So you're saying the pyramids are just giant rocks piled on top of each other?

If so, then what was dropping them and how could the intricacies inside the pyramids be possible if they were just dropped on top of each other?

Pyramids = basic engineering shape for a sturdy structure. Wide base, tapered top. A lot of early monumental structures were constructed with that basic concept in mind.

its not the basic shape thats impressive, its the truly gigantic pieces that have tighter tolerances than a tesla.

I don't think people have ever been blown away from the shape of them.

Edit: and it's actually really silly to think about someone who would be.... "Woah! How are those things triangles???" Like what?
