its seems the whole egyptian society was based around building pyramids for their pharaoh.
unlike america, which seems based around tweeting, instead of furthering the advancement and prestige of their country.
also, we have power tools, electricity, heavy machinery, yet i still don't see anything since those things were invented that could rival the roman coliseum in construction and quality in its heyday.edit on 19-5-2012 by randomname because: (no reason given)
Unless each slave was bionic man and had laser precision palm work as well as a deep understanding of mathematics then I can't help but naturally refuse this stance.

Thats a myth the majority of people who built the pyramids where just farmers and normal town people.

i always laugh when i hear this 50,000 slave workforce bull crap!
so all the farmers in egypt had to grow food for the country,storage, and all those slaves?!!!!
the growing season there isn't that long!
even if the slaves were starved,that kind of physical work would make em drop like flies,so you would need back up slaves to feed,as well as an an army constantly on the move gathering more slaves.

They weren't built by "slaves". They were regular Egyptian people who became paid laborers and eventually were honored for their work by being buried next to the pyramid itself. Slaves would not be revered as much, and I highly doubt foreigners would take part in a such a sacred building project.
I just needed to clarify that, because it's a common misconception that a mass amount of slaves took part in the construction of the pyramids.
There's evidence in favor of "workers constructing the pyramids". Even though they didn't leave written records of their construction methods, that doesn't automatically mean alien intervention. There's a progressive stage of pyramid building from simple burial graves, to mastabas, to the step pyramid and then the true pyramid. Yes, the Giza Pyramids, specifically, are an enigma to us all, but that doesn't mean we can suddenly jump to conclusions.

Were you there at the time?
Honestly, it takes another level of ignorance to insinuate that farmers and "normal town people" encoded the speed of light and other principles in their, already advanced and complicated structure.
Ignorance on another level. I'll just never understand it. It's just naturally something I cannot accept.
