Canadian Inventor: Pyramids Were Rocked Into Place

seafortn writes "A Canadian man is claiming he has solved the mystery of the construction of the pyramids - the ancient Egyptians attached curved boards to the building blocks and rolled them into place."

Summary of Article.

Guy can move rocks from A to B by rocking and/or rolling.

Guy doesn't really know how the rocks were lifted 60ft into the air, but suggests 'shimmying' may have been part of it.

Next week - Guy explains that he can fly to the moon using only pogo sticks. "See, how bouncy they are," he says, "now just bounce a little higher and I'm there."

What a pointless, informationless article that was.

ANOTHER one...

Sheesh, one after another, trying to solve how th epyramids were built... Geesh, when will these people figure it out that these theories are all bogus, that the pyramids were built completely by natural erosion?

Ugg, I am so sick of this type of thinking.

Durgs - Blame Canadsa
Trrerorists - Blame Canadsa

now we're being blamed for the pyramids?

Or how about the possibility that the pyramids are not gargantuan but are merely very close up?

How come nobody every posits that theory indeed.

Dissapointed

When I first read the headline, I thought it said Canadian Inventor: Pyramids Were Rocketted Into Place. I had an image of an eccentric old man attaching explosive devices to 10 ton bricks, and flying them onto the top of a pyramid structure. What a let down.

"Considering the Egyptians did not know the wheel it is quite a bold assumption."

Considering that a major component of the Egyptian army was 'chariots' - that is quite a bold statement.
