It has been asserted in Message 63 that the Great Pyramid was built by GOD and that all the other pyramids are but later copies.
WILLOWTREE writes:
My point was for all intents and purposes nobody (my opponents) has spent 10 hours of their life reviewing the evidence and sources pertaining to the claims that God built the Pyramid.
What evidence is available to either support that assertion or to refute it?

Re: So What's the Difference?
I don't know why you were taught that prior to Columbus the then known world believed the earth was flat.
Why were you taught such nonsense?
Joshua is criticized for believing the Sun stood still... because it didn't happen. The Earth did not stand still either.

I brought it here because you never bothered to respond to the questions asked of you just as you are still refusing to answer the questions. In addition, you referenced the subject in yet another thread and implied that it was fact instead of gossamer.
You ask how many hours I spent on your claims (there was no evidence)?
Less than two minutes. There were so many errors and absurdities right at the beginning that it would be foolish to devote any more time.
If your claim is other than that the Egytians built the Great Pyramid you need to start with something that has some credibility and is not so full of errors.

I imagine this will stay open. Since we have never been able to get you to answer any of the questions there, let's discuss it here.
Why do you think the Pyramid was beyond the capabilities of the Egyptians?

So to sum up things at this point
no one has any evidence to offer that the Great Pyramid is other than the final product of a long line of similar structures, that there is anything involved in the pyramid that would have been beyond the capability of the Egyptians of the period, or that it shows any startling technology.
Is there anything else to add or can we simply say that this thread finally settled the great and nagging question about who built the Pyramid.
The answer, which all can refer to in any future thread, is...

The Egyptians.

Actually, most of the studies seem to show that
only 4-5000 workers were involved at the construction site, maybe as many more at the quaries. The Herodotus figures are about as reliable as those for the Exodus. Time probably expanded them by at least an order of magnitude just as in the story of the Exodus. Time does have a tendency to do that.
One of the better studies was done in 1999 by Daniel, Mann, Johnson, & Mendenhall and it can be found Here. They covered just about every possible issue, and as in other studies, there was nothing that was beyond the capabilities of the Egyptians. That ties in well with the bakeries and kitchens found adjacent, the grafitti found on interior stones and difference in the construction of the interior and the exterior portions.

Re: News Flash
That is too funny.
Did you actually read some of the claims?
This book is illustrated and jamb-packed with facts you will not find anywhere else in one volume!
Translation, I took all the old stuff from my other volumes and dumped it in here.
But wait, there's more. I also took all the silly stuff from every other crakpot and nutcase out there and stuck it in for free!!!!!!!
