Research suggests Egyptian pyramids were built with water

There are many theories on how the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built, including ramps, cranes and aliens. Now, archeologists are suggesting that the Egyptians harnessed the power of water to float the huge stone blocks hundreds of feet in the air.

So they come up with a new finding only to say that there is no evidence and we don't know how they did it. Really breathtaking work guys.

Americans would literally stack Le Bron James 30 times to measure this pyramid rather than use the metric system.

Imagine being so smart as an Engineer that your work is deemed aliencraft thousands of years in the future...

This was a horribly pointless piece. Way to go NBC, you outdid yourself.

Waste of 2 mins.
"-They likely used water pressure to build the pyramids!
-It's unlikely they used water to build the pyramids.
-How they built the pyramids remains a mystery!"

That guy looks like a villain in some Wild West movie.

Thank you for referencing the height in Lebron James units

Measuring pyramids using Labron James's is another symptom of Idiocracy.

Admit it. Our ancestors were smarter than us.

I love how American’s will literally measure things in basketball players and football pitches before attempting to try use the metric system

So the aliens built it with water .. I knew it.

[DRPosterBoy]

I think going with the aliens theory is more realistic

[gc]

For god sakes we all know it was the aliens that engineered it

Actually with beer. The Egyptian workers received free beer everyday.

All I ever hear is Europeans telling us the history on African 24/7. What do the people from the area say? We never hear from them

[miyagithedj]

The Egyptians never claimed to have built the pyramids nor the Sphinx. These were already present from the advanced civilization that existed prior to what our textbooks call "history".

It wasn’t until 1493 that Leonardo da Vinci invented friction. The stones would’ve slid across the desert much easier back then.

The Yale teacher with the yellow jacket, bowtie and his great-great-great grandmother's moustache... are we supposed to take him seriously?

[brockjennings]

I always thought it was built by an army of Bigfoots riding Unicorns.

Megalithic architecture around the world built thousands of years ago cannot be explained by Modern Man and all his computers, but it is clearly taught and explained throughout the Holy Bible.
