How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

Did I neglect to mention that during the day the lightest breeze disperses CO2 making it harmless. At night the wind slows and CO2 puddles in low lying areas killing every living thing that wanders into it.

Lord of fear.

If all the animals around you are dying tip toe and hurry to higher ground;

722c. Thy foot shall not pass over, thy step shall not stride through,
722d. thou shalt not tread upon the (corpse)-secretion of Osiris.
723a. Thou shalt tiptoe heaven like Śȝḥ (the toe-star); thy soul shall be pointed like Sothis (the pointed-star).

There are I believe 6 carbonated lakes in the world and they are all in Africa.

"In the Monoun disaster, 37 people died after walking into a visible cloud around the lake."

I can't imagine ancient people walking down into a cloud. At least not in Egypt.

The largest is Lake Kivu in Congo/ Rwanda and is home to 2,000,000 people. It is too large to siphon off all the CO2 but they do remove some as well as lots of methane used for fuel. People who live here know about CO2 because it kills several children a year since they are too short to tiptoe and hurry away. The lake itself is dangerous and there's no way to know when it becomes unstable so evacuations can begin. Africa is also home to CO2 vents and some cold water geysers. The travertine mines up and down the Nile River are likely the product of carbonic acid deposition. There are warm springs only a few miles from Giza and this area sits on a transform plate boundary that is expected to begin spreading imminently. Earthquakes while not common can be severe. The Nile in this area was once a canyon 1.6 miles deep which I believe is significantly deeper than the grand Canyon. There are caves to great depth and two aquifers flow under here where the crust is a mere 22 miles thick.

About 3% of people (including myself) can smell CO2. I suppose I'm descended from people who survived a localized bottleneck from CO2.

Egyptologists don't know anything about this stuff so how are they going to see the nature of "I3.t-wt.t"? They likely don't know much about CO2 either. They don't even know that "I3.t-wt.t" is osiris sweat despite dozens of clues in the writing. (and my continually pointing it out)

So here we are with everyone knowing everything and most of all they know I'm wrong about everything. Homo omnisciencis. People dismiss everyone who doesn't agree and they dismiss the stinky footed bumpkins who wrote the PT. Me? I know for a fact (axiomatically) that everyone makes sense but here I am with the ancients and we don't make any sense at all.

You have been throwing a lot of stones,

1503a. His head is lifted up by Rē‘; his odour is [as] that of the ’Iḫ.t-wt.t-serpent.
1503b. The head of N. also is lifted up by Rē‘; the odour of N. is as that of ’Iḫ.t-wt.t-serpent.

1729b. It is agreeable to thy nose on account of the smell of the ’iḫ.t-wt.t-crown.

I have always thought it bizarre that we believe rocks were cut from a quarry and then transported to the pyramid building site.

It is what he Egyptians did regardless of your bizarre thinking,

We know reconstituted lime blocks make for a far, far, better building material and explains in simple terms how the pyramids could have been constructed.

For example, this ramp discovered at the rock quarry is, IMO, an ancient limestone rock crusher, and was used to drop a much heavier, and harder, rock, such as quartz, onto the limestone to smash into smaller pieces.

Good thing it is Your opinion. No evidence of an ancient brick crusher.

These pieces could have then been put into an ancient bronze mixer, combined with smaller quartz or granite rocks, to break down the limestone even further into dust like we use today.

Yes the Egyptians formed some primitive concrete building stones.

Apparently the post you quoted has been deleted and I don't recall it.

I do say worse things about Egyptology I guess. In my defense I don't throw stones at peoples beliefs if they aren't presented as science. It's a weak defense I admit. Try to remember though these guys have had me hanging out to dry for twenty years and young earth creationists have never done anything to me.

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.

Yes the Egyptians formed some primitive concrete building stones.

How did they do that?
