    Hello:

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

    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.

    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.
