It's all so simple:

With the help of Prophet Yaweh's angels, and Marilyn Hiickey's missing uterus, Leedskalnin was able to levitate the stone into place through faith magic.

All part of the ruse.  We lizard people...true rulers of the earth, spend alot of time doing things the hard way just to fool people into thinking we can't wiggle our noses and fly.

Being a lizard person, I would say that..I guess.

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?'

Yeah because coconuts are exactly the same thing.

All Khemikal has put forth is pure conjecture, the transporting of large stones had been done throughout history and according to Ed he used the same techniques they did, his words, not mine.

Ed didn't actually know what techniques they used..but we do know what techniques Ed used...because he did it on a fucking camera you loon. The techniques he used involved tripod cranes and steel block tackle with heavy duty chains, flatbeds, and tractors. The egyptians didn't use any of that, however they did it..because they didn't have any of that....however they did it.

Since you're so enamored with what the man said. Try this. "It's easy, if you know how to do it".

How did Ed move all these carvings a distance of 10 miles? Ed had the chassis of an old Republic truck on which he laid two rails. He had a friend with a tractor move the loaded trailer from Florida City to Homestead.

Correct.  Now......what about this do you not understand...since I'm in the business of explaining shit to you tonight? He took the chassis of a truck, put two rails on it, and had it pulled with a tractor for ten miles down Old Dixie...a job which took three years.

Be specific..what has you stumped and proposing lost levitation tech?

But... the bible doesn't say they didn't use that stuff, therefore they might have used it. Therefore that proves they did. QED.

Which in this case means "Quoting Erroneous Data".
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.'

Your guess is as good as mine, man.  I'm guessing that Huggy huffs paint.

I don't even know what he's trying to achieve. Is he proving the Egyptian gods are real, and they granted magical powers to their followers? Or just that magic is a real thing so it can be applied to the Tower of Babel?

I find it really weird, as usual. If it was proved somehow that the story really happened, it just establishes Yahweh as a total cunt. As usual.

He's trying to achieve the lofty heights of never saying "I was wrong about that stupid thing I said".

-Because he's a fucking child.
