(Startling Evidence)

The Giza Pyramids, Great Pyramids, or Pyramid of Khufu. One of the Seven wonders of the world and only one that is still around. Located on the Giza Plateau on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt.

(Egyptian Pyramids)

Travel and see one of the last wonders of the world Learn what life was like back then Sit where the Pharos sat

(Egypt Tourism Authority)

The Giza Pyramids are located just beside the Nile river and Nile River Delta

(Egypt Tourism Authority)

The Great Sphinx. Was built during the reign of King Khafre. Around 70 meters tall. A chapel was between its forepaws.

(Egyptian Pyramids)

These smaller pyramids was built for the queens. They had many inside chambers for the queens to sleep in.

(Egyptian Pyramids)

Many scientist believe that the pyramids were built by slaves, some think by thousands of skilled workers. (Egyptian Pyramids)

It took about 23 years to complete, 2,300,000 building blocks, each block weighed an average of 2.5 tons each (although some weigh as much as 16 tons). The length of the base is 755ft (230.4m) they rise at an angle of 51degrees to a height of 481ft. but nowadays 451ft.

So far we have discovered 138 pyramids Most built as tombs for Pharaohs The majority of them were built between 2630 and 2613 This was only a period of about 23 years

The Ancient Egyptians of the time had very little technology

(Daniken)

Some of the blocks are estimated to weigh around 2 tons This is approximately the weight of a Toyota 4Runner

(Car and driver)

The Egyptians only had manpower to move build the pyramids They had armies of slaves to get this work done, but still did it in an incredible amount of time

What about the fact that the Egyptians had not even invented the wheel yet, but the blocks that they had to carry to build the pyramids weighed about 2 tons each? 4,000 lbs.? What did they do... use cement? In fact, they used so much stone, that if you took all of the stone they used and cut it into 1 foot square blocks, it would extend 2/3 of the way around the earth!!! (startling)

If you take the perimeter of the pyramid and divide it by two times the height, you get a number that is exactly equivalent to the number pi (3.14159...) up to the fifteenth digit (Daniken)

The universe is infinitely big, and always expanding

(Hubble)

Odds are that there are life forms somewhere within the vast universe This seems logical as it is not impossible for life to exist in harsh conditions.

Surveyed 63 people across campus Fairly random sample, gathered in dorms Mixture of many different majors, not just engineers 42 believed aliens could exist, 21 did not

Believe in Aliens?

Yes No

Visitation Possible

Yes No

Of the 42 people who believed in Aliens, only 18 believed that visitation had happened. This means that 29% of people surveyed believe that Aliens could have visited

One estimate is that it would take between 17,000 to 18,000 men, all working together, to move such stones. It seems to me that the ancients either had access to technologies we no longer possess, or the stones were cut and moved by non-human creatures far stronger than ourselves.
