Hey everyone,
I just made a video about the Great Pyramid of Giza — and the deeper I dug into the topic, the more it got me thinking.
Officially it’s said the pyramid was built in only 20 years. That means:
2.3 million stone blocks, each on average 2.5 tons —
=> one block every 4.5 minutes, 24/7, without breaks.
Just that is already hard to imagine.
But then there’s something that completely throws me off:
The Star Shafts (or Air Shafts) — four extremely narrow, diagonal shafts, two from the King’s Chamber, two from the Queen’s Chamber. These things are so precisely cut into the massive stone that they sometimes run for many meters at perfect angles. And all of that while thousands of ton blocks were being moved around during construction?

Modern robots have found doors (the so-called Gantenbrink Doors), smooth interior walls, exact alignments with stars or certain directions … and yet nobody really knows why these shafts exist or how they were calculated so precisely into the build.
So here’s my question to you:
How could all of this have been built in only 20 years?
Was it really just organization, extraordinary know-how and endless manpower?
Did the ancient Egyptians use techniques we no longer know?
Or does it all point to ritual, astronomical, or symbolic reasons that would justify the enormous effort?
I’m curious how you see it — especially those who know a lot about history, construction, or archaeological mysteries.
How was it possible?

Short answer? We will never know
It couldnt.
But we still hold on to the „20 year Build Theory“, because Else the whole Theory would Break apart. And Right now, it’s still the Best we got. Thats why the Great Pyramid is still such a big Mystery and interesting topic.
Tldr: if we Remove the 20 year part, our current theory would not fit anymore in the timeframe
Ancient Aliens, always Ancient Aliens.
> one block every 4.5 minutes
Assuming multiple blocks weren’t placed at the same time.
There’s a lot we don’t know about the construction, including how long it took. Looking at blocks / minute probably doesn’t reflect the reality of that though given for most of the pyramid many blocks were probably moved and fit at the same time.
It took around 12,000 people 6 years to build a building *half a fucking mile tall* using pretty complicated building techniques.
It is *absolutely* reasonable that a seasonal workforce of 10,000-20,000 people plus a year-round work face of between 7,000-10,000 could build a pyramid *(which is one of the strongest shapes in nature)* out of local sandstone in 20-30 years. The Egyptians had access to an *incredible* amount of seasonal manpower during the flood season on the Nile and during the growing season, and Pharaoh’s of the Old Kingdom leveraged this manpower to build burial monuments like the pyramids.
To be clear there is some awesome engineering in the pyramids on the Giza Necropolis, but we *literally* have a record of the advancements the Egyptians made in pyramid-building over time through the remnants of the pyramids they built. The first true Egyptian pyramid was the Pyramid of Djoser, and five others were constructed between it and the Great Pyramid that show how their building techniques and methods changed *(with the most dramatic being the Bent Pyramid, which likely has its “bent” shape due to the architects not realizing that the cladding would slip-off the initial steep angle and their solution being creating a steeper angle part-way up to compensate for this)*.
It’s a literal, physical showcase of about 100 years of pyramid building experience… And yet you people find it impossible somehow. There is no reason to doubt the scientific consensus that the Great Pyramid took around 20-30 years to build, unless of course you think real human history isn’t “sexy” or “exciting” enough and need to interject some conspiracy-bullshit to make you care. Literally all of the evidence supports the consensus-supported conclusion, and anyone who says otherwise is either a science-denier or a grifter trying to milk you for cash.
