If the problem were only hand waving and ignoring contradictory logic and evidence it wouldn't be so problematical but the entire science of Egyptology is founded on extrapolation and interpolation of very little evidence so when they ignore this evidence there's nothing left except the core assumptions that in the old kingdom changeless and superstitious bumpkins dragged tombs up ramps.
We are left with the science that is meaningless drivel unless these core assumptions are correct.
I'll say one thing though, you really have to hand it to these guys to figure this all out if they are right. And they figured it out in the 19th century without the benefit or use of modern science and technology!!! This is a miracle of biblical proportions!
