Hi eyeofhorus33,

Not speaking at you, thou through you...

The reason I don't believe in ramps, as the math doesn't add up. I can't read Egyptian. I look at it purely as an engineering issue.

I find the bulk of individuals who contend ramps as the solution, cannot even do math, as they never attempt to qualify those ramp theories. Why is that?

I dare anyone up here on GH, to show us, how wide those ramps would need to be, the grade, and how many men would occupy that space, pulling stones nearly 1 mile uphill. Remember, they can't stop and rest...

Here is the math condition to meet. 1 stone every 3 minutes within 20 years, and/or 30 years, what ever. How many teams of men, their number per team, their width and length, and their speed of travel.

Try that on for size, and show me how it works. I doubt very much anyone will take me up on my offer. Why? Because they can't or will not do the math. It's just easier to believe in the herd mentality. It's safer, and causes less stress...
