In fact I think everytime I stumble on a pyramid documentary my mind seems to get blown over and over and over again. I should fix this... GOLDFISH of a memory.

Interesting vid. That exact same mismatched stonework they focus on in the latter portion of the film is found in, I believe, only one other place in the world, Central and South America, where it is ascribed to a race about whom virtually nothing is known, the Olmec.

Yeah I do love the part about how they tied it all in. Even if these were different branches along the evolutionary path I can understand as to how they've all come to the same conclusion in terms of architecture but the modern day mathematicians, scientists and architects pretty much answered it all.
It's a close to impossible task now so how could ancient egyptians have achieved it and the coincidence or the possibility of it is almost zero.
Man these videos always get me on the hunt lol. I've been searching thru NASA photos and other databases to see these sites described on the video on mars and the moon.

I'm totally unconvinced any of the great pyramids was ever used as a tomb. I mean, the Taj Mahal is pretty impressive a far as mortuary's go, but it's several orders of magnitude below the pyramids with regard to the effort invested. The design alone demonstrates they were built to endure basically forever. The age issue is also fascinating. Carbon dating the granite is obviously not particularly helpful. I've seen theories that make a rather plausible case that they are anywhere from 15,000 - 25,000 years old. Which makes recorded human history much more interesting...
Cydonia on Mars is fascinating.
The vid you posted in this thread...I'd never heard that the Egyptian pyramids have 8 sides before. I'll have to look into that.

Well, at least built with the sole intent of being used as a tomb. They have been used as such after the fact.

Yeah, I'll admit it caught my interest with the Ancient Aliens series but I think it had more of the wrong effect especially when they started to make some ridiculous episodes.
I do like how someone broke down the structure of the pyramid and compared to to Tesla's wireless transmission of power. Both fundamentally built the same way and it supports some of the drawings and how they would've lit these chambers. I did dig up one about the sphinx as well and there's scientific evidence suggest the water erosion that occurred places the water source right over the quarry which supposedly built the pyramids at the time.
I can't come to any conclusion with that but it's high suspect it may have existed before the ancient egyptians.

The erosion of the walls in which the Sphinx is found and its lower portion does, at the very least, support its age being significantly greater than circa approx. 4000 BC. If I recall correctly, it's the water erosion there that the geologists used to peg the age of the Sphinx and pyramids to around 15,000 - 25,000 years. That was the last time they thought the climate in that part of the world would have supported enough water to cause the erosion. It's all very fascinating.
I'd never heard about the structure of the pyramid mirroring any of Tesla's work either, and I'm fairly familiar with him. Apparently I need to engage in some additional research!

What's always struck me about all the pyramids in the world is that they are so difficult to build (properly). A cone is infinitely easier to construct.
