How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?

It is finished with a white limestone cast, which would make a smooth surface upon which to move large objects.



What are you on about? If you are going to reply to me, keep your condescending muppetry to zero.

You are the one proposing a reconstituted surface, why? Have you never seen a marble countertop, they are very smooth? Why do you think they used something like Corian?

Questions are good, but some time needs to be spent thinking about what you already know.

No, you just insist on using your ignorance of physics and personal desires to insist that you are right in opposition to all evidence.

So you just dismiss the evidence and logic.

You could be an Egyptologist.

No I dismiss arguments based on alternative understanding of concepts such as claiming that black is white or ramps were not used because in spite of ramps having been used since the dawn of civilization and probably before that someone cannot find a word that satisfies them that they did not use them in spite of describing ramps in their own explanation. I also dismiss claims that require an unevidenced being to perform physical functions.
Generally logic requires one to provide a series of ideas that build on each other and are not contradictory or requiring personal opinion as opposed to demonstrability.

I am left with the question of what an Egyptologist even is other than another who disagrees with your use of language.

 

[cladking]

Let me see if I understand this.

Since the ancients said the Gods built the pyramids then ipso facto they were bumpkins who mustta used ramps.

It's irrelevant I can make predictions by solving what the nature of these gods were because it's already established they could only have used ramps.

You really should address more of my arguments if you want to be taken seriously.

I hate to break this to you but the surface of the earth is not covered in ramps going in every direction and trod by bumpkins.

The builders did not drag stones up 72 degree ramps. Linear funiculars ran on surfaces with 72 degree slopes.

All believers ever have are semantical arguments. Just words with no meaning except what they impart to it.

The alternative that blocks were cut on an angle that was precise with the tools they had, and then somehow surgically attached to the existing blocks, is inane.

Questions are good, but some time needs to be spent thinking about what you already know.

Gun to your head, you need to decide what you think is the most plausible approach based on what we know.

Casting or cut blocks?
