[/QUOTE]When you're builiding something like a pyramid, especially one as big as the Great Pyramid, you've got to make sure everything is perfect, because otherwise you get to the top and it just won't work. If you're so much as an inch or two out at the bottom, you'r four sides might just not meet at the top!
I can't remeber the name of the guy who designed and built the Great Pyramid, but I do seem to remember him making a mistake (of sorts) with regard to originally trying to set the tomb in the bedrock below the pyramid (he started work on it but subsequently abandoned it). One of the (many) really interesting things about the GP is the lack of writing inside. (Apparently) the King's name only appears once in the whole of the pyramid, and scrawled on a wall somewhere, hidden away at the end of some tiny god-forsken tunnel that leads nowhere and presumably was not meant to be seen. How come?[/QUOTE]
The nearly perfect alignment is something that we today probably couldn't achieve with the anything a geometrically acurate as the Great Pyramid.
Imhotep is attiruted as building it I think, and Cheops, if I remeber right was suppoded to be buried in it. The name was found in the ceiling vault (attic you might say) above the King's chamber. The room has a ceiling like an ordinary house, but above that is vaulting to keep the whole thing from collapsing. Some morons climbed up thier ages ago and scrawled graffitti on the walls and one of them wrote his Pharoah's name. Now all Egyptologiest (save a few like Daniel) think for some stupid reason that this is Cheop's pyramid, oh well what ya gonna do?
Oh, by the way, the Arabs and Herodotus say that when they first saw the Great Pyramid it still had it's white marble or was it limestone, cover stones all the way to the top, and on that covering was written something in a strange language noone could decifer, Thousands of volumes worth of some archaic language!!!! What happened to these stones? Well a earthquake knocked a few off and the Arabs stripped the rest to make, of all things, Mosque. Thanks again Allah!!!
