Even the whole "how did they move all those stones to the pyramid sites, and how did the tip of this Pramod end up all the way over here?!"

Egypt is full of ancient River systems that have long dried up and been covered by sands. They used those to move all the material, but since they're gonna and dried up now, we just scratch our heads and wonder how they got there.

We have also literally found shockingly well preserved sleds that match up with the diagrams depicting when the stones had to be moved over land (drawn by tens to hundreds of people).

More people need to learn that the African Humid Period was a thing.

So the great pyramid took twenty years to build by hand, right.

Amazing.
