i was watching one of those mysteries of the egyptian pyramids type shows the other day. theyd float one ton slabs of granite 600 miles up the nile on barges specifically for the task of blocking passageways to the burial chambers and the riches within. granite, apparently is rock hard compared with that prissy limestone. who knew? those wascally tomb raiders wouldnt be dissuaded, however, theyd just tunnel under the granite instead.
