So with that info I do not see how we could build a pyramid as accurately as they did, when the base is off the futher you get into the construction the further off the structure becomes. This is basic building knowledge. In todays construction we have materials that are far more flexible than the stone the Eygptians used so we do not have to be as accurate as they were it's far easier to make adjustments with todays materials than those huge blocks of stone used in the construction of the pyramids. Also I never said that the Egyptians, Greeks or Romans were more advanced than man is today the only point that I wanted to make was that these people were not so primative as people today try and make them out to be.
Yes I do know the aqueducts were built to move water sometimes a long distance I also know the Romans had hot and cold running water for their public baths and if I'm not mistaken some homes had the same.
You have no idea how the pyramids were built do you. The Ancient Egyptians didn't build them on their own because of A, being primitive, and B, the theories available and described are in ways impossible due to the massive weight of each block. Here:
