Great Pyramid of Giza

Free episodes:

The Egyptians (along with other ancient cultures) utilized stone as their primary construction material for literally thousands of years. It is not that much of a leap to assume that they would have had developed methods of manipulating these stones that have since been lost to antiquity. As we do not use carved stone as a primary construction material, we obviously would have difficulty comprehending how they did it. To put things in perspective, imagine transporting Ramses II to modern-day Manhattan. He would be equally amazed that we manage to make such magnificent structures out of glass.

Yes, and it was described by Pliny and a modern chemist who holds the modern patent on it wrote a book about how they did it. That does not mean they were not astronomical observatories or that Christopher Dunn is not also right. Just like today we use many technologies and tools.
