Nope structural engineers have stated that we (modern man) do not have the ability,even with all our technology, to lay out the base of the pyrimids as accurately as the Egyptians did.

1. Please provde citation for claims dealing with assertions of structural engineers.
2. You're absolutely fucking insane if you think that modern man doesn't have the ability to effectively put a bunch of big rocks in a pile in such a way that is consistent. The reason we don't rebuild pyramids is because there's no need for such structures. We tend to construct buildings that are efficient, both in manpower and materials, not huge stone monuments set aside for the burials of Gods among men.

Not only could we do it, we could do a far better job than those living thousands of years ago.

I have yet to see any structure made in the Stone or Bronze Age that rivals the intricacy, precision, or attention to detail of any major structure built today.

I'm not going through all my books and research to find that statement if you don't accept my word about it then, if you are interested, you'll need to do your own research. I did not say that we need to rebuild the pyramids all I stated is that we can not build them with the accuracy that the Eygptians obtained. I've been in the building trades for many years and I still have not seen a house built that was truely square and I've been associated with some very creditable builders. I've yet to see stone work by modern man that's so precise that you can not slip a piece of paper between the stones even after a thousand years. All those beautiful buildings you posted will not be standing in 3000 years.
