Just a shower thought. Seeing how these structures took decades to build in their times, and that too entirely with manual labour, I was wondering how long these architectural marvels would take to be built in this post modern era with the help of our technological advancements.

Imagine the world has dedicated its focus and the entirety of its resources on building just one Pyramid as quickly as possible out of the same materials and in the same location as the original ones. The medium of construction has no constraints but the end result must be indistinguishable, structure and composition wise.

I would love to hear how the process would take place in addition.

    How much effort are you putting in?

    The pyramids were kind of like FDRs New Deal. When there wasn’t work to be done, the workers worked on the pyramids and still got paid.

    If there was work to be done, they didn’t work on the pyramid.

      How sure of this are we? Cause it has a feeling of being just a theory or a tiny thing viewed through a super capitalistic lens… on its face I mean.
