The Pyramid of Menkaure's date of construction is unknown, because Menkaure's reign has not been accurately defined, but it was probably completed in the 26th century BC. | The Pyramid of Menkaure's date of construction is unknown, because Menkaure's reign has not been accurately defined, but it was probably completed in the 26th century BC. | ||

So while it would be very hard, three or four people could pull the 3 tonnes for a small pyramid stone that is on a tree type rolling system. And 80 people (or less) could likely pull the largest stone. But they had over 10,000 people, so what's the problem? | So while it would be very hard, three or four people could pull the 3 tonnes for a small pyramid stone that is on a tree type rolling system.

Lastly, the early Greeks had a crane that was able to lift around 20 tons. Today we have cranes that can lift 20,000 tons. So to say that it could never be done even today is, at best, an ignorant statement, and to say the Egyptians were smarter than us is | Lastly, the early Greeks had a crane that was able to lift around 20 tons.

We could build the Great Pyramid today and it wouldn’t require aliens or technology that we do not have today. As impressive as the Great Pyramid is, its engineering problems are known and solvable. Engineers like Jean Pierre Houdin have articulated in detail how the pyramid could have been built without modern machinery. | |||
And why did William Branham fail to mention the failed pyramid projects, such as the pyramid of Huni (it collapsed) which was built during the reign of Sneferu, the father of Khufu? Maybe, those were dumb Egyptions. What about the Bent Pyramid or the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which was built in stages. These are all examples of human engineering — the Egyptians learned how to build pyramids gradually, trying new techniques and learning from failures. Pyramid engineering evolved through various transitions. The pyramids themselves demonstrate this quite clearly. To say they needed alien help | |||
To say the Egyptians were smarter than us is just insulting.. The real stupidity is that William Branham failed to check the facts (surprise!). To compound this stupidity, he then communicated his ignorant conclusions to thousands of people who thought of him as infallible. | |||
