Check out this for accuracy in building, the book would have to be a good read. Reckon if the Gypo's could do this **** then the kink in the pyramid posted by the Doctor are there deliberately

^ here's my guess.

it was known from back in the day of the greeks that long straight lines looked curved or cambered. the greeks built long post and beam arrangemnts with a camber so when you stood back and looked at the building the parapet or top line look to be level.


could be with the pyramid a long straight side would look bowed so they put a v into it to make it look straight.






this is actually a really good point. the greeks often bowed columns to be wide in the middle so they looked straight.

This pic looks like it has four sides.

Doc I think in your pic the light is playing a major part in how it looks.


I think light has a lot to do with how everything looks.

Imagine what these guys could have achieved with computers.

Freemasonry was explained to me in a lecture as not only the guild that protected all the building knowledge, but one that preserved it. Masons were free men as opposed to virtually everyone else bar the landowners, but only by virtue of the knowledge they had, hence the requirement to contain it. Shame it did not catch on for everything.

Makes you relise the age old rivalry with the catholic church. Having to pay a bunch of unionists to build their edifices

Got to bear in mind that they were gleaming white as well. It is anybodys guess what they must have looked like but if the precision with which the foundations were built is anything to go by when they were rendered flat white surfaces in that sun they must have stuck out like dogs balls.

I reckon they were navigational systems for David Ickes mates

to complicate maters further i read the sides are curved and the radius matches the radius of the earth

That makes sense, as I believe they used water trenches instead of spirit levels

Just come across this interview on Project Camelot. It discusses a video taken by someone on a phone of nocturnal excavations being undertaken just recently at the Giza Plateau.

It comes across as being genuine. The participants are all researchers from different sides of the spectrum. Apparently there has been some fairly intensive excavation and removal of "stuff".

Make of it what you will.

Really? I have heard of roads built that way.

As for the pyramids, I read that a mysterious force causes all locals within 2kms to ride camels, and sell trinkets to tourists.

Panda they probably could - if they saw it as functional.

it is only us in these modern enlightened times who need to waste money on making monstrosities to prove our cleverness (to whom, I ask?) whilst millions starve and fade away through il health.....

Funny that because this is what Mark_Egypt said 3000 years ago on an Egyption forum (a stone one of course) regarding the government of the day building stupidly large and somewhat useless buildings. Little did he realise that those useless buildings have put more into the Egyptian economy than any other hair brained idea of the day (then & now), thereby providing better services and living standards for the future generations.

Now I wont spell out the correlation of this parable with the Sydney Opera house, but 99% of foreigners when asked what's the first thing that comes to their mind when they think of Australia, that "waste of money" is the answer. Pretty valuable asset in my mind.

PS - I have to disclose that I am at the creative end of the building industry and am somewhat one eyed on the subject

Not sure that is right.

Built with slave labour and one could argue Egypt didn't have an economy as such when they were built.

Nobody then paid any real interest in them for 3,000 years until the first archeological expedition in about 1860, except grave robbers, who working illegally probably didn't do that much for the economy.

Bit of tourism since 1870.

I would say the Suez canal has probably done more, or the Aswan dam, or the port of Alexandria, or even the tunnels across the Gaza ? Israeli border, or maybe palm oil even.

I don't know, just guessing there is more to Egypt than the pyramids
