I'm impressed!
Do you reckon we should change the official forum language to Dutch. If nothing else it may lead to the fact that it would take the Giza math team a considerable amount of time to work their way around it and in the mean time we could actually have a decent discussion about things Egyptological
What do ya think?

Yep, but it's nice that we're being remembered, even though the first reaction is a terrified "OH GOD NO ... THEY'RE BACK!!!!!"

that's true ... but one chocolate-o-holic doesn't impress as much as an army driven by a constant hunger for chocolate...
You see ... you needed us to make the right impression.

Hi Don,

Well this is a bit too easy. You cannot just ignore AE religion/beliefs and only look at the geometry, and then when someone else explains why it couldn't be correct based on study of AE beliefs, just tell them they misinterpret what they studied.

I'd be more interested in photos of Angko Wat than pyramid alignments ... whatever you do, don't install autocad on your laptop...
Just out of curiosity and fully off topic: what kind of camera do you use?

So...
Don't know if I'm the first to make the remark, but I've just been staring at Don's drawings at GHMB for a while and the first thing that strikes me is:
It's a solution to Giza and there are barely any lines getting even CLOSE to the pyramids!!!!
I mean, granted: there are a few circles with the pyramid as a center. But that whole David star ... I mean, well

Congrats!
We moved to our house this week as well, after 8 months of work (it's a renovation project of a house from the late 1950's, which we bought last year)
For us, the end of the tunnel is still far away, though. We moved in but actually the upper floor is far from finished. But we can live on the ground floor for some time, I guess

I was in Athens last week and saw the remains of the Antikythera mechanism in the national museum, as well as the reconstruction that's on display there.
I also took some photos, including some of the CT scans that were taken. Due to a heavy workload I haven't been able to check how they came out, and I'm sure there are pictures available online as well, but I'll try to go

Colin Reader wrote a very interesting article on the directions and bends of causeways in the Old Kingdom. As I'm currently between houses (we're staying at my parents in law because we're renovating a house we bought) all my papers are in boxes which don't exactly allow for easy and immediate access. Perhaps you have a copy yourself, though?

Hello Ritva, Hello Warwick,
In fact, "culturally deposited" is a correct term in the archaeological field.
To assist in defining what I meant, I preferred to look for a true definition instead of just throwing in an explanation on my part. A quick google check turned up this, which seems to be a good definition:
"cultural deposit: sediments and materials laid down by, or h

"if" ramps ever did happen at Giza, I don't think a ramp covering the complete height would work given the enormous dimensions of such

Of course, this culturally deposited debris has to come from somewhere. What do you think the origin is?

I get what you mean and how you differentiate in the term "causeway". However - and please correct me if i'm wrong - I think Ronald was referring to the ceremonial causeway as having had a construction function prior to its final meaning.

I just looked in my own papers on the Sphinx because I was sure I had mentioned this somewhere: Lehner argued that the limestone rubble/clay mortar walls found in the eastern side of this northern quarry could be the remains of supply ramps, and he did so in this paper:
