We all know they didn't build them, the aliens did! just kidding.
Do you think they just guessed where to put the blocks, said oops, lets just toss some more on the left and call it good? How did they figure out slope versus manpower to lift those heavy stones into place?

Today's forensic scientist has unearthed clues that the Egyptians that built the pyramids were very well cared for, and most them were not slaves. They had a rich diet, indicating higher placed people worked on those stone wonders.

Why so many architects and admin. level people? The blocks were fitted together more perfectly then we could do today. We're talking slanted lines, in stone, cut to perfection and fitted together like a Rubik cube of unimaginable exactness. The mortar joints are less than 1/15, a feat not even capable with todays tools. And the stones no show no chip marks, or corrections at the last minute.

Any ramp they used for the stones would need roughly seven times more material to construct than the pyramids themselves. And we know each block was placed within minutes of the others. Remember, the entire project for some of these took 20-30 years. People trying today would take a 1000 years to copy.

Inside are air shafts, which are drilled with a precision only current laser technology could match. They highlight some stars, and to be accurate, which they are, would show the egyptians had a very complicated, perfect calnedar. The pyramids are thought to be aligned perfectly with some constellations, and are supposingly laying on ley lines. Ley lines are a new age type of, well, power line. And that's enough of that. They could be astronomical observatories.

So how did they do it? If we can't copy them with all our latest gadgets and geegaws, how could we know? But think, good folks. It might be proof of intelligent life somewhere, just not here.
