For one, corundum is the second hardest material on earth, second to diamond. And the number of marble slabs used to build the pyramid (2.5 million slabs make pyramid at Giza in all), doesn't seem possible for human achievement. I did the math. The amount of workers it would take to create all of them doesn't add up. Lastly, it is true that Ramses chiseled his name in on all of them but that doesn't mean he commissioned them. More significantly, you could tell someone chiseled his name abruptly. It looks like graffiti. If I go to Paris today and write my name on it in a thousand years they will say I built the Eiffel Tower. When the Greeks went to Egypt the Egyptians themselves admitted that they didn't build the pyramids, the gods did. The Greeks had no quarrels admitting the imperfection of their statutes, they weren't perfect. When you look at a Greek statue it looks beautiful, but you can tell it was hand-made. Even if you're not thinking about it, you are subconsciously reminded that this is only a human achievement. Not so much with Eyptgian statutes. They're perfectly symmetrical. Even today we could not make the statues that the Egyptians made. It's amazing. Either our understanding of Egyptian history is flawed or something is going on because I think there’s a lot of evidence to support my theory, which makes sense.

Theweakeredge 02.13.2021 04:20PM Con #2 Resolution: The Egyptians did not build the Pyramids (Final) Position: ConOpening Statement:Thank you for the debate Turk,This debate will certainly be interesting, considering the highly interpretable nature of history; however, that isn’t to say that it will be hard to support my position. You, as in the audience and my opponent. Will find that the evidence that the Egyptians built the pyramids is overwhelming. As my opponent has failed to provide definitions of his terms I will provide ones for the debate moving forward. The Pyramids - “a group of ancient pyramid-shaped structures built in Egypt as tombs... for the Pharaohs,” [1]Egyptians - “belonging to or relating to Egypt or its people:” [2]Build - “to make something by putting bricks or other materials together:” [3]Furthermore, as Pro is rather ambiguous with his resolution, I will interpret it using our new definitions.Interpretation of the Resolution:“The people of Egypt did not make pyramid structures built in Egypt as tombs by putting materials together.” As anyone can see by now, the literal definition of pyramids asserts that the Egyptians built them, to say that Pro has a massive burden is understating it.
