rofl Pyramidiots fail to see that these "primitive" stone and chisel users were somehow master mathematicians with highly advanced geometrical capabilities. To wit: The mathematic value of Pi defines the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle found in the pyramid math. pi can be found taking twice the base length of the pyramid divided by its height: pi = 2 * 440/280 = 880/280 = 22/7 approximating pi = 3.14159. Perhaps pi was never specifically calculated, but its value became incorporated to a very high degree of accuracy for and by future generations to discover. Of course, after "chiseling" to perfection the blocks of granite (nary a human hair can fit in a joint), they would wipe of their sweat, take a dip in the Nile and resume mathematical excellence. Of course. One of the first archaeologists to carry out a thorough survey of the Pyramid was Petrie, who was particularly struck by the granite coffer in the King¢s Chamber. The precision with which the coffer had been carved out of a /single block of extremely hard granite/ struck him as quite remarkable. Petrie estimated that diamond-tipped drills would need to have been applied with a pressure of two tons, in order to hollow out the granite box. It was not a serious suggestion as to the method actually used but simply his way of expressing the *impossibility* of creating that artifact using nineteenth century technology. It is still a difficult challenge, even with twentieth century technology. And yet we are supposed to believe that Khufu achieved this at a time when the Egyptians possessed only the most basic copper hand tools? Or well before hand tools were even used? -- Thor Kuntelin http://www.anta.com/ |
