Pyramids are the easiest structure to build. You stack rocks. Want them to look nice, cut the rocks into bricks.

And all you need is lots of money, lots of labor, and some clever engineers, which are all things the ancient Egyptians had in spades.

It's really not that hard.

Well, it's very hard, it's just not impossible.

[-] slumlordthanatos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Well, yeah, which is why building them took decades.

You don't really even need clever engineers unless you want some kind of internal structure (which the Egyptians did). Otherwise it's just a stack of rocks.

Even isolated mountains have frequently that shape. It's not like some guy came up with this crazy idea and told their engineer-like peers "Hey, hear me out, I have this crazy idea, are you ready? It's this never seen before structure, I call it the pyramid!".

Instruction unclear accidentally calculated the number phi and the diameter of the earth and moon in relation to Eachother.

Believe what you will, ancient ruines are impossible to measure accurately. Its an interesting rabbithole just how far the numbers stretch though.

Its pi’s leas famous cousin is how i understand it.

It uses φ or ϕ as a symbol, you may know it as the golden ratio or as the fibonacci sequence

Its found as a standard all over nature, so the mysticism basically writes itself.

Take that can do attitude to the zoning board and see what happens.
