The Bible, what's literal and what's not?

[Shell B]

Obviously you have misunderstood the significance of the Great Pyramids, godschild. They are amazing and magnificent. However, the reason that they are such is not because we can't recreate them because the Egyptians were more advanced than we are. They are amazing because building such a monument was such a massive undertaking at the time and they did so with precision that must have been painstaking for them to have lasted so long. Such precision was not easy to come by with the tools they had at hand.

Engineers of today could build the pyramids without breaking a sweat, literally. They could sit in air-conditioned equipment and build an exact fucking replica of it. (I should say close to an exact replica. They could build an exact replica, but then they'd have to dissect them) Before you ask for a source, I will tell you that I know this because I have read about the pyramids extensively. How could scholars and scientists explain the dimensions and building materials of the pyramids with any kind of authority, if they don't understand how to build them? That's like saying, I can draw you a blueprint of a house and tell you exactly what you would need to build it, but I have no idea how to build it.

Min's reference to the aqueducts is an example of well-placed pride. What function did the pyramids serve, other than to waste a lot of time and effort and give us something to gawk at? In fact, the sort of pride that built the pyramids was foolish. The aqueducts served a purpose. I'll give you a shiny penny if you can tell me why the aqueducts were more important than the pyramids, godschild.
