have you Read A Sakovich's ARCE article?

Not suggesting any idea is right or wrong.

But there are a few that are internally consistent with the contention that G1 was built by Khufu approx. 2550 BCE, as a cenotaph/tomb. And that this Complex was the means by which he both communicated his role as mediator with the devine, and lived out(hopelessly bad pun) that role.
In this light, the shafts can be seen to be part of the symbolism.

If someone were to state that based on their understanding of the evidence, G1 was a water pump.
Then suggesting the shafts were part of the venting would be reasonable, being internally consistent with the greater contention.

IOW's my stating the Shafts were probably symbolic is a logical conclusion for 'ME' to make.

How's that?

Here's the funny part

Years ago the Giza Water Pump was a spoof theory promulgated by a university group.

I used to sarcastically refer to it as the Cistern Chapel.

Back to the point. Not the little one...the Big one.

To date no other over all scenario has been brought forward that comes close to being able to incorporate as many of the 100's of different unanswered questions as does the Mainstream one. While one can disagree with any aspect of that scenario, one cannot disagree that it is the scenario that is the most internally consistent.

None of which stands as proof of anything other than a feeble attempt to illustrate that my understanding is not superficial. And that like anyone intelligent I have entertained just about every possibility over the course of my life, but allways end up more firmly in the same place. I only wish that more of those who hold to other scenarios, were as openminded as they accuse me and others of not be

They man, not you.
