Document Summary

Suggested that platforms on different levels of the structure were covered in shrubs and plants that grew to become the hanging gardens. A four-sided column (often square) with a mini pyramid shape on top. Often set up as monuments or markers. Tomb painting of an obelisk being carried by boat. By man power: pulling the statue on a sled into position. Someone pouring water in front of sled to firm up sand. Using rollers to move stones and statues. Composite tools like hammers and chisels made from bronze, copper, or stones used to make square pyramid stones. Herodotus talks about the canal and there is archaeological evidence. Canal dug from the nile to surround the cheops pyramid. Ship stones up the nile, transfer them to smaller boats, ship them straight to pyramid. If water is level, the site is level. Traditional pyramids made of polished stone with blocks 30+ feet long.
