And this is exactly how and why Egyptology went so very far wrong: They decided facts, evidence, and logic are irrelevant. Even today half a century after the invention of infrared technology they still haven't released any result and re showing ever more signs they have no intention of ever releasing results until they agree with their basic assumption. Just today a French language version of this nonsense was released;

However, Egyptologists still need work in order to propose some elements of confirmation - or reversal - of these elements, from what they already know about the pyramids.

Their cart is in the ditch because put the cart before the horse.

They'll never go back and question their assumptions because they are "established science". They are theory and there is no Egyptology without ramps and stinky footed bumpkins.

Petrie founded Egyptology and He can't be wrong and He mustta did all the damn measurements needed.
