I'm reading this article on pyrmids
http://www.livescience.com/history/0..._pyramids.html

and this caught my attention:

"Why, despite the existence of millions of tons of stone, carved presumably with copper chisels, has not one copper chisel ever been found on the Giza Plateau?"

So I'm under the impression our data of first century CE, like the fossil record, is full of gaps, like most of antiquity, and the mere fact we have documents and independent pagan and Jewish sources that Jesus existed, and this claim is not extraordinary, is enough to ensure he existed by the standards of evaluating claims of ancient history, given our incomplete records. We can doubt our sources, but then we can doubt claim that is similar in evidence to the claims we have about Jesus, i.e Spartacus or Hannibal, or even Alexander the Great. Perhaps the 7 wonders of the world are mythical, except for the fact at least 1 has survived.

"Also, casting would explain why some of the stones fit so closely together. Still, as with all great mysteries, not every aspect of the pyramids can be explained. How the Egyptians hoisted 70-ton granite slabs halfway up the great pyramid remains as mysterious as ever."
