Tom,
I watched the 2nd video also and agree this is probably how the pyramids were built....now for the 2nd part of the mystery how did they get the thousands and thousands of huge stones to the site from the quarries? They say via the Nile but somehow I have a hard time believing they had enough ships available for a task of that size.

...

Bill, the quarries for the normal lime stone blocks are directly in the area of the pyramid's! Just the red granite came from Assuan and I don´t remember yet where the white Tura lime stone blocks for the finish of the sides came from.
I don´t know if they was real Tura lime stone blocks because ALL of those who are now visible as finish stones are replicas! They have the wrong angle so they can´t be real and must be from 18 or 19 century. I would bet the finish was also made from stones of the quarries nearby!

The Nile was much higher at the time of the pyramids and there was harbors for this ships to bring the stones near to the pyramids. There was also ship locks to bring the stones on a level to get them easy from the ships.

The ships was also not a problem to transport very huge blocks. On papyri it is written that they used some time sup to 4 ships to transport larger sculptures and also obelisks.

About the video: The most interesting part is when they show this shafts and chambers which are not visible yet! In the 80´s I saw this square block just behind the sarcophagus and it was clearly to see that the joints was much wider as on all other stones. Also the sarcophagus is placed a wrong direction - just to cover this entrance to the real kings chamber! It has also exact the size from the block of the entrance to the kings chamber (it is now gone but the shaft size is the same)

It is a real shame that they need so long to open it and to research it. People has a right to know BEFORE they die!! Some times archeologists and those who are in charge simply me off

Yes. I won't eat tilapia either!

What's wrong with tilapia? Granted it isn't catfish. And I could almost live on jumbo shrimp.

Folks,

Fact is shellfish, catfish, tilapia, etc....are bottom feeders so they are scroungers. Kind of like the dumpster divers of the water.....

If none of us ate the questionable stuff probably a large part of the population would starve for lack of food....that's my story and I'm sticking to it......

Wild caught is the way to go!

Catfish are farmed in my state and fed the best money can buy. They are grown in a controlled environment as well as freshwater shrimp in the same pond. An old customer of mine has 32 ponds. 11/2 lbs. Is the ideal harvest size. A 2 lber. Is a cull. A catfish is the only fish that will grow a lb. For every lb. Of food it eats.

rook,

That's why what we read online or see in videos is not always 100% correct. Most fish farmed products or at least those produced in the West are done according to strict standards as to what they are fed and proper filtration/cleaning of waste products from their ponds.

Certain countries who will go unnamed are shall we say a bit less careful in how the fish or shellfish are raised.

Ironically shellfish such as mussels are way cleaner when produced commercially than when wild caught. The commercial ones are grown on ropes and filter algae from the water for nutrition. Those wild caught live in the muck on the bottom and require a few days to cleanse them with corn flour before they're ready to eat. The same method is recommended for wild caught crawfish.

Wild caught is the way to go!

That is very true. I have virtually given up on anything but fish and chicken. I had talapia in the hospital.
Wish I still lived on the little farm we had.
Wild caught game (and wild caught women) really are the best!

Hillbilly Prince,

Not sure if you have any garden space or not where you live but it doesn't take a lot of space if you use intensive gardening methods such as square foot gardening with raised beds, pots and other planting containers. We also forage quite a bit just picked some crabapples on the weekend for jelly and they were on municipal land in a nearby park also bought a book on foraging and it can be done even in cities and towns.

Food for thought(pun intended...lol).

I have been wanting to attempt such things as well as grow leaf lettuce through winter. Produce from the stores is tasteless junk in my opinion.
You post reminded me of one year when my dad planted a garden as usual. But something went awry because we ended up with what seemed to be thousands of potatoes. There was a mountain of them on the porch. I think a lot of them went to the tiny herd of pigs we had.

Re foraging.

I have learned a lot this past year from the guys in My Daily Snapshot about wildflowers that are edible and or have medicinal uses.
