You completely ignored my question about moving the 20,000 ton stone,
Ed. Why is it that when you are presented with evidence supporting
Kent's statement, you ignore the evidence and broaden your attack?
Here's the paragraph again; this time please speak to the issue
described below. How did those dim-witted cave men cut 100-ton
irregular blocks around their entire cicumference to < 1/64-inch
tolerance, and how did they move a 20,000 ton stone?
