He has also said this:

“. . . Were those surface joints remortared in more modern times thanks to the repair work of, e.g., one or more Dynastic king, or perhaps contaminated by modern hydrocarbon pollution, or finger oil and other bodily fluids deposited there by untold thousands of climbers and creatures over the centuries? . . .”

—mooting as an alternative possibility that the results represent (presumably accurately) extensive “repair work” by one or more pharaohs—which (one might have thought) is just plain inconsistent with what he said then and what he says now about “modern hydrocarbon pollution”.
