How many men can pull a ton? Do you know? Do you figure more than 1,000 men could pull a ton in an hour? How about a day? Now consider a slave labor force of 100,000 men. Not including children, women and the elderly.

In the other post you stated fitst to "read the hundreds of articles and essays by experienced researchers and archaeologists", and you making the same mistake by saying that there was a slave labor.
Recent documantaries(?) showed that several findings shows that there(they) weren't slaves at all.

I never said that the Great Pyramids were primarily built by slaves. I simply said slave labor was used. I'm quite aware of current essays and studies by researchers that claim to disprove slavery was used to build the Great Pyramids. The use of slaves has not been disproven though. It's simply been proven that a workforce of 60,000 men could have "easily" built the Pyramids and that many were hired workers. Most researchers who claim to disprove the use of slavery are looking to de-villainize ancient Egypt. You might want to read my posts a bit closer next time. I suggested that the poster below "read the hundreds of articles and essays by experienced researchers and archaeologists" after reading his following statement:

Wouldn't you agree this poster should be encouraged to read articles and essays created by true researchers and not New Age UFOlogists?

Another thing is that i find it hard to think that the pyramids where build by humans as we currently know them. i believe they where build both by humans and by aliens, but then a whole while ago, when humans were a little different then the humans we are now.

Once again more denigration of ancient mans accomplishments.
"It couldn't of been ancient man because they were so weak and stupid...no, no it must have been SUPER ancient men who got help from Aliens!"
Do you base this theory on your own physical and mental limitations or on research?

The exact number of stones was orginally estimated at 2,300,000 stone blocks weighing from 2-30 tons each with some weighing as much as 70 tons. Computer calculations indicate 590,712 stone blocks were used in its construction. It area covers 13.6 acres with each side greater than 5 acres in area.

I don't think that most people who believe man couldn't of done it by himself believe that because they think man is "so weak and stupid" I think it is because the pyramids are so massive, precise and would be hard to duplicate today.

Pyramids are so massive, precise and hard to duplicate...MEANING...ancient man would not have the intelligence to be precise or the strength and manpower to move massive amounts of weight. THEREFORE...most people, without coming out and saying it, are making the assumption that ancient man was "weak and stupid".
Simply because a feat or construction is hard to duplicate today does not mean it's impossible, which, it would stand to reason, would mean that it was not impossible back then either.
Instead of real research most people provide new age links or links to "researchers" not even closely qualified in archaeology or egyptology.
