AS: "These carvings were of enormous religious significance... and you make it sound like "quick sketches" were the best they could manage."


You impose you own spin on what I wrote - why? Actually, what I wrote sounded like "its difficult to draw a circle freehand" - try drawing a circle freehand, and remember the overall composition was important, which often took priority.


AS: "Also, if indeed it was supposed to be a circle, then why isn't it round like a true geometric circle?"


They often are, especially when they are carved in stone - hint: offering slabs.


AS: "If this culture found circles to be SO important that they would encode Pi in a king's pyramid, shouldn't they at the very least find them important enough to draw properly?"


Encoding Pi in a king's pyramid??????? - show me where I said they "encoded Pi in a king's pyramid", and where I have said circles were "SO important".


SO, yet again you are arguing against your preconceived notions of what you think I said - "if you want to debate with me, then debate with what I've actually said, not what you might wish I had said."


AS: "I find the logical contradictions to be stark and frankly, laughable."


Your laughable logical contradictions exist only in your mind. Next time, make a huge intellectual leap forward and address what I actually said - and not "not what you might wish I had said".
