The "raison d'etre" for the board is not about satellite photos manipulated in autocad programs with spaghetti dropped all over it.
This is about ancient Egypt. Your work has nothing to do with ancient Egypt, and everything to do with psychological projection and ethnocentrism. Your belief that somebody in ancient Egypt must have seen it that way is only that: a belief. It has no foundation in fact or evidence.
Personal beliefs are off topic here.
Secondly, if you read carefully, you'll see the banner reads "Weighing the Evidence for Alternative History". Since you have presented absolutely no evidence for your baseless speculations, your posts have a second strike against them. In reality we can't even discuss them here as an alternative theory. Since we are dealing with you saying "I believe" and the rest of us saying, "Your belief doesn't convince us in the least", we can never proceed with any conversation whatsoever, within the general guidelines of the board.
Ronald is right on several grounds. You can't change that with strawman arguments about what you claim he is arguing, versus what he has actually said.
