This argument, from William R. Fix's book _Pyramid Idiocy_, sorry,
_Odyssey_, assumes that the stones were placed serially, one at a
time, not several at once, which seems to me a particularly dumb
assumption, i.e. we have to assume that the Egyptians were as witless
as William R. Fix . . . I doubt it, myself.
