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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Couldn't be made with todays technology? Interesting. Anyone got a direct quote or timestamp to the episode this claim was made in?
EDIT: Yeah so I did a little digging around and this seems to be from the Coleman Hughes episode and the specific claim he makes is: The stones used to form them (in Giza specifically) were 70 tons, which we currently don't have the technology to move the 100s of miles, through the mountains, they were moved back then.
So yeah. While I don't think that is correct either it still seems like the statement in the picture above is a misquote.
We managed to dig a hole approximately 10km long in about 40 years in Germany, I'm sure we could figure something out if we wanted to
The MI-26 helicopter can carry 56 metric tons (more than double that in freedom units) if I'm reading the numbers right. This isn't a technical problem, it's a motivation one.
