Balance_Maintained: Oh Ye of little research. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the concrete. The Egyptians, as it has been discovered, did not have to haul these megalithic stones at all. Instead, they did what we would do.... they used concrete.

This is a quote from the first two sentences of the reference that you provided:

"Times Online is reporting that French and American researchers have discovered that the stones on the higher levels of the great pyramids of Egypt were built with concrete. From the article: 'Until recently it was hard for geologists to distinguish between natural limestone and the kind that would have been made by reconstituting liquefied lime.' Dec 1, 2006"

It seems that scientists still agree that the vast majority of the pyramids stones were quarried, and not poured. That would explain those large quarries relatively near the pyramids quite well I would think.

Balance_Maintained: Ok, I *THINK* what you are trying to describe here is the subjective perception of time.

The subjective perception of time varies with circadian rhythms and brain chemistry. What I am talking about is much more profound. According to The Harper's Dictionary of Mystical and Paranormal Experience, "Baseball and basketball players and golfers cite changes in time, in which time becomes compressed or seems to stop." Many have experienced this, as have I while in my 20's. A description and depiction of one of these events is even given in the movie "Big Fish" where the author describes it as something that has happened to others.
