True, but yet scientists still cannot figure out how they build the pyramids, and of course from what I heard, they were done in 22 years.
Which you look at the complexity of a pyramid, that is pretty impressive.
Sometimes I wish there was a time machine so we could just observe some of these marvels.
Of course there are many theories on how, but still nothing concrete.
Then again maybe 1000's of years from now say something happened to our civilsation, would future generations ponder the same things with out skyscrapers?
Edit: I know about the ramp ideas, and make sense, but I thought there as still doubt on that, be then again I haven't read up on it in years.
anyways here is a good read that show how complex the pyarmids are.
