Do YOU believe KUFU built the greatest architectural spectacles of human history or do you believe he inherited them?

Look at the water erosion on the enclosure then compare it to the lack of erosion on "his" pyramid which was supposedly built under his reign.


Personally I believe the Egyptians inherited the great works they claim as their own.

I believe most of the Plateau was built pre Younger Dryas

From the civilization BEFORE the impact. The water erosion alone on the Sphinx predates them.
When was the last time the Plateau was that wet?

Look at the hieroglyphics on the seraphim boxes their really rough compared to the great work and precision of the boxes.

I work with the HARDEST stones on earth regularly. I do it with power tools. And my skill pales in comparison and not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty good.
Their shit is on another level. And egyptologists want me to believe it was done with a copper chisel and rock/wooden hammer???


Sorry but GTFO

Until politics and religion are permanently and completely removed from archaeology we won't get the whole truth. Archaeological human history is a closely edited and maintained mosaic of convoluted and often nonsensical storylines. It is edited to support both widely known and accepted religious and political narratives, which in turn shape the image and understanding of the distant past in the minds of billions—in the way arbiters of our lives wish it to be understood.

Them two stupid fucks couldn't build a pyramid with Legos and directions

But they were flying jet-powered hovercraft around the pyramids as they oversaw construction.

So am I. Those knuckleheads think west Africans were advanced well beyond the Egyptians of that era.

This thread isn't about west Africa. Not sure why we're going there.

Nubia may well have been ahead of Egypt

No deep thinkers here.... come on ya jackasses. You got plenty to say about my politics or my booze consumption.

It's problematic to underestimate the capabilities of our ancient forebearers. They accomplished some pretty amazing stuff in their time. More amazing because they were blazing trails without the benefit of knowledge we already possess.

An ancient ruler, with all the resources of his kingdom, and a nearly unlimited supply of labor and wealth could, if he wanted, accomplish some pretty amazing things.

One of my favorite examples is that of Eratosthenes who, in 250BCE, was able to measure the circumference of the round earth, to a high degree of accuracy (he was off by 7,000 miles out of 24,900 miles) using nothing but sticks to measure shadows, distance measurements paced out on foot, and his own brain.

Or the Eupalinian tunnel on Samos in the Greek Islands. 600 years BCE a tunnel was built over a kilometer in length that started from two separate sides of the island and met in the middle, only a few feet off of perfect alignment.

A few really smart people with lot of people to boss around can accomplish some really amazing things.
