There's a 28-mt Franck Monnier video in the thread to which I linked previously:

If you click the rosette underneath, you can get the French subtitles auto-translated (albeit none too elegantly) into English, which at least gives some idea.

At about 3:50 (having referred to Petrie), Monnier starts to discuss Jomard describing stones falling from the summit, etc. etc.
