There have been innumerable opportunities to cite some of this "hard evidence" and I've addressed all the facts already. You're mistaking what's known about the ancients for what is believed. There is a huge amount known and this is beyond question but most of what's known comes from later ages than the great pyramid building time. I would be a fool to argue about king Tut or Cleopatra because these individuals are fairly well known and the questions that remain unanswered are not the basic questions.
There are very basic questions about the older culture which are not answered. You yourself admit it's not known how the Great Pyramid was built. It's confusing the issue and attempting to get me to paint myself into a corner to bring up extraneous issues. My only point is that I believe I know how the great pyramids were built. This is based on physical evidence and it was primarily the physical evidence which led me to this belief. It's true I believe the PT and the facts of history and science are on my side. But this hardly means that I think all of egyptology is somehow in error. I'm extremely unimpressed with arguments to authority. To suggest that if someone simply weren't so ignorant and would understand if he read a few books is a capitulation.
Of course man has always used brute strenght to do work of all sorts but individuals have sought easier methods and used them. One can do a great deal more work with a shovel than his bare hands and a steam shovel can do far more. If you really want to move earth you could even use a nuclear device. One can work very hard day and night getting an thermonuclear device set up and ready. Indeed, several people can work hard at this and one might just find a few short cuts to make it easier.
THIS IS HUMAN NATURE.
There is some irony in the fact that I think they used ramps isn't there. But the ramps I propose are still visible in places on the great pyramids and are consistent with the evidence that says the stones were raised sequentially from the quarry. They are consistent with the most efficient means of lifting and are consistent with the fact that the stones being lifted are huge and unwieldy being moved in most other manners. They are consistent with the known technology which even includes drills and degassing agents. They are consistent with the caves, fissures and passages under the pyramids. They are consistent with erosion in said passages and the evidence for water on the plateau.
It is merely gravy that they are also consistent with the literal meaning of what the builders said. It's not my fault that this gravy really constitutes a feast in itself.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
