How did they grow all those crops in the desert? The same way. The Nile river is only 13 miles from the pyramids and I've seen pictures of trees growing near the Nile.

Where did they get all that wood in the desert?
So? He was demonstrating how to raise a Stonehenge stone, you don't need any water to raise the pyramid stones, but you need lots of water for all the pyramid workers. They dug canals to move water from the Nile:
Living in a desert water would be scarce, and they didnt have hoses. They would have to bring in water by the buckets.
I don't know how far the canals went, but they also built dams which raised the water level so the canals could carry it further from the river.
When farmers started to grow the crops they needed to be watered and they didnt have the advanced equipment that we have today and using buckets to water a large field isnt exactly as easy as 123. So how did the egyptians get the water? They dug cannals from the Nile to their fields.
Stone cutting techniques have been invented and reinvented throughout history.
How with those techniques do you CARVE the stone to get them to be that shape? Pretty sure he had those pre-made.
Well, at 1:10 in the video, he does show the result of lifting up a block for his miniature stonehenge arch, but he doesn't show how he did it. But it's pretty simple. He showed how to insert some pebbles under the center of the block. Then you alternately lift each end with a lever on a fulcrum, and shove a piece of wood under it after you lift it. once it's at the right height you just slide it over where you want it, he demonstrated how he can do that. He could do that all by himself but it would take some time. A well trained crew could do it faster. I think about how long it takes me to change a tire, versus a NASCAR crew, just because it takes me 10 minutes doesn't mean the racing crew can't do it in 10 seconds.
Building the pyramids, and other massive monuments would require a significant amount of lift along with movement. He did not show one technique as to how he would lift a 100+ ton stone parallel to the ground.

Typo? What's that got to do with the thread or your post?
