"I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!"

Yup, and now add a couple of hundred years and a dozen generations of passed down knowledge and improvement to the technology, and one find out that the Pyramids arent that amazing.

or not........do you have any reason for this prediction other than your own guess? a couple hundred years ago there was likely someone who felt certain of that same thought, but after 200 years of study we did not get those answers as hoped.

Eh? My comment was about the pyramids. The Egyptions learned how to make smaller buildings... And larger... And larger... After a couple of hundred years (or thousands) the impressive achievement that is the Pyramid is the work of generations of passed down knowledge, on a scale we cant even comprehend in our current on-demand fastlane society.
Coral Castle shows that someone with determination can learn ALOT and do amazing things. The Egyptians didnt have any choice.

I didn't think that your comment was about anything other than the pyramids. I only pointed out that since it was nearly 200 years ago that a group of French scientists examined the Giza pyramid in detail, it is very possible that someone back then assumed the same thing that you have. They were incorrect, though. That's all I meant to convey. I have studied the statistics and theories about the Giza pyramid for over 20 years, and there are numerous qualities it possesses that are still unexplained as to how they were known and/or carried out. Many of them are mysteries that, even with our present technological knowledge, aren't able to be duplicated.

Question:
Have you ever built a pyramid? Have you built something big in stone at all?
20 years worth of "stastistics" and "theories", pff... The egyptians had hundreds of years of PRACTICAL knowledge.

You guessed it........I haven't. I guess my points are all invalid by default then. No point in bothering to actually look at the evidence yourself and read the various theories, rebuttals, and descriptions of the remaining puzzles then.
Instead, just move on to the next subject, cuz clearly you have now made my inquiries and knowledge irrelevent.
I am well aware that in theory there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.
