At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Feel free to explain how he knew what techniques the egyptians used, lol.  


It's a tourist attraction.  I suppose it might have retained it's mystery had it not been damaged so often and repaired.  For example..that oh so mysterious stone door?  Truck bearing with a steel shaft for hinges.  I guess that's probably how the egyptians did it too.  Rolleyes 

The fuckin tools the man used to build the place are on display -at- the place.....

What won't you believe?  You don't happen to believe that the mermaids at weeki wachee are real..do you?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So what you really need explained is how doors work, I take it?

No.

How a single man move a 30 ton stone in the course of a night.

Also engineers that repaired the door after the bearing rusted, can't get it to work properly. Since you apparently know, go ahead and explain that too.

Huggy, there are photos...and even a film..of how he moved the blocks.  They're right there, on display, at the attraction..and easily found online. You're asking me to explain a mystery that isn't mysterious.

I know you have google.  Use it. Or hey..maybe...since you're entirely certain that some lost ancient tech was employed..you should go on a pilgrimage to the site and see it for yourself?
-while you're at it, check out a guy named Wally Wallington (? last name may be wrong) he does a bunch of cool shit without using any of the blocks, pulleys, chains, winches or trucks that the coral castle builder used.  It's even more impressive..and still not magic.
