I agree that some of the smaller stones could have been moved in this manner, but surely there are some things we still don't understand about the manipulation of massively huge stones................. (Non intelligent ramblings deleted)

One more quick note, completly unproven as of yet, but, when the pyramids on (other) planets are discovered, and they will be, what will you say then? Of course, we cant discuss that now because the proof is not there. (yet). Wrap your massive brain around that one in a civil manner if you can, probably not though.

Very good point about the giants, and their is proof they existed. I know, I know, where are the links? where is your proof? What has this to do with my theory? Marc, you can probably put stones together like you said, but there is much more to pyramid building than that. Tell us how the andesite was cut and polished, not from the egypt pyramids mind you, but the other ones. Look at the pyramids from the entire planet. Were they ALL built as you say in your theory? All of them? Cant wait for my spanking on this one, please try to be kind.

the four sided triangle is one of the most base of mathmatical understandings...
marcs method of leveling is only unique in the "intestional" method, and there were more reliable, and more dependable methods available (wax lined wood tube for one) which is MY original theory... so dont steal it marc...
How were they stablized? Explain how and when the casing sones were set. Explain how o get long heavy blocks around corners. Explain how to move the blocks at all.
but from a common sense standpoint, it seems that a lot of reinforcement would have been neccessary to support the weight of a stone, along the edges of the ramp...
So I would enjoy trying to understand this raising method that marc speculates on more, but have yet to see a "method to the madness" that would insure strong enough materials, to support the weight, while not crushing them from use...
(metal Lincoln logs might work, but would still misshape with use...)
but if they were merely shim thickness, then more could be used for the perfection required...

There's no references to a paved road from the quarry. Since that would be a really significant find, I think that it didn't exist.

I really wanted to get marc to ramble on about his massive brain again.
since i have shown at least 1% prof he is wrong
Where? And if you want me to talk about my COLOSSAL brain, just ask, maybe I'll start a thread.
like he said could'nt be done.
But I am even more happy about the dam theory, I'm with you on the big dam
I love it and the intestines of animals were used as snorkels

is their anyone here at this board capable of debating a WORLDWIDE pyramid building knowledge base. Actually, Master Marc should have issued this challenge to you all, not me. Good luck to you all.

Perfect for plumb, but not for level. But water is.

I take back my repeated claim of them being indestructable.
Take out of water bucket, fill to top, check level, put back in bucket. I understand the stone sucks a couple of gazillion gallons a second through intestine but maybe they were real fast.
you've never used a water level. Have you?
The tools that they do have pictured are made out of wood and very durable.
Stop acting like I know knothing about this.
You seem to be unfamiliar with the materials available to the ancient Egyptians and with their tools and technologies. You don't seem to be familiar with the quarries themselves or the texts that they left behind.
All you've done is say "I know how it's done" -- with modern materials.
And all the rest of your message shows that you've done this ONLY as a "thought experiment" after having a lot of experience as a laborer with modern materials and modern transportation and modern buildings. You haven't done a thing to prove that THEY did it that way.
In fact, you haven't proved that it's workable with the materials they had.
Until you do that, your theory is no more reliable than "it was built overnight by genies."
For those of you who would like to read a reasonably up-to-date page (somewhat dull but accurate) on what IS known (from writing, tombs, and digs) about pyramid construction, here's a page that reviews it. It's pretty neat stuff! :
