| Jan 28, 2016 at 8:26 | comment | added | Nahshon paz | You know, @OldBunny2800, my argument is that we could have had super-tech in the past, without aliens. So maybe a human engineer from Atlantis could aggravate Mr. Pharaoh further ("You should really use an anti-gravity generator, they're all the heat nowadays").. | |

| Jan 25, 2016 at 14:20 | comment | added | Nahshon paz | Awesome, @Kolaru.The ancient Greeks were fine with athletes consuming herbs and mushrooms (and testicles) to enhance performance, so I recon that the Egyptians could have had that knowledge, but Asterix's potion beats all that to the ground. I don't suppose you know the ingredients? | |

| Jan 24, 2016 at 22:23 | comment | added | Thucydides | I was talking about using modern tech to cut, move and stack multi ton stone blocks, the way most people believe Pyramids were built. YMMV | |
| Jan 24, 2016 at 15:04 | comment | added | Nahshon paz | @Thucydides, modern pyramid designers estimate that the ancient ones are built from stone blocks, I was thrilled to see the theory about limestone concrete creating look-alike blocks. There's even an explanation regrading why they wanted it to look like stone. I estimate that building a concrete pyramid today wouldn't be such a big deal as opposed to the 5 billion dollar project estimation for a stone blocks pryramid. | |

| Jan 24, 2016 at 14:24 | comment | added | Thucydides | This should be interesting. It is considered very difficult to build a pyramid today using modern machinery and techniques... | |
| Jan 24, 2016 at 13:34 | comment | added | Nahshon paz | Thanks Ville Niemi, edited the question to indicate the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. As for materials, as King-Ink suggested - lime stone concrete-like substance. It's a new edit, please take a look. | |

| Jan 24, 2016 at 11:58 | comment | added | Ville Niemi | You really should indicate the desired size of the pyramid. You probably mean one on the scale of the great pyramids but it is not said. Building a pyramid two feet high to show the annoying alien would be fun. Likewise no mention is made about the material, American civilizations used packed earth I think and the Babylonians used mud bricks, either would simplify matters immensely over the stone blocks the Egyptians used. | |
