Kid's Great Pyramid BS. Push it up the Incline Plane!

I turned on the tv this morning and this is what was on. (For some odd reason my tv was on NPT). I feel like I have to share. This is the perfect way to dumb down children. This video shows and tells children that groups of 3 Egyptians pushed up each block of the great pyramid on an inclined plane. Now, each block weighed about 6000 pounds and there are over 2.3 million blocks used. Give me a break.


My favorite quote:
"They built a smooth surface, yeah that does the trick. That's how they built the pyramid pretty darn quick!"

From other sources, people say the pyramid was completed in 20 years. So let's see... 2,300,000 blocks that each weigh about 6000 pounds, all pushed up inclined planes in order to build the pristine and exact dimensions of the pyramid in 20 years. That adds up to about 13 of these 6000 pound blocks being moved every hour for 24 hours for 20 years. Gotta love NPT.
