1 part in 8*12*700 = 67200 =~ .000015 is really tough to swallow.

Hi Rick
Sometimes I watch TV and the History Channel .shows alot about
ancient structures/monuments ,and how accurate they are layouted.
They must have known alot about geometry ,and layout. They were
accurate about it to.The pyramids are only off about 1/8in in 700 feet.

A few years ago I saw a show on how they probably moved those stones. Some
scientist found what looked like a toy but was more likely a model of the
tool. Picture a wheel with a square hole for the axle. The wheel came apart
into two. They would strap two of these on one side of a block, roll it
over, strap on the second sides, and then could just roll the block where
they needed it. This approach used far less force than trying to roll it on
logs.
I sure would like to find a reference to the earliest record of making a
straight edge and square. It might predate the Egyptians.

Hi Guys
I kind of figured the Egyptian's might have done it first.
They must have had some way to square the stones they used in construting
stuff they built.
They must have known how to square the stone for the pyramids??
