    This photo is a fake. I have calculated the math here. There are around 18 men lifting a block here. Each block in Giza pyramid weigh around 2.5 tonnes. An average man can lift around 50 KGS. When you put in the numbers, 18 men can lift only 900 KGS. So obvious fakery.

      Actually, 2500/18 is only 139kg. That’s a lot, but it’s less than what some people do today

      edit for those taking this serious: that block is way heavier than 2.5 tonne. Sandstone has a density of about 2.323 tonne/m3. This block looks about 8 meters long, so 8x8x8x2.323=1.187 kilotonnes

      Kids today are lazy, back 60 years ago we had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways and come home and milk the cows. Why we could easily lift that thing with only four people.

      Only those who could lift more than average survived for the photo, obviously.
