Hello Mark,
You wrote, 'See page 112 of my 2006 monograph on the Grand Gallery.'
Where can one find a copy of this monograph? (hopefully in PDF format).
Thank you.

Hello Warwick,
You asked me if I have a firm opinion regarding the question of whether the SC the QC and the KC were all part of the original design.
It is my very firm belief that the King’s Chamber, the Queen’s Chamber and the Subterranean Chamber are definitely parts of the Great Pyramid’s original design.
Broadly speaking, I propose that the original design of the Great Pyramid consi

Hello L Cooper,
From their design and dimensions*, it is clear that the ‘curious indents’ you mention are merely another pair of the puzzling slots/holes seen in the Grand Gallery’s ramps.
Why this pair is at the base of the Grand Gallery’s south wall and not – as one might reasonably expect to find it – in the top of the ramps somewhere in the space between the 27th slot/hole and the face of

Hello L Cooper,
Tim is quite correct to write: ‘The gallery slope is 88c and finishes exactly at Pyramid centre"
The actual floor of the Grand Gallery ends at the face of the Great Step – which is located over the East-West axis of the Pyramid’s base (give or take an inch or so).
Note the following: ‘. . . the face of the Great Step at the head of the Gallery (which descends behind

Hello Mark,
Thank you for getting back to me on this Grand gallery issue.
For what it’s worth, I see the Great Pyramid of Giza’s known passages and chambers and their contents as purely symbolic – no part of them served a practical purpose.
Having said that, I do believe that Khufu’s actual burial chamber is located somewhere inside this pyramid.

Hello Mark,
You wrote, 'The holes in the sides of the gallery were filled, as if they had a temporary functional purpose, and could have been useful in moving the huge granite blocks of the King's Chamber up the slope.'
Then how were the blocks of granite for the King's Chamber, etc., moved up to the start of the Grand Gallery?
What am I missing here?

Hello Mark,
Have you considered the possibility that the Pyramid’s subterranean section was added to the design after and not before its upper passages and chambers?
This could mean that in the Pyramid’s initial design the Descending Passage floor ended and the Ascending Passage floor started at 53.845 royal cubits (1110.9”) sloping from the Pyramid’s entrance, and about 8.364 royal cubits

Hello Pistol,
This might be something to do with some casing stones described by the Edgar brothers.
There are similarities.
See: 'The Great Pyramid Passages and Chambers' 1923 edition. vol. 1, Secs. 255 to 258 inc.

Hello Pistol,
You asked, ‘What would cause you to use an inferior vessel to house your body and invest so much effort on everything built around it?’
IMO, the King’s Chamber and its sarcophagus are not and were never intended to be the king’s actual burial place.
They are a blind and at the same time a clue (for want of a better term) to where inside the Pyramid the actual burial chamber i

I am convinced that the Great Pyramid's intended height and half-length of a side at the base were derived quite simply from the seked 5 1/2 as follows.
The intended height of the Pyramid is in royal cubits ten times the number of digits (28) in the rise of seked 5 1/2. 28rc x 10 = 280rc.
Half the intended length of a side at the base is in royal cubits ten times the number of digits (
