RE: Today I learned about a more logical Explanation for the Egyptian Pyramids
Manes more sense than ancient aliens, but I'm still not buying it. That's not how any of those things actually work. No indication of test models or anything scientific to demonstrate the theory is given.
You think it's a religious monument?
Religious monument and tombs. It's pretty well-understood that the pyramids were robbed shortly after construction despite the attempts to make them secure, and there has been considerable debate over how hard it really would have been to build them.
It's pretty well-understood
Your Logical Fallacy for the day is : Appeal to authority.
How do they KNOW that the (perhaps) tombs were robbed shortly after construction when they don't really know how long ago that was? Who's to say that they might have been "repurposed' (several times) since their original construction?
As a former truck driver let me be the first to inform you...moving 2.3 million stone blocks, weighing an average of 2.5 to 15 tons each...is NOT an easy job. Not even now with modern equipment and infrastructure. It was done obviously because the 'bones' are still there...but it wasn't easy.
The great pyramid at Ginza is perhaps the oldest known human construction( not drowned by the sea level rise) perhaps even older than Göbekli Tepe.
Regardless it's ten times older than the United States...who KNOWS what happened back then?
All I know is that the physics of pyramids as water pumps, at least from the description in the article, makes no sense based on my knowledge of geography, thermodynamics, and physics. If you encase something in stone, it stays cool. It doesn't heat up, and temperatures stay stable rather than fluctuating.
I have seen video evidence of tomb robber excavation presented by national geographic and the like. I have seen experimental archaeology videos where people test ideas of how sones could have been moved with far less effort than typically thought. I have seen amateurs test crazy theories, and they seem to work. Existing theories are open to dispute, but the preponderance of evidence seems to support them.

It is estimated that the workers would have had to set a block every two and a half minutes. ...for decades.
Yeah...right....hard to believe isn't it?
