teachers step-up system is the easiest way to explain how they moved 2-3 ton stone blocks when constructing the pyramid, but when it comes to 100 or 1000 ton blocks its a different matter. Obviously we don't know how these large pieces were moved and placed. We either have forgotten or it was a secret only a chosen few understood (for example: the story of Hiram and the building of king Solomons temple). |
You're jerking my chain, ain't ya? Always with the, "yea, you got that, but what about this"? And over it starts again.
It's just big heavy blocks.
I've read the biggest block in the whole big pointy thing in the dessert is 70 tons. Most likely wrong as that info come from a scientist. Be easy to get a close estimate by size and weight per volume, but who cares?
Gimme, I'll move it. Well, I won't, I'll stand around looking good, pointing and telling others what to do.
So you said before you get the moving of the big blocks, more men, rollers, levers and such.

You're just rattling my cage, ain't you? So you get moving them or not? And all you have to do to place them is stop moving them.
Wala.
But that's not why I'm here today. I'm trying to figure how to make a poster size drawing in paint, highly detailed, you can zoom in on spots and see blocks levered, rolling bla bla bla. The whole ball of wax, from quarry to The Mighty Nile, with all the methods shown.
But that's just work. Here's my new hold up. All the levels are different heights. Why? We know they can quarry and finish to any size they liked, but there is so much variation in the block sizes. I have a quarrying technique that explains this, but it's weak. Hopefully by now I've taught you the Egyptians were smart. They did things for a reason. Why so much variation in block size? Seems to me if you are supposed to make a block 2 1/2' tall and you end up with 3' tall, your boss will be making sure that don't happen again. It may be simply poor quallity control, trading quantity and speed for quality, but this is bugging me.
And Traveller? I got plenty of ideas of the function of the pyramid. All based in reality. If you think this is some EMF generator or plasma conduit to the mothership, draw me a schematic. Otherwise light some candles, kill some chickens and understand I haven't seen ONE solid theory that says this thing is other than a pile of blocks.
