Super impressive transition to the new studio! You can barely tell a difference, but all that extra space gives you plenty of room for fun destruction clips ๐ (Bonus points for Alien Conquest nostalgia)
Riley basically built Lego in the most tedious ways. Respect ๐ฏ
That thing makes an awesome wall decoration๐ฅ
Pyramids are not made out of granit (only the beams of the inner chambers are), most stones are limestone, much less dense. Those limestones were taken from nearby quarries. So only a few stone would be shipped on the river from Assouan. Egyptians didn't have pulleys but you demonstrated how modern elevators work... The lever is on the cranes they used, a crane with a pincer that gets tighter, the heavier the load it carries... Also Pyramids are built on a primary compressed earth mutt so they are not entirely made out of stone. That mutt can have ramps on itsself that are hidden by the Pyramid's stone covering, except on corners when they needed to turn the stones with a lever and a rotating plate (not unlike locomotives in a trainyard) A system of water locks and counter weigths could also work, especially with the great gallery for the counterweight in question... People tend to not understand how buildings are built, architects should be given the priviledge to inform archeologists that building process use parts of the building for the process and then changes use afterwards, architectural choice can be driven by the building method more than the aesthetic. Nothing is impossible by using forces of physics the proper way and some ingenuity, no need of aliens. Sometimes the simpler trick is the best.
If i can remember correctly. The Egyptians also used a sort of trap door system. They irrigated the water from a river (which I think was the ancient branch of the Nile the "Ahramat") to where the pyramids would be built. And they would slope it onto a wooden (I think) ramp. And how they used it was the water would be separated by how ever many lagers they planned on making. Every beginning of the layer when they had to bring the stone up. A group would lift the trapdoor ahead of the bruck and close the one behind it (The sides of the ramp were inclosed so no water could be let out.). The water would then carry the paller on which the block floated apon up to the next layer due to physics. Now, how they transported the block was through what I remember to be on top of a wooden palate floating down that river. Now, I might be wrong on the exact mechanics, but I tried my best at this theory as I don't remember EVERY thing about it as I first heard of it years ago. So try not to be too hrash, please๐ Also, I hope someone actually reads this (lol)
There is a theory that instead of bringing up giant stone blocks, they instead made the stone blocks where they would built the pyramid, using molds
First video in the new studio, W
This was super informative and entertaining! Great video dude!
1:42 - You've actually already halved the weight by the way you've hooked up that single pulley.
As usual a wonderful video but.. I think you definitely got something wrong with how pulleys works ๐ redirecting the string without looping it back to the weight does not add mechanical advantage, you need to go back and forth. In the video you only got to a 2 factor reduction, not more
i think i know how they were actually built. a giant man with slightly cringey but hilarious t-shirts helped them
12:40 I love how happy you where in this hahaha! Makes me laugh ๐
This guy made the pyramids in the most historic realistic way! Respect for how long That must have taken! Amazing job!
I really liked the part about the pulleys. It taught me how pulleys work and I was impressed how it could move that big rock.
With a new studio, you could build more giant things. I'm really looking forward :hands-yellow-heart-red:
I think this is the earliest I've been to a video. Fitting that it would be the first video in the new studio. Hell yeah
Bro blows my mind every video!!!๐ 13:51
10/10 new studio + Im an OG because the studio ๐
I want to learn that skills. so much fun to watch๐๐
