Hermione:
My error of course...!
Yours: "...instead, my post was concerned with getting the stone up to the plateau. On the north and east of the Great Pyramid, the ground drops away quite steeply, which is why Khufu’s causeway had to be constructed on a fairly substantial embankment..."
Mine:
And that is why Khufu insisted on three satellite pyramids built on the east side of the pyramid and south of his causeway that he couldn't use. Combining that with the two cemeteries, boat pits and southern mastaba explains exactly why these small pyramids are placed where they are...correct?
In sequence then:
G1 built
ramp(s) removed
causeway carved
valley temple constructed
base temple built
east cemetery constructed
west cemetery constructed
south mastaba and boat pits set in place
three small pyramids constructed on the only room available.
Am I correct in the above assumption?
Best.
Clive
