Yep, that takes care of that. Can't be done. Not with our *present*
knowledge, that is. But what if we were possessed of the hidden gnosis
of The Ancients? Could there be *ways* of moving large blocks of stone
that we, in our blinkered ignorance, cannot even *conceive*? And just how
did the Egyptians manage to PRECISELY measure the distance from Cairo
to somewhere else and encode it in the VERY STRUCTURE of the Great
Pyramid in such a way that it can only be revealed by The Clever?
