How could those pyramids be built centuries ago? The fact that they were built by human beings centuries ago speaks of the mathematical knowledge and the arithmetic calculations with which which the human mind is endowed with. There should have been artificial elevators prevalent at those times using which the labourers would have climbed to the summits of the pyramids and placed bricks or any other building material. What do you think?

Heavens Mirror is an interesting book to read (written by Graham Hancock and Samantha Faiia). It gives the reader an insight into the complex calculations required to build perfect pyramids like the ones in Egypt. Not only do they line up perfectly with the stars, but many of the equations contain the number 72. There are also chambers within the great pyramid, which are sealed tight - like vacuums. How did such a primitive civilization (compared to ours) achieve such precision without computers and powerful construction vehicles?

I'd say it's debateable whether the ancients could be considered primitive. Nowadays there would be so much red tape that the project would never have received planning permission lol
Which is more primitive, going ahead and doing a project, completing it....or stopping someone from expressing creativity via laws that defend those in power ?
Never mind the fact that i would bet my last pair of trousers on the probable fact that nothing we build now will be here in a few thousand years time !

I remember reading a book about the pyramids that really made me think. The author detailed the sizes of the stones, the precision of the stone cuttings and gaps thinner than the thickness of an ordinary paper not to mention the method that were used to put them on top of each other was just impossible for people in the early civilization to do. Also the stones were not available nearby and has to be transported hundreds of kilometers away. The author's conclusion was that it was built by alien visitors who have much superior technology. I'm not saying I believe in the author's proposition since the existence of aliens is still a matter of controversy and no proof has ever been shown. I have yet to see a book that can show how the pyramids could have been made by people in the earlier world.
