Pseudos."

That's stupid! If they could pour concrete then why bother making 20 ton
blocks?! Your theory doesn't hold up to common sense.

We know large blocks and obelisks were ferried down the Nile because
there are pictographs of them doing it. So if they could load a barge
with a 20 ton block then it follows reason that they could also raise it
into place in a pyramid.

They were neither a primitive people nor stupid. Their best and
brightest minds were contemporaries of the likes of Archimedes of which
it is now discovered he invented basic calculus and this was lost to us
until we had to re-invent it many centuries later. Just think how much
science, mathematics, and technology would be advanced today if their
knowledge hadn't been forgotten for all that time!

... Oh no! The creationists are mutating!


The problem with these people is they give humanity little credit for its
achievements. The human brain has changed little since the pyramids were
built. The main difference between the Egyptian builders and us, is we have
a few millenia more experience. Their achievements are a part of that.
