B) I'd probably also need a really good lawyer, when I came back down.

You just need to grease the right palms. You need palm grease.

I couldn't grease my way out of a grease pit.

Here are a couple in the British Museum. Maybe one of them fit.


Interesting how it's made out of that black granite like that fancy sarcophagus they found not too long ago. Perhaps it has some symbolic meaning.

Everything has a symbolic meaning, right?

Thats very interesting because granite is not a very good conductor of of electricity. But you can bypass a section of rock by way of a metal wire,and quite large currents will flow.

Don't quote me on this as I would need to look into it a bit more but the use of Goldleaf is also interesting as it kind of reminds me of a gold leaf electroscope

I can read hieroglyphics. Let me see... "Made in China for Pharaoh's Own, Do not machine wash".

What always gets me is how clean those carvings are. Not an over mark, or a bit of a mistake. I can almost believe they were put on a machine and done, to be honest. I know there are 19th century devices which let one copy a picture, line for line- a pantograph. Maybe they had something similar.

Ancient Egyptians used Electrum, an alloy of Gold, Silver, Copper and other metals like Platinum.

The casing on the GP was white Tura limestone.

The capstone was removed by thieves.

Hee hee

The pyramid was covered in gleaming white limestone and the capstone was covered in gold. That must have been quite a sight in the bright desert sun. As for the missing capstone... I don't think I have it but I'll check.

There are rumors that the capstone for the great pyramid was taken away back during the beginnings of islam and is now the Kaba (SP?) that is housed inside of the large black cube in Meca.

Not sure of the validity of that but I have read it several places as a possibility.
