"To build at Giza with Hand Tools , Elbow Grease, and BACKS...Demanded that the Planners and Foremen,Lead hands, and even the lowliest of water carriers all function at a level that Makes We of the 21st century.... appear Slothful in comparison.

What the HARD EVIDENCE at Giza shows us is Mankind at his best. Doing what Needed to be done with what they had ."

The magnitude of design that went into the GP, there had to be so much planning and gumption and , " If this doesn't work we will try this." assertion.....Meaning if something fell or screwed up , they persevered. The architecture is intense and there was so much thought out.
Today, there are few individuals who will work hard.
Sloth, yes, the computer has its virtues and also has its evils. It has replaced man power and some of man's thinking power that was used on the job when foremen and others were on duty. Now, it's punch the computer. Sad in ways, it slows down man's personal creative functions in a way. I am not talking about the big boy in charge, I am talking about the middle man who had to think at his job and be creative and use ingenuity. I do not know how long it took to build the GP. I have read different scenarios. I think a big problem is that few people understand the GP as far as being in it and seeing the actual block and joints, seams...headers.the building itself. Not plans, the actual structure. Even in the sub chamber there is wild building strategy. Now think about it. To go from down there all of the way to the top with all of that stuff in between. Wow....we do not have anything like that in the world to day that I am aware of. Please say if there is anyone. I do not know.

OH, I have always had this thought.I may be wrong, but, I use to do numbers and when people come out and say that Pi is in the pyramid and this and that..well, of course it is to some extent as it is a standard of measure and it is applied to aspects. If the AE didn't know what the exact numbers were that modern man has associated with it, they had their own system to figure out base measurements and circumferences and it is not that far off from what we use to day. But, it is not mystical, it is function and engineering principles of calculating what needs to be how long, how tall , wide, this and that and so on and so forth. I do not see the mystique to Pi when people say."Oh .look, the GP has Pi...." It has Pi because the person who is looking at the measurements is applying Pi to them and using it. What makes people think that their Pi was our PI in modern times? Because some people look at the pyramid and suggest that it embodies hemispheres, star alignments and other things. Some star alignments, maybe......but, not all I do not think that I have seen that have been written about. Ancient man did have awareness of the skies and of astronomy and it is not mystical for ancient man to use astronomy for layout of a structure. It is practical and functional, not mystical. I think some people get confused. Or maybe I am. I just do not see the GP as a gift from aliens. I have more faith in human intelligence to be able to calculate and figure. Or hand down info on the stars after generations of staring at them at night and following their course. What else did most AE have to do at night besides sleep? They did not go to discos, watch TV or play computer games. A lot of them might have watched the evening skies at night.
