Quantum claimed on several threads that they were built by white guys with beer guts from Asgard.

Sure I did. Still can't get over the fact that there was no worldwide black empire, with or without aliens.

Yeah you did. Then you changed it up and claimed Neil Armstrong went back in time using a tesseract and built them with the help of the Klingons. You would say anything to pretend that Black people did not built the first and still standing civilization.

I know you remember that.

Egyptians' pyramid construction secret revealed

University of Amsterdam researchers found that ancient Egyptians employed what Phys.org calls a "clever trick" to facilitate the pyramids' construction: They likely wet the sand along the path they dragged their sleds, which were laden with pyramid stones weighing some 2.5 tons, reports Gizmodo.

This greatly lessened the power needed to pull the sledge from the quarry to the construction site—so much so that the number of people needed to pull the sledge could be cut in half.

This trick was "staring [researchers] in the face all along," notes Gizmodo: A wall painting found in an Egyptian tomb shows slaves hauling a sled loaded with a huge statue; in front of them is a person pouring water into the sand.

No slaves ….. but well paid workers!
