Well Jeff didnt like my less than spectacular synopsis of the pyramids (hello! I have a hangover). So a little Redux:
Let me preface with that, NO, I do not believe they were built by aliens. As long as men have been dreamers and builders we have, and will continue, to build beautiful things. The Colessum, The Taj Majal, The Great Wall....
If there was a sound to describe the pyramids it would be a low long slow drum that reverberates and feels as though the sand shakes with it. Ba Boom..... Ba Boom..... Ba Boom..... Part of the greatness of the pyramids is the mystery of them. I like not knowing all the hows and whys and the ins and the outs. They are so massive and masculine and old and wonderous. Looking at a single stone can be impressive but to see so many stacked upon each other is at once overwhelming and awe-striking.
And as I stand there sweating, stinking, dirty, tired, and hungover, I can close my eyes and hear the drums and feel the aura of something so Great.
