Quarried no sign of cast stones
Not at all you are probably confusing the pyramid with the Sphinx enclosure
No known use - lots of theories thou
Nope - are you saying all this to try and push the "giza pump" idea?
Explain further ? Do you mean the wall associated with mortuary temple or something else?
Burial chamber with damaged sarcophagus

Quarried no sign of cast stones
there have been many experiments done with cast stone with the materials available also by the builders.
- stones on the outside have MASSIVE wear of water flows on them.
the two shafts ascending from the ´queens chamber´have no opening to the outside. Only the two shafts of the ´kings chamber´lead to the outside bute are angled multiple times and were sealed.
the pump concept/ idea isnt the worst one. The only flaw imho is that the shafts are not hermetically leakproof, as they have vertical cuts. But maybe they were somehow at a time.
the outer wall enclosure around the pyramid of course as it was build then.
shaft:
I meant the one, huge vertical shaft on the south side.
nope. no mummy, no inscriptions, no lid.
I think that there are many buildings still under the sand which should be recovered.

Don't tell me you better get on to Wiki and rewrite the explanation cause they think in a single wire system it goes through the ground.

And its a testable theory who is right by using DC. Have positive terminal connected to the wire, and supplying a load some distance away with the output side of load connected into ground using a stake. At the negative terminal at the supply side also stick a copper stake into ground, with also connecting a shunt of known higher resistance to the ground path. This shunt will be used to measure voltage drop across with a multimeter. If your right then even with DC used at high voltage no voltage drop will occur across shunt resistance.
What do we see on the wall? On the right (east side, low down, in orange), the entrance through which we currently enter this room.
On the left, the layout of granite blocks forms a doorway (in pink) that takes the entire weight of the (dark) granite ceiling beams. The (yellow) blocks filling the doorway do not bear on the central block at the bottom (blue).
This seals the second entrance. It is free, exactly like the block that once sealed the first entrance. Free: in other words, it could be moved… for example, at the end of the king’s funeral ceremony, when the pyramid had to be sealed.
I also carried out an experiment with an out-of-date plastic credit card: I tried to slide it into the right-hand joint between the blue block and the pink block of the doorway I could do it easily, although it is practically impossible elsewhere. (It is often said of the joints in the pyramid that they are so perfect you could not insert a razor blade into them.) I slid this card, laid flat, along the stones, from block to block, to check their alignment. The only time my card stopped was exactly on this joint, proving that the blue block is slightly below the pink block. If the blue block had been put into position at the same time as the other blocks in the chamber, it would have been perfectly aligned with the others.

a reply to: Hanslune
Hey everyone- long time lurker- first time commenting. I was reading through this old thread and couldn't help noticing how Hanslune got "owned" by Scott.
This is an older thread- I wonder, shall I jump forward and see if either Harte or Hanslune provided answers to the questions on the subject they seem to so adamantly represent...
Nah- I'll keep reading-I'm "Loling" a lot myself.

I have looked around in Scott's forum- Its my favorite I think. He posts a lot of interesting, thought provoking ideas.
originally posted by: GuyinKY
Admit it, you've learned a lot from Scott. After all, you don't have to agree with someone to learn from them.
Thanks for the reply!
originally posted by: GuyinKY
As to if he "stole" them or not is irrelevant- As I stated, he posted them. Are you arguing that a reptilian posing as Scott posted them or can we agree that Scott has posted them as stated?
Then you've learned nothing. At least certainly nothing as to the degree of my gullibility. Is your argument here that by me finding "ideas interesting and thought provoking" (quoting myself here) a measure of ones gullibility?
You posting here and "learning nothing" (as I just surmised above) combined with your ineffectiveness to measure ones true state of gullibility leaves me wondering if I should bother engaging further in such meaningless dialogue with you....
I thought it over and i'm willing to give you a second chance!
Hurry..this is your chance to prove me gullible for giving you a second chance!

a reply to: Marduk
I'm not sure why you would think I would list anything for you? Not to be rude but I'm not looking to prove anything to you and you dont pay my salary. My comments stand for themselves and since they are statements of my feelings are proof within and of themselves. I said I found his post interesting and thought provoking this makes Scott's posts relevant to me. You concluded that me finding posts interesting and thought provoking made me gullible. This is laughable and plain stupid.
I doubt you are unintelligent (but maybe i'm gullible) so I think you get how ridiculous your comments are.
I didn't click the link you provided but I believe it to lead to a review of Scott's book completed by some other guy with an opinion. I have actually read the review a few days ago but not Scott's book. Are you looking for my opinion on this dudes review? If so, why? Do you suddenly hold my opinion in high regards?

If you're that long of a lurker as you claim then there is no way you haven't stumbled upon Marduk on similar threads. Him and Harte are the devoted protectors of the paradigm. (at least so they've convinced themselves)...So whatever you say is going to be denied by them. And if you live in North America I'm sure you must have stumbled upon some bumper stickers in the cars that say: Unless you're an hemorrhoid, get of my @ss...
lol

You say Paradigm, I say facts
Pity you only have baseless conjecture for your beliefs isn't it
