Spirituality, and why I don't understand it...

There are also shafts the lead out and point at a particular star. There is a known reason for this and it has to do with the beliefs of the Egyptians and their dead.

Also... slaves didn't build the Pyramids. The pyramids are thought to have been built by a public labor idea which is foreign to us. There were taxes levied as there are now... To get out of these taxes people could opt out and work on a public project, like the Pyramids. It also was used to build a large canal system in china.

Archaeologists predict that they were like the barrel of a gun, guiding the king's spirit out to whatever celestial body they thought was significant...

Absolutely true, just average citizens were assembled to build the pyramids -- and it's unclear whether force was used, but there is no evidence of it. The Egyptians had slaves, of course, but there is no evidence to suggest that they had any great hand in building the Great Pyramids..

Actually, from what I understand the ley lines are actually real. They are a magnetic grid that goes around the earth I forget the explanation for why this happens, but where they intersect each other there is often a moument of some sort. This is because the field causes a few things in the human brain.

Not so. Ley lines are imaginary intersecting lines drawn to intersect "important" areas. Magnetic field lines do not (can not) intersect (unless we're talking about Earth's mag field interfering with the Moon's or something, but then it would be changing on a minute-to-minute basis).

They were also used in some cases really coolly where massive stones were made to be really easy to move for some reason.

Yeah I think I saw that on the Discovery Channel, right after the show where they almost... almost caught the Loch Ness Monster again.

Every solid granite rock that was carved would've had to be perfectly flat to achieve this accuracy, and they did it only with copper tools?

Absolutely astounding... haven't you ever made anything out of wood or stone? Don't you know any carpenters or masons? Measuring is the most important (and basic) part of construction, and it takes the education of a three-year old to accomplish it. If it's not measured properly, you have to throw it out and do it again.

I read a new study that said that mounds and henges in great britain can be used to accurately triangulate locations to an accuracy of 100 yards, and that there's a posit that the stone agers built them with this intent. Interesting, nonetheless.
