Obviously the illuminati can't have the slave class discovering their interdimensional portals. Duh.
Why do we still not know what's inside the pyramids?

#62Why do we still think that they were built with chisel and hammer when we know is impossible with these tools to cut the stones from king chamber to laser precision or cut stones to make a perfectly symmetric pharaoh statue?

There are two things to keep in mind. Rafaello and Michelangelo worked with stone that wasn't nearly as hard as granite (granite being one of the hardest stones). Secondly, we don't believe metals were nearly as developed during the period of dynastic Egypt and some Egyptologists theorise (but I think this is crazy) that stone tools were used to carve the blocks.
Granite? Who crazy would come up with the idea to build pyramids with something as heavy and hard as granite. They were not even carved out of limestone blocks, they were casted by an early form of concrete created using a mixture of limestone, clay, lime, and water. Similar to how they would have been built nowadays. http://www.livescience.com/1554-surprising-truth-great-pyram...
The walls of the king's chamber are pink granite. They also happen to be some of the more precise work in the pyramids.

#66It could be a coincidence, but I wonder if this piece (published 3 days ago) was inpsired by this 6-day old Reddit thread: "ELI5: Why don't we already know everything that's inside the pyramids?" https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/3s7ljo/e...
I suspect both were inspired by US Presidential candidate Ben Carson's recent claims that (he believes) they were built by Joseph to store grain (as per the Book of Genesis).

@nightspirit Ben Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist and he does believe that the Pyramids of Giza were built by the Biblical Joseph to store grain. I'm sure he's also interested in gaining the support of Christian and Jewish voters but this is ultimately an example of one of his personal beliefs.
> Seventh-day Adventist and he does believe that the Pyramids of Giza were built by the Biblical Joseph to store grain. This is not a belief of the church. We have enough FUD spread about various religions.
Actually we don't have nearly enough uncertainty and doubt.

Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist, and hence a young-earth creationist. (Yes, I know. It's mind-boggling, isn't it?) And he's stood by the remark. So almost certainly he was being (and continues to be) serious.
All Seventh-day Adventist are NOT young-earth creationists.
That may be, but it is official church doctrine:

#69Why are people using infrared to look for new chambers and passages? Muon detectors, using cosmic rays for the source, were used in the 1960s to conclude: > We can say with confidence that no chambers with volumes similar to the four known chambers in Cheops's and Sneferu's pyramids exist in the mass of limestone investigated by cosmic-ray absorption. The volume of the pyramid probed in this manner is defined by a ve…
I'm guessing a big part of it is "The explored volume is 19 percent of the pyramid's volume." Eliminating the possibility of huge chambers is cool, but it would also be cool to find out if there's anything in the other 80%. Do you know if they ever succeeded in searching the whole pyramid?
LOL! It's going on right now! As part of this exact research project!
The BBC article only mentioned infrared, but http://www.popsci.com/archaeologists-will-scan-egypts-pyrami... says the researchers are "[a]rmed with thermal imaging, muon detectors, and drone-mounted laser scanners."

Yes, now get into a debate about the time it took those seven days. My original statement stands, and I expect just as much FUD this time as we had in the 60's.
