Believe it or not, no aliens were likely involved! Just some very smart humans and a massive amount of labor.

    In other words, no such theories exist.

    Believe it or not, it is not my job to prove that you say true things.

      It seems like you’re out for blood, my friend.

      I’ve cited three academic scientists in this conversation. You’re welcome to check them out if you want.

        None of your cited scientists make the claim that Egyptians did not move large blocks of stone by pulling them. That was your claim.

          Wow, you really got bodied in this debate. This dude came with actual info and you kinda went full debate bro on him.

          I’m sure I’ll see you picking up some wins in another thread.

            His “actual info” didn’t prove what he claimed. Did you actually look it up or did you just assume he was telling the truth about it?

              I think you might be one of those expert on everything types, it works really well with political garbage, but when you’re talking about historical studies of the Egyptian old kingdom that they base on modern calculations of physics using pictographs as a reference… Like it’s just sounds silly I guess.

              You are arguing for a heterodox interpretation of labor based on pictures drawn by the ruling party that has potentially tens of thousands of people building a giant stone monument, when modern scientists JUST discovered a river they only JUST realized might be there.

              Like you just really really need to be right about a field of study that’s had like 15 sea changes over the last couple hundred years. It’s odd!

                  Yeah, if that’s your take away I guess posting a pictograph and saying “nuh uh” being the crux of your argument on a body of study who’s modern history goes back to sprinkling mummy dust on your breakfast makes perfect sense.

                  Keep up this good!

                    My takeaway was that the scientists he claim support this idea that they weren’t dragged do not say they weren’t dragged.

                    I’m not sure why you think “their claim about what those scientists said isn’t true” isn’t good enough…
