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.

[-] Kalkaline@lemmy.zip 41 points 10 months ago

It's not him, it's a Facebook group and the person who posted it is in grey.

[-] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Yea, its not NDT, its a page named NDT

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Oh, it's not just the lander; every single trip up there left a fuckton of trash, human waste, and not nearly enough Trump.

[-] snowe@programming.dev 11 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Arcane_Trixster@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

1/4 inch off from lining up with the stars... spooky.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

You'd think if it was made by hyper technologically advanced aliens, they would be able to measure it on the nanometre.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Also a lie. The great pyramids do not in fact line up with any stars, but they do line with the bedrock underneath

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

There are infinite stars in every direction. Everything lines up with a star if you track it far enough. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why people keep thinking the modern engineering can't build pyramid like they used to when we have a 800m building straight up without the need of spreading the base to help with the balance? We could build one with the inside hollow if we wanted, it just have to answer the question of: why do we need another pyramid?

[-] baggins@lemmy.ca 78 points 10 months ago

Bass pro shop pyramid

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 19 points 10 months ago

Brass pro shop is run by ancient Egyptian mummies confirmed.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 14 points 10 months ago

This one is build by Alienz.

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

It was obviously built by gamers, hence the rgb lighting.

[-] supernicepojo@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Im hoping that someday a n-illionaire will decide to make a burial pyramid to outlast the ancients and build it to a spec that money has absolutely no meaning. Honestly outside of man-hours what really is the limiting factor besides money?

[-] 20inmyhead@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months ago

[-] supernicepojo@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I was thinking about Bender and that episode when I made my comment thank you

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

Township permits.

[-] supernicepojo@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I feel like money can solve that problem in at least one desirable location.

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Never had to deal with the council then I see. Lucky.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Gonna need a variance

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 2 points 10 months ago

Not an engineer but I think the scale might be the limiting factor, other than that, natural disaster, soil condition, and location perhaps

[-] TheIllustrativeMan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Money solves all of that.

If anyone wants to do this, and needs an architect hit me up. I have some good ideas.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

Nigga that shit ain't coincidence! It's on purpose except for the ley lines shit you just made up!

[-] dog_@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Charge your phone.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

There is some evidence to suggest the great pyramid, if not all 3, have rubble from making the blocks filling the spaces that are unseen and not structural. That would simplify and speed up it's construction considerably. Rubble has been observed in at least one location behind the inner structure. Egypt is not a fan of people drilling into their landmark, so any degree of confirmation is long away.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Quick, somebody buy an NFT of this and yank it out of circulation, before word gets out and by then it'll be too late!

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 5 points 10 months ago

Congratulations on the top non-sovcit post in this community!
