It went from one witness to everybody being a witness, and from a republic truck chassis, to a custom trailer...
You asked me how a man could move the blocks 10 miles overnight with the equipment he had.
The blocks were not moved over night, they were moved over 3 years.
Nevertheless ...the manner in which he lifted the blocks was explained to you. The manner in which he moved the blocks, also explained to you.
You asked for a link. You got one.
You asked for pictures. You got them.
You asked for a film. You got it.
You asked for citations....you got them..from the attractions own documentation.
You received additional info about the man himself that contextualized how he was familiar with the processes involved.
Should I now have to explain axle loading vis-a-vis DOT regulations to you......because you don't understand trailers anymore than you understand doors....before you simply accept that if there's pyramid magic, this isn't a case of it in action?

His work was very impressive. It was also done exactly as was explained and shown to you.
Are you done?

Just popping in quickly to say that this thread is astonishing. Absolutely astonishing. It's as if a man is being beaten to death with coconuts while loudly insisting that coconuts don't exist.
Edit: On reflection, it's more like taking a man who doesn't believe that coconuts are even possible to a coconut plantation, and showing him how coconuts are grown and harvested. You then take him down to the docks and show him the coconuts being load on a ship. The pair of you then board the ship and accompany the coconuts to the coconut-processing plant where they are rendered into all manner of coconut-based products.
The man then looks at you and says, 'Oh, but you haven't proven that coconuts are grown, harvested, shipped and processed. Where's your evidence?'

Psh, this thread is nothing. Consider this.....he thinks he's knocking it out of the park, as always. The lunacy of the contents of this thread are downright mundane compared to the contents of the rats nest he has between his ears.

I don't understand why human work, just hard sweating in the 100 degree days and 90+ degree florida nights.... for three decades... is worth so little in some people minds. The same question lends itself equally well to pyramidiots. Yeah, it's a big fuckin pile of rocks. It took alot of people alot of time. Good chance a significant number of them died on the job. Accept it for what it is? Nah, fuck that. Aliens, magic, some lazy asshole's stupid religion...that's what's really important.
I'm sure that ed would have floated the rocks into place like so many balloons if he could have. Would have saved him half of his fuckin life...but it wouldn't be all that awesome if it were the case..and it wasn't the case.

It's like when some people claim that magicians like Derren Brown really do have magical powers, despite what they themselves say. Partly because it's easier to rationalise supernatural abilities than to admit that they make careers out of fooling grown adults. The fact that 100% of them insist on doing it the hard way doesn't seem to faze anyone.
