Hi pyramid watchers.
Why, despite the existence of millions of tons of stone, carved presumably with copper chisels, has not one copper chisel ever been found on the Giza Plateau?
Here could be the answer :

Also, the answer is in the link of the second line of my signature.
Blue skies.
Not being an engineer, I think that the reconstituted limestone theory is the best one going right now. It's the option that best fits what we know and gets around the issues (like how big the ramp would have to be to lift the stones manually) in a way that makes sense.

Because the Egyptians stared at the sky and Orion was right above them, as they were on the equator.

So I continued watching the first video. It was well put together though the narator could have done better.
It still seems rather fishy to me. However if I was able to build a small scale model of this pyramid electric idea I could prove of disprove this.
either way...for science!

Makes sense. But how can they get it down to the T? They didnt have computers to calculate rather than their eyes. And if you go by your eyes you are going to be 99.9% wrong.

Because they were resourceful. Here's a few ways we know they used high tech procedures with low tech equipment.
They used water as a precision leveler. They would dig a grid formation, and then pour in water, cutting the dirt to the brim, thus fabricating very precise gravity aided flat surfaces.
As early as 6000 years ago, they build stonehenge like formations in order to trace the stars in the sky. Places like Nabta Playa show these to be very primitive, but the beginnings of something more advanced.
Eventually they discovered that the stars, in fact, were computational laser beams. They produced wave patterns with the motion of the earth, and predicted seasons an coming changes. They began using this freely available computer and precision measuring machine. They would put a pole on these flat surfaces, and orbit it to create a perfect circle. Then they built a ring structure above this circle, and at night, they look at a star from the central pole and mark on the ring where the star rose above the top of the ring wall. Then they would mark when it set past the opposite side. From this, they had a precise mark for west and east.
At some point in time, they discovered the golden ratio and began to integrate it into these designs. Over time, this is what they used for precise rotation and circles.
All this culminated in a sophisticated set of tools. The stars were so precise they could mark perfect cuts on the axis and line up with anything. They learned how to use the world they were born into to produce sophisticated works of man.edit on 7-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)edit on 7-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)edit on 7-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: Le Spellingedit on 7-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)edit on 7-2-2012 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

Definitely flagging this to watch later, I love everything and anything that is about the Egyptians! Thanks for posting!
On a side note, I also completely believe that the ancient Egyptians were connected with/in communication with an advanced knowledge/civilization that we could only hope the encounter. Who knows though...2012 is already shaping up to be a weird year!
All the best,
