Here are the six whole cartouches which appear as graffiti in the ‘relieving chambers’ above the King’s Chamber inside the Great Pyramid, and which were forged by Howard Vyse and two of his assistants. Not one of the whole cartouches represented in these Great Pyramid graffiti is correct. Not one of them gives the name ‘Khufu’ (the Egyptian form of Cheops). Nowhere in the graffiti does the correct Egyptian hieroglyph for ‘kh’ appear. That hieroglyph is a circle with thin parallel stripes drawn across it diagonally, which is generally thought to represent a round reed sieve. When writing the name ‘Khufu’, one always begins with that and then follows with the signs for ‘u’, ‘f’, and ‘u’. The men who faked these graffiti did not understand correctly at that period in time that this was how the name of ‘Khufu’ was meant to be written. Instead, the circular hieroglyph is shown either with a dot in the centre (which was the sign for the sun, Ra or Re), with a dot and a line in the centre (which means nothing and is a sign which never existed), or with a splodge in the centre which is of indeterminate shape. When the solar hieroglyph is used in these graffiti, the reading is thus: ‘… -raf’, and is definitely not even ‘…khaf’, much less ‘khuf’. The little chicken used as a hieroglyph for ‘u’ by the Egyptians is so badly drawn that it looks more like an Egyptian vulture (which was a different hieroglyph entirely), or otherwise looks like a six year-old’s attempt to draw a fish. All of the whole cartouches found amongst these graffiti are erroneous and pathetic forgeries.

The cartouches and royal titles daubed upon the walls of the compartments were imprecise, crude and extra large… They are in sharp contrast to the precision and delicacy and perfect sense of proportion of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, evident in the true masons’ markings found in those same compartments

Sitchin....assailed by Egyptology and mainstream media for his opinion.
Robert Temples publish of the drawings from the chambers in Figure 21 confirms
Sitchins opinion.
The drawings are overly large...crooked ...as though the painter were challenged by
Circumstances and ability.

A study of these drawings by hand painting art expert would note where drawings started
and direction.
The tell tale signature of same person hand motion.
In this case....it may be shown.
IE Hill and or Raven.
Which means One ancient Egyptian or 2....drew all these at the quarry ( not !)
Or in Situ.
