They theorize that they used boats to transport the blocks from quarry to site. OK, that may be feasible, but the blocks being dragged up ramps to their relative position is ridiculous! If one uses a calculator we can see that that method would be way too slow. 2.5 million blocks put in place over a twenty year period would be 4 to 8 mins per block depending on how many hours per day the workers worked. We probably could not do it at that speed these days. Also, consider the kings chamber and the passages that had to be incorporated, not to mention the limestone cladding that was done after the stones were laid.
These professors continue to avoid the impossibility of their theories!

richag77 - I tend to have the same disbelief as you do about the logistics of how the Egyptian people built the pyramids. I'm not one to introduce the idea of aliens, but in this case, I do often wonder if there is an explanation there. After all, I just don't believe we're alone and that earth is the only planet with some form of life on it. The immensity and scale of the pyramid building seems humanly impossible, thus the alien theory. Although there are other immense and complex structures built throughout history that seem to defy what is believable and yet they exist due to human planning and building. How do you believe the pyramids were built?
