[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen the Giza pyramids. The surfaces are very rough, at right angles, being made of stacked man-size cubes of limestone. This staggered surface was originally covered by a thin white polished casing of limestone, smoothly slanted at an angle along the surface. These were largely removed later for use in other construction in Cairo. (If you look carefully at photos of the current pyramids you can see where this finishing limestone remains at the top.)

My point is that these covered gaps would have made an excellent grain elevator. Grain put in the top, flowing down through the seams, to be drawn from the bottom.[/quote]

Who on earth would make a grain elevator that is not hollow???[/quote]

The Lord works in mysterious ways.  But seriously, the banks of Nile are extremely fertile due to frequent flooding.  Why in the world would the Pharoahs devote the slave manpower and resources to build massive stone structures simply to hold very small amounts of grain?  Nonsensical and ridiculous.  [/quote]
