It is a fact, you cannot build a structure like “The Great Pyramid at Giza” using the technology available to the people of Ancient Kemet or the technology available to us today. There has to be some other way “The Great Pyramid at Giza” was built. Having power over nature or the ability to control nature is one theory about how “The Great Pyramid at Giza” could have been built.
The late Ivan Van Sertima and other historical scholars pointed out that sudents in ancient Kemet went to school (the Kemetic Mystery System) from 4 to 44, because at 18 or even 28 or 32 we are still learning much from life and reach our intellectual peak in our 40’s. On graduation they had acquired the ability to predict the future, control the minds of others (hypnosis) and acquired the power over nature.
C. The education of the Egyptian Priests consisted also in the specialization in magic.
According to Herodotus, the Egyptian Priests possessed super-natural powers, for they had been trained in the esoteric philosophy of the Greater Mysteries, and were experts in Magic. They had the power of controlling the minds of men (hypnosis), the power of predicting the future (prophecy) and the power over nature, (i.e., the power of Gods) by giving commands in the name of the Divinity and accomplishing great deeds. Herodotus also tells us that the most celebrated Oracles of the ancient world were located in Egypt: Hercules at Canopis; Apollo at Apollinopolis Magna; Minerva at Sais; Diana at Bubastis; Mars at Papremis; and Jupiter at Thebes and Ammonium; and that the Greek Oracles were Egyptian imitations.
Whether Moses was a real character is debatable, but the Bible does say he was educated for 40 years in Africa-Kemet (Egypt). Moses in the Bible could also perform super natural
feats. Some people who believe in the Bible and study African-Kemetic religion and culture cite Moses as an example of the influence of Africa-Kemet in the Bible.
Acts 7:22
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
Exodus 7:19-22
19 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
Two other facts not included in the videos I cited previously are: "The Great Pyramid at Giza has 3.14 (Pi) computed into it–as well as the shape and size of the earth including the flattening of the north and south poles, and equatorial bulge.
Could using sound, vibrations and levitation explain how 60 ton blocks of stone could be moved into place, not to mention the other amazing mathematical, astronomical, geographical and masonry facts that are built into the construction of “The Great Pyramid at Giza”.
Article on: Levitation, Sound, Vibrations and "The Great Pyramid at Giza
http://www.gizapyramid.com/articles/levitation.htm
Did the Ancient Egyptians have advanced scientific knowledge unknown to us? Is this how the Great Pyramid was built and how other objects they produced that defy explanation in the conventional sense were made? Levitation has for many years been suggested as a way that would raise the heavy limestone and granite blocks used to build the pyramid. Is there any evidence that this was used either from historical records or recent scientific experiments?..
…Does this mean that the Ancient Egyptians knew how to do sonic levitation? At this time, all we can say is that from basic principles of sonic levitation, the structural design of the pyramid (especially the King’s Chamber), and recent research in levitation - the possibility is there. Much more research needs to be done but this is an area that needs to be pursued.

It doesn’t seem to me that moving sixty ton blocks by hand should require any magic or currently unknown technology. Granted, I’ve never had any formal training in physics at all, and I’ve never moved anything by hand bigger than about a ton and a half without taking it apart first, but I’ve had a smidgen of practical and job experience and leverage just doesn’t seem that hard to work out empirically. Having no shortage of slaves to do your empirical testing of techniques would probably make it much less personally hazardous to figure things out, too.
Wally Wallington moves whole buildings all by himself just by being clever about where he puts his levers. The nutty guy who built Coral Castle moved a 30 ton stone all by himself with hand tools, and he supposedly weighed about 105 pounds. The admirable part is the cleverness - but it’s not magic to most modern people, and requires no unknown techniques. Just good old perseverance and really tremendously smart engineering.

And hey NOVA on PBS had a whole episode showing how easy it would be to do with tools and methods of the time. They even did it on a small scale with team of like 15ish craftsmen and workers to demonstrate the methods.

Who needs levers when you have rope!

If I remember any of those Secrets of Lost Empires shows, whatever it was you were doing, all you needed was an A-frame.

I have a multi-sheave block and tackle that runs 3/4" manila rope in the works and uses a 1" manila dragline. Two friends and I can move many tons with it, but I gotta tell you, managing the rope is trickier than working levers; it likes to twist when the load is relieved, and also, we have to pull a hundred feet of rope to move the working load ten feet.
But I love the walking Moai video, and I’d never seen it before, so many thanks! Excellent!

Seems you are unaware of a few critical facts.
This joke 
of an attempt to build a pyramid was assailed and discredited for the fraud it was by many critics after it was aired. It was revealed they used modern tools and forklifts. If you watch the actual broadcast you can even see them using modern measuring tools. Nova’s “This Old Pyramid”–when allegedly completed was in fact incomplete. It was a small, pathetic and farcical example of a pyramid like “The Great Pyramid at Giza”
At the arrival of the television crew, including myself, the mini-pyramid was practically finished and had two of it sides convered with their casing stones, not dressed. The workers had used trucks, forklifts and steel tools for their work, the material being soft limestone quarried at Tura, on the other side of the Nile. But the use of construction equipment was not shown in the documentary « This Old Pyramid ». The casing stones are absent on the back of the mini-pyramid which was never completed, as shown in the figure above and Figure 3.14 in the pdf file, taken at the end of filming and before the big traditional festival End of construction.
For this mini-pyramid, built with modern construction equipment, only 3-4 stones weighing not more than 500 kgs were manipulated by hand, namely those shown on camera. These 3-4 500kgs blocks handled with difficulty, serve as official reference to Egyptology to support its construction theory by sled, lever, etc… In his lectures, French Egyptologist Jean-Pierre Adam uses it as good-paxis. The American Egyptologist Mark Lehner and his friend the Egyptian Zahi Hawas refer to it in their demonstration and their books. However, it is a deception, a fiasco, a forgery. I saw Mark Lehner try to level the surface of a casing block with a copper chisel (in vain) or with the stone tool shown on the pdf file Figure 3.15 (unsuccessfully). This mini-pyramid was never completed and was made entirely with mechanical devices. But the documentary « This Old Pyramid » makes no mention of the use of these equipments.

Why did they blindfold the poor statue?
(Yeah, I know it’s to anchor the ropes, but doesn’t it look like a blindfold with very long thin braids coming out underneath?)

Modern measuring tools don’t automatically mean they had some sort of sneaky advantage. I just spent a week on an all-wooden boat that was made without any modern measuring tools. Tightest seams I’ve ever seen. Of course the boat builder came from a boat-building family in a boat-building village on a boat-building island. People have mad skills in all sorts of areas. Just because you or I couldn’t do it doesn’t mean it can’t be done, with or without modern help.

In the link I posted above, the beginning of the article shows several pictures of the actual and pathetic example of a pyramid they constructed. It looks this pathetic and they resorted to using modern tools and machinery.
Here is the link again.
