by the way, ever wonder what is in the center of a pyramid??

Due to the precision of which they were built I believe that something out of the ordinary was involved. It is also odd the similarities between the great pyramid of Giza and the pyramid of the sun at Teotihuacan. If I remember correctly I think the Pyramid of the sun is only 4 inches smaller at the base. This may not be completely accurate though. I always find it remarkable how advanced the Mayan and Egyptians were which raises the question: Were they brilliant or were they visited?

a yummy chocolate center?

they move these huge blocks that weigh tons and on top of that they build these things perfect and line them up with the stars and all that astronomy stuff....thats amazing

Most people think the older version of themselves are dumber than they are. Why could not have Eyptians built it? People say that "How can anyone build such a monument?" If a 3000 B.C. Eygptian visited us he would be suprised even scared by Nuclear Bomb, Rockets, Spacecrafts etc. Many people refuse to believe that a middle eastern country could have build such amazing things.

Uh, Egyptians and the slaves they employed........

And, do we know that their knowledge was not as corrupt as we think???

A somewhat-old book called Pyramid: Miracle in Stone makes the case that the Great Pyramid at Giza was divinely-inspired. It describes the construction as being started and overseen by a foreigner who is also a shepherd. Does anyone know when, roughly, the Gizeh Pyramid was built? Because the author argues that this overseer was Job (and the same person as the priest-king Melchizedek).
Even if you don't agree, its an interesting read, and will teach you a lot about this pyramid.

slaves built them, its even written in their hieroglyphs.

Darn it Quango you beat me to it!!!

Thanks for the link Seekerof.

I saw a site the other day that talked about the pyramid blocks being cast on site, like modern cast in place concrete.

On Biblical possibilities, it was commonly asserted in the Renaissance when travel became easier that the pyramids were the granaries built by Joseph during the seven years of plenty.
Such ancient texts as there are suggest the "common sense" view: a great many labourers (possibly feudal serfs, rather than slaves, for the great part) working da**ed hard for many years.
I can think of no very compelling reason why the Egyptians should have been any less skilled at monumental engineering, masonry, draughtsmanship and design than we are to-day. They just didn't have the machines. They were never going to build bronze and glass skyscrapers with lifts -but monumental massive stonework seems well within their grasp. What is so impressive is, of course, the sheer size. And that's where the hard work comes in.

If a 3000 B.C. Eygptian visited us he would be suprised even scared by Nuclear Bomb, Rockets, Spacecrafts etc.

WOuld he? Or have you not read any of the discussions on "prehistoric" advanced civilizations?

nougat?


caramel?



since they werent mentioned i decided to post em.

They actually were not built by slaves. They were built by the regular population. In Egypt each person had tp spend some time doing work for the government, somewhat like public service, after the work was done they went home.
