The existence of causeways by itself seems pretty impressive.
They didn't spend twenty years (or even 6 weeks) building stone
ramps down to the quarry so why were these so important going down
to the river.
There's erosion on the Sphinx. Perhaps this is just many centuries
of rain and perhaps it isn't.
There's the sand in the walls of the queens chamber which isn't
like the sand found in this desert. Either they trucked it in or
it got there in some more plausible way.
There's the salt encrustations. This has been blamed on tourists
but I just happen to know for a fact that very little salt evaporates
in our bodies. Spitting and urinating might introduce salt but that
certainly wouldn't tend to segregate to only a few areas. It's cool
enough that most people won't be sweating excessively.
There are the holes. Say what you will but people who drill holes
probably aren't always making pots.
Cambell's tomb appears to actually be the world's first flush toilet.
There are oddly shaped stones built to machine precision. Such things
aren't made today unless it is required to their use. It's hard to be-
lieve these people had nothing better to do than overbuild things made
out of stone.
There are the "proto-pullies" which appear to be the couplings between
stones to prevent rope damage when several are accelerated together.
Holes in mastabas might provide access after orchards are planted on top.
The djed pillar appears to be "the backbone of Osiris" which controlled
the height and pressure of the geyser. Utt 298 even gives clues to the
operation of the throttle at the top. (I'm coming to believe the Pyra-
mid Texts themselves constitute physical evidence)
The Was-sceptor was used to operate the throttle and was used by gods
and kings alike.
The extensive tunnels and cut passages in the area screams volumes about
the geology.
There's a carbonated lake in the Ancient Egyptian Nile head waters!!!
There is known to be an aquifer going far upriver.
There's the natural cavern directly in front of the Great Pyramid, not
to mention the various (canals) leading away.
There's the fact that the builders tunneled through completed structure
to reach a natural cavern with a diameter of 7 cubits and a (well) of
3 cubits. (over which Re's boat was pulled)(papyrus of Ani)
There are the historical accounts of Horapollo who said the ancients be-
lieved water came up from the ground. It's highly improbable this could
occur in the valley. There are the statements by Manetho that stones moved
up to the pyramid 300' at a time. Herodotus claimed the ancients dug for
water rather than build canals when possible. He also said a canal was
built to Giza. (impossible because of height)
There appears to some to be water erosion in the lowest chambers. I don't
know but there are also some hard to totally dismiss reports that there
are connections underground to the Sphinx.
There are not only the sloping sides of the pyramid but, more importantly,
there appears to be a groove in at least the north side. In fact at some
angles, three equally spaced grooves can be discerned. These are pretty hard
to explain except by a great deal of material going up and down. If they
used counterweights which does seem apparent then what were they filled with?
There's a large N/S cavern under Saqqara.
The whole area was once the eastern side of a great canyon that extended
to Aswan. It should be pocked with caves to great depth. Surface water
movement (the effects of) are visible from the satellite photos. All the
pyramids just happen to be contained between the old and new course of the
river in the area pocked by caves. There's even a massive sinkhole on the
north side of this region.
I'm sure I'm forgetting many more right now.
Everywhere you read, everywhere you turn you find only mysteries. Some of
these mysteries are addressed by NONE of the theories. That's right NONE
of them. Yet if the existence of geysers is simply assumed then everything
fits into place.
