Is it impossible to recreate the pyramids?

With modern-day tools and know-how, scientists have not determined a way to recreate the pyramids, even on smaller scales, with the same precisions as those that built the originals. The technology to do so, in that era, simply didn't exist according to historical teachings.

The materials would also be very costly. I did an answer on the cost of building a pyramid in modern times, and it ran into the billions. Just the materials and labor of restoring the facing would cost a few tens of millions.

But what the Egyptians lacked in tools, they made up for with science and engineering precision. Smith explains that they developed and used the cubit rod to measure and lay out the dimensions of the pyramid; a square level to level horizontal surfaces, and a 3:4:5 framing square to create precision 90-degree angles.

While scientists have been able to discover much about the different rooms and chambers within these pyramids, there are still questions left unanswered, especially with the recent discovery of secret passageways and a mysterious void within the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Although tourists were once able to freely climb the pyramids, that is now illegal. Offenders face up to three years in prison as penalty. In 2016 a teenage tourist was banned from visiting Egypt for life after posting photos and videos on social media of his illicit climb.
