Wow! Just came across this thread. Actually, I can't think of any other shape. Given ancient tools to construct, is there any other shape that could have been built to reach those heights as easily or more logically? Each layer serving as the the working surface for the next, slightly narrower layer. A basic square base also being the easiest to work with? Also, in an earlier post, missing placement of the pyramid by 2 miles can easily be due to variances in significant digits by the architect, but how can an alien race (capable of space travel) or a divine being (capable of perfection) allow that to happen? I'm not Egyptian, but to assert that in over a thousand years time, there was not enough cumulative intelligence in Egypt to problem solve how to build a pyramid is frankly insulting.Regards,Danny
