I've run into monotomic gold, platinum and other platinum group metals repeatedly in researching the pyramids and ancient times from the pyra- mid construction to the alchemists. I don't recall any mention of this being in the queens chamber but there was undoubtedly salt if you believe the ancient reports. Indeed, this salt encrustation was quite thick.

They've also drilled a hole in the wall of the queen's chamber and found sand unlike any in the area. There is a plan afoot now, I believe, to do more exploration and drilling in this air shaft.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
Tepees, wigwam, longhouses, tents, palm frond huts, caves, and pyramids stand up well to earthquakes. But where population density crosses a certain threshhold then buildings are constructed of stone, wood, or me- tal frame. These generally do not withstand the long- itudinal movement caused by quakes. When buildings col- lapse they tend to start fires because of broken pipes or spreaby cladking - Ancient Egypt
Most primitive building techniques are highly susceptible to earthquake damage and the resulting fires. Significant earthquakes tended to demolish cities before quite recent times.by cladking - Ancient Egypt
I've run into this several times in looking at the hydraulics and tunneling in the area. The theory has some interesting aspects but at least one huge weakness; water wouldn't have flowed from Lake Moeris unless the Nile flood exceeded about 175'. It's interesting that they came up with the pump concept but never took it a little further to include building the pyrby cladking - Ancient Egypt

I'm sure you're right that I am lifting things from proper context and you've pointed out some specific examples even in this thread. I'll probably start a thread in a couple weeks if I still think there might be any validity to this crack- pot notion that contains many of the lines from the PT's which appear to support the idea.

Thank you very much for the input. The concept of hot-water geysers at Giza really appeals to me on a number of levels. I can just picture sailing up the Nile and seeing these. Unfortunately I can't find a geologist who believes it's pos- sible for these to have existed in the absence of active vulcanos even on a transform plate boundary.

I'm still toying with the idea that much of the oral tradition which was the basis for civilization before language originated in Egypt. Cities themselves grew more to the east but the concepts and ideas were often Egyptian. Perhaps most of this was lost and the "integrity" of the traditions disrupted when civilization collapsed in Egypt in drought and the re- sultingby cladking - Ancient Egypt

Everything on the planet is attracted to the moon as it orbits about us. This attraction decreases as the square of the distance so things on the near side of Earth are much more affected by the pull of the moon than those things on the far side of Earth. For the main part we don't see this difference in the attraction because most everyday objects are small so there is little diff-by cladking - Ancient Egypt
Many here may be aware of the lake in Cameroon that exploded several years back. This would have been on a far smaller scale than what is suggested to have happened at Giza, but is a very similar phenomenon. This lake became supersaturated with carbon dioxide from vulcanic activity in the area. Some precipitating event caused it to "fizz up" which lightened the pressure on deeper watby cladking - Ancient Egypt

The strenght of a tide is related to the difference in the distance of two points to the center of gravity (the moon). On land the tidal stresses are just as great as in water but there is less deformation because the tectonics plates are not so easily bent. Water on the ot- her hand can have a huge difference in its distance to the moon from one side to the other. This is especially truby cladking - Ancient Egypt
