Nancy Pelosi deemed them to be weightless until they were in place.

Sometimes it’s better to be dumb. If they hadn’t figured it out, maybe they wouldn’t wasted all that time building the pyramids.

Good to remember when Obama enslaves the masses to build his pyramid.

dampening the sand in front of the primitive device reduces friction on the sled, making it easier to operate.

Let me see if I've got this straight? If the surface is wet, the coefficient of friction is reduced?? Wow, maybe that explains why I go into wild spins every time I drive in the rain! Maybe next time I'll try slowing down in the rain!

Who knew???

Not as big of a stonewall as the Obama regime.

The ancient Egyptians had the "secret ingredient": MORE slaves than they knew what to do with. They conquered and enslaved and thus had a ton of slaves to do slave labor to make and move the tons of sand and brick.

We saw the pyramids and the sphinx in person. They are amazing. The climate? Horrible. They were, without doubt, truly an amazing culture, but they didn't continue on forever. By the end of the B.C. era they had been replaced by Arabs. Arabs AIN'T no Egyptians.

TODAY, Egypt is Arab. We loved our two visits there while we were living and working in the middle east. The Egyptians, at the time, really LIKED Americans. I was so used to the world view, that Americans suck, that I enjoyed being where we were liked.
I have nothing but good things to say about Egypt. It's a shame that it's Arab now and turning to s*** something less that it used to be. Oh well, nothing's perfect.

That’s BS. Obviously, the ET’s levitated the dam@ed rocks with their tractor beams.

Nothing new here. Perfect non-story. This has been known for years.

I think they just sprayed the rocks with WD-40.

When I read that they moved these stones use ‘dampened sand’ I just laughed.....Once again the folks trying to explain what they have no way of explaining just decide to go off on their own and come up with a theory they have no way of proving.

It is almost as much fun as listening to astronomers telling me about the light they have just seen that is evidence of something that happened 15 billion years ago.......

Until the master of knowing all, no matter how important or insignificant, speaks on the subject I will be withholding giving credence to this theory..... calling Slow Joe Biden!

Edward Leedskalnin said he figured it out decades ago. He never shared his Coral Castle secrets though.

Well, now they need to explain where they found that much water and how they hauled that much water. Water is really really heavy.
