Something I like to ask supporters "that humans built the pyramids" is this:
If you have the knowledge RIGHT NOW on how to build a pyramid and the funding, where would your labor force come from? What would be its composition? What would be the skills requirement you would demand?
From my personal experience, people who are responsible for building our skyscrapers don't hire just anyone. They usually require someone to have some aptitude of construction and engineering.
Was every person used in the construction of the pyramids a mathemetician and engineer? If you go out with the intent of building a skyscraper, and you hire just any joe's off the street how would your skyscraper turn out and why?
I understand that you would need managers and supervisors to assist you in your construction of a skyscraper, they would have to be skilled enough to interpret your designs and instructions. The educational requirement for this nowadays is quite extensive. Because there would have been blueprints necessary...where are those records from the pyramids?

Why would anyone want to build a pyramid now? They're useless. What skill sets do you need? Building a pyramid requires one architect, a dozen or so logistics people (Army officers would do nicely), perhaps a hundred or so skilled artisans (sculptors, etc.) who would be free men who earned the right to live and be buried in the pyramid's shade, and thousands of slaves who actually piled the rubble up into a big mound. The flow chart itself is pyramid shaped!

Good questions but the answers would be based on a basic understanding of Egyptology which I have since I've been interested in Egyptian history since the '60s. I'm NOT an expert but I have learned that there are many signs of human construction left inside the pyramids by the workers, marks on some of the stones, tools that have been found, etc. Every type of occupation that you mention was there, all under the various pharaohs' control. Workers' cemeteries have been found. Breweries have been found. Unfinished obelisks have been found. Some graphics provide clues. Blueprints necessary? Possibly only during the construction and then discarded since they were probably done on fragile papyrus.
I am not going to make any leaps from prosaic to far-out explanations.
BTW, your opening comment: "Something I like to ask supporters "that humans built the pyramids" is this:" is gratuitous (unnecessary and unwarranted) for the majority of humans support human construction and only a few, a very small percentage - my opinion, consider other than human-construction and even less think of alien intervention. If asked, the majority would possibly answer that the consideration of alien intervention is downright silly.

This is interesting, I always knew the pyramids had a connection with ETs.

First, I apologize for not getting a second detailed recap on the remaining pages. I've been in meetings all day, and have another to attend in a bit, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. But if everyone is still interested in having me compile the rest of the information, I'll still do the work.
And thanks a bunch to Mblahnikluver! I'd want you on my team any day, no matter if we ended up at a dead end or not. We should start an investigative team and tackle stuff like this in the future! Thanks for making the phone calls. I would have offered myself, but I don't live in the U.S., and foreign calls from where I live are outrageous. I really appreciate what you've done, since emails have gotten us nowhere...yet. I'll be checking my inbox again in a bit, but I'm not holding my breath.
Also, just to get things back on track....this thread was NOT about "who" constructed the pyramids. I've seen some pretty slanderous posts regarding that, and that's not what this is about. This is about a Doctor (who exists), who was a conference (which actually took place), and was quoted as allegedly stating that the pyramids contain UFO technology. The quote is what we're trying to prove or disprove, even though the source came from a known hoaxer. Because all the other items have been proven, the hope is there that this questioning did take place....two out of three ain't bad!
