Also I have visited the Peruvian (Machu Picchu, Puma Punku) sites too.You can see quite clearly the stone cutting methods used in Egypt and Peru are quite similar. A visit to their stone quarries where you can still find unfinished slabs & cracked obelisks shows this.You cannot compare the Egyptian pyramids or the tombs in the Valley of the Kings to anything in SriLanka. It is simply AWESOME. You got to see it to realise that. Not from a photograph. Even the hieroglyphs inscribed in stone, these are staggeringly neatly done. The craftsmanship is beyond belief.There's stonecraft in Greece too. They also used large Granite around 160 tons per block. But these were built more than a 1000 years later than Egypt and the Egyptian work is far superior.Drawings in the Egyptian temples show how blocks being pulled and also transported using boats and slaves in chains tied from necks & feet. You can easily see the features of the slaves (the hair & faces) to be African. Apparently all labour, whether slave or hired has been paid by the kings.Also in the stone quarries you still can find the creatures like the Emus, Impalas drawn on rock. These African animals never were in Egypt. The slaves etched them in their leisure time, their memories of Africa.I will upload some photos later. Now back to work. Visit Egypt if you can. It's truly worthwhile.</blockquote>
