UFO / UAP

[Iwilldoit]

That's an old article, even referencing 2014 "sightings". And still, 11 years after that there is nothing more than some claims with no evidence.

I was using it as an example of new tec suddenly finding UAPs in reply to noseall --Keep up with the conversation or go back to sleep

Irrelevant, it means nothing.

 

[noseall]

some claims with no evidence.

Seems to be a theme I.e. lots of blather, yet zero credible footage. Astonishing really, in this day and age.

So we don't know exactly how they were moved? That doesn't mean aliens did it.

The biggest ones weren't, presumably because they CBA to roll them down the hill from the quarry. Lazy bloody Romans.

Well that is where you are wrong yet again - the giant blocks that are on the bottom were already there when the Romans turned up and they just built on top.

"Van Ess added that the blocks were probably cut in much the same way as the masonry used in the Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct in southern France, with each piece split from a larger expanse of limestone along natural fissures between the rock strata. Too heavy to lift, the blocks would then have been dragged from the quarry, probably using a capstan, a kind of human-driven winch—though the possibility of a sledge is also under discussion."

The Myth of the Megalith

Archaeologists in Baalbek, Lebanon, recently discovered a three-million-pound foundation stone. On whose orders was it cut, and why was it abandoned?

It is a complete mystery. Nobody can say how these huge blocks were actually moved, let alone hoisted up, like in the Kings chamber in the great pyramid....

No, it really isn't.

No, it really isn't.

And yet you tell these morons an unlikely UFO story and they believe every word.

But i am on about the lifting of the 80 ton blocks out of the quarry, transporting them hundreds of miles and then lifting them 200ft up a pyramid in progress to use in the kings chamber...

But i am on about the lifting of the 80 ton blocks out of the quarry,

So what?

"Primarily local limestone from the Giza Plateau was used for its construction. Other blocks were imported by boat on the Nile: white limestone from Tura for the casing, and blocks of granite from Aswan, weighing up to 80 tonnes, for the "King's Chamber" structure.[8]"

They didn't have all the woke health and safety nonsense back then!

So, how did they lift them up 200ft to where the kings chamber was being built?

Manpower and graft. But even if the answer is, "nobody knows", it still doesn't get you to aliens.

But, its true, nobody does know!

No way that 80 ton blocks can be lifted up the sides of the pyramid, 200ft, to the level where the kings chamber was being built!!! It would take a lot more than just bog standard manpower and graft!
