Too expensive, no real utility.

what would be the point of doing that

Because we didn't build the old ones either

Because that would be gay

Isn’t there like some casino equivalent in Las Vegas

why should we ?

I found my smarter doppelgänger

It has roughly zero use value.

Now Ayyyys around to levitate the blocks with soundwaves

There's no way humans can build one the same way without aliens dumb ass

so why did the "Egyptians" build one if it has no utility?

because it's the greatest monument they can build, given excess manpower and no machines. also, false believes in the afterlife gives added sense of utility.

What would be the modern equivalent?
>Massive government work program
>Multi-decade project
>Pulls workers from all over the country
>Huge support system for housing, training and feeding workers
>Becomes a tourist attraction for the next 4000 years

For the US it's probably something like the Hoover Dam or the Interstate Highway system.

We have, go to any large city and look up.

because we dont have any slaves to build them for us

Lack of megalomane kings obsessed with dead, thinking they are Osiris ?

you call that a pyramid?

We have. Burj Khalifa.

Because it's the simplest way to build a big structure for the Pharaoh to flex his cock with.

didn't like 500 people die building this

Cuz the Kang Niggers forgot how too?

We put the pyramids to shame

Literally every modern skyscraper is 1000x more impressive than a pile of rocks configured by slaves over the course of 70 years to cover up a tomb, get raped op

Good point, actually pretty cool! Thx for sharing

Building a pyramid probably wouldn't be that expensive. It's literally just stone.
Ignoring statues and artwork you just need a few cranes, construction workers and a fuckton of sandstone or whatever it's made of.
I imagine it runs into the lower 8 digits.
If you want to make it super awesome 9 digits.

Downside is you'll be accused of vanity building such an expensive tombstone, but there's no reason it couldn't be turned into a functional building, and some statesmen had pretty pricey mausolei built for them.

I think there's a mini one in vegas

It was built by paid workers though, probably during the off-season.

Yeah.
Probably a lot less than died building the pyramids.

An oilfield safety class I sat through gave a way to estimate losses. In the days before jobsite safety rules you could count on 1 death per $100,000 of project cost (1930's dollars, adjust for inflation).

I've seen estimates for a modern Pyramid of Giza ranging from a lowball $775 million to $5 billion. In 1930's dollars that translates to $40 million low, $260 million high.

Divide by $100,000 and you've got between 400 and 2,600 fatalities.

Oh, you having trouble seeing it? Maybe a little light will help.

Isn't that tower in Mekkah even higher? Or were they lying?

Ever been to Vegas?

Not built yet. Still in planning.
