#1 Wasn't anybody aware that Gambian President Yahya Jammeh figured all this out in his free time while he was coming up with a cure for AIDS? He proved it by building a full-scale model in his courtyard all by himself one evening.

#2 I would be more impressed if they used Real-Time 3D for a mock-up of the fifty-foot Michael Jackson robot.

#3 Hardly new. Been doing it since 1999 on the computer based game Pharaoh. Building ramps, moving stone, making pyramids the old fashion way. The guy is a day late and a dinar short.

#4 What a moron. It took him 8 years to figure out that they used ramps.

I do have a small beef with the spiral ramp theory. It would seem that straight ramps would be much easier and fit the shape of the pyramid Bette, but then again, I haven't wayrd 8 years of my life on this.

Not to mention the problems with maintaining a steady pull while going around 90-degree turns.
