Here are two links that need to be read in their entirety and carefully and that will answer that and other questions much more fully and clearly. :) Be prepared, however, to make yourself be patient, and give yourself time to click on other links within these and read what is presented there...

Wow. That's quite a mouthful of venom.:D And those teachers were your "close friends"? Are they still? Have you brought them to your state of "unbiased mind," "free and clear of prior indoctrination," and "thinking outside the covers of their textbooks"? I taught for 35 years, two years...

I didn't want to disappoint you, Pixel. I know you had your popcorn and beer ready. My reply to Kieran is just above.;) Nice touch there about the Bible. That was a mild one, so thank you.:D Kim

Kieran, I have answered your questions in my posts, and have answered specifically Gordon's questions. To address some of your statements, just off the top of my head, no especial order: 1. Why should any culture, the Egyptians in this case, necessarily want to broadcast their reasons, etc...

I agree, of course, Rick. It was my most fervent anticipation when I reentered the forums and began posting after years of being a lurker posting very, very little. And I think the rules have to be evenly enforced. Angelo says my post about vaccinations and global warming precipitated the...

Yes, I understand, Angelo. You have had your own frustrations of dealing with those topics. And, really, Rick, you are one to call for civility! I seem to remember another topic where you piled on just fine! But I agree, I have made my points on these three threads, now one, evidently, as...

Pixel, there you go again, foaming and frothing over your inability to see that I have clearly covered this topic, and to recognize the clear evidence that this alternative history crackpot stuff is just that, crackpot. You get very frustrated when asked for specifics concerning your beliefs...

Well, Pixel, if you read our exchanges on this topic, you will see that you have succumbed to the utmost frustration at your inability to read my posts (you don't read them, we know that) and to see that I have answered your questions on this thread and the two others begun recently on this same...

Yes, a circular saw, made of what, cutting edge made of what, powered by, well, what indeed? And thirty five feet in diameter!:rolleyes: Notice who authors the article you linked to regarding such a saw on another thread and in what magazine it appears. The link to it is in your post on one of...

Well, what the heck are you doing UP at two in the morning, Gordon? I didn't mean to rattle your chain so much.;) As for crediting people of antiquity, I think I have been defending them staunchly. And stating clearly that the methods THEY HAD, the wondrous extent of their knowledge, the...

Well, I answered the granite question. I hate to disappoint you, but I've found that the 1,000 ton figure is widely thought to be exaggerated, not that they may not have approached some 700 to 800 tons, and yes, cranes could have done it, and in fact did. So, I don't think there's all this...

Well, I see an old ally has joined the fray on your behalf, Gordon.:D Ironic that you, rather in a juvenile fashion, repeat your question five times, as if I've been ignoring your questions about, well, what hypothesis have you NOT put forth, and I've asked you about these power tools and you...

Gordon, here's a link about cranes. Scroll down to the sections entitled Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. See my post above for an introductory article on the Egyptians and their pyramids. I can give you many more (on both Egyptian and Roman technology). I use Wikepedia with a grain of salt...

Pixel, you are really, sorry, fella, not the brightest light in the starry skies. Your method of argumentation is exceedingly profound.:p Gordon, yes, I went to that spot and watched some minutes before and after it. Remember that I had already watched it, as I had yours. It took me...

Gordon, I have merely been asking you for more details about the "belt-driven power tools" you say were used to "machine" the blocks used for the pyramid(s). Those tools driven by human, animal, or water power. I don't understand why you can't elaborate on that except to say that they were not...

From my research, Gordon, the quarry for the stones for Baalbek were above the building site, so that made it easier. But that's not the point really. Those stones were lifted by, yes, cranes, and yes, by Roman cranes. And no, the Romans built the temple complex at Baalbek, and there was no...

Marks, yes, but "machine tool marks"? I keep on and on trying to press you on supplying not only evidence for this machining, but you won't even supply any sort of elaboration of what you have said regarding the machining of stones making up the Great Pyramid, the actual tools that you have...

Now, now, Pixel, I've asked you for specifics to some very clear questions over the history of this thread, and have now asked you for specifics about your "other scenarios" as to who built the pyramids. You said clearly that you had these other scenarios, but in the post above you say you...

Ah, Pixel, you have returned us to my questions to you. What are "the other scenarios" you "keep an open mind to"? Please be specific, then, as to these other peoples/cultures/civilizations/aliens/vanished civilizations that predated what is clearly the window of recorded human history who...

But, Pixel, it's not that simple, and the things alleged in this thread and two others on this very same topic begun recently far, far exceed that illuminating exercise in profound reasoning and logic quoted above. Your legacy of profundity remains intact.:rolleyes: Actually, we DO KNOW how...
