Again thanks to Wayne and Chris Question: I have rarely seen this theory mentioned (to explain the bare walls in the Pyramids) is it unaccepted in Egyptology/by Egyptologists, common knowledge and accepted or have I just missed it over the years?by Hans - Ancient Egypt

Thank you C. Wayne and Chris So to sum it up the theory is out there but there is not a lot of factual evidence to back it up? Were any intact wooden panels found in earlier Mastaba? Ah, where might I fine Mark Lehner's paper? Thanks againby Hans - Ancient Egypt
Actually the greatest land grab was probably the centuries long movement of tribal groups from central Asian into Europe, the ME and North Africa. Driving off/displacing and taking the land of others was a world-wide cultural norm.by Hans - Ancient History
Somewhere, someplace I came across a theory that said the bare inner chamber walls of the Giza pyramids could be explained by the AE painting on wooden panels and that these were then lost when the pyramids were looted. Does anyone know who proposed that theory and does it have any basis in fact?by Hans - Ancient Egypt
Found in the writings of these civilizations.by Hans - Ancient History

"2x" wonderful. This is the first Pi thread I've actually found interesting! (seriously) A good way to look at the question of Pi. Anthony could you do a similar thread on why the pyramids are NOT built to look like the three stars in Orion.....by Hans - Ancient Egypt

Nappies great days were in the Italian campaigns and later against the Austrians and Prussians. A great strategist? Try General Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeckby Hans - Ancient History
Scot old boy you seemed to have missed the point of my question. If there was a plan why are all the pyramids (all the pyramids not just Giza) built differently? If there was a plan shouldn't they be the same? Just how many plans were there? Why are the pyramids different sizes? Different shapes and designs, difference construction methods and located in different places if the "pby Hans - Ancient Egypt
Scott a question You seem to think there was a plan. If there was a plan why aren't the pyramids all the same? Why would they be different-if they were built following a 'plan' shouldn't they all be constructed in the same way?by Hans - Ancient Egypt
Hi Don The purple pyramid is just superimposed over the photo of the pyramids, it's side don't run thru the centers of the pyramids and stops arbitarily. I cannot see how this means anything. Why do you feel it has any meaning?by Hans - Ancient Egypt
Question Is my reading of the sweet potato discussion correct in thinking it says that the DNA evidence is against a human agency transfer to oceania from SA but some unknown natural transfer is possible? Is that correct?by Hans - Ancient History

As someone earlier said, The location of the three Gizamids was probably determined by the location of a stable location and the queen's on the available space. I presume there is a geological study of the plateau that shows fissures etc? If one were to place the buildings on this plan by there assumed building dates it might give an idea how the site 'evolved.by Hans - Ancient History
oooooh I sense unopen minds in this thread - open those minds my friends and let the wisdom from Philip flow in.... Either that or take a rather sharp cheese grater to your brain.by Hans - Ancient History
