Alchera Posted June 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have heard the claim that pyramids could not be built by modern technology and it always perplexes me. Sureley we could build a pyramid with sufficient funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubai is having a blast building all kinds of cool stuff. HN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HN Slaves arn't cheap these days either I wonder though, are there any structures we have built in the last couple hundred years that can stand the test of time the pyramids have hmmmm I can't think of any except maybe the Hover dam.

+HerNibs Posted June 4, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Well, I hope these survive. Imagine if aliens show up 10,000 years from now and the humans are gone. What are they going to make of some of our leavings? HN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMelsWell Posted June 5, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I've stayed at the Luxor in Vegas a couple of times... looked like a pyramid to me. (not too mention, it has to be one of the noisiest hotels on the strip... sound just ECHOES in there) Can we build a pyramid like the Giza strip pyramids? Without modern tools and heavy equipment? Probably, but why would we want to? Who wants to pay a hundred thousand workers and craftsmen to do that kind of backbreaking work for the next 20 years? Sounds like a waste of money. Could we do it in a few years with modern tools? I'd wager well that we could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Danger Posted June 5, 2009 #8 Share Posted June 5, 2009 we can build pyramids, but if its the ones like the egyptian pyramids then it will take a while and cost alot to build. and to find the suitable materials for it. so its a yes but no one will be likely to build another.

aquatus1 Posted June 5, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have heard the claim that pyramids could not be built by modern technology and it always perplexes me. Sureley we could build a pyramid with sufficient funding. We surely could. In fact, here's a fellow who was specifically asked to estimate such a project. It makes for an interesting read.
