Behind him a voice said, GOOD MORNING.
The king turned.
"Hallo," he said. "You'd be--"
DEATH, said Death.
The king looked surprised.
"I understood that Death came as a three-headed giant scarab beetle," he said.
Death shrugged. WELL, NOW YOU KNOW.
"What's that thing in your hand?"
THIS? IT'S A SCYTHE.
"Strange-looking object, isn't it?" said the pharaoh. "I thought Death carried the Flail of Mercy and the Reaping Hook of Justice."
Death appeared to think about this.
WHAT IN? he said.
"Pardon?"
ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE GIANT BEETLE?
Terry Pratchett, Pyramids

The deep past of ancient Egypt is carved in stone at Abydos, where the Mortuary Temple of Seti I houses the renowned list of 76 Egyptian kings, one of the most valuable pieces of evidence on Egypt’s history.

The Great Pyramid is about as high as a 40 story building and contains an estimated 2.3 million blocks of rectangular limestone, each weighing an average of 2.5 tons (some weighing approximately 70 tons). “Traditional” archeologist say the Great Pyramid was build in 20 years approximately 4500 years ago. To complete the Great Pyramid in this 20 year time period, a limestone block needed to be placed in finished position every 4 minutes 34 seconds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for 20 years. We can not build the Great Pyramid today using our modern technology in 20 years.
