What do I do with information I get from reading books...? Sorry, not following you here. Is there something I should be doing with it that you think I am not?

Do you have an example?
Regardless, knowledge. As much as I can gather. Common sense. Asking questions and making an effort to find the answers. For a start. But also, as I have said before, there is a separation of what is "archeology" and what is the "interpretation" of that archeology. I focus on the former and take the latter for what it is worth. For example, you like to cry some kind of conspiracy regarding Reiser's interpretation of the Hetepheres find, but if you focus on the archeology and not his interpretation of it it's kind of easy to see it is just his opinion with little of substance to substantiate it. Just as many others who have studied it, it shouldn't take Lehner pointing it out to you, which nonetheless all it has ever been is Reisner's opinion. Why you think this is some kind of "conspiracy" is beyond me.
So, simply, the "truth" is that stuff was found there, but the "speculation" is why it was there the way it was found. We can also see what it was they found which is another "truth" unto itself. This is the "archeology". Which crazy as it sounds, you find it from reading books by Egyptologists. Good stuff, I promise you.
