READ IT!

It's a great book. Another great book that covers quite of unanswered questions is the out of print "The Pyramids - An Enigma Solved" by Dr. Joseph Davidovits. ISBN# 0-87052-559-X. You can get used copies from AMAZON at HERE . The following is a short review of the book. You can see why I placed it with the GIza Powerplant.

Amazon wondered why I'd not reviewed this book I own, July 18, 2001
Reviewer: holy_olio (see more about me) from Grand Rapids, MI USA

I read this title when it was first published based on a brief in William Corliss' "Science Frontiers". This book is easy to understand and its premise easy to grasp and accept. It is out of print, but generally used copies can be found using the usual online searches. Check your local public and college libraries for copies as well.

There is no ancient account of the way the pyramids were built. The story told to Herodotus during his visit 2500 years ago suggests that the Egyptian tour guides of that time were as full of flummery as tour guides are today, and unaware of their country's history.

The conventional view -- that individual stones were used -- might work if all four sides were under construction at the same time, but this requires ramps or scaffolding. It is typical in such a model for a single ramp to wrap around.

The idea that the "stones" could be formed in situ is compelling on its own, but gains credence due to the difficulty of quarrying, smoothing, transporting, and placing full sized stones with such rapidity, particularly in the new, incredible, pseudo-historical claims by Zahi Hawass that there were no slaves in ancient Egypt, and that the stones of the Great Pyramid aren't nearly as numerous or as heavy as has been claimed.

The destruction of the mountain in Brazil which has been a hand-dug gold mine for forty or so years supports the credibility of Davidovits' idea -- that mountain has vanished and a huge pit opened under the old site, 40 pounds at a time, using ordinary digging tools and handmade ladders.

This book is highly recommended. Read it instead of the attacks that have been made against it, against the author, and against favorable reviews. --This text refers to the Unknown Binding edition.


If you want to keep current with tracking developments out of the "politically correct" archaeological realm. I suggest visiting HERE.

All hocus pocus aside...

Did the robot find anything or not? The last I heard...it found another wall/door. I got one of those right here.

No disprespect intended but I trust the robot over any zealous 20th/21st century Caucasian. The robot wont go off on flights of fancy about "could be, might be" or what it "thinks".



BTW: Jesus is the answer folks...nothing else.
