HOW? 12kya HS was Hunter gatherer. Mostly concerned with their next meal. The few hunter gatherers left extant today have a primitive or non-existent writing system. Writing and account systems, and mathematics itself, was invented to track and calculate inventories of produce after agriculture became the primary focus. Mostly so the upper classes that didn't do the sweating could make sure the lower classes did enough of it.

When asked how, in the absence of any written record, these plans could be passed down, you linked to a computer graphics rendition of the Giza Pyramids. Does this mean you think this "ancient society" had computer graphics?

HOW? They believed their ruler was God incarnate. The most vital need would be to please him with the layout of his tomb. Ma'at, duat, and all creation as they knew it depended on this balance. Why would you feel "secretly the builders would want to follow a design to please a society that was now dead in excess of 8,000 years over their own God-King?"

These questions have been asked so many times without being satisfactorily addressed I don't see how you can wave off dismissal as "an Ortho tactic".

Basically basic investigation, WHO? WHY? WHEN? WHERE?
