Believe it or not, no aliens were likely involved! Just some very smart humans and a massive amount of labor.

    He’s not saying they used magic.

    No, just a simple machine that no one has ever discovered since.

    Which is pretty close to magic.

      Unlikely, yes. More likely an implementation of principles in ways we just don’t have reference for in documentation, we just discovered that Roman concrete was mixed hot with quick lime. This shit always seems crazy until we figure it out.

      Although I don’t see anyone saying there were as low as 1,600 workers on the great pyramid. So you right to question that one.

      Actually I bet this is where that number came from lol:
