The ceilings in the corridors and chambers of pyramids are made from large stone blocks that are wider than the corridors and chambers themselves. They can only have been put in place during construction because they had to be lowered in place before the blocks above them were added. Which means that they are original features that were planned from the very start of the construction process.

The construction process, whatever it was, is clearly impossible for humans to replicate, that's the problem.
That's the one factor in this, that makes it impossible to do. Why we have no idea how it was done, because it was done by the Nephelim, not by humans.
Look at other monoliths around Earth, like Easter Island, and others. All of them are huge, no sign of who built them, or how they were built. That would fit with the Nephelim, able to build them, and all were destroyed in the great flood, with no sign of them anymore.
It makes sense.

You keep saying that it's impossible, but the fact that the we have examples of such structures of identical or higher quality all over the ancient world that were indisputable done by humans proves that it's possible. The problem isn't that we don't know how it was done, it's that we know 5 or 6 different ways that it could be done but we're not sure which one is correct. For example there are similar structures in Mexico where it is well known who made them and how.

Then show me any of those methods, which you claim would work, to replicate the great pyramid, already!
A complete, usable plan, from start to finish, which would work, to replicate this structure, with the tools of the day.
I can't wait to see it, so please go ahead...

The first step in construction would have been to lay the ground course. This process would have consisted in placing large blocks with great precision to establish the dimensions of the pyramid. Based on a survey reported in the literature, the base is square and is oriented to the four points of the compass to standards that would be challenging to a builder today. Construction would have proceeded to add layers above the base, until the next "step" was achieved. Here the structure would have been carefully leveled again. It would not have been necessary to level each layer, as this would have increased the amount of cutting and trimming on each block and would have wasted material. It is believed that there are 14 to 16 layers per step and 15 to 17 steps.

Hey Harte
One correction to that fine document - and you already know this - its for the peanut gallery.

It doesn't take into account that the AE incorporated a portion of the limestone ridge line into the structure which greatly reduced the amount of work, up to 23% for G1 and 12% for G2 . They did so for both Khafre and Khufu's tombs
Not that some of the folks who see it will not just dismiss it and rant about how its not possible...lol

Simply saying they used ramps, large enough for the project, is not a workable plan. Is there any ACTUAL plan for it, since this isn't one...

So this article here states that the great pyramids base was leveled, it doesn't say anything about the limestone hill. (I understand that some were built atop of limestone bluffs).
So a a question for the two of you, who probably know offhand.
We're all three bigger pyramids at the Giza complex built atop bluffs, or is the "great" pyramid a standout.
Working in commercial construction myself, and participating in a build of a 14 acre footprint warehouse(one of several large warehouses) I can say with experience that leveling any amount of terrain is a simple procedure. You can level extremely large areas with something as simple as a string, or something as sophisticated as a laser transit.
We also constructed concrete tilt-up buildings. Immense slabs of concrete poured on the ground and leveled, then tilted into place with a crane. However, sometimes our panels were misaligned after the crane left the site. Economically feasible to call the crane back out to adjust the panel. We used what was called a Peavy(very large pry bar), and several well-coordinated men to slide and adjust these slabs with MANUAL labor. These were at least 40 ft tall, in 20 ft in width. The new guys would scoff at the effort, until they saw the results. It was an eye-opening experience for a lot of people.
What I'm trying to say here to the uninitiated, don't underestimate the ability of manual labor and simple tools with a well trained crew.
We used optical transits in the beginning, and upgraded to the laser transits for simplicity they became available. Funny, with that upgrade we went from a generation of people who knew how to level a large area with simple tools, to a generation unable to do same without electronics.
I hope you all have a good year.

They claim that ramps would've been used, but they don't give any specifications, or even a drawing of it, to show it's structure.

Show me the same for the Statue of liberty?
It's clearly a real building and it's clearly man made. I just don't think that you could actually find the instructions.
