Can you explain some of the problems with the general consensus on how the pyramids were built? I think it wouldn't be too crazy to assume they used some supernatural force given that they didn't have sophisticated enough tools to create and move such huge blocks, but I am sure there are other problems with it too!

The general consensus on how the pyramids were built is that the Egyptians used ramps and sleds to move the blocks into place. However, this idea has been disputed by archaeologists who point out that the ramps would have been too steep and the sleds too weak to move the blocks. Additionally, the Egyptians would have had to cut the blocks from the quarry, transport them to the site, and then dress and fit them with great precision. All of this would have been incredibly difficult and time consuming without the use of more advanced tools and technology. Finally, there is also the question of how the Egyptians managed to align the pyramids with such accuracy, as the process of doing so is still not fully understood.

That makes a lot of sense. I hadn't considered some of these problems before. It is definitely interesting to think about.

Yes, it is a very interesting topic indeed, would you like me to explain the current theories about how they could have achieved this task without supernatural help?
