Architect Claims to Solve Pyramid Secret
Alreadybutnotyet writes "A French architect claimed Friday to have uncovered the mystery about how Egypt's Great Pyramid of Khufu was built — with use of a spiral ramp to hoist huge stone blocks into place. The construction of the Great Pyramid 4,500 years ago by Khufu, a ruler also known as Cheops, has long befuddled scientists as to how its 3 million stone blocks weighing 2.5 tons each were lifted into place. 'The most widespread theory had been that an outer ramp had been used by the Egyptians, who left few traces to help archeologists and other scientists decode the secret to the construction. Houdin said he had taken into account the copper and stone tools available at the time, the granite and limestone blocks, the location of the pyramid and the strength and knowledge of the workers.'"

This isn't the same spiral pyramid idea you've seen on Discover Channel. This spiral is on the INSIDE.
Actually I think it has been pretty well established that the pyramids were built by space aliens....
The Bible says slaves were used to build the pyramid. The Bible says it is the word of God and therefore it must be true. Cite all the sources you want, but there isn't any higher authority on anything than the Word of God.
