Before I forget...

After all of us seeing some of the effects of Katrina, I believe that all the ancient Indian mounds found along the gulf states are not temple ruins but rather man made mounds to establish high ground safety during storm surges.

I believe that the mother of invention is necessity. As a result I veiw most of the tomb and temple explanations for the Great Pyramid as pure bunk. The Great Pyramid has every single feature of an enormous water pump that worked well for desert irrigation. Unlike the Roman awuaducts it was fed by the underground canals which are still there today. For those who are curious, a very average man named Kunkle saw these features 80 years ago.

Once again it was a practical need and not just the idolization of the Gods that built many great structures. In a sense the political need to keep power in the family gave rise to the building of great tombs and not religion in and of itself.

In my opinion there has been a sort of "religious intelligent design" explanation for far too many archeological questions.
