Egypt pyramids: Scientists may have solved mystery behind construction
Egypt pyramids: Scientists may have solved mystery behind construction
Scientists say the ancient wonders are likely to have been built along a now-dried up branch of the River Nile.
Believe it or not, no aliens were likely involved! Just some very smart humans and a massive amount of labor.
You're viewing a single thread.
Unrelated, but it would be a very cool project to restore the pyramids to the white gold tipped triangles that they used to be.
Egypt will never allow it. They want their cashcow to be in status quo forever so they can milk them dry. They're not even allowing research into other, currently unknown chambers (which were found to be there, just never opened)
They tried to restore the Pyramid of Menkaure by adding granite stones to the exterior, but they stopped because of social media pushback.
They'd be better off building a brand new one anyway. With an observation deck, but you have to climb like 5 thousand stairs to get to it.
Yeah, an upgraded cash cow is still a cash cow, so that's not the problem.
dude that was like three days ago lol.
I wrote it because it was relevant to the discussion.
Source? I'm not doubting you. I'm just surprised that the government would limit research, probably for political reasons.
They banned destrucive research for new rooms, because some researcher decade ago, enthusiastically drilled a bunch of holes to nowhere in order to do find them.
They still allowed the non destructive muon imaging a few year ago that heavily hinted to an unfound room.
But they won't allow opening it, so yah.
I guess we'll just have to build new ones!
it could be kind of disrespectful towards the culture that built them. I dont think we can restore them in such a way it respects the beliefs and culture of those who built them, so best thing to do would be to make sure they dont decay further. Also, restoring them just so tourists can have something to gawk at would be a kin to showing middle finger to those who built and revered them. And i doubt anyone would be interested in doing anything without monetary gain from it.
