Of course most of the hard lifting of exploring ancient Egypt and translating the language has been done by Egyptologists. Without their work almost nothing would be known and the Great Pyramid could be in even worse shape with even more of the evidence destroyed.
But this doesn't make their assumptions not to stink.

Nobody knows what they are talking about. But everyone, all life, always makes sense in terms of their premises. There are many reasons a story might not make sense to us. That it is fiction or a lie are only a couple of them.
I believe the only things that can shed light on reality are evidence and logic. Everyone has an opinion. None of them count for much of anything at all other than providing insights to their premises.

Man fears the pyramid, time fears man.
