This came at an opportune time. :’)
Very good article.
I know that tourists like to go view “the big show”, like the pyramids and the Sphinx. Since I am a calligrapher, the opportunity to look over some of the oldest papyri ever discovered would be just super!
Most people do not know that the oldest known writing began in copper mining camps in the mountains of Sinai. The first examples all were found to be written by a ‘leftie’; an individual who wrote left-handed and was probably a mining engineer due to context of the writing.
Doesn’t mention any stones being ‘poured’ as far as I can see.
Have you ever seen any stories/videos on the ‘Coral Garden” in Florida that was constructed by one little Danish man who claimed he had figured out the secret of the construction technique that enabled the building of the Pyramids?
Per our previous comments, simply hewing, dressing, and dragging 2.5 ton stones to the construction area and setting them in place with an exactness that amazes at a rate of one every seven seconds or so doesn’t compute.
