You are just making claims without backing them up. I am well aware
of all the apparently feasible approaches to building the Pyramid,
we have seen proposed here. All of these proposals had some flaws.
A good, believable How To Build the GPOG script has yet to be produced.
Ramps, either straight, or winding don't work, each for a different
reason: Straight ramp - too much volume - no material evidence.
Side-ramp - The casing blocks had to be put in place first,
and you cannot affix the side-ramps to the mirror smooth mantle.
Mechanical devices such as cranes and derricks do not come
into consideration either, because steel wasn't available.
These categories cover all proposals of Lo-Tech we have seen.
Issues of Accuracy and Workmanship.
The claims to the Pyramids incredible architectural accuracy are
never disputed. It beats the accuracy standards of the great Medieval
cathedrals.
Mathematics and Units of Measure
The Pyramid just happens to have a unique shape, which makes it
a classic, gives it the patented pyramid-power, and incorporates
both the Pi and Phi constants.
The Pyramid just happens to be so placed and oriented, and contains
such details of construction, that it appears to suit a system
indicating unsurpassed knowledge of geography and astronomy, which
by the way, is being summarily denied by skeptics.

Where is your real (expert) criticism of the real-world mathematics
found on my web-pages? Huh? Your rant doesn't help your cause.
Good of you to mention the Nasca Monkey design - because it is EASY
to prove that this design is engineered with great mathematical
knowledge and stunning accuracy.

You are still full of it. That's what you tell them, not I..
