Re: PROVEN CRANKS
These cranks self admittedly will always have the word "theory" in their theories, which means they have no evidence,
"Theory" does not mean no evidence. "Hypothesis", in some cases, but not "theory".
but a defiance toward God to eliminate Him no matter what.
I haven't heard about the "Theory to Eliminate God No Matter What," could you provide a reference?

pebbles in my driveway
Thanks, I'll have to check out that Divine Neutral clause and see what I think.
I realize I'm jumping in pretty late here. You state:
I presented evidence with sources and the only thing my opponents can do is say "where is the evidence ?"
It seems to me that the evidence you give (that really addresses the God-built-the-pyramid theory) all comes from a single book.
The "facts" you bring to the discussion seem to contradict many other varied sources, according to others in the forum (I'm no pyramidologist...)
Also, the basis of some of your statements seem quite subjective. I still haven't figured out the definitive basis of why one inch equals a year.
Or why the metric system is full of shit. Perhaps God used the metric system - he could know the exact average diameter of the Earth even if puny human scientists couldn't. Why would God base a unit on the Earth to begin with when he has the whole universe to pull from? Why not base it on a constant unit, rather than a pole measurement, which could change with tectonic activity?
Perhaps one micron should equal a year. Then the history would be stretched out over time. Or one inch equal one light year, describing the dimensions of celestial obects.
If I measured the placement of pebbles in my driveway, and played with numbers long enough, I could align them to historical or Biblical events, or use them to describe the relationships of objects in the galaxy.
That does not mean that God arranged the pebbles. Or did he?

How about the graffiti written by the gangs and teams that built the pyramid?
Please evidence this claim with sources.
See what you think of this:
"A block of limestone remained on the floor with inscriptions of graffiti which have been attributed to the workmen and their efforts to identify their work gangs. The lines are severely worn and the signs which they formed are difficult to identify. They are tentatively read as "Htp dinsw"(fig 3), or "H3T-SP", but should probably be read as "H3T-SW'. It is thought that this graffiti indicates a specific time for ending the work at the pit. Other graffiti reads "3pd2-smsv?', and behind it "rnbt2". The worker was most likely mistaken because he should have put the letter b instead of the letter p. Other signs in the shape of arrows were written on the South, East, and West walls of the pit (fig. 4).

Thanks - I look forward to your response, and the wiping of floors.
I don't know the biases of various pyramidologists, but I'm not sure why one would manipulate findings - though I won't deny it's possible.
It also seems that you are using "pro-supernaturalists" as sources - so be careful about pointing out bias.

God was the Architect of the Great Pyramid.
Then why the haphazard construction on the outside?:
If the Great Pyramid is a direct creation of God, I would think the outside would be a bit more smooth or orderly... Though I could see why humans would stack blocks in this way...
Also, I hope you understand after looking at Asgara's linked maps, that it is a bit unbelievable that Giza is in the center of Egypt. Perhaps if you post your map showing this central location we would understand your point better.

Thanks for the insult.
But, if presumably the only monument God decided to build on Earth himself, wouldn't he have protected it against Muslim mosque-builders? Either supernaturally or via impenetrable construction?
Allowing the only monument made by His own hand to be stripped for building material for temples of an opposing religion? Now that's an insult...

Okay, sorry I misread you, and thanks for the "sorry", and sorry in return that you thought my post had insulting content.
In reply, I think it is clear from human history that God has no intent to intervene to protect human life from war or disaster - whether to test humanity or allow free will, or however it can be justified.
However, I'm still not quite clear why my "starting assumption and implication is insulting". I wasn't justifying anyone desecrating any altar/temple - in fact, I said it was insulting to strip an altar to one religion to build one for your own.
My point was, if God decided to create one perfect physical altar with his own hand, why would it be so easily deconstructed by puny humans or even earthquakes? presumably God would have made it earthquake-proof?
Then to protect it in the fashion you imply would negate the reason to build it to begin with.
What was the definitive reason for God to build it? Perhaps that would help me understand your point...

Which measurements?
WILLOWTREE - following our discussion about the stripping of the outer layer of the pyramid by humans:
- A huge part of your argument is based on the exact height, in inches of the pyramid.
- Which height should be taken as the true height?
- The height before or after it was stripped by humans?

stripping
I'm still wondering if the exact 5449 sacred inches measurement was from when God built the pyramid, or after humans stripped it of its outer layer.
Seems pretty important to your argument, since your entire Biblical link is the 5449 numerology of Isaiah 19. Off by even an inch, and...
Can you adress the issue?

The outer layer of limestone casing blocks and their removal does not affect the height of the Pyramid.
Why not? You give an empty assertion, not really much to go on... was that just a statement or do have documentation that the top of the pyramid remains unchanged?
It would seem to me that mass removal of the outer layer of the pyramid could easily effect it's height, even if just an inch or so.
But the bigger point is this:
The entire Biblical link rests on the 5449 inch height - so the height of the pyramid would have to remain unchanged since its creation.
This means no erosion, no settling, no earthquake damage, no human alteration to the top of the pyramid.
Is this your contention?

Re: stripping
WILLOWTREE - firstly, let me say that I'm confused as to how you are accusing others of making bare accusations, when you look at the ridiculously bare assertions you've made in your last two replies to me.
A reminder - you haven't refuted the grafitti evidence I posted in message 120 of this thread, though you said you would.
However, that is a small point compared to the height of pyramid issue, which provides your key biblical and geometric link.
WILLOWTREE writes:
From the base (whatever that is) to the summit platform.
That platform was never fitted with a capstone.
You've made another of those bare assertions that you yourself despise so much - here's what others have to say:
[4:10] - The capstone is thought to have been intact about 100 B.C. since no mention of its absence was recorded by the historian Diodorus Siculus.
[4:22] - The capstone is thought to have been an exact replica of the large pyramid on a scale of 1 to sqrt(Pi)/100. The ratio of any corresponding pyramid dimension over the capstone dimension, when multiplied by the square root of Pi equals 100.
[4:11] - The estimated height of the capstone is about 103.03+ pyramid inches and about 6-1/2 cubits on a side.
[14:62] - The height of the pyramid to the missing apex formed by extending the sides is 5813 PI.
[4:7] - The perfect formula height of the pyramid including the missing apex is 5813.2355653763+ PI, calculated from perimeter of base (sidereal socket level) divided by 2 Pi.
[11:151] - The height to the missing apex is 5812.98 PI.
http://www.hunkler.com/pyramids/pyramid_symbolism.html
Dr. Zahi Hawass, Director of the Pyramids at Giza, tells how he, leading the excavations near the eastern side of the Great Pyramid five years before that date, made an amazing discovery. Near the satellite pyramid of Khufu they unearthed the oldest capstone, or pyramidion, ever found in Egypt. Another discovery of limestone blocks with reliefs on them showing workmen dragging capstone and containing a statement in hieroglyphics that the capstone was cased in gold, which was made in Abousir, located between the Giza pyramids and Saqqara, provided new insights in the significance of the capstone he found in Giza.
Hawass believes that, when the Ancient Egyptians finished building the pyramid, the king and government officials cased a capstone with gold and placed it on top of the pyramid. It is said that this symbolized completion of the pyramid.
http://www.deepspace4.com/pages/space/mars/mars4.htm
It doesn't seem so straightforward as "That platform was never fitted with a capstone."
I'm sure you'll easily refute this with evidence that a capstone never existed - but I'd actually see the evidence this time...
I'm not trying to be nickpicky, but much of your argument rests on the exact height of the pyramid at the time it was built - it seems implausible that you can provide that height when you can't provide the landmarks of measurement ("From the base (whatever that is) to the summit platform.")

Re: stripping
I stole this from jar's last reference (thanks jar!) as support of my earlier shrinking pyramid statements:
When the Great Pyramid of Giza was first built, its height scaled to a fascinating 146 m. However in spite of the pyramid's ability to defeat the tests of time, it has withered slightly due to the harsh weather of the desert, civil war, and just old age in general. Today the pyramid still stand tall but nearly 10 meters shorter then its original height, at 137 m. Despite the allure pertaining to the pyramid's structure and design, the Great Pyramid of Giza can simply be appreciated for the effort with which the ancient Egyptians built this beautiful artwork.
Perkha Ahmed -- 2003
I'll assume you understand the context in my argument given my last post.

Re: stripping
Thanks, in the future please identify a link as being pertinent to the discussion - it was buried in a post about maps that did not mention graffiti once. Why would I follow it to find graffiti information?
Also - the graffiti mentioned here appears to be separate from that I mentioned, I'll have to double check...
I have to say, that your linked evidence states almost word-for-word what you have been arguing, in message #1 and since... It's as if both you and your independent source summarized from the same source - the same book, perhaps? Then it's not really additional evidence.
A quote:
In the Hebrew, there are 30 words in this text. when you add up all the numerical values of the text the value is 5449. The Great Pyramid is 5449 sacred inches high. Coincidence? We'll see.
Coincidence? We'll see...

on WT's numerical relations...
Ronald Wilson Reagan - six letters in each name = 666!
666 = Reagan was the antichrist!
I'm of course being facetious, but this was an argument that was made in the '80's to claim that Reagan was the antichrist of Revelations.
And a question for WILLOWTREE:
If the 17 steps up to the entrance were continued to the peak there would be 153 steps.
This is even more a stretch than the rest of your "numerical relations".
If God wanted 153 steps, why weren't they included? And how does the 153 if estimation come about?
What about: 17 actual steps multiplied by 9 equals 153 fish, and 9 is the length of God's inseam in cubits?
steps X inseam = fish
I mentioned quite some time ago in this thread, that if I measured the exact positions of the pebbles in my driveway, and played with numbers long enough, I could correlate their position to biblical events.
Most of your listing obsesses over "fives" - wouldn't another, simpler hypothesis be that Egyptians liked to build in fives, or use measurements or math or architecture based on a system of fives? Was "five" somehow sacred to the Egyptians? Are your measurements regarding these "fives" optically-exact?
Interestingly, most of your examples are also divisible by 25. Why 5 and not 25? Surely there were 25 "somethings" mentioned at some point in the bible...
The truth is, if the measurements more closely resembled 4,6,7,etc., you could simply match it to another biblical reference.
You haven't even addressed the height of the pyramid yet, which your biblical link is based upon. Until you do that, I hope you'll understand why I don't believe more of your measurements and math tricks...

inch existance
Just out of curiousity, WILLOWTREE,
Did the British Inch exist when the pyramid was built?
