Comment on How long would it take to create a Pyramid today?

The Manhattan project took 2.5 years. It involved mining 18.8 million pounds of uranium. 10 Cyclotron factories of 20 cyclotrons for 22,000 workers was built in 6 months to separate the uranium.
So it’s really down to resources. If it was a Manhattan Project level of resources thrown at building a Pyramid, I’d wild guess 3 months.
It boils down to collecting all the building equipment from around the world and sending it to where you want to build the pyramid.
50,000 people cutting stone while 50,000 heavy construction equipment operators move the stones would take 2 months.

If anyone wants to understand the pain of fissile uranium production, play factorio. Gives you a little tiny fraction of what it’s like to produce enough fuel for a powerplant. You need a lot more for a bomb.

At my house we agreed I’d never play factorio. Not even once.

I can’t wait for the new expansion. It looks fucking amazing.

I both anticipate and fear the expansion.
