Pharaoh: “Yes, I think ten stones a day is fine for my taste. I wouldn’t ever dream of having thousands of workers… the hosts of armies at my command are more for looks than for enforcement.”
Bruh modern scientists and historians literally still can’t explain how the pyramids were constructed back in that day I think they would’ve considered the fact they had slaves involved, they all agree that it would be virtually impossible to the point that there is theories that aliens helped them do it. You sound more dumb if you try and act like it was easy😂. It doesn’t matter how many workers you have only so many can help carry a 4 thousand pound stone to the top of a pyramid. It’s not about how long it took them it that’s they literally didn’t have the technology to pull it off at the time. But you’re right none of these ppl who are way smarter than you considered your point😂. That’s like saying if we got enough people together we should be able to make a ufo that travels at the speed of light😂. You have no perspective on the technology they had available
Fun fact, king tut's father Akenaten was a bit of a weird guy. He made the first monotheistic religion (focusing on a central sun diety named aten) and founded a new capital 250 miles from the prior capital of thebes. Nobody stopped him, the new city was built and religion adopted, and they only moved back to thebes and reverted to the traditional egyptian pantheon after he passed away. Why did I write this essay? To demonstrate that not only have the egyptians done crazier shit than build pyramids but also to show that you can do nearly whatever you want when everyone thinks you're a living god (like the pharoahs were). For anyone that made it through this wall, whose your favorite figure from egyptian history?
1 guy cut and place 10 stones a day = 664 years. 10 guys cut and place 10 stones a day = 66.4 years. 100 guys cut and place 10 stones a day = 6.64 years.
yeah also when you have the power and all the slave that those egyptian ruler had its easy to understand how they were really built ,sad for those poor slave that someone stupid like joe rogan spit on those poor slave because is brain is too slow
Please don't forget one thing: The pyramids had back in time a harbor. They did not just cut stones there at the pyramid. They imported the stones from all directions very likely. They had likely connections to different stone-pits and paid them for "ready stones".These stones were very simple, it wasn't a church or a cathedral. It was like "We need 10.000 blocks of 3x3 feet" and that's it.
I went to the pyramids. The stones were about 8 by 10 feet at the smallest and there is absolutely no way you could put more than a few of those blocks on a ship at a time, you look at it, realizing each piece is cut from one stone. You look at the towers they build from one piece of granite, and the precision of the carvings, it looks like a laser cut it, and you sit and wonder how the fuck they did it, there must have been thousand or hundreds of thousands of slaves working all day every day. Some of it was damn near perfect. After 5 thousand years? In the desert? All of the things we have built will be gone in 5 thousands years. That is why it is mind blowing
@@jessdedicationIt seems like a razor cut them because the stones had thousands of years to settle and mold to each other, and of course a giant hunk of rock will last thousands of years. That’s why we have statues from millennia ago and why we have mountains.
Here is a thing to think about. Vikings built longboats and massive ships that could sail on every sea on the globe. They often built them inland and rolled the ships on logs down to the sea or fjords. Or lowered them using some kind of improvised pulley system. The Egyptians were experts in cutting stones, math, and slavery. They had a grand job to do, to build a tomb worthy of their divine monarch. So it is not so weird to think that they could pull it off. If you are surrounded by basically flat sandy terrain and you get a hold of some wood to create massive skis for a sled... Then you can easily pull those massive rocks either with enough slaves or animals.
Except it wasn't slavery (not always), but just a way of paying taxes. The cardinal distinction being semantics, those people apparently were well taken care of. Indeed, it was a city for dedicated workers who were housed, fed and received medical benefits.
@@sandergoutier6765 It's not crazy, it's just dumb.

Archologists found a quary site used to build the Pyramids. After several experiments they estimated 3500 men would've been able to produce around 250 blocks a day. It would have taken 27 years to produce all the blocks needed. Bare in mind I'm sure the ancient egyptians would've needed even fewer people as i'm sure experienced stone miners would have quarried far faster then some archologists.
Medieval cathedrals took decades or even centuries to complete despite using/moving far less massive stones. Few people who worked on a cathedral expected to see it finished during their lifetime. Famously construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248. Although not completed construction was halted in the around 1560. That's 312 years of initial construction & it still wasn't finished! Attempts to complete the construction began around 1814 but the effort was not properly funded until the 1840s. Time was perceived differently before the industrial revolution.
Medieval cathedrals weren't built on the backs of thousands upon thousands of fanatical devotees. If the king's and queen's of Europe had the work force that the pharos possessed their construction times would have been much shorter. Not to mention that by the time the great pyramids were built they had thousands of years of experience behind them. It wasn't the Europeans fault that much of that experience was lost over the 3000 years or so between the great pyramids and the building of the cathedrals.
Those Cathedrals have considerably more complex architecture and stonework than the pyramids.a Pyramid can be built by pure manpower, but it takes more than manpower to construct arches and buttresses and domes, it takes extremely skilled artisans. The funding for some cathedrals was also inconsistent, which lead to work slowing or stopping. Pyramids likely had some laborers working on them year round, with additional labor coming between harvest and planting seasons.
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 you missed my point. Simply put in modern times we expect speedy construction of enemy massive buildings. In olden & ancient times taking a very long time to build something was acceptable. A single pyramid could have taken 200 years to build, which seems unfathomable in modern terms but to the ancients would have been fine.

That wasn't because of the tools or materials, it was because France went through several wars with Britain and suffered insane levels of corruption at that time. They were perfectly capable tool-wise, they just couldn't pay the workers or buy the stone required
You'll never get some of these people to question anything an authority figure has told them. The granite and some of the other blocks rated higher on the mohs scale then the copper tools they had at the time XD
@@Radkinationbeing a contrarian and thinking everything is a lie does not make you smart. It takes literally 5 seconds of research to find that they used sand abrasion to cut stone
@@RadkinationOh Christopher in an effort to talk down and look smart you've made yourself look foolish because the mohs scale doesn't refer to anything other than a geological materials susceptibility to being scratched, it takes no variables into account such as crushing, powdering, impacts and other variables that you've twisted to somehow elevate these materials into the Impossible to work when they're not that you've made them. Do better because you couldn't even question the authority of your own narcissistic ego to realise you failed a basic understanding assessment in terms of science. Places you maybe learned such ignorance from could be but most likely aren't limited to people like Graham Hancock a former foreign affairs journalist and author looking to sell books, Ben k a cloud computing engineer and website hoster, Jimmy corsetti a former fraud investigator and professional Googler just like you, Randall Carlson who's often touted as a expert validator yet he's a geomythologist someone who studies poetic traditions in stories and the list goes on but the point is none of these people floating these evidence empty theories have the four year master's degree in actually just showing you understand the practical applications of archaeology specialised in their area they don't have the four year masters degree in philosophy or the two to four years of further field experience needed to call actually themselves doctors of Egyptology but they all have a vested interest in terms of money making from extremely ignorant people who adore fantasy theories because the actual evidence bores their sensibilities and that's not just dangerous that's worrying.
No one equates ancient with inferior, Such an ignorant statement often uttered by puesdo intellectuals like you because we use several ancient systems of maths, science, English, engineering and other techniques as old as time. The simple fact is that you yourself equate ancient with inferior but that's not the common held view.
Technology today doesn't always mean we make something superior, only that we have to put less manpower and energy into doing something. I can move a 10 ton stone block with a crane, by myself. If you want to have a race moving 10 ton blocks and placing them next to each other using only one crane and some chains or 100 people using some ropes and pulleys, I can assure you, the crane's going to lose.
The way I put it is that we moved away from their practices. That was their lifestyle during those periods. They knew nothing different than working with stone. They also were much more involved with stone as their lifestyle. Not just a 40 hr work week or an artistic hobby. People thing that once humans learned something that it is just known forever. Some things become lost with time once you move away from it. At some point the Roman empire had something to do with ending this lifestyle of making pyramids. I don't understand why they don't have the knowledge written down somewhere though. That part suprises me. Especially since the Egyptians recorded a lot of their life on their buildings. Someone definitely knew what to do. It is amazing they were very aware of geometry and mathematics already. The thing is they didn't have computers and calculators. I wonder how they knew to calculate as for numbers. Honestly I bet even math was formed by understanding rock. That is how the clock was formed and the calendar.
@@alanboggs2315Ancient math was really weird for our understanding. Math problems weren't in equation notating (think a2+b2=c2) but instead almost like instructions. The Egyptians understood how circles and triangles worked, and could calculate forces. Edit: a cool example from Wikipedia of ancient Egyptian mathematics problems: "(1) Example of calculating 100 loaves of bread of pefsu 20 (2) If someone says to you: "You have 100 loaves of bread of pefsu 20 (3) to be exchanged for beer of pefsu 4 (4) like 1/2 1/4 malt-date beer" (5) First calculate the grain required for the 100 loaves of the bread of pefsu 20 (6) The result is 5 heqat. Then reckon what you need for a des-jug of beer like the beer called 1/2 1/4 malt-date beer (7) The result is 1/2 of the heqat measure needed for des-jug of beer made from Upper-Egyptian grain. (8) Calculate 1/2 of 5 heqat, the result will be 2 1/2 (9) Take this 2 1/2 four times (10) The result is 10. Then you say to him: (11) "Behold! The beer quantity is found to be correct."[1]"
Joe Rogan can't imagine any construction without power tools and a team of Mexicans. He has no idea what craftsmanship is or how not too long ago we had many people skilled in all physical trades doing incredible work.
It's so stupid how much people can underestimate the power of being willing to throw hundreds of thousands of workers and slaves at a project with little regard for their lives or safety.
First off The great pyramid doesn't have 2.3 million blocks. There is a lot of rubble infill. Then most of the blocks are limestone, quarried right next to the pyramid. Most of the blocks only weigh a couple tons. Most of the blocks are only straightened off on a couple sides. There were not slaves building the pyramids, they were skilled workers and they worked in seasons. This isn't rocket science how they did it, and most egyptologists actually do agree .

@@bnesownand the people who have made contrarianism the center of the worldview/attitude will be lead away from real information simply because it’s “mainstream”
He is right about the last part. "We're thinking of technology only as technology that we've implemented" they can't fathom using anything other than electric tools to create huge structures.
So 10 stones a day for one person takes 664 years.....by that logic 664 people each cutting 10 stones a day could do it in a year right? Large workforce, good engineering, done. No need for this bullshit.
yeah if it was that simple it wouldn't be unsolved to this day genius. all they have are theory's and all those theory's have are more studies disproving them
@@DeterminedFC It isn't unsolved ffs, people are just too arrogant and small minded these days to believe that ancient people had brains and knowledge. They had brilliant mathematicians and talented engineers, expert stonemasons and the will to expend massive effort and resources to create such things as the great pyramids. We might not know the minutiae of the processes but it's perfectly within reason to understand how they were made. The reason the modern world has such a hard time getting it's collective heads around the feat is that most people now are unwilling to conceive that much effort and expense being put into the project. Odd really, considering how much we have managed to do over the millenia, that we still give so little regard to our own achievements. The fact that you are unwilling to understand that people from previous eras were just as capable and resourceful as we are today is proof of the twin follies of ignorance and arrogance. Human nature hasn't really changed in the last 10,000 years, why do you think we are any better now than we were back then? We live in a world of amazing technologies and understanding, where we can communicate across the globe nigh-instantaneously, send telescopes to space to observe the distant past across unimaginable distances, cure diseases and manipulate the very building blocks of life itself, and yet, that same world contains anti-vaxers, flat earthers and 5G conspiracy theorists who would deny these same great accomplishments. For every great victory the human race achieves there are great idiocies which hold us back. For every great pyramid we errect, there are fools who think it must all have been done by some ancient mystery technology or alien, or some other nonsense. Get over yourself.
@@DeterminedFCWell if you thought about it for a second you will realise it is feasible. Obviously 1 man cannot cut 10 stones a day that is ludicrous. Estimates have there being 20-30k permanent workers, and also shift workers like farmers for labour, on months they had no work. Don’t forget all of this is over 25-30 years just for the great pyramid of Giza. I am not sure how old you are but I’m assuming 25-30 years is over half your life. Just think how long that is. Then imagine 20-30,000 people working nearly everyday for all that time. With it possibly being over 100,000 different individuals over its construction. It’s hard to fathom but that is why so many people discredit it. I think it shows how much humans can really do given a common goal. Unfortunately that is a rare thing now.
@@DeterminedFC What's unsolved? The stones that arent exposed to the elements have tool markings.. They found the quarry where the stone came from and there is graffiti from the workers in some of the voids. They even discovered an eye witness account in the form of a several thousand year old papyri. Understand the workforce wasn't just a few hundred people... it was tens of thousands. The only reason its consider a mystery is people like to make up conspiracy theories.
@@Pottymouth_just read this comment section. You have a hundred examples. Rogan is both dumb and uninformed. Because he listens to charlatans trying to sell books.
@@kabnoot because of basic math. With a team of trained stone masons or just workers in general could prob move 10+ stones a day. Now add up the tens of thousands of teams and you get a more realistic time. Rogan goes of a laughably low number of stone/day and just disregards how smart humans are. His arguments are litteraly constructed the opposite of how you should make arguments.

@@binabina4445 not...really, no. We have written records for most of them because the Egyptians fucking loved bureaucracy. We know who the workers are, what they were fed, their daily quotas, and we even have some filed complaints about middle managers and materials! We just don't know what happened to most of the bodies inside because they were looted pretty much immediately after Egypt was colonized by the Greeks.
We do not know how long ago construction started, and humans have been around in current form for at min 280-300k years. In that time frame we know of several events provable by DNA bottlenecks alone that wiped a massive amount of life out.
Joe’s entire argument here is based on the variable for # of workers being 1. It’s estimated that ~100,000 people worked on the pyramids. That cuts the timeframe down astronomically
And with his numbers, 3.2 million stones, 10 stones a day, that’d take 100,000 people a whopping 3.2 days 😂 it’d take 10,000 people 32 days, and 1,000 people 320 days. 1,000 people 1 YEAR to build it.

I think people discount how incredibly talented people were back then. We’ve obviously gotten to the point where we are today technologically because of the great talent back then.
they may have been better at shaping stone than we are today, but if they saw us with the most mundane of steel tools they'd think we were sorcerers, never mind a smart phone
I think people discredit how smart they were back then. People act like the ancient world would think we are gods. Yet we don’t have the technology to move a single block that was used to make the pyramids.
@@VinceAikens The Exodus story is just a biblical myth bro. It's a story by the Jews at the time of the Babylonian exile. Yeah, the pyramids builders were probably mostly Egyptians.
its not even about the strength. in todays time it would take 10K men over many years just to build one pyramid, its absolutely diabolical and naive to believe that they were just chucking those stones with their bare hands and some levers. they definitely had some sort of tech that we never knew about. and the pyramids themselves are living proof of this as these were actually a powerhouses and electricity plants rather than burial grounds for their kings and queens. these pyramids were highly conductive and some hieroglyphics depict pyramids with obilisk at the top. these only to be used for harvesting and directing massive amounts of energy. if they truly were in the stone age, then what did they need all this electricity for? they had batteries before batteries were batteries. they had massive conductive material before copper wire ever became a thing. how? and why?
Yet they had copper tools, which has been proven to be too weak to make cuts to the stone used. No amount of power and physical manpower can solve this.
@theblockchaindoesntlie4503 woah dude, like there's no way humans can stack rocks on top of each other. It must be aliens. We don't possess the technology to stack rocks maaaan. And these rocks were made of rock, and there's no way you can cut rock into squares and then put it on top of other rocks. Rocks are hard, man. One time, I saw Bigfoot while I was boofing DMT, and he totally looked at me and told me that he he helped build the pyramids with space tools. Now let's complain about trans people even though I don't know any and what they do has no bearing on my life. Want some elk meat? You get used to the worms. My brain is like 90% worms, and I'm doing alright, woaaah. The worms also told me that humans can't put rocks on top of other rocks. They don't possess the technology to move rocks.
If you aimed at 100 stones a day, that's just over 60 years. All you have to do is look at it long term. You start with 200 stone masons, we know they were available because most of the ancient world was made of stone. Each stone Mason has two apprentices. After 5 years the 200 stone masons become 600 stone masons each with two apprentices so after 10 years you now have another 1200 stone masons. People who didn't make it as stone masons became labourers or other occupations. It only sounds difficult if you make it difficult. The pyramids were built so stop looking at it like it's impossible. Go look at Petra in Jordan, someone carved that as well. Or look at Newgrange in Ireland someone built that as well 1500 years before the pyramids. Ireland had no population worth talking about but they managed to drag 100's of tonns of stone 100's of miles to the site! Edit: should add, Coral Castle, Florida. He build this on his own (and still had a day job) without any of his neighbours noticing him working. Look it up!
I do think the pyramids were done in less than 40-50 years because construction started almost immediately once a new pharaoh was crowned. It also needed to be complete before they passed away. In some cases, they made small pyramids to store the body until the big one was complete. Kind of like on those renovation shows where they put the whole family in an RV while they finish remodeling the house. Lol😂
Watermarks water erosion on the sphinx . The Egyptian book of the dead.. the kings chamber within the pyramids and the purpose of the pyramids are unknown.
There is evidence that is emerging, dating the pyramids before the Egyptians occupied the land. There's even Egyptian archaeologist who claimed this exact thing
Seriously, I'm surprised your comment is still up, despite multiple times refreshing and looking for my comments saying the same, I can't find them. But my comment just saying "test comment 😊" pops up ?
@DKdrop so we're just going to ignore the casing stones on the giza pyramids? The great pyramid, kings chamber, queens chamber, grand gallery; all granite
For anyone wondering why he’s qualified to speak on this, he built a handicap ramp over the course of a summer one year in high school. Hardest job he’s ever had according to him
It is possible with 100,000 construction workers (Herodotus as source). Imagine having to make a million stones with different sizes. 1/4 of the workers are cutting and measuring the stones from quarry. 1/4 are shipping to on field. Another 1/4 are demolishing and making necessary changes to geographical area where stones are being placed at. Finally another 1/4 are the ones doing the installation/assembly on field. If there is 90 working days per year for them to have good weather. Therefore, the 27 years x 90 working days is 2430 working days. Which means they are doing 944 stones per working day. 5500 lbs of stone will be the general weight being pushed or moved around. Usually a person is able to pull 60% their weight but most likely they would have used an ox (2.5x of ox weight towing capacity) which can technically pull 7500 lbs. Which means 2 oxes were used to pull 2 stones equally about 11000 lbs. That means 472 trips were taken, don’t know the number of oxes, but most likely they had horses to help as well(1.5x of horse weight towing capacity). Logistically, the cutting, moving, demolition, and installation of stones would have been done all under one contractor. It is crazy that they used 100,000 people for 20 years. To give you a modern feat, the pentagon is 29 acres with 17.5 miles of corridors and used 33,000 workers to build it under 16 months! Which is insane but shows the possibility of knowing logistics and engineering.
I agree with you and there's no doubt the Egyptians were experts in stone masonry, they spent thousands of years working stone. But there's evidence of a specific style of masonry in the core foundations of many structures across the world that is not explained by the official history narrative. For example there's overcuts with a defined radius in the kerf that is not evidence of hand tools. The symmetry in the polished basalt statues. There's flat surfaces in the granite boxes that exceed the tolerance of a machine straight edge, perfect right angles and parallel surfaces polished to within the same tolerance as engine blocks. The scoop marks all over the quarry at unfinished obelisk, the nubs on the stones, the polygonal block walls. This evidence exists all over the world but supposedly built before they could sail across the ocean. The crude, less precise, smaller stone work is always on top of the larger more precise megalithic stones. Academic explanations don't fully explain these anomalies and I think people like Graham Hancock, Harry Dunn and Randall Carlson have valid theories worthy of debate. They may be wrong, but if they're not wrong it would have a very profound impact on how we understand our history on this planet
Not arguing one way or another but Egypt didnt have horses until about a thousand years later. Even then horses were very small. They were the size of large dogs or small ponies. Judging by models of humans and oxen found in tombs from ancient egypt, oxen were also much smaller back then They also claim the ancient Egyptians did it without the wheel. The lack of wheels completely changes the numbers on what can be pulled by humans or oxen. Towing capacity is usually calculated with wheels in mind. Without them friction of what you're dragging adds a lot of extra weight The official narrative of when the pyramids were built is already so far back that we have to really rethink everything we think we know about their world compared to ours It wasnt even a desert environment they were dragging them through. It was a muddy more tropical environment. The desertification of the Sahara began around the same time the pyramids were built 2500BC when the monsoons started going further south Honestly I feel like a lot of issues with the official narrative can be fixed if we just admit they had wheels. I know we havent found wheels but that doesnt necessarily mean they were nonexistent. They couldve been reused for other purposes. The lack of wheels for a long time afterwards can also be explained Those people lived around the time of one of the greatest climatic events in human history and they were in ground zero of it (the drying of the Sahara). During the bronze age collapse Greek society was so thoroughly ravaged that they lost the ability to read and write. Reading and writing comes before the wheel. It's not unusual for such important technology to end up lost. You lose craftsmen due to climatic changes and lose access to as much wood and wheels become harder and harder to come by It'd be fitting that the secret lost ancient technology is just a wheel

Jesus h everyone is just so ready to believe people that have never done it and have actually 0 evidence of any of their claims. You know what's interesting is there are no hieroglyphs anywhere in Egypt showing them building it. There are paintings and glyphs showing everything else they did. They just didn't want to make notations of the single greatest things they built
@RommekePommeke no I use independent thought with all the information I've heard to come up with my own opinion that usually lies somewhere in the middle of things and is usually closer to the actual truth. You don't think the winner write history and that some of history may have been burned out of our past because of war and revolutions.
I still remember when I was a kid, and me and my firends carved into stone with sticks and stones, it took time, but it was possible, though we didn't really end up with anything. So when you have tools made for the job and the skill to use them, then obviously you can create great things, and it is ignorant to claim otherwise.
Keep in mind each stone weighed 2.5 tons on average. Moving the stones is one thing but positioning them into place each is another. They would have had to have cranes.
You can build a crane without an engine, then it's just powered by people. If you've ever watched someone repair a gravestone then you can actually see a similar construction to what the Egyptians would have used
Ive said it already, but i love your humor. I study ancient architecture and the ancient alien narrative absolutely infuriates me. Keep up the good work.

Like, dude that’s why I’m watching, so you can show me, now you’re asking me??! 😂
I like to think about how if ancient people had technology comparable to modern day, how if society fell people would scrap all the metal and reusable stuff, to make weapons. And if they did industrialize, but there tech was more in line with eco friendly, it would be plenty of time for it to biodegrade. if they had clean energy there wouldn't be a carbon layer. I doubt it, but it's neat. My brother always says if you had your whole life with the task of making a perfect statue, it would be, spread that over generations and it's very achievable.
No one mentioned anything about aliens. Joe said it was likely done by an ancient civilization much older than the Egyptians - who rediscovered or inherited it.
I don't think aliens is necessary the argument, advanced knowledge is, that could be achieved though revelation from a knowledgeable bieng as well along with countless other possibilities.
He has iron instruments. Did they have iron instruments 4-5000 years ago? Why does it have to be an alien narrative? We just don't know how it was built. And he's working limestone. Try doing the same with granite or basalt.
videos of chopping wood and destroying things get millions of views, but this...... this deserves those millions of views, because destroying things is easy and Creating is difficult...... Hats off to you
Cutting something from a block of something else is a skill I’ll admit that but you can do the same with wood and other materials don’t act like this type of work is exclusive to what I believe to be limestone and stop sounding so damn pretentious
Were still discovering that Roman cement is way more durable and advanced than our own, so yeah, there are probably great things that were lost to time.

@@bb5979you don't need to know everything to know there wasn't a super advanced civilisation living in the past. We can carbon date dinosaur fossils.

From what I understand, the pyramids and other huge projects were contructed as a means of employing farmers during times of the year when the Nile was flooded and they couldn't farm.
They can’t stand the fact that maybe humans were smarter back then than they are now. You will be surprised what a skilled craftsman can accomplish with his hands.
People really underestimate what millions or even let’s say hundreds of thousands of slaves, Elephants, Other huge animals, money, power, influence, engineers coming up with all kinds of different ways to get things done, and skilled laborers can accomplish. With literally everything at their disposal. (He Make it sound like a few guys had just a stick and a damn hammer). And it probably took many years to build if not longer, maybe only a few decades, maybe less, no one really knows how long. Point is when your throwing literally everything at your disposal at something like that, it will cut the time frame down drastically.. But they had ways of doing things. There are tons of amazing feats throughput history, inventions, ways of accomplishing things. Heck they are not even the tallest ancient Pyramids in the world. The Aztecs or Mayans or whoever in Mexico hold that title, I believe.
I agree with you overall but I’m just gonna nitpick here, I don’t think Egyptians would have had elephants, African elephants aren’t really tameable the same way Asian elephants are, and I’ve never heard of the ancient Egyptians trading for Asian elephants with people from the Indian subcontinent
There's a reason why even the egyptologists can't agree on how. You didn't solve anything by mentioning elephants or other large animals 😂 try cutting rose granite blocks that weigh tons then come back
@@WhobgobblinThere's two ports along the Nile that housed animal trading posts, benerike and elephantine and both had skeletons of elephants found there within the past 8 years dated to just before the Romans came to town. Trade was a big deal with the Egyptians and ivory proved popular.
@@Jacksimon18909So you think elephants and animals stacked 2 million stones weighing 2 tons each ? Really ? Even if you have a million people or a million elephants there are but so many hands that could cover the stone so numbers don't matter at all 100 people turning a door knob doesn't make opening the door faster or even possible so you don't have an argument. The pyramids can't be recreated even with what we have today . That's a fact
We're talking about tens of thousands of people working themselves to death while being whipped if they take a break here, not some quarry workers having a chat and a coffee 5 times a day.
It turns out they weren't slaves being mistreated; the workers were being paid. Archeologists have actually found records of how much and how often the workers were paid. Someone was assigned to keep track of the costs of building the pyramids.

The people that did it drew pictures of themselves all over their work. So we kind of know who did it because of the pictures they drew of themselves lol
Those stones weren’t placed there they were built there! They used limestone cement to make the pyramids! Or well that’s the best explanation I’ve seen.
“We’re thinking of technology only as technology that we’ve implemented.” I get the point he’s trying to make with this statement, but it also points out his flawed argument. It’s almost poetic
No matter what he or others think... what ever "technology" they had, still had to follow the laws of physics... and there is a natural progression to physics and technology. We'd see evidence of this super secret advanced technology, but we don't. Just because we can't say with certainty how they did it does not mean advanced technology, same way as seeing some lights in the sky doesn't mean aliens.
@@musicmadebyai His argument is flawed based on him saying 10 stones a day when they had thousands of slaves working around the clock. So the whole thing is pointless to even think about, Joe has a hard time with math & history.
All of the evidence that they have found in egypt shows that they used bronze tools not iron tools like that man carving The hardness scale of the materials is a serious question

Dude has a bologna for a brain.
Pharaoh: “Yes, I think ten stones a day is fine for my taste. I wouldn’t ever dream of having thousands of workers… the hosts of armies at my command are more for looks than for enforcement.”
Bruh modern scientists and historians literally still can’t explain how the pyramids were constructed back in that day I think they would’ve considered the fact they had slaves involved, they all agree that it would be virtually impossible to the point that there is theories that aliens helped them do it. You sound more dumb if you try and act like it was easy😂. It doesn’t matter how many workers you have only so many can help carry a 4 thousand pound stone to the top of a pyramid. It’s not about how long it took them it that’s they literally didn’t have the technology to pull it off at the time. But you’re right none of these ppl who are way smarter than you considered your point😂. That’s like saying if we got enough people together we should be able to make a ufo that travels at the speed of light😂. You have no perspective on the technology they had available

Fun fact, king tut's father Akenaten was a bit of a weird guy. He made the first monotheistic religion (focusing on a central sun diety named aten) and founded a new capital 250 miles from the prior capital of thebes. Nobody stopped him, the new city was built and religion adopted, and they only moved back to thebes and reverted to the traditional egyptian pantheon after he passed away.
Why did I write this essay? To demonstrate that not only have the egyptians done crazier shit than build pyramids but also to show that you can do nearly whatever you want when everyone thinks you're a living god (like the pharoahs were).

yeah also when you have the power and all the slave that those egyptian ruler had its easy to understand how they were really built ,sad for those poor slave that someone stupid like joe rogan spit on those poor slave because is brain is too slow
Please don't forget one thing: The pyramids had back in time a harbor. They did not just cut stones there at the pyramid. They imported the stones from all directions very likely. They had likely connections to different stone-pits and paid them for "ready stones".These stones were very simple, it wasn't a church or a cathedral. It was like "We need 10.000 blocks of 3x3 feet" and that's it.
I went to the pyramids. The stones were about 8 by 10 feet at the smallest and there is absolutely no way you could put more than a few of those blocks on a ship at a time, you look at it, realizing each piece is cut from one stone. You look at the towers they build from one piece of granite, and the precision of the carvings, it looks like a laser cut it, and you sit and wonder how the fuck they did it, there must have been thousand or hundreds of thousands of slaves working all day every day. Some of it was damn near perfect. After 5 thousand years? In the desert? All of the things we have built will be gone in 5 thousands years. That is why it is mind blowing
@@jessdedicationIt seems like a razor cut them because the stones had thousands of years to settle and mold to each other, and of course a giant hunk of rock will last thousands of years. That’s why we have statues from millennia ago and why we have mountains.

Here is a thing to think about. Vikings built longboats and massive ships that could sail on every sea on the globe.
They often built them inland and rolled the ships on logs down to the sea or fjords. Or lowered them using some kind of improvised pulley system.
The Egyptians were experts in cutting stones, math, and slavery. They had a grand job to do, to build a tomb worthy of their divine monarch.
So it is not so weird to think that they could pull it off.
If you are surrounded by basically flat sandy terrain and you get a hold of some wood to create massive skis for a sled... Then you can easily pull those massive rocks either with enough slaves or animals.
Except it wasn't slavery (not always), but just a way of paying taxes. The cardinal distinction being semantics, those people apparently were well taken care of. Indeed, it was a city for dedicated workers who were housed, fed and received medical benefits.
They weren't tombs...

Archologists found a quary site used to build the Pyramids. After several experiments they estimated 3500 men would've been able to produce around 250 blocks a day. It would have taken 27 years to produce all the blocks needed.
Bare in mind I'm sure the ancient egyptians would've needed even fewer people as i'm sure experienced stone miners would have quarried far faster then some archologists.
Slave labor
27 years sounds about right, honestly. 20-30 years is the estimated time it took to construct a large pyramid.
Plus they had multiple quarries in some points in time, which is why some only took 10-15 years while others took about 20-30
Medieval cathedrals took decades or even centuries to complete despite using/moving far less massive stones. Few people who worked on a cathedral expected to see it finished during their lifetime.
Famously construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248. Although not completed construction was halted in the around 1560. That's 312 years of initial construction & it still wasn't finished!
Attempts to complete the construction began around 1814 but the effort was not properly funded until the 1840s.
Time was perceived differently before the industrial revolution.
Medieval cathedrals weren't built on the backs of thousands upon thousands of fanatical devotees. If the king's and queen's of Europe had the work force that the pharos possessed their construction times would have been much shorter.
Not to mention that by the time the great pyramids were built they had thousands of years of experience behind them. It wasn't the Europeans fault that much of that experience was lost over the 3000 years or so between the great pyramids and the building of the cathedrals.
Those Cathedrals have considerably more complex architecture and stonework than the pyramids.a Pyramid can be built by pure manpower, but it takes more than manpower to construct arches and buttresses and domes, it takes extremely skilled artisans.
The funding for some cathedrals was also inconsistent, which lead to work slowing or stopping. Pyramids likely had some laborers working on them year round, with additional labor coming between harvest and planting seasons.
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 you missed my point. Simply put in modern times we expect speedy construction of enemy massive buildings.

The issue is most people equate “ancient” as inferior. We tend to think that it has to be done with technology in the scope of our era.
This is a really good point. Never really looked at it that way before.
No one equates ancient with inferior, Such an ignorant statement often uttered by puesdo intellectuals like you because we use several ancient systems of maths, science, English, engineering and other techniques as old as time.
The simple fact is that you yourself equate ancient with inferior but that's not the common held view.
Technology today doesn't always mean we make something superior, only that we have to put less manpower and energy into doing something. I can move a 10 ton stone block with a crane, by myself. If you want to have a race moving 10 ton blocks and placing them next to each other using only one crane and some chains or 100 people using some ropes and pulleys, I can assure you, the crane's going to lose.
The way I put it is that we moved away from their practices. That was their lifestyle during those periods. They knew nothing different than working with stone. They also were much more involved with stone as their lifestyle. Not just a 40 hr work week or an artistic hobby. People thing that once humans learned something that it is just known forever. Some things become lost with time once you move away from it. At some point the Roman empire had something to do with ending this lifestyle of making pyramids. I don't understand why they don't have the knowledge written down somewhere though. That part suprises me. Especially since the Egyptians recorded a lot of their life on their buildings. Someone definitely knew what to do. It is amazing they were very aware of geometry and mathematics already. The thing is they didn't have computers and calculators. I wonder how they knew to calculate as for numbers. Honestly I bet even math was formed by understanding rock. That is how the clock was formed and the calendar.
@@alanboggs2315Ancient math was really weird for our understanding. Math problems weren't in equation notating (think a2+b2=c2) but instead almost like instructions. The Egyptians understood how circles and triangles worked, and could calculate forces.
Edit: a cool example from Wikipedia of ancient Egyptian mathematics problems:
"(1) Example of calculating 100 loaves of bread of pefsu 20
(2) If someone says to you: "You have 100 loaves of bread of pefsu 20
(3) to be exchanged for beer of pefsu 4
(4) like 1/2 1/4 malt-date beer"
(5) First calculate the grain required for the 100 loaves of the bread of pefsu 20
(6) The result is 5 heqat. Then reckon what you need for a des-jug of beer like the beer called 1/2 1/4 malt-date beer
(7) The result is 1/2 of the heqat measure needed for des-jug of beer made from Upper-Egyptian grain.
(8) Calculate 1/2 of 5 heqat, the result will be 2 1/2
(9) Take this 2 1/2 four times
(10) The result is 10. Then you say to him:
(11) "Behold! The beer quantity is found to be correct."[1]"
this guy right here built the pyramids alone, master of his craft.
Joe Rogan can't imagine any construction without power tools and a team of Mexicans. He has no idea what craftsmanship is or how not too long ago we had many people skilled in all physical trades doing incredible work.
It's so stupid how much people can underestimate the power of being willing to throw hundreds of thousands of workers and slaves at a project with little regard for their lives or safety.
It doesn’t work. More guys just makes more confusion.
Maybe there was only 25% slaves. The most of them must be highly payed workers. Keep it in mind math is universal and math was holy to them
First off The great pyramid doesn't have 2.3 million blocks. There is a lot of rubble infill. Then most of the blocks are limestone, quarried right next to the pyramid. Most of the blocks only weigh a couple tons. Most of the blocks are only straightened off on a couple sides. There were not slaves building the pyramids, they were skilled workers and they worked in seasons.
This isn't rocket science how they did it, and most egyptologists actually do agree .

They had brilliant mathematicians and talented engineers, expert stonemasons and the will to expend massive effort and resources to create such things as the great pyramids. We might not know the minutiae of the processes but it's perfectly within reason to understand how they were made. The reason the modern world has such a hard time getting it's collective heads around the feat is that most people now are unwilling to conceive that much effort and expense being put into the project.
Odd really, considering how much we have managed to do over the millenia, that we still give so little regard to our own achievements. The fact that you are unwilling to understand that people from previous eras were just as capable and resourceful as we are today is proof of the twin follies of ignorance and arrogance. Human nature hasn't really changed in the last 10,000 years, why do you think we are any better now than we were back then?
We live in a world of amazing technologies and understanding, where we can communicate across the globe nigh-instantaneously, send telescopes to space to observe the distant past across unimaginable distances, cure diseases and manipulate the very building blocks of life itself, and yet, that same world contains anti-vaxers, flat earthers and 5G conspiracy theorists who would deny these same great accomplishments. For every great victory the human race achieves there are great idiocies which hold us back. For every great pyramid we errect, there are fools who think it must all have been done by some ancient mystery technology or alien, or some other nonsense.
Get over yourself.
@@DeterminedFCWell if you thought about it for a second you will realise it is feasible. Obviously 1 man cannot cut 10 stones a day that is ludicrous. Estimates have there being 20-30k permanent workers, and also shift workers like farmers for labour, on months they had no work.
Don’t forget all of this is over 25-30 years just for the great pyramid of Giza. I am not sure how old you are but I’m assuming 25-30 years is over half your life. Just think how long that is. Then imagine 20-30,000 people working nearly everyday for all that time. With it possibly being over 100,000 different individuals over its construction.
It’s hard to fathom but that is why so many people discredit it. I think it shows how much humans can really do given a common goal. Unfortunately that is a rare thing now.

Joe’s entire argument here is based on the variable for # of workers being 1. It’s estimated that ~100,000 people worked on the pyramids. That cuts the timeframe down astronomically
Joe just talks for the sake of it, he never really knows what he’s saying
And with his numbers, 3.2 million stones, 10 stones a day, that’d take 100,000 people a whopping 3.2 days 😂 it’d take 10,000 people 32 days, and 1,000 people 320 days. 1,000 people 1 YEAR to build it.
Especially considering those people were mostly slaves who had nothing better to do.

But he’s missing 3 big factors. The size of stone are 10-100 tons not 20-30lbs. They were supposed to use bronze tools which looks like his are not. Not not mention the placement and math when they were assembling the structures. Lastly that’s not granite

its not even about the strength. in todays time it would take 10K men over many years just to build one pyramid, its absolutely diabolical and naive to believe that they were just chucking those stones with their bare hands and some levers. they definitely had some sort of tech that we never knew about. and the pyramids themselves are living proof of this as these were actually a powerhouses and electricity plants rather than burial grounds for their kings and queens. these pyramids were highly conductive and some hieroglyphics depict pyramids with obilisk at the top. these only to be used for harvesting and directing massive amounts of energy. if they truly were in the stone age, then what did they need all this electricity for? they had batteries before batteries were batteries. they had massive conductive material before copper wire ever became a thing. how? and why?

Joe describing The Flood and not even realizing it....
If you aimed at 100 stones a day, that's just over 60 years. All you have to do is look at it long term. You start with 200 stone masons, we know they were available because most of the ancient world was made of stone.
Each stone Mason has two apprentices. After 5 years the 200 stone masons become 600 stone masons each with two apprentices so after 10 years you now have another 1200 stone masons. People who didn't make it as stone masons became labourers or other occupations. It only sounds difficult if you make it difficult. The pyramids were built so stop looking at it like it's impossible. Go look at Petra in Jordan, someone carved that as well.
Or look at Newgrange in Ireland someone built that as well 1500 years before the pyramids. Ireland had no population worth talking about but they managed to drag 100's of tonns of stone 100's of miles to the site!
Edit: should add, Coral Castle, Florida. He build this on his own (and still had a day job) without any of his neighbours noticing him working. Look it up!
"aliens" man....
I do think the pyramids were done in less than 40-50 years because construction started almost immediately once a new pharaoh was crowned. It also needed to be complete before they passed away.
In some cases, they made small pyramids to store the body until the big one was complete. Kind of like on those renovation shows where they put the whole family in an RV while they finish remodeling the house. Lol😂

That dude cutting that sandstone is super talented.
It is possible with 100,000 construction workers (Herodotus as source). Imagine having to make a million stones with different sizes. 1/4 of the workers are cutting and measuring the stones from quarry. 1/4 are shipping to on field. Another 1/4 are demolishing and making necessary changes to geographical area where stones are being placed at. Finally another 1/4 are the ones doing the installation/assembly on field. If there is 90 working days per year for them to have good weather. Therefore, the 27 years x 90 working days is 2430 working days. Which means they are doing 944 stones per working day. 5500 lbs of stone will be the general weight being pushed or moved around. Usually a person is able to pull 60% their weight but most likely they would have used an ox (2.5x of ox weight towing capacity) which can technically pull 7500 lbs. Which means 2 oxes were used to pull 2 stones equally about 11000 lbs. That means 472 trips were taken, don’t know the number of oxes, but most likely they had horses to help as well(1.5x of horse weight towing capacity). Logistically, the cutting, moving, demolition, and installation of stones would have been done all under one contractor. It is crazy that they used 100,000 people for 20 years. To give you a modern feat, the pentagon is 29 acres with 17.5 miles of corridors and used 33,000 workers to build it under 16 months! Which is insane but shows the possibility of knowing logistics and engineering.
I agree with you and there's no doubt the Egyptians were experts in stone masonry, they spent thousands of years working stone. But there's evidence of a specific style of masonry in the core foundations of many structures across the world that is not explained by the official history narrative. For example there's overcuts with a defined radius in the kerf that is not evidence of hand tools. The symmetry in the polished basalt statues. There's flat surfaces in the granite boxes that exceed the tolerance of a machine straight edge, perfect right angles and parallel surfaces polished to within the same tolerance as engine blocks. The scoop marks all over the quarry at unfinished obelisk, the nubs on the stones, the polygonal block walls. This evidence exists all over the world but supposedly built before they could sail across the ocean. The crude, less precise, smaller stone work is always on top of the larger more precise megalithic stones. Academic explanations don't fully explain these anomalies and I think people like Graham Hancock, Harry Dunn and Randall Carlson have valid theories worthy of debate. They may be wrong, but if they're not wrong it would have a very profound impact on how we understand our history on this planet
Each and everyone with all those skills……..,, nah.
Not arguing one way or another but Egypt didnt have horses until about a thousand years later. Even then horses were very small. They were the size of large dogs or small ponies. Judging by models of humans and oxen found in tombs from ancient egypt, oxen were also much smaller back then
They also claim the ancient Egyptians did it without the wheel. The lack of wheels completely changes the numbers on what can be pulled by humans or oxen. Towing capacity is usually calculated with wheels in mind. Without them friction of what you're dragging adds a lot of extra weight
The official narrative of when the pyramids were built is already so far back that we have to really rethink everything we think we know about their world compared to ours
It wasnt even a desert environment they were dragging them through. It was a muddy more tropical environment. The desertification of the Sahara began around the same time the pyramids were built 2500BC when the monsoons started going further south
Honestly I feel like a lot of issues with the official narrative can be fixed if we just admit they had wheels. I know we havent found wheels but that doesnt necessarily mean they were nonexistent. They couldve been reused for other purposes. The lack of wheels for a long time afterwards can also be explained
Those people lived around the time of one of the greatest climatic events in human history and they were in ground zero of it (the drying of the Sahara). During the bronze age collapse Greek society was so thoroughly ravaged that they lost the ability to read and write. Reading and writing comes before the wheel. It's not unusual for such important technology to end up lost. You lose craftsmen due to climatic changes and lose access to as much wood and wheels become harder and harder to come by
It'd be fitting that the secret lost ancient technology is just a wheel

You don't think the winner write history and that some of history may have been burned out of our past because of war and revolutions.
I still remember when I was a kid, and me and my firends carved into stone with sticks and stones, it took time, but it was possible, though we didn't really end up with anything. So when you have tools made for the job and the skill to use them, then obviously you can create great things, and it is ignorant to claim otherwise.
Keep in mind each stone weighed 2.5 tons on average. Moving the stones is one thing but positioning them into place each is another. They would have had to have cranes.
You can build a crane without an engine, then it's just powered by people. If you've ever watched someone repair a gravestone then you can actually see a similar construction to what the Egyptians would have used

I like to think about how if ancient people had technology comparable to modern day, how if society fell people would scrap all the metal and reusable stuff, to make weapons. And if they did industrialize, but there tech was more in line with eco friendly, it would be plenty of time for it to biodegrade. if they had clean energy there wouldn't be a carbon layer. I doubt it, but it's neat. My brother always says if you had your whole life with the task of making a perfect statue, it would be, spread that over generations and it's very achievable.
No one mentioned anything about aliens. Joe said it was likely done by an ancient civilization much older than the Egyptians - who rediscovered or inherited it.
I don't think aliens is necessary the argument, advanced knowledge is, that could be achieved though revelation from a knowledgeable bieng as well along with countless other possibilities.
He has iron instruments. Did they have iron instruments 4-5000 years ago? Why does it have to be an alien narrative? We just don't know how it was built. And he's working limestone. Try doing the same with granite or basalt.

They can’t stand the fact that maybe humans were smarter back then than they are now. You will be surprised what a skilled craftsman can accomplish with his hands.
