What kind of game are you playing now Warwick. Like this is your classroom and you're going to teach the children something. Those are Hancock's words. If you have a point, get to it.

What you quoted was his retraction of what he written in FOG. That retraction was then retracted in 2011

It's possible I threw the baby out with the bath water with that retraction. Unlike the unforgettable quarry marks positioned between the blocks, the Khufu cartouche is in plain view and could easily have been forged by Vyse.
I do not insist it was, I just accept that it could have been, and that some interesting doubts have been raised over its authenticity. I await further evidence one way or the other.

Compliments of Creighton's THE GREAT PYRAMID HOAX.

I would add that the glyphs that are claimed to be inaccessible are of a completely different style than the cartouches. And Dune easily solved the problem of how to paint in the inaccessible places.
