Some of the blocks are so close together you can't slide a razor blade between them. You need lasers to be able to cut a rock that precisely.
Ugh. See, this is what astonishes me. It's amazing how some people "know" things like this, when, in fact, they really know about the closeness of the pyramid stones or rock-cutting is ... well, nothing. It blows my mind how someone can just
make up facts that they would like to be true.
For those of us who get our facts from reality, rather than our imaginations, you can read about just how well-fitting the stones of Khufu's pyramid are
at Nova here:
The core was made with a substantial slop factor, as my friend who is a mechanic likes to say about certain automobiles. That is, they didn't join the stones very accurately. You have great spaces between the stones. And you can actually see where the men were up there and they didn't, you know, they may have like four or five, even six inches between two stones. And so they'd jam down pebbles and cobbles and some broken stones, and slop big quantities of gypsum mortar in there. I noticed that in the interstices between the stones and in this mortar was embedded organic material, like charcoal, probably from the fire that they used to heat the gypsum in order to make the mortar. You have to heat raw gypsum in order to dehydrate it, and then you rehydrate it in order to make the mortar, like with modern cement
This is by Mark Lehner, an archaeologist at the University of Chicago and Harvard -- he's well known for groundbreaking work he did on the construction of Khufu's pyramid, discovering some of the dwellings for the construction crews. (see
http://harvardmagazine.com/2003/07/who-built-the-pyramids.html ) He goes on to note that:
...it involved us climbing all over the Old Kingdom pyramids, including the ones at Giza, taking as much in the way of organic samples as we could. We weren't damaging the pyramids, because these are tiny little flecks and it's a very strange experience to be crawling over a monument as big as Khufu's, looking for a bit of charcoal that might be as big as the fingernail on your small finger. We noted, not only the samples of charcoal, sometimes there was reed. Now and then in some of the pyramids we found little bits of wood. But we saw in many places, even on the giant pyramids of Giza, the first pyramid and the second pyramid and the third one, fragments of tools, bits of pottery that are clearly characteristic of the Old Kingdom.

So you see the pyramids are very human monuments. And the evidence of the people who built them, their material culture is embedded right into the very fabric of the pyramids. And I think I could take just about any interested person and show them this kind of material embedded in the pyramids as well as tool marks in the stones and say, hey, folks, these weren't lasers. These were chisels and hammers and you know, people who were really out there.
In fact, the whole piece is a great read for everyone in this thread. There's also an interview with the Egyptian director of the Giza site at
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pyramid/explore/howold.html . They ask both about this wacky alien/New Age stuff, and get detailed answers. Read it!
But of course, those so-called "archaeologists" from "Harvard" and "archeological directors" of the Giza site, what do they know? Anyways, they're probably all just part of the CONSPIRACY! You see, the GOVERNMNET and the U.N. just don't want YOU to KNOW about the actual EVIDNECE of Atlantis and its EXTRATORRESTIAL contacts! :D

Really, people... these are pyramids. They're
piles of rock. You take big blocks of stone and pile them on top of one another. This is about as simple as construction gets. A 3-year old understands the basic principles involved.
I know some people
really want to see evidence of E.T. or New-Agey mushroom-eating Mayan-Atlantean hippie super-civilizations or whatever. But please, people, try and
use some of those remaining brain cells before regurgitating every "theory" you like; these don't even pass the laugh test.
