    Yeah I’m so tired of hearing that “We can’t build the pyramids even with the technology of today” because that’s just a bullshit statement with nothing supporting it. It is just to try to dismiss actual reality in order to prop up “It was aliens obviously” that has zero evidence.

      Right wingers have nothing but bullshit statements with nothing supporting them. They operate on the principle that they can produce bullshit faster than reasonable people can debunk it.

        That’s because as soon as you start using critical thinking for even the most seemingly mundane things, it starts to seep into the rest of your psyche. And since their ideology doesn’t hold up to basic scrutiny, it makes everything crumble.

        So best to just leave it alone.

      Imho the only answer that needs is “prove it”.

      What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed with the same. So, prove it.

      I saw a documentary where they built a scaled down pyramid with a smaller workforce in a few months with ancient technology. The numbers scaled with the numbers that are the consensus of archaeologists for the size of the workforce and amount of time needed to built the Great Pyramid.

      So not only could we do it with modern technology, we could do it with ancient technology. We just don’t want to spend the money on that because it makes more sense to build other things.
