TBH, I don't know enough about the way they were constructed to know if that'd be feasible.
You'd expect that the pyramids would have to be built in "layers" for that to really be useful.
Kinda like the ramp at Masada though, you can't ignore what can be achieved with simple hard-labour. I wouldn't be surprised to find that they built huge earth-ramps up, say, part of the completed pyramids in order to deliver the blocks to the people who were actually fitting them into place or summat.
Yep. An organised labour force and a good knowledge of construction techniques
Nope, it's definitely a case of wanting..."need" drives the acquisition of skill or knowledge
...after all, of our species - only one individual, Dr Doolittle, ever wanted to speak to the animals...!
er and why wouldnt they be able to? there is no reason watssoever why aliens wouldnt be able to communicate with humans. aliens are out of this world, you cant compare their relationship to us with our relationship to animals we are on the same world
and anyway im sure billions of people want to speak to animals, i do

Why not? Not THAT many centuries ago, we treated other men like animals...
I did a Nile cruise about 10 years ago, not near the pyramids but saw a lot of what the they achieved.
Amazing.
But if you have enough manpower and a will to do something anything is possible.
On one excursion we went to see an obelisk, half finished, still half attached to the main bed of rock, because it cracked through during separation from the rock it was useless and abandoned.
It's quite a thing; nearly something great, half carved with hyroglphics (sp) and just left.
See, that isn't as much of a joke as it was probably intended to be.
Thing is, if the pyramids were just solid structures it would be a piece of cake to build them (figuratively speaking). Just build one layer then start on the next. Rinse and repeat.
Given all the internal chambers and whatnot, I assume there must have been some good planning involved to put internal walls and floors in place and then build the exterior around them etc, always ensuring that the various bits can interlock with one another etc.

O certainly! But again, they had had considerable practice with other, failed designs
What would you all do if evidence of alien contact with humans, was discovered in this secret chamber?
Evaluate the evidence!
I have no problem in considering that the Universe (given the billions of stars in the Milky Way alone) is teeming with alien life although most of it is likely to be very elementary rather than sentient beings. However, I do not think there is any proof whatsoever that we have ever been visited by alien beings.

Ask them why they flew billions of miles across space, in advanced spacecraft capable of light speed or greater, made out of exotic materials, but when they got her just let the humans continue to build pyramids the way they were already learning to do through hundreds of years of trial and error probably.

I can't help thinking that if any aliens did ever land here in ancient times they probably just got on with stealing some resource from our planet, repairing their spaceship or doing a bit of crafty anal probing and left us to build monuments in their honour by ourselves.
I mean, it's not like Spock or Yoda would have had much to talk about with people who were more keen on playing football with heads or worshipping cats as gods, is it?

And when the big orange pussycat with the bandoliers and gurt big gun comes down out of the spaceship, remember to ask the alien ambassador why his K'zin name translates as..."Speaker To Animals"

Mmmm, *taps nose*.
Alien knowledge though Star. Keep with the programme
It was
If we ever meet up, Joni.................I'll nick your baccy for that!:p
if that was the simple why is it 1 of the 7 wonders of the world :rolleyes:
Many people do, there's proof.
Just a shame they don't reply.
You can have me e-cigs, they're not working
Why not?

Yes but Yaps, so was a garden on some guys roof.
hey the link is broke!
There's probably a few fish want to speak to YOU
They're probably just updating your findings on it

That day had to go down a bit of a bummer:p

O certainly!
Pick up the alien mobile phone and tweet everyone.
Erm, make a cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich then have a read about it.
Eat my hat. I keep one on standby...http://www.google.co.uk/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=676&q=hat+cake&gbv=2&oq=hat+cake&aq=f&aqi=g9g-m1&aql=&gs_nf=1&gs_l=img.12..0l9j0i5.2493.3646.0.5348.8.8.0.0.0.0.163.945.1j7.8.0.gWd2XBju1wc
...but I have a feeling it will be a tad mouldy by the time it's ever required for THIS!

Well this thread has certainly proved that at least one person lacks basic intelligence that's for sure.
