      It wasn’t man made. Also the Sphinx and pyramids were actually made in 10,500 BC….not 2500 BC. The aliens who created these structures made them to point directly overhead the 3 stars of Orion’s belt (one apex per star) as that’s how they lined up back in 10,500 BC under the night sky.

      @@bentonrp most of the history on the pyramids is inaccurate, the pyramids were built well before the 4500 years that we believe and the sphinx is even OLDER. The water erosion on the sphinx points as far back as 11,500 years ago! No one really knows so take my claims with a grain of salt, as you should with any information regarding the pyramids. We’re not able to carbon date the pyramids so any “factual” time stamped on the pyramids is very inaccurate.

      It's possible that the bedrock they built it from already had the water erosion from that era upon it, and the original brick cladding explains why the structural layer was always built rough. But who knows.

    As a 24 years old Egyptian I had the chance to see these legendary structures in person for the first time in my life a month ago and I must say the actual sight of the Pyramids gives a shivering and goosebumps to the whole body. I may as well go far as to claim it as a horrifying sight, to gaze upon this massive beast of a structure and wonder for moments how they did it 4500 years ago. Although this video is the best documentary I've ever seen about the Pyramids but I assure all of you reading my comment that the actual experience is far better and breathtaking. I only regret that I hadn't visited the Pyramids sooner, taking in consideration that I spent my life living about 30 km next to the sight 😅

    This is easily the best use of Bolero as supporting music to a non-music topic I've ever seen. Bolero parallels the pyramids in many ways: the sheer length/size, its additive nature gradually increasing in dynamics and in instrumentation, the way in which the piece and the pyramids take a long time to build, the relentless repetition of the musical figures and phrases evoking the millions of stone blocks. And then there's the character of the piece - ceremonial, stately and full of pomp, the melodies and harmonies familiar sounding but somehow also foreign and exotic. What an outstanding idea.

      I agree with the sentiments written here about the choice of Bolero. I would like to share a similar vision about how it might be heard. Many years ago, I expressed to others that Bolero seemed to me to be the music that might accompany a Roman legion as it marched toward Rome after a victorious battle, with children and citizens lining the dusty roads in awe of the procession as it approached, passed, and faded into the distance ahead. As the music reaches its peak, the Centurions pass through a huge stone gate and perhaps an arch and onward toward Rome and their rewards.
      Of course, it’s not the same as the pyramids, but still very grand.

The pyramids were a waste of human life based on a huge lie that still ruins human happiness to this day. There is no god, no afterlife, and tens of thousands of people were worked to death - research proves that pyramid workers had major back issues and arthritis - to promote a delusion. Find an ancient society of atheists and that will be a true inspiration.
