Thoughts ATS...

The 'helicopter' is actually made up of the phrases psd.t "the ennead of nine" and X3s.wt "foreign countries" carved over the top of each other (in an act of historical revisionism by the new Pharaoh).
Specifically, a portion of the psd.t sign and the X3s.t sign on top of each other.

Agreed,
And the link between Khufu and the Great Pyramid is vague at best,
However I do definitely think there was a link, Maybe reconstruction/maintanance of the pyramid during Khufu's reign.
We have to remember that all the hieroglyphics ARE from the egyptians, now sure they may just have found the ruins of a previous society and started writing on them, However there is no doubt in my mind that the hieroglyphics in Egypt are from what we refer today as the ancient egyptians.
IMO then this is why there is no writing as to how they constructed the pyramids (While they documented nearly everything else)
Namaste.

Nah..the official explanation doesn't wash with me.
The way revisionist Pharaohs used to work was to eradicate existing text, sculpure and relief work and carve anew.
Adding symbols to existing sysmbols to create a miss-match, hodge-podge of symbols that mean neither the new or the old is at odds with what they actually did (wipe away or destroy and create new from scratch), and also doesn't convey the message of what the revisionists wanted since the panel does not represent the old or indeed the new supposedly replacing it.
It wouldn't have made any sense to alter it, only to replace it would.
The panel in question was actually hidden beneath a newer stone / plaster veneer, added over the top of the original by later rulers...which is vastly superior to chiselling away at old inscriptions and carvings to alter them.
I do think the people who were around shortly before the calamity knew it was coming and this is the entire purpose for these great pyramids around the world..to try and preserve their achievements and histories for their surviving future generations to hopefully pick up where they left off.
