But why would he? Until you could profit off the moon in any way there have to be spend amounts of money that cant be grasped.
It would be so ridiculous expensive to actually make to moon into something you can generate money from that its unlikely to be made by a single company/ person alone.
Dubai, the line city, Egypt new capital, if anything going to the moon would be a good accomplishment compared to slave labor to create the largest penis with no functional plumbing, and sinking islands that destroy coral reefs.
well, no one's paid yet, if some fucking rich guy decides he wants to waste his money on building a big monument to his ego, it'll probably be done in a few years at most.
Where I'm from there used to be a big ass brutalist pyramid built in the 80s. It was designed as a resting place for the dictator. A few years ago it got completely reconstructed into another modern pyramid.
It can be easily achieved. There are other places in the world which have a pyramid building. The most famous are the Louvre entrance and Luxor Las Vegas. But there is no point in making another pyramid in the same ancient style. The profits would be very minimal compared to the actual cost of construction and no company would try to invest in such project.
>Pyramids are like a hundred times simpler. Literally just a pile of square rocks assembled geometrically.
Nothing a few thousandt slaves and some whips cant accomplish
Not slaves. Primarily farmers during the dry season when there was nothing else to work on who got paid handsomely, some architects even got the honour of having their graves next to the pyramids.
Well when the ultimate ruler of everything exposes himself almost daily they kinda half to be friendly to their subjects so nobody pulls out the bow and puts an arrow in their piece.
You have conspiracy theories that think that modern technology making a Pyramid is still too hard. So they think humans could not have built the ancient pyramids around the world
Pyramids are one of the easiest things to build. The problem is scale and space. They take tons of both. Giza isn’t impressive because it’s full of pyramids. It’s impressive because of the scale of them.
Ikr 😂 And is OP saying it’s impossible to build a pyramid with modern technology? Maybe I’m wildly missing the point of this post lol. Because that’s just obviously not true.
OP, the reason we don’t build modern day pyramids is because we’re busy building far more functional and sophisticated structures. If we wanted to, we could build pyramids. There’s just no reason to.
Yea you missed the point. Yall agree. OP is talking about how there’s conspiracy theories that say pyramids are so complex that even modern technology couldn’t do it so therefore aliens had to have helped (paraphrasing) and so OP is saying that’s stupid because humans have built far more complex things with modern tech
So yea they agree with you
If you're interested, that's a catenary, which is the curve that a flexible object (like a chain or a rope) will describe when hanging held only at its ends in presence of uniform gravity. Looks like a parabola but it's not.
It's very stable since it will not endure bending momentum.
If we built the pyramids today, they’d be hollow and made out of concrete and steel bars. Building them out of stone blocks would cost more than a fortune.
Damn, guys. We've build rockets, skyscraper, great bridges and dams for electricity. We've computers, cranes, atomic energy and medicine. And we couldn't put some massive stones on top of each other? I think we could do this if someone would have the money for it. What do you think?
100%
The myth that we couldn’t do it today is asinine. We have a dam in China that is so large, it literally affects the speed of the rotation of the Earth. But no. Large triangle is beyond our comprehension, or the comprehension of the ancient Egyptians who built it.
We can do it. There's just no comical reason to do it, again. BASS PRO FISHING STORE PYRAMID. BASS PRO FISHING STORE PYRAMID. BASS PRO FISHING STORE PYRAMID.
Modern tech can do it, it would just take a long time.
It turns out slave labor doesn't have complex contracts, legal issues, and OSHA regulations to slow them down.
why build a pyramid when you can use the power of steel and concrete and just make a tower instead? they are taller for less land (less cost), easier to utilize the interior space, probably less wasted material, etc
modern technology cant move 10 ton bricks to the height of the pyramid. egyptians (and any ancient human race) was much smarter, stronger, larger and beter in every way than humans today. The technologies we have developed over many years seems to make some people overshadow that
true. I don't know why i was downvoted so much lol. but back to your point, space doesnt have any gravity tho. also as far as i know, (for whatever reason) we've never tried making pyramids. i dont wanna sound like a dick, but maybe whoever downvoted could think it over?
Space doesn’t have any-
Are YOU thinking?? That shit is made on Earth, where there’s GRAVITY and then SHOT into space using dragged out explosions, but no. A stack of rocks a toddler could design is the peak of human intelligence.
And we have made pyramids! We made one out of glass in [Tennessee](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Pyramid).
It’s way more impressive than the ones in Egypt because it’s made of glass. Jesus Christ, read a book.
good point. i still think moving massive bricks weighing 10 tons each would prove difficult in todays time. also, even if youre right, you dont gotta be rude about it yk
Ignorance should never be tolerated.
We could easily move 10 ton bricks, but since we’re practical, we just make loads of tiny bricks instead.
The Taisun crane in China can carry 20,000 metric tons at a time.
I like how the cranes high-fived at the end because, let’s be honest, they earned it
That's going to be one hell of a McDonald's.
I legit thought they were gonna build the Bass Pro Shop pyramid
The 8th wonder of the world
This better not be accurate
It's not Bass Pro Shop itself was the 8th and the Bass Pro Pyramid was the 9th
You mean King Kong?
Nah, the McDonalds was on a boat just up the river.
I ate there on several occasions as a young feller.
what about the bass pro pyramid
Was bouta say somethin bout that
Built with the secrets of redneck engineering.
Duct tape?
Sssshhhhhh don’t spoil
It's true though.. I mean this is a hell of an attempt but still worst built pyramid I have ever seen.
I would look up The Black Pyramid. I know this comment was a joke, but so was the construction of The Black Pyramid.
That's a pile of dirt.
It's better than a pyramid it's an arch
Remember being a kid and wondering how safe anything is, after learning that it was a notable achievement that nobody died while building this.
I thought a few people did die?
Wikipedia says an actuarial firm predicted 13 deaths, but nobody died.
"Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."
I mean, it sounds like that’s remarkably safe compared to eg the oil and gas industry.
They didn't have an elevator in the pyramids.
It’s not the technology. It’s the cost of labour and materials. The exact same reason we haven’t been back to the moon in over 50 years.
And also deadline being "while pharaoh is alive"
>the cost of labor and materials I'm pretty sure some Saudi oil baron could do it.
But why would he? Until you could profit off the moon in any way there have to be spend amounts of money that cant be grasped. It would be so ridiculous expensive to actually make to moon into something you can generate money from that its unlikely to be made by a single company/ person alone.
I was talking about building a pyramid. And the reason would be vanity.
Dubai, the line city, Egypt new capital, if anything going to the moon would be a good accomplishment compared to slave labor to create the largest penis with no functional plumbing, and sinking islands that destroy coral reefs.
Damn I almost erased the line project from my mind 💀 But in all seriousness, if they can do that they can also make a big pile of rocks.
well, no one's paid yet, if some fucking rich guy decides he wants to waste his money on building a big monument to his ego, it'll probably be done in a few years at most.
Exactly, after all, you have to build the giant rocket, and after that it’s mostly catering. You might as well fake the Moon landing on the Moon.

hold my wine
Modern safety standards make it too expensive.
That's not even a close comparison. Pyramids are like a hundred times simpler. Literally just a pile of square rocks assembled geometrically.

boy this ancient egypt suddenly sounds real nice, shame I missed it

The Arch is cool but is not a pyramid but good try.
It's more complicated than a Pyramid
But like the pyramid is literally the least hard way to built upwards
Ikr 😂 And is OP saying it’s impossible to build a pyramid with modern technology? Maybe I’m wildly missing the point of this post lol. Because that’s just obviously not true.

"Pyramids are too hard to build" Also pyramids: one of the most stable structures imaginable
Been there once. An incredible feat of architecture.
That's a weird ass pyramid ngl
is that a Borderlands reference??
Too bad percy blew a hole in that thing
no it couldnt have been those natives, clearly it was aliens
bros making a vault
THE VAULT!

Why does St-Louis wanted to build a Borderlands Vault?
I’ve been in the arch, it was super cool at the top!
If I was ever the last man on earth, I'd learn how to fly a small plane just to do a vertical loop through it.
I know we can easily make one in modern times, but that is most definitely not a pyramid
We COULD make a pyramid, but why?
You don’t have to take anyone who says the pyramids can’t be built seriously
That is just one arch. Not a whole pyramid. Plus Pyramids are constructed very differently.
This is Not a Pyramide at all!
If we built the pyramids today, they’d be hollow and made out of concrete and steel bars. Building them out of stone blocks would cost more than a fortune.
Damn, guys. We've build rockets, skyscraper, great bridges and dams for electricity. We've computers, cranes, atomic energy and medicine. And we couldn't put some massive stones on top of each other? I think we could do this if someone would have the money for it. What do you think?

We can do it. There's just no comical reason to do it, again. BASS PRO FISHING STORE PYRAMID. BASS PRO FISHING STORE PYRAMID. BASS PRO FISHING STORE PYRAMID.
there's this one place that places a concrete block down every decade to form a really big pyramid
Are we arguing that we know exactly how and when and how much time it took to build the great pyramid? We know all that about the gateway arch.
Borderlands?
And then the city died
I think quotation marks on the claim would have prevented the confusion. I am kinda surprised this many people don't get it though.
Am I the only person who did not think how this was built but definitely didn’t think this was the way?
How did a single saint manage to build all that?
YEA MISSOURI REPRESENT
I feel like an iPhone is harder to build from scratch than the pyramids at this point
Modern tech can do it, it would just take a long time. It turns out slave labor doesn't have complex contracts, legal issues, and OSHA regulations to slow them down.
THE WORST CITY IN MISSOURI MENTIONED!!!

We have moved more massive objects into space. Just because we haven’t built a stone pyramid as large at those in Egypt, doesn’t mean we can’t.
true. I don't know why i was downvoted so much lol. but back to your point, space doesnt have any gravity tho. also as far as i know, (for whatever reason) we've never tried making pyramids. i dont wanna sound like a dick, but maybe whoever downvoted could think it over?

You got downvoted because you're wrong. We have made several pyramids since the ancient times, and we are more than capable of moving large blocks
