Ancient Astronaut Theory

[Anomalocaris]

The most damning criticism of the theory is that the Khafre Pyramid, right next door, shows none of the outer signs that are claimed for the the GP. Both are astounding pieces of construction and similar, if not identical, methods must have been used in their construction. Yet, Khafre has no internal chambers.

Also, think about the Egyptian sun. They are proposing a cramped, stone, oven for crews to pull these sleds with 2.5 ton stones. When Brier climbed up to the supposed "notch" which was theorized to be a turning point to get the stones around the corners, he found no evidence indicating it had ever been suitable for that purpose.

I thought Khafre had internal chambers, certainly it had at least 2 external entrances to something that was first opened by the Arabs in the 1300s and then opened again in the late 1880s.

I personally doubt the internal ramp hypothesis. The Arabs cut a deep slash onto the face of Menkaure in the 12th century. That gash should be deep enough to reveal any spiraling internal ramp hypothesized. Also a internal ramp would require large roofing slabs that would making the pyramid much more difficult to construct, and much more vulnerable to failure.

I favor an external ramp whose rocks are reused as casing for the pyramid. It may spiral up the pyramid, or zig zag up each side. I also wouln't be surprised at all if the Eqyptians had the use of rope ways, block and pulley, and wooden rachets, to make primitive cranes with mechanic advantage. Assuming 4 ramps, one up each side, then each ramp needs to transport only about 80 stones a day, a rate of 1 stone every 10 minutes or so, which seems to me to be a manageable traffic on a ramp. I also suspect that instead of teams of men dragging stones up the ramps as they go, some sort of rope way might be arranged where the labors more or less stand in place, and pull on continuous loops of ropes which carry rocks up the ramps in a conveyor fashion. The ropes would be protected by rachets to keep rocks from sliding backwards in between concerted pulls. Only the very last stretch, where the stones come off of prearranged rope way and get manhandled to the actual location where the rock would be set would there be teams of men actually dragging the stones around.
