There's no way that's actually Neil deGrasse Tyson unless he had a mental break sometime in the past couple years. That said, they're not wrong.
There's no way we'd build something like that nowadays, but that's not due to a lack of technology; it's because we love to sacrifice quality for money, and you need quality for a structure like that to stand for such a long time.
It's not him, it's a Facebook group and the person who posted it is in grey.
Yea, its not NDT, its a page named NDT
A building with nearly no internal space is basically useless. We have and do build things of similar shape (Luxor in LV, and others ) that are actually usable on the inside.
A large part of the lack of longevity in our current buildings is due to reliance on steel, which is prone to corrosion unless constantly maintained. And it's hard to maintain steel rebar that's embedded in concrete without breaking everything and rebuilding it.
It's essentially a trade-off - steel enables structures to be built in ways that are utterly impossible without it, but at the cost of ultimate longevity.
Has nothing to do with quality, but with the fact this is near monolithic pyramid (it not empty inside as most buildings are today). I think the garbage piles we create today will also stand the test of times for the same reason. That, plus that lander on the moon.
Oh, it's not just the lander; every single trip up there left a fuckton of trash, human waste, and not nearly enough Trump.
Looks like they named the page that in order to get people to think it’s him saying it.
The mention of 'laylines' is enough of a clue by itself; and the 'lining up with the stars' is pure unadulterated Graham Hancock / atlantis grifter bullshit.
1/4 inch off from lining up with the stars... spooky.
You'd think if it was made by hyper technologically advanced aliens, they would be able to measure it on the nanometre.
Also a lie. The great pyramids do not in fact line up with any stars, but they do line with the bedrock underneath
There are infinite stars in every direction. Everything lines up with a star if you track it far enough. 🤷🏻♂️
