The stones for pyramids were cut in square blocks during the Old Kingdom- copper or bronze tools would not have cut the limestone rock. Sarcophagi of granite with carved sharp corners of perfect angles and knife-like edges and plumb-straight lines, sculptures with finely cut lines of eyelids and lips dating from the Fourth Dynasty, and the sharp lines of hieroglyphics cut into granite and ...

Pyramid logistics Scientific American Sept 98, p. 76 Although no one knows for certain how the Great Pyramid was built, some mathematical work indicates that it would only have required 10,000 men over the period of 23 years of Khufu's reign and not the 100,000 reported by Herodotus.

... Book Review section) by W. H. Stiebing, Jr. An Associate Professor of history at the University of New Orleans, Stiebing critically reviews several popular theories and ideas that have gained wide currency. The popular concepts treated by Stiebing are the universality of the Deluge, Atlantis, cosmic catastrophism, ancient astronauts, the mysteries of the pyramids, and early voyages to the Americas. Our comments on Velikovsky's ancient historical revisions will be augmented by Stiebing's recent Biblical Archaeology Review (Vol. II, 1985, 58ff.) article which considers this matter as well as other "restorations" of ancient history and archaeology. In this pursuit I have had the opportunity to present some ...

Douglas Rockville, MD To the Editor of KRONOS: I am writing in reference to Alban Wall's article, "A Calendric View of Stonehenge", that appeared in KRONOS VIII:2 .

At the foot of the pyramid had been placed a sacrificial bowl containing bits of paper taken from the victims to be, each piece representing a particular captive or slave.
