The Inscriptions in the Red Pyramid: 17 years to build

not exactly faked, slaves were used,

Frequently stated, that one was debunked a long time ago. Corvee labor wasn't slavery.

kings did give daughters away to other tribes or whoring them out as you alluded to.

Also debunked. There was a law in place that Egyptian princesses could NOT marry foreigners. Kings would accept foreign concubines, but the women of the royal family had to marry and stay within Egypt.

Maybe he's checked in without logging in. I haven't asked. He seems to be aware of some of the stuff posted over here.

Harte

If you speak to him tell him to come back, his posts were always very good.

Howdy

Thanks for the compliment as far as I knew I was banned some time ago - obviously that no longer seems to apply.

Thanks to Harte for noting this too!

No worries, good to see you back on.

They probably would have done the casing stones last. After the whole core was already finished.

I mean: these are casing stones. You wouldn't want to damage them by dragging other heavier stones over and around them as you built the higher layers.


So..... this would be more like 17 years for the casing stones. After the rest had already been built over a longer period of time?
