(note: people generally aren't going to watch a 15 minute video. It's better to explain what you find interesting and then give the optional link "for more information.) The "internal ramps" has a huge problem in my mind... you could only move one block at a time. That's going to take forever, particularly if there's accidents or if they take their customary breaks for festivals and so forth. I prefer the idea of levers, ropes, and shadoufs (lifting cranes) which means you can have a dozen teams of men working on each of the four sides of the pyramids at once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your just mad because the Vasa's kicked your butts and I heard a Swedish immigrant actually invented Legos. The Ingaevones will always be superior to the Juti and is the source of all British Intellect. Now give me back my friggin pennies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I volunteer at the paleo lab, I use the LEGO minifigs (my "avatar" is the LEGO paleontologist) to show people on my Facebook feed the size of things I'm working on. Very useful metric and more interesting than a coin! Like this one of using a pin vise on some very hard Alaskan rock to remove matrix around a hornlet from a ceraopsian.

They probably worked on all four sides of the pyramid at once, may be working from the centre outwards with the blocks being fed at a high rate from the bogey system they had rigged up in what they call the grand gallery, I think the internal ramp would have only covered maybe two or three levels and who knows, if they built up the middle section of the pyramid first, the ramp could have been used to slide the blocks down into the corners and not up, would have been a lot easier. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
