My olady brings up a good point…

So, she just dropped something on me right now. Everyone’s tripping on how the slaves stacked up them stones to build the pyramids. And she just said “ don’t you think it would have been easier to pour them blocks in place like a stem wall, and just slide the moulds down to the next one, and just have a bunch of slaves running bucket brigade to the mixer down below”? Holy shit. Mind blown. Your thoughts?

That would have been a great idea if they had cement back then

Since they had cranes to lift the blocks, it stands to reason that they had cement and concrete

Wonder if they got their cranes from @HBCraig

Kinda good point.

Your wife understands construction...I'd give her a pass on the history of cement. Gets bonus points for even knowing the term "stem wall".
That there's a keeper!

 

[welldigger00]

She’s a good one for sure. And as far as when concrete was invented? Who knows. I don’t believe anything “they” say anymore…

Time to buy a concrete truck she’s got a hell of a marketing idea

You guys have a really weird version of foreplay, but who am I to judge? You guys do you!

After 30 years, whatever works, right?

Well looks at that. She’s on to something. And no degree from MIT. Just a Lil red wine…

Just a reminder. That grey stuff that comes out of the big truck is concrete.

Although there was the cement pond at Jed Clampett's place.

Referring to concrete as cement would be the same as saying flour instead of bread. Cement is a product in concrete.

Most historians believe the people that built the pyramid’s were actually skilled compensated tradesman … some might of been slaves

 

[welldigger00]

^^^^^ this. And they new how to shovel mix concrete right out of the bags in a hole in the dirt.
