Still, one must wonder at the massive multi-ton slabs of granite that were placed one set upon the other at the center of the pyramid just so. Imagine trying to 'block and tackle' or push such huge slabs of granite up the surface of the pyramid to a height of 20 plus stories! How then did they use 'compound multiple pulleys' to get those beautiful massive granite slabs into place? It is amazing enough that they could cut and transport these huge slabs of granite to support the roof of the pyramid. Even more amazing is that the builders of the pyramid knew that they could create a multiple spaced hollow atrium in the center of the pyramid that would support the entire weight of the thousands, no... millions of pounds of thrust with gravity that all the stone above would weigh. And then make the structure stand fast and strong for milleniums! The very fact that they could build a everlasting monument/ or massive power plant is not inconceivable in my mind. It is there! It has stood the test of time! And I do not believe it was just a tomb. There has never been a body of any kind ever found in Giza (except perhaps one of the raider/bandits). It is something far greater, something far more majestic....a lost technology? Yes, perhaps it was. And perhaps it was a far grander civilization than we have amongst us today....perhaps we are too proud to accept the fact that maybe....just maybe something far greater preceeded what we witness with our senses in this plane of time. Oh, by the way, the Builders of the pyramid did not build it to 'figure out pi' .....they already knew 'pi' and exploited it freely as any superior civilization was apt to do. Just like we humbly accept 'pi' and its ratio into our "currently civilized" world.

The generators in Hoover Dam were lowered from a crane (which is basically a REALLY BIG block and tackle system) the apex of which was almost 20 stories above where the generators were going, the most off center of the generators is 3/4" off (History Channel, Modern Marvels, usually shows up in Heavy Metal Week because of the crane). One thing I've learned when studying massive buildings: never under estimate the power of brute force and ignorance. As long as you're too dumb to know that what you're doing is impossible, and you've got yourself some strong backs to do it with, there's nothing people can't do. More proof that cost accountants have ruined America (their specialty is dispelling ignorance).
