Well, many ancient monuments deteriorated/were demolished during the millenia. That's only normal. We have the science of archaeology to excavate them, to study them, to reveal that they once existed. You don't seem to realize that archaeology seldom provides a complete picture, that's why you do not bother at all to have no archaeological evidence/substantiation for your theories.

I'm very sure Hawass knows a lot more about AE than you do ...

Anyway, Scott, you said ; 'The GOCT predicts very simply why there can be no Queens Pyramids for Khafre's 5 wives.' (here ; [www.hallofmaat.com]
The Hall of Maat :: The Hall of Ma'at :: Re: CORRECTION...)

That's typical for alternates, when evidence (Khafre's Queen's pyramid) invalidate their theories, they simply ignore it and/or give the evidence another nature than determined by true experts in the field ... Twisting and turning ...
