What is it with you and pulleys?
I'm having all sorts of issues believing what I'm told. Splitting limestone is straightforward enough, and I think we've got to the bottom of how...
So you're saying they did have metal tools at Giza?
Holes. What about the bloody holes?:mad:
Actually, I misread your post Matt. I'd say they were all cut out flat. They would have dressed the front surface while the stone was in situ I'd...
Again, the unfinished piece (which is bloody huge) is surrounded by a trench no more than a couple of feet wide, and the bigger the trench, the...
Don't you need a passport to get on this forum these days?:mad:

I'm not pulling any legs, and I'm no conspiracy theorist, I don't believe in aliens either. But I think the historians have got it wrong.
Right, let me explain again. I get the pivoting idea, I get the splitting with wedges idea, but in the very first instance of moving that block it...
Answer your pm.
You're still insulting me. Why are you insulting me? And you still haven't answered the question.
Bear in mind we're talking about 200 ton plus stones here; they would have carved round the sides, then presumably tunnelled underneath the stone,...
Fail. Where exactly in that text does it say how they lifted it out of the ground??? You're so preoccupied with talking down to me that you're...
Properly read what? Where in that text (or any other) does it tell you how those blocks were lifted out of the ground? And why do you continue to...
Matthew:mad:
You could have ten thousand blokes around a 400 ton block, but if all they've got is wood and ropes they still ain't gonna move it.
