It took decades/lifetimes to build a pyramid. Oh and I can make a perfect square using a piece of string with 2 knots tied in it, big deal. The "general contractor" walked around with a bundle of cords that had all the measurements preset onto them. Ever heard the phrase, "measure twice, cut once"? How about "measure 1,000 times and cut slowly"...

I don't care if it was measure 1000x/cut slowly. It's still pretty damn impressive and our world took back steps from that type of quality before we moved forward. It's just impressive engineering without modern equipment.
