Yes, I’m familiar with him moving blocks around. I think that he makes good points about transporting blocks, but he didn’t show if he could build a pyramid with his method. I think that the Egyptians used basic physics to move the blocks and that it’s not mysterious but a lack of understanding.

That is really impressive. He took the very basic principle of leverage and learned to use it in numerous creative ways. It is definitely something that could be thought of and applied by nearly any culture. An extremely simple and effective technology.

I like it. No “aliens”, just simple knowledge and a little ingenuity.

Yes, multiply the effort by the tons of stone and total mass of something like the pyramids and you still have a requirement for a huge amount of human labor, but nothing that was not doable when you could command all the labor you wanted.

Now did he cut out and carve that stone or concrete block with his copper chisels.
