  Kids these days are just so lazy, back then the average man could lift way more weight

  Actually, 2500/18 is only 139kg. That’s a lot, but it’s less than what some people do today

    But regular workers back then didn’t understand what those weight numbers/hieroglyphs meant, so they just picked it up unaware it’s way too heavy to do so.

    The photographer was giggling at them & about to explain how heavy the blocks are - but doing so a lot of workers would be immediately pancaked.

    If it’s that heavy how are they picking it up?

      Nah, 2.5 tonne seems about right

  Kids today are lazy, back 60 years ago we had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways and come home and milk the cows. Why we could easily lift that thing with only four people.

  People just had a much better work ethic back then

  Only those who could lift more than average survived for the photo, obviously.
