Ex-NYer and Look-at-stupid- tell me this one thing- archaeologist to my knowledge have never found a crane or any remains of a heavy construction vehicle in the ruins of Egypt. So please tell me how did the Pyramids get constructed? Do you honestly think they were constructed with using thousands of slave labor?

How were the pyramids built without cranes? There are dozens, if not hundreds of ways, it could have been done. A quick Google search would have provided all the answers you need. But, since I apparently have to do all the work for you, please start with this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptia...ion_techniques
You will notice at the bottom of the page that someone actually built a small pyramid by rolling 2 ton stones into place on logs, just to prove the concept.
The pyramids, Stonehenge, the Easter Island stone heads - they were all pretty much done the same way. They were laid on sledges and/or rolled over logs into position from the quarry to the final positions. No cranes needed. The Easter Island heads may even have been wobbled into place.
Remember, the stones of the great pyramids of Egypt weigh several tons and the Great Pyramid is mathematically perfect and they are even aligned perfect with a constellation?
So please tell me how these were built without cranes? can you imagine in 2012, man building the WTC with no crane are heavy lifting equipment?

And what does aligned with a constellation mean? Which one? In astronomy, a constellation is an arbitrary formation of stars perceived as a figure or design, especially one of 88 recognized groups named after characters from classical mythology and various common animals and objects. So, Orion (The Hunter), for example, is a constellation. So is Andromeda. But constellations cover a significant portion of the sky. They are not points. So when you say something is aligned, with the Big Dipper, what do you mean? A particular star? Or just any point in the region of the constellation? And what kind of standard is that - is just pointing in the general direction of the constellation good enough to be aligned to it?
Again, it you still think a pyramid is aligned on a constellation, please cite an article, OK? That way we have a remote chance of knowing what you are talking about.
But before you do, consider this. The earth spins, so the ONLY points in the sky that are aligned to any point on the earth are stars that are directly in line with the axis between the North Pole add the South Pole, such as Polaris above the North Pole. All of the other stars (and the constellations) MOVE through the sky. So, depending on what time of day and what time of year it is, the pyramids are constantly pointing at different things. And since there are 88 classical constellations and they are moving constantly, pretty much ALL of the sky is covered by a part of at least one constellation at some point during the year. So, how could a Pyramid NOT point at a constellation.
Walk outside and point your finger in the air. Remain VERY STILL for a few weeks. Congratulations. At some point, you, too, were aligned with a constellation. I don't know which one, but then, neither do you. You now have something in common with the Great Pyramid.
So that concludes one of 2 things had to have happened:
1) Either the Egyptians had technology back in those days that we no longer have or got lost over time- -if you believe in that concept than that defies current thinking in science since they dare not believe that mankind 1000 years ago were as advacnec as man today.
2) The Egyptians had help(i.e- the Pyramids were created via supernatural force or supernatural beings)- this would defy mainstream science since they don't believe in the supernatural.

When you finally figure out how mankind accomplished X, then the arguments changes to "OK, you still cannot explain Y, therefore God must have done Y. Therefore, God exists."
When you finally explain Y, they just move on to Z.
