i'm not saying at all that I know the answer, but eyeballing and cutting is good for a patio, but on a ziggurat or pyramid scale it seems you don't do so much eyeballing or cutting, and more planning how much material and how many slaves you're going to need for how long, and where to put the doors so the passageways will meet up, that sort of thing.
- WalterBright 3y agoI've seen many Mayan structures in Mexico, and they all look like they were eyeballed.
- posterboy 3y agoI'm currently in a brick build house which has a good ten percent slope, because the earth sank, but it hasn't collapsed. I'm pretty sure its not older than a hundred years and I'm amazed it still stands because it sure wasn't designed like this.
- rebolek 3y agoPlease, stop this slave nonsense. Pyramids were built by highly skilled workers, it was prestigious job.
- PawgerZ 3y agoI remember reading about the worker homes and tombs, and I know that skeletal records also showed the workers had much muscular strain. So, it's impossible to deny that there were skilled laborers working on the pyramids, but just because some of the laborers were proven to be skilled and not slaves, doesn't mean slaves weren't used. The scale doesn't seem right to me. I still can't fathom how that much could be done without using slave labor. If I remember correctly, they layed a block like every 6 minutes for 20+ years. Do you know how many tombs of laborers were found, or where I could find more aobut that information? I'm very novice when it comes to Egypt
