If it is still an unsolved mystery no thinking is too bizarre.
Any rock harder than limestone, which has a Mohs score of 3, like quartz, would be more than sufficient.
How did they do that?
Unlike you I’m here to learn, not condescend.
Since I became aware of the 60 tonne granite stones used in the Pharoahs room I have had to consider ramps.
Although an SUV is still about 40 times short of the reality.
This is about vengeance and redemption, not retribution.
The question is, who’s?
The vengeance is upon Edom, yes, but so is the redemption.
The main character speaking is a “wise man of Edom”, a man “of understanding of the mountains of Esau” who is Obadiah, the Edomite prophet.
I believe...
The pyramid can be used as a ramp, yes, and it would have been necessary to move the 60tonne granite slabs.
I imagine the pyramid base would have started out at 30 degrees or less to do this.
However, for the rest of the pyramid casting blocks makes more sense.
It’s my interpretation. The arm of the Lord has been revealed to the Israelites through Moses.
The person being described is a slave of Israel, of which there are different types and lengths of servitude.
Unfortunately there was a period of time when slaves were being mistreated and not...
The first statement is very important, “who has believed our message”, being who knows God is the one true God without equal, flows on to the next, which is, “to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?” which I read to say “who is a Jew?”.
The answer should be one and the same, meaning to all...
Consider a ramp.
An incline would need to be cut from the stone if moving it along the structure. The steeper the incline, the more difficult to position the stone flush against it so to move it.
Or a ramp would have to be constructed. The two ramps founds so far have not been at the pyramid...
Yes it is definitional.
However, the properties of reconstituted limestone is better than both both natural limestone and concrete.
Problem with any “concrete” is that it will shrink and crack, which suggests an inferior product to cut stone.
Accepting limestone was used for the Meidum pyramid, the sizes of the blocks appear far smaller than what has been used in Giza.
It also seems to have been built on top of a stone structure.

Correct. No evidence. Nor can modern engineering provide and definitive answer!
You need to read your sources.
