I thought they already knew they built them out of big rocks
Yeah from the bottom up, because top down looks much more difficult
You knever know with those clever buggers!
Hmm yes perhaps with a system of springs and pulleys, one could contrive otherwise
Getting the stones to the construction site is one thing.
Stacking them up in a pyramd shape, though, is a way bigger problem that still generates debates - and loads of crazy and stupid ideas, too.
Yeah, top down you'd have to juggle many pieces at once ;)
But now we know those big rocks can float. I imagine they threw the rocks in the water, attached an outboard and just putt-putted along until they got to the pyramid.
