Hm, not sure. When I posted, I think I may have had you and bloomshed mixed up. He was expressing some skepticism about a ramp being used to build pyramids. Sorry about that!
I didn't mean to sound like I was being skeptical about ramps. Ramps make the most sense, especially the enormous three mile ones that lead right to the top level of the pyramid being built. I love big ramps made of dirt!
Egyptians also used the "build an earthen ramp to get the heavy stuff up, then clear the dirt away after you're done" strategy to build their ridiculously awesome temples. Any History Channel fan knows that.
