Lehrer gets tripped up by the math.
Great pyramid = 2.5 million stones
2,500,000 stones divided by 20 years = 125,000 per year
125,000 divided by 365 days = 342.46 stones per day
342 divided by 24 hours = 14.25 stones per hour
14 stones an hour = roughly 4 minutes per stone.
That's 24/7 365 days a year for 20 years with no breaks, holidays, accidents, bad weather, etc, etc and we know they didn't do that. They also could not have worked at night and even the Egyptologists admit they only worked during the flood season which blows the math even more completely. Oh, and all that math above does not even begin to take into account the building of any sort of ramp to get the stones up. Lehrer is correct to assert that the top of the pyramid requires fewer stones....but they have to be moved further and higher than the ones at the bottom.
Add in the fact that the average reign of an Egyptian pharoah was closer to 10 years and the whole idea becomes preposterous. Who would commit to a 20 year building project as a tomb for a man who might be dead in half that time?
Then there is the Inventory Stele which the Egyptologists don't like so they dismiss as a later fraud.
Something is rotten in the state of Egypt.
