Humans can build it.

This is more of an anti conspiracy post but I'll put it here anyway.

Here is a man named Wally Wallington demonstrating techniques for moving huge heavy stones using leverage.

I believe the pillars are made of modern concrete but they would still be quite heavy. If one man can do that what could a nation like Egypt do with all her resources and thousands of slaves. Of course they would need different techniques to move stones up a ramp but it could be done by humans no anti-grav lift technology needed just human ingenuity and engineering.

Oh and I wanted to mention that I moved a huge armoire that probably weighs about 200 lbs by my self using only a wooden dowel. I simply tilted up one side and rolled the dowel under it with my foot. Then went to the other side and rolled it along until the dowel was at the other side and repeated. I was able to turn it and move it about 30 feet without breaking a sweat. I can see the same technique being used on huge multi-ton slab of stone.

Go Humans!!

I do not share your opinion but am glad you made this post. I'm sure you are aware that this video does not answer all of the questions about how ancient structures were built. Also, grandpa did have some help from modern technology.

The main thing to bother me about the man's methods were his use of concrete slabs on the ground. He needed them to move the blocks the way he did and yet, such slabs were not found at stonehenge. If I'm incorrect then I'll go ahead and apologize.

Im sure on normal ground it would take a few men or some beasts of burden to do what he did but leverage is a powerful force when applied correctly. Also they could build a flat surface made of wooden planks. I can see more difficulties if they were working in sand but there are solutions. Whats more amazing about the pyramids is how tight the stones are that is some great craftsmanship for people using bronze tools to cut those stones (Im assuming they used bronze tools but I could be wrong).

The stones them selves could be moved from the quarry to the site using the same method I used to more the armoire. 2 or more logs and a team of people to push and pull. Just use a leaver to lift the leading edge and place the round log under it. Push and pull the slab along and place another log under the leading edge when the first log gets to the end you move it to the front and continue the cycle. I believe I read somewhere that Easter Island was deforested due to using these techniques to move the statues there.

Given that there are known and proven methods to move and erect these stones using simple wood tools and ropes its much more likely that these structures were simply the grand schemes of ambitious men and not the work of extraterrestrial beings but who can really know?
