You're telling me you don't know the earth is a globe and how to find the cardinal directions?

The average pleb in 8000-1000BCE did not go to public school, anon. Holy shit. They learned their parents' trade and whatever their parents knew. Thats it.

You think you have to go to school to learn how to figure out the cardinal directions? You think the average pleb engineered the pyramids?

The post was about how such info was lost. If it's so easy that anyone can 'discover' the cardinal directions then I guess it was never lost.

And the whole point was the knowledge to build the pyramids and the math encoded into them was lost because the average pleb didnt know it, only a small elite did.

This info was never lost.

It was passed down by the elites through the centuries.

If you were an ancient architect, and wanted to build a really high structure to get closer to the gods, which shape would you choose for your structure? A cube?
