Because your forearm (the cubit measure) is approximately 28 fingerwidths in length. At one point a number of us checked this out, and the number varies slightly (because of differences in growth) but on the average it's 28.

You've made a few assumptions that aren't correct. Not all rocks are made of silica. In this case, the rock is limestone, which is the compressed bodies of sea creatures and corals. So the correct formula is CaCO3 (reference: [
encarta.msn.com] and many other pages.) It was sheathed in granite, which is a rock whose composition depends on where it comes from and is more than pure silica: [

Seth actually wasn't an air god -- he was the god of the desert. TourEgypt has a very nice page on the gods that you an use as a reference if you like: [

That concept was taken directly from Star Trek. I think we can prove to your satisfaction that the writers of Star Trek (Harlan Ellison, James Blish, and others) did not build the pyramids. Ellison is as short as I am and wouldn't stand for any king telling him to go off and build a heap of stone.

I'd like to point out that the temple was heavily damaged and has been restored. We don't know completely what the place originally looked like.

If they knew chemistry, then why didn't they name the elements and refer to them in carvings and paintings? Why was the chemistry of their manufactured items (like faience) so wildly variable in quality and composition?
