:43:05
But what we don't know is how
:43:07
they did it without wheels or cranes.
:43:23
They simply do not show
pyramid building anywhere
:43:26
and so what we
are left with
:43:29
are surmises or inferences
:43:30
that we make from the stones
the size of the stones.
:43:34
But you know the rules
of physics haven't changed.
:43:36
We have found sledges.
:43:37
We have found ropes or
fragments of rope.
:43:41
We have found ramps of pyramids.
:43:46
The evidence has an
interesting tale to tell
:43:49
but getting the story on film
:43:50
requires some distinctly modern tricks.
:44:03
Production designer Michael Buchanan
:44:05
knows everything has to look just right.
:44:08
I'm trying to make the plaster
:44:09
Iook like real stones.
:44:09
So it doesn't look
like what it is!
:44:21
The plaster stones weigh only
:44:22
a fraction of the real thing,
:44:24
but the actors' efforts are real.
:44:28
As the camera rolls,
:44:29
20-man teams haul the blocks
:44:31
on sledges up increasingly steep ramps.
:44:39
It's a dazzling sight...
:44:40
and one not seen on the
:44:41
Giza plateau in over 4,000 years.
:44:48
Until now
:44:49
I haven't seen any film
:44:51
that is done on ancient
Egypt that is accurate.
:44:54
All that we see is like
30% accurate, until now.
