Dear Robin,

Good to hear from you too.

By the addition of the page numbers, I meant that it would be nice to make references not just to the source, but also to indicate the page numbers in it to make it easier to find information. For example, on the page "Precession and orientation" there is a passage: "Bauval noted that two stars, Mizar in Ursa Major and Kochab in Ursa Minor, were in vertical alignment, or ‘simultaneous transit’ through the meridian in 2467 BC, marking the north celestial pole". I'm wondering if Bauval suggested a transit of one (Kochab) or two stars (Kochab+Mizar), but to find the details I'll have to search through the entire book, so a page number would be helpful.

On the "Khufu shafts" page, there is a typo in the passage "It is interesting to note that the azimuth of the rising belt is about 72 degrees from north" (north -> south).

As for the match between Bent's profile and the Giza plan, I prefer to be a reader for now.

Alex.
