It's not moving the goal posts, my point is, the "wet sand theory" doesn't work, because other places with pyramids don't have sand.

Magic skywizard moved them?
Aliens?

How the American pyramids were made, I don't know: I haven't studied those. I'm more interested in European/Middle Eastern Archaeology.
I'm sure enough research will find an article explaining it.
Humans can achieve a hell of a lot with muscle power. Look at the Egyptian obelisks.

Quote:The claim was made by an eccentric Latvian recluse named Edward Leedskalnin. An immigrant to the United States of America, Leedskalnin devised a means to single-handedly lift and maneuver blocks of coral weighing up to 30 tons each. In Homestead, Florida, using his closely guarded secret, he was able to quarry and construct an entire complex of monolithic blocks of coral in an arrangement that reflected his own unique character. On average, the weight of a single block used in the Coral Castle was greater than those used to build the Great Pyramid. He labored for 28 years to complete the work, which consisted of a total of 1,100 tons of rock. What was Leedskalnin's secret? Is it possible for a five-foot tall, 110 pound man to accomplish such a feat without knowing techniques that are uncommon to our contemporary understanding of physics and mechanics?
