p.s. Houdini exposed all the frauds he visited.
Likewise, for decades the monks levitating have been exposed as frauds.

"If you are asking, “is that real levitation,” I rather think not.

About 100,000 people have learned and practice the levitation technique found in teh Yoga Sutras via the TM organization. Some have been doing the practice many hours a day for over 40 years and yet no-one in that 40 years has ever been seen to float. For example, the 60-year-old at 0:55 in this video learned the practice back in 1978 and has probably been doing the levitation technique (not just meditation in general) 2–3 hours a day, every day for 40 years. That’s abou 28,000 hours of practice but as you can see, still no float

…"

"Now it used to be the case that there was a million dollar reward for anyone who was willing to perform levitation in a lab. The purpose of this reward was that scientists could then rule out the common methods of doing the hoax.

One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge - Wikipedia

To the best of my knowledge no one ever took up the challenge. Certainly no one passed.

Given that each and every recorded instance of the levitating monk trick has been a clear hoax. I think it’s safe to say that they’re all hoaxes.

And if you know how this trick is done for real, there are some very nice gentlemen in white coats who would like to talk to you.

Edit: Found a better picture explaining how this trick is done."

Well we've certainly gone off topic.

Some sort of sonic levitation is as good an explanation as any. Because as far as I know, all theories on how they were built contain plot holes of one type or another. Sonic levitation would be a matter of science, not magic. It's already perfectly clear that levitation can be achieved though magnetism.

I like the idea @Lost4words offered that the pyramids were built before the time of the Egyptians. If they were a pre-flood construction, they were built by people with 900 year lifespans, and who knows what sort of knowledge and technology they were in possession of.

I know, I think it's rather an amazing construction if they did build the pyramids although jesus did say the end days would be like in the days of Noah. I don't think we are quite there yet.

Men built the pyramids. Tens of thousands of slaves.

Walt Disney has often portrayed 'levitation' in fantasies and fairy tales.

Nothing to build on though.
I think you should have looked it up before dismissing it.

"Sonic levitation, also known as acoustic levitation, is a technique that uses sound waves to suspend objects in mid-air. It works by creating a standing wave with areas of high and low pressure, called nodes and antinodes, respectively.

When the pressure at the nodes is strong enough, it can counteract gravity and make objects float."

Impossible.
Why is it Impossible?

The Pyramid Builders Moved Construction Materials by Water

So who built the Pyramids ?

The Great Pyramid of Giza (otherwise known as the
“Pyramid of Khufu,” or simply the “Great Pyramid”)
was most likely built by [Job] after the great flood.

Thanks Semper, great read, Job may have built the Pyramids as the book of Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible as it states in your linked article.

Great read - Thanks :thumbsup:

I wonder on what basis you can say that The Great Pyramid of Giza was most likely built by Job? I notice that your link leads to an article by Herbert W. Armstrong who is considered to be a false teacher by many.

And a better teacher than most, by many. He was/is/ more Bible Correct than the churches, especially rome.

Deception is rampant worldwide, in the churches and out of them.
Warfare is in almost all the countries.
Sin is many many many times greater than just a few years ago. Perversion in higher religion and politics included.
People are going hither and thither shopping, marrying and giving in marriage (or corruption),
as written.
So what remains to be "there" as written?
I don't think we are quite there yet.

He was even denounced as a false teacher by his own followers eventually.

He may well have spoken against Rome, but he also had some very strange teachings, including the Bible being a “coded” book, “not intended to be understood until our day in this latter half of the twentieth century.” How that fits with the New Testament letters being written to 1st century churches like the churches at Ephesus and Rome, and 1st century Christians like Timothy, I don't know.

Well I read many articles with an open mind without any preconceived ideas.
I checked many references listed in this article and found none miss leading.
After everything I have ever read on this subject, Job is the best fit I believe.

The link I posted has to do with biblical records and archaeology/science .
Psalm 102:14 (KJV) For thy servants take pleasure
in her stones, And Favour the dust thereof.

I love reading [anything I can] that deals with biblical archaeology.
Many new discoveries in the science of archaeology have been proving
the stories about Isreal and the nations coming in contact with true.
I notice that your link leads to an article by Herbert W. Armstrong who is considered to be a false teacher by many.
Sorry I did not know [who built the Pyramids] was a theology issue.
Many people will attack people without even reading/looking at the material
presented. Also theology issues should be debated in the proper forum.

On the subject who built the Great Pyramid of Giza, feel free to point out
what you think is [false] in the archaeology institutes link I posted if you like.

Who do [you] think built the Great Pyramid of Giza and why?
Some say aliens did.

Before you dismiss levitation take a look at this,
I used to deliver refrigerators by myself. If you balance them they weigh nothing. I have a friend that works with very big and very heavy stones all by himself. But I never asked him how he does it.

The man you're referring to is Edward Leedskalnin. He was a Latvian immigrant who single-handedly built the Coral Castle in Florida. Between 1923 and 1951, Leedskalnin moved and carved over 1,000 tons of limestone to create this impressive structure, all without the use of modern machinery.

Leedskalnin was a small man, about 100 pounds and 5 feet tall, yet he managed to manipulate these massive stones with precision. He claimed to have discovered the secrets of the ancient pyramid builders, which he used to construct the castle3. The exact methods he used remain a mystery, as he worked mostly in secrecy and never revealed his techniques.

Coral Castle is a testament to his incredible dedication and ingenuity. Of course the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico took a lot more than one person to build. While the pyramid builders were not wealthy, they were respected for their contributions and received compensation for their work. The living conditions and provisions indicate that they were relatively well cared for compared to slaves.

We begin children in Sunday School as soon as they can walk. Because we have them march around in a circle and sing the song about the stone walls of Jericho. If you go to Jericho today those stone walls are still there.
for me, this is a miracle because I would think over the years people would use those stones to build themselves a house. But God has preserved them there to this day.

We also read about the stone foundation that Solomon used for the temple. The temple mount is still there today. The temple itself was built with cedar from Lebanon which we are told is more beautiful than any tree in Eden. The cedars are still there in the area where they have the sky resorts. Only a few remain, the forests are gone. Ezekiel 31 "No tree in the garden of God could compare with its beauty. 9I made it beautiful with its many branches, the envy of all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God."

He most likely knew the technique of sound.
