[QUOTE=Starpluck;36713304]It's an Egyptian sectarian Christian paper. Its not being covered by other sources because its obscure clerics from the Gulf, not Egypt, calling for its destruction. AKA incessant fearmongering.[/QUOTE] Never, ever let the shitheads slide, no matter how small they may be. Shame them publicly for advocating such an idea. Ensure that they don't get the chance to a quiet growth.

Might pick up a few idiots from the publicity but the fear and misinformation from these stories is the biggest problem.
Well there goes your tourism industry.
wat Those pyramids are priceless historical artifacts. One bunch of them is a historical wonder of the world. Razing them is just stupid.
This is [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhas_of_Bamiyan#Dynamiting_and_destruction.2C_March_2001"]Taliban-level bullshit[/URL] and it's certainly possible that it could happen. Despicably, the destruction of ancient monuments still happens in the modern age. [img]http://i.imgur.com/dimoE.jpg[/img]
The scale of that project....it would take decades to tear them down. It's just ridiculous.

cool, I don't care. It's called progress
Fucking moronic religious imbeciles The pyramids are amazing and they're still discovering things from studying them even now - they are an irreplaceable connection to past civilisations and to destroy them would be despicable.

[QUOTE=-Get_A_Life-;36712994]Nothing to worry about, never gonna happen. That's just sad to see some people are so devoted to their beliefs they're willing to destroy their own history.[/QUOTE] That is not their history. They are Arabs, not Egyptians. Egyptian civilization as a whole died on the dawn of New Era.
fuckin ancient egyptians why cant they just be more tolerant of the muslim values
ISLAM IS PEACE :downs:

[QUOTE=prooboo;36714839]Inferiority complex. The pyramids are a monument to the superiority of the pharoahs, and the muslims are intimidated by that. It's very freudian/lacanian[/QUOTE] Why would they have an inferiority complex? Muslims have the biggest clock in the world stationed at Mecca.
But Ra will smite us all!
Fortunately, ancient Egyptian culture and architecture lives on in themeparks around the world. [video=youtube;3yO5Tz1GvHI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yO5Tz1GvHI&feature=relmfu[/video] [i]Might not be entirely historically accurate[/i].
[QUOTE=person11;36713140]Haha good luck with that it's only lasted a good 3000 years or more[/QUOTE] and then we invented explosives I do hope they're not stupid enough to do this though.
[QUOTE=Aredbomb;36713173]Because when you have a religious founder encouraging people to spread their message certain people (usually politicians) will quickly interpret it as "destroy all competition". They did until the Catholic church was established. Then they got violent.[/QUOTE] You remember that Mohammed led his forces in the field several times? He personally oversaw the conquest of most of Arabia.
[QUOTE=bull3tmagn3t;36720524]But Ra will smite us all![/QUOTE] haha well he preceded all the allah shit so maybe he is the one true god...
Does anyone really think they can just blow these up? They're essentially a solid mass of limestone. The amount of explosives required and the debris field created would be astronomical.
[QUOTE=No_Excuses;36725847]Does anyone really think they can just blow these up? They're essentially a solid mass of limestone.

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;36719069]cool, I don't care. It's called progress[/QUOTE] Progress is changing all PC monitors from CRT to LCD, it is not destroying some of the most incredible structures ever built mankind, which have stood for over 5000 years, roughly half of recorded history. You're a luddite.
If Islam was a planet, would space explorers find anything of historical value? Because they sure are intent of destroying anything that they consider is offensive to their beliefs. Whether it's living people or historical buildings.
[QUOTE=EskillV2;36726790]If Islam was a planet, would space explorers find anything of historical value? Because they sure are intent of destroying anything that they consider is offensive to their beliefs. Whether it's living people or historical buildings.[/QUOTE] They'd find a lot of mosques.
But the Pyramids are an iconic wonder of the world, and have stood the test of time for millennia! Surely desiring to destroy them is nothing short of brutal heretical inhuman insanity in the extreme? They will not succeed in destroying those ancient tombs, and if they do they shall pay with their very souls.
They're secretly pissed because none of their buildings were(and never will) be as badass as the pyramids are.
The only way the pyramids will be able to be disassembled is if somebody goes in with a crane and takes it apart block by block. Hell it probably would be mostly intact from a nuke, it's pretty much solid stone with a few little tunnels in it.
