This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

From britishmuseum.org:
From Wikipedia:
Each stone weights around 25 tons and I found this helicopter that can carry 33 tons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_CH-53E_Super_Stallion#Specifications_(CH-53E). So we could easily build this today. Probably wouldn't take long at all.
What? First i am not arguing that we could not do it. Second stonehenge and the great pyramid are completely different levels of complexity. Third, i know machinery can lift heavy things, the point is even with machines its difficult to do this stuff. How'd they get by with zero machines? In the timeframe mentioned above? For what purpose
This fragment explains how they could have done it:
My point was that it's not difficult with modern machines at all. But it can also be done with the methods described above. Especially if you work on it for 1500 years.
Building a heli is easy? Also rolling 30 tons for the fun of it is not something people usually do
Maybe they did it to summon the aliens. Or maybe for the same reason we build expensive churches. Like this one that we have been building for 142 years and it's still unfinished: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia
