    Just had a weird thought about all the work that goes into cutting, moving and laying each and every stone of the pyramids. It’s already so much work for the whole thing that it doesn’t even compute. But it’s also a ton of work just for one stone before scaling it up to the whole thing. After all that work, they laid the very first one and then had to consider how many more were to be laid after that. Some guy definitely wanted to die right there.

    I get the meme, but they were using the most advanced technology at the time. When we build cutting edge structures that will one day be seen as being built with “simple tools” we don’t think of it that way at the time. We see it as building the wonders of our time!

    These structures were incredible!
