Here we go again with the ‘science of egyptology’.

“27 years to build.”

2 million blocks.

Roughly 10,000 days to build (for easy math).

or 240,000 hours.

That means they placed a block of stone roughly every 7 minutes, 24 hours/day.

I would LOVE to see them demonstrate that amazing feat with MODERN technology... /s

And I’m supposed to be in ‘awe’ of their consequent speculations.

Nope.

2000000/20=100000 a year
100000/365 days =273.9726027397 per day

2 million blocks works out to 274 blocks a day for 20 years.

At 10 or 11 blocks per hour, using multiple crews at the site, plus more numerous involved in the block production crews (assuming they were quarried), it’s not some great leap of faith.

Scaling production is also how the work crews were fed. The actual bakeries and whatnot were excavated in the past 20-25 years. A large number of ordinary bakeries were built nearby to support the construction.

The whole effort was no building the Giza complex. The monuments were build on one grand golden angle plan - all are interconnected by golden angles and Fibonacci spirals,

The only dating test (Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ) on the smallest and supposedly the newest one, came out 500 years older than thought. No further tests were permitted by the Antiquities Dept.

What they found was the restoration of previously existing monuments. Which at the minimum preceded the Archaic Period ( followed by the Old Kingdom Period ).

All of Ancient Egyptian dating is currently based on various Kings Lists, some of which are known forgeries, but are included anyway.
