They landed, said "let's build some huge triangles for shits and giggles" and then they fucked off.

3000 years ago they were already 1000 years old.

This is a repost from a 1000 years ago.

Now they only visit occasionally for surprise proctology exams.

They're only checking if our civilization is still at the talking-out-of-our-asses stage.

"it's a little warm for October" - aliens probably

The "great wonders" of this world typically derive from some form of slavery/exploitation.

[-] Carvex@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

Skilled paid stonemasons were required to build the tight fitting surface stones of this one, so some of the laborers were definitely not slaves, howeveri believe you're correct I doubt the sled drag team was salary.

[-] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Why can't you have skilled slaves?

[-] unnecessarygoat@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

maybe it wasn't worth teaching slaves how to properly build the pyramids and it was easier to get already educated citizens to build them

[-] KMohZaid@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Oh so our ancestors real name was alien?

Aliens hate white people. Everyone else got incredible temples, statues and monuments from them. The whites only got anal probes.

aaah - she's taking a photo. I was wondering what she was shoving in her face. The bottom part is already an ancient pic in itself.

michael-laugh one of my all time favorites right here. 99% of pseudo-archeology/ancient aliens stuff is just this

[-] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Life is fair somehow. I'm sure that future Alien archeologists will imply our extinction to some unclear natural phenomenon, because

Nice try.

Everyone knows they were built using ancient trading cards.

Fifty years later "Fred who?"

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net -1 points 11 months ago

The real elephant-in-the-room is that wypipo tech comes from aliens

wp have existed for almost 4000 years, but only went ahead of the rest of the world in the last 400

Tesla was undebatably of alien origin, you simply need to look at his face. All of earth's history is just extraterrestrial proxy wars, and we can barely even perceive, much less understand, the tools they use to fight them

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world -4 points 11 months ago

Sooo ... How did they do it? Not with ramps. Not with triangular cranes. Not with aliens, so much is for sure, but how? Tell me.

[-] lorty@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Why couldn't it have been ramps?

[-] sagrotan@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

They actually don't really know how they did it, there are the voices that say ramps would've been so enormous that they wouldn't have been practical in a realistic sense: https://www.cheops-pyramide.ch/khufu-pyramid/pyramid-theories.html There are supporters of the lever theory, even several different methods depending on the progress of the construction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pyramid_construction_techniques?wprov=sfla1 But as I understand it as a complete layman ( my only qualification would be that my ex girlfriend was an egyptoligist) that the more they examine it, the more voices raise against a solely ramp method. The old egyptian were highly pragmatic & efficient, so I've heard, and the stones were gigantic, sand ramps are at least partly unpredictable & sand is not the stiffest construction material - sooo, I don't really know & as far as I know, science doesn't either, at least no exhaustive answer. So far

Wet sand, along with pulleys and lots and lots of man power, and using the Nile to float stones from upstream to the building site. More complicated than that, but yeah.
