Greg,


It is very obvious that Graham attempts to use every possible remnant on the Giza-plateau to 'support' his theories. A calibrated ruler indeed should 1) have a series of precise calibrations of the same dimensions and 2) it should be as low to the surface as possible, but it is not, as at the back (west), the height of the galleries' sidewalls is up to three meters. That he provides no evidence is not surprising in alternative theories on AE. He also did not answer yet my questions here ;
