The real reason why they built the pyramids

originally posted by: CosmicSmack

fact is no one was their and we will never have 100% proof. i have said my piece agree or not that all i have to say on it good day all.

But the fact is electricity worked the same way then as it does now. Maybe you can tell us how a pile of limestone generated electricity.

They were public woks projects. After the harvest, there wasn't really much else for everyone to do, so having this construction project kept the community busy and money in circulation.

I think your spot on here... at that specific point in history, they were well feed from abundant crops and had a lot of spare time on their hands. They got bored and really had nothing better to do with with there time, than to see how high they could pile stones.

They built them because they could, I really don't see why it has to be more complicated than that

So what is it?

I still like the idea (I think from Ancient Aliens) that the Giza pyramids are hydrogen production plants. I have no clue what they would had used hydrogen for but it sounds cool

I find it more unbelievable that they would work, so hard, putting so much labor and energy just to build a tomb. Maker more sense for it to be a generator.

I was always under the impression that it was slaves who built the pyramids

When you're a slave you don't really have much choice when it comes to working hard and expending your energy on whatever your slave master wants you to do.

If master wants a glorified tomb, a tomb you shall build lest you be punished or even killed for not pulling your weight

Did anyone ever think that maybe they built them because they just thought they looked cool?

Hey. It works on us modern humans. We can grab a telescope and study the stars in detail but we'd rather think about a bunch of triangles in the desert.

Well yeah it's like they say, why look for extraterrestrial intelligent life when we yet have to find terrestrial intelligent life

A Tesla Coil has a high voltage AC supply. Where is the one for the pyramids?

There probably were plenty of slaves involved in the grunt labour, which was involved in the construction of the great pyramids... but there was also clearly a lot of work involved which could only be achieved by extremely skilled stone masons, who would have been highly regraded and extremely respected within the egyptian civilization and there for were obviously not slaves

True, grunt labor.
But there had to be some serious logistics and skilled populace to coordinate all the work teams and support staff.

Seems a bit above the heads of a bunch of simple farmers.

I've always thought, since I was old enough to get my head around the scale, that they didn't build them at all.

There has got to be some poor sap mushed between or under some blocks, somewhere in them piles.

What and why, I have yet to find a decent theory.

Well if you know how about you tell them?

It starts with a, e and ends with a x... Be nice to people you are just as delussional as they are

Don't forget the when

Did you look into the work of Carl Munck or Randall Carlson? Highly recommended, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't involve any aliens.

What are you talking about?

Can anyone here speak without being banally cryptic?

The reason is a foursided structure which actually shows a seasonal equionox for a neolithic society, where one side is always dark during one of the equinoxes, the egyptians practiced a socialistic structure of "taxation" on grain, the Egyptian pharaos were sungods, and if you look to certain elements of how they were built you will see that under certain dates it was actually religious/sacrifical nature during these 4 days and 3 during the winter -solstice.. A trickle down effect where the priest class distributed food through out the Nile area..
Its a huge seasonal calender, the obelisk is a small one, the point is actually a reference point to a fixated celestial body...

Its astronomy.. Now let the Freemason answer, he can probably give a story about something which doesnt even exist in real life.. The structure is built on a golden ratio or a fibbonacci sequence, its observable in nature, we just copied it...

To break it down, its seasonal dial in a agricultural society with humans..

I'll give it a try

We can ask the new guy. I always love when a new one wanders in with their woo.

Tomb.

And that to, to the Sungod.. You never understood the practical use of a pyramid did you?
You know which way an anthill always points at?

Your a mason, shouldnt you have knowledge that is way above mine?

Up.

Nah, your woo quotient is way above mine. You could probably look at a common kitchen utensil and invent some lively theory on how it is an alien artifact.

Oh, and it is 'you're' not 'your', so, yeah, maybe my knowledge is above yours.
