Thats why I asked !

I take it you doubt the authenticity of the invetory stela ?

Sorry. No, they aren't know for writing up their construction methods. So there is no reason to expect to find any. I'm not an Egyptologist though.

Surely they didn't reinvent the method for building a pyramid every time they set out though. Building instructions must have been recorded at some point, if lost to us now.

Unless they learned them orally. But you may be right.

I would think that everyone knew how to build them.
Thousands of people witnessed the construction!

True but it's the engeneering, as opposed to the "bricklaying" that would need to be recorded. There must have been a lot of engineering techniques that would be hard to accurately impart orally.

Thinking again, maybe that's how they screwed up with the "bent" pyramid. Hmmmm.....

No - more likely it was all just ego...

but that would indicate that in our age, everyone would know how to build a skyscraper because they witnessed one being erected.

the best guess at present would be that they probably had blueprints per se and that those plans were lost due to time, or wars or even fire. who is to say what records were stored in the library of alexandria when it went up in smoke.

This is why we like the guy. No politics, straight up, and scientifically sound.

why don't you write the vatican library and ask them
they did actually loot it before they burned what was left

Alexandria had several libraries. The Royal Library probably didn't exist at th e start of the Christian era. Others of course did and were later dispersed and destroyed. Exactly what happened is a mystery to them is not certain.Pick your favorite villain and you will find someone arguing that they did it.

Of course some of the old and accurate maps were saved away to Constantinople, to later be compiled to make the Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, which reveal that the ancients could accurately measure east-west distances (longitude), commonly thought to not have been possible before Harrison invented his chronometer, but with the methodology in article #2 at www.IceAgeCivilizations.com, they were able to achieve such.

Any chance of getting back to the subject of this thread?

Doug, the recent subject is the pillaging of the libraries at Alexandria, why didn't you interject when this subject came up?

I got distracted several posts before that. I didn't help keep it on thread, mea culpa. My lapse is no excuse for keeping off topic, and it's drifited a long way.

I can see the truth now

so come on Doug tell us cos we're all dying to know
how many kids did Jesus actually have

Doug, now that I look back just a few posts, it was you who injected the libraries at Alexandria into the conversation, now what do you say?
