How do JW's explain the Pyramids?

    I've honestly forgotten what kind of a response they would have to something like that: ie How did they build the pyramids? & when.

    ** The when part would have been within 6-7000 years ago, considering they believe man has only been around that long.

    ** How? They were closer to perfection and therefore it is reasonable to believe that they could devise ways that we can't today?

    just an interesting thought.

    Hey you stealing one of badboy's future threads?

    What's their answer? History books are wrong I guess. The Bible is right no matter what, same old story. Don't read outside material. Don't lack faith or you're toast.

    I actually had a conversation about this with a JW at work recently. When he said "Humans have only lived on Earth for 6000 years", I asked him when he thought the Flood had taken place, and he replied "Around 4200 years ago".

    So I then asked him to explain why kingdoms which existed in Egypt, Sumeria, India, and China (to name a few) didn't appear to have noticed a global Flood, but went on with business as usual, building temples and pyramids, some of which still exist to this day.

    His answer was kind of evasive..."Uhmm, I may have my dates wrong". Truer words were never spoken.

    I was a JW once in a different life.

    I think the Gaza pyramid may have been a hydrogen power plant.
