This as usual is the point of Ian's post. I thought attacks on the Ma'at board as such were against stated GHMB policy. Moderator?

Try to be coherent, Ian. Cite examples of people saying this. You'll have no trouble if `they' love to say it.

It's all tangible evidence, Ian. They (unlike you) are not in the habit of citing their supposed spiritual insights as evidence. All the evidence lacks is the honest appraisal you refuse to give it.

Try to be coherent. The signs of depredation at the site are very tangible indeed.

Only the radiocarbon dates and the built-in sarcophagus (of Old Kingdom style) and architectural features like the corbelled Grand Gallery (which fits the line of development) - all of which tie it to its context, a Dyn. 4 pyramid complex in a Dyn. 4 cemetery, containing the tombs of Khufu's relatives and Khufu's officials and Khufu's priests, priests of a Khufu cult centred on the pyramid and typical of ancient Egyptian funerary foundations in general.

Actually, Ian, there's at least one fragmentary relief from the area of the mortuary temple, as well as sundry statues (elsewhere mentioned) which current opinion assigns to Khufu - as well as the Wadi Maghara tablet and various other instances of his names and titles.
You wouldn't just be sounding off in ignorance of relevant facts, would you?
