Did elephants help build the pyramids?
Nope, Aliens did, don't think so? then show me some Bulletproof evidence that humans did it and I might reconsider it, but as for now, noone has come up with a full answer of how they did it, and the alien theory would explain why they have alien portraits and flying veichle/objects carved on pictures inside the pyramids of Giza.
Why did Egyptian houses need to be built of mud bricks?
They didn't really need to but clay was very plentiful and cheap as Ancient Egypt was situated on the Nile. The bricks had straw in them(also a cheap component, it was to be found in large quantities after the annual harvest) for added structural support, much as reinforced concrete today, so that if a brick cracked while drying in the sun or from years of pressure then there was still the straw to hold it together.

How long can a portacath be implanted?
A portacath is for long term meds, like chemotherapy which can do harm to your veins.
When I had mine, doc said it could stay in up to 5 years, but must be flushed regularly, like at least once a month by your doc.
http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port-a-Cath
- I have a portacath, I had one implanted in me when I was 3 years old and had to have it replaced when I was 10, due to growth, but the port itself was fine. I have had the second one for 10 years now.
When my porta-cath was put in I was told that they have some (albeit rare) cases where people have had them in for several years (even up to 10 yrs). The important thing to remember is to a) keep it clean and b) keep it running. Usually they are only changed if a fibrane sheeth grows over the port or if the actual port brakes. The fibrane sheet is the main reason for them to be changed out. It is a layer of fibers that the bloodstream create. You can kindda compare it to a blood clot but not as dangerous. Usually that's why they flush your porta-cath every few weeks. They can give you a few different things to avoid these sheeths and worse comes to worse they can try to unclog it with a TPA treatment (its what they give people who are having strokes. It breaks up the clots). Good luck with your porta-cath. I know it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
How long did take to build the Great Pyramid of Giza?
It took 14-20 years to build the Great Pyramid of Giza.
When and how was the Great Pyramid built?
First the site was surveyed and levelled to provide a foundation for the Pyramid.
As the slaves cut the first stones for the pyramid from nearby quarries, thousands more began building the causeway, erecting storehouses and digging a canal to link the foot of the plateau to the Nile. Meanwhile scribes, the Pharaoh's project managers, dispatched orders for more supplies and labour both skilled and unskilled.
At any one time as many as 20,000 workers may have been involved on this massive project. Some of them were free men doing particular tasks such as masons, tool makers, carpenters, scribes and overseers. Many of course were unskilled slave labourers. A town was built for the free workers where they were provided with houses, food, clothing and even medical care. Less comfortable accommodation in the form of barracks was provided for the slaves.
Through the Pharaoh's reign, the construction site teemed with workers of all kinds hard pressed to complete the monument before the king's death. Khufu and his architects did not make it easy for them. The royal planners decided to enlarge the structure several times and relocate the burial chamber from beneath the structure to its inner reaches. The quarries are places of great activity creating clouds of dust. Through this dust the naked bodies of quarry slaves stand out dark against the yellow stone. Slaves are boring holes using primitive drill bits and sand which acted as an abrasive. After they had drilled cores deep enough to define a block on one side, they packed the holes with pieces of porous wood and then pour water into the holes. The wood expands so fast that the block splits out with a bang (or at least a crack). After the stone blocks are extracted from the quarry face they are lowered onto sledges. A mark is made on the stone by a scribe. This aided them to place the blocks in the pyramid just as they came out of the quarry ensuring a good fit without further finishing.
From dawn to dusk, gangs of naked slaves drag the sledges loaded with stones each weighing about 2.5 tons to a staging area at the base of the pyramid. Most of the stone blocks proceed up the ramp without future handling. Only a fraction of the stone blocks needed to be cut to precise dimensions by the masons. The slaves begin hauling the loaded sledges slowly up the clay and rubble ramp that spiralled around the emerging structure. The noise here was one of chanting slaves, the rumble of heavy sledges and the swish of the overseer's lash.
Boats made from reeds deliver brilliant white limestone from Tura just across the river. This stone will be used for the outer case of the pyramid. Once put in place and polished the effect will be awe inspiring. Giant barges brought granite from Aswan over 400 miles upriver. Some of the granite stones from Aswan weigh to 70 tons.
At the working level teams of slaves called setters shifted the blocks from the sledges into their designated positions. Once the stones had been delivered the hauling gang would make their way down the ramp carrying their sledge, in order to make the same back breaking journey up as they would several times a day. Their only substantial respite from this round of toil in the hot sun was when they stopped for a meal of bread and onions.
Toiling below were the support workers and guards under the watchful eyes of the Pharaoh's project managers, the scribes.
Other slaves are employed in maintaining and extending the ramps as the pyramid grew. These ramps are made of rubble, bound together with desert tafla (a type of clay) and laid with planks to ease the passage of the ramps. Rows of slave labourers are seen breaking up waste material from the quarries, mixing them with the desert tafla clay and loading the finished mixture into baskets. Individual baskets are loaded onto the shoulders of slaves for delivery to the ramp builders on the pyramid.

What can the Pyramid of Hate teach us about the Holocaust?
it teaches how people hate jews in that time.
The 'pyramid of hate' is just an artificial construct where someone has seen it as their place to judge that physical, mental, economic, political and other forms of discrimination are somehow better or worse than others, that there is a definable ranking on suffering.
Know that this is not true; you cannot rank these things, nor excuse one because it is not as bad as another. If the tendency for one of these things is within a person, then there is the potential for all of them, as was proven in the Holocaust.
It is however a method used to teach children about how prejudice can escalate to violence.
Where is pyramid plunder located and what is need to do the minigame?
pyramid plunder is a mini game located in sophanem but requires that you start icthlarins little helper
it should be noted that pyramid plunder is a dangerous mini game if you die you will lose your items. however you shouldn't need to bring anything majorly expensive anyway but i want to just warn you
what you need
you will need food nothing expensive trout will do fine
anti poison potions 4 should do it
if you have 68 summoning i recommend bringing a bunyip which will help heal you and might allow you to free up some spaces in your inventory
i recommend buying a pharoes sceptre from the g.e for about 900k it sounds abit steep but is handy as it allows you to teleport to sophanem
a way of teleporting out of there if things get bad
what to wear
non of there things are needed but they make things alot easier
boots of lightness
spotted or spottier cape
regeneration bracelet helps heal quicker a good substitute for the bunyip i mentioned earlier costs around 300k as of Wednesday 13th April 2011
info on pharoes sceptre
it has 3 charges to recharge it go to the mummy where you start pyramid plunder and hand it to him he will ask for some of the artifacts you got from the pyramid
pyramid plunder
to start go to the mummy and you'll enter the mini game there are 8 rooms
and 5 minutes to loot them each room has a required thieving level to plunder that room which is displayed on the sand timer each room has a sarcophagus a load of urns and a chest in the middle once you have finished looting a room pick the lock on the doors in the room one of them will bring you to the next room if you have gone as far as you can use the exit which will be available in the room
some tactics would be for example say you have unlocked 5 rooms if you loot everything in every room considering you only have 5 mins you wouldn't manage to get past the 3rd room so remember sarcophagi don't give any xp and take longer to open but sometimes give good artifacts which may help to recharge your sceptre but i wouldn't bother so don't loot sarcophagi just loot the main chest then when you get to room 5 ypou would loot everything so only loot everything in the final room you can go to
pyramid plunder method
this is only if you have 68 summoning with bunyip
get 14 anti poison potions and 14 bunyip pouches and a regeneration bracelet
and go in using your bunyip and regen bracelet to heal you so you barely lose any health bunyips last 44mins so you get alot of run throughs of pyramid plunder before it goes out then renew your summoning points at the obilisk outside sophanem then walk back so you can stay for hours and hours and only have to go back for mor anti poisons and grab a few bunyip potions

Did the ancient Egyptian Lern how to make chariots or built the pyramids first?
The earliest known pyramids were built in Egypt around 4600 years ago during the 3rd Dynasty. Chariots first appeared in Egypt when the invading Hyksos brought them in the Second Intermediate Period, around 3650 years ago. The Egyptians immediately began to copy this new technology for themselves.
So pyramid-building is much more ancient than chariotry in Egypt.
