Note: Egyptians are not black.

What race were the acient Egyptians?

Egyptians, Tunise, Algerians are not blacks but arabs. That they in African continent does not change their identity no more can Jamaican, or peoolefrom Bahamas claim to be Americans by default.
Black race does not understand the dynsmics of life and human development. We are not likely to emerge a leading civilization till thy kingdom come.

This guy and his bragging rights! grin

Anyways... Just a few questions.
Bring 'em on.

1. Does the earth being an Oblated Spheroid allow for an 'annulus-wall'?
the earth is an oblate spheroid around the X - Y axis. at the equator, it is a perfect circle around the Z axis. So, yes, it damn well allows for an Annulus Wall.

2. If we're to go by ur calculations, where do we start building the walls from? Equator or Poles...
It actually doesn't matter. If you study topology, you'll find that an oval(vertical cross section of an oblate spheroid) and a circle(horizontal cross section of an oblate spheroid) are topologically equivalent. hence, they approximate to the same value, for similar radii. but in order to simulate my calculations properly, it will go around the equator.

3. On the case of calculating with volume, the claim is that' the-number-of-stones-in-the-pyramid'
No, the claim is that "there is enough stone" there is no mention of "number of stones" read it again.
and we all know, the volume does not reflect the number of stones, seeing that some parts of the pyramid are blank... More like an hollow of some sort. How do u wish to resolve that...
the pyramid is not hollow. not even remotely. sure, it contains some holes, and passages. but those are insignificant, compared to the larger mass.

that being said, I allowed for it. assuming the pyramid was a full solid, I expected the stone to distribute into an annulus wall that was TALLER than 2ft. removing the hollow parts, and the parts where no stone can be found, the wall's height reduces to ALMOST 2ft, which confirms the claim. and that's with 10 centimeters width. even if the pyramid was half hollow, just reduce the width of your wall to 5 centimeters, and it will still surround the earth AND have a height of 2ft+

Er... These are the questions I can think of. But seriously I admire ur zeal!
Zeal indeed. I believe I have answered all your questions and put your doubts to rest. you can always ask more. I am here to reply. grin grin

Could be possible depending on the thickness of the wall.
Would need to know the quantity of stones involved in this architectural marvel, we already know the circumference of the earth.

Of course not.

The issue is that of Volume. Not that of material.
Good one bro. Even if it means slicing the blocks. Mathematically the volume is what matters.

ancient egyptians weren't black, as in west africa black. they were lighter than say nubians, and even they barely make the cut as black. egyptians weren't exactly white either

the method I used was to approximate the pyramid as a perfect square-based pyramid.

then I looked up its dimensions on google. the length of each each side of the square base is 230 meters long, and it was about 147 meters tall. it's a bit shorter now, about nine meters shorter, due to erosion. but i figured the lost stone from the top is still on the actual pyramid and can be added to the calculation. hence, volume of the Great pyramid

V = 1/3 (230)2 x 147

= 2.59 x 106

Because these things were not built by one 500years old man and his 3 sons but by hundreds of thousands of people up to millions still taking a duration of years and they still have their ruins scattered up to this day.

Stop equating irrational beliefs with history.

The Bible never said that the ark was built only by four people, you probably saw that in a cartoon or some website. Noah had over 100years to build the ark. It was made of wood, the major source of energy for a long time.

LOL, na wa o.

I did the math myself.




The volume of a pyramid is given by a third of it's containing cuboid. enter the dimensions of the Great pyramid, you find the volume of the pyramid to be approximately equal to 2.56 x 106m3

Of course, the Pyramid isn't a full Solid. So, the result we must get with a mathematical modelling of a full Solid pyramid must allow us to calculate the fence' length to be greater than 2feet.


The wall around the earth is an annulus. the formula for Calculating the Area of a 2 dimensional Annulus is pi x (2dr + d2). Calculating where d is the height of the wall, and r is the radius of the earth.

the formula for calculating the volume of a ring(3D Annulus) is the above multiplied by the width of the ring, here, the width of the wall.

using the Volume of stone from the pyramid, we arrange for the Annulus to be above 2ft if we use that volume to build it. hence,

2.56 x 106 = pi x w(2 x 6.371 x 106d + d2)

in the equation, d and w are unknowns. put replace d with 2ft(0.6meters) and solve for w, and you will find that the width of the wall is approximately 10centimeters.

The claim says almost 2ft. this is accounted for with the fact that the pyramid in fact, has passages and hollow spaces which will decrease the volume a bit and place it just under 2ft.

Great Pyramids of Giza In Egypt

The Pyramids were built at the pinnacle of the flourishing period of the great ancient egyptian civilizations, up to 130 them still stands till this day though there is still chance that very many more still lurk buried deep in the desertic lands of the nile.

The pyramids held the record for the tallest man made structures in the world for more than 4,000 years after there were built and up to this day remains one of the few outstanding work of ancient architecture and engineering mastery standing nearly intact.

The Pyramids were developed from small temples dedicated to dead pharaohs which slowly evolved in height to be closer to Ra [Sun God] and developed to what we have today.

The pyramids of Giza attributed to an ancient egyptian architect Imhotep built 2584 and 2561 BCE for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu.

Though massive slave labour was certainly, how they managed to pull of such engineering feat with remarkable geometrical mastery still is awe striking to us.


[P.s: Several other civilizations also built pyramids even the small Igbo pyramids at Nsudde.]

Hanging Towers of Babylon

You have probably heard about King Nebuchadnezzar - viewed as one of the most powerful King to have ruled in ancient kingdoms.

This is not about his military or masculine power this is about Love, the beast in love.

Nebuchadnezzar married the young beautiful Amtis from the kingdom of Media a very tropical land with beautiful green veiled moutains, trees, green grasses, flowers.

The new queen became very home sick and missed the usual green beauty of her hometown in contrast to the harsh sun baked sandy lands of Babylonia.

King Nebuchadnezzar decided to bring media to her - he had a tower built almost 75feet tall, filled with flowers, trees, grasses to give the queen a little slice of home.

Such edifice certainly is a masterpiece that shows architectural wizardry of the Babylonians..

the irrigation system of such work in ancient times is still a thing of wonder..
