UnchartedX (YouTube channel started by Ben Van Kerkwyk), who (Nov/Dec 2021) cannot understand why, if samples were at some point taken from the painted markings in the Great Pyramid, no tests seem to have been carried out - [youtu.be] - (01:21:33-01:22:34).

For anyone who doesn't know the story:

In the autumn of 2013, various accounts emerged about how two German researchers, Görlitz and Erdmann, in search of evidence to support their theory that the Great Pyramid was not the work of King Khufu, had obtained small samples of paint from one of the crewmarks in the relieving chambers. (Despite some confusing statements made at the time , these samples were not taken from the cartouche name of Khufu in Campbell's Chamber). This episode resulted in something of a furore in archaeological circles, with accusation succeeding counter-accusation.

Some details here: [www.maatforum.com] - from a much longer thread: [www.maatforum.com]

(A long list of links, live as at Dec 2013, about aspects of the story: [www.maatforum.com]).

In the event, the samples (illegally) obtained by the two Germans were too small for any scientific tests to be carried out on them - [www.maatforum.com]; [www.maatforum.com]

Unfortunately, details of this disappointing finding don't seem to have reached either UnchartedX or Patrice Pouillard, the interviewee in the video linked above.
