Hi Jon,
Regarding your question "Reasons for Great Pyramid's hollow sides".
Anthony's work encompasses and explains this specific question.
"Why Khufu's pyramid has "creases" up the four sides".
Kindly allow Anthony to explain here.

Thank you for your personal opinion.
Conclude you do not think Anthony is actually "building" at Giza.

Hi Jon,
Thanks very much for the quote and information.
The lack of observable fittings, hinges padlock etc. only add to my initial interest.
Meanwhile every crease in Mr.Edgar's jacket is quite evident.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your reply.
Still can't reconcile the feature as being an "Iron grill Door",
re-touched or not.

Regarding the Edgar brothers archive pictures as follows :-
While one has no reason to doubt the description, the "Iron Grill Door" looks more like a charcoal sketch than a solid object.
Comments anybody ?

In view of your previous statements on this subject, I don't understand why, as an expert on this topic, you can't even estimate the intended final course height of G1.

I was aware of these tombs. Only 95+ to go.
Anyway this thread is straying from Jim's original post and Kanga's quote.
So I take my leave in the knowlege that ....my gardener may be arranging the flower beds in a more intelligent manner than I had previously considered.

Hi Pete,
Ok I'l take it that you could then endorse:
"The architects of the pyramids were farmers." :-)
I agree with you that the term "fascination" could hardly be associated in the context of "farmers". This would be the realm of the a higher class artesan. As Kanga stated, Architects. "rule-of-thumb" mathematics would be enough to satisfy &

Not very specific.
There are a fair number of pyramids.
Kindly provide a contemporary A/E textual reference in each case for the architect of all the individual pyramids.
A couple would do.

Hi Dave,
Could I suggest that Extreme Skepticism could never be considered as a science but an unhealthy habit.
I see absolutely nothing wrong in the statement:
The architects of the pyramids were mathematicians. Mathematicians have fascinations for such things.

Then contemporary evidence should exist.

Better logic to have stated:
"The architects of the pyramids are now dead."
Hermione can no doubt give contemporary textual references to
confirm the fact.
Notwithstanding, I agree and understand what you were saying.

Try placing a point at 3 radii lengths directly above the center .
Construct lines from this point to points on the horizontal radius which is
divided into five as per the vertical one.
The construction lines divide the 7 cubit chord into fifths as they pass.

Hi Dave & C Wayne,
It appears that the argument here is in two parts.
A. That the Saqquara Ostracon represents a sketch for the construction
of a specific saddle-back arch with cubit ordinate spacing as
already investigated by Gunn , or not.
B. That the Saqquara Ostracon data is either derived from a circle or
an ellipse.

Dave,
This analysis was done with J.L. after my website article.
Basically the results are the theoretical optimum radius and
ordinate spacing which best satisfy the basic Ostracon data by
using non-linear regression.
The optimum center is about half a finger's width from the
maximum ordinate position therefore we can safely assume that
the max. ordinate was intended to be on a
