I'm suprised this link got no responses, the pyramids are facinating to me..., think about it, we cannot duplicate them even with our advanced technology..

One recent discovery is that the walls of the Great Pyramid are concave and not flat as previously thought..

Anyone care to guess the reason for this???

Like you Gregg, I think the Pyramids are truly amazing. I think it's just that perhaps people expected to see photos in your link and there's A LOT to read in that link you posted.

People may post in this thread now cause I'm posting these images:

Random information pulled from site:

the Great Pyramid covers an area large enough to hold 10 football fields, 7 soccer fields, 27 miles of sidewalk, or 250 single story, two bedroom homes.

Nobody explain how 47 centuries ago, with no surveying knowledge or technology, no earth moving, grading or leveling devices, and no understanding of geology that anyone could level a massive area almost 600,000 square feet level to within ½ of an inch of perfect. Without tools and technology it would be almost impossible to level even a small parking lot with such accuracy. Almost 5000 years of incredible advances in construction techniques and equipment and it is doubtful such an achievement could be duplicated even today. Major industrial contractors not only say it is not possible but are at a loss to explain how it could have been done originally. And this is the foundation, the beginning, not the whole structure. :dunno

I've always watched documentaries on the Pyramids when time would allow Chris and the most interesting one was the one that found evidence of sea life (crustations?) about 3/4th's the way up the largest pryamid and they were able to date this back 11,800 years ago to the erruption at Thera when the land bridge at Gilbralter was opened and gave us the Mediterrean Sea..

Here's a tidbit of what that took from us though...

www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0...sm.08.html

GLENN VAN ZUTPIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): They're among the cities described in Greek tragedies, and after two years of searching, archaeologists have finally found the so-called "lost cities" off the northern coast of Egypt.

The maritime explorers, led by a French archaeologist, uncovered statues, houses, and temples, where the ancient cities of Herakleion, Canopus, and Menouthis once stood. Among the relics divers pulled from the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, a life-sized black granite statue of the fertility goddess Isis.

------------------------------

Anyway, it pretty obvious that a great civilization, probably many, predated the history we are given, certainly by many 1000's of years.. Estimates are that the Pyramids are closer to 40,000 years in age while the Sphinx may be 100,000 years old or older may very well be true.

Good link on the Sphinx here..

This put the Sphinx as 10,000 + years old but using wind erosion measurment standards it's much older than that..

www.nmia.com/~sphinx/egyptian_sphinx.html

Age of the Sphinx

The traditional and probably still majority view is that the Great Sphinx was built at the same time as the nearby Pyramid of Khafre (Khaf-Ra, Chephren) in about 2540 B.C.E. The face of the Great Sphinx has been thought to be Khafre's, though recent evidence casts doubt on this notion (see below).

However there has been lively debate in recent years arguing that it may be anywhere from two to four times that old. John Anthony West first noticed weathering patterns on the Sphinx that were consistent with water erosion rather than erosion produced by wind and sand. These patterns were not found on other structures on the plateau. Geologist Robert Schock agreed that water erosion was in evidence.

Egypt is arid today, but about 10,000 years ago the land was wet and rainy. West and Schock conclude the Sphinx must be on the order of 7,000 to 10,000 years old in order to have the marks of water erosion they found.

So Gregg, have you visited Egypt? Bonnie (one of the Sisters drummers) lived there for 2 years and said apart from the stunning pyramids, life was pretty strange there. She's Chinese and learnt arabic whilst she was there. She said it was definitely sexist and you felt better covered up. She would have preferred not to have lived there!! I'd like to visit the Pyramids but have no burning desire to do so.

Never been therte Chris but I would like to go someday. An xbrother-in-law was there and he told ne that if you're at the pryamids what is just as facinating is when the City of Cairo has their evening prayers.., the whole city can be heard from there, I guess it's something you have to witness..

Now a lady friend of mine lived there for a few years also and didn't like it there either. Seems a woman that travels alone is considered less than pure or something similar and the general attitude is whatever happens to her is her fault.., meaning often the worst. But when her then husband was with her she had nothing to worry about.

Interesting story she told me about the pyramids. She would visit them often and one day she was feeling sick, something about a cold that wouldn't go away so a guide she knew took her to this chamber that was off the tourist trail and told her to remain there alone for a few hours. Now what happened to her next she really couldn't describe in detail, she just said she never experianced anything so beautiful in her life and here illness vanished in that time frame and she never felt better than she did for the next few weeks after..

It would be amazing to know all of the secrets of the pryamids.., the worls must have been a pretty interesting place when they were being built allright..

I don't know about the opening statements about some Chrystal Pryamid, that's for the movies but the structurs off the cost of Japan..., that is certainly man-made.., great images..

They are amazing things!! .... I work in construction and even with today's tech, they still cant get it right!!

In a nutshell, my personal opinion is, we have been here before, been wiped out and started again.......... so in the future we may be able to build such wonderful things!!

What's the most wonderful thing that modern man has constructed? Aren't they called something like the '7th wonders of the modern world"? :dunno

Chris?....

I am not 100% sure, but I dont think, even with todays machinery and tech, we could build a pyrimid?? as I say I might be wrong...

Yes that's right Paul, even today we couldn't build a pyramid of that size!! SO I guess we have to ask an engineer what's the most amazing modern construction today!! Do we have any engineers that visit Blah Blah?!?!? :dunno

Come on, any engineers here??

Steve Hall might know or Bud... he's very knowlegable!!

Steve would know but I haven't seen him around for awhile. Summer can do that to people :banana

Wonder if Bud has any theories?

OBVIOUSLY, pyramids etc were made either by or under the direction of spacemen. obviously. (remember my song Spaceman anybody? i'll have to see if i even have a copy of it.)
