It is a tomb. What's you're proof? That's it's too BIG! Don't be daft. The Pharoah were gods, just how big a tomb would YOU build for Jesus Christ if you had the chance? Just look at what we build and for what purpose, to claim that there's any building too big for humans to build for anything is to live in ignorance. You're the one holding onto rediculous beliefs out of some foolish personal importance. Take your precious little picture into Photoshop and SHOW US what makes it a power plant. And none of this "the good parts are outside the visible range BS, real proof. You're the one with the extraordinary claims, cough up the extraordinary proof, if you don't HAVE extraordinary proof then I recommend you shut yer yap until you find some. You're just embarassing yourself with this foolishness, and insulting what was a proud and accomplished civilization.

you have an amazing limitation for understanding things, read the book then comment.

It was never a tomb

[justshutupandtakeit]

There is not one shred of proof that the Great Pyramid was ever a tomb. Of all the things it is it was never that. Pharoahs were buried in the Valley of the Kings. The placement and diminisions of the GP indicate that it was a mathematical symbol from which Py could be calculated as well as many other things.

When the Arabs first entered it by breaking through the side it was the first time it had been entered in the historical record. They found nothing to indicate that it was a tomb or had ever contained a body. This was a bitter disappointment for they expected to find riches.

You apparently know nothing about the Great Pyramid but that doesn't stop you from talking about it. It is nothing like the others in quality of workmanship and is more correctly placed wrt to NSEW orientation than we can build a building of that size today.

Hey guys. Tell me what ELSE the Egyptian Pharohs had to do thousands of years ago? The richest man/woman on the planet at the time didn't have to take the kids to football and cheerleader practice, didn't have to report to the boss and punch a clock at 8:00am sharp everyday.

Now, just think what your imagination might come up with if you could do ANYTHING YOU WANTED to do, and had the juice to get your hundreds of thousands of slaves to put their backs into it for as long as the daylight held out. Build cities? Build gosh-awful tombs? You bet. Nothing else to do, either for the Pharohs or for the slaves. Come off it. I don't believe there were magical, or alien, connections. It's nothing that a couple of million slaves couldn't pull off, if the engineers designed it properly. IT HAD THE FULL ATTENTION OF THE EMPIRE, for pity's sake.

By the way, we have it on good authority that the Taj Mahal was built to be a tomb. Is that too elaborate? Tough. That one's a tomb - no question.
