4,600 years ago, the ancient Egyptians constructed majestic pyramids, even though they did not possess the technology of wheels. This makes no sense wse.

absolutely makes no sense
similar structures are all over the place everywhere on earth
Some archaeologist even believe it's older than 8000
Graham Hancock hack some very interesting ideas on this
I watched that, he raised some very legitimate questions.
Not only in Egypt, the Mayans, the Incas also built large buildings and had an incredibly accurate time measurement system β±οΈ for their time.
I think they had the wheel and lots of sophisticated tech.
Even with wheels, it will be nearly impossible; the terrain is all sand and uneven. There is definitely something we don't know.
While it was truly a marvel of technology at the time. It's not an unachievable task. One major discovery helps illuminate the whole situation and that is, that the Nile had deltas very close to the pyramids back then. (a couple kms iirc)
Also while they may not have stone wheels, they certainly did know that you can shove logs under the stone and move it on the logs, which kinda serve like wheels, just not attached to the moving object.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

What if I were to tell you - the dating/age of those structures is off by an order of magnitude or more, and the civilization that we assume may have built them only used (and possibly defaced) them.
The earlier civilizations were more technologically advanced than us, but also likely didn't originate here. We likely didn't originate here either, although we were genetically adapted to this planet's environment.
We are just getting a glimpse of some ruins of civilizations that have been largely erased from this planet, whether by time, catastrophe, or design.
And the temporal bits? By making material change to the mass or composition of the planet, you will make significant changes to its orbit, which changes the length of its year. Also its rotation would likely be different, meaning its length of day changes. When that solar cycle changes, the way things oxidize and age changes.
Our dating systems assume rates of decay based on current conditions, and I have no confidence those conditions remained the same, even 10k years ago.
It is just more hubris, assuming we are the only intelligent species not only in space, but in time. We're making the same mistakes of heliocentrism when it comes to the mechanics of time, and I haven't even opened up the box of quantum mechanics yet.
Also, reality (fabric of space/time) isn't real. It is simply how WE have evolved to experience reality. This isn't really matrix shit, much simpler and more fundamental than that.
