The ISS is an absolute feat of engineering with no room for mistakes (given people living SPACE!!!!) but it was done with modern technology.

The Pyramids have stood more than a basic test of time, with unreal engineering and obscene efforts of labour - barely seen in human history. Of which, baffle the leading historians of today.

 

[Sunnyvale TP]

Great pyramids. We know how the ISS was built. There are only theories on the pyramids of Giza.

 

[Sobek]

Well we know the ISS was built by man...so I voted for that.

Yeah it all comes down to that pretty much. But I think the ancient Egyptians were advanced in their knowledge.

 

[TheNinja]

I voted ISS. Both are insane to me.

 

[PBAC]

yeah but the pyramid can blast off into space though

 

[Streeter]

Giza . The tech to do what they did still isn't 100% understood.

 

[armbarforhire]

ISS so far is the pinacle.

Pyramids are great and will continue to be amazing once we built something better than ISS but Im not going by great for their time.

To me its like comparing Usain Bolt's record to Florence Griffith record. Yeah Florence is a cute stat that no women has been close to tie, Bolt is the benchmark for humanity.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

99% of humanity were living in grass or wooden huts and the Egyptians went ahead and built the building that'd be the tallest in the world for almost 4,000 years.

It's on a different level.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Wow close, thanks for voting thus far.

One is a pile of rocks FFS

The majority of the pyramid is made up of 1-2 ton sandstone blocks. There is no controversy about how they go those up there. They used a long ramp and rollers.

The big granite blocks were moved the same way. You just needed more guys pulling them.

 

[ColemanwastheGOAT]

Double

 

[Starck]

Great Pyramids for their time are more impressive than the ISS for its time.

 

[Sweater of AV]

In a vacuum (no pun intended), you would obviously have to go with the ISS. However, strength of competition matters. ISS is phenomenal, but it wasn't the first space station and there are many other amazing and highly technologically advanced constructions. For instance, the Large Hadron Collider, and CERN in general, is another masterpiece of technology.

The pyramids are basically one of one relative to their time and continue to be marveled at by virtually the entire world.

There's no wrong answer here. It basically comes down to what you value most. I'd probably lean towards the pyramids. It's incredible that they've stood the test of time.

Very close votes. Love it!
