Now Hans you know very well the graffiti that Vyse found is not accepted by everyone. Many think he hoaxed it. I certainly would not equate that misspelled scribble with the elaborate walls of hieroglyphs the Pharaohs would decorate their temples with. It can't be dated and it can't be determined if it's original or restoration.

Don't you think the Pharaohs, who thought of themselves as gods would want to take credit for the most magnificent structures ever built on earth. Of course they would. Their writing would be all over it. But it isn't. That's mighty solid evidence, proof in my opinion that the Pharaohs didn't build the ones without hieroglyphs originally.

They just repaired them and maybe modified them in some way.

Harte, let's say hypothetically the Vyse scribble isn't hoaxed. You still can't prove if it is original or restoration. In the article below it says Khufu admits he only restored or modified the pyramids. Read it and weep Harte.
Patrick and Gino have established the exact location of the famous labyrinth built by the ancient Egyptians. This temple is probably the largest man-made monument ever constructed and is reputed to contain a wealth of information and astronomical knowledge of the Old Egyptians. The authors prove their points with extensive scientific and archeological research. The excavation of this time-capsule will have enormous archeological and historical implications... In September 1996, I first read about the labyrinth in a French translation of "The Book of the Dead". The author, Albert Slosman, had deciphered old manuscripts in which he had read that the Egyptians had built an enormous building. This is also where the biggest treasures of all times would be. The Greek Historiographer Herodotus was amazed when he saw the huge labyrinth in the fifth century before Christ. It was the administrative and astronomical center of Egypt, had 2 floors, 3000 rooms and probably a diameter of more than a kilometer. For centuries, scientists and adventurers have searched for the labyrinth without success. But with his knowledge of astronomy, Gino discovered a correlation between the Milky Way and the Nile. He immediately saw that the temple of Dendera had to correspond with the star Deneb in the constellation Cygnus. One of the turns in the Nile in the area of Dendera even corresponds exactly with the Milky Way. He further postulated that the labyrinth had to have a heavenly counterpart: no doubt these were the Hyades because they formed a labyrinth of stars. Going from the pyramids that symbolize Orion, the labyrinth then had to be located in Hawara. To our amazement the labyrinth had been discovered on the location we had indicated! The excavations had been done 160 years previous by a German called Lepsius. He claimed the labyrinth was like a collapsed ruin.
The World Cataclysm in 2012 is the title of a book written by Belgian author Patrick Geryl in 2005 - and the title tells it just like he sees it. Patrick's opinion is so cut-and-dried - and quite devoid of hope - that he was interviewed in conjunction with the upcoming Sony Pictures movie, 2012, due to be released worldwide next month. The interview presents important information, including the announcement by Patrick Geryl that he and his associate Gino Ratinckx have discovered the location of The Labyrinth written about in detail by Herodotus, the famous Greek scholar known as The Father of History. Geryl is convinced that within the Labyrinth will be confirmation of his theories. He tells us that NBC will announce this discovery sometime in November... and Geryl has been interviewed in connection to this as well. Herodotus, who lived in the 5th century BC, wrote: ...As a token of their unanimity they decided to leave a memorial and that led to the building of the labyrinth, which is situated not far from the southern bank of the Moiris lake, in the neighborhood of a place called Crocodilopolis. I have been there and it is beyond all description. If you would make a survey of all city walls and public buildings in Greece, you will see that all together they did not ask so much effort nor money as this labyrinth...
Titre du document / Document title New light on the Egyptian labyrinth: Evidence from a survey at Hawara = Nouveau regard sur le labyrinthe égyptien : témoignage d'une prospection à Hawara Auteur(s) / Author(s) UYTTERHOEVEN Inge ; BLOM-BÖER Ingrid ; Résumé / Abstract Hawara in the Fayum is known to be the site of the Egyptian Labyrinth. Only scanty remains are left of this temple which was part of the pyramid complex of Amenemhat III. Despite drastic interventions such as the construction of a canal and numerous scientific as well as illicit excavations, new evidence on the Labyrinth was found during a survey by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) in March 2000. Two Middle Kingdom sculptures that probably can be identified as statues mentioned by Lepsius in 1843 have been located in the western sector of the Labyrinth. A group statue possibly representing Amenemhat III both as a Fayum god and as a king, and a mummiform statue of the deified pharaoh fit within the sculptural programme of the temple of Amenemhat.

So it's not solid evidence.
Let's use some common sense. Don't you think the Pharaohs, who thought of themselves as gods would want to take credit for the most magnificent structures ever built on earth. Of course they would.
Their writing would be all over it. But it isn't.
That's mighty solid evidence,
proof in my opinion that the Pharaohs didn't build the ones without hieroglyphs originally.
They just repaired them and maybe modified them in some way. The Sphinx's head has certainly been re-carved. The weathering of the Sphinx enclosure while still being debated has been pushed back way before Khufu.
