A diamond is not cheaper than copper in any way shape or form.

diamonds are more common than copper and infinitely less useful

their price is kept artificially inflated by the De Beers company and a few others. they keep barges full of diamonds and flood the market any time a competitor steps up, so nobody can get in the game and they can set the price back wherever they want it.

copper is one of the most useful metals we've ever mastered and it's harder to extract from the earth than diamonds, and harder to refine.

so.

there ya go.

So you have a book on the prices in ancient egypt? I can post some scrolls that say gems were more precious then metals during that time.

Also take in the fact there are no diamonds discovered from that era or nothing that depicts a diamond in anything makes it even more fascinating as to how they used them to cut stone and then magically disolve them.

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

we have no archaeological evidence as to how they built them built them

wtf are you talmbout?

we got all kinds of evidence as to how it was done.

this "we dont know how they did it" meme is promoted by television and books to keep the money coming in from rubes who don't want to read boring real information.

you know how they built the pyramids? it ain't that complex. all you need is a few guys who know some math, a bunch of rock to quarry, and a few thousand expendable laborers.

you cut the rocks, you move them with slave labor, you pay artisans to arrange them properly, levers, ropes, pulleys, sand displacement techniques, etc. etc.

I can post some scrolls

we dont believe you

you need more scrolls

At the time pyramids were constructed they pulley wasnt invented yet. And no we have no proof, alot of theories. Those with pulleys and sand displacement have been proven not to work. And for slaves to quarry the rocks, pull them sometimes 100 miles, cut them there, then use another shitload of slaves to pull the large rocks would be nothing short of miraculous.

The only thing we have stating how they did it is an old text saying they used a white lotion like liquid on them and that would make they float 6 feet at a time. Thats acual writing from the people alive at the time, now go find what does that and get back to me. Go find your Bullshit theories being done now and get back to me. Go figure out a way to pull a rock 100 miles in the fuckin desert with malnurished people and get back to me.

expendable slaves are miraculous now?

and some kind of lubricant is an other-worldly phenomenon that can't be explained?

It's easy.

Make them pull until they die.

Then replace them.

Rinse and repeat.

The ancient world sucked.

Right because they have infinite slaves my bad I forgot.

How do you explain pyramids being constructed before math was made meaning no measurements were available, what about pyramids being built by civilizations who did induldge in slavery and had a small amount of people? Did they work their thousand residents to the point of extinction in 2 years, then finish the pyramids 18 years later through the use of spirits? What about stones only cuttable by diamond in areas where diamonds have never been, did they ride elephants across the ocean to obtain them? Ecspecially during a time when the sea was forbidden because they believed it was the edge of the earth and didnt want to fall off it?

And Lubricant makes 20 ton stones float in mid air?????????? Since when

they weren't.

math is older than all monolithic architecture.

its a prereq.

what about pyramids being built by civilizations who did induldge in slavery and had a small amount of people?

i will assume you meant "did not" and I would like to see an example of a civ that built pyramids without slaves.

areas where diamonds have never been,

1. you dont need diamonds to cut the stones the giza pyramids are made of

2. diamonds are everywhere. seriously.

And Lubricant makes 20 ton stones float in mid air?????????? Since when

Since when do you automatically believe that what ancient superstitious people wrote is the truth?

Do you think a guy with the head of a hawk actually existed too?

this is where u fucked up!

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

this is where u fucked up!

My Mind's Eye is sensing you know the truth,but would rather decieve the masses with your TRIClogic knowledge

 

[perspective@100]

Damn, you all did not watch the vids... SMH at you all for thinking people and ropes can move millions of stones weighing in at a few tons each or that any amount of slaves could cut then place with finely cut groves in the hardest rocks 1000ton stones, really its just rediculous to even think about. What was the blueprint? They had no written language in some places.

 

[The True Flesh]

Style over substance.

History Channel leaves a lot of unanswered questions with each program, because they don't have all the answers and to create setups for future programs.

PEACE

millions of stones

there aren't that many stones in the pyramids, dummy

 

[independentsoundlab]

their was no proof that slaves were used..

only theories that people had to work on the pyramids like regular mandatory shifts..

 

[perspective@100]

Soooooo, there are not millions of stones in the pyramids? Your name calling is absurd, but I have heard what kind of poster you are so whatever. FYI when I speak of stones I mean stones all over the world that would supposedly be impossible to move in those ancient times. So yes millions of stones. Stop causing havoc in my thread. Your facts are nonsense. You just respond to get a rise out of people, and I know this because I too know how to be an asshole...
