THE ACHIEVMENTS OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN BUILDERS ARE REMARKABLE (TO SAY THE LEAST). FOR INSTANCE THE ROOF OF THE KING'S CHAMBER IN THE GREAT PYRAMID, 200 FEET UP CONSISTS OF HUGE GRANITE BEAMS WEIGHING UP TO 70 TONS. THERE ARE ALSO MAJOR TEMPLES ON THE GIZEA PLATEAU THAT CONTAIN COLOSSAL LIMESTONE BLOCKS WEIGHING BETWEEN 50 TO 220 TONS, LIFTED TO HEIGHTS OVER 40 FEET. IT'S INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE CRANES IN THE WORLD TODAY CAPABLE OF LIFTING OBJECTS WEIGHING 200 TONS OR MORE WHICH REQUIRE ON-BOARD COUNTER WEIGHTS OF 160 TONS TO PREVENT THEM FROM TIPPING OVER. THE PREPERATION TIME FOR A SINGLE LIFT IS AROUND 6 WEEKS AND CALLS FOR THE SKILLS OF SPECIALIZED TEAMS OF UP TO 20 MEN. KEEP IN MIND THESE MONUMENTS WERE BUILT MORE THAN 5,000 YEARS AGO.THE MAYA CALENDAR DATES FROM ABOUT THE 1st CENTURY B.C. IT IS EXTREMELY ACCURATE, AND THE CALCULATIONS OF MAYA PRIESTS WERE SO PRECISE THAT THEIR CALENDAR CORRECTION IS 10,000th OF A DAY MORE EXACT THAN THE STANDARD CALENDAR THE WORLD USES TODAY.
