So, Lehner is one, not all, of the Egyptologists in the world.
Who else? Names, please.

Hi Clad,
So, that's is it. You cannot name more. You know I consider you a friend, though by not answering with additional names only implies you have no evidence, and you are unfairly grouping all Egyptologists together. Painting them all with a brood brush. Speaking of them with such rich adjectives, only shows you are bias.
Really, whats the point? What are you looking for? You seem angry. Even with all of my Illustrations, I'll be the first one to tell you, all of it could be wrong.
As a foot note, I agree with you that they did not build ramps, as that would have consumed nearly 50% of the Pyramid and 50% of their build time. Certainly, not in 20 years. I have struggled with this 20 year time frame for years, and that does not include large ramp building. 1 stone every 3 minutes. Now what you can do, is join a University and/or work at making them provide a scenario based on math. How many men can fit on the ramp. How fast could they pull a 5,000lb. stone up a grade? Where did the materials for the ramp come from? If anything, we should work on that, as that is prof it is unattainable. Once you have those figures, you have something you can present to a University of Egyptologists, and ask them to agree or disagree with their outdated assumptions, and provide another scenario based on calculations. Attend a lecture. Just doing it up here on the blog, will never change much. You have to challenge them.
So now, we need more names and minds to change. Where do we go to obtain that information?
