I believe that's the case. But one of the things about wheel is you have to ask yourself in what circumstances, in what places, in what conditions are wheels useful? There are some conditions in which a wheel is not a useful thing and which is going to get bogged down in the sand and which is not going to be helpful.

So the use of sleds was certainly part of how ancient Egyptians moved huge stones. And I don't dispute that. The problem is how they then get those stones 300 feet in the air. Right. You can slide anything on wet sand on a sled with enough people pulling it. How do you get it to the top of the king's chamber? How do you get it to the top of the king's chamber? That's the problem.

How do you fit it perfectly? Perfectly. And, you know, I've been up there and I've been in every one of the chambers above it. And each one of them is floored with these 70-ton blocks and roofed with it.

More advanced in a different way. I think this is part of the problem where I've been perhaps misunderstood by Egyptologists when I talk about an advanced civilization. I keep trying to emphasize… That we shouldn't look for ourselves in the past, that if we're going to go back 10,000, 12,000, 15,000 years into the past and talk about a civilization, it's not going to be like us.

It's going to be very different. It's going to have different priorities, different ways of looking at things. But one of the things that the ancient Egyptians had, which I'm not aware that any other civilization has had, is the ability to sustain essentially a single culture with a single culture.

set of spiritual ideas and to sustain that for 3,000 years and to keep people happy and fed and well looked after. This is an amazing achievement, amazing stability when you look at it. What our civilization, how old is it really? Can we trace it back to the Romans? Probably not. Maybe 500 years, the beginning of mechanization and so on and so forth in our civilization. Pretty amazing.

I think this is an area where I often get criticized. But I think when we look at a civilization and what it is and what it's achieving and why it's so special… When we look at our civilization today, we are fantastic at technology. We are brilliant at science. We can make the best possible machines.
