Of the seven wonders of antiquity, only one has come down to us - the Egyptian pyramids. The symbol of eternity. Where did they come from? Who built them and why?
At the beginning the question was: "How were the pyramids built." There is such a science - history, according to this science it turned out that the pyramids were built by a hundred thousand slaves, laying blocks carved in the quarries of cyclopean sizes, while adjusting them with amazing accuracy. Historians were told all this by the "father of history" Herodotus. And historians could not not believe Herodotus - then the whole story will come out sideways.
Well, the slaves built, and God bless him. But then engineers, builders of all sorts began to think: well, guys whose kings had carts like the one that found in the grave of one of them - Tutankhamun, cannot put stones weighing from 100 to 1000 tons into a pyramid of one and a half hundred tons in no matter how reasonable time meters high. Well, even if you crack it, it won't work.
Then the question arose: Who did build the pyramids?
It comes to mind that it was built by the inhabitants of Atlantis or their descendants. Or aliens.
The version with aliens, gods and other devilry is so winning and exciting, because if you approach it sensibly, you can cut down not sickly dough by breeding suckers.
And now the expedition is being equipped, films are being made, books are leaving in years.
Here is a sample of similar babloproductive products.

For example, they say in the film:
“In order to deliver a block weighing one hundred tons from the quarry to the base of the monument to Marshal Zhukov, the help of a tank division was required, and the colossi of Memnon weigh seven to eight times more, which exceeds the capabilities of the most powerful modern cranes, but the blocks had to be not only delivered, but somehow make statues out of them, from quartzite, one of the hardest materials on Earth, i.e. it was necessary to use tools of an even harder and more durable material.
The weight of this titanium is 1000 tons, and it is made in such a way that any modern sculptor will envy.
We expected that in Egypt we will meet the facts of the existence of an ancient advanced civilization long before the pharaohs, but we did not expect that there will be so many of them, literally at every step. I was surprised by something else: how, while studying Egypt, not to notice, or pretend that you do not notice the presence of these facts"
But we are not surprised why the authors of the film, reproaching those who study Egypt, for the fact that at the sight of facts that are literally at every step, they themselves immediately close their eyes.
Here is the famous head of Nefertiti, made of that very superhard quartzite, for some reason did not attract our critics.
Here, during photography, the head is not illuminated the way it is illuminated when shooting for catalogs and brochures, as a result, the casting seam is clearly visible along the axis of symmetry of the sculpture! Those. our sculptor, who should be the envy of any modern, made only a model, most likely from soft wax - so why should we be envious ?! And then the artisans' job is to make split forms and put production on stream.
A fragment of a stone block of the Cheops pyramid, taken from a height of fifty meters, from the outer masonry of the pyramid. It is the chip at the top corner of the block. The maximum size of a wreck is about 6.5 centimeters.
As you can see from the photo, the block surface is covered with a fine mesh. Close inspection reveals that this is the mark of the mat that was applied to the inner surface of the box formwork. It is clearly seen that the mat was folded at right angles along the edge of the block. And at a short distance from the edge of the block, another mat was laid on it with an overlap. It can be seen that there is a fringe along the edge of the second mat. There are no fibers along the edge, they fell out. As is usually the case on the raw edge of the woven fabric.
The upper surface of the block, from which this fragment broke off, was uneven and bumpy. This can be clearly seen from the wreck itself. Although part of the upper surface of the wreck was cut down for chemical analysis, the rest had a pristine, bumpy appearance. It should be so if it is concrete.
According to an eyewitness who personally split this fragment from the block of the Cheops pyramid, traces of the formwork were visible on all blocks in this place of the pyramid, i.e. at an altitude of 50 m and above. At the bottom, they were either specially cleaved or sanded, but above, they are well preserved.
And again, our critics, who climbed the pyramid from top to bottom, from inside and outside, again did not notice anything at close range!
They also did not notice scientific publications that the samples of spalls from the blocks of the pyramids were visited under an electron microscope:
After scanning with an electron microscope and other studies, some conclusions began to emerge … For example, that the substance that binds limestone in the blocks was silicon dioxide in an amorphous form, which practically does not occur in nature.
This electron microscope image shows amorphous silicon, highlighted in red, cementing the "black" limestone …
A stone stele made of "Egyptian" concrete with embossed hieroglyphs.
The stele looks just as indistinguishable from a stone one and baffled scientists: how could hieroglyphs be so skillfully carved. Under a magnifying glass, the striking effect of such a "carving" becomes even more shocking. It turns out that the "chisel" walked in the stone so calmly and confidently that it "did not tremble." Moreover, encountering a particularly solid impregnation on its way, the "cutter" did not go slightly to the side, as one would expect, but continued to walk straight. In this case, the blotch is always intact. This circumstance shocked the first Europeans who arrived in Egypt with Napoleon. They were forced to admit that the inscriptions were made in some mysterious way unknown to science. Note, by the way, that ancient Egypt is literally overflowing with similar inscriptions, applied to hard rocks.
The film also talks about the sarcophagi in the Valley of the Kings. Again, the same veal delight and admiration for "gods" and "aliens". Indeed, there is something to admire, if we assume that the sarcophagi were cut out of solid stone blocks: blocks of hundreds of tons, the "gods" were obviously delivered by air, because a narrow passage cut through the rocks leads to the valley located among the mountains, and no large stones can be dragged along it, and the local mountains are made of completely different stone, different from the material of sarcophagi …
PS The secret of Egyptian concrete was solved by Joseph (Joseph) Davidovich, who is a famous chemist, an expert in the field of low-temperature synthesis of minerals. In 1972, he founded the private research company CORDI in France and in 1979 the Geopolymer Institute. He founded a new branch of applied chemistry called geopolymerization. As a result of geopolymerization, concrete is created that is practically indistinguishable from some natural stones. The components needed to create geopolymer concrete were readily available to the ancient Egyptians …
