No, the original weight of the great pyramid was 5 billion kg
As with
Olmec/Mayan stone work and heads
Baalbek stones in Lebanon
Gurung Padang in Indonesia
Nan Madol in the Pacific
easter Island heads
India's Indus Valley, Barabar caves and Kailasa temple in Elora.
Paleolithic Stonehenge in Britain and Türkiye.

the oldest structures are the most advanced, later civilisations were not able to emulate their predecessors. So back to the vases. whatever archaeologists claim, they are unable to explain why if it's so "easy" (which my video demonstrates it isn't) then why weren't later more advanced civilisations unable to either emulate or improve on previous technology.

I could write a book on this subject. take steel for example. what were you taught in school?. I'm 100% sure it was a western invention right, part of the industrial revolution. well, that would be wrong. Steel was first manufactured in villages in tropical southern India, 5,400 years ago. And tamil "wootz" steel was such an advanced alloy it was exported all over the world and became something called Damascus Steel. But the method to create this alloy was lost long ago.

India also had the earliest brick houses and earliest urban drainage systems. technology lost and not used from several thousand years ago. Pretending this never happened doesn't make it false or debunked.

Are you really claiming that 5 billion kilograms is the same as a billion tons?

Just making this crap up? We weren't taught that steel was a modern invention at all. We were well aware of Damascus Steel being used to forge very strong weapons.

While we may not know the exact processes used, the idea of it being the best steel ever made and that we cannot make better steels today is pure nonsense.

Huh! Are you claiming that we have lost the technology to build brick houses and drainage systems?

What levels of insecurity you must have to even make such claims.

I didn't say that. Yes, wootz steel can still be made using modern techniques and understanding of its properties. While the exact methods of the ancient smiths are not completely replicated, scientists and bladesmiths have successfully recreated wootz steel with similar (not exact) characteristics.

My point is advanced technology emerged and was then lost. this happened across the world. And by the way, I am 100% sure you were never taught in school that steel manufacture started in little coastal villages in Southern India.

In India it did till only the last 500 years. Prior to that (and after the IVC) and across India homes were built for functionality using clay/mud and thatching due to the extreme heat. evidence of brick houses, planned cities and urban drainage also emerges in prehistory in southern India as well

But then vanishes from history

Your lack of curiosity doesn't debunk evidence. Google Barabar caves, the design execution in hard stone is highly mathematically precise, yet it doesn't barely get a mention outside of India.

That's true. But I was also never taught that it originated in modern times.

Steel was still considered relatively new compared to iron, copper and bronze.

If we are going to turn this into a "tell someone something they already knew", then here you go:
1) 1+1=2
2) Europe and North America are separated from each other by the Atlantic Ocean
3) Polar bears do not eat penguins
4) Penguins do not eat polar bears
