I have no problem if you want to believe those conclusions. I just consider the evidence to be replete with reasonable doubt. I see absolutely nothing convincing in the physical evidence that specifically confirms that any megalithic pyramid was built in the 3rd millennium BC. No artifact, painting, description, or even graffiti of any tools and methods from any of the many tens of thousands of workers, supervisors, and officials who were there, saw it happen, and participated in the construction, for over 200 years.

Regarding the inscription you keep citing, there's no proof of provenance of that tomb, the "system" of interpretation is problematic, the inscriptions could have been added at any time after the walls were built, and I see logical flaws in that narrative that raises questions about whether the events you interpret from that inscription actually happened.

You have your opinion about the strength of evidence, and I have mine.
