The cartouche, so claimed, was found on the side of a covering stone. Covering is not inside the pit, it is on top of it.

Why do you go off on irrelevant tangents?

No it doesn't

I understand Warwick and Avry's lame point, it just doesn't hold water.

This before we note the presence in the chambers of the Horus name of Khufu, Hr mDdw, which no one so much as recognised as a name in 1837.

Canonically, a Horus name appears in a serekh. Whoever wrote the relevant inscriptions knew, not only that is was a name but also that such a name could appear without the serekh in a linear (horizontal) inscription. This is nontrivial knowledge: anyone who possessed it in 1837 would have a strong claim to being the leading Egyptologist of the day —

As for the character which tells us that these names — comprising the royal names, plus the other characters — are crew names: that wasn’t understood until the early 20th century.

Yeah, right: first of all, he’d have to recognise them as the right inscriptions to copy.

My point exactly. In order to commit fraud Vyse would have needed an inscription that depicted Khufu´s Horus name in a linear fashion.

For the allegations to be serious the fraud would have to be possible. And that brings us back to my question: Did Vyse have access to an inscription he could copy?

One argument goes that Howard-Vyse ordered the forgery so that he could proclaim himself the originator of a new and exciting discovery, and so claim a place in history. This would be fine as far as it goes, except that, at the time, no one, not even Samuel Birch, knew the details of how AE kings' names were written. H-V would have needed a TARDIS. So, besides revealing that H-V was a cad and a bounder willing to sacrifice the code of honour into which he had been born, confirmation that the quarry-marks were forgeries might be an indication of the existence of time-travel ...

Since you can't give even one piece of evidence that this Khufu built G1, you switch to personal comments.
Whatever characteristics I have will not produce evidence that Khufu built G1.

Can you stay on subject?
