Question 5 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27

What evidence contradicts the theory that moving two-ton stones was physically impossible for the Egyptians, and must have been done using alien technology?

Answer

Answer:

Quarries and ancient tools show how Egyptians cut large slabs from rock beds. They could place the stones on sleds and pull them with a team of workers, possibly pouring oil on the roadway to reduce friction. Tomb paintings dating to about 1900 BCE depict this method.
