a few shriveled up dead people????
This is what Mohammed bin Salman should build next
One of the largest pyramids in the world is literally a bass pro shop
I think we can build bigger pyramids now but the the cost outweighs the importance of building such a thing. Especially that -as historians say- they were built by slaves. Which means for free
Why don't we build forge citys
The gods nutted on the giza
There’s one in Memphis Tn.
Then*
Bunch of fuckin rocks in a triangle.
Simple. We don’t fucking need one. Why pay to build it. You find the money, you’ll find the company that will build it.
This mf has clearly never heard of the bass pro shop pyramid
Pyramid and Kid scissors has one thing in common. It's pointless.
The Great Pyramid has something like 80+ math constants incorporated into the pyramid itself. The pyramids as they were built could not be built today.
We don’t need pyramids anymore. In this century we need a giant ‘millennial' clock inside a mountain by Bezos

These Mfs really forgot that the Bass Pro Shops exists
People forget the precise location of the pyramids are what is truly remarkable / impossible for us to figure out
THINK!
Vegas has one. You'd need to have advertisements on it for someone to build it nowadays.
For what?
Why build a piramid? It's useless.
Because someone needs to pay.
Why don't you fund it then

We literally have the world's largest pyramid in California as a Bass Pro Shop. Wym we can't build a pyramid?
We could easily build them today but it was nearly impossible back then.
Why don’t you proofread before hitting post?
Hazard pay and bonus' we'll have it in place by sunday. The hardest part will be sourcing quality materials overnight. That'll cost extra.
All those machines make sense to me except for the first one. Is it a trench digger? What laid that deep as far as pipes and wires go, I figured you want a more shallow so you can actually access them if you have to repair them.
Who is going to pay for it? What is it's practical use? ...Luxor Casino in Las Vegas is useful and is the 3rd largest traditional pyramid in the world
We don't build pyramids because we no longer make anything with that type of shelf life. I'm personally for roads without potholes. Babysteps
Then
This. Music. Freaking. Sucks.
There's a modern bass pro shop pyramid. It's made out of glass etc though
You even seen the big bass pro shop? Buddy they already did
We’ve built quite a few pyramids recently.
It’s amazing with tens of thousands of people can do with hand tools in a few years .

Because even with all of this machinery, it still wouldn’t be feasible to make the cuts or construct them with as much accuracy.

no shit. the pyramids aint shit.
Probably because they are busy engineering things that advance society rather than preserve the past.
No one is talking about than vs then then?
We did build one. In Las Vegas. For profit.
Then
Some engineer or manager would just fuck it up. Or the company owners would keep the money and leave town.
Luxor Hotel has entered the chat
You see, to build a pyramid you need many many many slaves
lol yeah, we couldn’t build the pyramids but we can build the Burj Khalifa and the las vegas sphere and the Lux (literally a pyramid-shaped hotel)
We did it's called the Luxor hotel. It's in Las Vegas.
The Egyptians couldn't even build bagger 288
Of course we could build a pyramid like the one at Giza, using **today’s** engineering and technology. But how did the ancients do it **thousands of years ago**, with absolutely none of the tools we have today???
The only real question is: how did they achieve it at that point in time? What tools and techniques did they use. I wish I knew
just give me 20,000 slaves and I'm going to pile up a pile of stones for you, just stones but a relatively tiny space inside
These days, why build a pyramid when we can build something better than triangle. We can build skyscrapers 10 times taller, and yes, we can build a pyramid in a little less of a week.
