There's no way that's actually Neil deGrasse Tyson unless he had a mental break sometime in the past couple years. That said, they're not wrong.
There's no way we'd build something like that nowadays, but that's not due to a lack of technology; it's because we love to sacrifice quality for money, and you need quality for a structure like that to stand for such a long time.
It's not him, it's a Facebook group and the person who posted it is in grey.
Yea, its not NDT, its a page named NDT
A building with nearly no internal space is basically useless. We have and do build things of similar shape (Luxor in LV, and others ) that are actually usable on the inside.
A large part of the lack of longevity in our current buildings is due to reliance on steel, which is prone to corrosion unless constantly maintained. And it's hard to maintain steel rebar that's embedded in concrete without breaking everything and rebuilding it.
It's essentially a trade-off - steel enables structures to be built in ways that are utterly impossible without it, but at the cost of ultimate longevity.
Has nothing to do with quality, but with the fact this is near monolithic pyramid (it not empty inside as most buildings are today). I think the garbage piles we create today will also stand the test of times for the same reason. That, plus that lander on the moon.
Oh, it's not just the lander; every single trip up there left a fuckton of trash, human waste, and not nearly enough Trump.
Looks like they named the page that in order to get people to think it’s him saying it.
The mention of 'laylines' is enough of a clue by itself; and the 'lining up with the stars' is pure unadulterated Graham Hancock / atlantis grifter bullshit.
1/4 inch off from lining up with the stars... spooky.
You'd think if it was made by hyper technologically advanced aliens, they would be able to measure it on the nanometre.
Also a lie. The great pyramids do not in fact line up with any stars, but they do line with the bedrock underneath
There are infinite stars in every direction. Everything lines up with a star if you track it far enough. 🤷🏻♂️
Why people keep thinking the modern engineering can't build pyramid like they used to when we have a 800m building straight up without the need of spreading the base to help with the balance? We could build one with the inside hollow if we wanted, it just have to answer the question of: why do we need another pyramid?
Brass pro shop is run by ancient Egyptian mummies confirmed.
This one is build by Alienz.
It was obviously built by gamers, hence the rgb lighting.
Im hoping that someday a n-illionaire will decide to make a burial pyramid to outlast the ancients and build it to a spec that money has absolutely no meaning. Honestly outside of man-hours what really is the limiting factor besides money?
I was thinking about Bender and that episode when I made my comment thank you
Township permits.
I feel like money can solve that problem in at least one desirable location.
Never had to deal with the council then I see. Lucky.
Gonna need a variance
Not an engineer but I think the scale might be the limiting factor, other than that, natural disaster, soil condition, and location perhaps
Money solves all of that.
If anyone wants to do this, and needs an architect hit me up. I have some good ideas.
Nigga that shit ain't coincidence! It's on purpose except for the ley lines shit you just made up!
Charge your phone.
There is some evidence to suggest the great pyramid, if not all 3, have rubble from making the blocks filling the spaces that are unseen and not structural. That would simplify and speed up it's construction considerably. Rubble has been observed in at least one location behind the inner structure. Egypt is not a fan of people drilling into their landmark, so any degree of confirmation is long away.
Quick, somebody buy an NFT of this and yank it out of circulation, before word gets out and by then it'll be too late!
Congratulations on the top non-sovcit post in this community!
