       Pyramids of Egypt

       In the late 1800's an officer of the British empire went on a
       grand expedition to discover the meaning of the pyramids.
       Millions were spent on the expedition, and pressure was high for
       him to come up with answers.   In the published findings, he
       found a great chamber with hieroglyphics painted in a room,
       tying them to a specific Pharoah, and to around 2500 B.C.
       In his personal journal, on that day, the British officer
       reported nothing of significance.
       He had used dynamite to blow open a pyramid, finding a chamber,
       that was apparently empty.  That is where he claimed to have
       found the writings, of which there are pictures, and they can be
       deciphered, and have been, giving us the foundation for the
       dating of the Egyptian pyramids in general.
       In 2013 two German archaeological students slipped by "keep out"
       signs and ropes and scraped some of the paint off the
       hieroglyphics that this British explorer claims to have
       discovered.   They took them back to Germany.  And while the
       sample was too small to carbon date, they did find traces of a
       plaster that had not been used 2000 years ago, that was in fact
       something found in 1800 western cultures.
       Strangely, the idea that pyramids are simply pharoah's tombs was
       presented by this expedition, and despite the doubt cast upon
       validity of the entire endeavor, scientists to this day continue
       to espouse that idea as fact.
       It is important to note that tourism in Egypt today accounts for
       $8 billion annually, and that any disruption of that status quo
       could mean lost revenue, as such there is a strong motivation to
       maintain it.

       The Great Pyramid sits on 14 acres, 43,560 ft.
       Today's houses, half acre lots or so, are accurate to square
       within an inch or two.
       From corner to corner, all four corners of the Great Pyramid are
       +/- 1/2 inch to square.   Today's contractors do not accomplish
       this with modern houses.  Yet a primitive culture with no
       pulleys, wheels, or advanced technology somehow did it with just
       human muscle and labor.
       Today's skyscrapers and bridges account for expansion and
       contraction, as the temperature changes.....as does the Great
       Pyramid.  To quote "savages and primitive man simply could not
       built something so advanced".   Measuring tools, knowledge of
       magnetic north, advanced mathematics, the ability to move huge
       stones hundreds of miles, on and on and on......would have been
       required to build such a structure.   All of this for a future
       grave?
