I am trying to figure out if the giants made the pyramids.

The pyramids of Egypt:
How on earth did they manage to cut, move and raise the stones?
Pyramids of GizaThe pyramids are impressive structures of stone. Made of limestone, granite and basalt. Millions of stones, some of them as heavy as 80 tons. But how did the ancient Egyptians manage to cut them, transport them over great distances and make them into tall pyramids? Some say that they had help by aliens from outer space but might be the help came from giants from the mountains of Siberia?

The pyamids of Giza in Egypt are said to have been built around 2500 BC, as tombs for their kings - the pharaohs. The pharaohs were considered to be mediators between the gods and the people, or even demigods, and the accepted theory is that the pharaohs were mummified to make the king's spirit able to stay with the body when he died. Their coffins were then placed in pyramids to protect their bodies and spirits in the journey to eternal life.
    The gods had helped the people to develop their society and also to maintain peace and harmony. There were more that 2000 gods and deities in ancient Egypt. When the Christian faith started to take foothold in Egypt the local gods were also said to live in heaven, but the original belief was that the gods were born, lived and died on Earth.

The gods
A bit about the gods: Amun-Ra, also called Amon ("the hidden one"), was the king of the gods and goddesses. Osiris was the god of vegetation and made sure that the Nile flooded and made the land fertile. He married his own sister Isis and was murdered by his brother Seth. Their child was Horus. He avenged his father's death and ruled Egypt. Thoth was the god of knowledge and wisdom. He was the one to teach the Egyptians science and philosophy - and shall have created the 365-days calendar.
    Married his own sister - murdered his brother..? Not very godly like were they? But they obviously had more knowledge than ordinary people.
    
If we look at ancient statues and depictions of the gods and the pharaohs you might notice that the gods are much taller than the pharaohs. Some say that this is because they wanted to glorify the gods.
     Well, the gods might not look like Egyptians but then why did they then make them look like human beings? The gods seem to have had more European features - even blue eyes! Yes, ancients statues and depictions show that their gods were what we can call giants. Not 3-4 meters giants from fairy-tales, but about two and a half meter tall.
     When all the gods of Egypt had died the people had to manage on their own. The king that seemed to have inherited the most of the genes after the gods was Ramses II. He was a bit taller than 2 meters - almost half a meter taller than people at that time. He did not look like an Egyptian. He face had more Scandinavian features - with a sharp, long nose. He had natural red hair when he was alive - and some depictions show him with blue eyes.
     When Ramses II died in 1214 BC, at an age of 90, he had more or less changed the country: He had made Egypt rich from the supplies he had collected from other empires. The Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor". Ramses was not burried in a pyramid but in the Valley of the Kings. Today his mummy is in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
First pyramid
The first pyramid was, after what we know, erected by and for the pharaoh Djoser - completed about 2600 BC. Well, no coffin or mummy of him has been found in the pyramid so something must have happened - for how could he manage to come to the afterlife?
     Djoser's architect was Imhotep ("He comes in peace"). Not the bald-headed character from the film. In fact, the statue found of him he looks more like he was a child! The strange thing about the statue is that it looks like has a large back-head, like an elongated skull. Well, one legend says that Imhotep was the son of the god Ptah - and also he had a very large back-head!
     Imhotep was so clever that he became Djoser's vizir, and later even considered a god. He is believed to have come with the idea that Djoser should put several mastabas, ancient Egyptian tombs, on top of each other - and that way he made the first pyramid.
     Archaeologists have now discovered that there is a huge trench completely surrounding the pyramid, and that there are more than 7,5 kilometres of tunnels under the pyramid! The stones used for Djosers pyramid is limestone, quite easy to cut, but the burial chamber has huge blocks carved out of granite - which should be impossible with the tools they had at the time.
     Pyramid of Djoser is 62 meters tall, about the same as a 20-storey building. It has a base of 100x120 meters, which is larger than a soccer-field.
Great Pyramid of Giza
Djoser's pyramid is far from the tallest or largest pyramid in Egypt. That is the Great Pyramid of Giza - also called Pyramid of Khufu or Pyramid of Cheops. Many people believe that the pyramid with the casting stones covering the top third of the pyramid is the Great Pyramid but that is the pyramid of pharaoh Khafre - the son of Khufu - who also is said to have made the famous Sphinx.
    The Great Pyramid is 147 meters tall and has a base of 230x230meters. It is made of about 2.3 million stone blocks weighing 2,5 to 15 tons. In the so-called King's Chamber and Grand Gallery there are there are granite block weighing 50 tones or more.
     And pharaoh Khufu? We do not know - his body/mummy has never been found. The box of red granite in the King's chamber is not big enough for a sarcophagus of a king!
    
Buried in a hillside cave system about 12 miles south of the Great Pyramid are some large black "boxes" of granite. How did they manage to make and move these Serapeum of Saqqara? How did they manage to get the enormous lids placed on top of the boxes? Who made them? How? And why?
Copper chiesels
The belief is that the ancient Egyptians carved the stone out from quarries with copper chisels and then dragged and lifted them into position. Well, copper chisels will not be able to cut granite - and event today with the largest cranes in the world we would have trouble lifting 15 ton stone blocks almost 150 meters in the air. 50 tons or more - forget it!
    It must be safe to say that we do not know what kind of the technology they used to built the pyramids.
    Jars and vases found in the Great Pyramid, and today at display in a Cairo museum, are even a greater mystery. Some of them are made of granite and some of basalt, hollow and with thin walls. A few even have long necks. It must be safe to say that we would struggle to replicate those vases today - even with the most modern diamond tipped drills!
The Shamir
Did Imhotep have a unique technique he taught the ancient Egyptians? He not only was behind the first pyramid of Egypt, he was also called the father of medicine and writing. Imhotep rose in the ranks to become the vizier to the pharaoh and later he was as earlier mentined even considered to be a god.
    Well, even with all his knowledge it should still be impossible to cut granite and basalt with chisels of copper. But might be he had a another tool? Might be the Shamir?
     The Shamir is said to have been a "substance" that Moses used to engrave the jewels for the priestly breastplate. It was said that the "magical Shamir" could cut through or disintegrate stone, iron and diamond.
    If Moses that led the Israelites out of Egypt by parted the Red Sea was a historical person, then he should have lived during the reign of pharaoh Ramses II. And most probably have been born in the late 14th century BC.
     Later king Salomon, who reigned app. 970-931 BC, should have found the Shamir and used it to make the first temple of Israel.
Channels
So let us say that they managed to cut the small and large stones, by manpower or a magical tool - how did they manage to move the stones from the quarry in Aswan about 1000 kilometres south of Giza? Some say that they dug channels from the Nile and freighted them on boats or rafts. Let us say that they managed to get onboard a stone of 2 tons - how many years would that take to move the 2.3 million stones for the Great Pyramid? Much longer time than a pharaoh's lifetime! Another study says that they moved the stone blocks across the desert by wetting the sand in front of sledges. Well, Egypt was not a desert when the pyramids were built - the area was lush and green!
    Might be Imhotep, or a later vizier/builder, had a tool that could make the stones fly? Or at least levitate? Might be the Shamir could manage that as well?
Ramps
Mainstream archaeologists say that the ancients managed to get the stone block up the walls by using ramps made of sand or stone scraps. Well, there was a lack of sand in the area since Giza not was a desert like it is today, and the stone scraps would have been far away in Aswan and not in Giza. But of course it would have been possible. But...all the way to the top of the Great Pyramid - 150 meters up? For a ramp not to be too steep to manage to push the stones upwards by manpower the ramp would most probably have to be bigger in volume than the pyramid itself! Yes, levitating stone would have made the job much more easy!
Lost technology
Some researchers say that the ancients must have had a technology that we do not have today. Lost, secret or hidden tochnology. The clairvoyant Edgar Cayce said that there is an ancient library, Hall of Records, under the Sphinx but so far nothing has been found. Some say secret information telling the truth of the past will be found in a not yet accessible room under the Great Pyramid. The Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt would have had lot of information but it was burned down by Julius Caesar in 48 BC. The Book of Enoch has some interesting information about ancient giants, demons and angels. Enoch is supposed to have been the great-grandfather of Noah.
Far older
The Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza are supposed to have been built during the Fourth Dynasty, a period that lasted from 2614 to 2492 BC. Robert Schoch, a professor and geologist from the USA, created a fuss when said that the weathering patterns on the Sphinx show that it must be far older - at least seven thousand years old. Recently two researchers from Ukraine have proposed that the Sphinx is about 800.000 years old - and back it up by science!
     Some researchers say that also the Great Pyramid is far older than believed: That it not was made by/for the pharaoh Khufu (Cheops). That the knowledge needed to build a pyramid with such precision did not exist at that time.
Different periods of time
The Norwegian scientist and explorer Thor Heyerdahl asked it humanity might have been extinct to almost the last man. And might be more than one time - like legends all over the world say. He says that legends were the history books when writing did not exist - told from generation to generation not to be forgotten.          Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian that lived around 50 BC wrote the following: "The Egyptians were strangers, who, in remote times, settled on the banks of the Nile, bringing with them the civilization of their mother country, the art of writing, and a polished language. They were the most ancient of men."
Denisovans
Could the ancient Egyptians have had some help from the mountains of Siberia - from the Denisovans?
    The Armenian-Greek mystery teacher Gurdjieff believed that the there had been an advanced civilisation in Central Asia about 40.000 years ago - who had inherited their knowledge from "the old master magicians of Altai."
    We do not know much about the Denisova hominins but we know that they had a technology they should not have - at least 30.000 years ago! Findings in the Denisova cave in the Altai mountains point to that they were very tall and they most probably had white skin and red or blond hair.
    The Denisovans had clothes and jewellery, they made art - and they most probably rode horses. Did they leave Siberia and travelled the world? Well, DNA have found so far away as Solomon Islands and Australia! Egypt? Were the Denisovans the forefathers of the pharaohs? The gods? Was Imhotep a descendant of the magicians from the Altai Mountains? We do not know - yet. And we might never know. Because there is the major problem: The Denisovans were not humans!
    Is our ancient history fake?

What do you think?
Do you have any ideas, thoughts or facts - please send them to Terje Dahl: terje@sydhav.no
Here are the ideas, thoughts and facts our readers have sent in:

They dindt cut it. They made it from sand. Nile river have most aliuminium oxides in the world. Best mixture for concrete. And what can make concrete more likely like a stone, than an Africa sun. If you climb higher up the pyramid, on stones you will find lines from a formation wood tool, as we making house fundament. Its like giant bricks, make the same technic. Dont know about huge granite blocks, thats other story..
