WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS??

Actually we're talking about ca 5000 years ago, something that also supports the idea that the Great Pyramid is the "tombstone" of Adam who died around then.

Well if that is how you look at the Great Pyramid, it's no wonder you can believe that slaves dragged 2,300,000 blocks of stone with an average weight of 2.5 tons each, to build the 140 meter high structure and place the stones so accurately it would be impossible to recreate it even today.

From The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh by W. M. Flinders Petrie, touregypt.net...

"Though the stones were brought as close as 1/500 inch, or, in fact, into contact, and the mean opening of the joint was but 1/50 inch, yet the builders managed to fill the joint with cement, despite the great area of it, and the weight of the stone to be moved�some 16 tons. To merely place such stones in exact contact at the sides would be careful work ; but to do so with cement in the joint seems almost impossible."

Now, even if the Cathedral of Notredam is impressive, it's not even close to the Great Pyramid.

This WAS duplicated in modern times, and through numerous experiments. (at least as well as it could be, without the thousands of slaves used in the original). Most give ancient man far too little credit.

Due to the precision of which they were built I believe that something out of the ordinary was involved. It is also odd the similarities between the great pyramid of Giza and the pyramid of the sun at Teotihuacan. If I remember correctly I think the Pyramid of the sun is only 4 inches smaller at the base. This may not be completely accurate though. I always find it remarkable how advanced the Mayan and Egyptians were which raises the question: Were they brilliant or were they visited?

i heard theorys of the city of atlantis parting onto the two continents and using their similar technology to build the pyramids

A 1:1 scale duplicate of the Great Pyramid? Where is it?
