Construction in Plain Language

  • Massive but methodical: quarrying nearby, river transport, ramp systems (multiple theories) and careful leveling.
  • Blocks show tool marks from copper/stone tools; precision grows with height.

Alignment & Astronomy

  • Cardinal alignment suggests careful surveying; simple tools + clear skies can achieve surprising precision.
  • Popular “Orion’s Belt” alignments are debated; treat as speculative, not consensus.

Who Built Them?

  • Evidence points to skilled workers with support villages, not enslaved labor.
  • Rotational teams, rations, and medical care attest to organized labor.

Bottom Line

Respect the human achievement: ingenuity, logistics and community—not fringe theories—explain the plateau.
