There are some interesting facts about the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Apperantly the Great Pyramid was never meant to be a tomb. No king was ever buried there and the Great Pyramid is unusual in that it has no pharoah markings on it as all the other pyramids in Egypt do.
Furthermore, The cubit dimensions of the inner chamber of the Temple, the Holy of Holies in Jerusalem, are precisely identical in size to the King's Chamber in the Pyramid and the same volume as the molten sea of water on the Temple Mount as prepared by King Solomon. The Holy of Holies was the room that held the ark. Since the Pyramid was built and sealed long before the days of Moses, when he built the Ark and the Holy of Holies, and had remained sealed for over twenty-five centuries until the ninth century after Christ, there is no natural explanation for the phenomenon of both structures having identical volume measurements the King's chamber in the Great Pyramid are the precise dimensions of "the Holy of Holies" in Jerusalem.
The ark's dimensions are described by the bible as 2.5 cubits by 1.5 cubits by 1.5 cubits (62.5 inches by 37.5 inches by 37.5 inches). Curiously, this is the exact volume of the stone chest or porphyry coffer in the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid in Egypt. This coffer was the only object within the King's Chamber, as the Ark was the single sacred object within the Holy of Holies, in the Temple. Also the laver, or basin, that the priests used to wash their feet had the identical cubit dimensions.
There seems to be strong evidence in the Bible that proves the Great Pyramid wasnt built for Egyptian gods but the Great God of Moses that Jewish and Christian people worship today.
The Book of Isaiah says this...... "In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the Land of Egypt, and a monument at the border thereof to the Lord, and it shall be for a sign, and for a witness unto the Lord of Hosts in the Land of Egypt" (Isaiah 19:19-20). In the Hebrew language of the scripture, each of the original 30 words has a numerical value because each Hebrew letter is also a number. When the 30 words are added up, the total is 5,449, which is one of the most significant and dominant numbers of the Pyramid. It is the exact height of the Pyramid in sacred Jewish inch. Also consider there were origionally 144,000 casing stones on the Great Pyramid. That number is significant in the book of Revelation. BTW The casing stones weighed as much as 20 tons were placed with an accuracy of 5/1000ths of an inch, and an intentional gap of about 2/100ths of an inch for mortar.
"2 And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,
3 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads."
The 144,000
4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel"
Another interesting observation is that the "capstone" on the Great Pyramid is missing.
Matthew 21:42 says this:
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES.
In the book of Peter he is quoting Psalm 118:22
The stone rejected by the builders was chosen by God, the chief builder, to be the capstone. Peter is pointing that Jesus Christ was rejected and crucified by his own people. But God who is building the spiritual house (verse 2:5) has chosen Jesus Christ to be the capstone of that building made up of all the believers in Jesus Christ.
The scripture says there shall be a monument on the border in the land of Egypt. When the Bible is making reference to the "border" it means the border of upper and lower Egypt. The Great Pyramid sits precisely on that border. So there seems to be alot of evidence pointing to the fact that the great Pyramid was built for the God of Moses. The Great Pyramid at Giza, was not designed by Pharaoh but by Enoch (Noah's Grandfather), the man who walked with God. (Read the "Book of Enoch" – Genesis 5: 24). Egyptian laborers were used but the intelligence in the exact design came from the DESIGNER of the Universe, and that’s what Enoch passed on to the builders of the Great Pyramid. This explains why no pharoah has placed claim on building the Great Pyramid. In fact there are NO Egyptian writing any where in the Great Pyramid and all the other pyramids do. And it is because Enoch was the master builder, that the Great Pyramid in ancient times was called ‘Enoch’s Pillar’. His godly influence as a ‘desert shepherd’ in turning the Pharaoh’s heart temporarily to the Lord ruled, before the Egyptian rulers reverted back to their worship of many gods. Enoch’s Pillar was placed exactly as a boundary and cornerstone in Egypt, as only the Creator of the whole world would have known.
For the Great Pyramid was not just a stone structure stuck randomly on the plateau of Giza. The Lord’s PILLAR, the Great Pyramid of Giza, is situated exactly at the center of gravity of the Earth, as geographers and mathematicians have now found out. For do remember that the Earth at one time was just one land mass, which the Lord later divided and spread apart, not by inch by inch continental drift, but by cataclysmic power after the Flood. Consequently the Giza location is also on the longest possible landmass line whether in longitude or latitude. And hence any true researcher has to come to the conclusion that the Great Pyramid’s very location was divinely inspired and NOT chosen by accident or chance.
But it goes even further. It was not a mere burial tomb for a dead Pharaoh, but was meant to show "in stone" the Timeline of Mankind until the 2nd Coming of the King of Kings. This is why it incorporates the dimensions of the Earth, Moon, and the template of life called the Golden Section which the Creator used in both the microcosm as well as the macrocosm. And if you study pyramidology, you will soon discover that an inch equals a year in time by theory. And that theory accurately and precisely parallels the exact history of the Earth when you add up all the 500 feet of both its height and its passageways. Why because 500 feet equals 6000 inches which equals 6000 years.
And Enoch stated very precisely that there was going to be Seven thousand years before the Earth was renewed. And when you take away one thousand years, for the Lord’s Millennial rule before this NEW HEAVEN and NEW Earth, and descent of New Jerusalem to the Earth, then that leaves us with a 6,000 year rule of man. Hence the Pillar of Enoch was an exact prophetic marker and WITNESS as well as an altar, from which His people were to give glory and honor to the Creator. And that is why, internally it’s dimensions and sarcophagus parallels the most sacred Temple of All, the TABERNACLE consisting of The ARK of the Covenant inside the HOLY OF HOLIES. The parallels are exact because the Lord is exact. Also note that the point at which tunnels change angles are points when you enter a different chamber marks important events in history like the Birth of Christ and many other event throughout history even in the 20th century.
once again scriptures refering to the Great Pyramid in Egypt:
“That is why we said ‘Let us get ready and build an altar - but not for burnt offering or sacrifices. On the contrary, it is to be a witness between us and you and the generations that follow...’” (Josh. 22, 26 - 27)
----------------------------
“In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the Lord at it's border. It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt.” (Isa. 19, 19 - 20)
----------------------------
“The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” (Psal. 118, 23)
----------------------------
Other quotes:
“The Great Pyramid as a Prophetical Monument: a lasting record in stone which was only to be understood in the latter days of the world.” (Piazzi Smyth, Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid)
The Great Pyramid indeed is a marvel. You know God had something to do with it if our modern technology and cranes cant build those great pyramids today. Something to think about.
- The pyramid is the most comprehensively surveyed building in the world.
- The Giza Plateau has a fairly level granite bedrock base, in essence, a flat topped mountain. Other regions near the Great Pyramid could not have supported the immense weight of the structure.
- There is so much stone mass in the pyramid that the interior temperature is constant and equals the average temperature of the earth, 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The pyramid is estimated to have 2,300,000 stone blocks weighing from 2-30 tons each with some weighing as much as 70 tons.
- The outer mantle was composed of 144,000 casing stones, all highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch, about 100 inches thick and weighing about 15 tons each with nearly perfect right angles for all six sides. also [11:146]
- The average casing stone on the lowest level was 5 ft. long by 5 ft. high by 6 ft. deep and weighed 15 tons.
The casing stones weighing as much as 20 tons were placed with an accuracy of 5/1000ths of an inch, and an intentional gap of about 2/100ths of an inch for mortar.
- Assuming 590,712 blocks and a build time of 20 years an average of 81 blocks per day would need to be placed. Using 10 work crews per side of the pyramid, each work crew would need to place 2 blocks per day.
- The mortar used is of an unknown origin. It has been analyzed and it's chemical composition is known but it can't be reproduced. It is stronger than the stone and still holding up today.
- The cornerstone foundations of the pyramid have ball and socket construction capable of dealing with heat expansion and earthquakes.
- The granite coffer in the King's Chamber is too big to fit through the passages and so it must have been put in place during construction.
-The coffer was sawed out of a block of solid granite. This would have required bronze saws 8-9 ft. long set with teeth of sapphires. Hollowing out of the interior would require tubular drills of the same material applied with a tremendous vertical force
- There are no hieroglyphics or writings in the Great Pyramid

I agree that the Pyramids are a marvel, but why would you say that we could not produce one today? In Las Vegas engineers have built a hollow pyramid which is much more of engineering marvel.

The difference is that the pyramid in Las Vegas wasnt built with 20 to 40 ton stones. No crane in the world can lift such stones and the Great Pyramid is 40-stories tall. People also overlook the amazing accuracy of the Great Pyramids as well. It almost exactly aligned true north. No building on earth today comes that close to true north accuracy.

I know that your claim that no crane can lift such stones is nonsense. When I worked at a petrochemical complex we were building a new production line and had a crane that had a counter weight of 1,000,000 pounds. Thats like 500 U.S. tons. That could easily lift a 40 ton stone. Here are some other cranes that could do it.
Civilian use GPS (which isn't the most accurate) is accurate to 15 meters.
The great pyramid is accurate to 3 arch seconds with corresponds to 60.75 meters.
So using modern GPS a building could be constructed to 1 to an accuracy of 1 arch second.
In Addition, we see development in the construction of pyramids. The first ones that were built were not nearly so precise. The builders of pyramids had to practice to get it right. It is an amazing piece of engineering no doubt about that but I am sure we could replicate it today.
The reason why no modern builders have replicated the great pyramid is probably because no one wants to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a pile of rocks.

Not for me its not. The question I was interested in was why you felt that modern builders couldn't build a pyramid. I am not really concerned about how or why the ancient builders did it.
