In order to figure out how the pyramids were built, your mind must be set on "simple thinking." Instead of assuming that these giangantic fortresses were built, just assume that they were already in existance before mankind. How? What about the idea of these building being formed by our creator? I believe that these pyramids were once under water volcanoes that were formed in the beginning, when the earth was being formed. As the water recended, sand from the oceans floor covered all but the tops of them. Man just sculptured, in a triangle shaped way, these to basically look nice. As the family grew and the wind blew, more of the pyramid was revealed and man continued to carve this design. This is just a better way of me understanding, not to say its correct, but the thought of me believing that people were inslaved to build the monuments all their lives,especially when the believed in reincarnation, is beyond uncomprehenable.

Now, that doesn't seem like very "simple thinking", oh religious one. I do commend you, however, for having an imagination (something that seems rather skant these days).

There are many inacuracies with your idea, however; but none of them are as interesting to me as the fact that I have just thought of something to poke at you. My only regret is that I cannot be present to see your face and the same expression I have seen on many a pompus face. Reading your post was like a slap in the face. Contradictary (ory? ...spelling eludes me), egocentric, blind sighted, aggrevating, blargh!

Your god is a lesbian.

Enjoy.

Jest2us--ever thought of writing Biblical Fiction? You have a great imagination...

Calm down Unas. You shouldn't throw baseless insults at other people regarding their religions. Point out flaws in them first and make them contradict themselves to death. It's much more fun and intellectually rewarding!

Neilwilkes, you are talking about the Pyramids as if you already firmly know exactly how they were constructed. I am sick to high heaven of people who cannot understand that the Egyptians were dedicated religious people who cared about their religion enough to create such spectacular monuments. It was their firm beliefs and perseverance that got the Pyramids built, and trying to attribute their construction to Aliens, or meteor debris that conveniently fell into a pyramind-shaped block is short sighted and naive. If we had the same vigour as the Egyptians then we could easily construct a Pyramid of even greater size. We have moved heavier objects, built taller buildings, gone into space and tapped the subatomic particles that make up our universe to produce power. But you will notice that we have only been able to make these breakthroughs when there was a true motive to work and to research. The Egyptians were driven by their faith, whilst in my analogy we were driven by war and political tension.

There are still people who believe that man didn't land on the moon. There were encyclopediae published in the early 20th century stating that man would never fly, andf yet you and I know that both are true (the former being irrefutably proved by the fact that NASA and DEFCO still use the laser trigonometry devices on the moon placed there in 1970 to take recordings). Humankind can achieve the most incredible things.
