How Did The Ancient Egyptians Build The Pyramids?

The Great Pyramid of Giza is made of 2.3 million blocks of stone, some heavier than a fully loaded delivery truck, and it was built in about twenty years with no iron tools, no wheel doing any of the hauling, and no crane. This video goes block by block through how it actually happened: the copper and dolerite tools that cut the stone, the wet-sand trick that cut sledge friction in half, the canal system logged by a real foreman named Merer on the oldest inscribed papyri ever found, the well-fed rotating workforce that built it (not slaves), the ramp-and-post system uncovered at the Hatnub quarry in 2018, and the star-sighting method that aligned the entire structure to true north with almost no error at all. This isn't a lost-technology story. It's an organization story — and it's more impressive than the myths.
