Yeah i agree it's only my view, i wouldn't claim otherwise without much more evidence. Same with the copper and rock theory, for me to personally believe it i need a bit more evidence, such as what i have been asking for in here.

No the only method to work hard stone available would have been the grinding method and without machinery that’s like trying cut and shape stone with sand paper. So there must have been some other as yet unknown method.
It becomes evident when looking at the size, hardness and accuracy of some of these works that the Egyptologists are simply making stuff up. The truth is being kept hidden from us. That becomes evident when you start looking for yourself.

You have not explained to me how these are formed. You said they where caused by tubular drilling. Evidently this is not the case.
I know nobody will recreate it because in my opinion it's impossible. So that means that the theory that it was built with those tools is false. For me to believe in very unbelievable theories such as Egyptians building granite works of art by pounding with stones, i need HARD evidence. My argument is exactly like the many arguments you yourself have on here regarding evidence and theories, there is nothing wrong with standing firm in the absence of evidence.

You should realize that nobody's going to even try to reproduce even a granite sarcophagus by hand, much less the granite box you want made.
In effect, you've demanded yourself into an immovable position.
And while admittedly not exactly the same argument, the outcome of your argument IS exactly the same as if you simply stamped your foot and cried "Nuh uh!"

Cracked under its own weight, mostly. It was the biggest one they ever tried to do.
Granite isn't homogeneous anymore than any other stone is. In a granite bed, you can find variations. Just relieving the pressure from the surrounding granite on this piece could have cause it to expand and weaken. Apply the right force, it will crack.
Personally, I think that the pounding process (quarrying) was aided by the use of small fires. Heat differentials could have cracked the thing if it had a weak vein in it.

nobody has to provide anything to you..Dont expect anyone doing your own research. I' d start with.. First, who is the original poster of these photos. Are they from a reliable source or just youtube? Second, when this is clear, what date are these? are they modern drill holes?
so, 'the Egyptologists' again .. well thats a quite extraordinairy claim. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. So, please privide something that proves that main parts of the worldwide scientific historical community is involved in a ' conspiracy' ( what you want to imply). And then, why? just to 'fit' into your 'ancient hightech idea'? I mean, they work all day, fieldwork maybe, release papers and held discussions, teach, do university work etc etc .. remember it's not Indiana Jones.
well thats a quite extraordinairy claim. And extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I mean it's only fair we ask for these examples to prove your theory, you are always asking for "hard evidence" to prove alternative theories right? Why do you get to be lazy?

originally posted by: Xabi87Cracking under it's weight is another interesting theory i must admit, honestly never heard of that one. Do granite mountains usually do this or something? What is this theory based on?
originally posted by: Xabi87I agree with you on the fires, heat could have had something to do with it.

Why dont you go and understand the maths of the Pyramids of Osiris and when you are informed come back again and we can talk.
originally posted by: purplemerGive me some evidence that they are burial chambers.
originally posted by: purplemerPharaohs where buried underground thats a fact.

I thought the sacred geometry of the Great Pyramid was commonly known & accepted? You don't think there was sacred geometry, hidden numbers & measurements etc.?
originally posted by: peacefulpeteSuch things don't happen for no reason, like a modern skyscraper doesn't get built and then accidentally find out that it has sacred geometry and hidden references to pi, and measurements of the solar system, etc.

The final example is a variation on the preceding example. Let's assume that the architect decides to specify the angle by the inverse of its slope and also decides to represent that inverse-slope by a fraction with a denominator which divides 28. Let's continue to assume that the architect wants the angle to be between 43o and 55o. The smallest possible value for that inverse-slope would then be 20/28=5/7. That corresponds to the angle ARCTAN(7/5)=54o27'44". The largest possible value for the inverse-slope is 30/28=15/14, corresponding to the angle ARCTAN(14/15)=43o01'30". Thus, under the above assumptions, the inverse-slope would be chosen as one of the fractions 20/28, 21/28, ..., 30/28. There are 11 possible choices. Let's assume that the architect is equally likely to choose any of these possibilities. Thus, with a probability of 1/11, the architect might choose 22/28=11/14 as the inverse-slope. The faces of the resulting pyramid built with that specification would have a slope of 14/11. This turns out to be extremely close to 4/&pi. In fact, 4/&pi=1.273239... and 14/11=1.272727... and the approximation of 4/&pi by 14/11 is accurate to within .04%. Under this scenario, which might seem rather strange at first, the probability that the architect's pyramid would have a slope of 4/&pi with the same accuracy as that exhibited by the Great Pyramid of Khufu is 1/11. The probability is even higher if one assumes that the architect wants to make the angle rather steep. That would correspond to choosing a smaller value for the inverse-slope and therefore make 22/28 a more likely choice.

You disagree with all such notions?

Also I thought it was established that the Egyptian pyramids were NOT tombs.
originally posted by: peacefulpeteI thought there was never a legit tomb or mummy found in any of the pyramids, right? Adjoined temples and structures don't count lol.

Interesting post, I'm not quite sure what the main point was, but surely you don't think that modern people have the same capabilities as those who built the pyramids?
(We don't.)
