The stonework is supreme, look at those joints...
This stonework is original, right? Not some 1800s recreation of how they envisioned it?

And THERE you are Cladking;
Wait, let me guess.
Although the Egyptians spent millennia developing their Royal burials, working gradually from simple dessicating sand graves, past crypt burials, early mastabas, more advanced mastabas, bent pyramid, etc thru to the Great Pyramids... you hypothesize they had ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with each other?
They stand alone in a vacuum unrelated to

Update;
This peaked my curiosity, I did some follow up research.
Apparently micro plastics are EVERY where, even the air we breath. Everything you eat, drink, or touch.
Now considering we thought smoking was fantastic for 300 years before we awoke and thought "By Jingo; I think (coff) these might be (coff) for you!"
Whats the chance we discover 100 years from now that deep sea

Thank you Paul...
I read that as "there ought to be a law..." not IS one.
There is an agreement but the only time it's ever been used is Canada/Russia where Canada claimed a well documented $14 million radiation spill cleanup,
Russia only paid $3,000,000. There doesn't appear to be an appeal court to protest to...
Which means the UN would have to forge an agreeme

As far as I know there is no international law covering space debris.
IF such a piece should hit private property, a house, car, person; who is liable? The country that launched? The country it fell on? Your personal homeowners insurance?
It seems perfectly acceptable to launch whatever one wishes, knowing it will fall back some day (orbital decay), and not have anyone accountable. I know

I just found it interesting that Neanderthal and HSS were more supportive of inter-breeding than HSS late foragers and early farmers.
Of course one must consider that 1) it was 20,000 years earlier and 2) overall population was far less. It may have been best for the species to interbreed than let individuals go unbred at all.

I would think it's most likely introduced by digging into the strata and pollinating it with micro plastic.
I suppose considering how small the pieces are, they might percolate down thru rainwater.
Either way, I think the jury is still out on the long term effects of micro plastics in the environment and us.

Thanks for catching this Hans. I had posted a link to an article on how little the last hunter gatherers interbred with early farmers in post ice age Europe.
iirc it was far less than Neanderthal and HSS interbred in the same area 20K years before... but the link didn't copy right...
I'll find it again and repost.

I remember how some disagreed with inbreeding between Neanderthal & HSS... now it's commonly accepted...
Now there is evidence very late hunter gatherers took planned steps to prevent interbreeding...
To me that says at one time it was considered better to breed between Neanderthal & HSS than between settled farmers and wandering hunter~gatherers?

Interesting.. There doesn't seem to be evidence of walls , defensive works, or large municipal structures...
Those ridge structures could be tells built up over two millennia, or flood protection elevations, or both I suppose.

I wonder if it hybrid just from pollination from adjacent plots?
Or was it in some way spliced….
Also fascinating how dominant the hybrid was without having any real survival superiority
Some genes dominate without bestowing benefits…
This whole story would have horrified Darwin!
Bully genes with no benefit….. Sacrilege!!

Henry defeated John in 1485. Either NO one waited on them for 2 years, or they weren't there to be waited upon.
I've also seen "why would John trigger like this?"...

Tradition and the Torah both use “tribes”… but I think historically “clans” works better.
Some expand, others contract, some die out from lack of male issue, some weaken and are absorbed by stronger clans.
Since the Torah was written over centuries, I feel this best accounts for the different lists.
Imho The lost tribes of Israel becomes easier to wrap your head around as clans

I'm thinking the "little" pyramid is farther back up the slope to make it appear just as tall as great Grandfaather, grandather, at a time when the Old Kingdom was stumbling and couldn't afford to build it to the same scale.

Is it physically possible for you to STAY on topic?
OP asked if the pyramids are aligned with the stars.
