The Egyptian pyramids remain to be a mystery up to date. No one knows how they were designed or built. With the current technology, nobody can build the pyramids as they are today. Several questions remain unanswered:

1. The biggest pyramid was built using about 170 million kilograms of stone. Near the pyramids, there was no stones. So the stones were transported from far off places to Giza. How did they transport such huge boulders with an average weight of 1500 kilos?

2. According to some accounts, the people who built the pyramids for the pharaoh were blacks. Egypt was occupied by black Africans about 4-5000 years ago.

3. How long did it take the pyramids to be built? some accounts state that with 5000 strong men working 12 hours a day non stop, it could have taken them more than 50 years to build the biggest pyramid.

4. What technologies did they use in stacking the stones upto heights of about 500 feet high?

5. The most suprising part of the pyramids is that they have mathematical and solar and lunar connotations. For instance, the pyramid is the only man made structure that points to the True North at the tip, with an error of less than 0.01 of a millimeter. A lot of mathematical formulas point out that the pyramids were not just constructed without due consideration. In fact, there is a relationship between the base area of the pyramid with the diameter and circumference of the earth.

6. The question now is, and scientists havent been able to answer, who, when and how were the pyramids of Gaza built? This is teh only thing that has never been demystified.

7. There is a theory by some conspirasists that there is a generation of great civilization that mysteriously disappeared from earth without any trace. The guys believe that, there is a very big gap on how the Egyptian story unfolds and how people who are percived to have been very primitive conceived and actualized the idea of building the worlds greatest wonder of the world.

What say you?

1. There is no mystery IMHO. The Egyptians and Mesopotamians were the most advanced civilisations of their time and they invented hydraulic levers and pulleys.
2. Egyptian civilisation cannot be said to be "ancient" in terms of backwards. It was a dominant civilisation spanning several dynasties, dominating the middle east and the nubian regions for thousands of years. It's a historical fact that some of the dynasties were black, some semite, some greek and some mixed. The bottomline is that Egypt is was an African civilisation just as Nubia, Kush, Mali and others.
3. In addition to tools and buildings the egyptian civilisation gave the world religion, navigation,and writing.
4. The current controversy on the ability of "ancient" Egyptians is a result of colonialism and scramble for Africa in the 19th Century. A deliberate push to dehumanize Africans and justify colonisation. Note that they started by saying ancient Egyptians were Caucasian. When that theory was proved wrong, they said that pyramids were build by an alien ("white") race.
5. The thing is that modern western driven civilisation borrowed heavily from Africa, the Middle East and China but Africa's contributions are greatly downplayed.

Your first part is not factual. The current technologies have build buildings and features far more superior to the pyramids.
But it's true, how they pulled it off still remains a mystery.

BBI will solve it

they just threw human suffering and despair at them and got them built!! it's amazing what you can pull off by not giving a s*it about people. just capture a bunch of people who don't look like you and use them. they can die in their hundreds per day but there is more where they came from. The maya and aztec did it... everyone who has ever done anything great has done that...

anyone who has seen them with their bare eyes can testify that they are really quite something!!

If God wills, this is in my bucket list before 2019.......the mysteries surrounding them has made me read a lot of things, and watch lots of documentaries ...

Its true, i want you to assume this scenario....we are back 4000 years ago, no computer, no complex machines, no ArchiCad, no nothing......how could they lift 1500 kilograms stones 500 feet high!!!

As to how those guys were able to decipher how the solar system operates, the dimensions of the earth, the accurate true north and all those design details, I dont think its doable without the help of complex computers and serious studies. Civilizations might have been there, but I doubt if they could pull off such massive stunts....

Just because white people cannot figure out how they got red granite blocks which weigh something close to 50 tonnes from Aswan to Cairo by water - doesn't mean "it was Aliens". It just means we don't know!!! Anyone read anything about Edward Leedskalnin and his coral castle?

From the popular "Of course.......but maybe".

You know after you introduced our friend Louise CK, I became a great fan. Sad to note he has also been caught up in the unraveling Hollywood sex mega-scandal.

Really sad isn't it? I am struggling to separate the art from the artist - haven't watched a single clip of his since then.
