CaptainScat;
I offered to discuss faith or personal belief , just not on this thread. I also explained why I quoted The Bible ; as a source on angels more credible the The Book of Enoch. Do you have a better source on angels that is not mythology?
This was clearly in reference to building a replica of the Great Pyramid today, not how the ancient Egyptians did it.
A quote from a site on the Baalbek Trilithon, perhaps the same one you cite;
Enough said.

think you shouldn't quote jesus or the bible as an authoritative source if you don't want to discuss your faith or beliefs...

As I said to CaptainScat this is not the thread to discuss matters relating to faith or personal belief in that area. Start another thread or revive an older one such as "Bible" and I will gladly discuss it with you or anyone.

and regarding your 100 ton crane, expain how the trilithon at baalbek was put into place then? each one is 70 feet long, 14 feet high, 10 feet thick, and weigh around 800 tons, and what of the 1200 ton stone that is still left in the quarry. how did they move those stones from the quarry over the mountain to the building site at baalbek? with a 100 ton crane?
A quote from a site on the Baalbek Trilithon, perhaps the same one you cite;
Beneath the trilithon are another six huge building blocks, each 35 feet long and thus also larger than most building blocks used by humans anywhere else. No one knows how these stone blocks were cut, transported from the nearby quarry, and fit so precisely together. Some are so amazed at this feat of engineering that they have created fanciful tales of the Romans using magic or that the site was created centuries earlier by an unidentified people who had access to alien technology.
The fact that people today are unable to imagine how the construction was accomplished is not license to make up fairy tales, though. There are so many things which we today can do which the ancients couldn't even imagine; we shouldn't begrudge them the possibility that they could do a thing or two which we can't figure out yet.
