Pyramids

Earlier I believe David Tyler mentioned something about complexity of tools
affecting the final product. Two notes:

The pyramids are rightly considered one of the wonders of the world. Each
brick was fitted nearly seamlessly with its neighbors, and each was
incredibly heavy. There are passages weaving through them, as the purpose
was a burial home for a pharoah. Now, incredible though these are, the tools
used were fairly primitive. Some have even said building a pyramid now, even
with the technologies we have, would be nearly impossible.

Many of the finest woodwork is done with fairly old tools. Wooden
instruments, violins for example, are much higher quality when hand-crafted
rather than machine. Simpler tools, better result.

Just something I noticed,

Jason
