For serious discussion of the controversies, approaches and enigmas surrounding the origins and development of the human species and of human civilization. (NB: for more ‘out there’ posts we point you in the direction of the ‘Paranormal & Supernatural’ Message Board).
As I said it took years of hard work to deduce the nature of Egyptology and sum it up in a few words; it is the study of changeless and superstitious people who dragged tombs up ramps. Sure, I could add some of their other incorrect assumptions like the timeline of constuction and the nature of the Giza Plateau and man's occupancy of it butmost of these erroneous assumptions aren't really relevant to any of my arguments so I don't cite them often. I do sometimes express my astonishment that Egyptologists believe in "old wood" but don't believe in scientific testing including C14 dating.
Despite these considerations you simply are blind to how it would impact the nature of an "expert witness". Experts can only talk about what they know and Egyptology knows about superstitious bumpkins dragging tombs up ramps. This is easy enough to follow. Ya' gets what ya' pay for and we pay Egyptologists to parse the Pyramid Texts and study the orientation of bones and pot shards. So we have experts who can describe superstition and tombs dragged on ramps in terms of bone/ pot shard orientation and the deconstruction of a book of incantation. Nothing here seems unusual to youonly because you're too close to it. Step back and take a wider view and you'll see "experts" who don't believe in science and won't do the testing that would give us a scientific understanding.
Now you can ignore my point again and drone on about how I just repeat myself.
How would you get through to people who refuse to listen? Am I just supposed to keep saying all the evidence is clear that stones were pulled up five step pyramids one step at a time and apparently water was used to do it? Am I supposed to ignore the simple facxt that all new evidence fits my theory much better than it fits the paradigm? Am I supposed to ignore the fact that Scott Creighton (et al) have much better evidenced ideas of the nature of G1 than the paradigm? Am I supposed to just kowtow to the unevidenced assumptions spewed forth from those who support orthodoxy?
The nature of human progress has always included revolutionary ideas. Every idea has been superceded after a few centuries. It's time that Superbumpkins die and make room for homo omnisciencis. Old things must die for new things to be born. The pendulum has swung quite far enough.
No matter how many ways it is said and no matter how hard you try to not hear, all our assumptions are probably wrong. The truth is right before our eyes and Egyptology refuses to look or report the findings when they do. My guess is that my predictions about the nature of the thermal anomalies are all spot-on so they just won't release them. Of course they refuse to talk about it. They are trying to do business as usual instead.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
