Nancy Pelosi deemed them to be weightless until they were in place.

Sometimes it’s better to be dumb. If they hadn’t figured it out, maybe they wouldn’t wasted all that time building the pyramids.

Good to remember when Obama enslaves the masses to build his pyramid.

dampening the sand in front of the primitive device reduces friction on the sled, making it easier to operate.Let me see if I've got this straight? If the surface is wet, the coefficient of friction is reduced?? Wow, maybe that explains why I go into wild spins every time I drive in the rain! Maybe next time I'll try slowing down in the rain!
Who knew???

I agree, although I don’t think this applies to the pyramids, only to those gi-normous statues (some as heavy as 350 tons).

Not as big of a stonewall as the Obama regime.

I like what Thoreau said about it — the peasants should’ve thrown the pharoah in the Nile.

Seemed like a waste, but then they got up high enough to be able to see their houses from up there. :’) Most of the time spent building the Great Pyramid (and most of the others) was spent getting to the halfway point in height, which is where most of the mass is; the top half involved more climbing, but only a fraction of the mass, and was probably finished in 2 or 3 years. :’)
