Were the pyramids built under water?

A couple of weeks ago I had a dream. In my dream I came to the realization that the pyramids must have been built under water to lessen the load of the heavy blocks. Now, I don't know much about this subject. I've heard that the blocks weigh so much that they couldn't have possibly been lifted in anyway to accomplish the tremendous task. Other sources say that it was completely possible. I've also heard that the blocks were created from base materials similar to how mortar or concrete are made. I don't know what to believe.

I'm not sure if archaeology, geology, anthropology, or any other -ologies have disproved this yet. Say for instance if they can tell if the blocks were ever submerged or if history doesn't include a great deal of water like that being there. There was that great flood that supposedly happened way back when. Whether this theory is already proven wrong is beyond me. I can't find anything on the net. It makes sense to me. I had never made that rationalization before, only in my dream. If the blocks were in fact too heavy to arrange into pyramids by traditional means, and it really is a mystery, then I believe the pyramids were built under water. Either that or aliens.
 
Although I don't really think the pyramids were built under water, I still think it's a very ingenious idea. It's more likely than aliens having built them, it's way more original and way more likely. I like the idea!
 
Well this is an interesting theory but I do not think that this is how they were built. As for the aliens idea, if you look at the pantheon of gods worshiped by the Egyptians, you see many large strange looking beings, some of them holding long staffs for which no modern (western) Egyptologists have an answer for. Horus, the Hawk headed god of the rising morning sun, holds a long staff with rings around the top. Ptah also held a similar staff and in some Hieroglyphs 4-6 workers are shown carrying large blocks above their heads with one worker on each end holding a staff such as these. This could possibly be a high technology which creates a field of lesser gravity between the two poles thus making it easy to transport the blocks. I am also interested in the conrete-mortar scenario as it does seem to hold some possibility. Graham Hancock climbed the Great Pyramid on the Giza plateau and reported that he witnessed fossils in cracked blocks at the apex of the pyramid, this could lend evidence to either the molded-poured blocks, or the underwater construction theory. I do believe that the huge army of slaves idea can be ruled out as it has been tested that the generally accepted idea of building massive long ramps up the site of construction would have to miles long to accommodate the fact that people could not pull these massive blocks up a steep ramp. And the ramps themselves would require more building materials than the pyramids themselves. Not to say that the pyramids were not built by slaves but rather that they had technologies which we do not know about now. Check out the Bird of Saqqara for an example of Egyptian flying mechanisms. What knid of bird has vertical tail feathers??
 
The stones would still be heavy as shit even underwater. Also there would be evidence if they were under water at some point. We are easily able to determine the location of past seas. Parts of the east coast of america was under sea at one point. There is interesting fossil evidence for all of this. Never the less it is an interesting thought, better than the alien theory in my opinion. There are ways that made the load easier for the makers of the pyramids. The pyramids were definitely made by humans on land.
 
I think too much emphasis is put into the 'miracle' of the pyramids. They had thousands of slaves over decades building it and the didnt have playstation and television to distract them. There work was their lives that's essentially all they had. you put your mind to it enough people can do just about anything.
 
I saw a documentary which reported they found evidence that it wasnt slaves, but hired employees how where working at the pyramids.. they examined freshly discovered houses and such things..
 
I read an article somewhere where a group of people had tried to build a much smaller version of a pyrmid, and couldnt' do it to the exacting specifications of the real ones. If we can't do it today, no way the Egyptians did it with slaves.
 
If they're build under water, maybe the russians did it. they got all these nuclear sub's. Maybe some of them thought of doing something usefull with those exploding underwater coffins for once. There where ampty bottles found there, right?

Couldn't these staffs just be as scepters are to kings and queens?

I think that the staff is just a symbol of power and it's that power which commands the workers to do the job.

I don't find the concept of logs + pulleys + slaves + time = pyramids, hard to believe at all.

But then I am not educated in the ways of construction.

The ancient civilizations had a ton of old world tech we cant reproduce properly nowadays though. They had thousands of years to develop methods of construction etc, so when people like the mythbusters try to build this stuff in a modern workshop they usually fail. I mean, cmon, the guys who tried that mini-pyramid probly worked on it for what, a couple of months? Maybe a year or two? The Egytians had unlimited recources and generations of skilled tradespersons to work on it. Skills that werent ever written down, but passed from father to son and so on.

higher frquencies is i beleave what it's all about just not how your thinking about it.

useing long forgoten sound tecknoligys the huge blocks were lightend with sound waves then eazaly moved into place.
as for where they got the tecknoligy your gess is as good as mine

also there are obolisks that to this day still "hum"/vibrate and remember there mad of stone!

as for how i know well i was there..........................................................not! got this shit by watching every program on the subject since i was 5 years old
