I once read were a guy said climbing up the pyramid isn’t a problem but climbing back down is.


The Aztecs solved that problem.

LOL good one!

So, if building the pyramids was so difficult (and I admit it was!) that aliens had to help the ancient Egyptians and the slaves ... How come it was so easy for later Egyptians to climb the bloody things and take the dressed cover rocks and stone back DOWN the pyramid to use on other buildings?

Surely it’s simpler to cut rock and drag it exactly to where its needed rather than climb a steep pyramid and pull down huge stones - cut already, but not cut to the right shape for anything other than a “pyramid top”! - to another location and put them back into another wall.
