The Persian Gulf? Iran? Is the "Hall of Records" code for Shushan the palace? Or Abadan, the place of destruction in the Iran-Iraq war...
Must have missed this on the way through the topics. Funny, there's only 1.3 million of 'em...

[ping, with a reprise clipped from one of my replies in another topic]
In "COUNTING THE STONES: How Many Blocks in Khufu's Great Pyramid?" by Anthony Sakovich, KMT A MODERN JOURNAL OF ANCIENT EGYPT, VOLUME 13, Number 3, FALL 2002, a number of approximately 4 million is given for the number of stones in the Khufu pyramid. The largest stones are some of the corbels, the rest vary a great deal in size. The most common size runs about 2 tons.
Contrast this to Zahi Hawass, who claimed a few years ago that 2.3 million (the commonly used figure for the number of stones) was far too HIGH, and that the average weight of the stones was around 1000 pounds, or even less.

Always thought the construction would be a honeycomb built on an existing hill. Hope they come up with something before I croak. I'd really like to know.
