The issue of aliens or God aside, when talking about these accomplishments, you have to consider first, the abilities of humans when they have determination and second, the mindset of primitive people.
Humans can train themselves to run for a hundred miles at a time. Or swim to crushing depths where their lungs fill with blood. Essentially the human mind can be trained to do amazing things and by that I mostly mean that it can be trained to ignore a lot of pain.
Second, primitive people thought their rulers were gods. In medieval England people were willingly put to death as part of their service to the king. Without resistance these people would put their head on a stump and have it cut off because they thought it was their duty as a subject of the King, who was the agent of God on Earth. Keep that in mind and then consider how primitive people that lived 2000 years before would have viewed the pharoah. Basically the pharoah would have been able to get even his regular subjects (not just the slaves) to do anything he commanded. I'm virtually certain that those people would have worked to the point where they literally fell over dead if he commanded it be done.
When you combine those two things you will realize how the pyramids could be built. Granted, this doesn't address the engineering side of the projects.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

They were looking at a stone, maybe granite, I don't remember, and they were trying to understand how the people were able to etch a foot into the stone perfect shapes and angles. The "professional" really couldn't explain it since we have nothing to really make that type of cut.
That being said, the "professionals" are what kind of make or break the idea. These guys may think this stuff is impossible by todays standards, but then I think they fail to realize, they are trying to equate it to todays technology, and you just can't do that.

Pretty easy to see the enviroment taking over once a civilization came to a halt. Pretty much everything would disappear without a trace. Only things that would be left behind to examine would be the structures we talk about now.

I kind of get the feeling our practices on dating is not accurate.

Imagine that you have a guy and his only purpose in his entire life, for 30 years or however long he lives, is to carve a single block out of that stone because the pharoah says so. He'd figure out a way to do it. It isn't like he is going to go home and watch TV or stop to go to college. He'd find a way, even if it meant cutting into the stone by just rubbing his hands on it a billion times.
