The great pyramid of Giza weighs around 6 million tons https://weightofstuff.com/how-much-does-the-pyramid-of-giza-weigh/
An average human can apparently develop about 200N https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/ergonomics/push1.html
Meaning that an average human would need a lever about 3×10^8 m long (considering a 1 metre load arm) to move the pyramid.
Do you find this credible?
ETA: some people think I'm serious. This is quite the flabbergast.
Don't worry I got what you were putting down. People can be very reactionary with their downvotes here, if your joke is too subtle it can fly over their heads.
It made me smirk! For my reference, how many zeros is that (I'm shit at maths but want to try and imagine such a long lever protruding into deep space)?
8 zeros, so 300 000 kms (but I've probably messed up somewhere)

That's almost as far away as the moon! Therefore, the only logical explanation is ALIENS
Take that scientists!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say i don't think they found the pyramid whole and moved the entire thing. I think they took small pieces, possibly block shaped and moved those one at a time
I would never have thought of that! But I still don't understand how these satanic Duplo work, so who am I to judge
You're gonna need a bigger load arm. The pyramid is way more than a meter across.
How much more? One metre, tops?
