I don't understand how anyone can look at these findings and think some dumb desert dwelling nomads and slaves did work on stone like this.
Especially the drill holes and the sarcophagus made from one piece.
Can we move on past the official narrative yet?

Just remeber when we found the workers village we got a chance to see what they did. Everyone had speaclized jobs. Even have some of the team names as they competed with each other. I see your point about slavery but it wasn't that way. People would leave their homes to work it was a job. They needed carpenters and blacksmiths, cooks, architects, barge operators, management personel, fisherman, stone masons general laborers and yes I can keep going.
Realize this was a works project ot meant income to egyptian families many of whom probably wouldn't have survived without the income. As far as when people work together amazing things can be done look at hiatory. We have gothic cathedrals roman archetecture. The tomans took working with stone to new levels. They were able to carve true works of art in marble completely by hand. We look at it and marvel but to a stone mason it was his career. He learned from the previous etc and so forth.
The problem people have when they say things like copper tools can't cut stone is malibility. Bit of course that helps when dealing with sand. A new blade I guarantee wasn't food for cutting you need the sand to get embedded into the copper, meaning the more you used it the better it worked up to the point it was to warn to continue. Then you return it to the blacksmith he gives you a new one and reforges the old one. Everyone had a role to play today we look at it and think of the time and well frankly are unwillingness to invest the time needed. Think it took Leonardo 4 years to paint the sistine chappel to is that insane to him it was his lifes work.

I suggest you rethink your argument; The idea that the Great Pyramid was built by slaves is laughable.
Haven't you heard? Everyone was a slave in olden times (but not today).
No, "everyone" was not a slave, by any stretch. But in ancient Egypt, yes, they had slaves. The lower class were not treated very well and it was a hard life. They didn't live very long on average.
Mock me all you like, but I was not mocking you. I asked you a valid question. I was expecting an adult reaction, but I see that was a fruitless hope.

The ancients simply didnt have the capability to cut with diamonds. There is no historical evidence of diamond made cutting tools used by the ancients that I am aware of.
There is no historical evidence of ET building pyramids either, but I'm sure that wouldn't stop you from believing it.
breaking and fracturing is different from cutting no?

I would like to add that the video ppinted out some small objects that were CUT with precision. Some of these objects werr made from mountain crystal. Mountain crystal can only be cut with diamond.

Cutting crystal is easier then stone cause it to fracture then polish. Mankind learned how to work crystal before most stone. Obsidian for example has been found to be used by stone age man. You can wear down anything with patients and sanding. Jewlers cut diamond with a steel chisel and hammer and lots of time. Turning a crystal into pouder is easy trick is being very careful where you do it.

I can only wonder what governments know about our past and why they have chosen to ignore all the evidence that shows our past is NOT what is stated in history books.
The narrative is that gained knowledge on an incremental scale and evolved from people who were literally 'retarded' by today's standards, and somehow we are at the apex of engineering and architectural technology. I believe fully that we had a period, if not more than one, where certain civilizations had a better understanding and we have DEVOLVED.

I'm not mocking you. Musing about peoples beliefs. Slaves are everywhere, soldiers are slaves, addicts are slaves, the bottom of the rung poor are slaves, rich people are slaves to their money. They hire illegal immigrants and make slaves of them today, too.
Sex slaves, slaves to religion, politics, TV, sports, gaming, guns, pride, anger, nationalism… takes all kinds of slaves to run a world. Everybody is a slave to something.

I think those pyramids are machines that created the planet. Instead of traveling thru space, we can create new planet. Put it in the "life zone" proximity of sun, move the old planet out(asteroid belt).

I think this is the general problem with the study of ancient cultures (lack of engineers and other specialized experts involved with theorizing what happened) . I have seen this evidence before and believe many to be machine tool marks. That said, it doesn't mean they were electric powered or alien technology, just machines (spinning abrasive discs, saws etc.).
The Machu Pichu stonework however is of another kind in my opinion. Not machined. Something lost to modern man.
If people looked at our tools after a thousand years, they would think we didn't have steel tools since it would all be rusted away.
But the small diamonds embedded in the steel that did the actual cutting, where are they? Rusted away? Lolz
Do you people even realize how hard granite is? Do you guys realize what it takes to cut a 20X7 foot chunk of granite with that precision?
I think the video make a very strong case and has yet to be even remotely countered adequately.

With so much labor toiling away in the heat, you'd think there would be thousands of skeletons in a big pit. Ironically, a pit that was dug by the slave laborers for their own demise, once it became apparent that these projects would kill a lot of men..and women?
