What’s so crazy about the pyramids?

436 views

Like the title says.

Why does people still go around asking how they possibly were build, like it’s so complex?

I don’t see why it’s so impressive. Yes it’s heavy stones, but it’s it really that complex?

The part that’s complicated isn’t really the structure. They’re huge chunks of almost solid ~~granite~~ limestone megaliths, with some secret passages and stuff hidden in them, and that alone is pretty interesting. But the real thing that fascinates people is how they were built.

Not like, “how” how. A bunch of people made a bunch of ~~granite~~ limestone slabs (often not particularly precisely) and stacked them up into a pyramid shape. Not crazy. But how in the sense of how do you organise *that many* people, digging, cutting, transporting, assembling, feeding them, housing them, paying (maybe?) them, feeding, housing the people feeding and housing them etc over almost 30 years. The *logistics* of the whole this is insane.
