I saw exactly what you did.

I would agree it's likely that any system they used would PROBABLY include "some degree of ramps". But this is not a starting point for reverse engineering anything. You are trying to incorporate the actual means that was most probably used (pulling stones straight up the sides) under the umbrella of "they mustta used ramps".

They did not mustta done anything at all except build the pyramid and some would even argue this.

You are trying to use a semantical argument to rule against wind, solar, aliens, water, levering, rocking, cranes, and hydraulics (etc etc etc) with a wave of the hand.

I am merely saying that Steve Clayton's theory of pulling stones straight up the sides of the pyramid is not consistent with Egyptological "theory" that holds the only available technology was savage and ramps. Until Steve Clayton's theory is actually substantiated by actually doing the testing required and then actually publishing those results we can't really rule out the possibility that their magic induced the stones to grow wings and there were no "inclined planes" at all.

How you take umbrage at this I have no clue but it is very common for believers to become upset with facts and logic.
