Do you guys think the Egyptian pyramids are "overplayed"? ( conspiracy )

submitted by QigongBong

I was watching a documentary on the Ellora in India and was like why isn't this talked about wayyy more than the pyramids? The pyramids were built from stones cut out of the earth, still an amazing feat but with maybe 10's of 1000's of slaves I could see how they could maybe do that in a few decades like they claim but there are still many documentaries saying "How were the pyramids made? By aliens?" Not saying they weren't but they seem to be the one thing that could actually be explained.

The Ellora was carved out of the side of a mountain and is one single piece! The entire building and all it's fine details, there wasn't blocks put in anywhere just stuff taken out. In my opinion this isn't something that you could simply throw more slaves at, even if there was a worker/slave every 2 square feet I don't see how it could have been built in a few years, also one fucking mistake and you would see it! Every single worker with a chisel would have to have laser accuracy and not one of them made a mistake once? I dunno it looks like it was machine made?

My question to you good fellows and fellowesses of v/conspiracy do you think that maybe they prop up the pyramids in hopes that we ignore the more difficult to explain wonders of the world on purpose because at the end of the day there is an easier path to a basic explanation of how the pyramids were built but wonders like the Ellora raise more questions about the technology of the ancient world?

That depends on your stone and your concrete. Georgian stone (1714-1830 AD). Roman concrete (118–128 AD)

Aliens would have poured concrete.

Yes, they're "overplayed". The pyramids are completely explicable within what is known about Egypt.

the explanations of all that stuff in the book were more interesting than the main spaceship story. I still need to get into the second book though. There's other stuff throughout the world that can only he seen from either from space or flight. So were they talking to imaginary gods or were there "people" up there that they saw flying around?

Ancestors were masters masons. We can't build stone pyramids or anything like it with our modern tech. I think they are pretty worthy of awe.

Other cool things:

Petra's entrance was carved from a single rock face from the top down.

We still don't know how the stones of Puma punku were cut and erected.

"Area 51" by Bob Mayer brings up the pyramids as being becons to "our" home world. I've made mention to that book a few times now as it makes mention of conspiracy stuff with explanations that make sense.

why not? there's some pretty cool stuff put there that would require some serious thought amd discussion on how it came to be. Thought provoking stuff seems to have disapeared from tv.

no doubt they have covered up early industrialization and machinery that were used to engineer the roads, pyramids and other features of the ancient world.

if there was a worker/slave every 2 square feet I don't see how it could have been built in a few years, also one fucking mistake and you would see it!

The builders were likely educated and trained in architecture and more like "blue collar" middle class workers than "slaves"

slaves would not be able to do the "laser" precision work but would be much better at the raw manpower to most importantly provide food and deliver raw materials to the artisans.

Careful what you're thinking... You don't want have to commit suicide! Anyhow, interesting point. Do you have any other examples beyond the Elloea?
