Dear, my little irritating, biting insect!
During any period of great empires, even during the Middle Ages,we are told that certain personages had access to a whole limitless source of labor, due to the system(s) that reportedly existed during those times!
Compare it to anything you feel belongs entirely to Egypt, and you always come up with serfs/ surfs and serf-dom!
Did Egypt actually become the ultimate burial place for kings, and queens of the world?
I would still ask some of our real scientists out there to make your own experiment! Just began making a pile(s) of salt, but there is more than one kind of salt, such as Kosher, Sea, Natron , etc., and pile it up to a height of one, two, three, or even five? feet, upon dry land!
Let it (all of the alternatives) stand for a while, and then measure the angles?
If there are any real scientists out there, then please present us the results of this experiment?
I feel you mmight well come up with angles that closely resemble the angles found in pyramids?
But, of course, I could well be wrong?
Even though I believe that Salt and its relatives, were of the utmost importance for a thousand years or so!
I therefore, propose, that these great edifices, were built to show the everlasting qualities of salt to preserve the Kings and Queens of the past!
Even Kings and Queens, much closer to today than is to be considered!
