Hans Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > They called them tombs. All that needs to be done is prove this one simple statement applied to G1 (or any great pyramid) and I will concede they were tombs. It would make a very convincing argument that great pyramids were tombs. But instead we are left with no direct evidence any great pyramid was intended or used asby cladking - Ancient Egypt
Simple logic is sufficient to show you are wrong. If the pyramid builders had ever once said any great pyramid was intended or used as a tomb Egyptology would cite that as proof they were tombs. The fact is the builders said the pyramid was the king and his tomb was in heaven to which he ascended on a cloud of incense. They never once said the great pyramids were tombs or any king was burby cladking - Ancient Egypt
There's no evidence of the pyramid being used as a determinative for "tomb" until after the great pyramid building age. The piles of rubble being called "pyramids" is confounding the issue.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
Same ol', same ol'. There is no room made for a distinction between the great pyramids built first and the tiny little piles of rubble that came later.

Many things are simply true by definition. A line parallel to the base of a three dimensional structure can not represent a sloped ramp and a shaft that meets the exterior at nearly a right angle can not be longer than a horizontal line that forms an hypotenuse. If something true by definition doesn't make sense to you then you are using the "wrong" definitions. Parsing sentencby cladking - Ancient Egypt

So you just -snipped- the part where I observed they could just leave them where they stopped over the summer. How many days of snow indeed!!! It just took one.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
As load increases on a sled you merely increase the length and width of the runners. So long as the pounds per square inch doesn't melt all the snow under them or it's it's too cold for the pressure to melt the surface of the snow a sled has virtually zero friction. Since virtually all the work associated with moving stones horizontally is caused by friction there is very littleby cladking - Ancient Egypt
Quote"Dr Campbell Price said the "efficient movement of large numbers of ancient monuments" has never been fully explained." This is an understatement!!! Steven Tasker's machine wouldn't work up ramps even if they were 15 feet wide. The primary difficulty and work imposed by moving stones horizontally is simple friction.
