The story I remember being told as a kid was that they built the great pyramid over the course of 20 years.
There are about 2,300,000 stones in the great pyramid.
They each weigh on average from 2.5 to 15 tonnes.
That means they would have had to cut, perfectly shape, quarry (from hundreds of kilometers away) and place 13 stones PER HOUR.
Let's say for shits and giggles that it took them 200 years to build it. That's still 1.3 stones per hour to cut, shape, quarry and place.... absolutely perfectly.
Impossible.
Either it took them thousands of years to build the great pyramid using construction methods we still can't agree on, or we have the entire thing completely wrong from stem to stern.
It's a real head scratcher so I appreciate a post like this.

I assumed they worked on more then one stone at a time lmfao
