i think you could hardly call them "seams", its not like it was moulded or stitched together..
then again maybe it was....

but the eight faces is definately in the design and therefore there for a reason

Squeezing big lemons.

Check out this for accuracy in building, the book would have to be a good read. Reckon if the Gypo's could do this **** then the kink in the pyramid posted by the Doctor are there deliberately

these structures were obvously built by a red head with a crap load of tax payers cash!

This pic looks like it has four sides.

Doc I think in your pic the light is playing a major part in how it looks.

I think light has a lot to do with how everything looks.

actually if you look closely at the base it looks straight.

i just google earthed those suckers and there is no trace of 8 sides.

ive been there twice and they looked four sided and made of really big bricks each time :)

to complicate maters further i read the sides are curved and the radius matches the radius of the earth

That makes sense, as I believe they used water trenches instead of spirit levels

Chris Dunn and Stephen Mehler are the guys with the finger on the pulse of whats happening at giza at the moment

I heard that the documentation was done by a mad monk and as a result no one can read it

"Ancient Egyptian mystery solved? Beer as medicine"

Wow, those ancient egyptians certainly were ahead of heir time!!!

Panda they probably could - if they saw it as functional.

it is only us in these modern enlightened times who need to waste money on making monstrosities to prove our cleverness (to whom, I ask?) whilst millions starve and fade away through il health.....

Funny that because this is what Mark_Egypt said 3000 years ago on an Egyption forum (a stone one of course) regarding the government of the day building stupidly large and somewhat useless buildings. Little did he realise that those useless buildings have put more into the Egyptian economy than any other hair brained idea of the day (then & now), thereby providing better services and living standards for the future generations.

Now I wont spell out the correlation of this parable with the Sydney Opera house, but 99% of foreigners when asked what's the first thing that comes to their mind when they think of Australia, that "waste of money" is the answer. Pretty valuable asset in my mind.

PS - I have to disclose that I am at the creative end of the building industry and am somewhat one eyed on the subject
