It's too bad we don't build this kind of thing any more. Imagine what kind of pyramid we could build with modern technology!

- foobarian 2y agoWhat I would like to figure out is what building a pyramid would look like today, with modern tools, but with similar structure and materials. I.e. stone blocks about 1x2x1 meters in size. Presumably quarrying and transportation happens with machinery, placement could happen with cranes, etc. What kind of size could be achieved and at what cost?
