About the author:"Awarded a doctorate for her Judean work, she now presents the Egyptian chronology in full. She writes for the benefit of scholars, with extensive references as footnotes".
Her source for this statement above is...f-ing Wikipedia. Unbelievable. "Scholarship" in the 21st century ladies and gentleman. To make things even worse, Wikipedia does not even say what Tetley says it does. No mention of Hassass, no mention of the "drunkards of the crown of Khufu" (which is an error anyways), and the date the translation isn't even the same:
"The second source can be found in the relieving chambers inside Khufu's pyramid above the burial chamber. One of these inscriptions mentions a workmen's crew named "friends of Khufu" alongside the note "in the year of the 17th cattle count", but it is questioned if the number of years points to a biennial cattle count, or if the number must be taken verbatim".
Her book was published in 2017, this is what WP has said since at least July 2016. She must be quoting some other source she can't cite so she sluffs it off on WP despite the fact it does not even say what she is claiming it does. Bizarre.

The location of the inscription was subsequently lost until Zahi Hawass found it in a relieving chamber of Khufu’s pyramid. It referred to “a workmen’s crew named ‘drunkards of the crown of Khufu’ together with the note ‘year after the 17th time of the cattle count’.”67
