It took about 10 people, a giant A-frame, super strong Italian wire ropes, a winch, jackhammers, and days to remove just one block. Gravity was our biggest obstacle. It was a whole new process just to load the stones into a truck and transport that to a boat. So even if it were not shaped like a pyramid putting blocks of stone one on top of the other is a scientific mystery.

I’ve been to the Brooklyn museum and enjoyed the Egyptian section of the gallery. One day I too wish to soak in the magnificence of this country — the magnitude no museum can encapsulate. Thanks for your well written, personal article.
