Lifting Giant Stones - Pyramid Building Tilt-Up Method

Keep It Simple. When building a massive stone structure using low technology, you don't want to waste time making it more complex. Men, levers, a simple but effective method and a good amount of effort is all that's needed.
This stone is around 1/10th the size of the typical stone used in the pyramids, but I think it gives a good representation of how this could be done.

Gravity over strength. Use gravity and weights. It'll be much easier

Great video. I moved a lot of stone lately. You use simple basic tools and got a big job done fairly easily. My stones are blobs not blocks but I can walk or roll them in most cases.

300lb blocks are one thing but 100 ton granite obelisks are entirely different. There are no levers that strong in ancient Egypt or in modern Egypt. The materials beeded still dont exist or someone would have built and moved one to put this debate to rest. Im sure the money is out there for someone to do it.

You maybe COULD “walk” very large long stones. This is apparently what was done on Easter Island.

I was kicked out of prep school for master kaiten

I think that the people of that time had bigger bodies and taller heights than the people of today, so they didn't have much problem with building a pyramid.

Every stonemason knows

Wir dürfen die Zeit nicht vergessen. Wenn ich heute 5 Stunden am Smartphone sitze, habe ich 5 Stunden nichts gemacht. Selbst wenn er pro Stunde nur 1 cm schafft, hat er in 5 Stunden 5 cm gemacht.

Just use small rock under big rock to move need 2 rocks

Show me how you would do it when it's about 3 layers taller! The base is the easy part!!

Now try with a 4000 pounder

Wear protection people. Broke my big toe when I did this last time. :D

It is a Greek method, or rather a Rapa Nui method that was devised to mirror the marvel of the ancient Egyptians - yet - the ancient Egyptians were very cautious not to share this technology with the undeserving. Even the later invaders of Egypt, like the Greeks, would only touch the surface of this knowledge before they burned it all down It's just as the West today would abuse the power of the actual technology - which they will, since they have discovered the truth of acoustic levitation.. They will research it until they can one day also apply it - and it is exactly at that moment that our world will end again.

Try the center teetering method to lift stone vertical. Continue adding mass for each alternate teeter and the stone will rise. Almost like a ratcheting effect. Let the stone do the heavy lifting.

70 ton stone, up 300 feet with this method? I'd have to see it

lol, under much better conditions in ancient Egypt vice your front yard. haha, yeah ok

I enjoy your content. And if we could agree that those people in the past where as smart as we were, we could have a look on the questions which we can't awnser yet.Stone movement and placement seems solavable, but what about the granite? How was it made, shipped, polished, sawed ...... i guess here are the true surprises.

Okay but this explains nothing. Please now get a stone which weighs 80 tons, transport it 500 miles and place it in the King's chamber with 100% precision. remember you have to do it with hand tools.

I'm not saying aliens did this lol but we are missing an ancient technology they used to lift and place. 150kg stone compared to a 80 ton stone are two completely different things.

20 mins. Humm isn't the math for the great pyramid state that one block had to be set every 2 minutes

Wow.. amazing

OMG! Finally i can now sleep soundly knowing who built the pyramids!

I'd like to see how they got wooden leavers, big enough and strong enough to handle the massive weights, that were manuverable themselves

“Give me a lever “long” enough and a Fulcrum on which to place it and I shall move the world“
Is the correct saying here

Building the pyramids was easy as PI it just took time and smarts .

Can you re-do this with 2-5 tones stone pieces?

It’s not necessarily how they did it with more, how the blocks were actually made in the first place how they were cut with such precision with such primitive tools as we are taught

Captain Fulcrum

Got me at the end with better tools my g
Can u elaborate what did they have that was Superior in tool work

The crazy thing is is those mega stones even if moved precisely with the smallest bump could crack or break the stone in 2 it is absolutely mind boggling how anyone could do such a thing

Impressive... but I'm not convinced this is the method that moved and carefully placed 2.5 million stones, weighing anywhere from 2-30 tons each. Especially with the top most stones needing to be lifted upward of 450 feet in the air.

I really hope no one believes this is how the pyramids were built.

So good

The fact we can't do it even with the technology we have today's just proves your small crackhead project wrong 😒

This is a worthwhile video!

Love your point! Please people, get out there and DO experiments!

LOL. 50 ton blocks, 70 feet overhead, 275 feet above the ground, in the great pyramid. I'm gonna need a demonstration

Ok then how did they lift 2.5 tons?

How thick and long were the planks of wood used to build baalbek and sacsayhuaman 😂💪

This is laughable. So this should be able to explain the way the great pyramid was built? 4600 years ago? In the copper age?
Look at the effort you had to put in for just one little block of 160 kg.
Those blocks weighted tons and tons (some were more than 15 tons in weight), they were put up to a height of 150m and some of them came from kilometres away.
Plus, if we have to assume that some elements of Erodotus’s and Diodorus’s testimony are true, based on weak conjecturally-filled explanations, we have no reason not to assume that other elements, such as the 20 years time they allegedly needed for the constuction cited in Diodorus’ text, aren’t as much reliably possible.
If that was the case we should also think that that mind-boggling constuction only took 20 years to be completed.
Whether the so called “workers” of the pyramids were slaves or paid workers I don’t think that’s relevant at all, because the fact remains: to this day, the construction of sites such as the Great Pyramid’s, it’s anything but explainable. We don’t know how those things were made, and these so called demonstrations are, to me, one of the most unfunny and stupid jokes one could be possibly coming up with.
Believing it’s actually possible to use these methods for a building of that kind, for blocks of that size and weights, is utterly ridiculous.
And you even conscientiously did things and manoeuvres you adimit they couldn’t have done in any way (still, for a block of 160kg).
We don’t really understand how heavy a giant stone block tons and tons in weight really is… even if we assume they were able to carry all those blocks at all those different heights, how can we explain the setting of the blocks in their position? At 100 m above the ground? And the chambers? How is this possible, like, really?

love this!!

Just curious does this apply to Baalbek stones ?

Megalithic stones will crush any wooden roller. Theory failed

And no wood remains or traces where found between or beneath the stones were found ?

I can do the same with bricks. Now do it with a block of 800 tonnes.

Yep. And as with Aswan Quarry, the crew waiting back at the quarry is merely waiting 500 miles away. It would take 20 years to get 50 of these blocks from Quarry to giza plateau. Nevermind the time it takes to perfectly cut, carve, shape, sculpt the granite... with nothing but the literally insufficient bronze and/or iron tools.

Also, keep in mind, using this easy flipping method with stones 100 times the mass of that stone all the way up the incredibly long and relatively steep ramp, or whatever other method must have been used to elevate and perfectly place the 2 MILLION-PLUS 50-100 TON stones all around, within, and atop the nearly 500 ft tall pyramid.

Yeah. It would have been oh so simple just as the mere mortal in this video insists. Simply using primitive hand tools, and by no means could they possibly have been using any sort of superadvanced technologies, machines, mechanisms, etc., which have simply been forgotten and thus lost and unknown to the minds and even the imaginations of most modern day history theorists.

Show us the giant using a giant crowbar lifting a giant stone on to the top of the giant Kufu pyramid.

Cant wait to see stand up the ASWAN Obelisk , How come we have never found any HOMER buckets in the ancient ruins ?

Bub….pyramid building huh??? JUST DO IT!!! Be the first one in your state to do it!!! Jesus….why not just rent a backhoe???? Watch dem pinkies!! WOW!!!! CONGRATS!!!
