Searching For the Truth
(Always Telling the Truth Means Never Having to Remember Anything)
As we are constantly told, the 30-year time frame to build the pyramids of Giza is totally inaccurate and not even possible when the calculations are done. 2.4 million blocks of stone weighing between 3 and 5 tons each were quarried at the Aswan quarry, which would have been an achievement in itself with the tools available to the Egyptians. It's also known that 3 different types of stones were utilized to build the great pyramid; the inner core blocks which are visible today were limestone, the Kings chamber and other inner chambers were very hard red granite, and the polished casing stones (removed years ago to build mosques and other buildings), were white limestone. It's interesting to note that some of the red granite stones used for the King's chamber ceiling joists were 5' wide, 7' thick and 32' long, weighing up to 80 tons each. They would have had to been cut, lifted and transported to the Nile river, floated by barge, of which there are no records anywhere in Egypt indicating such tools or equipment would have been available.

Finally the 80-ton red granite stones would have had to be lifted 150 feet up, to place them where the Kings chamber and anti-chambers are located in the great pyramid. Transporting such massive stones on barges would have also been a problem, since the Nile River annually flooded before the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970. Work could have only been accomplished about 9 months out of the year, however using the 30-year time frame we're supposed to accept, it would have been necessary to quarry, transport and set a stone every 90 seconds, 24-7, 365 days a year, to fit the 30-year time frame. As a matter of note, the144, 000 polished casing stones, weighing 15 tons each, that once covered the pyramid, would have also had to have been quarried, polished, transported and placed with a space tolerance of 1/50th of an inch between them utilizing mortar joints. Were the casing stones with mortar joints on the outer surface used to keep water out of the pyramid? I'll address that with Mr. Klein's theory later.
The above-mentioned technology and workmanship are not evident in any other pyramids in Egypt or anywhere else in the world. Two examples are the "Bent pyramid" and the "Red pyramid", also supposedly constructed during Egypt's 4th Dynasty.
We're told the great pyramid was built for the pharaoh Khufu, and the only statue ever found of Khufu (several hundred miles from the Giza plateau where the pyramids are located), is on display in the Cairo Museum and is an astonishing 3"tall. Not much glory for a pharaoh who supposedly was buried in the great pyramid. When the Arabs first entered the great pyramid about 890 AD, the only thing found was an empty coffer, nothing for the afterlife of a pharaoh, no hieroglyphics, inscriptions or paintings.
