A dam is very near a pyramid in a build point of vue (very large at the bottom, thin at the top), if you looks the way the built for example the hoover dam, you will see that the result was entirely different.
Sorry powerdoc,
The angular compression ratios are completely different.
Besides which water weighs less than limestone per cubic metre.

Proof..simple..limestone would float otherwise.
Thanks for the incredible info, i always believed that rock flotted.
I just said that if you look at a dam, there is no interstice between the different blocks. A dam is not build of one piece, but is made of several portions of concrete (with an armature) : but the result is that it's look like if there is only one piece.
The more I think about it the more I am amazed by the whole pyramid thing.
I also saw a program about the great wall of china. It stated that certain parts of the wall contained the hardest bricks ever made by man..even up to the present day.
Yet despite that hardness, the years of exposure to fierce wnds , sandstorms, snowstorms etc had eroded ( hollowed out ) many of these super tough bricks.
Yet, ( here is the real suprise package ) the mortar remained in pristine condition; showing virtually no wear at all..
Engineers puzzled over this for years, until they hit upon a peice of ancient writing that suggested that the mortar was made up of lime and highly refined " rice flour ".
Apparently the cellulose bonded chemically in such a way as to may the mortar virtually rock hard and hygroscopically ( water resistant ) inert .
Rice flour, eh? That's actually not surprising. On a lighter note, you virtually can't eat anything Chinese that doesn't have rice flour in it. They found ways to put in practically anything- all the pastry treats...it's almost all some combination of rice flour and mung beans. Rice flour must be like the universal additive to Chinese culture, I'm thinking. I bet they could make it a fuel additive if they wanted to!
Rimmer: They must do, Lister! There's so many things that are strange and odd. So many things we don't have any explanation for.
Lister: Like, um, why do intelligent people buy cinema hot dogs? Do you mean that sort of weird and mysterious thing?
Rimmer: No, Lister, I mean like the pyramids. How did they move such massive pieces of stone without the aid of modern technology?
Lister: They had massive whips, Rimmer. Massive, massive whips.
Rimmer: All right, then, the Bermuda Triangle. Go on, explain that one. You know all the answers.
Lister: No, I agree there. That is a genuine mystery. How did a song like that ever become a hit? It defies all reason.
Rimmer: I just don't know why I bother. I'd get more sense out of a squashed hedgehog. Lister, don't you ever stop and wonder, why are we here? What's the grand purpose?
Lister: Why does it have to be such a big deal? Why can't it be like, like, human beings are a planetary disease? Like the Earth's got German measles or facial herpes, right? And that's why all of the other planets give us such a wide berth. It's like, "Oh, don't go near Earth! It's got human beings on it, they're contagious!"
Rimmer: So you're saying, Lister, you're an intergalactic, pus-filled cold sore! At last, Lister, we agree on something.
From what I learned the Romans created the strongest cement known to man by mixing the concrete with a certain type of volcanic ash....
Yep, they also invented the world's first marine concrete. hardens underwater..cool..and actually gets stronger with age.
You know, the whole pouring concrete ( in various forms ) makes the pyramids a perfect candidate.
After all we have records of the method by which the captured "isralites" made bricks out of mud slurry with an admix of chaff & other organic material.
So it really isn't much of a leap to make, in relation to the pyramids. All materials on site. Plenty of water. wood (Lebanese cedar)
Hewn stone is far more labor intensive and the logistics of even keeping a "slave" army of workers would make it a massive job. But at the risk of being scoffed at, I am going to put up a new post relating to a phenomena that I personally experienced & that has some bearing on these issues.

Ahh, but it does float. See the following evidence:

Only because it is caught in the para-psychic rays of Menhet-Ra's Royal " pyramidic " boat.
* Note "pyramidic sails " sending rays to the left of Gi-normus limestone block....

Hey who ya calling an armature?
Point taken Powerdoc.

How cool is that8)

Well the child in me wants to say UFOs and aliens were involved but more than likely it was at the crack of a whip.

Hmmm...I can think of at least a few Ai'rs who would jump at the chance of doing the whipping..
Mind you some of them would like to be flogged too ...
