John:
Thanks for the info. on Graham Hancock - I'll definitely look into them. In my
mind, the construction of the Pyramids is the greatest unsolved mystery of human
history. I don't fall into the camp that believes that they had Alien
assistance in their construction - for one thing, I believe that such an
interaction would have had such a profound impact on human culture, that
unmistakable lore and accounts of the event would have survived over time, and
would have been passed to us (in artwork, burial chamber relics, religious
practices, etc., etc.) The scale of human construction is almost unfathomable,
though. For one thing, how could they feed such a work-force? It must have
taken all of the resources of Egypt, as well as many tribute-states. I'm really
not very well-informed about the matter, but I think that by all accounts, the
building of the Pyramids is a very mysterious subject.
