A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Whips, rimmer, massive massive whips.
Actually, this isn't that hard given enough slaves and beasts of burden like camels.
Each stone was 2.5 tons (5000lbs) on average and the average human male can pull 500 lbs easily. That means with decent friction elimination (rolling logs, water, sand etc.) it would only take 10 adult slaves and a horse to move each block.
Peep Show also has that joke - "Slaves, Jeremy" VS "Whips, Rimmer".
But there's a good chance that the answer wasn't slaves, but well paid, hard-drinking work-units, organized along the lines of boat crews, all working together during a public festival and overseen by well trained specialists.
The most interesting part to me is the rope strong enough to pull that kind of weight.
TBF, they had some pretty shitty science in ancient Egypt.
How many kilograms each?
Yes.
I mean, can you make one that big?
I didn’t think so.
I rest my cases
