I'm attempting to discuss and understand is how the AE managed to do the things they've been credited for, and so far the evidence seems very slim. Whether you want to chalk up such questions as "pretense", "deflection", or "obfuscation" has no bearing on my effort to seek answers. If you don't want to contribute to the question of how the ancients knew how to align pyramids to the cardinal points, then it's not clear why you bothered to enter this discussion in the first place other than to criticize those of us who challenge the paper presented in the OP.
