    i got into an argument on tiktok with someone who insisted that no ancient civilization could build the pyramids. i asked them if they knew what tools were and they clapped back with “what tools did they have back then?” mf never heard of simple machines

      There’s some guy on YouTube who was showing how to lift boulders and logs by himself using only simple levers and inclines. It’s been a while since I watched it, but if I remember right he moves a rock the size of a car 100 yards and lifts it a few feet into the air.

      He does this with tree branches, rope, and scrap wood lol
