WT's claim is that there is something special about the great pyramid and it's location. In addtion, he claims that this is mysterious.
I have NEVER said or implied "mysterious".
Group I: (how "special" is the great pyramid and it's location)
1. The height of the Great Pryamid is 5449 sacred inches precisely.
2. The great pyramid is at the centre of the arc of the nile delta.
3. The great pyramid on the border between upper and lower Egypt.
4. The great pyramid (GP from now on) on the longest land meridian. (LLM)
5. The GP is on the longest land parallel. {LLP)
6. The GP is at the center of land mass ( I don't recall this being a claim in any of WT's sources. I think it is a mistake he made.)
7. The GP is at the center of land area.
8. The curvature of the faces of the GP matches the curvature of the earth when the radius of curvature of the GP is doubled.
All 8 are the claims of my sources.
Ancient Egypt DID NOT have the knowledge to accomplish such things.
The following is from a website that scoffs and denies all supernatural claims. Read it carefully. They ADMIT that Egyptians text does not match the genius of the Pyramid architecture. They conclude ANYWAY that Egyptians must of built it BECAUSE the alternative is the evidence and conclusions of the supernaturalists. The conclusions of this site simply assert Egyptians built the GP DESPITE all the contrary evidence (which they don't really touch on of course).
It is axiomatic - ancient humans did not possesss advanced mathematical and geometrical and astronomical knowledge comparable to present day. To say they did defies the obvious, common sense, and the evidence.
Modern day cranes are used to lift multi-ton objects. It is pure nonsense to say primitive humans could do so without machinery.
HOW did they optically cut mammoth blocks and cement them into position - vertically - all within a 50th of an inch ? How do you spread cement evenly - vertically - between two 20 ton blocks a 50th of an inch apart ? You cannot even get a penknife in between a 50th of an inch ! And nobody has the slightest idea of where the cement came from - a cement so strong that the blocks fracture upon stress and not the cement. Multiply this by the esimated 2.3 million blocks contained in the Pyramid.
It is nonsense to say camel riding egyptians knew this. It is evolution which has maintained that mankind slowly evolved step by tiny step. This "micro-burst" of super intelligence SMASHES the evolutionary scenario WHETHER EGYPTIANS BUILT IT OR NOT. Now, I will sit back and wait for the waffling and squirming and explanations which will account for this ultra-knowledge in evolutionary scenario.

This excerpt is from a non-supernaturalist. I am posting the site because it gives an excellent complete overview of the history of the Pyramid. No one site agrees with any other. The purpose here is to establish that the Pyramid contains impossible evidence of knowledge that ancient egyptians/humans did not have YET the author arbitrarily concludes they must of built it anyway and somehow.
The boldface in the text evidences that Egyptian writings and the Pyramid's sophistication are incongruent.
This secular author concludes that priests concealed the secret know- how of which he admits there is no evidence.
EXCERPT:
Indeed, one could even devise a thought experiment in which it is assumed that the first rule among those who receive initiation into the highest knowledge is that the knowledge may not be written down explicitly. This knowledge might be maintained by an initiate priesthood who would continuously evaluate the trustworthiness of initiates, including pharaohs. The high priests might then initiate each individual only to the degree to which they demonstrated their capacity and dedication to maintaining the integrity of the secret. At first glance this may seem an absurd proposition, but it may fit the observed phenomena better than any other explanation. Particularly where we do already know that someone maintained a great deal of knowledge over the span of long intermediate periods between dynasties, which only flower during certain phases.
Such a model might explain how, or why, the evidence we do find in texts is frequently inferior to the sophistication of the knowledge implicitly embodied in the geometry of the architecture. I am not arguing that this can actually be proven, or even that it is rigorously correct in all cases, but I do suspect that the depth and sophistication of all dynasties was not equal, and that this may be due in part to variations in the degree to which different pharaohs, or lines of pharaohs, inspired the confidence of the perennial priesthood who may well have been the seat of real knowledge.
