No, it is how the Egyptian culture worked. Studying the culture, rather than AutoCad drawings would help you to understand why it is true.

There is no evidence for a funerary "plan" spanning multiple generations. That is something you would understand if you studied the culture rather than a calculator.

This has no bearing on Menkaure's pyramid, which, as I stated, was not even imagined at the time Khafre chose his location.

You are welcome to find an educated, informed, logical statement to be "unlikely", but people may want to know why, and for that you can produce nothing but more coincidences and speculations.

We have three thousand years of burials, and this would be the ONLY one that broke tradition.
