Personally, I’m a fan of ideas of Quantized Inertia [1] [2] which proposes that Dark Energy does not exist at all. We’ve been on a wild goose chase after dark energy for 30 years, which so far has proven to be an untestable theory.

TL;DR

Pretty standard explanation of the construction of the great pyramid with the ever expanding ramp to push up the blocks.

(No explanation where did the ramp go, and that volume wise it would have to be bigger than the great pyramid itself)

The explanation for the many chambers in the great pyramid is that Khufu, was changing his mind several times after naming himself son of Ra (God of Sun), and wanted to be buried ever higher as apposed to previously accepted burials underground, so construction workers had to abandon already built chambers and architects had to design new chamber with ever higher elevation.

Pretty weak overall. Nicely composed narrative but has no critique or original ideas.

I highly recommend getting to know the work of Randall Carlson on the subject.

Joe Rogan had him on podcast [1] few times.

Yeah. Only those pyramids are about knee high and last for about a day. :) The great pyramid stood for at least 5000 years.

He would have had even harder time designing the pyramid

Few historical points that we know for certain:

- Cheops lived in 26th century BC. This is Stone Age territory. A time where humans still didn't master metalworks, and understanding of mathematics and written language was very poor.

- Herodotus traveled to Egypt and later made his claim in 5th century BC. This is about 2100 years after the rule of Cheops! To say that his historic account can be deemed as verifiable is a joke.

- Up until 820 AD the pyramid was completely closed off by the granite plates that covered all external walls, and an Arab caliph Al-Mamoun broke most of them and found a way in.

- The architectual complexity of the Great Pyramid is unbelievable. On top of everything that most people know, it also has an underground chambers with an artificial lake (water comes from underground sources) and a really big sarcophagus submerged in the water. The sarcophagus is larger than the walkways leading up to the underground chamber.

- All the consequent pyramids that came after the great pyramid are much smaller and much less sophisticated. We know that Egyptian empire was growing substantially in wealth and power at that time, so why the pyramids are less sophisticated? Shouldn't we see technological progression, not regression in a rich developing society?

What I think is that we have a serious case of Cargo Cult where emperors try to emulate the greatness of the pyramid.

- The Arab historians I mentioned refer to the legend of Enoch.

The idea that pyramid belonged to Cheops comes from Herodotus who travelled to Egypt long after Cheops, and in fact what he wrote down is an urban legend from the local folk, because no historic Egyptian documents could verify who built the great pyramid. There are other much earlier historic accounts about the great pyramid from Arab historians. Who have a very different story about the pyramid.

Not really. Which pyramids are you talking about? What we have are some lukewarm explanations which do not hold up to scientific scrutiny of all the historic sources. If you are talking about the Great Pyramyd of Cheops in Giza then plenty of evidence show that Cheops had nothing to do with building that pyramid. He was a Stone Age monarch at the time when writing and mathematics have not been developed in Egypt. The pyramid has no indication anywhere on it that it belonged to Cheops, one would think that if a guy spent over 20 years and killed over 20,000 slaves building it, then he'd put his name on it. :)

Nothing was cracked really. Still no explanation of who built it and how it was built.

The fact that it was a religious area for many centuries has been known for a long time.

Same can be said about pyramids in Mexico and great pyramid in Egypt, as well as many other sites like Pumapunku, etc.

Ancient mega structures are one of the biggest mysteries of our world.

The future is in algae based proteins. They contain all essential amino acids, naturally anti inflammatory and have no known allergens. The taste profile problem will be solved eventually and algae based chemical compounds as taste and color additives will be omnipresent in our foods in 5-10 years. @sethbannon you should also consider investing in algae based meat alternatives. (I.e. Solazyme / TerraVia)
