He has provided enough information in the Word for this to be plausible. As for paintings and heiroglyphics, other people than the original builders could have easily added those after the fact. Individuals full of vanity taking credit for the work. I don't believe we understand the true purpose of the sturctures either, limiting our perception of who built them and why. As for Babel, they said lets go and make brick, not 14 ton blocks!!! Anyway, I find my view more acceptable in "my own" mind to be convinced otherwise. With speculation we must rest on what we are convinced to be true.

About the 14 ton blocks, I guess you didn't know about a man who made it his life’s goal to find out how things such as this could have been made.
About 10 years ago I was watching a science show about this very thing. They showed some absolutely incredible things on this person’s property.
Many of which had to do with pyramids and other unexplained things. I wish I knew how you could view things for yourself (perhaps someone else can?), but I do remember how impressed I was as I watched.
If I remember correctly, this man didn't use any machinery that we have today, because they didn't exist in ancient times.
Also, if I remember correctly the show didn't give all that much insight as to how he did it. I was left scratching my head a bit, but it gave me the distinct impression that man was responsible for most or all of these unexplained things.
