Now much smaller scale but it does show how it could be done - just a lot longer and lot more work

Interesting of course, but take a look at the top edge of the piece from Elephantine island. Very very straight .
In the video , a ‘square’ was used - a right angle set square to ensure an accurate corner; sure, it looked like a basic plastic set square and not a calibrated engineering square, but close enough for the majority of what you’d need it for.
Are we suggesting that the AE had access to such tooling?
Did they have very accurate squares and straight edge tooling to check their work against?
Tool development always seems out of the question for the so called ‘mainstream’, always content to believe those guys in loin cloths sat around in the dust for thousands of years repeating the same difficult processes , and yet , even though they had the vision to build pyramids and symmetrical statues and other wonders , it was all done in The same way for the literally thousands of years they existed as a culture?

I think you’re wasting your time if you think you can get Harte Hans and the rest to change their minds on how it was done. I’ve been there done that.
Some points that seem to go right over their heads.
Over cuts, there are examples of where tools have gone well beyond what was needed. No basic techniques would do that, whatever was making those cuts was doing it at speed we associate with machines. The marks in some bore holes in granite suggest the tool was rotating at very high revolutions per minute.
The black granite sarcophagus at the serepeum weigh a hell of a lot yet they are positioned in relatively tight spaces underground, speaking of weight not just the AE but other ancient civilisations weren’t shy about working huge stones and fitting them together precisely. There are even commonalities in technique such a polygonal joints, making them earthquake proof, metal clamps/links used for the joints in some cases.
Despite that many of these stones are strewn about and severely damaged like they suffered in some catastrophe
The shear amount of massive very hard stones such as granite that they worked, if it was just the odd example I would shrug it off, but no, there’s loads. there are even large quartz bowls just laying in the sand at a lesser known site in Egypt. Why would they go to the trouble to work, lift and shift all this stone, that we would struggle with our modern machinery today? Let alone with primitive hand tools.
I know some will claim they had all the time in the world, pulleys, ropes levers etc.. and shear man power. The pictures of 100’s ancients dragging stones with ropes and rollers make me laugh,have they not even considered they would use oxen for such work? It just shows they really haven’t thought about it at all. It’s what happens when you become to much of a specialist in one department I suppose. You are completely ignorant about others.
Tomb paintings from around 3000 B.C. show donkeys carrying big packs, while cattle pull sledges and wagons. A tomb painting from Thebes shows a funeral cortege drawn by cattle.
The year of reign 22 under the majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, the son of Re (Ahmose) |, to whom life was given: The opening of quarries anew, to take out perfect limestone from Tura for his houses of the [millions Years in the] house of Ptah, house of Atum, church of Amun in Kar [nak and (for)] every monument that His Majesty erects for him.

Following a statue of 13 cubits of stone of Hatnub. Behold, the way upon which it came, was very difficult, beyond anything. Behold, the dragging of the great things upon it was difficult for the heart of the people, because of the difficult stone of the ground, being hard stone.
I caused the youth, the young men of the recruits to come, in order to make for it (the statue) a road, together with shifts of necropolis-miners and of quarrymen, the foremen and the wise. The people of strength said: "We come to bring it;" while my heart was glad; the city was gathered together rejoicing; very good it was to see beyond everything. The old man among them, he leaned upon the child; the strong-armed together with the tremblers, their courage rose. Their arms grew strong; one of them put forth the strength of 1000 men.
Behold, this statue, being a squared block on coming forth from the great mountain, was more valuable than anything.

This is from your source, so if one of them had the strength of 1000 men that explains how they moved the stones, now all that’s left to figure out is how they cut them. /s
All this proves is that the dynastic AE were prone to exaggeration at least or out right fabrication at most. I don’t think they built any of the technical stuff, more like they found it and claimed it as there own.

It proves you can't admit that the mainstream is not only not ignorant
Pretty ignorant having wood samples from the great pyramid of Osiris and ingoing. Carbon dated that really mess up your dating sequence .

your fakehistory narrative is dying.
The "pyramid of Osiris" comes from a video game. But did that wood have anything to do with the construction of a pyramid?
Seems you don't even know what you're talking about. No data are being ignored and the recent wood samples clearly uphold the mainstream view.
The Dixon relics are three ancient artefacts discovered by Wayman Dixon in 1872 when he opened the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber. The consisted of a stone ball, a hook and a small piece of cedar wood. The cedar was placed in a small cigar box and eventually ended up in the archives of Aberdeen University whereupon it became lost for over 100 years.
It has now been found and the wood has been radiocarbon dated to ca. 3341-3094 BCE - some 500-800 years before the time of Khufu, the supposed builder of the monument.

As above
So below
The three pyramids correspond with the three belt stars of Orion. (Osiris) Of further note if you can take a trajectory from the three pyramids and line up ISIS (Sirius) Its now a sacred Muslim sight and they have a temple there.
The simple fact evidenlty ignored by AE is the astroarchaeology significance of these temples and many others globaly that they all line with True North. Its all about the skies..
happy days
