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 biggest pyramid, the Great Pyramid at Giza, is said to have been built in 20 years from 4.3 million 3-tonne blocks. That’s laying one block every five minutes, day and night, for 20 years.
Cutting a block of granite, 560 miles away, would have taken four men four days.
The base of the pyramid is level to within 0.8 inches. It aligns North / South East / West to within a tenth of a degree.

So yes, we can understand how to cut and move one stone. But keeping that going, at such accuracy, at such a rate, for twenty years, is an astonishing feat.
