nah man.

the greeks were not superhumans - there are billions of men nowadays from which the best of the best male physical specimens are drawn, and the strongest of them have the time, energy, nutrition and steriods to set the world record lifts we watch on YT, INCLUDING stone lifts. sorry but we are stronger now than we have ever been.

the Greeks actually lived in a culture where fitness was seen as a necessity. even eggheads like Socrates were disgusted by anyone who wasn't ripped as shit. It was more than just cultural, but religious, the Greeks believed that the Gods had very real very fit bodies and that, as they became more fit, they became closer to the Gods.

so what, because they're greek and because it was incomprehensibly long ago i'm suppoed to believe they had some kind of advantage outside of more nutritious vegatables and shit?

they had no steroids and no access to widespread empirical or scientific research. very few of them made a career out of it. i'm not denying that the average spartan and athenian aristocrat was in much, much better shape than the average labourer nowadays, but the greeks were nothing if not melodramatic, and their resources simply were not as conducive to strength gains as we have today. no one lifted a stone weighing more than andy bolton's deadlift; i'm sorry, that just never happened

this shit shaped greek art massively.

even bled into roman culture too, i remember reading in a book (possibly gibbons) that there were three pillars of glory to a general's victory - the victory itself, the witnessing of your glory by everyone present, and the display of your glory via a triumph through the streets of rome.

the greeks were even more obsessed with image and status, far beyond the instagram sluts we have today; their lives were impressing others. lifting a heavy ass stone seems like a fucking good way to do that.

you think that's impressive?

>"There are various accounts of an incident with an anchor that may have taken place in New York or New Orleans. French sailors apparently taunted MacAskill to lift an anchor lying on the wharf, which was estimated to weigh 2,200–2,700 pounds (1,000–1,220 kg)."

Oh and those handtools are apparently inferior to those old copper tools because they are not even close to as fucking precise. I reiterate We have no clue as to how the pyramids were built.

A modern abrasive stone cutting saw is monumentally better than the copper wetsaws that the egyptians used, considering the egyptians used a more primitive version of what we use today.

There is no evidence. There is a lot of good guesses that are just taken as fact because to say "I unno" makes them feel really really bad.
Oh and you're one of those complete cunts who help prop up strawmen like ancient aliems right?
Here's a hint. No goddamned body buys that shit except idiots. It does not make the weak as fuck arguments look any better.

What's that? These methods used to crudely move something could be how they did it?
But what about how they put the pyramids together? Surely...what do you mean it wouldn't work?
We have no idea how they moved them, how they put them together so perfectly cut them so perfectly or arranged the entire goddamned pyramids back when that place was still lush green and had rainfall.
Just piss poor guesses.

>"I'm a moron who ignores everything that doesn't fit into my own preconceived notions
Uh. Your preconcieved notions are that the pyramids were tombs that were built by slaves in the deserts of egypt. Everything we know states that they were built during a time where that part of the world was green in a way and for a pourpse that we still don't fully understand.

>I guess all those marble statues the venetians were churning out don't exist. The Parthenon? The Colosseum? Don't exist. The Arc De Triumph? Versailles? Don't exist.
Those are all measly vain pieces and crumbling pieces of trash that are nothing compared to the pyramids. The same types of pyramids and stone structures across the world that still stand and are still not fully understood today.
Sorry. Your fantasy of those pieces of trash equaling those great feats of engineering was dashed. Your WE WUZ KANGS fantasies and all that.

>No, they weren't you goof, pic related. Gee whiz those 'super advanced egyptian stoneworking tools" were so advance.

You've given me the party line. You haven't actually looked into any of it. You're simply desperate to uphold your view of the past even if it's wrong.

No we don't.

Why in the fuck would they waste their time actually making a useless fucking pyramid?

13,000 dudes worked on that project for 10 years, why would scientists spend 800 million man hours to make another pyramid when they can spend a few hundred proving how the individual stones were cut and a few thousand man hours proving how the stones could be moved?

Dumbfuck.

>>41162348
The Jews were in captivity in a different historical era than the age of pyramid building in Egypt.

The only people who think the pyramids were built by slaves are people who haven't paid attention to Egyptology for the last 40 years, and the only people who think the Jews were those slaves are the sort who get all their history from Charleston Heston.

Yeah - impressively false and embellished like the stone dude.

Why can't you retards think for a moment and understand what is realistically possible instead of going by rumours?

Humanity right now has the greatest possible advantage when it comes to all things physiological and demonstrating physical feats. Nutrition, time, selection, steroids etc. All contribute significantly to surpass what any human in a previous age could ever hope to accomplish sans those things.

>>41160365

MacAskill was like a one in several billion or more occurence tho. He was tall without any (other) signs of gigantism, acromegaly, or anything else like that. Just a much bigger version of a normal human who also trained strength.

>>41157503

They were also like 5ft tall on average. Go to a museum and check out the hilts on all the greek and roman swords they have. They'd barely fit the hand of a 10 year old child. They were fucking pygmies.

Even something like plates are something the greeks lacked. They couldn't progressively overload and the majority of their bodies were built by light weight, labor, and cardio.

Ie, they were most likely ottermode, but were in marathon shape.

Most of the people in the cbt (the ones where they've been lifting for over a year) are more than likely bigger and stronger than most of the soldiers back then.

>>41172458
You can progressively overload by increasing to more and more difficult variations.

If you can one arm pull up, or do a 1 handed inderhand push up with your feet on an object, you are gonna be jacked.

It is just harder to track volume than

There's only so much you can accomplish with that though. Pullups are hard, but I could do one handed feet elevated pushups before lifting. I can do handstand pushups easily now a year and a half later and I still look like shit and am weaker than a lot of the people here.

That being said, that falls under our modern knowledge of lifting. You really think fags back then were doing one handed pullups and every variation of pushups in addition to the sort of knowhow that would lead them to gains doing that?
