Do you accept the current scientific theory of how the pyrimids of Egypt were built?
A man named Edward Leedskalnin built a castle of solid coral taken straigt from the bedrock of south Florida. He did this using large stones, many which weighed several tons each. He did this alone, and he did it with only basic tools. Nobody ever really saw him work.

This man claimed to have rediscovered the ancient techniques used to build the pyramids of Egypt. And he proved it through his actions. But he died without passing this knowledge on. (google it or go see if for yourself).

What is your take?

I do not accept that the pyramids (or at least all the pyramids) were built with slave / worker labour. I believe that the Great Pyramid at least is thousands of years older than archaeologists say it is.

From what I have read in the dim, distant past, I do believe that there are ways and means of superceding the dense physical laws of the 3-D word that we know. There are apparently applications of sound that can lift heavy weights; some ancient peoples are reputed to have been able to fly using these principles. The Atlanteans had flying machines that were powered by the "Night-side Forces" - a force that our science knows nothing (publicised) about; and perhaps that's best!

The reason that the chap mentioned didn't reveal his secrets could well be that he knew that they would be misused at this time in history, and didn't want that responsibility.

The pyramids are hugely impressive,but we have a fair grasp of methods. Some math and geometry,plus organised labour (farmers in the flood season,not the Israelites! The Bible only takes you so far if you don't read anything else...). It doesn't take "Chariots of the Gods" to figure out that building stone up in layers of decreasing size is a solid way to build. Some blocks were big,but if you have a workforce of around 100,000 going for 20 years...

This guy may have come up with some useful insights. He may have been a crackpot. Since he didn't pass his knowledge on,we will never know.
That happens a lot with people who lay claim to "secrets of the ages".

Personally, I think that if no one saw his methods, and he didn't share them, then his theory is completely unfounded. It may be possible, though. It's a shame that we may never know.

Well I'm not sure if he did it or not. But if he did rediscover the ancient Egyptian techniques it was pretty ****** of him not to pass it on.

I’ll tell you how they were built. The Egyptians had an entire nation enslaved. Not people from a nation but an entire nation. The Hebrew people built them. If I took every person from the U.S. and enslaved them and made them work I can have the pyramids built for you.

All those principles are bunk. The space aliens are the ones who moved the stones with their teleporter devices. In return the Egyptians all had to agree to having a chip implanted in their brains. After the pyramids were built the aliens left for a trip (took five hundred years) They forgot to program the chips and the egyptians all died because they couldn't have sex (that was the part that wasn't programmed) Anyway the ancient Egyptians all died out. When the aliens got back from the trip they realized their mistake. In order to conceal their screw up they made androids to take the Egyptians' places. If you don't believe me you can prove it for yourself. When you see an Egytian grab his/her left ear and turn clockwise while you kick himher in the shins. Their forehead will open to reveal their internal circuitry. It works - try it on the next Egyptian you see. Oh yeah, you have to kick them in the groin to make the forehead close back up.

Is this in fact current scientific theory or just popular conjector? The man has certainly left a very interesting and complelling legacy. His apparent detailed mathematical interest (as attributed by some) reminds me a little of the obsessiveness with systems and numbers etc that amphetamine addicts sometimes get into. The mathematics of the pyramids has been available for some time now, and I would think that a genius would be quite capable of incorporating these sorts of systems into his life's work rather easily, whether for the purpose of making it work, to incorporate his masonic beliefs, or just to have fun with people.
The other issue is that regardless of any apparent underpinning theory to his inventions, there does not appear to have been anyone making great headway into making his creations work? Why is this? Why is his inventions so unable to be turn on and used? Most working machines have some level of self-evident purpose.

The following website may be of interest to you if you have not already come across it. If nothing else, it may certainly serve to maintain the legend.

Shall God forbid anyone in the world is ever intelligent enough to figure out how ancient people achieved amazing feats ever again.

The area was under water at the time. The large stones were brought in by boat.

As the water continued to rise over many, many years, they had to keep building higher and higher layers onto the pyramids. So the stones that were being placed, were always placed at the water surface level.

The bible teaches us that the pyrimids were built by men of great power imposed by God. They were designed by the Lord to hold many chambers which refer to his plan of the ages. Inside the pyrimid are certain chambers that represent the rise and fall of mankind. To learn more about them buy the book, The great pyramid decoded" by E. Raymond Capt. This explains the meaning of each passageway and describes the chambers and their meaning in our lifetime.
