Could we build the Great Pyramid today ??

Having a debate with a friend.

Do you think we could build The Great Pyramid using today's technology?

Cheers

I think so, but Its a bit short notice and I have plans.
Dont know about everyone else, but It is friday, so I guess they may have plans too!

Easily i reckon, we have machinery now!

**geeWcee** · 29th August 2003

Definately. Unless Baratts or Wimpey homes tried too.

**gunner** · 29th August 2003

Lol @ Jimbob..

Of course we could, whether we would want to is a different matter.... Mind you we built the millenium dome.

without any trouble at all as long as we suspended the human rights of the entire population, after all when they were built no one gave a fuk about the health or the saftey of the workers (slaves), i would imagine the only country where such a structure could be built at present would be somewhere like north korea where almost the entire population could be forced into it "for the good of the leader"

**Gavin M** · 29th August 2003

great, think i am going to have to imply north korea's policy's in my house

**Spike2k1** · 29th August 2003

yeah we could but they'd probably say it'd cost around 10 million and then after a month of work its gonna cost another 15 million due to mis judged time plan then a year later with half the work done the foundations start sinking as the contractors tried to cuts corners by not having the land checked before work took place so then we either knock down and build somewhere else or strengthen the weak ground under the new building...

As soon as it was built, a huge sign would be slapped on the side saying:-

"MACDONALDS - 500 YARDS ON LEFT"

hehe

Put Mcguyver on the job, give him a couple of yoghurt pots and a crab stick and he'd have a couple of pyramids up in no time.

Techincly the pyramid structure built in las vegas nevada was a far more complex construction task as its by its nature had to be a hollow structure, building by placing blocks one on top of the other like a child does with leggo is literaly childs play in comparison to building a hollow pyramid structure of and great size.

I believe there also plans afoot to create a hollow pyramid structure 86 times the size of the egyptian ones in tokyo harbour to create a city within the city, of course its a long way off but i was only hearing about it a few weeks ago (source discovery channel europe)

Luxor is awesome mate, I've got some sweet photo's of that place kicking about somewhere. I like the SG-1 style beacon at the top which is one of the brightest lights in the world (might be the brightest, you can see it from outer space)...

Here's a photo of Luxor I took a few months back:

Not bad to say I was twatted :nowords:

But the pyramids aren't totally hollow.
They are riddled with ttunnels, corridors, chambers, vents, a massive stone ball (Perhaps not).
