How the Great Pyramid Was REALLY Built (And What Movies Got Wrong)

For 3,800 years, the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest structure on Earth. It was built without engines, steel, or cranes—using copper chisels, wooden sleds, and raw coordination. But how did 2.3 million stone blocks get stacked with surgical precision in just 20 years? In this episode of Still Standing, we go beyond the myths. We explore the real worker towns, the forensic evidence from ancient cemeteries, and a 4,600-year-old logbook written by a boat inspector named Merer that reveals the truth about how the stones actually moved. If you enjoy ancient engineering mysteries told as stories without the boring lectures, hit SUBSCRIBE and join the crew!
