Do you have a specific rational and informed reason for not accepting the mainstream view of pyramid construction, or is it just a gut feeling?
After all, I don't understand how planes are built, so clearly they are constructed by extraterrestrials.
We have the graves of the builders, their brewery, detailed accounts of job titles and even medical information.
The truth is that the Egyptians were a highly gifted people who achieved incredible things with the technology of their time (some of which they invented) and *human* intelligence and ingenuity.
Hi Kevin. Well ok, let us look at the alternative evidence here and you can judge the merits of what i write agreed. It is a matter of Archaeologist "Fact" that none of the fourth dynasty kings put their names on the pyramids supposedly constructed during the era of their rule. Now Kevin there is no disputing this fact.
Egyptologists also have claimed the "Great Pyramid" was build by Pharoah "KHAFU" ( the date of his reign has slipped from my mind here) And again another fact Kevin Pharaoh khafu never claimed he build this pyramid , he did however claim to have done repair work on the structure i.e( Great Pyramid) Dr Zahi Hawass i will use him as an example here, he is a leading mainstream Egyptologist and he also is head ( manager) of the Cairo museum.
Dr Zahi claimed the workers used primitive tools to build the Pyramids. I will discuss that shortly Kevin and why i think that is a silly idea. I personally believe, the builders did not have the engineering capacity to build the Great Pyramid. In simplest terms, i don't believe the mainstream point of view.
I would however re-valuate my ideas, if mainstream Egytologists would least admit to the possibility that the Egyptians might have been more advanced the we care to believe or even want to believe. The whole purpose behind the Pyramid structure had a different purpose than mere burial in fact this is backed up with the fact that no Pharaoh has ever been found inside a Pyramid ever ( Every Pharaoh found was buried in a tomb)
Ok let us look at some accepted facts here. The Great Pyramid has roughly 2,300,000 stones in fact i think the number is more likely higher than that. That figure i quoted is the mainstream figure for build.
To cut these stones would require sophisticated stone drilling and cutting equipment. So mainstream Egyptologists have made and make the claim that "Bronze" and "Copper" saws cut these stones after being(quarried)
But these people are so dumb, they don't even realise, or even care to find out that "Bronze" and "Copper" saws "Barely" cut through Limestone and there "Useless" Against Granite ( studies prove this fact Kevin there is no disputing these findings.
"What about the Quarry theory. Two of the pyramids at Giza have too different types of limestone ( so distance is important here) Ok tell me this how the hell did the Egyptians move stones weighing 50 tons plus up the river on boats and rafts and then up the Giza Plateau (ground level)? Rafts and boats of the time are too puny and too weak to support such a weigh again another fact proven by research and study.
Also there is no disputing this fact. Some of these 50 ton plus stones were lifted and positioned perfectly How? ( also there is no sign of damage on the surface of the stones or any of the corners) explain that Kevin?
For the mainstream theory to even work or the ramp theory to work internal or external.
Lot of trees and wood would be needed.
Lot of labour 20,000 people.... maybe' more even would be required ( Yet you wouldn't find ten thousand people in 500 mile radius to manage shift patterns that would be required and it is highly unlikely enough qualified workers would exist within a 500 mile radius or more.
It is esteemed that is would take 20 years to build a pyramid. This is calculated based on the number of blocks that there is, of course this number is the mainstream view on things.
Egypt was drying up ( more sand) during the Pharaohs time of rule. There is serious lack of trees today in the whole of Egypt and it was no different during this time. The most common tree they have now and before was the Date Tree. The Egyptians wouldn't cut down a tree that provides a food source for their population( in fact it was a primary food source for the Egyptians. So the theory put forward by Egyptologists is not logical or even sensible. If they done this Kevin, they would have cut down down all trees that were available to them within one year( yet the Great Pyramid has been alleged to have taken 20 years to build and construct)
Am i being logical here? do you think i being rational Kevin?
We have Ancient hieroglyphics to observe the (Egyptian culture as it once was) they depict farming, burial, Pharoah worship, hunting, building structures, animals, insects, yet nothing of the pyramid construction has ever been found anywhere. Why? The fact is Kevin, the Egyptians had writing there is no reason this achievement would not have been documented somewhere especially since we no for a fact the Egyptians recorded and documented everything else about their race and culture and their belief systems and what Wars and battles they fought. If you don't even that strange then i give up on you.
Let us look for a moment to the Sphinx a different structure that is near to the pyramids. You might not be aware of this? Studies were carried out on the Sphinx by a World renowned Geologist Robert Schoch and later stopped and he confirmed that the Sphinx was likely to be over 9,000 years old. How does he know this?
A simple theory called "Water Erosion" This theory was debunked by Dr Zawi, and by another man, by the name of Mark Lehner both dismissed the ideas brought forward by Robert Schoch.
How'?
Well they didn't they just didn't address them properly they laughed at very suggestion of it. Yet evidence was found and was shown on National Geographic Channel.
The problem here is these men have muddied the waters with allegations of their own. They have made it a personal issue without addressing the fact and issues not scientific in anyway. A simple test by impartial Engineers could prove or disprove who build the Pyramids and the Sphinx. But these guys will not allow it to be done. That is a cover-up of something right there Kevin at least that is my view.
See if can be proven the Sphinx is indeed 9,000 years old, our idea of history, and what we want to believe goes out the window. In simplest terms we would have no explantation, for who build the Pyramids and the Sphinx and why they build it.
Academia mainstream professionals will protect at all costs there views and beliefs. I think personally believe there is a Cover-up of lot of or history believe or not or least an unwillingness to chance views when evidence so presents itself.
Conclusion.
I have not even discussed the inside of the pyramids and the alternative evidence that presents itself there. Time is an issue here and i have to sign of from the internet very soon. So i just skip lot of this, but will come back again another time. But i discussed before on a different thread that an Egyptian Boat was found at ferriby England ( carbon dated proved it's age and who build it) and also plenty of Egyptian items have been found all over England.
In Ireland at Tara a man was found in a excavated tomb and lot of the items found within the tomb were remarkable similar to Egyptian items. These facts are historical realities Kevin not make believable but this facts are ignored by Academia because they don't suit there view of the ancient world and how they travelled.
Kevin the fact is the Pyramids are Perfectly aligned with constellation Orion. How they aligned the Three Pyramids perfectly is a real mystery. And also it very interesting lot of paranormal cases that i have read about happened near locations that have deposits of limestone. I speculate here is there a some connection between Limestone and magnetic anomalies that we don't fully understand yet. There is evidence that some tourists and others experienced energy anomalies while walking around inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. What is up with that if true?
To answer you point. We have no idea they were Builders of the Pyramids. That is just a theory put forward. I would accept the possibility, they might, have been workers that done repairs on the Pyramid structure after build?
Kevin, Egypt was inhabited by people. I wasn't one bit surprised they would find a small town or people (Graves) close to the pyramids. But when people claim these guys build the Pyramids all these people are doing is trying to sew up their particular viewpoint from more ridicule.
