Did the Egyptian build the Pyramid?

Egyptology did not failed. They did excellently in chronologing Dynastic Egypt just like Dynastic China; what they fail is to admit that there could be a more ancient pre-dynastic Egypt which many other scientific field had reveal.
You can't be serious, do you?
That technology needs lots of slave, to build and to be buried. No way it can be replicated today.
And this pre-Dynastic era was more technologically advanced than the ensuing dynasties?
Looks like I've over-estimated the power of science to explain phenomena like pyramids.

That's one plausible explanation.
It is already known for awhile that the sphinx was built way before the Dynastic Egyptians from its erosion pattern and regarding the Pyramids, there is no way to date it as it's just stones and the Egyptologists rely on historical records written by the phaoraohs themselves to say the pyramids were built by them. Well, the phaoraohs can lie and they most likely did. The pyramids were not for burial, so what were they for, with no inscriptions whatsoever.
Yes indeed. The block were lifted thru an internal spiral ramp.
Thats correct, the great pyramid at Giza was not for burial.
Its a divine monument [ointing to God's salvation grace.
In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof... And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt.� �Isaiah 19:19-20
� Twice the height of the Pyramid, divided into the distance around the base equals the mathematical value termed p (pi) to the nearest 1/10,000. Only recently has man been able to calculate p to this accuracy.
� The Great Pyramid�s unique proportions solve one of man�s most difficult mathematical challenges�the squaring of the circle. When the radius of a circle equals the height of the pyramid, then the circumference of that circle equals the perimeter of the pyramid�s base.
� The orientation of the Great Pyramid is within 3/4 inch of true north. A modern magnetic compass is usually far less accurate.
� The measurement used by the builders, the �pyramid cubit,� when divided into the base length of the Great Pyramid is 365.242 pyramid cubits. This is precisely the number for the days in one year.

don't need to over-analysis. the pyramid was simply a miracle. it's unexplainable and unfathomable..

There is no phenomenon. Only people interpret it to be. It is not a matter of technology but the effort that has to be made. If we are willing to make the effort, use and command the resources we should be able to do it. But I guess we believe it is stupid to spend so much of effort and so many years to build a piece of rock with limited utility. Somewhere along the line, utility became very important.
I beg your pardon. 1/10,000 is not very accurate. It is accurate only to the 4th decimal point and man had that degree of accuracy for some time when we bothered we do the calculation. That is the problem when some information is known to non-scientists or poor scientists who are better at story telling and sensationalisation.
This is what many scientist suspect but not universally proven yet.
Any such "suspicion" without evidence cannot be counted as science. Whether it is a scientist doing it or a layperson, it is of equal value. But if the stories of legendary cities such Atlantis is true, then it is likely that there were pre-historic civilisations as advanced if not more advanced than historically verified civilisations.
