Evaluating Scientific Explanations

Question 5 • Physical Science Sem 1 (2003310) BCPS 2026-27

What evidence contradicts the theory that moving two-ton stones was physically impossible for the Egyptians, and must have been done using alien technology?

Answer

Answer:

Archaeological evidence, such as the remains of quarries and ancient tools, shows that the Egyptians were capable of building the pyramids themselves. Evidence suggests they moved large stone slabs by placing them on sleds and pulling them across paths lubricated with oil or water to reduce friction. This specific process is depicted in tomb paintings dating back to approximately 1900 BCE.
