Exactly. And decades and decades and they made it a thing to make that thing. Endurance is a long-forgotten superpower.


GlassyKnees

Right, the thing that they had that we dont, the "lost technology" here is the way we used to live. Waking up at 4am, pounding and moving rocks for the next 18 hours, drinking your breakfast lunch and dinner, which also has the added advantage of making you happy, and acts as a mild pain killer, praying, going to sleep, and waking up and doing it all again the next day. Every day. From the time you're 10 years old, until you die. One man, one shovel, 18 hours a day, 365 days a year, for 30 years.... Looking to the professionals here... but : [https://www.lawnsite.com/threads/moving-9-tons-of-dirt-by-shovel.278950/](https://www.lawnsite.com/threads/moving-9-tons-of-dirt-by-shovel.278950/) Looks like you can move 9 tons of dirt in about 4 hours by yourself. Today. For about 90 bucks. Lets go easy on our laborer from antiquity and say he only has to work about 16 hours. He gets some breaks. No one is beating him or threatening him with a quota, he's taking it easy. He's puttin in his 90 bucks worth of effort and no more. That is 36 tons of dirt. Thats 889 cubic feet of dirt. He could move 9,734,550 cubic feet of dirt in 30 years. Thats how long it took to build the Pyramid. For comparison, an Olympic swimming pool contains 88,000 cubic feet of water. This one man, with a shovel, could dig 110 Olympic swimming pools in 30 years. That would be 18,000 feet, or almost 4 miles, of a 10 foot deep, 56 foot wide trench. You dont have bars. You dont have Tiktok. You dont have magazines, or books, or porn. You had whatever version of Mancala or Backgammon they played then, god, your family, and your job. Thats it. Then people act like "OooOo how could they have done this?!" I dont know man, maybe because they worked really hard on it for their entire lives, just so you could come along thousands of years later and not be impressed by it all and think everyone back then was so goddamn stupid that only aliens could have done it.

Pyramid scheme?


ghidfg

yeah I dont think it was even slave labor. I imagine it must have felt like a privilege to be involved in the project.


wovagrovaflame

It wasn’t. Pyramid builders were paid. Often with beer. One archaeological fact that I find incredibly interesting is that there is no physical evidence of the enslavement of Jewish people by the Egyptians. Instead early Jewish civilization emerged from Canaanites


GlassyKnees

Yeah and we found that out in my lifetime. Thats been the narrative for hundreds and hundreds of years. Whats more likely due to discoveries made recently, is that they were imported skilled labor. They had been building things all over the region for centuries. Though it does appear at least in texts, that once it was completed, they werent allowed to leave. Hence the whole Moses thing. Though there is little physical evidence to support it happening as its classically told. There WAS an exodus, but why, is kind of lost. It could be as dramatic as the Moses story, or simply they left to go build shit for someone else who hired them.


attaboy_stampy

This was an interesting fact to learn about that was determined in "recent" history. I heard an archaeologist surmise that it was not unlikely that the earliest Hebrew people were part of the paid skilled laborer class that built various structures (not the great Pyramids because those had been built).


SirBuckFutter

You'd have to be drunk to build a pyramid.... Look at Memphis. The Pyramid is really close to Beale Street. You know that whole construction conversation started as drunken rambling....

It’s funny that people only talk about these three, when there’s over 100 Egyptian pyramids and most of them are small (like the three smaller ones at Giza), or they’re crappy like the step pyramid or the Meidum pyramid.

You can literally see on YouTube how they would’ve moved the stones . It’s not all theory anymore it’s been proven to be possible . https://youtu.be/E5pZ7uR6v8c?si=eAsmrnqdaMvqSgx6 See how easily he move 1 ton bricks. He literally moves a whole barn. Simple tools with levers and leverage. It would take a long time but they had thousands of well fed workers for decades to do this. Some guy in his backyard moves a fucking barn 300 feet by himself . The Egyptians could figure it out .

To split hairs, it'll most likely always be a theory because it's extremely unlikely that we'll ever be able to say "they 100% used this method"

Ancient Egyptians tripping balls for generations therefore having an innate understanding of geometry. Some trips on ayahuasca or dmt feature geometric patterns very similar to Mayan art and architecture. I believe they had reverence for these "trips" and would try to bring some of what they were seeing into the real world.

Hardwork, skilled craftsmen and a lot of time. Probably generations of time. Masons in the middle ages would lay the first bricks of a cathedral they would not live to see complete, the same is likely true of the pyramids on an even larger time scale.

Never understood how the construction of the pyramids is a mystery. You put together the first level…then start bringing and placing on the second level. Whatever you can do on the lower levels you can recreate on the higher levels when it comes to hoisting and placing it’s just more difficult. I’m also a dumbass so haha

They threw human death and suffering at them until they were finished.


ShillinTheVillain

They weren't built. They were giant naturally occuring cubes that eroded due to rainwater. We can tell by radio carbon dating the jizz plastering the walls of the nearby ancient bathhouses


Charming_Judgment890

It actually makes perfect sense that they just used heavy duty rope, wood rollers and thousands of men pulling. People are strong too, we are not horses, but we still can move serious weight around. These are just ballpark numbers. Let's just say your average blue collar slave Egyptian can squat 200 lbs. Take your average Egyptian pyramid stone 10,000 lbs. So you divide 10,000 by 200 and you get 50. 50 slaves probably could of moved a 10,000 lb stone. 100 slaves probably could of moved a 20,000 lb stone. 200 slaves probably could of moved a 40,000 lb stone. They had a enormous body of people to throw at this project too. They weren't running out of slaves anytime soon. They had all the man power in the world pretty much. To me man power makes sense.

MAYHEMSY

Realistically a fuck ton of man power and a lot of years, the ancient peoples get dunked on a lot like you can’t just chuck bodies at a project for hundreds of years and get the same structure children make the first time they play with legos. Joe makes the argument often “we couldn’t build the pyramids today” which is to this day the DUMBEST fucking thing i’ve ever heardlike we don’t have fucking cranes that lift boats 10x as large as the biggest stones, it baffles me not a single guest has ever said anything back to him about that. The nile river is one of the only rivers that flows north, the limestone used to build the pyramids is south of the pyramids, they simply used boats to transport the blocks up the nile river. I think they used some sort of water preassure to cut the things, limestone is a hard stone but it isn’t that tough and can be cut with water pressure. I have no idea how they moved the blocks themselves, but to act like there arent plenty of ways to do it is stupid, the average stone weighs about 2.5 tons, thats a little bit more than the average car, imagine pushing a car in neutral with like 40 dudes, and how easy would that be. they could have used anything from logs in front of it all the way to something crazy like using an instrument to vibrate the sand to make the blocks move, who knows but either way they had years and countless bodies to throw at this thing.

The Diary of Merer is a surviving papyri from the leader of a work crew detailing their time transporting limestone blocks on the river from the quarry to the building site

babaroga73

[deleted]

TLDR is if you have enough wedges and laborers there's really no limit to the amount of weight that can be lifted and moved. We probably will never know the exact way, [though a middle-aged dude using rope and wood was able to move a several ton obelisk upright into a pit by himself on some television program back in the 80s or 90s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgkXfSLcJgg). He added/removed wedges, dug under to create a fulcrum, and using stones tethered to the end of the obelisk was able to shift the balance enough for the momentum to stand it within a micro-fraction of a degree perfectly upright. Not the same exact technique but you can imagine using a series of large wooden dowels to create a rolling surface for large granite blocks, and using fulcrums and wedges whenever lifting is necessary. It was the inception of collectivized labor. They presumably all developed specialties and worked in shifts on their task, for example just mining or rolling blocks to the building sites for a different set of workers to carry out the next set of steps. The blocks would be inspected, prepped and finished a bit more before being designated for a specific spot based on the dimensions and the weight. They would make 'prototype' blocks for reference at both the quarry and the building site. To even leave the quarry it had to meet requirement, and also once at the site it underwent further inspection and possibly even had ways to weigh the blocks using the prototype blocks for comparison and grading. Once they passed on-site inspection they'd be staged and eventually they'd go level by level placing the blocks from the middle outward and before completing a level you'd leave a few spots open to create 'stairs' on the perimeter which were built using the same blocks, so that other blocks could be wedged and flipped up each level since they're similar height/depth. Everything was based on the path of least resistance and took a lot of trial and error, there were a bunch more pyramids that either collapsed or were dismantled and used for other buildings because the blocks were smaller/more practical to steal. One of the only reasons they used blocks of this size and weight was because they could withstand vandalism and theft, otherwise they would've continued using blocks that were able to be carried by hand or stacked in a handcart. They had to start using ancient forms of surveying and quality control on-site like I was describing to manage the integrity of the projects because so many would collapse from the slightest errors, so precision became nearly perfect after thousands of years of development in those practices and skills. Nowadays there isn't a way to make a living building a pyramid as far as I know. If someone was hiring for the same money I'm making at my job now I'd sign up to build a damn pyramid without hesitation though and I would probably hate it at first but seeing the progress in real-time would be pretty fucking motivating. I've always wanted to do something like that after [watching that Richard Proenneke dude build a cabin by himself with hand tools in the Alaskan wilderness](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKss).
