Of course it did. However, in light of recent work, it can no longer be held tenable. Even untenable theories continue to be used, simply because no other solution has presented itself.

I know you would like to think it is ignorance or arrogance, but I can assure you, it is neither. I have looked at the data they possess, and I have come up with better, more encompassing solutions than they have.

Seriously, Ritva, we both know that Khufu's pyramid is the "oh, that thing again..." topic to a lot of Egyptologists. Weeks' spent what, twenty years?, on the Giza plateau working on the tombs there and doesn't even mention it ion his work, I don't think.

I'm not convinced the 800-pound gorilla in the room is really all that important to most Egyptologists... even Dr. Hawass. They don't see it as the overriding center of attention that Egyptological neophytes make it out to be, so for them, they frequently will reiterate the last thing they heard that made sense, that's all.

It's a lot like politics in that way....lol.
