Did You Know? Over 90% of Mount Rushmore was carved using dynamite. Dynamite blasts removed approximately 450,000 tons of rock from the mountain.

Don't you mean when the possible "Restoration" during Khufu's life was carried out? His workmen cutting and placing the restoration blocks on the outside couldn't match the quality of the blocks from the "original" construction from a much much earlier ancient period not to mention the perfection of the inner blocks...
Just a theory some have.
Carry on.

Also: how come these ancients built these structures to warn us of a catastrophe that they suffered....so when did they build the warning? Cannot be afterwards it had to be before. In which case they knew what was going to happen. In which case why build a building that can withstand the catastrophe and yet you still allow the rest of your civilization to be destroyed. Sorry illogical. At the very least there should be a hidden cache of art, artifacts and technology. Even the plastic goo left over ! Or even better, the hidden vault has the technology inscribed on the stone work.

Phi gives superior acoustics in speaker wire design
Cardas Audio uses a patented design (U.S. Patent Number 4,628,151) for speaker wires that is based on the golden section. Each strand is in a phi proportion to the others.
According to Cardas:
"Alternating current can shake a wire like a guitar string. The signal's cyclic effect causes all the wire in the system to vibrate and ring to the resonance of the alternating current. Each and every strand in a cable has its own note or beat. Two or more wires of the same mass and tension have common resonating points and share the same note.
There is only one way to eliminate the harmonic or resonant effect produced by the conductor itself. Create a multiple strand conductor, where the individual strands share no common mathematical node or resonant point and in effect absorb or cancel the noise they each create.
The infinitely indivisible progression known as the golden section is the key to resonance control. No other cable geometry, no other conductor design, can create the listening magic of Golden Section Stranding. In Golden Section Stranding, strands are arranged so that every strand is coupled to another, whose note is irrational with its own dissipating conductor resonance. This creates a silenced conductor, allowing Cardas cable to produce the purest possible audio signal. No other cable geometry, no other conductor design, can create the listening magic of Golden Section Stranding."

there are pyramid granite blocks that have large, deep, drilled holes with narrow spiral grooves cut in them that CLEARLY indicate the ancient Egyptians used a form of drilling with drill bits that could cut through granite. Making them would be a challenge even to current technology. Read his study of the evidence. Then perhaps you won't make statements that are totally uninformed. Copper chisels simply does not cut it!

How do you propose those cuts were made in those black stones around the pyramid? The ones that look like they were cut with modern saw blades?

Hello
I am not sure of the location. They did appear to be paving stones. They were in the section of the docuemntary showing the side by side cuts with modern cut stone. Thin deep lines.
Are you famiiar with Puma Punku (sp)
They had even more incredible lines in these stones that appear to be far too prcise to be done by hand on such large stones. It is possible these people had some incredible sotne working abilties developed over time but I find this less plausible than past advanced civilizations.
