so who created the 'pyramid scheme'?

I assure readers that one can readilly tell the difference between cut stone and concrete.

Ever been to a tile gallery?

so who created the 'pyramid scheme'?
AMWAY

Where did they purchase the rebar or other structural steel for the pyramids?

When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, the Pharaoh denied them straw to make their bricks. This historal fact is told in Exodus 5:10. The Israelites were forced to gather stubble for their bricks instead.

It is possible for the steel that we use today could have had straw, or some other fiber used instead. It would seem, however, that straw would leave unmistakable telltale signs.

As if there would EVER be a reason for anyone's brain to fire all nerves simultaneously

Isn't that a seizure?

i loved those as a kid!
the pyramids are awesome!

[Mr. K]

sounds like a fine idea to me... and what the keck differance does it make? They built them somehow....

The only differance would be the satisfaction of solving a riddle... geez...

LOL

I can't tell you how much concrete it took, but concrete is about $75 per yard for 3500#. Colorado Springs CO. Included in the price is 2% chloride. It's cold here, and the chloride speeds up the setup.

Thanks for the info.

Only if the ATF raids your brain.

(Seriously speaking, you're probably right.)

I might buy this theory - but I ain't buying that the Egyptians originated the phrase "the whole nine yards."

i did not take it personal (sniff) really though....at first you agree that we went downhill physically,mentally, spiritually, and then latter you say that what we lost is God's wisdom, i agree but we had to loose more than that due to the loss of a "perfect" enviroment. If we take literally (i am open to this point) that early on man lived 4,5,6 hundred or more years.....why not today? Loss of enviroment, resulting in a loss of physical capacity to reach such ages? If that were true it would possibly stand to reason that our corrupted brain does not function at a level that is even close to Adam's ability.

We assume we are operating a FULL capacity and with that as our base line for reason it is hard to understand that there could be a more intelligent early generation. Using mans wisdom we think we are the most intelligent era yet.....but yet we are unable to unravel something as simple as how were the pyramids built. There are examples all over the globe of current man's inability to explain early structures etc...yet we are soooo smart.......

Happy New Year!!!!

Yes, I agreed that we lost in all those areas. My dispute was with the amount, or the percentage of that loss.

I must not have written clearly about the wisdom thing. I never intended to say that wisdom is all we lost, only that wisdom is the most important thing we lost.

I don't like to see the 10% brain capacity thing used in order to say we've lost 90% of what we used to have. It's just not so, but there's no way to figure quantitatively what the loss was.

That's all. HTH.
