POPSLow-Tech Guide to Pyramid Building A canal to haul construction materials! This must be the work of Aliens! Honestly, I'm very confused by all the people who are convinced there is something mysterious about the Pyramids. Sure they are big buildings, although if you are going to build a giant monument, the shape of a pyramid is painfully simple and represents virtually no engineering challenge. It is impressive that they were built, without doubt, but why is it so unimaginable to so many people that it could have been made by normal people in the ancient world? A canal? A ramp? Rolling logs for wheels? These technologies are simple, even crude. If anything, they argue against the possibility of external guidance by an advanced civilization. So why is it that we are so enamored with the mystic wisdom we imagine as residing in the mundane past?
