He doesn't want to be associated with bogus science, what it wrong with that?
They always try to trick established people from fields to leech off of their credibility. He knows very well if he was in the same debate with these hacks they would take all of his comments out of context to live forever on the internet as if undisputed facts.

The evidence of water erosion alone, on the Sphinx, is pretty conclusive don't you think? Another thing that doesn't sit well with me is that the water erosion and the complete lack of hieroglyphs can be dismissed by alleged laborer graffiti while a stone tablet crediting repairs, and not the building of those pyramids, is somehow unbelievable. I mean, the entire culture surrounding these pyramids is documented in hieroglyphs covering every inch of stone but there's nothing but bathroom graffiti to account for building of the one of the wonders of the world???

Pharoahs with superhuman egos who went through the process of placing theirs names and import on everything they could find wouldn't have covered the inside and out of pyramids with tales of their greatness and godliness? ? That has always struck me as odd.

"established" anything is often wrong. Egomaniacs will go to extreme lengths to defend their theory, even when the logic begins to crumble in front of them.
Question everything, don't let these chauvinistic quacks tell us how to think.

Actually, for that time period, no.
Such a memorial might have existed in his temple, which was in front of the pyramid.

I've wondered about this and done a little cursory digging but haven't found any definitive answers yet.
Alternative theorists will often bring up the lack of hieroglyphics in the Great Pyramid when contesting its link with Khufu. Yes, there is little to be found. But before anything is made of that fact, one question needs to be answered first .... what do we EXPECT to find according to what is known the funerary practices of the time? Comparisons are made with the ornately decorated tombs in the Valley of the Kings, but these are of the New Kingdom and over a thousand years after the time of Khufu. In the pictures I’ve been able to find of other Old Kingdom pyramids, the lack of interior decoration seems consistent. Granted I haven’t done an in-depth search, but from what I have seen that seems to be pretty much standard for that period, is this correct?
