If you want TOPIC, read a couple of posts up.
Repeatedly posting shouting the word TOPIC at people, isn't actually on topic you know!
It's closer to trolling than anything else.

As a matter of fact, I don't hold religious beliefs (and have no desire to 'change you' ), i consider myself mature enough to determine my own destiny and course through life, without requiring a man made superstitious control mechanism to instruct me on how to behave.
See how assumption can be incorrect?

A bit like assuming those conventional and mainstream archaeologists reporting on and instructing us regarding historic structures such as the pyramids are accurate in what they tell us.

I tend not to put my 'faith' in the accuracy of information given to me by mainstream science, as there are many examples i have found on my travels through this life, where information long cherished and held as absolute fact, has been shown to be completely wrong.
Other times, alternative information or facts discovered, that do not fit well with accepted dogma, together with the people that have tried to present them, have been ignored and ostracized.

This is not what science is about.
The time-lines for, and techniques utilized in construction of ancient structures reported and instructed by the 'mainstream' is, i suspect, no different.

I gave evidence (actually Heliopolis gave) that had a theory on how the blocks were moved by humans. Now it is "no good" because it is "mainstream"? Well, I am not mainstream. So if I make an uneducated thread with apparently outlandish claims that "Egyptians made the pyramids" it is more believable?

Why all the demand for the "human records"? (IE supply lists, receipts)
Why are you not as demanding for the "magic records"? (IE Aliens, etc)?
Why am I "ignorant" and other insults, because I am demanding?
(Also note, I have never said that I support Egyptians building the pyramids 100%. I just stated that it is the most likely solution.)
(EDIT)
The poster I am responding to has not been insulting, though I have been insulted for my stance.

The Original Builders used water locks from the Nile River up to the building site to bring stones on barges up to where the Great Pyramid was built. This system used by the Original Builders is simple but very sophisticated. The Great Pyramid was built level by level. The first layer of casing stones were set in place and bonded together. This created a wall of casing stones. This area was filled with water and the casing stones impounded a pond.
