The never ending question, the Giza pyramids

Not if one believes they all used leverage and sledging as the means of building these structures. Otherwise, carry on with make believe theories.

The larger stones were most likely transported long distances on boats of of some sort. However there is a site in South America where massive granite blocks were quarried off one mountain, somehow brought down intact, and transported up another mountain. Then fit precisely together to form a wall structure. For what purpose is unknown, but it was obviously an incredible engineering feat.

Just observing nature and how rocks tumble/slide down mountainsides during rainforest rainstorms would have given them the idea to perhaps just slide them down - in a controlled manner - perhaps with wet mud to start, then drier materials to slow it down before reaching the bottom (?)

I see your thinking but first they would have to clear a path in rocky extremely steep terrain, a huge undertaking in itself. Or build a ramp/slide to get them down, another massive undertaking. Non of which there is any evidence of. Then we have the matter of getting them UP the other mountain. It boggles the mind it really does.

There are legends on literally every continent that say this is exactly how they did it. Just because you can't wrap your head around it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. As Graham Hancock says 'We are a species with amnesia.' Not sure why it's so hard to understand that the Watcher's and the Nephelim, had technology that we simply can't comprehend.

How do we know they had to get boulders up and didn't just use all the boulders at the top and slide them down? The rocky terrain would suggest massive amounts of rocks/boulders, would it not?

If so, their technology was pretty damn basic - using stones and boulders.

What other cultures do you speak of going back 40,000 years in the Nile Valley? I would like to learn more about these?

  • Tools made from animal bones, hematite, and other stones
    
• Neolithic, from 11th millennium BC

Are you referring to Ollantaytambo? I was there recently. Here is photograph of the quarry from the unfinished sun temple https://i.imgur.com/W2eD1HB.jpg. I walked the route, mostly down hill to the river then crossing that then up a hill. Modern construction disrupts the path after the river. Hard work but the ground is mainly rock so the Inca method of dragging rocks without sled would have worked

But we do have archaeology and those folks and their alleged technology don't show up anywhere. Whereas the real technology shows up all over the place. "Amnesia", no we only usually remember remember stuff that is important. I'm pretty sure you don't know your 1,000 direct line mother's name was? Nor even the 100th, maybe the 10th do you have amnesia? I can track family names back to 1684 but after that nothing.

IIRC from one of my books, one argument against the manual rope dragging all of these multi hundreds of ton blocks uphill to the site at Ollyontetombo sic is that the turns are too sharp and the cliff too steep too allow enough people with ropes enough space to even stand and work there, let alone have the force to drag them up a mountain.    The people wouldn't fit. 
Furthermore the friction involved would have left markings on the stones which we do not see.
