This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And all you need is lots of money, lots of labor, and some clever engineers, which are all things the ancient Egyptians had in spades.

It's really not that hard.

Well, it's very hard, it's just not impossible.

Well, yeah, which is why building them took decades.

You don't really even need clever engineers unless you want some kind of internal structure (which the Egyptians did). Otherwise it's just a stack of rocks.
