Interesting info on the Pyramid http://www.rickrichards.com/egypt/Egypt6.htm
quote: Why is the photograph of the cartouche in Figure 4 NOT an accurate representation of the SAME CARTOUCHE as depicted in Figure 3?
Based on Col. Howard Vyse's authentic historical record (dated May 27, 1837) I believe the original cartouche discovered in Campbell's Chamber looked exactly like that drawn in Figure 3 (the glob of paint looks like excess paint to me.)
But why does the modern-day photograph look so different from the original drawing of the same cartouche?
I believe that days or years or centuries or millennia later, someone (Vyse? or a modern-day Egyptian restoration project?) realized the circle needed THREE crosshatches inside it in order to correctly spell the letters "Kh" (as in Khufu) and painted three (3) crosshatches in the circle, the middle crosshatch covering the ORIGINAL DOT in the center, which is depicted in Fig.3. But, while the forger(s?) painted the new crosshatches, they inadvertently made another dreadful mistake -— They didn't quite cover up the entire DOT in the center that was originally drawn! (see Fig.3)
Examine Fig.4 again, this time VERY CLOSELY. The middle crosshatch has a very obvious and suspicious bulge in its center. I believe this bulge WAS originally A DOT at one time, particularly on May 27, 1837 when the historic discovery was first made and recorded (drawn.)
If any of you are wondering about the red, ochre paint used (by Vyse) to paint the inscriptions, interestingly enough, the same red, ochre paint the ancient Egyptians used was still in use in 1837.

quote: Dr. Joseph Schor of The Schor Foundation. Schor had obtained an annually renewable five-year license to conduct acoustic and radar surveys on the Giza plateau under the direction of Florida State University. Said had entered into a joint-venture with Schor to film the work for a new documentary.
The sight he saw was very different to the one shown to the world on the FOX TV Special. A pile of muddy debris extended from the eastern side of the room and tapered off at the sides into the water. Towards the centre the partially buried enclosure also full of water broke through the debris. Said's crew scraped away at the dirt on the chamber's eastern side to clear a flat area for the camera tripod. It quickly became apparent that a smooth hard surface was becoming exposed. As more was revealed, a dark sarcophagus lid came into view.

quote: I have found a shaft, going 29 meters [95 feet approximately] vertically down into the ground, exactly halfway between the Chefren Pyramid [the middle pyramid] and the Sphinx. At the bottom, which was filled with water, we have found a burial chamber with four pillars. In the middle is a large granite sarcophagus which I expect to be the grave of Osiris, the god... I have been digging in Egypt's sand for more than 30 years, and up to date this is the most exciting discovery I have made...

Is there a point to this? Given that the pyramids were built by large gangs of laborers numbering in the tens of thousands as well as thousands of highly paid artizans and overseers, the 100 year mark is not only reasonable but also leaves adequate labor to perform other tasks.
Egyptian society at that time required all commoners to give a month or two in service to the crown in labor on the monuments under construction. After the required service, the commoners returned to their farms. During their time of servitute, they were paid for their labor.
There was an Arthur C. Clarke program on pyramid building which showed that a gang of 30 men could move a 2.5 ton stone from the nearby quarry and place it using simple tools in a few hours. Divide it out by the tens of thousands of manual laborers, and you have a sustainable rate of 6.9 blocks per hour without pushing the limits of safety. |

The interior of a pyramid is not made of huge 2 - 2.5 ton stones. It contains a much larger number of much smaller irregular stones. A good explanation can be found here.
The interior stone are very irregular, have small rocks filling gaps, and get smaller the higher up you go. Almost all large stone structures use finished stone only on the facings and have a rubble or rough stone interior. Anything more becomes way too expensive. Even peoples who used slave or forced labor understood economy in building.

They've mostly been able to get to interior more near the upper part of the pyramid.
The article says they do not know for sure if the interior of the Pyramids is how the article thinks |

Considering that the original person who tunneled into Khufu's pyramid cut directly into the pyramid instead of finding the door, I would say that the depiction of the interior stones is accurate since that is what they found. |

Yes, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY OF YOUR OWN IDEAS? What the hell is the purpose of this thread, I'm confused. Are you claiming by-proxy that these things dont exist or are faked in some way, if so who/what when etc.
You really need to work on that whole 'thinking' thing. |

Kilik is probably just one of those individuals who lacks the ability to formulate any thoughts of his own. And he also clearly lacks the ability to communicate. Perhaps he sees the rest of the world communicating, perceives it as simply making noise, and in a sort of monkey-see-monkey-do way, feels he must also make noise.
Kilik, here are some words of advice, and I'll try to put this as simply as I possibly can: Other people don't understand you, therefore you aren't communicating. If you have a point, make it. If you're just here to fill this forum with links to other sites, go away. We aren't following your links, and we don't want to be bothered by your noise making. Trust me on this one, every person here is eminently qualified to Google for themselves. We don't need your feeble attempts to help us become better informed.

My feelings keep telling me that they're simply perfectly mundane tombs made by megalomaniac rulers. |

You need to learn to hear your inner being and inner voice.
Some might simply veiw that from their lower level, as a concience. Your concsience doesn't tell you your thinking is invorrect about the Pyramids? |

Nope! My conscience is aware it doesn't have any power over reality. |
