What "new" questions?

Like what that specifically shows it was not done in the 3rd millennium?

Offered by egyptologist Mark Lehner over 30yrs ago which has no bearing on who built the monuments or when regardless.

Like what? The idea they may have served another purpose, like saw pits, has been around for nearly a decade.

Nothing new, an argument that is part and parcel of the rest of the megalithic temples at Giza being older, an idea that has been discussed by numerous authors in the last c. 50yrs alone.

This is conventional wisdom as the commonly held view is they were ceremonial and never actually used.
"Because the boats’ most important journey was intended to be a cosmic one, they may have seen little or no use in water like other ships."

> The narrative, the timeline,

All have been discussed in great detail by numerous alternative authors over the last 50yrs alone. I am curious what you think the "alts", i.e. you, have offered in the "last two years" that represents a unique contribution to this subject?

(Added): Also, I forgot, but several times you have said to the effect you believe the AE archaeological record represents several cultures-what evidence can you point to that supports this? For example, we can clearly differentiate between Mesopotamian or Greek culture/artifacts/influence and AE culture found in Egypt, therefore if what you are saying is true there must also be evidence of the differences that separate the cultures you propose. Excluding the technology of stone working, what artifacts can you show that illustrate the different cultures you envision occupied Egypt for apparently tens of thousands if not millions of years?
