Hey Harry,

As I said in another post, yeah it would take thousands of years, hence the word debunked :-P

I would like to address the life forms on other planets. When almost every scientist I know believe, yes there is possibly another civilisation out there, I wonder why is it so bad to think that?

Now I think the wrong assumption is that if there an alien race, they are definitely more advanced then ours? Why? Why do they have to be more advanced? Couldn't there be another planet like ours, with a civilsation thinking the same thing as us? Or they could be primitive culture as well. I think too many people have watched science fiction moves, and when they think Alien, they think of an advanced race, but may not be the truth.

My belief is I wouldn't be surprised with how vast the galaxy is. I am not sure if there is, but I be a fool to say definitely no.

Which brings me to the point about if Aliens helped the Egyptians by giving them tools. They didn't tell them build them. Hence some of the imperfections. Let me say I do not believe that, but people keep think of Star Trek it seems when they think of what aliens are.

What I think is the Egyptians had better technology then we think (and PLEASE do not confuse technology as a computer, or electronics, the WHEEL was a form of technology, just as fire, and stone hammers were). They have drill bits that have diamond marks in them in egypt, but can't find the diamonds. Some granite blocks are so large and cut to perfection and smooth, that they cannot believe that it was just a copper hammer that did it, as they cannot recreate it themselves. Some of the stones are over 100 tons, and even with our trucks, it would take more then one heavy duty truck to lift one of the stones.

I know everyone says they had a lot of labor, but how many people would it take to move a 100 ton stone? I don't think people give the Egyptions enough credit.
