We know where the Egyptians got the limestone blocks for the Giza Pyramids; the quarries are right on the Giza Plateau.  We know where they got the Tura limestone for the casing stones and have even found the landing point where they brought them across the river as the Tura quarries were on the east bank of the Nile.  We know where the granite stones came from (Aswan, up river).  There is no mystery in any of this.

What remains unknown is the type of ramp they used as any of the more obvious ideas fail because of practical or topographical reasons.  They probably laid out the base and then began building both up and out at the same time raising the stones level by level as they did so.  So there was no "ramp," per se.

The one piece of the puzzle that makes no sense is the "tombs and tombs only" approach of Egyptologists and this is a self-inflicted wound.  The math simply does not work for building that structure in 20 years as a tomb for one man.

It's that last bit where loons feel free to insert aliens and atlantean tech.  Presumably, they don't realize that the question is more like;

"Were they also intentional projections of state power..or might they have served a purpose in keeping the rabble busy - and therefore not revolting- in the doldrums between farming..or could it have been an early attempt at a welfare initiative, make work for pay in bread and beer...or maybe all of the above -plus- a tomb and a temple."

Questions on the phenomena of loons...might it be useful for them to imagine as many silly things as they can not only as support for one of those silly things..but also to make other silly things seem less silly by sheer amount of silly shit they believe in?

What's one lie compared to one thousand?

The 5th Dynasty pyramid of Userkaf:



Didn't hold up so well compared to the alleged 4th Dynasty pyramid of Khafre:



Looks as if someone lost the secret!  Most pyramids in Egypt now look like Userkaf's.

Nobody gives a shit, Huggy. Well, let me correct that. No one but you, and you're just pathetic for doing so.

Yeahhh... everyone knows that you only fall back to your ad homs once you've run out of actual things to say, Hugs. How very sad for you.

Nah, the point is that he proved you wrong about something. That's all that matters to him. Anything else is an atheistic trick.

If anything, "The Tower of Babel" is common term for Christian rhetoric.
