Hi Harte, did you like my method of finding directions, plumb, level, square and disance I played off of your strings and sticks post?
Yeah Marc, we both know that it don't take Aliens to find true North. I appreciate the fact that you are putting the idea out there that the Egyptians built the pyramids. It seems ridiculous that
anyone would have to continually espouse such an obvious idea, but the fact is there are just so many people that believe otherwise, that have been lied to, or whatever, that it continues to be necessary, and probably always will be.

tHE STEPS ARE MY BASE, THA'S NOT NEW? rOAD BUILTT FROM PYRAMID BLOCKS, THAT'S NOT NEW? i DON'T THINK ORIGINAL IDEAS ARE SMALL....
Your idea of using wood rollers is probably older than you are. I have to add that investigations into this have shown that there's just no wood that could stand up to this for more than a few feet without splitting down the middle. This part of your theory is just an extremely inefficient method for splitting rails, in other words.
Of course, that doesn't apply to the
smaller stones that makeup the Great Pyramid. I myself am satisfied with sliding the larger stones on some surface, be that wooden tracks set into the sand, or a road made of pyramid blocks. And I'm not talking about any sled, I'm talking about the bare blocks.

...I get many text's that people love that, that it's funny and adds interest. Different strokes Harte.
I could care less if they respect or like me. I only want a solid rebuke or not.
Well, the way I see it, your theory is as good as any other, pretty much anyway. So you won't get any rebuke from me (did you mean "refute"?) I won't refute it either. See, I wasn't there so I have to say I just don't know
how they did it. I think there are
several possible ways that it
could have been done.

... Have you read where I say you are the guy I need to talk o? And don't mind me I hit my head? If not then that was one deleted. I was trying to tell you from what I saw you were sensible and solid. What does attitude matter in a topic like this?
Attitude doesn't matter to me since, like you pointed out, we are somewhat in agreement. This means that I can assume that your "attitude" is not directed at me personally!
The attitude problem comes in when you have to
convince someone, especially these people that are ready to swear up and down that "the Atlanteans did it!" Hard enough to turn them around, it only makes it harder if you are making fun of them at the same time.

And what is byrd's deal? I had some PM's with mods and it was sad. How do people lie when there's only two people and you both know the deal? And look how much attention that thread got. &000 views in 24 hours and on top of both home page lists. And people are gonna tell me how to do things?
I'm not in any way involved with the administration or moderation of any board on the internet. I'm really not interested in any conflicts you may or may not be having with this or that moderator or administrator. Nor do I care how many "views" this or that thread has gotten, though I guess it's possible that website administrators might be. But I will say that Byrd is a gifted Anthropologist. Not an "armchair" Anthropologist, a
real one. She is aware of most of the archaeological findings having to do with Giza, and their implications. An example of how this applies to your theory is the fairly recent finds of the remains of ramps built next to the Great Pyramid, ramps which do not appear in your theory (unless I missed it.) Additionally, the remains of artificial canals (or moats) have been found leading from the Nile to the pyramid complex, another aspect of the methodology of transporting stone that I do not recall from your theory (again, maybe I'm wrong.)
For my part, I lend a lot of credence to the archaeologists that surmise the methodology of pyramid construction based on their own (or other's) archaeological findings. But I'm the first to say that nobody has nailed the method down yet, and that's the only thing anyone can say for certain, until (possibly) the tomb of Imhotep is found, anyway.
What that means, in short, is that I consider your guess to be as good as anybody elses, almost. When they find relics similar to the rockers you postulate were used to lift the stones, then your theory will rise to the uppermost consideration.

And because I like you if you join there I''l tell YOU FIRST how the big blocks were done.
Building pyramids is about moving blocks quickly, safely, and as cheaply as possible. 2.3 million blocks. You have to be good at moving blocks. If no one can answer the question in the attachment, and that's 101 stuff, if they can't accept how easy it is, what can I do? How can they question me if they can't do the most important task? Step one. All these canes, machines, dragging, sleds, are junk. But they will never UNDERSTAND that, they've never pushed hat weight, scooted a ton with a 3' crowbar.
Marc, I'm already a member of too many boards, I'm not going to join another one right now. But I will stipulate that, if you have been moving large, bulky and extremely heavy objects for years, as you say you have been, then you are certainly in a better position than me to theorize on how large, bulky and extremely heavy objects are moved. The only such object I have moved recently resides within the rear section of my blue jeans. And I must say that I move
that object as seldom as is possible!

I've consulted all the sages I could find in yellow pages but there aren't many of them.
And the Mayan panoramas on my pyramid pajamas haven't helped my little problem.
