Ahem..From OP. and what is your suggestion as you don't believe in the copper saw theory ?
In this post I will present evidence of Lost Ancient High Technology on the Giza Plateau which shows beyond all REASONABLE doubt that Machine tools were used in the construction of this Basalt Floor.
machine tools
Machines would include anything water, beast, or human powered. That would include saws or other tools.

Well, there is nothing else, there are no iron saws or diamond saws, though they did mention Hard stone encrusted saw, but as there are no evidence of any of it, that leaves us with "power tools" of some form, or maybe sound waves, because...how else ?
I have an open mind to, but I'll take the copper saw before anything "out of the ordinary", even without evidence.
I did see a doc that showed a ditch which had stone walls on either side. It was speculated that they may have fashioned large (maybe even copper) discs to use as a large circular stone saw. If they filled the ditch with water and used a cutting powder equal to the hardness of the basalt it would make that process more efficient. But, there was no copper or cutting agent found in the ditch.

Are you saying that the ancient civilizations didn't use slave labor? Cause, all of them pretty much did.
And I was just saying in general. Even with stuff like the Pyramids, yes, we could indeed have built them just fine, over 20 years using the existing tech, it wasn't that hard once we actually figured out the science.
And the only reason they stopped making pyramids is because they moved on to more complex structures like Temples.

Def a saw. Prob not copper. Quartz dust would be the most likely cutting agent.

The only thing completely obvious in this mystery is that archeaology
has fudged an explanation that doesn't stand up. And that is tantamount
to it's credibility IMO.
You say the only reason they stopped was to move on to more complexity? That sounds extremely speculative on your part, I have never read anything that makes that claim as the reason they stopped building. If you have any resources I can look at for that, I would be very appreciative of it.
I think that is a great idea. I would be willing to bet that someone trained in that field has already done all of the work for us and probably published as well. Surely some geologist has taken the time to sample the surrounding area to test for copper shavings. That would be enough evidence for me. They can test the copper and find the mine it originated from. Iron shavings would be easy enough to find. Although basalt is also dense with iron. So it would be something you would expect to find in the basalt dust.

Very interesting point....
Why haven't they done this?
Yes. There are plenty of reasons to suppress the truth. All of them nefarious.

It's quite interesting to me, that people know an answer is wrong and they stick with it.. It's interesting what would motivate someone interested in science to act in such a way.
Doesn't that interest you as well.

Nah there's plenty of evidence, even on ATS regarding that. There's a clear progression of pyramid building as well, starting out very shoddy and culminating in the the very large ones we see.
I can't find the thread right now, but IMO, and until I see real evidence otherwise, nobody but man built those marvels of architecture.
