Maybe I’m saying that. The fact is, however, no one can explain how the Egyptians erected all those obelisks, or even how they carved them out of solid granite. Thousands of slaves, maybe, but that’s what the pulleys attempted to simulate. Throwing around a couple tons of boulders is one thing. Actually constructing something out of 1,000 ton pieces of sculpted granite is another. But then again, I don’t really know what I’m saying, do I?

There is another guy I see from time to time on the History Channel that has erected several very tall obelisks (50 feet) using the sand pit method. You still have to get it higher flat but they stand right up. Still there is a serious mystery as to how the old tribes did all this stone moving without killing their societies.
