And I think this belongs over here too!
Unless you've had the privilege of seeing them first hand, you really cannot grasp the size of the pyramids at Giza. Time I flew over the pyramids at a fairly low altitude. That changed my mind quite a bit and spurred me to actually return and see them in person at ground level.
Evenly smaller pyramids are quite huge, but the Great Pyramid is just unfathomably immense. After seeing them in person, I realized all the theories we were taught were nothing but bullshit. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built by quarrying an estimated 2.3 million large blocks, weighing 6 million tonnes in total. Each block weighs an average of 2.5 to 15 tons. And there are larger stones in the pyramid that weigh much more. And supposedly in 20 years time!
Yeah................. I just cannot conceive a stone age society constructing any of the pyramids at the Giza area........ Except maybe the step pyramids. They are a completely different method of construction.
I always thought the pyramid arrangements as a precise reflection of the belt of Orion was very telling. I think it is too precise to be just a coincidence that the pyramids line up with that portion of the constellation, which is a very visible constellation. If that is an actual representation of the constellation, then the alignment as seen in the night sky, would logically represent what it looked like at the time of its actual building!
Early in his career, I quite admired Zahi Hawass actions in protecting Egypt's history. Other countries contributed but the Brits were the largest culprit in stealing Egyptian antiquity. I think he was instrumental in stopping completely all the stealing of Egyptian antiquity by other countries. I am very disappointed in his tight reins of these sites on the study of ancient Egypt.
