For which you have not provided a valid citation. Repeating the assertion will not make it true.

It sits at the bottom of a big flat plain which is subjected to occasional torrential floods. The stone is weakened by multiple factors, including salt exfoliation. It would be a miracle if it didn't show "water erosion".

Please provide a documented source for this assertion.

There's an equally large amount of "circumstantial evidence" that the lunar landings were faked. Same quality of evidence, too...

Aswan Dam. This has been explained to you in the past, but you continue to ignore it.

None of which is based on actual evidence from the culture.

Well, there's your first correct point. Congratulations!

The rain in Egypt proper was not a real factor in the flooding of the Nile.


I'm quitting here. You've got no foundation, no evidence, and your ideas of what constitute evidence are well below standard. There's no point in continuing this, as it has all been pointed out to you before, but you just come back a month later restating it all again.
