=Did the Great Pyramid ever have a capstone?= | |||
The Great Pyramid was built as a tomb for the pharaoh Cheops and was completed around 2560 BC. At completion, the Great Pyramid was surfaced by white "casing stones", blocks of highly polished white limestone. It was then topped by a capstone or pyramidion (called benbenet in the ancient Egyptian language). The pyramidion was generally covered in gold to reflect the rays of the sun. | |||
The capstone and the limestone casing were removed over the millenia by a combination of looters and earthquakes.<ref>Wikipedia, Great Pyramid of Giza and Pyramidon</ref> | |||

If the sun is higher than 52 degrees, the Egyptian pyramids won't cast a shadow. During the winter months, the pyramids cast a shadow for considerable parts of the day. Even in the simmer months, when the pyramids don't cast a shadow during large parts of the day, they still cast a shadow in the early morning and evening. | If the sun is higher than 52 degrees, the Egyptian pyramids won't cast a shadow.

''And they were '''much better scientists than we have today'''. Go down in Egypt and look at the pyramids setting in the middle of the earth. '''No matter where the sun is, there's never... Geographically, it's in the center of the earth. There's never a shadow around it, no matter where the sun is'''. How'd they do that? And '''these boulders, at least two city blocks high, that weigh a billion tons''', how'd they get them up there? Produce something now that'll lift them up there. They can't do it. | ''And they were '''much better scientists than we have today'''. Go down in Egypt and look at the pyramids setting in the middle of the earth.
