To play devil's advocate, what happens when you simply pile sand? It forms a conical structure, similar to a pyramid.
Maybe this is just a simple structure to build with stone
Oh, that it is. Usually the impressive part is the sheer scale of the construction, along with certain other details that are different for each pyramid. Not that any of it was beyond the technological means of the people back then, but in terms of organization, it implied a level of leadership and resource management not often seen in history. For lack of a better word, it really took god-kings to build those things.
2 million 5-10 ton blocks make up the great P.
divide that by how many days are in 25yrs.
youre telln my lumbering ass, some brown assholes (wait a minute) laid enough sandstone, to build it in 25 years?
quary was something like 75 miles a day.
2 MILLION.
apologies, my noggin literally told myself to fuck off.
Well, I did say the sheer scale tends to be the odd feature. In this case, it could have been:
A) built on top of a pre-existing ziggurat-type building - possible, since this happened early in the dynastic era, where Upper Egypt had yet to achieve complete dominance over Lower Egypt, and the pharaoh would have an interest in replacing local religious sites with ones devoted to his own religion. After all, that's what happened to the Sphinx, replacing its original sacred animal head with that of a pharaoh.
B) built using faster transportation means than we give them credit for. Namely, reed boats - reed has insane flotation capabilities, is readily available along the Nile, and would leave no lasting trace after use. Moreover, both reed and limestone get slippery when wet, so a flat causeway (of which there is on-site evidence) kept watered (of which the Egyptians were masters) would provide the perfect path for sliding the blocks to the building sites, boats and all. Now, it would still take a near-constant stream of stone to match that timeline, but then again, the pharaohs were exactly the kind of people capable of organizing logistics like that.
C) built using a combination of the above. Again, the pharaohs had every reason to claim they built the pyramids alone, within their own reign, and it would be easy for them to destroy any records saying otherwise. The actual distinguishing features of the pyramids as such are the cover and capstones - and those can easily fit the given timeframe by themselves.
There is much older. Far older in fact.

The above has virtually been proved. There are others that are still being debated.
They also leave out the pyramid in Bosnia, which is supposedly also 20.000+ years old.
Yes, but unproven. Although I am well aware of it and its non natural formation. Plenty more underwater with claims and ages undetermined.
Here is another

The problem is they don't fit the narrative of Rome invented Iron, and everything else was clay. No dating before Christ, and he gave education to all the monkeys. Meaning according to the narrative they cannot be older than 5000 years because there was no Iron, when Rome invented it. They have proved everybody came out of Africa, because it has the oldest pyramids, and it has the gorilla, and it's in the middle of the planet.
Underwater archaeology is incredibly interesting! It's high on my list of "things to do if I suddenly had a lot of money" :-) There's almost certainly something to be done by advancing the state of underwater drones a bit, and then automating the bulk of the survey work.
The problem is getting past the narrative. It's Ironclad. Finds have been reported numerously but then restrictions are imposed and they're further debunked. Or exploration is simply halted by threat of military navy. Where they're erased, and often ruled as natural geology. The ones exposed like Japan, even Incan, the one linked they try to tie into existing archaeology dating. Despite of no record.
Today it's becoming much harder. Because the younger Dryas impact has been quite proved. The impact crater has been found, but that assumption had been there for over a century. It was also known about for decades off the record. But it will take decades to insert into any history, and when it does they simply move the dates back to compensate. Like the neanderthal debate this year on coexistence.
But there are plenty of growing anomalies that are becoming much harder to refute.
India has huge claims and challenges currently with some of the underwater finds and the sanskrit recordings of them. What is the dating of Adam's Bridge and Dwarka. Others https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/9500-year-old-city-found-underwater-off-india-gautam-sen
Or Mayan finds. Now showing ages past 9000 years.
I doubt the record will be set straight. It hasn't. No time soon. Instead they just release another dinosaur to compensate.
No, it's bullshit history being rewritten after the reformation where all of two historians decided to reform human history and make up shit.
Rome obviously patented the Iron. Everything else before it, there was no real recording of, it's called clay. Or the Stone Age, better give them some bronze at about 2000 years BC just incase. Because they burnt the books. But they decided on BC/AD. BC is a period of 5000 years. Later somebody else added the monkeys. Nice and simple, and that way Christ can provide everybody else with an education.
Not quite, but yeah it's pretty much what happened.
Until today why the fuck are there all the dinos but the last 10-50k years is nothing but an assumption.
yes.
its argued that china has pyramids that are even older but the CCP aint gonna have none of that.

Question: how many of those worship some form of a sun god.
Seems logical to stack blocks higher to get closer to your god?
Oh, the similarities don't stop there, at least in the examples I've researched. Namely, the Egyptian Pyramids at Giza, the Mayan Pyramids at Chichen Itza, and the Khmer Pyramid at Kol Ker. In addition to sun worship, I've found the key feature to be the veneration of water cycles.
The Pyramids at Giza, built around the template of the earlier Elephantine Island Pyramid, are ultimately aligned with the sunrise on the date when Sirius appears on the night sky - signifying the start of the annual Nile flood. It might not seem like much to us, but in the absence of modern fertilization techniques, the Nile's ability to revitalize the soil was considered nothing short of supernatural, and a sign of the gods' favor.
The Pyramids at Chichen Itza are tied to the annual water level cycle of the cenotes - underground water reservoirs that are the cornerstones of Mayan agriculture. Again, simple to explain in modern day, but to the ancients, their ability to refill themselves every year was all but magical.
The Pyramid at Kol Ker was actually part of a large temple complex near the Tonle Sap lake. It appears there was a substantial rice field irrigation system around the lake and the complex.
My theory is, these pyramids in particular were designed as a kind of ritual calendars or sun dials, meant to track celestial bodies as a way to tell the exact date of the year for annual flood events. Even without the religious trappings, matters of agriculture were literal life-or-death affairs to the ancients, so you can understand why they were so venerated, and why so many people were eager to work on their construction.
thanks for info!
And ya, if your entire life revolved around something like rain and you didn't understand the water life cycle, precipitation etc, then it makes sense to worship and pray for such events.
The pyramid on Elephantine Island also deserves mention. Especially since it might just unravel the mystery of the Egyptian pyramids as a whole...
