Alex,

As a Stargate fan, I enjoyed the joke. However, as co-moderator of B-Hebrew,
I must protest your disrespect of what I assume Ron meant as a serious
(albeit kina off-topic) post.

And please remember sign your full name. Otherwise I'll be forced to hand
you over to the Goa'uld Apophis.

I think your explanation contradicts the theories of Dr. Daniel Jackson  He
proposes that the Pyramids of Giza are much older than they are thought to
be.  Catherine Langford agreed with him.
