How many times posters said to you that we found ramps ? Do you
think we are lying to you ? Ramps make part of the multitude of An-

Yeah ...
It is so absent that we have found ramps in situ, on different
locations, ànd in association with pyramids ...

The majestic Grand Gallery is the ultimate proof that
ramps were used in the construction of Khufu's Great
Pyramid.
It's surface is sloping and a whole series of holes indi-

Cladking ; "I'd agree it's largely speculation but it's still based on facts and logic."
The (arte)facts are ramps (we found them in close association with pyramids), so the logic tells us they used ramps in pyramid building. The ramps are tangible evidence, your lines aren't.
That we don't find ramps that reach higher than a few courses is also logical ;

Hello,
I see a 'resemblance' between the front view of this niche and the cross section through the Grand Gallery, when looking towards the entrance of the KC's 'antechamber'.
Or am I exaggerating ?

"It appears that ballast was lifted in the "grand gallery" from 80' to 160' to minimize the number of individual lifts to complete the pyramid top."
If this was the case, then why is there no Grand Gallery in Khafre's pyramid ? This pyramid is as big as Khufu's.

Hello All,
I am currently looking for reliable information on all the cartouches found above the King's Chamber (Khufu- and Khnum-Khufu cartouches and others), so the complete assemblage. If possible also pictures of each cartouche.
I read that also on some of the core masonry stones on the exterior of the Great Pyramid Khufu- and Khnum-Khufu cartouches were found. Is this true and

Hello to All,
It has been a while ago that I have been here.
On another board, currently there is a discussion going on about a strange wooden object, having been found in the 18th Dynasty Theban tomb of Kha and Merit.
Here it is ;
I did some research on the web and found that it could have been some sort of 'balance'.
