This guy figured out how coral Castle in Florida was built and is likely very similar to how the pryamids were built and it's actually pretty primitive but kinda clever and complicated. Requires alot of knowledge of wiring and electric currents. Check it out. Something about the magnetic flywheel as a key component. And it was all built with scrap from a junkyard. Thought it was pretty interesting

Very interesting.
Would he really have needed all that fancy equipment, though?
I think it is possible that the technology used to build the pyramids and coral castle was even more primitive than this.
For example, look how easily this one man moves this 20,000lb concrete block without any of that fancy stuff:

The pyramids were built by hoards of professional stone masons. There's no question about this. Limestone, granite, etc. are easy to split with feathers and wedges. It's still done today.

The quarrying is the easiest part, its overcoming the effects of gravity and moving massive blocks into place that is generally consider to be the mystery here.
As seen in the video I posted above, though, I think there are numerous primitive techniques that could've been used to move these blocks into place.

Boats. The quarries were up stream.

I have been there when I lived in florida, never knew or thought of any of this. Pretty cool.
@cris Do u really think you solved one of the most debated ancient mysteries of the world with that ridiculously simple explanation that completely disregards 90% of the crucial points of the debate?

Again, I think that is still the easy part. Moving around big heavy stones or putting them on boats and floating them isn't exactly rocket science.
I don't think getting the stones to the build site is what most people consider to be the mystery here.
I think most people are mystified by the lifting of the heavy stones into place. Whether its the putting the blocks at the top of the pyramids, stonehenge, or coral castles, its the lifting part that gets most people.
But yeah, considering how easily this one man can move a 10 ton block of concrete all by himself in the backyard of his Michigan home, I don't really think there is much of a mystery here.

I think the ancients were probably just a little more clever (and hardworking) than we like to give them credit for.

It is definitely a big part of the mystery and boats just do nottttt explain it away

Did you watch that video I posted?
They could've moved them with boats, they probably could've even just moved them hundreds of miles over dry land.
See how easily that guy can move 20,000 lb blocks of concrete with nothing but sticks, rocks, and gravity?
Now realize that the ancient Egyptians were probably even more clever than that guy and even better with primitive building techniques. And now imagine thousands of slaves doing all the work.
No alien technology or fancy stuff required.

Being "mystified" is just a nice way of saying that people don't have an understanding of simple tools.

Tbh i wasnt even satisfied with that video explaining stonehenge, let alone the pyramids which was a completely different project in a completely different area of the world in a likely different timeframe. Maybe they go into some pyramid stuff in the video, i did not watch the whole thing but i got the gist of it. Lmk any points in the video i should specifically see that i maybe missed

If you didn't watch the whole video, and you are still confused about how they built, the pyramids, or coral castles, you didn't get the gist of it.
It pretty damn well explains all of them. At the very least, it shows one technique that could've easily been scaled up and used to build any of the structures in question.
Is it definitely the technique they used? Maybe not, who knows? But it does illustrate at least one way it could've been done.
Explaining that they did it with extremely primitive technology doesn't make for a very good episode of Ancient Aliens, though...hence the "mystery"

Maybe it is, maybe not, who knows? Im not convinced and i certainly do not at all think it "pretty damn well explains it". This is farrrrr from the first feasible technique using 'primitive' engineering that has 'explained' the pyramids being built and I didnt fully buy any of those either. They all just got flaws, and the people presenting them obviously have hella incentive to downplay those flaws, ignore whether or not any of this techonology was used at all or in ever a remotely similar capacity in the culture, or any culture, of the time period or similar time period, etc. etc. and typically provide no evidence for anything of this existing, being discussed in ancient texts, being referred to, being discovered anywhere, nothing. Almost always a 'look what i figured out how to do'.
Videos like that are a layman's dream, and a historians nightmare.
If you honestly think there deserves to be quotation marks around the 'mystery' of the pyramids, then I dont really even wanna go much further into this lol

Ah yes, if you have a fairly dependable source of electrical power and the metallurgy required for the electromagnetic components. Of which of course there is 0 evidence that the ancient Egyptians had, or even something resembling them remotely.
I think I'm going to stick with the hypothesis of ramps and blocks being put on rollers allowing them to be pushed onto the ramps and into place.
