Thats the mainstream explanation. And we see what the greeks were able to do with regular marble. But that is a 3 on the mohs scale.
Even then, all it takes is one chip and bloop the whole thing can crack. Doesnt really matter what your working with.
Im not saying its impossible, but if it was done by human hands it was by people who had amazing talent and skills. The part that gets me is there are so many of them.
The mainstream explanation is they used sand with silica quartz in it as a cutting/sanding lubricant basically. I could see them sticking it to bitumen and papyrus like sandpaper haha. But I just find it hard to believe they built the pyramid in 20 years using this technology. I dont care if they had 5 million people ^^ and it was supposedly done with 20,000-100,000 men. All master masonry workers? lol
Something doesnt add up about egypt, but we likely will never know the truth in our lifetimes. The government there and governments all over the world do a good job of cockblocking us from what really happened.
The pyramids weren't built from granite.
I really don't see what your point is. You say that you find it hard to believe and that "something doesn't add up but you cannot point out anything specific that you struggle with and why exactly.
There have been plenty of experiments showing that it's possible to shape granite with copper, abrasives, and stone in a relatively short amount of time so why is it that you cannot believe that people did the same thing thousand of years ago?
