>You know what's even easier? Not building megastructures out of hundreds of tons of rock
tell that to shizo on an ego trip who believes he's son of god because of lsd precursor in his bread

That lsd precursor must be some real adderal shit to let these cavemen build mathematically exact structures out of perfectly machined blocks

Yknow, having a lot of free time and hands, as well as the belief that building some fuckoff huge monument will convince some deity to allow your crops to grow well enough to survive is a pretty good motivator. Even aside from that, civs have always built unnecessary shit to show other civs their dick is bigger.

No I don't know, and you clearly don't either. Most of the stonework of Egypt can't be replicated, not even theoretically. Mayan tools were even more inferior than Egyptian bronze. It doesn't matter how many fucking people or how much time you give them, they could not have built this. They would still be sand lapping their first granite block today. In reality, they were turning these things out with such speed they were even fucking up cuts.

Except we know how did they carve their stuff, including use of water to achieve nearly perfect smooth surfaces on right trapeze prisms used as outermost layer of stone.

Except that doesn't actually work. It takes weeks per cut. There's too many blocks, by a wide margin, in too little time for that to actually have been the method.

Also you wouldn't get miscuts this deep.

Even if you handwave the less than a credit card perfection of the interlocking of these blocks, how do you go for like 4 days working day and night to painstakingly grind away at a slab and never once realize you're 3 inches too far to the right?
