Thanks for the link.
They don't come out and say it but Hawass IS the problem in Egyptology today. He not only stands in the way of gathering critical data but he won't let data already gathered be released. He screams about damage to the pyramids as noninvasive testing is not allowed and he drills holes throughout without even sampling the air within.

I've seen several translations of Herodotus' work but not one of them specifically says any great pyramid was a tomb;
"The aforesaid ten years went to the building of this road and of the underground chambers in the hill where the pyramids stand; these, the king meant to be burial-places for himself, and surrounded them with water, bringing in a channel from the Nile."

Yes. This could well be a sentence. The 16th definition of "cast" in the unabridged dictionary is "to set or change course". This could be a poor translation from the French or a poor translation from the Egyptian. It can be parsed

I have no doubt that "akh" means tomb to later Egyptians. I believe it meant "horizon" to the great pyramid builders which is a place up out of the Nile Valley from which the horizon can be seen and it is the place in which the king was rebuilt as the pyrami
