Hermione:
Yours: “…First of all, the south side is the only side where material could be hauled up to the plateau;…”
Absolutely wrong…!
This pyramid has four sides like all of those on site and all four sides were used to raise stones.
Lehner’s “concept” of ramps built to haul stones around these structures is an embarassment to human engineering. One day he will finally realize and admit to the world that long extended ramps do not work…never did…never will…!
Your: “…On the east side, the causeway starts from the middle of the east face of the pyramid…”
The causway to the east drops off at the end of the mastabas…it was never intended as a path for hauling stones; it had no function whatsoever during or after construction.
Yours: “…There are very few structures on the south side: a few mastabas and a couple of boat pits, and little more…”
There are ten main mastabas and two boat pits and I will guarantee they, along with the three subsidiary pyramids were not built before G1 was completed. Therefore the three small pyramids could have been positioned in a balanced format on any side of the pyramid.
Yours: “…I think that if you look at Khafre and Menkaure's, you'll find that the east sides were the most suited for actually getting material up.
The majority of material for Khafre’s pyramid came from the west and north side of the structure, but again, the small pyramids were constructed after the fact…after their associated main pyramid was completed. They didn’t exist until the very end of each project.
Best.
