Uncertain grounds
On the flipside, Im sure the Egyptians/Pyramid Builders around the world would be pretty impressed with what we have created, particularly in such a short time frame. If we develop a time machine, and take a pyramid builder from that time period and bring them here, Im sure that person would get on a computer, learn the internet and be completely amazed. The same thing goes for cars, rocket-ships, other satellites and wireless tech and of course, the time machine itself and etc.

That builder would tell us, oh yeah we built the pyramid like this...but how in the world did you guys do that?

Correct......

This heiroglyph is from 300 BCE and shows craftsmen using a lathe which had been around since the 7th Century BCE.

C'mon son....

That object I posted was made out of granite. I thought a lathe was used to cut wood in those times. Even still, the math aint adding up just by using a lathe

As stated, the Egyptians were using Algebra and Geometry so that accounts for the precision. The 'slaves' were actually master craftsmen, many of whom were actually buried in tombs near the pyramids they helped construct. To be sure, slaves were used for menial labors, but they were overseen by craftsmen and it doesn't make sense to 'starve' slaves.

How do you explain the relation between all the pyramids around the world?

The Great Pyramid is aligned with Machupicchu, the Nazca lines and Easter Island along a straight line around the center of the Earth, within a margin of error of less than one tenth of one degree of latitude. Other sites of ancient construction that are also within one tenth of one degree of this line include: Perseopolis, the capital city of ancient Persia; Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of the Indus Valley; and the lost city of Petra. The Ancient Sumarian city of Ur and the temples at Angkor Wat are within one degree of latitude of this line. The alignment of these sites is easily observable on a globe of the Earth with a horizon ring. If you line up any two of these sites on the horizon ring, all of the sites will be right on the horizon ring. 3-D world atlas software programs can also draw this line around the Earth. Start on the Equator, at the mouth of the Amazon River, at 49° 17' West Longitude; go to 30° 18' North Latitude, 40° 43' East Longitude, in the Middle East, which is the maximum latitude the line touches; then go to the Equator at 130° 43' East Longitude, near the Northwest tip of New Guinea; then to 30° 18' South Latitude, 139° 17' West Longitude, in the South Pacific; and then back to 49° 17' West Longitude, at the Equator.

Lathes were used to cut/shape stone. This is evident by noting the amount of mass-produced vases at Saqqara. One of Imhotep's titles was 'Chief Vase Maker'.

Actually, its not insulting. I'm just using a little common sense.

I think people love to over complicate things for the sake of impressing others when in reality, its the simplest explanation that's always the right one.

First, its silly to try to understand why an alien civilization would do anything. There is no reason to speculate the unkown because it can't be proven so why try to lean to your own understanding when its obviously limited in this particular context....

And nano technology looks extremely promising, but where are the infrastructures that are currently in place using nano tech....??
The bolded is a moot point because that's the entire basis of this discussion.
Speculation on what an ancient alien race would do if they came into contact with humans and the main thing pushed in this thread is they would (or did)
create pyramids.

And fine we don't even have to use "nano technology" stainless steel which is the
result of modern technology is better than it's predecessors and that's happened
in the last century or so.

We'll likely see similar developments during our lifetime.
IE. Nano fiber.

:snoop:

You sure you aint referring to a modern lathe...

Again, this lathe would have to be used by hand, correct? Lets just say that this lathe was used to cut stone.

You can get those type of exact mathematical proportions by hand?

I think stone>>stainless steel as far as durability and withstanding the elements...

Lathes have been around since at least the 7th Century BCE.

Yes. Anyone who's used a lathe will tell you the same and it's quite easy to achieve.

This was granite son....


Maybe some of that weaker stone, but granite?



Nah. Aint buying it....The math was too exact and granite is too hard and difficult to get those proportions by hand...


Agree to disagree on this one.

But agree that no aliens were involved...Aliens from out of space that is

Ancient Kemetians used papyrus to slide the stones needed to build the pyramids. Our ancestors were more advanced intellectually than history books would suggest. They also didnt create technologies that would pollute our air and water supply.
