say: We did not lose it. We just put a value on our time. We are always looking for an easier way to do things, that we rely on machines more and more to reduce the amount of manpower to do the job and get it done faster. We don't think in a 10 year time period. 10 weeks is long enough for a house. Finished. Lets do something else.
The pyramids blows your mind when you see the number of blocks. They say 2 million on the great pyramid(but that is if they are all block. They may not be. There may be much rubble in there as fill too. Maybe just the outer courses are block and the unseen is fill. Nobody has taken one apart...nor can we see inside so 2 million is a guess using algebraic calculations if it were all block. Still it is a great number and still a great feat using what we know what we think we know they knew about physical mechanics...and using rope and wood sledges and a willing labor force. Farmers have a lot of ingenuity. The main workforce was idle farmers waiting for the floods to reduce so that they could work the land. A yearly occurrence. Beer makers and food processors could not process breads when there is no grain stores so they kept busy making bread after the harvests and fed the workers. There was always a workforce working on the MID as well as other craftsmen busy doing their thing, like carpenters, boat builders, artists, carvers, painters, camel herders,etc.
Look at 1 block, not 2 million and move 1. It can be done. using 10 guys and rope and water and a wooden sledge and wood poles as levers. It can be done. Egyptologists are not machinists or stone masons or people that move heavy loads. People who know how to do it.

Enough Trolls say: We have NOT lost technology. We know how the pyramids were built, we know how Stonehenge was built. If you want ancient technology look at the Antikythera Mechanism for decent tech in the past.
