    Also the current theory is, get ready for it…they used boats. They flooded the area the Pyramids were being built and just floated them in on barges. With water.

    ‘Beyond human thinking’ my ass.

      I don’t think that’s “the current theory”.

      I think you might be talking about digging canals. It’s conceivable that a canal would be built to take the rocks to the construction site. Just recently however we’ve found evidence of a tributary of the nile that flowed past the sites of a number of pyramids.

          Just launching them to the top with extreme precision so they land right into their spot.
