And I already told you. figure of speech.
But, fyi, none of those walls are a pyramid.
Earthquakes, the sands of time, and all four corners of the pyramids still work fine. Even the inner chambers still work fine.
As with the Hagia Sophia, the Duomo Florence, And several dozen works of architecture equal are more impressive.
And in case you wish to use age as a factor, there's plenty of Egyptian architecture that isn't pyramids that's equally preserved.
If ones purpose was to defend the Pharo and Queen and give them a safe place to ride out a siege, the pyramid is a perfect spot.
Because hiding them in the largest thing known to man with one big stone blocking the main entrance and no way out is perfect........yea you don't have a specialty in military tactics.
Plus, if there were alchemists around they'd all know that the Egytians knew the poison gas secret and how to use it against invading armies. Pyramid shapes means they know the poison methods of fluorite, as well as the ultimate defense against it.
Am I talking to a human or GLADoS?
In Egypt they were not real blessed with nice rocks or Mtns to make a Mt Weather or NORAD Cheyenne Mt. shelter. They had a lot of big stones to build a system they thought was not going to be penetrable in the time it took to set off their killing methods to kill any invading Army.
All those air passages hidden carefully from the outside was for living folks inside to keep breathing. Kings chamber had two air passages and the Queens chamber also two. Mt. Weather and Cheyenne also have high air intake systems and seal off the low levels.
The massive blocks to keep out attackers appear to have been able to actuate from inside, as the idea was to stop entrance from the outside. It is beyond illitarate to suggest a second escape exit from an area so small and so observable. That sort of comment isn't called military insight, but more along the lines of illiterate comments, that don't have basis in strategy. One entrance/exit was fine for them.
Folks that have been around the type gas that the fluorite method makes knows it make a heavy low hanging poison gas, so you put the air intakes up in the higher levels and you conceal them to make it impossible to find them. These things looked more like shelters of safety from invaders that know the methods of this old world toxic gas warfare. As long as the King and Queen are safe, these loyal to them keep fighting. The pyramids looked like a pretty difficult fortress shelter to take for any army of those times. It also appears the Chinese didn't like these toxic warfare methods and that was their reason for such a massive Great Wall to fence these type invaders out.

Alex Jones exposed it on his radio show that they filmed a PBS special where all the world leaders were doing an energy ritual of some sort with some weird music in and around one of the Great Pyramids. The reason that they have that terrible Egyptologist in charge over there is because he's a bought plant - he does whatever they pay him to, and he has contributed greatly to keeping the origins of the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids hidden. Letting the world know that they pre-date their precious "Bible" would kill religion and lead to chaos though, so maybe they are smart for doing it.

The tablet, assuming I am looking at the right one, was written 2000 years after the Great Pyramids were built.
This knowledge would have been lost by then. The pyramids already decaying and abandoned.
Which body was found in the great pyramid and how can you prove that it was the builder or from the same time?
Good question.
I have no idea. But unless someone finds something outside that specific short decades time period, there's no reason to doubt it.
Well actually this is speculation on your part.
I say again. Pyramids in plan look like plants sprouting from the Nile river, growing into time, with the queens at the base, from whom the family tree grows from, and the children by the side..
If every pyramid is aligned this way to show the family history, then you are truely ignorant to say that it must be your way and everyone else is wrong.
Do you see anyone trying to tear them down? They could be easily torn down if desired.

similar to how the water erosion on the Sphinx seems to date it back to at least 10,000 BC. If the Sphinx was carved during that time, there's a good chance the great pyramid was constructed as well. Both are important symbols in the culture, and you never hear of anytime in Egyptian history that the pyramids or Sphinx were not there.
And 10,000 years might have been the end of that time line, the water erosion might have happened 10,000 years ago, but before that event/flood how long was this civilization around??... Who knows how long the builders of the Sphinx and Great Pyramid where around for ... Could be 100's of thousands of years. And as for looking at storys/"myths" that were told regarding these times, why are they considered myths? Trojan war was considered myth till undeniable evidence was found. There are other events that have been said to be myths/legends/folktale but i ask you all if even some of these events were actually true, should we not reevaluate our past and make the proper preperations to rewrite our past. Furthermore, we need to find a way to change how we date things. Last I still have to say IF the universe we live in is infinite (it is still uncertain)how would that change the way we look at all of these things we speak of now. We must start to evolve mentally and the only way that happens is if we change. When evolution occurs what was before is no more, it changes into what is. We will NOT evolve if our views stay the same. In my opinion we are way too advanced to look at a huge structure as the Great Pyramid and other structures similar to it as a mystery. One day I hope we as a civilization look back at our monetary system as a MYTH!edit on 13-2-2012 by tigereye because: (no reason given)edit on 13-2-2012 by tigereye because: (no reason given)edit on 13-2-2012 by tigereye because: (no reason given)edit on 13-2-2012 by tigereye because: (no reason given)

Also it's good to note that the further back you go in Egypt, the bigger the stone blocks are in the structures, some pushing well over 2000 tons.

So you say. I learned how the pyramids were built and looked it up myself. Mystery solved.
But there are tons of different kingdoms and dynasties that resided there. Finding evidence of them, doesn't show when the pyramid was actually built, and furthermore, the problem with that is, the further back you go, the less and less evidence you find, because of geological processes and erosion.
How did they lift a 2000 ton block?
You'd think a society would start small the first time they design a certain structure, and then work their way up to something as amazing as the great pyramid.
When did they start and why is there no evidence of the rise?
How is that speculation? Carbon dating tombs outside of the great pyramid doesn't prove the age of the structure, anymore so than carbon dating a person in NYC walking by the empire state building, or finding a cooking utensil they used in 1990 and determining the age that way. Many people have occupied that building and surround buildings over the years. If we're looking for an accurate proven date, that simply isn't good enough to those that care about scientific evidence, rather than guesswork and speculation. It's similar to claiming creationism is true because DNA is so complex.
That's an interesting guess on why they were built and what it all means, but again it's just a guess. I see it more resembling the constellations and lining up with the sun's path in the sky
Hmmm, the great pyramid is solid stone besides a few paths and chambers. Could you give me some evidence that it would be easy to tear down? I don't see it without advanced weapons and machinery.
The Empire State Building wasn't a tomb, nor was it abandoned.
And actually, if we keep taking the fragments of dna from the building, we will eventually come to the conclusion it was built in the 20s, because it's technology and style is that time period.
A constellation that would have been a measuring tool. Perhaps the Pharaoh was born on the month it was present at a certain location, like astrology. We just don't know.
Our best guesses on where they came from, are based on people that may or may not have been there when they were constructed. It's far from proven.
That's my exact point. We don't know. It's like trying to figure out the origin of life. We have ideas and hypotheses, but nothing definitive yet.

This man has more proof than most anything on these forums.
In another video, they actually found proof in the radar scans.edit on 13-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)
