CHALLENGE to Atheists: How did the Egyptians build the Great Pyramids?
How did they do this over 5000 years ago without the invention of the wheel, according to scientists?
Why do we find perfectly cut granite rectangles, which could only be cut by diamonds, that weigh about 1,500 tons that are around 2000 years old, when it would take 21 heavy duty cranes to lift this block today? Who did this and how did they do it?I take it you have not actually bothered to read this book?
The bible does not say the Earth is "spherical."
Ciax, I like your reply.
.
When I wrote the book about Job, I found and interesting information. Apparently Job was an Engineer and he helped build of great pyramid. However in his book he did not give us an information since he was dealing in other important matters. He becomes sick, poor and lost his children. *** There are also two references in the Bible that the earth is round. Neither science nor church paid attention to it.
BTW I would like to see this pyramid created in modern time.
The correct word is 'supernatural' and not 'divine'. Besides, it doesn't have to be human ingenuity.

but not very believable
It's very easy to gather up all the right ingredients and write a magical story with enough pseudo-scientific elements to capture a few non-critical readers. All in the interests of disinformation, of course!
You speak a lot. Besides, you have no idea of the depth of the subject.
I could go into the details, but it will take much space. But I give you the hint that you are confusing a Rolex watch with a round shaped stone. Even with our space-age technology and computer guided mechines, we can not make a Great Pyramid that can rival the perfection that those Egyptians miraculously achieved in their architectures.
Egyptians had no access to iron. The chisels they used were made of copper. Copper chisels can cut limestone, but they can not successfully cut granite. Even with our most modern wire saws, we would find it hard to cut and shape those massive blocks of granite to the precision that the Egyptians did. The chamber-walls inside the pyramids are so perfectly shaped, that light can almost reflect from them as it does from a mirror. No modern company that specializes in granites, can do that. Not to the level that we find inside the Great Pyramids.
It is next to impossible that human beings performed these miraculous artistry with primitive tools.
How did they do it?
Looking back at the moon landing is just as incredible. Your watch has more computing power. It's amazing to think that it was done with such primitive equipment.
Why the Pyramids can't be built today: insurance costs
Great things at great human cost: DYK that the Great Wall of China bricks are not level but follow the contours of the mountains? Can't do that unless use rice powder in the concrete to make it stronger. Imagine how many people starved to death because the rice was used for building instead of eating.
{Oh yeah - like today we use corn for ethanol}
Plenty other things out there that was done such as in south america where no concrete used the stones are cut so tight - can't put a knife edge into the crease.
Stone of twelve angels
"Cut them with a laser."
This indicates the depth of your knowledge, which is infantile. There is no laser-cutter in the world, that can cut granite more than the depth of a couple of inches.
We are talking about stones 41m tall & 1,267 tons!
(Greekgeek doesn't understand the difference between a bird and an aeroplane.)
The OP keeps insisting that modern cranes can't lift 10 tons to 150 feet. But he's probably talking about mobile cranes like the yellow one in his picture. If you were going to spend 20 years or so building a pyramid, you'd probably erect a static crane like the famous Finnieston Crane in Glasgow, built about 100 years ago to lift steam railway locomotives onto ships:
The crane’s capacity was 175 tons. It is 175 ft high with a 152 ft jib which could make a full revolution, of 1,000 ft at the tip of the jib, in 3½ minutes. It was built by the Carlisle firm Cowans, Sheldon & Co. At the time it was the largest hammerhead crane in Europe.
I'm not saying the ancient Egyptians had one. I think they used ramps and rollers. But I don't like cranes being given a bad name, that's all!
I think it was built by an army of these.
But seriously. Saying God did it, or aliens did it, takes the credit away from the people who did build these structures. And they deserve the credit!
What could you possibly know about what inventions the Ancient Egyptians had? What makes you think the only way to cut rock is with the fancy machines we have today? How egotistical.
Someone with a background in archaeology, please chime in!Not even slightly. I'm mildly amused at your inept trolling, that's all
Well that's not a good thing to base your claims on. What do you believe happened? Even if you were to just guess- what's your gut telling you?
Way to change your answer from "Frustrations" Facts and rationality is better to base claims on.
See? I posted this 27 minutes ago, and I can STILL edit the reply.
That's placing a 10 tons block of stone at the height of 150 meter, using a ramp. Let's talk about gravity. Then equipments. Then how things looked like 4000 years ago.
This is the (disturbing) reality, instead.
Don't feed the troll.
Slow day at work, that's all
Funniest reply yet.
OK - that is even funnier.
You are the one with the sense of humor if you think the bible is a history book.
Yeah? He only took three attempts.
Did you know in August-September in 1999, after learning from their experiences, they were able to successfully erect one? (It was done by Rick Brown) Isn't that neat?Gotta do your research.
No problem. I just wanted to do for Einstein's reputation what I did earlier for cranes
When he mentions god- he's not talking about the god you're thinking of.
Here's a letter he wrote before he died, that actually talks about his views on religion:

Although I don't know what Einstein's beliefs have to do with Pyramid building, but whateverThe product of human weaknesses?
Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, too bad it's wrong again. Here is what Einstein said about your god from the "famous God letter"...
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."
Entirely false, it was John Dalton and Thomas Thomson between 1803 and 1805.
Or, maybe because it is a complete waste of manpower and resources to build such monuments in the name of one man.
Of course, there are still egomaniacs who do such things...
LOL
They can. Where slave labour is still the norm. Any idea how tall this monstrosity is?
Monstrosity is correct. They should have stopped while they were winning, with the beautiful Burj al Arab
Now, that's something you couldn't build with inclined planes and rollers. . .Show the reality, instead of a 3D rendering. This is a building named Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai.
Surely they didn't build this building with 70 tons stone-blocks. The construction company that built this building, had only 3 cranes, with the maximum lifting capacity of 25 tons.
It is difficult to rebuild this even today. And there is no certainty that we have the technology to rebuild the Great Pyramid.Everyone knows that the Washington Monument is an observatory (therefore, it's a hollow structure). There is nothing inside the building except stairs and an elevator shaft.
The thickness of monument walls at observation level is only 18 inches. It's no competition to the Great Pyramid.
Yonaguni Monument
http://news.nationalgeographic.co.in/ne … -city.htmlYou do know this is the same troll as the genea troll and the ciax troll and several others that got banned - right?
I did suspect so - but others are also in these threads and I am enjoying this particular discussion
I used to build the kind of things that are being discussed although I have never attempted a pyramid.
The underwater thingy however - I can actually do what I claim and was hoping someone would challenge me on it
Nice to see you back here defending reason again !Show me how you can build it!
And as for Atlantis. . .
