Thanks Waggy for seeing my point. Sometimes I wonder whether I'm in an alternate universe from the responses I get to my posts.

That's why I quit studying Egyptology. It's one of the most reactionary fields there is. The Upuat project was amazing, but then Gantenbrink got tossed out on his ear banned for life from Egyptology because he offended his magnificence Hawass. With today's technology we could knock out the dimensions of the entire Giza plane in a couple of months and have it up on the internet. But nope we just keep relying on ancient reports.
