And it has lasted thousands of years and still being studied... How is that a waste of time?

Do you know Rameses III haplotype was E1B1A which only Sub Saharan Africans have, especially West Africans and the Blacks in places like America, Jamaica, Brazil etc. Do you also know one of the Pharaohs, I think it was Tut, suffered from sickle cell amaemia. Tell me which race suffers from sickle cell Anaemia.

Are there evidences pointing to that effect?

Me I kinda feel they were a breed of giants or something.

Characters in the form of Jonathan Swift's famed Gulliver.

Men my size cannot easily chisel their way through that thing with crude smooth rocks while maintaining so much precision .
If you read about the ancient monolithic works of saqqarah and others, there were evidence of rotary cutting tools that look like power equipment worked stones

The Arabs in Egypt are not real owners of Egypt, they dominated Egypt during the Uthman era when he conquered almost half of the world.

Nilotic are the real indigenous people of Egypt, very tall and dark.

If they found the skeleton of a dinosaur beside the obelisk, they would have said it was 300 million years old.

The Israeli were the workers and builder's.

All this act were the 400 years of slavery in Egypt. Imagine 400 years. Alot must have been done. That why it was hard for Egyptian to allow them go. Like who will build and do the works for them if not Israeli.

sickle cell amaemia isn't peculiar to a certain race and d discovery was only made in d 19th century.... Malaria killed Tut and that's understandable because of d nile... What I'm driving at is that they were diverse race in Egypt back then they had a kingdom in Sudan... Also Ethiopia was a big empire back then and they might have intermarried hence their diversity

That’s probably how they built the pyramids too. But you see people killing themselves to figure out how it was done.

I am sure ancient Egyptians will have a great laugh at our theories

Sorry I should have what race is most affected. Even in the West, African Americans carry the sickle cell trait the most. Egypt became diverse later on because of all the numerous attacks it encountered, but before then, Egypt was known as Khemet/ Mitsraiym. Egypt is a diverse country, but Kemet was not.

They had millions of slaves at their disposal to do their bidding. Let's not forget they were also the world power of their time and they had no Geneva convention to contend with cheesy

I reckon this is about the same period the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians
Millions of slaves 5,000 years ago? Lol you’re a joker. How much was the world population then. Millions of slaves working under how many slave masters? You didn’t think your comment through.

How could they have done that with chisel? There's not even enough space by the sideways to work from. And that's granite, the hardest rock to work on!!

The stone was cut with hightech machines that specialized on stone cutting.

That rock was cut from on top (same place tourists standing) because their machines could cut in 3D from any angle. It's hard to imagine today because we're actually the primitive ones but to the ancient Egyptians, cutting stone was like a knife cutting through butter. The harder the stone, the better.

If you're not satisfied with the above as evidence of high technology: how about lifting the stone? That stone is about 5 storeys building tall. How could they have lifted it after cutting?

The answer is levitation. Because that's the only way to successfully lift it at that position without breaking it.

Throw away whatever white people have conjured over the years and look at things from your own critical mind. The ancient Egyptians had hightech machines developed by a different type of science that incorporated science and spirituality, so their machines would be different.

If you want to have an idea of technology in ancient Egypt 4,000 thousand years ago, watch the documentary: the revelation of the pyramid. This was done by a serious researcher (white person) who was tired of the official lies and went all the way to discover the truth. There are many others like that.

The revelation of the pyramid

Wasted resources building giant structures

with this your preposition, it would be logical to agree that most modern structures are bound to be obsolete is thousands years to come, hence, we should view such endeavours as wasted resources and to some extend effort..

The Unfinished Obelisk

Aswan in Egypt is known for its granite.

The pyramids and numerous temples in Aswan (like Abu Simbel Temple, Kom Ombo Temple) and other parts of the country were built by the granite supplied from Aswan.

The Unfinished Obelisk lying in the rock mountain of red granite offers insight into the procurement of these rocks and a very brief idea of their construction method.

The Obelisk as it lies today is a 42meters long monolith whose three sides can be seen.

The structure is without any inscriptions and weighs around 1,200tons.

It is the single heaviest obelisk in Egypt.

May be it was dumped after Egypt ran out of Slave Labour because of Moses and the Exodus after God Almighty delivered his Children from Slavery and bondage

It's amazing how the ancient Egyptians were able to do that much without the use of power tools and equipment.

How do you fashion that monstrosity out of a rock - and how do you move them?

The one in Washington - how was it moved there?


The amazement you are seeking for is nothing more than the labouring power of hundreds of thousands of poor souls who were enslaved by the Egyptians. Until the Advent of power tools and mega machines, human and animal power was the only realistic form of engine available for major projects like this ones...sadly!

They didn't carry anything, they were carving out the pillar from a huge rock but abandoned it because of a crack that appeared on the structure.

Yet to be carved out completely from the mother rock.

If it was today, engineers would have set up some scaffolds - our dear obelisk would be cast-in-sutu.
