It's the big pyramid in the middle. Just go to the left of the pyramid, then follow the jackals.

Hello:

The unions built the pyramids... What I want to know is, do the ones in Egypt have more slots?

I thought it was spelled with a "u".

I didnt say my info came from him (if that is what you think I meant). I just meant, he is the foremost Egyptologist, so guess he has some ideas.

The looting was well documented in our Toronto Star the other day; in particular a 4000 year old wooden chariot was broken into bits by the looters. I dont think that will likely be repaired anytime soon.

I meant the looters and robbers at the Cairo Museum during the recent uprising there.

What are you talking about ? The same thing ?

No,
I was twisting things around and being obnoxious and unreasonable.

I go with my strong points when involved in a discussion.:cool:

So, your strong points are stretching acceptability and being quite unfair in a discussion. I can't go with that.

Thanks for answering my question though, although quite oblique.

And I used to think you were just another quiet fellow sitting on the bench feeding the pigeons.

They had the wheel, Stringer. They fought with chariots and horses remember. In this case the wheel would not have helped. Not enough strength. They used tree trunks to roll the blocks along the ground; a conveyer idea. Roll one several feet then move the tree trunks to the front, and then continue, etc. Animal fat for greasing was used as well.

Just prior to the Hittite battle they began using chariots. Some of the pyramids were built long before. In my opinion... :)

Prior to the pyramids, the burial was by mastabas, a sort of lower form of a brick coffin in the desert; primitive but a start.

Okay, battle of the hittites was around l300 BCE but I don't see what your point is really, so yes they did have the wheel even before that.
